Items pluckea here and there.

Rev. A. Barry has been, for many
years, an important factor in the tenn
perance movement. He worked faith
fully and honestly for the cold water
cause for a consideration Of $50 per
month and expenses. Mr.. Barry is a
good man, he has been a consistent
christian for 10 these many years. In
his youth Bro. Barry became member
of the good old Baptist church, and
when he was immersed according to the
Baptist custom he shouted "a Baptist
I was born and Baptist / will die"
Bro. Barry was, however, a little too
previous in his calculations and it is
probable that he will climb the golden
stairs rs a Jew. Bro. Barry has never
been circuncised but he is Jew for a
that, at least he is so called by many Of
his fellow citizens. He might be called
a Wandering Jew" and he has been
travelling teaching temperance doc
trines. About two years ago Bro. Barry
wanted to be pastor of Fifth Avenue
Baptist church but he was uncessful in
the deal and since that time he has
been a little cold toward the Baptist
faith and he is now full fedged
Seventh Day Adventist" or Jew, as
he his commonly called, for the Ad-
ventists observe Saturday as their Sab
bath. Bro. Barry has succeeded in con-
verting quite number of Bapists to the
new religion, in fact, so many were
taken from Fifth Avenue Baptist church
that some of the leaders in Israel be-
came alarmed and Bro. Barry and Mrs.
Barry were called before the tribunal of
the church Che still retains membership
in the Baptist church). Bro. Barry was
charged with hammering on the Sabbath
day and Mrs. Barry was asked to show
cause why she used Sunday for washing
and ironing Rev. Barry's shirts and
socks, Bro. B. defended his own case
and SO eloquent was he that many of
the council of wise men were almost
persuaded to be Jews. Bro. VIM. Glib
son was fully convinced and became an
Adventist. Bro. Barry now has about
fifty followers. Sabbath school is held

A Lucky Clerk Draws ss, 900.
San Diego tc.l., Bee. Feb. $

San Diego tCsi.) Bee. Feb. s.
Charles A. Treanor, book-keeper for
the Russ Lumber and Mill Company in
this city,is undoubtedly"a lucky man."
Just before the drawing of The Louisi-
ana State Lottery in New Orleans on
January 10, he bought half of ticket No.
6,419, which drew the fourth capital
prize of $40, 900, so now Mr.. Treauor
is the happy possessor of 5000, less
Wells, Fargo & Co.'S commission for
collecting the same. He stated to a
Bee reporter yesterday that The Louis
lana State Lottery Company had paid
the amount promptly, and that he now
has it, but has not decided what he will
do with his fortune. He says that the
other half of the ticket was sold in
fifths throughout the United States and
he does not know the holders of them.
MIR. Treanor has been book-keeper for
the Russ Lumber Company for five
years, and when he drew this 5000
was worth in real estate at least 81 900.
SO, that, although very welcome it will
not raise him from poverty. He resides
at S4S Tenth street with his mother. his
father being dead, and supports her.
He is an intelligent young man of about
thirty years, wears gold-rimmed spec
tacles and is slight Of stature. He has
tried his luck often before, having pur-
chased over 100 tickets. and has been
uniformly successful in drawing small
amounts, ranging from Is to 800.
These winnings have kept him even
with the amount expended for tickets,
and he acted upon the adsge, Moth
ing venture. nothing have" to quote

Powderly Says They Never Do Good
and Should be Given Up.
WnKEsBARRE, Pa, March o.
Master Workman Powderly issues q long
manifesto to the Knights of Labor, in which
he earnestly requests that education be
made the future motto Of the order, and that
strikes be entirely done away with. Mr..
Powderly confesses that the knights of
Labor strikes have never been successful,
and that the time to call a halt has arrived.
He says:
What combination of hungry men could
fight the battle against q combination of
dollars? When workman ceases to earn
money his stomach feels it, and unless
charity be given he starves.
III our membership of 100000 is in
strrcted in the full meaning of the Knights
of Labor we will do work which all the
strikes of ages, had they all proved success
full could not do. Educate our people, teach
them what 1t is that causes depression, teach
them what is contained in our preamble,
have them discuss it, sitting out that which
is good in it, and excluding that which is
not SO good for something better.
I'VE mus. have legislation which will
compel individuals and corporations to
transact business on basis of real prop
erty-dollars and cents-instead Of what
the world calls papers of credit or fictitious
values"
Powderly requests that everv local assem-
bly, hold meetings at once and vote on four
common questions and send their answers
to him.
First-Does your assembly believe in en-
tering at once upon an active educational
campaign?
Second-Do you believe We shonld send
good, competent brothers to teach the prin-
ciples of the order?
Third-Shall the general master workman
levy an assessment or Is cents per capita to
defray the expenses of the lecturers:
Fourth-Will the general master work
man be sustained in enforcing discipline in
all departments of the order?

