run 'rnUE waaanxsss OE‘ruE s'r'nurE. ,
1 went up to Lbdlow' Street jail, last week,
to see Donahue, the leader of the s‘t‘rik'crs on
the Erie Road. He is a man of considerable
'ntelligence, and was fittedby nature for‘ a
leader. He is not one of the kind who want
their employers to divide with them, but he
does insist that business shall be so adjusted
that .the operative can live in something like
comfort. Donahue says~ that ' the average.
that the then make is from $25 To $30'pc'r
month, and that the cost of livingin Hornells-
ville is higher than in New York. For in-
ttucc, flour is from $10.501to $11 ; butter,
-:2 cents; beef, 23 cents; brown‘sugar, 12
cents; coffee 38 and 40 cents, and any de-
centtea ”from _80 cents to $1.25 a; pound.
llents. are ‘tenrihlejllighljherc.,1 , $25 penmonth
is extortcd for common frame houses of from
eight to ten small rooms. Those_who, when
wages were. better, 'had, Dll|f¢hll$€d "property,
were losing it, by the reduction ; and what
ground them more, the imam been
screwed down .to sucha point that; a work-
man under the best;cireumstsnc,es was idebark'
rod from everythingof special-nature. ”He ,
«.ould not take‘newspapers'or buy‘a‘ book, he
could not pay dues to a lodge or a church, or
so dress his wife and chiidren-ihat; they—could
attend church orLanything -'elscr~improvin‘g.
The company had even gone so far as to
charge the employees with rent for the waste
'and beside thevtrack, which were formerly al-
lowed them as a perquisite._ Denahue admits
that the strike was a failure," but" says ”that
some good will grow out of it.
, rm; TROUBLE IS NOT YET oven,
:‘or there can be no doubt that the wOrking-
menare. suffering, and that ._ the fcomfianifis
have netdealt’iwith the question'in a liberdl
spirit. .; It is true that the “mus "are. making.
nothing} and; thlit' 'lhe' s'tockéhohi "r's' are mu-
sing their regular dividends, but that it is so
is the fault of the management. If they
would keep' up freights tO'a paying figure in-
stead of cutting each otlfer's throats, and more
especially if they would drop all nonsense in
style, ,ctitdo'w'n. th'e'salaries of their officers:
:llld inaugurates system of economy in the
management, there could be enough of a sav-
ing to make up for the loss by reason of hard
times. The werkingman whose wages were
$35 a month, doesn’t like to be cut down to
$30 when the higher grade of officials are
voting themselves their old salaries. It is
very bad economy to squeeze the great mass
of men who were getting little enough before.
THE EFFECT OF TIIE STRIKE UPON BUSINESS
was terrible. There was. an enormous dc-
struction of goods by the infuriated mass,
which made interruption in' trade, and instant
ces of severe loss are coming to light every-
where. One western brewer has been three
years introducing his beer into New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore; he had
spent hundreds, lof“thousands of dollars, to
create his trade and had it working smoothly.
His shipments were caught in the jam at
Buffalo and Pittsburg,‘ some cars remaining a
week. In the meantime, his stock'being ex-
hausted, other brewers stepped in, and now
he has his work all to do Over again, or aban-
don it. There were thOusands Of car-logads
of perishable goods allowed to stand for 'ten
days, and the goods that were not perishable
were so plundered as to be almost a total loss.
The action of the companies in cutting down
wages and the method of the strikers‘in seek-
ing redress has ‘cost't-hc-country millions up?
on millions of dollars. The direct loss can
be ascertained—the indirect will never be
known.
_ , IN THE CITY
the lilbor troublesare not settled, and trouble
is certain to come. The busy season is half
over, and employment has been so scarce
and wages solow that the workingmcn have
not a dollar ahead for the coming winter, and},
they are organizing for some p'umoi.;'. The;
coal-dockers have already struck, and are
making trouble. The wives of the strikers
are more bitter than their husbands; find are
more determined to hold out. If}; iniin‘shows
any symptoms of yielding, the women assault
him, and as they can’t strikequmau, they
are at asad disadvantage.“ Thé’feeling is ex-
tending among all classes of working-men,
and there is no doubt but there will be wild
work here within the month. The railroad
engineers are driving everything in their pow-
er to swell the flood and the Communists
are as busy as bees. Look out for some ugly
work very soon.
