COM MUNICATIONS.
The Walking Sneak.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I supposed that after the decision in the City court recently that boyootting is il- legal and punishable by fine or imprison- ment the walking delegate would cease in ficting his presence on the storskeepers who do not care to entertain him or listen to his cheap nonsense. But it seems was Iaistak en. He is around again and has changed somewhat. Instead of wearing the look of cOnqusror he is now somewhat crestfallen, and instead of demanding he beseeches in way that would do credit to broken down dealer in 'fsmal1 truck" After listening to his plaintive vail for about twenty minutes and seeing that he would not take the hint, I informed him that he had better "move on" and he departed. Why does he not engage in some honorable occupation which would cause people to think of him as @ tolerably decent fellow and not an unmitigated nui- sance, as they do nows B.
 I've suppose that the walking delegate will continue to walk as long as he can find anybody foolish enough to pay him for doing so, or as long as he has nothing else to do. all desire to injure the JOURNAL & COURIER and then tells many lies as he thinks those who are willing to listen to him will stand. He has stopped threatening with extermina- tion those who refuse to obey him, and is acting the part of thorough sneak, for which he and all his kind are well fitted. All 'tgall" is divided into three parts and walking delegates have at least two of them. ED. COURIER

The FOolishness eff Lfbrettt.

There is another departp at of musical literature which has long the target of well-merited ridicule, az which room for improvement has exist centuries, and not in England alone. ', allude to the li- bretti of operas, cantatas, etc., the habitual badness of which is so hackneyed theme as to call for no remarks from us. There are many of our minor poets who we believe would gladly undertake such task, and even if they failed to reach very exalted strain, would at least avoid the grotesque platitudes, false rhymes and bad grammar 50 often observable in work of the kind Why should not the festival committees specially commission their poets as we'll as their com posers, instead of allowing the latter to fall victims to the first hack with whom they meeta Even failure will not teach musicians wisdom in the matter; with misplaced loyal ty they continue to imperil the success of their works by the employment of these in- competent scribes. In many cases it is no doubt tine publisher who is responsible for this blunder; and if the motive be one of economy we believe it to be mistaken one, Imagine what an advertisement MT. Brown ing's name would be on the cover, say of Dvorak's "Spectre's Bride" to say nothing of the delight afforded to singers and hearers by the substitution of real poem for so many lengths of fiat and exasperating dog

THE UNIONS AND THE KNIGHTS.
 The representatives of the trad es unions who are attending the labor convention in Cleveland seem to have a very clear idea of what they want, and are not backward in making their wants known. Indeed they are dealing with the representatives of the Knights of Labor very much as they deal with employers of labor. They 'demand' athat the use of the white label of the Knights of Labor be restricted to the use for which it was originally intended: that is, to cooper ative concerns started by members of the or der, and that it shall not be given indiscrim- inately to manufacturers. They also de- mand that the Knights of Labor shall not take into the order and make "fair'' men members of the trades unions who have for good cause been expelled dropped from their organizations, who have taken the places of men on strike, or who would not for good reasons be admitted to membership in trades unions.
 Looked at from the standpoint of the trades unions these demands are not only justifa- ble, but necessary. Each trade union con- anss it's membership to men of it's partieu- lAr CT6ID, anu s0VOrAl OI tu6 uA1ouS prOulDIt their members from joining any other labor organization. They are nearly all composed of skilled workmen. The Knights of Labor, on the other hand, set no such limits to mena- bership. They include members of all crafts and of no craft, skilled and unskilled work men alike, whether they are members of other organizations or not. They have not been particular to inquire if an applicant for admission was good union man, and in not a few instances have made trouble for the unions by taking in men who were very ob noxious to union men. It really appears i'm portant to unions of skilled workmen that they should run their business without inter ference from the Knights, who have shown disposition to ignore in many cases the rules and prejudices of unions.
 It now looks as if the trades unions would have reason to be pleased with the proceed ings at Cleveland, and that their demands" would be granted. If the unions get all they want the authority of the Knights will be much restricted, and will be in large meas ure confined to the unskilled laborers who belong to the order. The unions cannot af- ford to be swallowed up by the Knights, and they have no idea of letting them run their affairs. The Knights have been useful in helping unions conduct strikes and boycotts. It will be interesting to see to what extent the unions can continue to use them.

