men profess not TO know the work they
had engaged TO perform, il is surmised
that their destination is Homestead, Pa,
and that they are intended to have a part
in the solution of the labor troubles at
that place. Their presence there may
cause a renewal Of the disturbances which

LEGENDS AND CUSTOMS.

An Austrian provincial paper lately
contained the following advertisement:
"a widow, who still possesses the en-
lire wardrobe of her deceased husband,
Is disposed to enter into correspondence
with a suitable gentleman, if such can
be found, with view to matrimony."
Advertisement in an English relig-
Ious paper: "a Christian young man
Of retiring and sensitive character de-
Sires to be employed by quiet and
godly person. Understands the higher
forms of gardening, and is an expert
cofinmaker. Instead of the usual beer
allowance, he will take the equivalent
In money, which he will give to the
Lord.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Record tells of family who used to
get up in bad humor every morning
and wrangle over their breakfast. The
thoughtful lord and master bought
foot ball which he suspended from the
ceiling and made each member of the
household kick it for short time be-
fore sitting down to the table. Peace
now reigns.
In Ashantee no man is ever allowed
TO see any of the kings wives, and
should he even accidentally see one his
punishment is death. These wives,
during the working season, attend to
the kings plantations, but the rest of
the time they live at Coomasie, the
capital, where they occupy two long
streets. The law of the country al
lows him to have 1888 wives at one
time.
According to an old Servian legend,
when the nations were about to dis
tribute the world among themselves,
they all assembled in the center of the
universe, divided it into parts, and
drew lots. Some, however, refused to
leave it to chance, preferrin.y to mike
their own selection. "We," said the
Latins, ''want wisdom" "We want
the sea-" said the English. The Turks
said, "We want the land" Gold and
war for u.s." said the French. The
Russians said, "We prefer the noun
tains and the mines" swell, you
Servians, and what do you want?"
"Ah!" they replied, 1--WE are thinking"
And to this day they are not done
thinking yet.

The Farmers and Laborers Light:
The American manufacturer OF farm
implements finds large demand for
his implements in foreign countries.
and by a comparison Of prices to homo
customers and foreign countries 1t Is
found that American implements are
80 cheaper in foreign countries than
at home. The American farmer Is
compelled to pay more for a binder
manufactured by home manuiac-
turer than his competitor who lives In
Australia that uses the same binder.
This System of discrimination against
the farmers OF the United States Is
legalized robbery, which is the result
OF duties levied for the benefit OF the
manufacturer and is unnecessary from
the fact II the manufacturer can sell
his machine IN Australia for certain
price, which Is below what he sells
for at home. it is evident that he is
extortioning of Of the home custom

The Butler Herald: These hard
times are awful to be borne, but they
are opening the eyes of the farmers
more and convincing them more thor
oughly by demonstration of the results
of the pernicious policies in existence
and ruinous system in vogue than ali
the argument that could be produced.
The unprecedented and thoughtful bus
mess man is also having the scales to
fall from his eyes, and he is looking
at the iniquities in vogue that must
eventually engulf him in ruin with
some concern. The farmers demands
are usually as advantageous and ben,
efcial to one as another All the
prosperity of this country is based on
agriculture. When that fails to yield
profit and wealth, all dependent upon
it must also be affected TO the same

is in favor of continuing the present
systems must have very peculiar
views and still more unfortunate com.

gone into the Alliance are now we'll
up on all questions Of finance. They
know why and how the present sys.
tenn operates against them as pro-
ducers and laborers and they have by
cooperation and much thought been
able to suggest a remedy for these
evils. Those who have been in the
habit Of directing and controlling the
laboring people on these questions
are now surprised when they come in
contact with the hayseeder-it has