TllE LIQUOR DEALERS
are having trouble. The enforcementof the
excise law has been put in the hands of cap-
tains of police, and they are going 'for the
rum~mills severely. Last wéek Over'two hun-
dred arrests were made,.and there was trou-
ble. Such a thingr'hadine‘vcr'been done _be-:'
fore l The shops were entered, and if the
proprietor did not have ~alicen’se ’he' was sum-
marily arrested, no matter what time of the
afternoon it was. Very many were taken. in,
when it was too late to prOcure bail, and had
to languish all night in the Tombs. The move-
ment is being made at the instance: of the
temperance alliance, the object being to so
harass and worry the liquor dealers as to
oust all but the strongest, and to .makc their
continuance a very expensivezaffair' to them.
The movement thus far has been directed
against the bucket-shops, to make the sale of
liquor to the poor unpleasant. The best men
in the city are behind it, and there has been
a feeling created that makes it fOf-midable.
The work is going right along, with cords of_
money and any amount of influence behind it.
The societies are all very active, and the
temperance people are in earnest. U
CRIME
has been running rampant during the last-
month. Three men hive killed their wives
~two because they did not like them, and
one because he desired to marry arich woman
determined, apparently,to make money some
way. Bar-room fights are as common as mos-
quitoes, and to diversify thcghastly panora-
ma, three wifcs have killed their husbands.
There have been two case's ,of men killing
women because they would not marry them,
and a dozen or—two for no; cause whatever.
One man, a German, killed his wife, three
children and himself, because he had been
out of work two months, and had come to
the end of his resources, and was too proud
to see his'children begging. One Frenchman
was nearly at the end of his string,financially,
in March, and determined to commit suicide.
He took stock, of what; he had, andcalctilated
how long it would support, him. He"‘paid
his board to August 5th, that being all he
‘Polonaiscs will be more worn in the fall than
princesse dress will still be ruling styles for
brains out. He wasteneh to the last. 110
left a note to his landlord, saying that he did
it to avoid trouble. He preferred death to
running up a board bill which he had no
means 05 haying. The boarding house keep-
ers of New York wish there were more like
him. The excessive heat has something to
do with this epidemic of crime, but the hard
times more. A man With a family, who can
get nothing to do, has very little to live for.
FASHIONS.
Nothing is seen on the street but broad
brimmed hats of rough straw, faced with
black velvet, turned up on one side, with a
plain'outsidc trimming of band and plume.
The dressesfiecn are the palest and thinnest
wool matcria s, sky-blue for young ladies,
the lightest shadowy gray for quieter ones,
and the inevitable black grenadine for elderly
ladies, robes made airy with thin pleating and
quillin‘gs of French lace. Insertions of em-
broidered grenadine alsO’ come to suit the
Breton fancy. This, by the way, is having
the last Of its run, and liandsOmc suits cm-
broidered in white on blue cloth, which ' in
the spring brought $50, are now marked $18.
they are just now, when ladies prefer the
freedom of the basque suit, of which the up-
per waist can always be changed to a white
sacquc for coolness. The polonaise and the
the next change of fashion. PIE‘l‘IlO.

, A letter has justbecn receivcd'in Norwalk
from Mrs. Helen 'A., wife of ”Rev. II. S. Bar-
num, Who is a native of Norwalk, and a
member of the First Congregational church.
It is dated “Island"of Akhtamar, Lake Van,
June 8th, 1877,”:an is a reply to a. letter
written by one‘of the Ladies’ Missionary As-
sociations assuring her of their earnest Christ-
ian sympathy and, prayers for her family,
'soi‘ely 'bereavcd, and for the mission at Van.
