LEGISLATION FOR LABOR.
Final Passage of the Bill to Legalize In.
 corporation of Trade Unions,

The U. 8. House passed without amend ment the Senate bill to legalize the incorpora- tion of national trades unions. The bill as originally drawn was amended in the Senate so as to limit the authority of such organiza- tions to the District of Columbia and other Territories. Under the provisions of the bill as it will now become law the organizations of the States have only to affiliate with the na- tional trade union in Washington to gain all the advantages of the act of incorporation. MT. O'Neill, of Missouri, chairman of the Labor Committee, got the unanimous consent of the House to take up the bill.
 The text of the bill, which is the first act of Congress recognizing labor organizations de clares that the term national trade union,' in the meaning of this act, shall signify any more branches in the United States or Ter, ritories of the United States for the purpose of aiding it's members to become more skilfu1 and efficient workers, the promotion of their general intelligence, the elevation of their character, the regulation of their wages and their hours and conditions of labor, the pro- lection of their individual rights in the prose cution of their trade or trades, the raising of funds for the benefit of sick, disabled or un- employed members or the families of deceased members. or for such other object or objects for which working people may lawfully com bine, having in view their mutual protection or benefit.
 That national trade unions shall. upon filing their articles of incorporation in the office of the Recorder of the District of Columbia be- come 8 corporation under the technical name by which said national trade union desires to be known to the trade, and shall have the right to sue and be sued to implead and be impleaded, to grant and receive, in it's corpor- ate or technical name, property-real, personal and mixed-and to use said property, and the proceeds and income thereof for the objects of said corporation, as in its charter defined. Provided that each union may hold only so much real estate as may be required for the immediate purposes of its incorporation.

A Blind Mail Carrier.

The mail route between Claryville, a mountain hamlet in Sullivan county, N. Y., and Big Indian, Ulster county, is twenty one miles long, and is through the toughest and widest portion of the Catskills The road is so rough, in fact, that the mail is carried on foot, and the carrier is Clark North. who is totally blind. He has carried the United States mail over almost impossible Catskil routes for thirty years, since he was boy, and has never seen any of the wild region through which he has travelled.
 His former route was in the wilderness region between Shokan and Sampson vile, at that time an almost unknown country, frequented only by hunters and fishermen. yet the sightless carrier made his trips three times a week with the regularity of clockwork. He travels his present circuit of forty-two miles three times week, and has never missed 8 day either in winter or summer. Snow drifts nor floods seem to be any barrier to him. He has never met with an acci dent. In spite of his long life of ex posture to rain, snow, cold, and heat he is wonderfully vigorous in health. He is walking encyclopaedia of the region through which he travels.
 Although unable to read, he industri ously gathers from others all information on the current topics of the day, and, as he never forgets anything, is probably the best informed person on general subjects in that part of the CatskiIl region. Kind, honest industrious, reliable, no citizer in this region stands higher in the esti- nation of all classes than Clark North, the blind mail carrier of the Catsdills -Nelo York Sun

Terrific Leap from a Lofty Br dgc.

ST. PAUL, Minn., June IA mysterious affair occurred at the M lwaukee Short Line Bridge. Two unknown men Ieaped from the bridge, one from midway between the shore s. distance of 143 feet to the river, while the other man jumprd from 8 point nearer the west shore and didinot touch the water at all, falling into some trees. An engineer on the train states that as he came on to the bridge he saw man deliberately take off his COS t. throw it over, then plunge headforemost after it. He turned over number of times in the awful flight downward and seemed to strike in heap on the surging waters. He came to the surface imm ediately, and seemed to turn over seven or eight times and then struck out toward his coat, which was floating down stream. Three men fishing about half mile below the bridge saw dark object fall from the bridge and float down the stream. As it came nearer they saw that it was mans form resting on log. They shouted, but no response came from him. It is supposed the man, being too weak to direct the course of his luckily gain d log, foated down stream untl lodged on some tsr OF wss dxq1nsa,

This Porous Y1sstsa

THE agent of 8 New Mexico ranch man paid his semi-annual visit to 8 dis tant grazing ground, only to find the sheep-herder dead and the sheep quiet ly feeding in fertile canyon near by, iealously guarded by his dog. In the rear of the corral, into which the sheep were driven every night, lay the bleach ing skeletons of dozen or more sheep. Astonished at the sagacity of the dog, the ranchman secreted himself and waited until night. As the sun began to sink the sheep came trooping in, with the dog in the rear. They crowded into the corral through a narrow open ing, and as the last one pushed forward the dog seized and killed him, and then dragged the lifeless body to the rear of the corral, where he made comfort able supper of portion of the carcass, leaving the balance for future meals. He had been doing this ever since the death of bis master, and would prob ably have continued his guardianship over the flock until he died.

The Female Clerks.

