.Tit for Tat was vivaciously pre-
scented by Messrs. Clarke and Smith
at the Academy last night. Al
though Mr. Clarke is q nephew of
Edwin Booth, he does not trade
upon the reputation of his kinsfolk;
he stands upon his own merits, and
he is well able to do so. Mr.. Clarke
is artistic, inimitable, versatile, ire
sistible and his facial expression the
best that has ever been given the
public in a long time in our city.
He has stamped himself a prime
favorite with onr Washingtonians.
Mr.. Smith is another type of come
dian. humorous. quaint aud decided
ly effective. He portrays the old
uncle in mastery way, and in
every gesture and action shows a
familiarity with the stage which is
the result only of long and varied
experience. The amusing plot, by
which two husbands and their wives
and a baby become almost inextric-
ably tangled, is one of the best ever
invented for a comedy. There.
should be no standing room for the
balance of the week. ;"
Remember, it takes place at the
Opera House to night. One night

GERMAN HOURS AND WAGES.

An interesting account of the labor
hours in Germany-which serves to en-
phasize the wide gulf that separates the
conditions of life of the American from
the European workingman-has just
been published in q British official re-
port. The arrangement of the hours of
labor in Germany can only be described
as chaotic. Not only do different indus
tries at the same place give different re-
suits as to the hours of employment, but
the same industry at different places
shows variations in the length of the
labor day irrespective such factors as
the season of the year or the run of bust
ness. From the reports of German fac
tory inspectors it appears that the great
er number of industries demand actual
work extending to eleven or twelve
hours day. This is altogether exclu-
sive of intervals for rest, and a longer
period of work is often required.
Machinists and boiler overseers are,
the factory inspector at Dusseldorf re-
marks, frequently required to give twelve
or thirteen and occasionally even twenty
four hours actual labor in day, and an
examination of the details of the various
trades in the different places serves to
show how frequent is this excessive
lGuSbll VI WOIh. III weaving, lOI CA
ample, eleven to twelve hours through
out the year, with an increase OF an hour
or two during prosperous times, seem to
be not uncommon, while in the case of
cloth dressing we read of fourteen hours
day being exacted seven days in the
week. In the factories for dry starch
and molasses the labor is from ten to
sixteen and even eighteen hours day
being exacted seven days in the week,
and in sugar factories in Mecklenburg
the working day is as long as eighteen
hours, while in Baden the working day
sometimes extends to twenty-One hours.
In the mills, we are told, the work lasts
| for sixteen hours and more, even up to
eighteen and nineteen hours, at times
when there is plenty of water, and the
factory inspector for East and West
Prussia, when questioned as to the need
of rest for the workmen, is reported to
have svid that she would be poor mil
Ter who needed more than four hours
sleep" Day shifts and night shifts of
twelve hours each seem to be frequent,
but in some parts of Germany the hours
of work are very unfavorably proper
| toned to the hours of rest. An arrange
ment of thirty hours work and fourteen
hours rest, bad as it is, compares favor
ably with one in which twelve hours
rest is considered compensation for
thirty-six hours.
| This is the sort of competition to
which, nnGer free trade, American labor
must compete.-N. Y. Press

These are the days for young wom-
en- and girls to beware of advertisements
promising light and easy employment"
at Chicago. There is reason to bell eve
that nefarious schemes lie behind a good
many of these advertisements, and nc
woman should start for Chicago, with
the idea of finding employment there
who has not taken pains to authenticate
beyond any possibility of mistake the
people for whom she is to work and the
nature of the service she is TO render.
A great city becomes often trap for the
unwary, and dangers of this kind were
never more threatening that just now at
Chicago.
Nobody likes to be charged with in.
sincerity; yet who is entirely sincere? II
is one of the conventionalisms of society
that its members shall seem to believe
statements and professions which they
know or suspect to be false; it is another
that they shall pretend not to see and
hear thousand things of which only the
blind and deaf could be really uncon
scious. This general Discrimination
comes from tacit understanding where
by the world consents, for the sake Of
peace and quietness, to recognize false
pretences as part and parcel of the amen
tiles of social life. A man absolutely
sincere is very rare specimen of civil
lied humanity
DO not pray for easy lives. Pray t
be stronger men. Do not pray for tasks
equal to your powers. Pray for powers
equal to four tasks.

SUGAR MEN MEET.

A meeting of the Vermont Maple Su.
gar Makers association was held in Bur
lington, Tuesday, says the Independent
of that city, to consider the project of
selling sugar ON the Worlds Fair
grounds. Secretary Croft, of Enos-
burgh Falls, read letters from G. 1. Whit
man, superintendent of the Vermont
maple sugar exhibit at the Fair, and
after general discussion it was voted
that Secretary Croft correspond with Mr..
Whitman regarding the advisability of
forming stock company of members of
the association to carry out the project.
Mr.. Whitman wrote at considerable
length in relation to the project. He
said it would be necessary to deposit
$1,000 with the Worlds Fair manage
ment as a guaranty of good faith, to be
paid back at the close of the exposition.
The evaporation manufacturers would
furnish pans. He did not desire to ad-
wise any sugar maker to go into this pro-
jcct, but he thought it would pay the
State to take hold of the matter and adj
vertise the maple sugar interests of
Vermont. He says that many of the
visitors to the fair seem anxious to learn
where they can obtain some nice new
maple sugar, and he thinks Vermont
maple sugar house would be very
popular, He has not only obtained the
right to sell sugar on the grounds, but
he has been informed by Chief Buchanan
that space can be had for building for
making the sugar and for another to sell
it. In conversation with Mr.. Jas. Z.
Miles of the firm of Miles & Mcmahon
Co., of Burlington, who is a prominent
member of the association and one of
best judges and the largest buyer of
maple sugar in Vermont, we learned
that most of the sugar purchased by his
firm is sent to Chicago, Minneapolis and
New York, upwards of one hundred tons
of the best quality being shipped annu-
ally to j. H. Barker e. Co., of New York
city