She says: “In these troublous and uncertain
times, wc look upon every letter that comes
love shown us by the kind Father; and such
assurances of earnest prayers offered up in
our behalf are more precious to us than all
silver and gold; especially just now when
we so much need such rich blessings of spir-
ilual strength and courage. Yes, 'we are'in the
Lord's hands, and were there ever so strong.
so lovmg as His outstretched to guide and
protect? What a refuge He is! And how
safe we feel in the midst of terrors that are
all about us! ‘Thou shalt not be afraid for
the terrors by night, there shall no evil befall
thee neither shall any plague come nigh thy
dwelling.’ ,What a promise! and we have
proved it true. It seems as if we are literally
shut up to-the Lord, for another can help us'
now." ‘ ' ” " »
We quote so much to show in what perfect
'peacc they are kept whose hearts are stayed
on God. . The letter is long, and gives a full
account of their discussions: and action in
viewof the advice of the English Consul of
ErerOm, on one side, and of Missionary
'fi'ien‘ds at’Ooroomiah, in Persia, on the other,
to flee to them ; and of their reasons for stay-
ing solong in Van, made necessary in part
bysickness and death, sustained by the prom-
iscd protection of their ”new and really ex-
cellent pasha," who gave them three police
officers, to stay in their house by day and by
night, one of them accompanying either mis-
sionary in going abroad. But when the sav-
age Khoords, lawless and terrible, fearing
none ”but their Sheikhs, filled Van, at one
time to the number of 4,200, it was said, rob-
bing and committing all acts of violence, es-
pecially upon Christians,—though the mis-‘
sionarics as yet were unmolested,—it was
finally thought best that a portion of their
number should take to their boats, which
they did and spent three weeks cruising
around, after. which which the ladies and
children embarked (while the gentlemen re-
mained, by the “stuff”) and found a tempor-
ary refuge on the. island named, a small but
beautiful one, commanding grand and lovely
views, on which is a monastery whose chapel
is said to be 1300 years old, and which is the
residence of the Catholicos, a bishop, and
some twenty vartabeds, who received and
treated the missionaries with great kindness
in many ways—But we forbear.——Relzjqz'ous
Herald.
A railroad engineer at Syracuse puts the
case very forcibly: “Suppose we should
strike now and be out of work a month, and
at the end of that time the company should
give in and let us have ten per cent. advance
——how much would wcmake on that deal?‘
During the month of strike and idleness I
should lbsc over 3580‘ to start with. Some
might think that a high figure, so cut it down
to 8360. How long will it take m to make
up that $60 which I have lost by" e strike
recoveringtbc ten per cent. advance which
the strike might gain for me? Oh, I’ve fig-
ured this thing all out. I should be just for—
ty weeks or nearly a whole year trying to
make up what I lost by one month’s idlenessl.
That is on the supposition that we come out
ahead. If we don’t come out ahead, Striking
time is a dead loss, and if we do come out
ahead it takes nearly a whole year before I
make up what I lose. I say excuse me from
striking l” I i I
It is reported that Clara Louise-Kellogg,
desirous of advancing musical education in
this country, intends to assist in establishing
young ladies. .' :She will devote to this object
the'pi'Oceeds‘Of'hei‘ coming California engage-
ment with. Max Strakosch.’ According to
the programme, all the pupils will be ‘under
her personal supervision. Professors of the
highest musical merit in every branch of the
int will be employed. and harmony, composi-
iion, vocal and instrumental music will be
taught. There is said to be little doubt that
thisimost-laudable scheme will be carried out
and that the long-talked-of conservatory will
be finally founded. '
Personally Commodore Vanderbilt was not
very pious. He used to garnish his speech
he was-_sOund on the Sunday question. He
was trained a Moravian, and the principles
that- made the VVesleys what they were made
the Commodore ‘externa‘lly'a Sabbath keeper.
