HARMONY.

FeDruary IL, 1875.
An unsuccessful attempt was made
to burn the large WOODEN mill, at this
place, last Thursday evening, a little
after II O'Clock. The mill, which is "a
large brick building, stands in the CELL
ire of our village and is owned by the
heirs of the late George w. Summers,
and has been standing idle for the
past twelve years. The tenant house is
occupied by Mr.. Harvey ID. Baker,
WHO discovered the fire. Noticing a
light in the mill he gave the alarm,
tily made All investigation. They dis
covered the fire on the second floor i'm
mediateIy under one of the card ma
chimes. The miscreant who started
the fire had gathered pile of rubbish,
which he coal-oiled well before he
started the fire. Mr.. Baker and party
managed to extinguish the fire just
as it commenced to burn the flooring.
About thirty of our young people
met at the residence of Mr.. Harvey ID.
Baker last Thursday evening, where
they held social party aud enjoyed
themselves until the wee small hours.
Those present pronounced the party a
grand success.
Mr.. Harvey Ridenour, assistant
teacher in our public school, failed to
make his appearance last week. Con-
sequently Prof. r. G. Harley, the prin-
cipal, has been Over-;rowded this week.
Friday, Prof. Harley started out as an
exploring party of one to hunt Mr..
Ridenour. He reported that the roads
would be opened sufficiently by Mon
day to allow Mr.. Ridenour to return
to his duties.
Our public roads are still in a deplor-
able condition owing to the snow
drifts, many of them being impossible,
The road from here to Middletown is
filled with snow from eight to ten feet
deep, and no attempt has been made
to open it.
The Harmony Coruet Band, of this
place, is hustling around trying to
raise funds to buy band wagon. The
band which was organized a year ago
is doing finely under the leadership of
Prof. Roger &. Harley, of Yellow
Springs. Your correspondent wishes
them success in their venture.
Miss Katie Bussard, who has been in
Ohio several years, has returned to this
place Whether she will stay with
us or not can not say.

labor unions Insist on uniform pay and
conditions for all workmen engaged In
the same labor Irrespective OF thelr
several capacities as workmca He
says that when payment is r.odc ac-
cording to the efficiency of the work
man, manufacturers have a way nf
stimulating their men by good prices.
and when a high standard of pruduc-
ton has been established, making this
the ordinary demand for days work,
and then cutting down wages The
workmen who have done best have
then merely helped to Increase their
own labor and to squeeze out all who
are not equally competent Thay are
not better off, while others have actu-
ally suffered from their industry and
energy. OF course the men retaliate by
learning to work slowly while securing
to exert themselves, so that Mr.. Tay-
lor thinks some of them habitually do
no more than one-third or one-quarter
what they can do. Mr.. Taylor looks
for the solution of the problem in the
much more general adoption of piece
work, and shows that workmen may
produce enough more than now to make
1t well worth while to pay them more.

have continued, has France still done
nothing with the Niger. although you
have many French explorers in Its
viclnity?" The French are very good
explorers, and, thanks to them, you
know perfectly the topography of the
country. But how many years will 1t
be before you know what there is up-
derneath? Surely there Is gold, surely
there is copal, perhaps diamonds, but
they have to be sought for. To-day the
French may despise the Soudan, but
the Soudan Is for them the means of
arriving at the Niger basin. which is a
marvellous garden provided with very
luxuriant vegetation and filled with
charming spots watered by countless
tributaries, which will pour into the
great river which is yours the immense
wealth of their banks"
In conclusion, Mr.. Stanley is reported
to have said 1.-THE French are still
engaged in the policy of annexation.
Explorers are constantly on the move,
but the time has now come to SCI to
work. You have established military
station at Timbuctoo, but that Is an iso-
lated post connected with mo point of
the French colony, The river is wait
Ing for the steamboat and the country

A LABOR PROBLEM.

Some hight is siled on the labor prob
lem by the practical annihi1ation of the
once prosperous shipbuilding business
on the Thames The demands of labor
have transferred the trade to the north
of England. Recently a meeting of
shipwrights was held at Poplar and res
olutions adopted asking the government
to give the Thames a. fair share of the
naval contracts. But even then there
was no hint of the willingness of the
workmen to accept wages at which 1t
would be possible to undertake con-
tracts. A writer in the London Stan
dard says: Unaccompanied by this, the
demand simply means that government
should give a subsidy for the benefit of
the classes employed in shipbuilding on
the Thames, or, in other words, that
the nation shall pay to re-establish the
business that has been killed by the fol-
ly of the men themselves. 1t is true
that there is cogency in the remark of
one of the speakers that it is a matter
of national interest that in case of
pressure the Thames should be able to
aid the north in turning out "a large
amount Of Shipping. And were the
workmen to agree to accept the same
wages as those with which the artificers
of the north are content, they would
have a strong case, for the difference of
the cost at which the materials could be
delivered here, or at the northern yards,
could make no very large addition to
the cost of the ships, and the advantage
gained by the nation from the existence
Of additional shipyards would be well
worth attaining, at the cost of that
slight addition to the price of the war
vessels. Until, however, the trades
unions consent to their members work
ing at provincial rates, they can hardly
hope that the country at large will
agree to tax itself in order to keep up
London prices.

Another Plea for the Elms.

