This apparently grand institution, of which the people of the Pacific Coast had learned to entertain so many exalted opinions, has suffered reverse through the recent expos- ton which was made of its workings, before the California State Legislature. 4 bill in- troduced, providing for the relief of the in- stitution was warmly opposed by NIT. Spencer who showed, in a manner sufficiently satisfac- tory to enforce conviction, that the Employ ment exchange is fraud on the public, and is supported in the interest of Freidlander and his friends; that it is but place of as. signation to which no respectable person will apply for employment; and that its reports have all been frauds, containing only the merest coloring of truth. The result of this showing was to defeat even consideration of the bill and to place the Labor Exchange in very unenyiable light indeed.

Full of sad and weeping eyes,

WOMEN AS BANK CLERKS IN SWEDEN
The opening up to women Of new modes of
employment has found a. development in
Sweden which it has not yet reached in our
country. In the Enskilda Bank of Stock
holm women have been employed as clerks
for the last seven years, and their work has
given entire satsfaction to their employers.
The Enskilda Bank was established in Stock"
holm in 1858, and has, as its London agent,
the London and Westminster Bank. The
system under which the bank is managed is
that adopted in the Scottish banks; and a
remarkable circumstance connected with the
establishment of the Enskilda Bank is that
its founder was man who had spent bis
early life and seen service in the Swedish
Navy. Among the innovations which he
introduced, none was more startling than
that of engaging two young ladies of excel
lent education and good social position as
bank clerks. These ladies did their work so
we'll that others have been engaged to fill
similar posts, and all are still employed in
the work.

Excuse me, Nellie, darling,


I've loved you long and well,
Then let me keep this little hand
Nor all my hopes dispel
love you more than all the world

But words are weak when words would speak
You know how it is yourself.

Her shy glance upward thrown

Adams, that "taxasion and representation
are inseparable. " From every hill and dale
arose the echo of that noble sentiment taught
by Patrick Henry, "that resistance to ty-
rants is obedience to God" Under such cir
cumstances is it not to be wondered that
they should decide to present even one more
petion to the king in the vain hope that their
wrongs might yet be redressed or shall we
think it strange that on meeting with disap-
pointment in this respect that they should
determine to resist even by force of arms, and
accordingly pass resolutions in favor of organ
izing an army. This they did. and thus
consequently war was begun which proved
sangune and cruel.

My eager lips have poured, and deign to hear
This last appeal, nor turn my love away.

Unmoved-aud so make all my pleading vain
Since all my idle speeches to recount

The Rocky MOUNTAIN GoAT.-A family of
these rare animals have been c'ptured in
Montana. The Deer Lodge Independent
gives the following interesting description


This animal is caught alive by pursuing it
with hounds until it is compelled to climb the
steep rocks or precipices, which it invariably
does when closely pursued The hounds
being unable to follow, the hunter ascends to
above or just over, from which he loops his
lariat over the creatures neck. Its habits,
as far as known, shows that it crawls under
lodges of rocks, where it hides, making it
difficult to distinguish it from from the snow
which surrounds its haunts. The height of
male full grown is thirty-threc inches on
the wthers, which rise up like hump on a
buffalo. Its average weight in condition is
270 pounds. The hair or fleece, which is of
a soft and silky texture, is pure white. The
horns are spiral, slightly bent backwards, are
black and smooth, sharp-pointed and are
about ten inches long. Behind each horn is
a musk bag, resembling the human eye when
closed. The scent is quite delicate and free
from rank odor. In general appearance the
male and female resemble each other, except
the female is smaller than the male. The
fleece on the animal reaches to the knee and
its length is about three inches. The legs
below the knee hook appear as though clip
ped. The face is long and narrow, showing
side whiskers, with no beard under the chin.
The countenance is wonderfully expressive,
with great gravity of expression. 1t shows
considerable intelligence, and is rapidly be-
coming tame and accustomed to captivity.
1t is more pugnacons than timid.