A stock operator, who at one time took. tick-
ets on the Staten Island Ferry, thought it' a
mce thing to drive his four-in-hand up Fifth
avenue on Sunday as the crowd were going to
church. He did not live on that avenue, and
he could have gone to the park for' a drive
Without interfering with the church-going
population. But that did not suit his pur-
pose. . Hephad money, did not care for God
or man, and was willing the world should
know It. His huge carriage looked as if
both; fOrthe band of a circus. He filled it'
with‘lady‘ friends. He sat 'on the box with a
huge bouquet in his button~holc as large as a
cauliflower. Turning his horses up Fifth
avenue be cracked his whip and drove thun-
dermgly ‘along, attracting attention just as
the churehgoers were entering their places
of worship. . Somebody told. the Commodore
claimed with some temper: “That fellow is
a fool. If he wanted a quiet drive on the
park he could take it; but if he has no more
regard for public sentiment than that he will
go under.” And under he did go, and his
spanking team was knocked down at auction
to an cxpressman.

Every sign of business improvement is
eagerly welcomed now-a-days. We' are glad
therefore, to find in the Buffalo Commercial :1
statement to the effect that the transportation
business on the canal route, during the past
few days~August being usually awery dull
month-has been uncommonly brisk. For the
week ending- August 11th, there is recorded
a gain in transportation of morethau a million
bushels of grain over the shipments fer the
corresponding week of last. year. The excess
for the entire season, so far, is 2,499,000
bushels.
An engineer of the New York Central says:
r‘" When there is talk of a strike it comes first
trout those‘ who have little to lose—the float-
Ing workers, who haven’t laid up a cent, and
who have no one dependent upon them.
There was notiouc man in twenty in this last
strike that wanted to do it! A few hot-
headed oncs ran thewhole thing, and the rest
wtent mto it for fear they would be sncercd

On 3. Naughty Little Boy, Sleeping
Just now I missed from hell and stair
A goyful treble that had grown
As dear to me as that grave tone
That tells the world my older care.
And little footsteps on the floor
Were stayed. I laid aside my pen,
Forgot my theme, and listened—then
Stole softly to the library 0001-.
No sight 1 no sound l—a moment's freak
0f fancy thrilled my pulses thouOh:
“If—no”——and yet, that fancy diacw
A father’sblood from heart and check.
And then—I found him! There he lay,
Surprised by sleep, caught in the act, '
The rosy Vandal who had sacked
His little town, and thought it play.
The shattered vase, the broken jar:
A match still smouldering on the floor:
The inkstand’s purple pool of gore; I
The chessmen scattered near and far.
Strewn leaves of albums lightly pressed
This wicked “Baby of the Woods;"- -
In fact, of half the househould goods
This son and heir was seized—possessed.
Yet all in vain, for sleep had caught
The hand that reached, the feet that
strayed;
And fallen in that ambuscadc
The victor was himself o‘erwronght.
What though torn leaves and tattered book
Still testified his deep disgrace!
I stooped and kissed the inky faée,
With its demure and calm outlook.
Then back I stole, and half beguiled
My guilt, in trust that when my sleep
Should come', there might be One who‘d
kccp
An equal mercy for his child.
—Bret Harte in Harper‘s .llagazz‘ue.‘
The Punishment of Criminals by
Whipping.
W'ardcn E. B. Nerves of the state Prison,
spoke as follows to a New York reporter
concerning prison discipline, and especially
the punishment of criminals by whipping:
The well being of society demands corpo-
ral punishment. I believe it would it be the
best and most economical thing that the state ’
could do for the repression of petty crimes
to reinauguratc the whipping post. It would
save us a world _of trouble and expense in
dealing with criminals, and better still,would
prevent crime by giving the vicious class the
most solid and easily comprehended argu- -
ment against their repetitionof offenses. It
seems to me that it would be a good idea to
divide the application of the sentence to the
lash, as, for instance, by ordering a man - to
receive thirty-nine lashes at once and thirty-
nine more upon the occasion of his arrest and
conviction for any other offense, without re-
spect to the possible sentence for the second
transgression. Thgre is no doubt in my mind
that the person so sentenced would do his
best to avoid getting a. second time into the
clutches of justice, and if he found his crim-
inal tendency stronger than his resolution, he
would make haste to get out of a state where
such penalties were inflicted before giving
away to impulses antagonistic to the common
weal. I have had occasion to see here from
corporal punishments in this prison their
good effect upon the convict class. For in-
stance, we had a prisoner named John Hart,
a sulky, bad, rebellious, and exceedingly
wicked fellow. We tried minor punishments
__on him for his frequent infractions of disci-
pline, without avail. We even, for his more
outrageous offences, experimented upon him
with the dark cell and it (lid no good. At
length we proceeded to extremities. We
tied him up and gave him a sound, severe
flogging. This, mind- you, was while he was
incarcerated on his fourth term, and after
everything else had failed. It was a year
ago, but since that time he has been one of
the best behaved, pleasantest convicts in the
prison, and has given us no trouble-whatever.
