The Cincinnati Enquirer says: New
Orleans to the Northern bred man is a
city with its strongly contrasted popu-
lation, and not the least interesting
place there is the Health Office, where
is kept an accurate record of births and
deaths. From there also all marriage
licenses are issued, and the men behind

Finally. from some source or another,
the old man learned that his marriages
were not legal without the record and

Then with much evident mental per

and to express his desire and design to
right the wrong.

He Finds the Team First Now.

There used to be, and possibly still is,
a Canvasser on leading paper who was
more widely known in South Georgia
than any other man connected with the
business. One day the Colonel was
caught out at Mudville, Is miles from
the nearest railroad station. He had
come there with friend, but the latter
had gone off and left him. But he was
full of resources, and so he sidled up to
a lawyer whom he knew and said:
"Col. Smith, have you any one with
you going homc2" "No; l am by my
self" ''Well, l would like very much
to go; have only this little grip" "All
right, sir; will be glad to have your
company" "Thank you, sir. Come
around and let's have toddy." Around
they went, had their toddy, and then
the newspaper man called for dinner
for two, and the lawyer did full justice
to his share. They then had cigar at
the newspaper mans expense and an
other toddy thrown in. After they
finished their smoke the lawyer said,
"Well, Colonel, it is Just about as cool
as 1t is going to get; suppose we go"
I'm ready, sir; where's your team?"
''Team2 have no team. l anu going
to walk. 1t isn't far; just nice little
stroll" To have seen the newspaper
mans face at that startling announce
ment would have been worth a months
wages. But he walked it all the same,
and afterward he always found the team
first and then hunted up the man"

A Remarkable Case of BoycO, ing.

A Washington letter says: When the
season first opened here there was a
great promise of building. Never in
the history of Washington have so many
-Ul2 - -, '~1a g. +i'a ~onet nctinn OF
J new houses. Up to the present time
there is no building begun of any i'm
portance. The reason of this delay is
the decision of the labor organizations
here that eight hours shall constitute a
days work. The builders are waiting
to see if some sort of compromise cannot
be arranged, as such a schedule of hours
for days work will add fully twenty
per cent. to the cost of building. If this
rule is adhered to not over one-half Of
the houses that were planned for this
year will be built Some of the con-
tractors hope to get around the vexed
question by hiring men to work for
them by the hour. One of the most re-
markable exhibitions of the authority
and power of labor organizations was
shown in Washington last week. Last
fall Mr.. Warder, manufacturer OF
agricultural implements at Springfield,
O., came here to live. He has made
large fortune in his business, and in
tends in the future to make Washington
his home. He occupied last winter eX-
Senator WINDOWS house, the same
house which was occupied by the Blaine
family last year. During the winter he
bought him large lot in the vicinity of
Sixteenth, on E street. He intended to
build house which would cost at least
100000. HIS plans were all made and
the work was begun several days ago.
Now the work is stopped and he cannot
get single workman to lay brick
upon his house. 1t appears that when
he was a manufacturer in Springfield he
became engaged in conflict with the
Knights of Labor. He was boycotted
and the boycott has never been raised.
Last week the Washington Knights OF
Labor received word from Springfield,
O., concerning Mr.. Warder, and upon
receipt of that information issued orders
to all the workmen in the District
directing them not to work for him.
The result is that he cannot employ
single bricklayer. AS he is a very de-
termined and wealthy man he will GER
tainly succeed in building his house,
but it will be in the face of the greatest
difficulty. Mr. Warder is a man en-
gagged in business and went to Washing
ton for the purpose of investing his
property He thinks well of real estate
IN the city and would probably build
number of houses. He pays the wages
demanded by the labor organizations
and has sought in no way to employ
non-union men. His work would en-
ploy large number of men during the
season. Yet because of the quarrel had
by him with the labor organizations in
the past all members of the labor organ
izations are forbidden to work for him
at any price.

THE KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
When the Order was Organlzed-WhO
are Eligible to Membership.

