a furious runaway at MONDAY is
not an agreeable thing to either the
occ pant of the vel Gle or spectators,
but in the murky darkness OF midnight
it becomes good deal more serious
affair. Ellis Bigelow was going home
last "Wednesday about hali-past IL
O'Clock, p. NJ, i'll the family carriage,
and when near the Methodist church
the horses became unmanageable from
fright and started into fearful run.
The young man was thrown out in
front Of Mr.. Barnes premises when
the crazy animals had it all their own
way and went tearing across Eastside
bridge and then up Fourth street to
the imminent danger of whoever or
whatever might have been in their
way. When passing the residence of
Mrs. L. NJ. Clark, they came in con-
tact with stout hitching post which
caused separation between horses
and carriage. A portion of one har-
ness was left hanging to the hitching
post and the vehicle was pretty badly
smashed. The unfortunate occupant
Of the carriage was found by Mr. Good
night and Ed Toclncr and carried to
his home in an insensihle condition.
The horses were captured near Mark
Jones' place by Mr.. Harmon Cassidav,
and properly cared for till morning
One of the animals was badly injured
in the breast. Ellis Bigelow did not
come out of his stupor till yesterday
morning and is yet unable to talk
much about the mishap. He is seri-
ously bruised about the head and face
and his jaw bone was thought to be
broken or dislocated. 1t will be some
time before he RECEIVERS from his in
juries.

In his recent speech in New York
G. NJ. w. Powderly spoke thus: q" You
say the Knights of Labor do not med.
die in politics. We are not in the hab-
it of standing in a rum-hole door ask
ing for votes, or for voting for this OF
that man because he is a good fellow
But in the sense of demading good
government by good men, irrespective
of party, you may count on the Knights
of Labor being in politics first, last and
all the time. We mean to mark states
men. That one who thinks vested
rights of property stand above the nat
ural rights of man must go. There
are other who fail to come up to the
demands of advanced craftsmanship,
and they will feel that We are Ameri-
can citizens, and that while we are not
party men We are politicians in the
new sense of that word"

The Strikes.

Our readers are already as we'll
posted in the history of the great
railroad strike as we, and we shall
not therefore GO into details of facts
and contentious between the parties.
1t is enough for the purposes of
those desiring to reach a fair con-
clusion IN the matter TO know that
no question of wages was involved
in the motive of the strike. 1t was
purely on what might be called
technical" issues. The chief OF
these was the discharge of a fore
man by q master mechanic. The
latter said the discharge was order
ed because, %. the foreman was
inefficient and, (2), because he oh
tanned leave Of absence from his
shop for four hours and did not re-
turn until the end of four days. The
boss OF the strike, Martin Irons,
contends that the man was dis
charged simply because he attend
ed a convention of the Knights Of
Labor. Whichever has the right OF
the contention 1t is a most trivial
circumstance to plead in justifica-
tion of ordering cut of employment
nearly $4,000 workmen aad stop
ping the operation of more than
1000 miles of railroad for severa.
weeks. The strike on the Missouri
Pacific was merely cOntributory to
that Of the Texas d Paci6c, was not
brought on by any grievance direct
" personal to the strikers!
OF course it was clear from the
first that the operatives ''had the
hot end Of the poker" No such
pretense as they set up will support
a vast movement affecting several
millions of people and involving
losses reaching into millions of
money.
We had feared this outcome when
the rapid and enthusiastic growth
of the knights of Labor was in pro-
gress. The order has become over
grown with unwise and dangerous
materials in many places. While
the founder aud his chief associates
are wise and prudent, they have
clearly lost control of the organiza-
ton. Mr.. Powderiy condemned the
railroad strike We here mention, as
without justification in its incep-
ton or excuse for its continuance.
He added that 1.-The day of strikes
had passed" All OF which had as
much effect on the strikers and their
unreasoniug, passionate leaders, as
Mrs. Partingtop's boom had on the
lnrushlng tide of the Atlantic, driv-
en- by hurricane.
There can be but one finale for
an organization the masses of rea-
sorahle citizens hold responsible for
such destructive foly-disintegra-
tion and bodily disappearance, as an
economic force.
We give this judgement regret
fully, as we INDUCED the hope, in
common with many intelligent
friends OF the workers, that form
and scheme of organization had
been found by and for them, that
would secure them justice without
perpetuating the expensive, ruinous
strike as a remedy.-The Trades
man.