That was just the sort of medicine suited to
his case. What did we use on him? Only
five or six blows well laid on, upon his naked
back, with a six-string cat.
Since then we have bad faith in whipping
stubborn, bad fellows, and now we‘ have
adopted the rule that when a man, for refu-
sal to labor or gross misconduct of any kind,
is sentenced to the dungeon, if he does not
submit readily under that treatment we give
him his choice of going to'work-immediately
and behavirg properly or of being well
whipped. They always say. they will go to
work and be good .in preference to being
whipped, and they do. -Thc whipping post
was abolished in Connecticut ‘in 1825, prior
to which time every town had its whipping
post for its localoficnders. Since then petty
crime has been steadily on the increase
throughout the state, out of proportion to the
growth of population, and from the .petty
crimes greater ones, of 001mm, spring natur-
ally. . To’check this baleful- progrem I believe
we must return to the radical measures of
our forefathers. .
How a countryman Outwitted a
Card Sharper: '
A gentleman was 'witness a few days ago
to a sharp trick at (:1de on a passenger train
of one of our western railroads noted for the
favor in which. three-eard-fnontc men and
other card sharps hold .it.. A well-dressed
clerical looking gentleman had attracted a
crowd of gaping passengers around him by a
number of ingenious and skilfully-executed
tricks with.a pack- of playing cards, and at
last, shuffling the-cards several times and
slapping them down .on his knee, he said,
“I’ll bet any man in thetcrowd that 'I can cut
the Jack of Diamonds at'the first attempt.”
Every one. hung ~back suspiciously, until a
green, gawky-looking individual,vvith hay.
seed in his hair, pushed his way forward.
“Mister," hc‘questioned, “may I take .a
squint at them kecrds i” “Certainly,” replied
the professional, as he handed ‘tbem over.
The countryman inspected them suspicious-
ly, and then, apparently" satisfied, returned
them but did. not take the bet. “The cards
are allright, aren’t they?” the professional
asked. “Ya‘as, I guess they'd suit me,” the
countryman said, hesitalingly. ““Why don’t
you take the bet, then ?” “Wa'al, I don't
know; I ain’t much of abetting man.” The
professional saw, that the countryman was
more than half inclined to take him up, and
to make sure of his game ' he said: “Come,
I’ll bet $10 to $5,$15,$2010~$5l" “Darned if
, I don’t take ye," exclaimed the countryman,
after'a moment’s hesitation, and, diving into
his pocket he drew out a strip of calico (api
patently a’ sample to show his girl), some
confectionery,~ a plug of tobacco, several
horseshoe nails, and, lastly, a dyspeptic-look-
ing leather wallet, from which he extracted
a greasy five dollar greenback, which he
placed in the hands .of a bystander. The
professional speedily covered the deposit with
a twenty fresh from Uncle Sam’s printing
bureau, and then thoroughly shuffling the
cards as a prelude, be grasped" the pack firmly
in one hand, and producing a sharp pocket
knife hcactually out every card in the pack
in two. “There," he exclaimed, triumphant-
ly, ‘ haven’t I cut the Jack of Diamonds ?"
“I’ll be eternally swallowed if you have,” re-
plied the countryman, producing that verit-
able card from his sleeve, whither he had
dexteriously conveyed it while pretending to .
examine the cards. The countryman quietly
pocketed the stakes, and the professional
slunk off into another can—Chicago Tribune.
