Up to Saturday seventy-five hundred of
the places left vacantby the Chicago strikers
had been filed by new men who had been
promised permanent employment, and as
men are applying for situations at the rate
OF 200 or 800 day, unless the strike is soon
terminated, all the old employees will be out
of a job There has been no more foolish
strike for long while than this one. There
was no adequate cause for it, and the time of
year-just as cold weather is at hand, when
unemployed men are exceedingly anxious to
get employment-was exceedingly lnoppor-
tune to begin movement of this kind. The
workmen have had very bad advisers, and it
won'tbe long before they find it out, if they
have not already, and curse them roundly
fer their counsel.

The result is somewhat confusing. The Ar

The Emigration Commissioner at New
York was surprised the other day Nine
Bosnian gypsies, with a performing donkey
and three bears, came in on Spanish steam
er. Thinking them little better than pau
pers, and wishing to spare the country the
infection, he told them they could not land
unless they showed some money. Thereup-
on they produced large bag filed with nick
els and silver, which the astonished commits
sioner estimated at about $4,000. This Incl
dent suggests that they are likely to be more
costly to this country than would an equal
number of paupers.

The French Canadian National Club of
Biddeford announce the purposes of their
organization. There arc, they say, over
100000 French Canadians in the United
States; they find that "they can live better
here, have more comfortable homes and enjoy
more luxuries than they could ever expect by
returning to their native lald;" and, in
short, they are ''here to stay" and to take
their' place in society as part of American
society. 1.-THE object of the Club National is
to improve the French people of Biddeford
morally, Intellectually and socially, and
above all TO do its part in making them like
other useful American citizens.

A Washington despatch says that the war
department is gradually abandoning the
smaller forts, like Fort Halleck, Nevada,
and Fort Abraham Lincoln, in Dakota, and
intends to concentrate the troops at the
more important strategic points Fort Smell
ling, Minnesota, is said to be one of the
points, and it is expected that at least two
regiments will be concentrated there next
spring. Army officers are represented as
saying that the Northwestern Canadian from
tier is our weakest point, and that this fort
should be garrisoned and strengthened, as
precaution against possible troubles with
England.
Now If this administration is preparing for
war with England there is one strategic
point in Maine that should be improved.

Shackers would make it hot for invaders
over on the other side; but Fort Kent should

The Laughing-Gas "Fad."

The bellies of New York are quick to grab right hold of new ideas that are frivolous, and it is pity that their in- clination in that respect cannot be di- verted into higher and broader chan nels. went yesterday to have tooth pulled. New York has several places exclusively for that jerky sort of sur .gery, wherein no other dentistry is prac- ticed, and where great quantities of laughing-gas are used. The accustomed patient sits placidly down in the chair, breaths out of the bag, goes to sleep, and awakens in minute or so to find that his tooth is gone. He has suffered neither dread nor gain. But the novices do not divest themselves of the fright of anticipation, and the waiting-room is therefore full of wobegone faces and trembling limbs, and the voice of per suasion is constantly raised. This time, however, I saw bevy of fashionably- dressed girls, not one of whom showed symptoms of aching teeth or palpitating terror. "Now, ladies'" said one of the operators, 'please step this way" They went into the sanctum, but were not so perfectly secluded that I could not see what was done to them. Each in turn took a blithesome seat in the chair, breathed the gas, fell back insensible, speedily aroused herself, and gave place to another subject Then they paid 50 cents apiece and departed, laughing and chattering.
 ''They take the gas for exhileration, said the doctor, when I asked for an explanation. "It is usually cure for headache, it vivifes a jaded brain. and it has suddenly become a stylish thing to take. After late night at recep- ton, or any other cause of lassitude, the bellies visit us in parties like the one you've seen, and take light doses of laughing-gas. That .is the latest swell fad, you know"

Concerning Names.

The fact is, scarcely any nuisance is greater nuisance than that pertaining to ill-assorted names. Why, for in. stance, with our beautiful and musical Indian nomenclature, should we have our Syracuse, Memphis, Thebes, Toledo, St. Louis, San Francisco. Cairo, Baby. lon, Jerusalemp What an uneuphoni. ous, ill-assorted name is New York when we can have Manhattan for the taking! Why should racing mares be named Miss Woodford and Flora Tenn ple?-or an Indian Hole-in-the-Wall, Man-Afraid-of-His-Horse, etc.? Why should harmony composed for reli- gious hymn be named Federal street and another Bowdoin square? Why should two of our gunboats be called Terror and VixenP Why should so many names of hamlets, villages, towns and cities be repeated in thirty-eight states and seven territories, and give rise to innumerable Washingtons, Jack sonvilles, Jetfersons. Adamses, and so Christian at Work.
