Wages are tftostfjp m hat they were in I' ' and uch, meat three to Tour "times, butter from four to six times, and oth er tilings in pretty much the same pro portion. The poor are rendered poor er, while the rich are made richer. Capitalists unite their wealth and not control the labor market, but they buy legislatures and' control government. Public officials and lawmakers no long er regard themselves as public servants, but as rulers. Members of the Legis lature and of Congress look to the cap italists for election and have no con stituents but those who wield the pow er of wealth. The working masses may band themselves together to se cure adnpiate wages for their toil, but capital makes common cause against them, and they are forced to succumb. They may select men to make laws) for their benefit, but banded capital steps in and buys their legislators. Look on the statute bixiks of your State and deny this fact, if you can. Thus every year of Radical domina tion in State and federation shows an alarming downward tendency of work ingmen's interests and pmspects. Now offices are created ; salaries are raised; appropriation bills are sveiled to gi gantic proportions; fresh taxes arc add ed, and the whole \>ill of expenses eventually comes down to bo worked out by the toiling masse;. llow long will it be, under these 11 remittances, before the European pauper standard of wages is reached ? J Foiv long before animal food will disappear from the workingman's table except at holiday times, and until children scarcely out of infancy will be forced into the stifling atmosphere Of mills and factories to help eke out the scanty subsistence of the household ? We ask the working men of Pennsylvania to ponder these things. We ask them to compare the present with the past, and judge there by of the future under the measures and political policies of the now domi nant party.— Patriot cud Union. THE KEMHIOI'K CiRO I'LVIKK. A private soldier, by the name of Richard Lee, was taken before the magistrates of Glasgow for playing cards during divine service. The fol lowing account is given: A sergeant commanded the soldiers at the church, and when the parson had read the prayer, he took the text. Those who had a Bible took it out, but the soldier had neither Bible nor com mon prayer book, pulled out a pack of cards and spread them before him. lie first looked at one and then anoth er The sergeant of the company see ing him said— "Richard, put up the cards ; this is no place for them." "Never mind that," said Richard. When services were over, a consta ble took Richard prisoner, and brought him before the Mayor. "Well," said the Mayor, "what have you brought the soldier here for." "For playing cards in church." "Well, soldier, what have you to say for yourself?" "Much, sir, I hope." "Very good; if not I will punish you severely." "1 have been," said the soldier, "a bout six weeks on the march. I have neither Bible nor common prayer book. I have nothing but a pack of cards, and I hope to satisfy your wor ship of the purity of my intentions." Then spreading the cards before the Mayor, he began with the fice. "When I see the ace it reminds me that there is but one God. "When I see the deuce it reminds me of Father and Son. "When I see the tray it reminds me of Father, Son and lloly Ghost. "When I see the four it reminds me of the four evangelists that preached Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. "When I see the five it reminds me of the five wise virgins that trimmed their lamps; there were ten, but five were wise and five were foolish and were shut out. "When I see the six it reminds me that in six days God made heaven and earth. "When I see the seven it reminds me that on the seventh day God rested from the great work which he had made and hallowed it. "When I see the eight it reminds me of the eight righteous persons that were saved when God destroyed the world, viz: Noah and his wife, his three sons and three wives. "When I see the nine it reminds me of the nine lepers that were cleansed by our Saviour ; there were nine out often who never returned thanks." "When I see the ten it reminds me of the ten commandments which God j handed down to Moses on the tables of stone. "When I see the King it reminds mec.f the Great King of Heaven, which is God Almighty.

