EXTENT OF MILL ACTION.
On January Sd the reduction took ef-
feet in mills employing about 5000 hands.
The reduction to-day affected the cotton
mills Of Maine, Rhode Island, and Con-
necticut, the mills of New Bedford,
Lowell and a large number of smaller
places in this State and New Hampshire.
the Lawrence. and probably the other
cotton-mills there, and in one or two
places elsewhere, Will make cut next
Monday.
The cut amounts to about 10 per cent.
i'm many places, but in several centres 1t
is II l-9 per cent, and even higher while
in a few small mills it is only about
per cent.
The New Bedford strikers will be sup
ported financially by the operatives in
other centres, and it is stated they are
prepared to hold out until spring. The
national organization OF textile unions
has also voted to support the New Bed
ford strike
1t is estimated that the reduction means
a loss Of between $4,000 and $500 a
week to the operatives, and the strikers,
If they remain idle even for short
time will swell this amount to a much
larger figure.

DEATHS PERUVIAN.

I am . ferryman, old and gray,
And the river Ia deep and WIDE
And whosoeer CROSSES by night or by day
Can never return, but forever and aye
Must remain ON the other side.
The waters are GOLD, and the current Is swift,
And tho mists hang heavy and chill,
And backward and forward they slowly drift.
with never a break, and they never lift.
Though they seem to he never still
The heavens are dark. and tho course IL long.
But my boat II stanch and true,
And the waves are rough, but my arm In strong,
And safely ferry the ghosty throng
To the shore, mist hidden from Wow.
All aro equal who cross with mo,
Beggar and millionaire,
Vassal and king and bond and FREQ,
Peasant and noble of high degree.
The maid and her lady fair,
The weary tolor who longs for rest.
Brave youth and manhood proud
Tho erring one with his sins confessed,
The sinless babe on tho mothers breast
And the mother with sorrow bowed.
Some ON their journey set forth alone
with trembling and anxious fears,
bome amid wailng, with sob and moan
And prayers that their Lives had never known
And heartbrealT and bitter tears.
Man brought naught into the world save death,
And naught can he take away;
Naked was he whom he first drew breath
And naked will be when he goes with death
On his silent. mysterious way.
DO all are equal whom death sets free.
To cross to the distant strand
And king and vassal and bond and FREQ.
Whether OF lowly or high degree,
Must all cross the river Of death with me
TO enter that unknown land.
