A FAMILIAR FIGURE GONE.
PitiIuI Death Of Mary Parretti, the
Apple Vender.

Steamboat men and Shipping clerks
and others having business on the
levee cannot have failed to notice
dark eyed, coarse featured Italian
woman who frquented the lower
decks OF the steamboats, Offering for
sale apples, oranges ard bananas aud
other reasonable fruiP, and who WAS
known as Mary. The boys on the
river used to amuse themselves by
chatting her go9d naturally, hut che
was quick at repartee, and promptly
returned Roland for an Oliver. For.
the past two days she has teen absent
from her usual haunts, and much
speculation existed among the other
women Of her class rs TO her where
abouts. Last night Justice Barry was
summoned to hold an inquest In a
lonely, squalid and barely furnished
room at 2l0 Front street, and there
lay the mortal remains OF Mary Par
retti, the apple vender above de-
scribed. "Died from want OF atteu-
ton and excessive drinking" was the
verdict OF the coroner's Jury.

THE BOYCOTT.

Some OF the hlrellng press are en-
deayorng to make the people believe
that the boycott is accomplishing
Nottingham it can result only in
disaster. They misrepresent the
great work which is being done by
the committee. and industriously
labor to bring the whole movement
into contempt. The fact is, they
are paid for doing this by the moneyed
monopolies, who, for the sake of
gain, have ever been in favor of slave
rs against free labor. The boycott
will peaceably solve the Chinese
question:; but should it fail-which
it will not if the people are sincere
we fear it would be impossible to
control men desperate and hungry,
and that the bloodiest massacres
would follow. 1t is the duty of every
good citizen, therefore, to support
the boycott-to withdraw all patron
age from Chinese and those who en-
pIoy them-to give employment to
their own flesh and blood, to our
men and women, and the generation
OF men and women soon to be, that
our far State may be dotted with
happy homes and the sun rise for II
contented people. From all parts of
the State the committee is receiving
encouragement, Leagues are organ
lzcd everywhere. Thousands Of
Cinnamon have been displaced by
white men. The city is overrun
with idle coolies, who have come
from the interior. Send them all,
and we'll drive them back to China
not by force, but by means Of the
boycott; their occupation will be
gone. San francisco star.

New HAVEN, MAY %, 1856.
THE BOYCOTT INVINClBLE,

The capitalist papers continue to
CeXhibit great solicltudc in reference
to the boycott; evidently hoping that
the courts or the legislatures will
step in and make decisions or laws
to prohibit it. Vain solictudc and
vain hope.
From the very nature Of the boycott
it cannot be eNtermimatcd when the
people are determined to use it; nor
can any law prevent the news Of u
boycott from spreading among those
who respect the wishes of the work
ers in their battle for better life.
While the authorities in New York
have attacked the boycott by arrest
ing few bakers and musicians,
mostly Germans, who were carrying
out the great American idea, not
word is said against the BOYcoiter, u
weekly journal owned and controlled
by the New York Typographical
Union: Why don't the miserable
hlfellngs Of capital attack the repre-
sentative boycotter? They dare not.
They would be sure to lose their case
in court, just AS surel y Us the Courier
will It's case when it comes before an
intelligent court. The fact is,
these New York people want to rouse
national prciudiccs by publishing
that the men arrested were "uIl for
elgners. As to the arrest of our
local walking delegate, the authori-
ties caught u live Yankee, and
couldn't hold him very fast, either.
But, whether corrupt Judiciary
condemns or an honest Judge and
jury acquit the walking delegates Of
the Typographical Union, the boy
colt will 60 on, perhaps not quite 50
publicly, but still rirectually, until
It's mission is accomplished, Some
folks may as wei, bear this in mind.

This is an interesting study from life
The benevolent middle class man. His

UNION OFFICERS CONFER
ENCE.

At this writing, if the capitalist
press may be believed. there are II
number of officers of various nation
al and international trades unions
holding conference ancnt the posi-
ton of the Order of Knights of La
Dor in the labor movement.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
proceedings are kept secret, the
horde of reporters for the capitalist
press has sufficient inventive powers
to make up story of the transac-
tons.
The delegates to this convention
have not been elected for this pur-
pose by their constituents but are
mainly the salaried officers of the va
rious organizations which they claim
to represent. 1t is doubtful that
the international UNIONS would all
have elected delegates to such con-
yention in view of the expense and
rather problematlcal utility of it;
and it is still mere doubtful. had
the organizations elected delegates,
tFpt they would have sent their gen
)eral secretaries, presidents, etc, to
represent them. The Typographical
Union, at least, sent others to rep
