The Strike.

The original strike at Pullman
involved about two thousand
workingmen and a considerable
number of women. The occa-
sion was the demand for the res
toration of former wages, the COM
plant being that while there had
been no lowering of house rents,
wages had been again and again
cut down till respectable liveli-
hood had ceased to be possible.
Appeal to the management of the
company was without avail, the
reply being that as it was, the
company was losing money or its
contracts. The proposition of
the strikers for arbitration was
met with the curt reply that there
was nothing to arbitrate. At this
point the American Railway Un-
ion, which aspires to be the exec
utive union of all the Unions, of
railway workingmen, stepped in.
Its president, a Mr.. Debs, came
forward proposing to act as the
autocrat of the total situation,
against the world. The scheme
was to boycott every railway
company on the continent that
would not consent to break its
contract with the Pullman Com
pany and refuse to carry any Pull
man cars on any of its trains.
Thus a blow was to be struck in
the face of the entire American
public, hoping by this means to
compel something to be done
that should force the Pullman
company to grant the increase of
wages demanded.
Twenty of the great railways
centering in Chicago were struck

FRENCH AND RUSSIAN.
An Incident of the War Carried On
i'm the Crimea in 1855.

A story has lately been told by an old soldier
OF the French army as souvenir of the Grim
can war. 1t is one of the few incidents of the
war which would bear relating at the recent
festivals In France in honor of the Tevlslting
Russian naval officers and seam II, now the
firm allies of the French. In one OF the attacks
of the French left upon the Russian in the
neighborhood of Sebastopol the retreat was
sounded on both sides and the Russians retired
TO their fortress and the French 10 their
trenches. On the way French sergeant OF
the line encountered alone a Russian sergeant
also alone. The men were face 10 face and

Their guns were empty. simultaneously
they took cartridges from their pouches and

like IL others in that campaign, were muzzle-
leaders. The cartridges were forced TO place

by int1eXible disciuIine 10 do everything in 4
set way put his ramrod in Its place along the
barrel, while the Freuchman threw his away
with the movement that withdrew lt.
This gave him the needed moments advan.
tage over his antagonist. Clapping his gun
stock to his shoulder, he had the Russians life
in his hands. The Russian stopped still, await
ing the shot that should be his death. Then
The French sergeant dropped his gun from his
shoulder and put out bis right hand. The Rus

India Disturbed by Prophecy About

The ancient prophecy TO which reference has

widely by The Indian press, and is said to be

The CZaroWltZ in his account Of his recent

he declares to be proceeding without any sus-

the London Times says OF the prediction: at

Nor have we, AFTER some inquiry, been able to
discover reference TO it in any text belonging
to the classical Sanskrit period. The earliest
authentic notice has been traced no further
back than the Rewa-Khanda. a local sacred
poem In honor of the Narbada. Sixty years
ago Sir Henry Sleeman mentioned 1t IN his
! Journal as current in the Narbada region of the
Central Provinces. About the year 1880 Sir
Monler Monier- Williams heard good deal con-

FRANkING IN ENGLAND.
Some of the Privileges Members of
Parliament Used to Enioy.


Franking was one OF the privileges of men,
Der OF Parliament who might have his letters
delivered and had the right TO dispatch them
free of charge. Mr.. Hyde, In the Royal Mali,
says: Before the year 1864 members of Par
lament had m rely to write their names on the
covers TO insure their correspondence free
passage through the post. and packets of such
franks were furnished by members to their
friends, who laid them away for use as occasion
required. Nay, more, trade was carried on In
franks by the servants OF members whose prac-
tice & was TO SIX their masters to sign them In
great numbers at time.
at was even suspected, and probably with
sufficient reason, that fran4s were forged to
large extent, and, had postage been paid on all
the revenue would have been increased by
e170,O00. In the hope OF imposing some
greater check on the evil. II was enacted in
1863 that the whole superscription must be In
the handwriting OF the member"
1t must be remembered that there was then
a-days no handy envelope into which 10 slip
letter when written. Generally quarIo sheet
of paper was used the fourth page being lefs
blank. The TOD and bottom OF the sheet were
folded over, almost meeting; then the sides
were likewise folded over, one tucked into the
other, and the seal or water affixed. On the
other side about the siZe and shape OF an Or
binary business envelOpe) the address was
written in thu center, the name of post town
and the date the letter was posted above, and
the name of the member who franked IL In The
left-haud corner.
The whole OF this inscription, as we have
seen, had TO be In the handwriting of the men,
Der; the frank was only available on the date
named on the cover, and. If the superscriptiOn
