educate them 30 that the fathers and moth
ers when old need not be brought down to
sorrowful graves by the knowledge of

ignorance. Because the workingman want
ed, when his shop was closed, to take his
wife and children and show them how
those who labor get no pay.


The speaker urged in favor OF an or
ganizatlon of lAboring men, and said that
the remedy could then be applied, after
the strength was massed together. The
present rights Of the workingmen had not
been given to them. Their motto should
be onward and upward. They could not
stand still. Either they must 70 forward
or else retrograde.

men have been asleep, and at present they
stand upon the edge Of degradation which
in six months, if continued, would make
hem on level with the serfs Of Russia.

A ludicrous case of mistaken iden-
tity occurred in Montreal, recently,
through the unfortunate resemblance
of two young gentlemen. One Of
them was recently married, and the
other is still bachelor. The mar
ried person went to a dinner party,
while the unmarried one went to q
conyiVial entertainment, and, owing
to a miscalculation Of his capacity
for wine, he spoiled the nights fun.
While a glimmer ofreason remained
he endeaYored to get home. By the
time the young man reached a cab
stand, his mind had become so con-
fused that he was unable to remem-
Der his own name or the street on
which he lived. As he was gestieu-
lsting to the cab-driver, o friend OF
the married mans noticed his plight,
and confounding his identity, push
ed him into a cab, whispered to the
driver and continued on HE way.
The result of this act was the CON
Yeyance of the unmarried man to the
home of the married man, where his.
condition created anything but a
pleasant surprise. The wife was of
course mortified. Subsequently the
fathsr-in.l law entered the room to re-
monstIate with him.-Aster wasting
much good advice the father-in-laW
discovered the mistake, and was en-
deavoring to persuade his daughter,
probably much against her will, that
the young man was not her husband,
when the real husband put an end to
the dispute by letting himself in the
hall door with latch key.

BARNUM's new Roman Hippodrome"
was opened in New York last week. The
building, which occupies the sites of the
old New Haven and Harlem Railroad
depots, presents in the interior bright
and cheerful appearance, and will ac-
commodate several thousand persons.
On the opening night. three elephants
hurried themselves along In trotting
race, with a ludicrous, trowel-like move
ment of the hind feet that provoked thun-
ders of laughter. Every now and then
one would trumpet out his anger under
the discipline of the goad in hollow
roar. In the race taken part in by three
young ladies in Roman chariots, that of
Miss Mile Kinlble came Into collision
with the inner rail and was brought TO
a stop, but was not injured. A herd of
Texan cattle were let loose in the course
and ran about like deers, pursued by sew
eral mounted Mexicans and Indians,
with lassos and the short-handled stock
whip used on the plains. Some were
lassoed, some were sent rolling over and
over on the ground by horsemen who
caught them by their tails as they DASH
ed past them, and some sought to escape
pursuit by clearing the inside rail with
a single bound and running desperately
about among the fountains and ether
costly adornmcnts in the center of the
course. Twenty-one horses were let loose
and perceptibly shook the earth as they
rushed by, goaded by jangling bells loose
ly attached, SO as to constantly strike
against their sides.

The latest marriage ceremony partak-
ing of wholesale character at Brigham
Young's Endowment House." in Salt
Lake City, is thus described by the Tfi-
bune of that City, of the 10Th inst: "The
bridegroom came from the rural dee
stricks' youthful saint, filled to over
flowing with the nurture and admonition
of the Prophet Brigham. His prophetic
soul informed him that it was not good to
be alone, that the dilapidated kingdom
sadly needed building up, that legions of
fugitive spirits were lowering about his
steps. seeking, with tears in their eyes,
earthly tabernacles in which to repose.
So he did the best he could under the cir
cumstanees. He selected three tender
fair ones, and won them for his brides.
Last Monday the quartet got married.
The thrice happy groom conducted his
bevy of brides to the Endowment House,
and the party got sealed on the wholesale
plan. Brother Wells was present at the
interesting ceremony, and the cookies of
his heart warmed toward the well-doing
saint. The President tapped the Bene-
dict upon the shoulder, invoked increase
upon his union, and assured him of Gods
blessing on SO devoted an act. The awk-
wardness of the situation was apparent
when the much-married saint attempted
to seal the nuptial ceremonies with kiss
all round. Each blushing bride persisted
in receiving the first salutation, and the
bobbing of heads was quite lively for q
while, The young man gave it up at last
and issued out into the wicked world
with an expression upon his countenance
which indicated that he had now got
business enough on hand to occupy al
| his leisure moments.

To those engaged in the work Of get
ting out q daily newspaper, says the
Baltimore AmeTicasa, the question as to the
number of hours that shall constitute
days work is theme in which they feel
no direct interest. They must commence
work when the work is ready for them,
and not stop until it is done. The old
rule of "from sunrise to sunset" would
be glorious relief TO them, and as 10
eight hours constituting a days work,
they would regard themselves as trans
formed to heaven of bliss. There are
few persons engaged in a newspaper Of
fee who work less than from twelve to
sixteen hours per day, and during the
winter season not less than ten of these
hours are by gaslight, closing st 8, 4, and

ing of 10000 to 1900 copies per hour,
have thus become essential to the rapid
delivery of the paper to the carriers and
news agents by this turning of night into
day. The telegraph, which formerly
closed before midnight, now ticks steadily
on night and day, and the newspaper
people must wait and watch for its tick
ing to the last possible moment. If the
newspapers do not, therefore, go into
spasms over the exciting question of linn
iting days work to a few hours of day
