 The Bohemian element in and about New York numbers among it's members many Meissonier born to blush unseen, many a Rubens who wastes his sweet ness on the desert air. They neverthe- less enjoy life hugely, and have among themselves quantity of unwritten anec- dotes sufficiently large to fill the shelves of moderate-sized library.
 The incipient Gerome who could not admire well-known society woman be- cause she was out of drawing is to be found among the leaders of this community, in addition to whom are several sensitive souls who have repeatedly refused to re- produce on canvas certain sunsets and sky effects because "the coloring thereof was atrocious."

 Another successful devotee of arts shrine, on being asked to paint the DOT trait of a friend, kindly replied that if he were allowed to put little soul into the face he would be glad to do it.
 The dream of the French painter who thought himself unhappy in Heaven be- cause there was not color shop in the blade, finds it's counterpart in the reali- ty of the situation confronting the young man who gave up art entirely be- cause the colors at his disposal were so limited, saying that with so few and such hackneyed hues" he could not sat isfy his own soul, and, preferring to be conscientious, tried literature, in which profession he found it possible to mysti- fy his readers by the extraordinary com bination of syllables he was able to pro- duce.

GRANDMOTHER MATTE.
She Was Always Knitting and COuntiI
 the Stitches.

She Was Always Knitting and Counting
 the Stitches.
 Hattie Bigelow was called Little Grandmother, because no one ever saw her in the daytime without her little French cap or ball of yarn and knitting needles. And she was always knitting and counting stitches.
 If any one asked her a question she was just as likely to say: ''One, two, three, four, five-in minute, please;" and after answering, she would com mence again: ''six, seven, eight" and so on.
 Hattie lived near the great Missis- sippi river. In the spring, when the freshets came and the river OverAowed it's banks, Mir. Bigelow would often before the food came.
 One day Mattie's father and mother went away from home, leaving her in charge of her little brother Stephie, who was only three years old.
 There had been some signs of fresh et but as Mattie's father expected to be back in an hour or two, he ';id not think there was any danger in isaying Hattie and SteDhie in the house.
 Several times ou their way back N-. and Mrs. B.g-lav were told that tho river lad risen suddenly. Whom they got near home they found their house surrounded bv water which was up nearly .o tle secoua-storv window.

 It was Hattie counting stitches and watching over her little brother.
 When her father called her to the window and lifted her and Stephie into the skiff. Hattie said:

That some of the struggling aspirants for the bays are improvident goes with out saying. There is room for doubt that any poverty stricken soul ever painted his Academy picture on the bosom of his only shirt for lack of can vass, selling his studs to buy frame, because having parted with his shirt he no longer had use for them, but the young man who wore a braSs-headed manuscript fastener in lieu of a plain gold stud to fashionable reception lives, breathes, and has his being on Manhattan Island. The individual who for fame's sake hailed poverty with joy because he could not do his best unless he were hungry, can be found there; and as for the disciples of the brush who re- semble Barkis in their ''willin'ness" to paint any thing, from barn to the DOT trait of lady, if by so doing they may keep the sheriff, the wolf, and thirst from the door, their name is legion.- John Kenlrick Bangs, in Harper's Maga. zine

New Hampshire Woman Who Gave Out
 Sparks and Snaps.


 Sparks and Snaps.
 pr. R. D. Mussey, professor of sur gerry in Dartmouth College, in the American Journal of Medical Sciences for January, 1885, gives an account of a Mrs. B., married lady about thirty years of age, residing in Grafton Coun- ty, N. H., who gave out sparks and snaps continuously for some thirteen weeks, when this power was entirely lost and did not return again. The dis covery of this faculty was a great sur prise to the lady, and subsequently, caused her some annoyance. Though Mrs. B-wore silk dress at the time of the commencement of the phenom- enon, this was exchanged for cotton and flannel successively without affecting the result; and the manifestations were found to be due to the lady's own per son, and not to the clothing or other conditions. pr.

ROCHESTER,.