to the late Chief Justicewaite will be a con
tinuing topic until he shall be nominated.
Public men talk great deal about the
place, but opinion has not yet crystalized
upon any man who is regarded rs of such

Sc isc,ed. The lawyers OF the Court are
pretty generally OF the opinion that Judge
Waite's successor will not come from the
judicial circuit TO which he WAS himself as
signed. That circle includes the Atlantic
Coast states from Baltimore south, and no
lawyer Of eminent ability in that circuit is
known to the bar here whom the President
would be likely TO select

that the President will appoint enc OF the

Sunken Cities.

There is no superstition so wide
spread in Europe rs that of n sunke n
city which has disappeared below the
surface of the sea or lake at some
unknown period in the past When
the waters are rough the tips of the
spires of its churches may be seen in
the trough of the waves; on calm days
one hears the distant sound of their
bells drowned by the ocean. The
name of the city in Germany is given
as Vneta, and it les in the vicinity of
the Island of Rugen. L. Werner has
novel entitled "Vineta" which is
based on this superstition. and w.

quisite little lyric under the same title.
Here is Mangs1's translation of the
first two stanzas:
Harkl the faint bells OF the sunken city
Peal once more their wonted evening chime
From the deep abysses floats ditty,
Wild aud wondrous, of the olden time.
Temples, towers and domes OF many stories
There lie buried In an ocean grave
Undescrled, save when their golden glories
Clean, at sunset, through the lighted wave.
In Brittany the sunken city is called

are pointed out as its site. Ernest

Genuine Mound Builders.

The caving of the bank of the Big
River, about two miles south of Bonne-
Terre, No., writes correspondent of
the Globe Democrat. has disclosed an
ancient burial ground. Six rudely con-
structed boxes, formed by setting fiat
stones on edge in parallel lines. about
twenty inches apart. covered also with
fiat stones. were disclosed, the end pro-
jecting from the bank some two or
three feet below the surface of the soil.
On examination each box proved to be
a coffin containing human remains.
The form of the bones could be plainly
discerned by the chalky substance into
which time had changed all but the
larger ones. Portions of the larger
bones of the arms, thighs and skulls
were obtained from each of the graves
in tolerably solid condition, but the
smaller bones. as soon rs they were eX-
posed to the air, crumbled to dust.
Quite quantity of teeth were found
in excellent state of preservation. as
also numerous fragments of pottery.
This last circumstance determines the
occupants of these silent abodes to be-
long to the Mound Builders. a race of
men who had passed even out of tradi
ton before the advent of the white man.
The SIX graves were all side by side. n
space of about two feet intervening be-
tween each two. Besides these. other
graves have been found justifying the
belief that this is an extensive ancient
burial ground.
These remains of an unknown race
that once inhabited this country recall
other very interesting remains fou nd
on the farm of William ID. Huff, near
Irendale, and about twelve miles from
this place. These latter are found in a
rocky glade. covered with a soft yell
lowish. bastard limestone. in which.
many years ago, there were hundreds
of tracks of human feet and of almo st
every animal formerly inhabiting the
country. Years ago however the To-
cality became known to curiosity hunt
ers. and all the best specimens have
been carried away. Among the foot
prints were those of bears, deer, tur-
keys. etc. as we'll as human feet most
of which were as perfect as If they
had been made by the impression of
the foot in soft mud, which dried into
stone; and indeed there are some who
believe this to be the case. Notwith.
standing the great number of spec linens
that have been carried away. there
are still many left, and to those who
take an interest in such matters. the
locality is a highly int Q resting one.

Distress in Venice.

A friend writes to me from Venice
that inconceivable distress prevails
there among the working classes.
owing to the miserable low rate OF
wages. Skilled tradesm en- who work
hard for twelve hours day six days in
week can only earn from 9s Cd to Ids
per week. Clever woodcutters average
22s per week; clerks in private employ
ment get 5s to los; those in public
Offices, los TO 20s. and even those in the
higher post get only 25s. The aver
age government pay to post and tele-
graph functionaries is lbs Cd per week.
from which income tax has TO be de-
d ucted. Women engaged in lace and
bead work, II industrious, earn As Cd
to Is. A daily governess. employed
six hours every day, is paid los to
lbs per month. The wages of agricul-
tural labors in the province of Venice
average IS to As Cd a week. The peo-
pie yearn for the old Austrian days
when wages were higher and there
were practically no taxes.-London