Enquirer.) 80011 after General Hancock took command Gen. Mower was ordered to Ship Island in command of a negro battalion. He was soon there joined by his family, one of which was a daughter of about seventeen years, ve ry interesting and accomplished. Al ways brought to believe that a negro was as goocLas a white man, and in ma ny things superior, she of course thought it 110 harm to encourage the advances of one of the ebony race. Accordingly shesawand admired one of tbe soldiers or her father's com mand. Clandestine meetings were had, and so progressed from one step to an other, until at last the colored visitor i discovered occupying the same couch with her, where, rumor says, he had been for ten consecutive nights. Gen eral Mower arrested the offend ing ne gro, and without trial sentenced him to be hung. Preparations were made immediately, and while the rope was around his neck, behold the whole ne ' gro battalion broke out in mutiny, and released the prisoner, seized Gen. Mower, and under pain of death ex tracted from him an oath not to ever hereafter trouble their comrade, or ev er mention this occurrence to a living soul—after which the General was re leased. Subsequently, it was discover ied that these interviews had been [ kept up for two or three months previ | ous; and to add horror to horror, the ! daughter was discovered to be in an in teresting condition, since which time the General has brought her to the ci ty. We can judge for what purpose. I do not vouch for the truthfulness :of the above. I give it to you as I re | ceived it—a rumor—but one that is gen ' orally believed. But now for the contrast. About the time Gen. Sheridan was relieved a ne ! gro was tried in Carrolton, Jefferson ! county, Louisiana, and convicted before the District Court of rape 011 a white girl and sentenced to be bung. The sentence was submitted to Sheridan for approval, and his reply was : "I can see no reason why the sentence of the Court should not be executed." — This was about the time he took his leave, and the papers were left with Mower, who afterward revoked Sheri dan's approval and the sentence of the ; Court, and ordered the negro to be im | pri-oned for ten years instead of being ! hung. Many at that time, were the ; prayers that justice might overtake | him (Mower), and if the story of his j daughter be true, justice certainly has i followed him. NIGGER BY BREVET.—A western paper proposes that, inasmuch as we have in the army brevet generals, bre vet colonels, Ac., and its things are rap idly tending to the debasement of the white man to a level below the darkey, it may become necessary for Congress to provide for the rank of brevet nig ger, or niggerly brevet, i here is some force in tills suggestion, and, however lightly the reader may esteem it, there is a really practical illustration of it. During the war the quartermaster's de partment paid negro teamsters with the army twenty-five dollars a month and rations, whilst the white soldiers of the North were obliged to perform the same work at sixteen dollars a month—the ordinary pay of an enlis ted man. It is said of an Illinois sol dier, who was put to mule driving, that he sent a written application to his captain asking to be promoted to "nigger by brevet," so that nine dol lars a month should be added to his pay, with the right to steal without being subject to punishment according to army regulations. VOL. 62.—WHOLE No. 5,443. AN Ol.n STORY Many* years ago a celebrated Italian j artist was walking along the street of J his native city, perplexed and despon- ' ding in consequence of some irritating I circumstance or misfortune, when !ie beheld a little bov of such surprising and surpassing beauty that he forgot | his own trouble and gloom hi looking upon the almost angel face before him. * "That face 1 must have,'' said the ' artist, "for my studio. Will you come ! to my room a 1 sit for a picture, my! little man?" The little boy wa- glad to go and see , tin pictures ami p n ils and curiosities > in the artist's room; and he was still j more pleas- :i when he saw what seemed ' to he another boy locking just like him smiling from the artist's canvas. The artist took great pleasure in look- ' ittg at that sweet face. When he was, troubled, or irritated, or perplexed, he j •! ! s cves to that 'ovely image on i j . „ >;u\ expression calmed his heart and made I him happy again. Many a visitor to j hisstudiowished to purchase that lovely j face; but, though poor, and often want- j iog money to buy foud and clothCs, he ; would not sell his good angel, as he called this portrait. Iso the years went 011; oftentimes as he looked up to the face on the glowing canvas he wondered what had become of that boy. "How I should like to see how he looks now ! I wonder if 1 should know him? Is he a good man, true, or wick ed and abandoned? Or lias lie died and gone to a better land ?" One day the artist was strolling down one of the fine walks of the city, when he beheld a man whose face and mien were so vicious, so depraved, so almost fiend-like, that he involuntarily stop ped and gazed at him. "What a spectacle? I should like to paint that figure, and hang it in my studio opposite the angel-boy," said the I artist to himself. The young man asked the painter for I money, for he was a beggaras well as a thief. "Come to my room, and let me paint your portrait, and I will