There are 4,000 women in the Gov. ernment departments at Washington, says local correspondent, and many of the best-lookng and most intelligent ladies of the capital are so employed. They come, as a rule, from good fami lies. Many of them are the widows of noted Generals, the daughters of ex Governors and eX-Congressmen, and now and then you will find the relative of a President or Cabinet Minister. Many of them have travelled widely, and the great ma iority arc educated and refined ladies. They do all kinds of work, and receive salaries ranging from $72O to $1,s00 year. As money counters they are much more expert than the men, and the rapidity with which they can count thousands upon thousands of dol lars without making mistake makes your brain whirl as you watch them. These money counters get about $15 a month. and they count millions of dol lars every month. At one side of each one on the table lie great piles of green backs. done into packages as they come from the press. I am speaking now of the Redemption Bureau of the Treasury. These bills are old and dirty. The strip of paper around each package of 100 bills states where they came from, and who counted them in the country The young lady takes this off, and moistening her fingers with wet sponge in front of her, she counts the bills like lightning, and, if the package is not right, she reports so to the chief, and the banks from which the bills come must stand the loss. The girls seldom make mistake, and if they do so or pass a counterfeit without noting it, they must make the mistake good, and the amount is taken out of their salary. They can tell. however, bad bill simply by feeling it, and a bank cashier will make hundred mistakes where they make one.
 Not long ago one of these young lady counters was engaged upon lot of $100 notes. She had been dropping the scraps on the floor beside her in a pile, after verifying the count. While she was counting package she would lay this scrap, marked with the name of the bank which sent it, on the table beside her. At last she came to package that contained only ninety-nine notes, and on looking for the scrap was terri fled to find that it had fallen among the others. She was sure she knew the name of the bank, but she could not prove it. The bank was notified and refused to acknowledge the mis- take, and the poor glrl was forced to pay the $1O0.

Fresh Air for City Children.

A few years ago, lady, who owns a large farm near one of our great cities in wEich there is an asylum for the deal and dumb, happened to pass the gate one summer afternoon with a basket ol fern, pitcher plant and mosses in hel hand. A class of boys who had just returned from their daily march through the streets, were entering, and seeing the homely little blossoms, crowded about her, talking together with waving hands and excited fingers.
 ''It is so long since they have seen any thing from the country" apologized the teacher
 "Do they never go out of the city?' asked the lady, as she distributed hel treasures.
 "No; they are here for five years They go out, as now, to walk every day. They have a gymnasium for exercise. But there is, of course, no money for country excursions"
 The lady went home, and consulted hel neighbors. They baked and boiled roasted chickens, made sandwiches Their husbands contributed little money. The next week the deaf and dumt pupils marched to one of the stations How they talked! With eyes, hands, arms, laughing faces, dancing feet, everything but voices: Never were SC many happy people tingling with life from head to foot crowded in one car Never did the country give such rap turous welcome to guests before. The visit has been repeated every year since then.
 A gentleman, member of the Phila- delphia City Council, happened once te pass down an alley carrying chestnut 1T it's burr. The street waifs crowded about him, but not one of them knew what il waS."
 "Off tree2" said one 'T thought nuts came in bar'ls."
 "And in the park of Philadelphia, , reflected the Councilman, 'there are thou sands of nut-trees untouched"
 He broke into the financial debates o1 Council at the next meeting with tho astounding proposition that sum be sci aside each year for Nutting day; that the children of the public schools on that day be transported to the park, wher, they should bag all the nuts they coulo gather.
 This impractical motion passed witl | exclamation, and from that year the poo children of Philadelphia have added { holiday to their list, as dear as Christ l mas or the Fourth of July. Youth C0nap07li0n.

A Suicidal Plunge to Death.

Jacob Bolander, once a well-to-do farmer of Akron, Ohio, by series of misfortunes lost his money and by the death of near relatives was compelled to go to the Poor House. He was not able to do hard work, and frequently remarked to the Matron that he was getting more food and better care than he earned, and finally refused to eat and settled into confirmed melancholy. A few mornings ago he was dragged to the dining room and was prevailed upon to take nourishment After dinner he made his way to an upper story, fifty feet from the ground, and, after taking off his coat and boots, plunged head long down. His skull was horribly crushed and death was instantaneous.

The Carrying Power of Water.

The carrying or transporting power of water increases as the sixth power of the velocity-a prodigious rate of increase, as may be inferred from the fact that stream having velocity six times as great as another will be able to transport material weighing 46, 656 times as much as that carried by the slower stream. The data from which engineers commonly calculate the effect of SCOUT on river bottom are about as follows: A stream flowing with a velocity of three inches per second barely produced an eff feet on fine clay; six inches per second will raise fine sand; eight inches per sec ond will raise sand of the coarseness of linseed: twelve inches per second will sweep along fine gravel; twenty-four inches per second tor one and cne-third miles per hour will carry pebbles of about one inch diameter; thirty-six inches per second (which is about two miles per hour, or about two-thirds the rate of speed of a moderate walk will sweep along fragments the size of an egg.-Boston Budget.
