bright and shining example of the present reform
Government These facts most interesting 10 STU

somewhat beside the present question. MackiTs
lawyers have been trying to get hm out OF jail, on
the ground that at the time he was convicted by
the state he was under indictment in the Federal
Court. and therefore in its custody. The court,
however has been unable to sec that Mackin was
any less guilty on this account, and has decided
that he must serve his sentence. Oberly Is not
under Indictment. but spends his time in drawing
I'D rules for the better administration OF the reform
law in this era of purity.

WORTH THINKING OF.

Some of the queer features of the labor movement are we'll set forth by the New York Evening Post, paper which has been fearless and forcible in it's discussion of the questions which have been so prominent
 this year. The Post points out that it is worthy of note that the past year has not
 been one of physical distress among wage workers, nor of extended or general loss of employment, nor of exceptionally low wages. The wage-workers and Socialists themselves
 ill their meetings do not attribute their agi- tation and strikes to their reduced wages and long hours, but to their great and sudden in- crease of late in economic intelligence. ''They say that their class have worked heretofore at the dictstion of employers because they thought they were obliged to, but lately they have discovered the means whereby labor can dictate to capital, and make it crouch and turn pale. It is in this experiment. of making capital crouch and turn pale that strikes are frequently inaugurated." The Post continues: At the center and core of every such strike can be found not physical distress, not starving babies, nor evicted ten ants nor public soup houses to feed the famish- ing able-bodied men lying on their bellies to "wear out their hunger" not processions of the unemployed, as was seen in Ireland in the famine of 1846 and in New York city after the panic of 1857, bat only comfortably dressed and well fed people, with plenty of beer, fully employed, many of them with deposits in savings banks, children at school, reading weekly three or four Socialist newspapers, and ranging themselves under the lead of some prophet of the new dispen- sation of Martin Irons, who by what is called the Organization of labor" is enabled to or der out of work into idleness and out of comfort into starvation 5000 men whom he never paid dollar of wages, who did not claim to have grievance, but on whose be- half the fool Irons, saturated with the un- social craze of socialism, wanted to bring on a supposed great social revolution.
 This is fair and striking statement of the case. The Post is justified in calling it "a period of mental craze like that which would in earlier times have attended the general belief that the philosophers stone, which would transmute all the baser metals into gold hy its mere touch, was about to be discovered; or that the new Jerusalem, with gates of pearl and golden streets, was about to be let down from heaven by it's four cor ners'

At Lunch With a Lion-Tamer.
 From the Philadelphia Times

A fortnight back called on Bidel to see how he was getting along. He is famous 1ion-tamer, whose exhibitions with wild
 beasts at the fairs around Paris are quite worthy of the reputation they enjoy. Just before I called tough old lion named Sul- tan tried to make a meal of Bidel, and that was why wanted to see how he was getting on. have frequently seen him standing in the midst of his lions, tigers, bears and pan thers, forcing them to obey him as abjectly as though they were trained dogs, to leap and gambol around him like pugs and span iels, and have always had a secret hope to be present when he should be devoured by one of his precious pets. I missed seeing Sultan go for the old man and so called to feast upon his gaping wounds. Bidel repaid my awful act by asking me if 4 would 95,ld like ike zon, tsNot Pezon, your rivals daughters" I asked. But she was though. and as Miss Marie was to marry her cousin Alexander,
 another lion tanner, why of course I said I would like nothing better. When we got

Again The Sparrow.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 have read with peculiar indignation the article in yesterdays COURIER in relation to the English sparrow. As the writer seems to be incredulous in regard to it's destructive habits allow me to speak what I know and testify what have seen. In my garden its destructive habit is confined to the grape, by which lose not less than bushel annually of the choicest kinds. I never see them in the vines until about the twentieth of Sep tember-then they will commence their de- predations They work silently and very rapidly. Being hidden from ordinary obser- vation under the leaves of the vine is the reason why so few people ever see them in the very act of destruction. I have known a flock of sparrows to ruin a half bushel of grapes in less than ten minutes. They do not eat the grape, but each bird se- lects 8 bunch and punctures a hole in a grape with it's sharp bill, sips few drops, then passing quickly to the wet grape does the same. The next day the grapes will shrivel and dry up and the birds will go for fresh .ones, slipping only the juice. They will not touch grape that is in the least unripe, but prefer the ripest and sweetest varieties All this I have seen. I hear of others on the same street who have lost several bushels the same way. l admit with the writer the impropriety of calling bird thief. 'It surely has a God given right to supply itself," equally with the rat, mouse. locust and cankerworm. Man has also God-given right to exterminate them when they prey upon him. The writer says there are now no canker worms. have shade tree in front infected with some this spring, but no sparrow was seen to touch them although l watched them closely. we'll remember when the Green was infested with canker worms, how the people were alarmed about the trees and how the authorities put forth all their eff
 forts. This they did by putting large lead troughs around the trees, some of them hold
 ing half gallon of oil. It was quite sight to stand near the trees on the corner of Chapel and Church and see the worms fill up the trough and their fellow worms pass safely over them. By the hearty eo-opera- tiou of the citizens and the authorities in a few years the canker worm was exterminated fer half century at least, and this was long before the sparrow was introduced. In con clusion, do not think it right to spend money in multiplying these birds to the de- struction of my neighbors' fruit. B.