give you all you ask," said the artist. The young man followed the painter and set for a sketch. When it was finished, and he had received a few I coins for his trouble, he turned to go; but his eye rested upon the picture of I the boy ; he looked at it, turned pale, and then burst into tears. "What troubles you, man?"said the 1 painter. It was long before the young j man ceroid spcaK. ire sontjeci aloud, ' and seemed pierced with agony. At last he pointed up to the picture on the wall, and in broken tones which seemed to come from a broken heart, he said : "Twenty years ago you asked me to i comb up here and sit for a pici ure, and the angel face is that portrait. Behold me now, a ruined man ;so bloated, so hideous that women and children turn away tiieir faces from me ; so fiend-like that you want iny picture to show how ugly a man could look. Ah! I seenow what vice and crime have done for ■ inc." The artist was amazed. ITe could ■ not believe Ids own eyes and ears. "How did this happen?" he asked. The young man told his sad and dreadful story; how, being an only son, and very beautiful, his parents petted and spoiled him ; how he went with bad boys and learned all their bad hab its and vices and came to love them ; how, having plenty of money, he was enticed to wicked places fill all was lost, and then, unable to work and a shamed to beg, he began to steal, was caught, and imprisoned with the worst criminals; came out still more de praved to commit worse crimes than before; how every bad deed he per formed seemed to drive him to cora | rnit a worse one, till it seemed to him ! be could not stop till brought to the 1 gallows. It was a fearful tale, aiul brought tears into the artist's eyes. lie be sought the young man to stop, offered j to help liini, and tried his best to save j him. But alas !it was too late. Dis ease, contracted by dissipation, soon j prostrated the young man, and he died before he could reform. The painter hung his portrait opposite that of the beautiful boy ; and when visitors asked him why he allowed such a hideous looking face to be there, he told them the story, saying as he ! closed, "be'ween the angel and the de- I inon there is only twenty years of | vice." The lesson of his tale is in the tale it self. You who read it can tell what it is. Think of it often, and heed it al ways. A WITNESS.— A Yankee, having told an Englishman that he shot, on one particular occasion, nine hundred and ninety-nine snipes, his interlocutor asked him why he didn't make'it a thousand at once. "No," said he; "not likely I'm go ing to tell a lie for one snipe." Whereupon the Englishman rather riled, and determined not to be undone, began to tell a long story of a man having swam from Liverpool to Bos ton. "Did you see him?" asked the Yan t kee. "Well, of course I did. I was com -1 ing over, and our vessel passed him a j mile out of Boston harbor." "Well, I'm glad ye saw him, stran ; ger, because yer a witness that I did it. i That was me."

THK TEETII OF .1 IIOKNI.. At live years of age a horse has forty teeth—twenty molar or jaw teeth, twelve incisor front teeth, between the molars and incisors; but usually want ing in the mare. At birth only the two nippers or mid dle incisors appear. At a year old the incisors are all vis ible on the first or milk set. Before three years the permanent nippers have come through. At four years old the permanent di viders next to the nippers are cut. At five the mouth is perfect, the sec ond set of teeth have been completed. At six the hollow under the nipper called the mark, has disappeared from the nippers and diminished in the di viders. At seven the mark has disappeared from the dividers, and the next teeth or corners, are level, though showing the mark. At eight the mark has gone from the corners, and the horse is aged. After this time, indeed, good authorities say that after five years, the age of the horse can only be conjectured. But the teeth gradually change their form, the incisors becoming round, oval and triangular. Dealers sometimes bishop the teeth of old horses; that is, scoop them out to imitate the mark ; but this can be known by the absence of the while enge of the enamel which al ways surrounds the real mark, by the shape of the teeth, and other marks of ago about the animal.

Meantime a nicely dressed young man jumped in and sat down on the handkerchief without ob serving It. The young lady, after pav ing her fare, turned back, discovered to her chagrin her seat was occupied, and set down oppsite, ladies making roojn for her. But she did not desire to lose her handkerchief, so she looked intently toward the place where she had left it, hesitating whether to ask for it or not. Discovering the direction of her looks, all eyes on the opposite side of the car were soon bent on the young man. Finding himself the ob ject of so much attention, he himself looked, and discovered to his horror something white on which he sat, the end peeping out. He mistook its char acter. To cover it with his han ', and to tuck it nicely away, was the work of a few moments. None in the car but the young lady knew that the "something white" was a handker chief, and hesitating still more to ask him, she lost it. —General Shermau is on his way to Fort Laramie. —General Schofleld has appointed Al len McDonald Mayor of Lynchburg. —Louis Napoleon was sixty years old on the 20th of April,