The organization known as the
Knights of Labor was organized on
| Thanksgiving Day, 1869, in Philadel
phia, by Uriah S. Stevens, garment
cutter, who had six other garment cut
tiers associated with him. They formed
what was afterwards known as Local
| Assembly No. 1, of the knights of
Labor. The Order was conrned to gar
ment cutters, but eventually other
branches of industry were organized
under the shield of the Order
The organization grew slowly until
January 1, 1873. 1t was all that time
without q recognized head. Through
the efforts of few energetic members
General Convention was held in Read
ing, Penn, on January 1, 1878, when
the General Assembly was formed, with
Mr.. Stevens as Grand Master Workman
and Charles H Litchman, of Marble
head, Mass, as Grand Secretary.
There were about 1900 branches of
the Order formed up to that time. They
worked secretly until January /, 1882,
when the existence of the Order was
publicly proclaimed.
Since that time the growth of the
Knights of LABOR has been wonderful
and enormous. So great has been the
increase that the chief officers have dc
cided not to allow any more
branches to be started until April IS.
To gain admission, q person must be
engaged in some honorable branch of
industry. Both sexes are admitted to
membership. As a rule it is useless to
apply for admission, because it is rule
of the Order to select members. Thus
person may be proposed and rejected
without ever knowing it. Men are
usually proposed by friends who judge
them worthy of fellowship.
Business men can join. In an Assem-
bly, one hundred strong, seventy five
members must be employees
Meetings as rule are held weekly,
but some Assemblies do not meet so
often.
The Order is not oath bound. Each
member takes solemn pledge, and if
he violates it he is expelled and black
balled all over the country. Violation
of the rules renders a member liable to
a suspension ranging from one to five
years.
There are two kinds of Assemblies
trade and mixed assemblies. A trade
Assembly is composed of men engaged
at one special branch of industry. A
mixed Assembly is composed of me
chanicS, laborers, professional men and
SO on.
Local Assemblies are governed by
District Assembly, which may include
five or five hundred Local Assemblies.
The District Assembly is in turn gov
erned by the General Assembly.
The Order is benevolent, protective
and educational. The expenses of mem
bers are very light A man may admit
that he is a member, but he is not al
lowed to give the name of other mem
bers without their consent.

THE PEA CEFUZ LIFE.

The working life is the life of peace,
The words Of the wise are golden;
And down the line of three hundred years
Comes the truth of these words growI
olden.
Not the days that are passed amid song ant
flowers
In dreamy, inactive leisure,
But the days that are strong with the stress oi
Are those of the truest pleasure.
The eyes that look straight toward God and
heaven,
Nor turn from the path of duty,
Are the eyes that see, in this changeful world
The sights of the truest beauty.
Who lives for earth and for self alone
Must find his enjoyments shallow,
While he who lives but for God and right
Finds something each day to hallow.
He who is bound by the yoke of love,
Aad regains his freedom never,
Has his perfect liberty here on earth,
And he shall be free forever.
Oh, life is short, and its skies sometimes
Are darkened with care and sorrow,
But the .oyal-hearted, the brave of soul,
Has always glad tomorrow.
Then let US patiently bear the cross,
Our service and love confessing,
For the life of labor and faith and love
Is the only life of blessing.

Health seekers should make it point
TO get daily sun bath. We all under
stand the bad eject of the Withdrawal of
light from plants in winter But it is too
easily forgotten that through the dark
davs of winter the human body suffers
in the same way rs vegetation, and hence
needs the therapeutic agency of sunshine
in the spring to repair its wasted forces. A
writer in the last number of the AmerjcrR
Meteorological Magazine fOrciby state, the
connection between sunlight and health,
and quotes from Dr. Bells late work on
climatolOgy the following weighty sen
tence: "Free access of light favors nu-
triton and regularity of development,
and contributes to beautify the countc-
nance; while deficiency of light is usually
characterized by ugliness, rick,ts and
deformity, and is a fruitful source of
scrofula and consumptioninan any climate
This statement we may add, is cOrrobo-
rated by fact noticed by DIR. Hammond,
that "various experiments demonstrate
that the action of light is Of benefit in
many conditions, anpmia, chlorosis and
phthisis being among the number 1t
is probable that enc of the chief benefits
derived by invalils from winters so
iourn at Alpine or tropical re orts is due
TO the larger amount of sunlight enjoyed.