TO tho Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Is 1t possible that no effort is to be
made to save our elms? Are the au-
thorities and citizens so blind to their
own advantage that they will allow a
beetle to undo the work Of years and to
strip our city of its browning beauty?
An ounce Of prevention Is worth a
pound of cure" A little work last sum-
mer would have prevented much dam
age. The beetle would not have OBJ
tanned such a foothold. What is needed
Is concerted action. One person alone
cannot protect his trees, for his negli-
gent neighbor will allow enough pupae
to enter the ground or hide in crevices
of the bark to hatch out sufficient bee
ties to ruin a hundred trees next sum
ner. Yesterday from one tree in front
OF my house In quarter of an hour I
killed with a bit Of broken slate a hun
dred worms lazily crawling down the
tree, and destroyed at least a half pint
of the pupae which I dug out of the
N. L
look like small Jumps of the hard boiled
yolk of an egg, and it is these which
enter the ground or hide in crevices and
come out in the spring in the form of
beetle, which flies to the top and laws
It's eggs on the leaf. Because the worm
does not dangle from the branch and
cover people as the horrid inchworm
did, they seem to be oblivious to the
fact that there is any damage being
done, and the gray worm escapes their
notice. But his work is far more dead
ly than that of any other known pest,
and yet its very habits render It easy
Of destruction. The trunk of the tree
should be scraped, the worms killed,
the pupae destroyed and the ground
around the tree treated with an emul-
sion of kerosene and soap. The receipt
Of the mixture was given in your article
published in the Journal and Courier"
July 10, How to Save the Elms" It
does no good to spray the trees after
the mischief Is done, but every pupa
destroyed, every worm killed as it
crawis down the trunk of a tree, de-
stroys beetle and prevents just so
many eggs being laid and worms hatch
ed next season. Keep up the agitation,
Mr.. Editor, until the authorities and
the people awake from their apathy
and do something in aid of our noble
giants. who have so long beautified our
city and whose loss will be irreparable,
at least in our generation. ]. T. K.

II H..

If some Of the distinguished "edu-
Gators temporarily connected with the
public schools of New Haven would
devote more of their time and energy
toA doing the work for the doing Of
which they are paid large salaries and
less of their time and energy to plot
ting against other equally or less dis
tlnguished educators associated with
them their connection with the public
schools of New Haven might not be
quite as temporary as it now bids fair
to be. And if the aforesaid distin-
guished Educators" are not educated
UP to the point where they cannot learn
any more, they might find some useful
instruction in that part Of the bible
which reads as follows: "Whoso dig

QUEER CUSTOMS OF SAMOA.
Native Picnics and Drinss which Are No
Nicely Made.

Native Picnics and Drinks which Are Not
Nicely Made.
One of the chief amusements in Sa-
moa, both among the natives and Eu-
ropeans, is going on a "malanga,"
which means practically a picnic of a
few days to a fortnight's duration,
says the Westminster Review. These
"malangas" are most frequently made
by boat, going round the coast from
village to village, carrying presents
for your hosts and receiving return
accommodation and entertainment
food and provisions being usually taken
by the ''malanga" party. A few days
may thus be passed very agreeaby at
any native village. Up at daylight,
one takes a swim within the protection
of the reef, where the water is compar-
atlvely shallow, and, therefore, free
from sharks of any dangerous size.
During the morning, If the heat be
not too great, one can go out with the
natives in their canoes to the reef,
watch them net or spear their fish,
which they do with great dexterity;
collect coral from the shadows inside
the outer reef and look down through
the clear water at the emerald and sap
phire-colored fish, the variegated coral,
the great black slugs so much appre-
ciated by the Chinese epicure, and all

Stanley Says So. and He Also Talks Abou
French Doings In Algeria.
The Paris Figaro publishes an account
of an interview which It's London corre-
spondent has had with Mr.. H. NJ Stan
ley on the subject of African COLOMBIA
tfon. Mr.. Stanley is represented to
have said in the course Of the interview:
THE future Of Africa belongs to those
who shall the soonest and the quickest
act on the simple truth that what is
wanted is railways to bring travellers
back In three days from the western
Soudan to Algeria. The construction Of
such railways would not cost more than
10000 francs per kilometer, and with
some Tirailleurs as an advance guard
the Tuaregs would leave the working
parties alone, When you have 1900
miles of navigable waterway on the
Niger-that is to say, almost the entire
commerce of that great river-then you
will have the ivory, copal, skins, gold,
India rubber, etc. There is, indeed, as
great wealth of resources in Africa as
In France, as has been proved by the
results obtained since 1925 by the Eng
lish In the south, where gold, diamonds,
and the rest to-day bring England in
l25, 000, coo francs a year.

WANTED. 4 SHoKr CAMPAIGN.

We are heartily with those who are
advocating a short political campaign
next year. September is early enough
to begin the shouting and singing. The
campaign orators can tell all they
know In a month and half, and some
of them wouldn't need even that much
time. The people don't need a cam
paign of education. II they haven't
been educated by what has already TAX
en- place their case is hopeless and the
only sensible move that can be made Is
the opening of a great national school
for imbeciles If they are kept stirred
up all next summer and fall they may
get tired and do some surprising things.
A short campaign will be a great saw
ing Of time, trouble and money. Prob
ably most of the voters have already
made up their minds what they are
going to do when they get chance.
About all the really effective work that
can be done is the teaching of new
voters how to read a line or two Of the
English language. That can be done
without great campaign excitement. A
month and half or two months is long
enough for the grand climax. Long
campaiige iiiiss are often pathetic.
