GETTING AWAY FROM HOME.
The Spirit Of Restlessness and the De-
sire for Change.

From the London Spectator.
Judging by good deal Of the CONVERSE
ton of the present day. there are a large
number OF people who have a positive hor-
ror of home. This curious revulsion of
FEELING is taken by many persons as a sign
OF deterioration. For our own part we find
1t difficult to take 1t quite seriously or to
see In It anything more than a passing
within.
Nobody nowadays likes monotony. Change
Is what people desire-not perhaps any
great change: but lots Of small change;
not necessarily for the better but for its
own sake. Now. there is a great sameness
about ones four walls, be they ever so
handsome. We all feel at times an ove--
towering oesre to look at something else
We cannot change the patterns or the pic
lures on them every day, and neither they
nor the home furniture ever seems to alter
in expression.
Again. there is terrible sameness about
ones own CT ok. Experience enables us to
foretell the taste for every .hinE at home.

for dining out. and, this being the case, 1t
is not easy sometimes to think what to

Nowadays we get. socially speaking, tired
Of our friends and even Of our acquaint-
ances We want them to pass continually
before us like street procession Instead
OF that they rather resemble a stage crowd

those we should like or should he likely to

this latter limit Is disregarded. The bar

those who are acquainted with one another
should speak Is sufficient to protect our

men marched by the President and his
guests the two days Of the review. May %
and "a. The Army Of the Potomac num-
bered 10000 men, the Army of Tennessee
numbered $4,000 men and the Army of
Georgia numbered $1,000. An idea OF
the magnitude of the Union forces
may be gained from the fact that it
is stated in May. 1855, more than a
million of men were in tho service
Of the United States. A still larger num-
Der had been enrolled and discharged dur
ing the four years the conflict waged. To
these should be added another mighty host

The passing OF these 10000 men in grand

REGARDING HACK RATES.
Suggestion of Raise From 75c. to 81
Per Hour.

A petition was recently presented to the
District Commissioners requesting that the
hack rate for passenger vehicles be raised
from 10 cents to 81 an hour. The petition
ers state that their vehicles are in the best
condition, and that the service rendered is
as good as they can make it. In view of
all the facts they do not think the present
rate of compensation is sufficient, and for
that reason especially they ask that it be
raised. A. r. Lamb the hack inspector, In
a report upon the petition, states that he
has favored the raise in hack rates for
some time, and calls attention to the views
expressed in his last annual report to the
superintendent Of police.
Major Sylvester. chief Of police, in for
warding the report to the Commissioners,
says he believes the change could be made
without detriment to the public, and he re-
CARDS the increased charge necessary in
view Of the larger cost of forage for horses.
The recommendations of the police depart
ment have been approved by Commissioner
Macfarland and forwarded to Col Biddle
for ms action.

BOILER MAKERS STRIKE.
Fifteen Hundred Men Quit Work in
Chicago.

CHICAGO, August BOILER makers and
ship builders and their helpers, to the
number of 1850. employed in contract and
Job shops in this city. struck today be-
cause the Master Boiler Makers Associa-
tion refused to concede demands made
upon them. The principal demand is in
crease in the wage scale of the boiler
makers from 30 cents an hour to 30 cents
for inside work and 80 cents for outside
work Helpers and heaters also ask for
increases.
Other demands are: Recognition of the
union; nine-hour day inside and eight-hour
day outside; double time for holiday work
and time and one-half for overtime
The Master Boiler Makers Association
has offered to concede an advance of per
cent, but its officers say it IS impossible to
grant all the demands of the union.
1t is feared the strike will tie up all work
in the branches affected.
Before noon today it was reported by
union officials that hundreds of boiler
makers are leaving Chicago to seek work
In adjacent cities. Practically all work at
boiler shops has ceased, and hardly any
repairing or work on smokestacks is in
operation. Employers predict that the
strike Will kill the boiler making business
in this city. Already, they declare, other
cities can secure workmen at much cheaper
wages than are now paid here, and as a
consequence work is being diverted in
their favor.

AMERICA IN DIPLOMACY.
Growing Importance of Washington in
Worlds Affairs.
From the London Spectator.

From the LondOn Spectator.
America begins to weigh heavily In diplo-
macy. 1t seemed as If the European pow
ers were determined to keep their hold on
Tien Tstn, even Great Britain unwillngly
consenting in order to maintain their &C
cord. The government of Washington, how
ever. protested. Mr.. Hay negotiated with
the ambassadors in Washington, and it is
now announced that Tien Tsin will shortly
be evacuated and handed over to the Chi
nese upon their own terms. The decision
will in many quarters be considered weak;
but ii is. We are convinced, a wise one
1t is frlendliness that Europe now wants
of China, and it was impossible for the gov
ernment of Pekin to be friendly while Eu-
rope leveled a pistol at it's head. One spe-
cial demand-abandoned, of course, with the
city-that no Chinese soldiers should ap-
proach Tien Tsin within thirty miles, was a
continuous insult which We may be sure
must have excited in the most arrogant
court In the world many ideas of future
and comprehensive vengeance. The precau-
ton involved in keeping the city was, too,
of no practical use, for the Chinese govern
ment has learned that it can fly from the
foreigner without being pursued, and with
out losing Its authority among it's own sub
jects. The possession of Tien Tsn only
facilitates march to Pekin, and an occu-
patton Of Pekin with its court far away Is
of no more value than an occupation of any
other city in the empire.
