More and more the attention OF the
country, and even OF politicians, was
being drawn away from the South TO
the forces of change which we're play
ing through the whole nation, to the
determination alike Of policy and Of
party fortunes.
The four years Of Mr. Hayes term
in the presidency. with their restfu
discontinuance of party legislation. az
forded not only a time of calm in
which thoughtful men could look
about them, but also a clear stage
upon which 1t quickly became evident
that new scenes were being set
1t was significant that the first
summer of Mr.. Hayes reign OF peace
was marked by labor disturbances OF
ma magnitude and difficulty hitherto
unknown in America.
On the I4th Of July. 1877. strikes
began among the employees OF the Bal
timore and Ohio. the Pennsylvania, the
Erie. and the New York Central rail
ways, the chief trunk lines between
East and West which for a time as
sumed almost the proportions Of an
armed insurreCtion.
Thousands OF miners at the coal
mines OF Pennsylvania left their work
along with the railway men. until
there were presently. it might be, a
hundred thousand men not only idle,
but bent upon mischief also. deter
mined to hold the business Of the rail
ways at a standstiH and prevent at
all hazards the employment Of others
in their places.
! Not until troops OF the United States
had been called out to aid the militia
of the States was order restored and
the property of the railway companies
secured against pillage and destruc-
tion. Railway traffic had been held
still in a sort of paralysis for two
/ long weeks; property whose value was
estimated at ten million dollars had
been destroyed; and the country had
been given a startling demonstration
OF the power Of the labor organlza-
/ tions

the Platts5urg students were opposed to
pav for those who entered the camps
and the provision a : adopted. it is said,
comes nearer carrying out the Plstts-
burg camp idea, than the volunteer army
section OF the Senate bill.
This part of the bill is very elastic
IN that It gives the Secretary of War the
authority not only to prescribe the terms
Of the enlistment but the length Of the
period the camp shall be held. Thus
he can arrange the different camps to
suit local conditions and the Conven-
fence of the students. He is authorized to
use military reservation for the camp
and to assign regular officers and en-
listed men as instructors.

THE Thief.
I find that Unbelief
Is nothing but a thief
That robs me Of my sense
OF Gods rich providence;
That takes from me the light
The Heavens hold in sight
To lead my soul above
To realms of endless love;
That wrests from me the bays
That urge to higher ways,
And clouds the smiling face
OF Everlasting Grace,
To leave me in my stress
