Discussed.
The master mechanics local convention
TO be held shortly is being looked forward
to with much interest by the trades 1t
represents. All the mechanics associa-
tions have elected delegates to the conven-
tion except the Masters Plumbers Protec-
tive Association, which meets tonight for
that purpose. The object Of the conven-
tion is TO discuss the position TO be taken in
reference to the eight-hour movement. 1t
Is believed that determined stand to OPP
pose It will be taken by the convention.
Some Of the bosses are now work.
ing their men on the nine
hour system, and it is not improbable that
a compromise on nine hours as days
work may be ace epted. One master me-
Chanic stated last night that he worked his
men on the nine hour plan, and they
seemed satisfied. He would not, however,
return to the ten hour system, as he was
well enough satisfied with that under which
he was now working. lie would, however,
oppose the eight hour plan. "If," said he,

At the thirteenth annual convention of the
Maryland State Temperance Alliance, held in
Baltimore ON Tuesday, Mr. David II. Boulc, OF
Rockville, vice president Of the Montgomery
County Temperance Alliance, spoke of tho
working of local prohibition in that county.
After five years experience of II, he said the
financial prosperity and sobriety have wonder
fully increased. 1 examined the court records
and the number of criminal indictments,
which used TO average twenty to eighty year,
now averages only ten to twenty year. Our
Jail was never empty until May 1881; since
then II has been empty several times, once for
three months at u time, and to-day at noon the
last two prisoners were discharged, so that our
Jail is again empty. There are violations of the
local option law, of course, but there is no
county where the law is better administered.
We used to average 100 arrests year for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct Ia Rock.

A HISTORIAN bishop ss Washington.

A HISTORIAN bishop was one of the
lions on exhibition at Washington early
in President Tyler's administration.
Coming from a country of which we
knew little, and to a country to which
he and his countrymen were entire
stangers, ignorant of everything apper.
tanning to our laws, customs, religion,
and, in fine, even our name and lineage,
it was by no means strange that he
should excite deep and lively interest
amongst the intelligent and learned of
our land. He received much kindness
and attention, and several parties were
made on his account. He pleased all,
and seemed pleased and gratified with
the hospitality extended to him. His
appearance was entirely oriental, but he
well sustained the high and holy char
acter of the office which he filed.
The bishop was about five feet ten
inches high, well proportioned, and wore
his beard long, with curling moustache
on the upper lip. His head was covered
with turban composed of a cashmere
shawl wound gracefully round his head
over scarlet cap of conical shape,
with huge silk tassel falling over the
side. His outside garment was black
silk gown with large flowing sleeves, and
underneath, not visible in front, was to
be seen a silk dress of scarlet color, ex-
tending nearly as low as the bottom
of the outer dress. His complexion was
of dark olive, with jet black eyes, but
when in repose or animated affording
the most agreeable and benevolent ex-
preston. He exhibited an antique Bible
in the Armenian language, written be-
fore the art of printing was known, on
parchment, ind read and translated out
of the same. 1t was a beautiful speci-
men of chirography, and illustrated with
marginal notes in red ink. He gave
illustrations of the manner Of writing
the Armenian language to all the young
ladies who desired his autograph. He
wrote from right to left, and used the
reed instead OF the pen commonly used
with us. He had acquired sufficient
knowledge of the English language to
speak il with considerable ease, and SC
as to make himself understood.

In view of the fact that our ranges
are pretty well stocked, the possibility
Of another little scrap with Mexico
does not distress the stock men of the
range country. There is splendid
and almost unoccupied field for cattle
raising in the four northern states of
Mexico, named Cohuili, Sonora, Chi
buahus and Durango, and, although
American stock men have viewed the
landscape DER with covetous eyes,
they have not felt disposed to intrust
their property to the mutations of
Mexican politics. Should war be-
tween the United States and Mexico
begin, the result would simply be
more territory for Uncle Sam, and 1t
is only the truth to remark that we
need some more country in our busi-
ness. The effect OF a tilt with Mexico
would improve business In both
countries. Nothing seems to put life
into things like fight. But, If the
fates have decreed war with Mexico
we hope that something of more
Importance than the Incarceration of
A. X. Cutting may be hung up as a
cause. Cutting is simply malodor-
Gus, disreputable tramp, utterly inca
pable of approaching an idignity put
upon him by Digger Indian, much
less by one of the nations of the earth.
We have seen him when he would
have welcomed Mexican dungeon
with grub attachment as q picnic.
Secretary Bayard ought to amend his
manifesto and declare in positive
terms that the army of the United
States would move at once upon Mex
leo In the event of Cuttings release.
Nothing would so discourage enlist
Dients in districts where Cutting Is
known as to have it understood that
the fight is for his liberation. If IL
can be shown that Mexico has stolen
sheep which she refuses to return or
pay for. then let it be war to the end,
but, for heavens sake, let US have
some provocation greater than the
persecution of Cutting.-Colorado l..

PETERSBURG, n J.. April "A curious case
of death from blood poisoning caused by wear
ing coiored stockings, occurred at this place to-

her parents, wearing new shoes and red stock
ings The shoes were tight and greatly irritated

on the road, but, when they arrived at their des-
tinatior and the shoes were taken off, she said
that her feet hurt her no longer, and nothing
more was thought of it Three days afterward
her feet began to SWELL and three days later both
legs were swollen to twice their natural size,
and her mind became affected. physician was
called in but, in spite of all his skill, she con-
tinued to grow worse until to day. when she was
attacked with spasms, which continued at inter-
walls Of from five to ten minutes until she died in
great agony.
