STRIKES AND THEIR COS i.
what the Census Bureau Statistics show
for the Year 1880.

tDA 1GlNElHILl-l
WASHINGTON, April 24th-The advance
sheets of the report of Joseph D. Weeks,
expert and snecial agent of the Census Blu
reau, upon the strikes and lockouts occur
ring within the United States during the
calendar year 1880, have been received by
the Interior Department. The records
show, he says, that many strikes and lock
outs stll grow cut of the most trivial
causes. 1t is also true especially i'll locAli-
ties where large bodies Of workmen are
gathered, that there will also be found men
who 90 frequently, from sinister and mer-
cenary motives, create dissension and en-
deavor to inaugurate strikes, and when
strikes are in progress their duration is
liable to be prolonged by the efforts of such
persons. Yet the tendency. as stated, is
toward less frequent strikes and lockouts
The number of strikes in certain prominent
trades as given in the report is as follows ::
Iron and steel industries, 236 coal mining
l5S; textile trades, 46; cigarmakers ~ !;
building trades, So; transportation, Sc ;
printing trades. Is; glass industries, q !;
piano-making, II boot and shoe-making,
IL. Much the greater proportion ca Der
cent? of the strikes and lockouts reported
upon we're caused by difficulties as TO rates
of wages. a total of 503, or about Sc per
cent. OF those relating to rates of wages, or
u per Ctll. Vi all, were LOT an advance, ana
II, or IA per cent. of those relating to rates
OF wages, or 81 per cent. of all, were against
reduction. The strikes growing out of
demands for an advance are much more
uniformly successful. than those against a
reduction.
From Ala of the 762 strikes full reports
were received, showing the number of men
idle in such cases TO have been 12S, 262
making an average of about 80 men to
each strike. The report concludes: q" As
to the wages lost, it appears that 6i,779 en-
ployes lost S3,711 ,079. This would be at
the rate of s57 each. As the entire number
of employees estimated was DDS, 1873 the total
loss of wages would be 1908, S6G which
would have been received had the works
run constantly. OF course there would be
number of offsets to this. In case the
strikes were successful additional wages
would compensate for portion of this loss.
In other cases where unionism existed in
the trades in which there were strikes, the
men received strike pay or strike benefits,
but strike benefits were, in most cases,
simply refunding the money that had been
previously paid. Then, iii many cases,
parties on strike secured employment i'll
other industries, and hence their actual
loss would be what wages they would have
earned at their old labor minus what they
did earn in presumably less profitable
EMPLOYMENT"

THE PRESIDENTS FIANCEE.
"Reminiscences of One OF Miss Folsom's
English Ancestors.

by Telegraph
WASHINGTON, April 24th-A private let
, ter received in this city from a. G. Curtis,
OF Stratford, Conn, contains an interesting
Renaissance of Lady Sterling, one of the
| ancestors of Miss Folsom, whom ii is said
the President will marry
" A few years prior to the Revolutionary
War" writes Mr. Curtis, Lord Sterling.
an English nobleman, while iourneying
from New York to Boston, stopped few
days IN Stratford, where he became enam-
| ored OF beautiful girl, Miss Folsom by
name. whose father was the village black
smith. Upon his return from Boston. few
| weeks later, the two were married. Shortly
after this Lord Sterling sailed for Europe to
apprise his family of his marriage and to
make preparations for removing his wife
| thlther. AS the story goes, Miss Folsom S
| family regarded Lord Sterling as an ad-
yentureT, and the village beauty married
INN against their wishes. When a year
passed and no tidings reached America OF
the absent Lord, the tongues of the village
| gosslps We're ioosened, and between the up
braldlng OF her parents and the gbes of
| the townspeople the young wife's life be-
| came burden to her One day a liveried
| servant put i'll an appearance at Stratford.
| He announced himself as the messenger of
Lord Sterling, and said a ship, then lying
| IN New York harbor, was waiting to con-
| yey her ladvship to England. She was
| told by all the busy-bodies in Stratford that
she would not be received in England as
Lord Sterling's wife, but she went, never
theless. Lord Sterlings family gave the
young woman cordial greeting and she
speedily became a general favorite. The
marriage proved an unusually happy one.
Some of the descendants of the Folsom
family still reside in Stratford, and it is
from this stock the Presidents fiancee has
sprung. Upon the site of the old "smithy''
now stands the mansion erected in old
