MARTIN IRONS.

MARTIN IRONS.
 The Congressional committee appointed to investigate the great strike in the Southwest gave Martin Irons chance to exhibit himself, and it is interesting to notice how he did it. The St. Louis Republican, which has been very favorably disposed toward the strikers, thus describes him: "A weak irresolute, half-eunning, half-frightened face he turned toward the committee. He wore @ dirty white shirt and dirty white collar, held in it's place by 8 brassy stud. An imitation diamond relieved the disco1ored area of shirt front, and heavy brass watch chain dan- gled from his unbuttoned vest. His first act, after taking his seat, was to draw spittoon towards him, and take a huge quid of tobac- co, which he chewed heavily while he listen ed to Chairman Curtins opening address to him." The Globe Democrat gives this &C., count of him Throughout the entire exam ination Irons adopted an aggravatingly list less attitude, chewed tobacco necessarily, and expectorated to degree only to be de- scribed as filthy. He spoke in as low 8 tone as possible, and kept roll of paper between his teeth so as to make his utterances less in telligible. He was repeatedly requested by Governor Curtin to put it down or let "some one else hold it" for him, but without avail, and from first to last his answers, such as they were, could only be heard by painful straining.
 In his examination Irons was unable to tell when he came to this country from Scotland, though he believed it was when he was about fourteen He said that he had been natural ized, but had no idea of the date, and he did not know who was the first president for whom he voted. He is machinist and has worked in many places. He joined the Knights of Labor about year ago, became master of his local assembly within three months, and few weeks later was made chairman of the executive board of district assembly No. 101. This makes him practical dictator over all the thirty subordinate local assem- plies, reaching from Missouri down into Texas, with 8 membership of about 5000 men, who are bound by oath to obey the or ders of the chairman of the executive board.
 It is melancholy to think of man like Martin Irons commanding 5, ,000 men or even 50, and it is astonishing that he has been permitted to remain in command after he has so clearly shown his unfitness. The less the Knights of Labor have to do with men like him the better it will be for the order, which he has already seriously hurt and dis graeed.

How old Hickory Went out of omce.


 Among many interesting incidents in the life of Earthquake Allen,'' sobriquet which his powerful voice gained him, was his account of his visit to Andrew Jackson late the night of March B. 1S37 Mr. AL len had come to Washington to enter the Senate at noon the next day, when the presi- dential term of General Jackson would ex- pire. On reaching the White House MT. AL len, who was well known to the attendants, was shown into the Presidents bed chamber. Chief Justice Fancy and Senator Forsythe of Georgia, afterward minister to Spain and Secretary of State, were already in the room, and Jackson himself, active and to a certain extent restless as usual, stood in the middle of the floor smoking short corn-cob pipe. He congratulated Allen warmly upon his election to the Senate, and then calling to a young Irishman who acted as his body ser want and waiter, turned to his visitors and said: "Gentlemen I think the occasion will warrant me in breaking over one of my own rules. Let us drink little Madeira" The wine was brought. Jackson took 8 small glassful-it was the first liquor he had been known to touch for several months-and then, asking his friends to excuse him for few moments, he finished writing letter upon which he was engaged, sealed, directed it and, lighting his cob pipe again, took a whif or two and stood silently watching the face of great, tall, old-fashioned clock which stood in one corner. It was five min utes before midnight, five minutes before the beginning of the day upon which An drew Jackson would cease to be President of the United States Slowly the minute hand moved round the dial. The silence in the room became almost painful. It was broken by the clear, sharp bell of the clock striking the last hour of a day which had gone for ever. Then Jackson, starting suddenly and looking toward his friends, said, with quick, nervous laugh: "GentIemen, am no longer President of the United States, but as good citizen as any of you" Sub seauently he expressed to them a feeling of great relief at the prospect of escaping from the official cares which had begun to weigh most heavily upon him, saying to Allen among other things of the same sort: 'I apl very glad to. get away from all this ex- citement and bother" That day Van Buren was inaugurated President of the United States, and Jackson, at the end of his ond term, left the White House-left it so poor that he was obliged to borrow from his friends five thousand dollars with which to rebuild ''The Hermitage" his old family mansion, which some time before had been burned to the ground

Now the dog comes into the house by the back door, never scrapes his feet on the mat, never goes to church, is careless at his meals, gets burrs in his tails, goes with lower grade of dogs, and it is feared that he is beginning to take an interest in politics.-Burdette.

 There is an old lady in the annexed district who makes frantic efforts to keep abreast of the times. Circumscrioed, however, in her social sphere, and with limited opportunities of development, this is difficult, and she is compelled sometimes to resort to her imagi- nation. Vain the efforS to tell her anything she does not already know, or startle her with information. A few evenings ago she went to church sociable, and as she entered the room one of the young ladies said: Good evening, auntie; I am very glad you came, We going to have tableaux this evening" "Yes, know. I know" replied the old lady; sI smelt lem when I first came in."-New York Up-Town News.

stock company system. The gentlemen who help with their names the floating of such enterprises form distinct class of themselves, and are termed "guinea pigs" most probably from the fact of each ordinary director re- ceiving guinea for each meeting he attends. In order to be considered of any value as director of a company guinea pig ought to have handle to his name. A lord, bar onet, or even knight is looked upon as
 unexceptionable, and may almost command his own price; for it is not to be supposed that director is to work for nothing His value, like most other things, varies with the quality of the article. A peer who has g seat in the upper house will probably not al low his name to appear on prospectus un- der f3OO to e40O year, besides some 50 or 100 fully paid-up shares. And he is worth the money. The financial agents are we'll ed and heads the list of directors the most difficult part of their task is accomplished
 What remains will follow as a matter of course. The next step is to write or to get some one to write-for the promoter has gen erally soul above literary position-that portion of the prospectus beginning, 'FThe object for which this company is formed, /" and so on. This is quickly accomplished. There are certain gentlemen who describe themselves as connected with the press whose speciality is to compose these prospectusesZ The charge for such document varies from z Io gulneaS, anu they are cneaD even at the latter price. There is, perhaps, no kind of writing which requires more skill than this. In the case of the 'tFiji tramway con- pany" the writer must make it appear that no undertaking so purely philanthropical, or so sure to cause so much prosperity to Fiji, has ever been proposed either by government or private enterprise; while at the same time he must, as it were, alloA to escape from his pen the fact that 8 tramway company in the Fiji Islands is certain to be exceedingly luc- rative to all concerned. To repeat the old French joke he must not lie in what he writes but he must economize the truth. The prospectus writ tten, and the officials, such as secretary, solicitors, bankers, &c., chosen, an expensive step comes next-nanely, very long advertisements in the leading daily pap CTS and elsewhere. But here also modern en- terprise comes to the help of the promoter, and sees him over the difficulty, which to an outsider might seem almost insurmounta- ble

haven't built houses and studied the labor question for forty years without learning something"
 An interesting decision has been rendered in the United States court in the case of Me nacho against the Ward and Alexandre steamer lines between Tie1v York and Cuba. The court decides that as common carrier steamship line is bound to serve all per sons on like terms. A company cannot exact from any shipper higher rates than those es- tablished for others simply because that ship per sometimes finds it to his advantage to patronize rival line. That is a discrimina- tion which, as the court remarked, F'is cal culated to deprive the public of their legiti- mate opportunity to obtain carriage on the best terms they can. If tolerated it will re- suit practically in giving the defendants a monopoly of the carrying trade between these places" The law does not permit such discrimination either on land or water.