 Many people who wonder why their care- fully written articles are not accepted by the editors of magazines will be interested in George William Curtis statement of the sit uation. He notes that there are hardly dozen miscellaneous magazines in this country which pay living remuneration for contributions; that each of their usually twelve issues contains but about sixteen articles, exclusive of what is furnished by editorial writers; that this makes total of 2,314 year. "the limit of the demand" that the supply is F'not less than 15,000 or 20,000." Again: "The contents of each number of the magazine must be determined long before the month of it's issue. What follows! That at every moment the maga- zine has large accumulation of papers ac- cepted and paid for. This fact determines the acceptance of papers equally good or even better, so that the words not available are strictly descriptive of the situation" Mir. Curtis assures young authors of talent that their lack of success is due to the exact ing conditions of this competition and not to favoritism.

BIue&frd vs. Wren.

John Burroughs in June Centuryl
 Tho bluebirds early took possession, and in Juno their first brood had flown The wrens had been hanging around, evidently with an eye on the place (such little come lies may be witnessed anywhers), and now very naturally thought it was their turn. A day or two after the young bluebirds had hown I noticed some fine, dry grass cling ing to the entrance to the cavity; circum- stance which I understood few moments later, when the wren rushed by me into the cover of small Norway spruce, hotly pur- sued by the male bluebird. It was brown streak and blue streak pretty close togeth- er The vrens had gone house-cleaning, and the bluebird had returned to find his bed and bedding being pitched out of doors, and had thereupon given the wrens to understand in the most emphatic manner that he had no intention of vacating the premises 50 early in the season. Day after day, for more than two weeks, the male bluebird had to clear his premises of these iItruders. It occupied much of his time and not a little of mine, as I sat with a book in a summer-house near by, laughing at his pretty fury and spiteful onset. On two occasions the wren rushed under the chair in which I sat. and streak of blue lightning almost flashed in my very face. One day, just as l had passed the tree in which the cavity was placed, l heard the wren scream desperately; turn ing, I saw the little vagabond fall into the grass with the wrathful bluebird fair ly upon him; the latter had returned just in time to catch him, and was evidently bent on punishing him well. But in the souabble in tho grass, the wren escaped and took refuge in the friendly evergreen. The bluebird paused for moment with out stretched wings looking for the fugitive, then flow away. A score of times during the month of June did I see the wren taxing every energy to get away from the bluebird. He would dart into the stone wall, under the floor of the summer-house, into the weeds-anywhere to ride his diminished head. The bluebi1d with his bright coat looked like policeman in uniform in pursuit of wicked rusty little street gamin. Generally the faverite house of refuge of the wrens was the little spruce, into which the pursuer made no attempt to follow them. The fe- male would sit concealed amid the branches, chattering in scolding, fretful way, while the male, with his eye upon his tormsntor, would perch on the topmost shoot and sing. Why he sang at such times, whether in tri- umph and derision, or to keep his courage up and rsassure his mate, I could not make out. When his song was suddenly cat short and glanced to see him dart down into the spruce, my eye usually caught twinkle of blue wings lowering near. The wrens finally gave up the tight, and their enemies reared their second brood in peace

A Fearful Fall.

ffOIl In6 0redG bSno IlcpciLoI.J
 We will wager a wink that Master Charley Colsten is the pluckiest boy in this county. On Monday last, while attempting to pass over high scaffolding on the Dubois home stead, he lost his grip and fell distance of forty feet, striking first on his feet somewhat slanting on a terrace, and then plunging shoulder first down into the garden below. It was 8 terrible fall and his escape from in stant death was a wonder. He was picked up by Charles Williams and Peter Osterhout and tenderly taken into the house, where he was soon visited by Dr. Lamb, who found that the unfortunate lad had sustained only a fracture of the wrist and was somewhat bruised otherwise.
 Through all his suffering he showed the grit of little hero, for not one murmur passed his lips. Some time ago it is said that man fell from the pinnacle of the highest church steeple in Binghamton and broke both of his legs and one arm. He lived and as soon as he was sufficiently re covered he went up the steeple to finish the cross at the apex, and to demo onstrate that the fall had not made him fearful, he delibe- rately stood on his head on the cross and cracked his heels together. But he groaned like a hippopotsmus when his limbs were set, but Charley during his ordeal did not vince. We like the latter heroism best.

Ryan, sis rather novel, but it is just
the way I would like to try myself in