The following resolution was passed
at the meeting of the Socialist Labor
Party of this city July Goth;
"WheTeds, A movement has been
started to reform our educational sYs-

"We, as citizens, declare that corrup-

san politicians, who are controlled by
the plutocracy and live on the spois of

'Until the people can recall their Off
ciaIs at will and vote directly upon all
important measures, different methods
of electing commissioners will be of no
practical avail.
1--WE, however, submit the following
propositions. which are in accord with
those immediate demands of the Social

adherents of its principles all over the
civilized world are pledged to support

thereof to be elected by the people, and
also subject to the control of public

pends upon the condition of the educa-
tion of its citizens, it is therefore the
duty of the State to publish and provide

the poor are unable to attend school, it
also becomes the duty of the State to
provide free meals and clothing to those
who need it. Thus can common school

sorry until the age of fourteen, and the
rising generation saved from degrada
ton by slavery in factories.
The above resolution was published in
nearly all the Rochester papers, and
attracted general attention; which
shows that the Socialists cannot adopt a
more effective method of propagating
their principles than Ly taking an active
interest in all questions OF local as well
as national import.

Activity and Success of the Socialists
Labor Notes.

The open-air meetings of the Socialist
League in various cities of England are
proving very effective as means of ed
ucation and propaganda. Eleven such
meetings were held in Norwich alone in
the second week of July and the au-
diences were very enthusiastic. For
the last three months j. Skechley, as
sisted by few friends, has addressed
good audiences every Sunday evening
on West Bar Green at Sheffield. Now
bray in Yarmouth, Peacock and Proctor
in Nottingham, Pengelley in Leicester,
have lately done good work of the same
character. In Manchester three weeks
ago Bailie spoke for an hour to an at
tentive audience whilst rain fell heavily.
Other meetings are regularly held at
Clerkenwell, North kensington, Aber-
deem, North London, etc, AT all of
them Socialist literature is sold, and op-
ponents are invited to criticize the
speakers.
Tle outdoor meetings of the Socialist
League in Yarmouth are held on the
Priory Plain, which adjoins the Old
Mans Hospital. One ol the old men has
attended and shown great interest, sit
ting, as a rule, on the stall from which
the speeches We're delivered. At last
this old man received notice from the
clerk, by order of the trustees, that if he
was seen at the meetings again he
would be turned out of the hospital,
where he gets IS. per week, into the
work house.
AT Nottingham the men engaged on
machine-sewn and hand-sewn work in
the boot trade have by a mutual ar
rangement gained an advance in price
equal to about ten per cent
The bakers are agitating and organiz-
ing for an eight-hour day, besides the
abolition of night and Sunday work.
On July 25 the gas workers held a.
mass meeting in Hyde Park. The So.
cial Democratic Federation was pro-
vided with a special platform for its
speakers.
The nailmakers at Oldbury have gone
in, their masters consenting to a ten
per cent. advance and agreeing to give
a fair consideration to the framing of a
new list. At general meeting held at
Birmingham by the nailmakers, it was
agreed to avoid "A general strike and
accept similar terms.

BUsCHE-MILLER RESOLUTIONS.

Whereas, The reports of the delegates
to this Congress from all countries have
demonstrated the fact that sole depend
enCe upon economic organization of
labor (as exemplified in the trades unions
and similar organizations), does not suf-
flee for the emancipation of labor,
though the agitation for shortening the
work-day, limiting the labor of women
and children, protective labor laws, etc. =,
has proven means for the development
of ClaSs-ConsCiOuSness, which is the nee
esSary preliminary step for the self
emancipation of the working classes;

Whereas, The possession Of the poIt
ical power by the ruling class has en-
abled them to sustain their exploiting
system of private enterprise and capi-
talistiC production, and to successfully
oppose the control of the industries by
the State, and the control of the State
by the people; and
Whereas, The history of the labor
movement shows that appeals to the
bourgeois avail nothing for the workers,
but are used to make political capital
for the ruling class;
ReSOtred, That it is the sense of this
International Congress that in all coun-
tries where the elective franchise is
possessed by the people, they should
join the ranks of the Socialist Party,
permitting no compromise with other
political parties and by the use of their
elective franchise proceed under the
provisions of their respective constitu-
tions to obtain possession of the political
power.

rights are withheld from the people,