We get, in the Code, many good provi-
sions which have long been needed but asked
in vain-among them law requiring uni
form ballots at elections. Each ticket must
be twelve inches long and four inches wide,
so that it may be folded four times. All
tickets are to be alike; to mark any ticket
is a criminal offense, and it is not permitted
for any person to show by his ticket how he
votes. 1t is further provided that tickets
shall not be distributed within one hundred
feet of the polling place, nor within that dis
tance shall the voter show, by opening or
otherwise, how he votes. Tickets must be
free from every mark or device by which
they can be distinguished. This will put an
end to such disgraceful proceedings as those
at Vallejo at the last electon.-S. F. Post.

THE SPIDERS BRIDGE.-One chilly
day was left at home alone, and after
/ was tired of reading Robinson CrusOe
! caught a spider and brought him into
the house to play with. Funny kind of
playmate, wasn't it? Well, | took a
wash basin and fastened up a stick i'm it
like n liberty pole or vessels mast,
and then poured in water enough to
turn the mast into an island for my
spider, whom / named Crusoe, and put
on the mast. As soon rs he was fairly
cast away, he anXiously commenced
running round to find the road to the
mainland. He'd scamper down the
mast to the water stick out foot, get
it wet, shake it, run round the stick and
try the other side, and then run back up
to the top again. Pretty soon it became
serious matter with Mr.. Robinson,
and he sat down to think il over. As
in a moment he'acted as if lie wanted
to shout for a boat, and was afraid he
was going to be hungry, put a little
mOlasses on the stick. \ fly came, but
Crusoe wasn't hungry for flies just then.
He was hOmesick for his web in the
conner of the woodshed. He went
slowly down the pole to the water and
touched it all round, shaking his feet
! like pussy when she vets her stockings
in the grass, and suddenly a thought ap-
peared to strike him. Up he went like
rocket to the top and commenced
playing circus. He held one foot in the
air, then another, and turned round two
or three times. He got excited and
nearly stood on his head, before found
out what he knew, and that was this,
that the draught of air made by the fire
would carry a line ashore on which he
could escape from his desert island. He
pushed out web that went floating in
the air, until it caught on the table.
Then he hauled on the Toap until it was
| tight, struck it several times to see if il
was strong enough to hold him, and
walked ashore. thought he had earned
his liserty, so l put him back in his
woOdshed again.-Hcdh and Home.

Here they were interrupted by the
return Of Cordelia, carrying in her arms
her favorite eat. Dropping him care
fully upon a soft cushion, she drew out
little table, and seating herself beside
it, said:


"Now, girls, L am mistress of cere-
monies-at least so you have been try

opinion about the trimmings, so come

Here let us leave them for the rest of

we find Blanche in quite gleeful spirits,
looking almost as cheerful as her. cousin,
upon whose heart care and trouble had

The custom of taking q bridal trip
seems to have been derived from the


birds, though no improvement upon
their fashions, which is rather q court
ship tour than n wedding journey.
Theirs is not a lonely, dually, selfish
affair, but the joyous migration Of happy
hOcks, where the fluttering, eOquetting
young folks are matToniZed and patron
lied by the steady old couples, who keep
out an indulgent but ever-watehful eye,
to see that cOquetry shall not degenerate
into Irritation, and are ever ready to adj
minister an admOnitOry peck or flap to
any young scapegrace of either sex who
shall show disposition to trifie with
the affections of another. But when
cOurtship has given place to marriage,
there are no more frOlicsOme journeys,
but a general sitting down to the seri-
Gus concerns of life, anxious searchings
for and consultations about the location
of their future home. In these, Mr.
Robin gives it as his opinion that the
cherry tree, being excellent foraging-
ground would be the best spot for their
nest; but Mrs. Robin declares that cher
ries attract too many savage red squir-
rels to make it safe place of abode.
so they finally decide upon the heart of
the low, thick lilac bush, as being near
the house where crumbs are plenty, and
having neither fruit nor height TO tempt
those rampaging squirrels who have no
sort of conscience, and prefer pretty blue
eggs TO any other kind of diet, the
shameless things! Then follows the
happy nest-building, the wearisone sea-
son OF Matching, and the toilsOme time
of filling the ever-empty, craving
mouths of those ugly, rapacious young
sters, who will i'm time grow pretty and
venturesome, and must be taught to use
their weakly ambitious little wings.
And all this while the happy, loving
ways of Mr. and Mrs. Robin are most
delightful to see. But from the mating
day we do not find them talking of


