THE FIRST STRIKE.
The Earliest On Record Took Place
 About 1450 5. c.


 The earliest strike on record took place about 1450 B. C., or upwards of thirty-three centuries ago. Pharoah was building a new temple of Thebes. The masons received very little cash but quantity of provisions which the contractor thought was sufficient was handed to them on the first of the month. Sufficient or not, they mostly ate it before the time had elapsed. On one occasion many of them had nothing left quite early in the month, so they marched to the contractors house, be- fore which they sQuatted and refused to budge until justice was done. The contractor persuaded them to lay their distress tefore Pharoah, who was about to visit the works, and he gave them handsome supply of corn, and so all went on well for that month. The same state of things recurred by the middle of the next and for some days the men struck work. Various confer ences took place, but the men declined to 70 a stroke until they were given an other supply of food. They declared the clerks cheated them, used false weights, and so forth, familiar enough complaints in this country, under the truck system. The contractor not com plying with the.c demands, they march ed to the governor of the city, to lay their grievances before him, and he tried to get them to return to work with smooth words, but that was no use, and they insisted on having food. At last, to gst rid of them he drew up an order for corn on the public granary, and the strike was at an end.

Speaking of the "ethics" Of journal ism, what do you think of a newspaper that borrows of another newspaper sufficient material to enable it to en- large, and then. in the first edition of that enlarged paper roasts the other paper on the score of it's ''pretens:ons? Although it is making ready for it's bi- ennial effort to work the legislature the Gazette's manners are getting worse than ever.