Sweet Corn for Fodder,

The stalks OF sweet corn contain
q considerable larger quantity of
nutrimenL, and are more PaIatable
to COWS and other animals, than
those OF common corn. For this
reason, sweet corn is preferable for
sOiling cows, or for dried fodder.
The large varieties, or Mammoth,
yield quite as great a weight per
acre AS the common field corn, and
the only difference tO,weigh against
it for dried fodder, is that It's sweet
gummy character makes it some
what difficult to cure. But with a
little care and good management,
there need be no difficulty. We
have grown sweet corn for sOilIHg
and tor winter feeding for some
years, and consider it q most val
liable crop; indeed, one that is in
dispensable to success dairying of
all kinds. By planting the small
varieties in May, and In succession
weekly for q month, there will be
plenty of feeding in six or seven
weeks after the planting, until lat
err and larger kinds come in =
month after, and the successive
planting Of these fall in until frost
comes. We. have had fresh green
sweet corn up to the middle Of No
vember one year, before it was nee
essAry to cut it for curing.-Aner-
lean Agricultural.

The Oontrariness of Things.

Mrs. E. A. Walker deserves the
credit of exposing the general con
trariness of many things in heI
charming paper entitled. The To
tai Depravity of Inanimate Things.
But there are some unhappy ex re-
riences brought almost every day
by objects which are iuaninate
though seemingly anything but in
animate, which she has failed to
mention. For instance, says R. X.
Munkittrick, in Purk:
Your new shoes will pinch you
with might and main, as though IN
retaliation for come wrong done
them. They will unite themselves
when you are in q hurry; they will
break their buttons of, run over at
the heels to throw you, and final
ly split open at time when you
don't feel, That you can ford to buy
another pair. And one will wear
completely out while ths other is q
good one.
Your scarf will not stay the way
you want it; it will work around
until the pin is directly under your
ear. Five minutes after you have
fixed tilt will be as much out of po-
sitioR as ever. If you pat the pin
under your ear inten tlOnally, it
would probably work around to the
back of your neck.
Although it is said TO be extreme
" uncomfortable to stand on ones
head, it is a matter OF fact that a
tack will stand on it's head on the
floor all day to catch you as you
walk across the room.
The last matchsyOu have in your
pocket is sure TO 60 out when you
light it out doors to start cigar.

Vaccination for Oonsumntion.

The chief disease of temperate
climates being consumption, any
means which will check it's ravages
must be hailed with joy and graft
tude by large part of the human
race. In France is now projecte d
an experimental inquiry into the
possibility of finding some method
of alternating the supposed virus OF
consumption so as to make iHocula-
ton Herewith practically useful
against the disease, either as a pre-
ventive measure, like vaccination
against smallpox, or as a means of
cure, like Pasteur's incubation in
hydrephobia. Although the chan
ces of success are remote, the inves-
tigation is approved by eminent
scientific men and a considerable
sum has been subscribed toward de
fraying the expenses.

DR.. Lapatin, in the proceedings
of the Caucasian Medical Society
advises, that fingers and toes which
have been slightly frost-bitten and
which subsequently suffer from
burning, itching and pricking SEN
sations, should be painted. at first
once, and afterwards twice day
with mixture of dilute niric acid
and peppermint water in equal
proportions. After this applica-
ton has been made three or four
days, the skin becomes darkened
and the epidermus is shed, healthy
skin appearing und er it. The cure
is effected IN FROM ten to fourteen
days. The author has found this
plan very efectual among soldiers,
who were unable TO wear their boots
in consequence of having had fro
zen feet. They were in this way
soon rendered Capable OF returning

He had not gone far when the har-