aerial voyages, until after their children


are fairly launched in life; though


trip to Canada would cost them moth
] ing-no railroad tickets to buy, no eX-


tortionate haekmen to pay, nor long

/ ried who will take the tyFannical Gus
/ tomary wedding trip this season, now

Beriah Brown, editor Of the Seattle
Dispatch, had the good fortune to be
Intimately acquainted with the late
Horace Greeley, some forty years ago.
In late number of his paper he gives
to the public the following interesting
details of his early intercourse with the
departed philosopher, author and edi-
tor:


More than forty years ago we were an
apprentice in a printing Office in Erie.
Pennsylvania. One day at that time n
boy apparently about sixteen years of
age, though nearly twenty, came to the
Office in search of employment. Amore
unattractive or unprOmising snecimen
of humanity could rarely be met with.
His unkempt hair was the color of tow;
his face perfectly colorless and as mex
presslve as lump of dough; his speech
winning and stammering from excess
OF bashfulness, and his dress in 5eeDinp
with his person-coarse blue cotton
roundabout and trousers, blue stockings.
brogans, and cheap felt hat. He had
white swelling upon one leg, which
was not then cured, and which crippled
him for life, giving him painfully
awkward gait, and, upon the whole, a
more pltlable object we never saw, or
one which appealed more powerfully to
our unsOphisticated sympathies. When
he had goneaw disappointed in his ap-
! plicatiOn for work, he was the subject of
much jOcular comment in the office
upon the style of boys seeking to be-
come printers, the proprietor iokinglv
proposed to employ him if we would
sleep with him. We took him at his
word, and went in pursuit of the forlorn
boy, with the chivalrous purpose of
taking him under ourspecial protection
at all hazards, but found he had already
engaged with Mr.. Sterrett, of the Erie
Gazette, at ten dollars a month for a
year. We did not, however, surrender
the care of our prOtege, several years
our senior, but instituted ourselves his
champion against the ridicule of all the
printer boys in the town, and a more
grateful, and faithful and affectiouate
/ friend we never found through life
When he had faithfully served out the
year for which he had been engaged
with Mr.. Sterret, no offer could induce
him to renew the engagement; he had
determined TO go to New York to seek
| his fortune. With the savings of his
years wages he bought his father q
/ yoke of steers with which to clear up
and cultivate forty acres of hemlock
land OH the then wild borders of Penn
sylvania, in Chatauqua county, bought
] himself new suit of clothes at a cost of
less than ten dollars, and started on foot
for New York, with but five dollars in
his pocket, and actually reached his
destination, partly on foot and partly on
canal boats, keeping his travelling ex-
penses within his means, with few
shillings left when he arrived in the
city.

TEA DRUNRARDs.-Dr. Arlidge, one
Of the pottery inspectors in Stafford
shire, has put forth a very sensible pro-
test, says the Lancet, against very
pernicious custom, which rarely receives
sufficient attention, either from the
medical profession or the public. He
says that the women of the working
classes make tea a principle article of
diet instead Of an occasional beverage;
they drink it several times a day, and
the result is lamentable amount of
sickness. This is no doubt the case,
and, as DIR. Arlidge remarks, a portion
of the reforming zeal which keeps up
such fierce and bitter agitation against
intoxicating drinks might advantage
ously be diverted to the repression of
this very serious evil of tea tippling
among the poorer classes. Tea, in any
thing beyond moderate quantities, is as
distinctly narcotic poison rs is opium
or alcohol. 1t is capable of running the
digestion, and of generally shattering
the nerves. And it must be remem-
bered that not merely is it question OF
narcotic excess, but the enormous guam
tity of hot water which tea biblers nee
essarily take is exceedingly prejudicial,
both to digestion and nutrition.
