AN ARMY oE IDLE MEN.
Nearly 100000 Wage Earners in Ne
York City are Out of Work.

Nearly 100000 Wage Farmers in New
York City are Out of Work.
New York, Dec. 21.-According to
the World, of the 2S7,s workers in
this city, the records show that 92,O75
are out of work Last year at this
time 1876, 375 were idle.
Ernest Boehm, secretary of the Cen
tral Labor union, estimates that fully
100000 persons are in enforced idle
ness now. This estimate is probably
very near the truth, for if to the 92, 900
shown to be idle by the Worlds figures
be added the many clerks, bookkeepers,
accountants, etc., who are seeking
work. the total would surely reach
100000
Comparison shows that so far as the
number of unemployed is concerned
the situation is marked improvement
over that of year ago. More men by
the thousands are at work. This is
particularly true OF men engaged in
the building trades. Within several
years there has not been so much
building as now. The increase of en-
ployment has come for the most part
to skilled labor. The only striking in
crease in unskilled labor has been in
the ranks of laborers on streets and
for contractors.

membership are offered for sale at the

The opinion is expressed at the de-

will, after interesting large numbers
of persons in it, cease operations. No

The women saw them. too, and,
throwing on whatever lay in reach in

train. The old negress. still telling her
story, went with the two women and
helped them into the caboose. Now the
two robbers who had ridden through
the orchard saw the trainmen and i'm
mediately opened fire. The conductor
and the brakeman, walking backward,
kept the desperadoes back, killing one
of their horses. just as the trainmen
reached the caboose the conductor was
shot and fell near the rail. The rest of
the band had come to the rescue Of
their comrades, and now the lead was
raining upon the side of the car. The
brakeman, having dropped his gun,
stopped to lift the conductor aboard,
but he could not do it. Now this deli

thing heavier than riding whip, helped
the brakeman to life the limp form of
the conductor into the car, while the
bullets rained around her. When they
had laid him upon the locker, the young
woman lifted his head and held ii i'm her

the conductor died.-N. Y. Sun.

Last Night of Southern Soldier on
the Battlefield.
"Donit leave me, captain! Oh, don't
leave me!"-words that came to me
with an agonized shriek from bleeding
and dying confederate soldier on the
evening of the great battle Of Malvern
Hill, July 1, 1862. He, a mere youth of
II years, lay in heap, gasping for the
breath which was fast leaving him,
along with the rays Of sunlight, on that
sad and memorable day. l, for whom
that piteous cry was meant, was staff
officer Of the brigade to which the Lou
isiana regiment, the soldier boys regi-
ment, was attached.
Well mounted, l was galloping back
across that bloody field to report the
duty l had performed, when suddenly
arrested in my course by the voice OF
despair and woe, coming from my
stricken comrade. The day was fast
passing away into darkness, darkness
that seemed to enshroud this valley of
death. The terrific cannonading on
both sides that had lasted for hours
from the surrounding hills (Malvern
Hill being the central point of attack
by the confederates) was supplemented
by the booming of artillery and burst
ing of shells from the gunboats on the
adjacent James river.
Nature seemed to revolt at this scene
of blood and carnage. Thunder and
| lightning and an avalanche of rain came
in quick succession with such gneat
force as to cause the stoutest heart to
quake. This great battle was the
seventh days fight to capture the city
of Richmond. 1t was not an ordinary
battle, but demons fight, and the final
encounter between these two giants Of

there are 727, 100 survivors of the war
now living, including widows.

the engineer would ask the brakeman

conductor sat in the caboose, where
an operator was working, expecting or

were getting the better of the Yanks.
Once, when the engineer went down
the track into the pine forest, he saw
band of bushwhackers riding leisurely
through the wood in the direction of
Shady Rill. These were not men of the
north nor yet of the south. They were
marauders, murderers, masquerading
as soldiers, and equally dangerous to
each army. The engineer told the con-

q couple Of muskets and one of the
brakemen, the captain put himself into

better than remaining at the run to
