UNION BEER FROM NEW HAVEN.

One day during the past week sa-
loon keeper from New York w.. led this
city in quest Of union beer, being un-
able to obtain sufficient in the metropo-
lis Tie visited the small pool brewers
of this city, and was refused by them.
Among those interviewed was Boss Ken
dali, Of the Quinnipiac Brewery, who
kindly informed the gentleman that he
would not sell him keg Of beer for two
hundred dollars, and that he would nut
nothing in the way of his brother pool
brewers Of New York, thereby showing
his sympathy with the pool bossess. 1t
is probable, however, that the gentleman
from New York will be supplied by a
solid non-pooI brewer of this city.

Liberal Party, are just awaking, and
which was well expressed by }. Keir
Harde, candidate Of the English Trades
and Labor Party, at the recent election
for Mid-Lanark, as follows:
THE attitude of the official Liberals
makes it Enthusiastically clear that they
care nothing for the interests Of labor,
except in 50 far rs they can be made
suhseryient to those Of the middle class
Liberals are eager to use our political
power as "A weapon against Tory land
lords, but they are afraid that, in the
hands Of consistent and independent
men, the same weapon may be turned
against the social injustice of which
labor is the prey. We do not intend any
longer to be merely the tools for political
triCksters.
If we substitute "repubIicans and
" democrats for "Liberals,' Hardie'S
words apply literally to the attitude of
our old parties TO the workingmen Of
this country. When will the latter say;
We do not intcnd any longer 10 be-

can easily get along without such char
acters, and the quicker they are
bounced the better.
Come to think of it, what ridiculous
thing it was for the Iocked-out Union
men to petition the "dpmocratiC" con
Ventlon to consider their case. These
politicians are not as much afraid of
their petitioners rs they would be of the
trades unlonsts organized into straight
out, radical Labor Party,
Union men of all trades who drink
beer should see to it that they do not
patronize places where pool beer is sold.
The union brewers are lighting a lust
fight, and if they receive the sustenance
which they should receive from their
brother union men, they will win. We
have our eye on some New Haven union
men who patronize pool beer.

Only intent-and hypocriticalIy-

WE ARE REBELS.
BY JOHN FLOOD

All the might and strength of Britain
Could not iurg" tyrant chain
Strong enough tu bind freeman;
All her strIylngs are in vain.
We have trod a path Of danger
That might brave hearts appal
And though often foled and hatlled,
We're not conquered after all.
All the strength the foe could muster
They have used to stamp us down,
And to bind our stubborn spirits
TO the mandates of their crown.
Still we struggled, bravely scorning
Gibbet. axe and leaden ball;
And despite their strength and bayonet,
We are rebels after all.
We are rebels and shall never
Bend knee to England's throne,
But shall toll with brave endeayor
To again win back our own
Let the slave and coward faltcr,
And before the focman crawl;
We shall meet him like our fathers,
And shall beat him after all.

London Globe.

Just eight years ago a young Dub- lin engineer and the daughter of a wealthy farmer, who was also engaged in the Dublin provision trade, were married. The bride had managed the provision business for her family, and was described as an amiable and lovely girl. Alter the marriage the wedding party went to Glendalough, and a most enjoyable day almost up to the hour returning was spent, the com pany being large one, when some misunderstanding occurred between the newly welded pair. The bride- groom left the company in anger and walked the eight miles back to the city in time to catch an evening steamer to Liverpool, and from that period until Thursday in last week he was never heard of. The bride felt her desertion keenly, but she stuck to her business. Her father meantime died, and she was lett in charge of great responsibilities. The wanderer was forgotten or believed to have died, and some time since another suc- ceeded in obtaining her affections. The wedding was arranged for an early day and invitations had been is- sued, when the long, missing husband put in an appearance in the city. He had been all these years in New Zea- land. and he had made money, which he had come home to share with his wife, who, strangely enough" adds the correspondent, "felt all her old love for him revive. He was very nearly being late, but his timely ar- rival saved vast amount of after mis- cry to all concerned"

To all such women we would say that one of the most skillful physicians of the day, who has had vast experi- ence in curing diseases peculiar to women, has prepared remedy which is of inestimable aid to them.

A Beautiful Longing.
Exchange.

George D. Prentice, probably one of the most gifted writers that ever added lustre to American journalism, once said: It cannot be that earth is mans only abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a bubble cast up by the ocean of eternity, to float a moment upon its waves and sink into nothing ness. Else why these high and glori- ous aspirations which leap like angels from the temples of our hearts, for ever wandering unsatisfied? Why is it that the rainbow and clouds come over us with 8 beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off to leave us to muse on their loveliness? Why is it that stars which hold their festival around the midnight throne, are set above the grasp of our limited facul- ties, forever mOcking us with their unapproachable glory? And finally, why is it that the bright forms of hu- man beauty are presented to our view and taken from us, leaving the thou sand streams of our affections to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts2 We were born for 8 higher destiny than earth. There is & realm where the rainbow never fades, where the stars will be spread out before us like islands that slumber on the ocean. and where the beautiful beings that pass before us will stay forever in our presence.

Rabbiting. Exchange.

As is well-known to most readers rabbits have become a great pest in Auptralia and New Zealand. For years past, the owners of stations, as the ranches are called there, have been in the habit of employing "rabbiters'' to hunt down and destroy the pest. These men are given guns, ammuni- tion, and "whare," or roughly built hut, to live in. Their "tucker," an- other colonialism, which means food, is also supplied them by their em- ployer, and, in addition, they are either paid from two to four cents of our money head for each rabbit killed, or draw regular salary.
 The rabbiter has to take of and dry the skin of every rabbit worth it, and turn it over to his employer as evil dence of the death of the animal. The market value of these skins there is four or five cents each, so that the proprietor nearly recoups himself for the pay of the rabbiter. When the rabbit is so young that the pelt is worthless, the hunter receives the same pay, but is obliged to produce the ears as evidence of his work. When he rabbits on salary, he gets from six dollars to fifteen dollars week.
 The work is of the most arduous kind. The places, particularly in New Zealand, where the rabbits most abound, are hilly in the extreme, and they scarcely deign to speak of any thing as hilly that would not be called precipitous anywhere else.
 The animals can be hunted with success only at the earliest dawn, and in the twilight. Going over those hills at breakneck speed in the attempt to save half a. dozen rabbits skins from being mangled by as many different dogs is not romantic, and hours of it give the most enthusiastic his fill.
 Each rabbit is skinned as soon as taken, almost by turn of the wrist, and the pelt distended inside out by the insertion of an elastic twig bent double. These skins are then all taken to the whare, and hung around on bushes to dry. While drying in the hot sun they fill the whole neighbor-
 
 one coming on to rabbiter's camp from the leeward is aware of the fact half mile off.
 When thoroughly dried, the pelts are packed in bundles containing twenty five each, and carried to the station, where the rabbiter receives his pay. The skins are manufactured into various articles of wearing apparel, notably hats, and not infrequently are dyed to initiate the more expensive furs, when they bring a very fair price. The meat, although not badly fiav- ored, is seldom eaten, at least in the neighborhoods where they abound, though the carcasses bring twenty five cents piece in the larger cities.
 On desirable station, rabbiting is not an unp1ofitable job. One man made one thousand five hundred dol lars year at it, for three successive years on New Zealand run.
