VISITORS to Atlantic City make fiddling crabs tipsy, and then amuse themselves by watching their antics. A piece of bread soaked in whisky and water attracts them in mytiads from their burrows. Miss LIZZIE BOY'NTOX, of Crawfords ville, Indiana, having lectured op tho sub ject, ''After Suffrage, What? " received an answer the other day in the shape of an old pair of trowsers, a jacket and a dull razor. THE returns from Virginia are still in complete. Richmond papers of Saturday last having returns or reported majorities for Governor from all the counties in the State except Amherst and Henry, which foot up for walker 115,109, and for Wells 96,440, showing a majority for Walker of 18,663. ASA PACKER showed his patriotism, when the war broke out, by going to Eu rope, and remaining several years. The whole male portion of Governor Geaiy's family, able to he in the army, was there fighting for the preservation of the Union. As to the Governor, everybody knows his enviable record. CANADA, like other British colonies is famous for the poverty of its Governors. Lord Elgin, Sir Edmund Head, and I, rd Monck are said to have been in rather straightened circumstances when they first came over, and Sir John Young to be no better off. They all pet more comfortable before they go home. A MAN who has worked for years in the Brooklyn navy yard, as a machinist, has learned in his leisure hours to speak, read and write Hebrew, French, German and Italian, and obtained a thorough knowl edge of geology and botany. Out of his savings he has purchased a librasy of 1,200 volumes. A STAGE carpenter named John O'Con uell. employed at the Bowery Theater, New York, died very suddenly a few nights ago. It appears he undertook to walk around the stage forty-two times in seven minutes, and accomplished it, but was immediately taken sick, and died some hour# afterward. COTTON IN INDIA.— The total quantity of land devoted to the growth of cotton throughout the whole of India does not ex ceed 5,500,000 acres. If this quantity of land was as productive in India as it is in the United States, it would yield something like four million hales, or half a bale per acre. But the yield is so much less than this that of the imports from In dia in an average yield is not more than a million and a half of bales of 394 lbs. each. QUEEN VICTORIA is said to be failing in health. A London paper says the presence of a crowd or a succession of persons who are present at court, produces on her ner vous system the giddiness and other simp toms common to landsmen at sea. Consid ering her Majesty's habits of punctuality, and the hard labor and anxiety she has un dergone during her happily protracted reign, it cannot be a matter of surprise that the nervous system should become fatigued. RED CLOUD, chief of one of the merciless marauding hands of Indians on tbe frontier, who has just swept a tribe of peaceful sav ages out of the Wind River Valley, is de scribed a.- physically a model of perfection, six foct two inches tall, with a handsome face of the eagle type, a keen, fierce eye, a ponderous heal and lofty Lrow#; and as doubtless one of the most crafty and intelli gent of hia race. AT Lawrence, Massachusetts, a cunning old farmer was recently tried for putting stones in his loads of hay to increase the weight. He put one hundred and fifteen pounds of stones in one load, and was de tected in pulling them out after the hay was weighed. One witness testified that he had been annoyed for a year cr two past,, at time#, by piles of country stones, moss cov ered. being left where the prisoner unload , ed his hay. KOOPMANSHOOP. —The idea of Mr. Kooj;- manshoop, the great Chinese coolie agent, ; in visiting New York, is to take a survey of the country, in order to form an opinion of its capacity for the employment ot Chinese labor. If he receives encouragement, es pecially in the Southern States, he will un dertake tbe importation of Chinamen on a huge scale. He will employ alb available vessels, and his agents in China will bs pre pared to fill them with human freight as fast as they arrive. We may soon see the in-etting of a Mongolian tide, which is ca pable of rising to any conceivable magni tude. A DEMOCRATIC EXPLOIT.— At last there is a Democratic State Convention which i constructs a platform without mentioning the Fifteenth amendment. This surprising i exploit was performed last week at Des Moines by the Democracy of lowa. Tbey denounce the Maine Liquor Law. a high protective tariff, and so on, but laid a resolve against the Amendment on the table. This is encouraging, and proves the utility of being beaten. A long succession of severe | defeats has chastened the Democracy of lowa into a degree of good sense that their brethren in some other States have not yet attained. AN expert locksmith calied on the officers of the Ocean National Bank, N. Y., and offered to pick the combination lock on their safe, if they would let him. The door was locked, the President only knowing the com bination, which was a single one oat of some millions that the lock afforded, and then submitted it to the smith, who in a very fear minutes had it open. So it seems there is away of overcoming the seeming impossibility of hitting upon the exact figures. The locksmith said he could teach the trick to a person of ordinary capacity in ! a very few minutes. | THE Boston /Gs-/, the leading Democratic journal of New England, referring to the ; cowardly attack upon the colored printer Douglass, says; "We see no reason, if a negro be respectable, well behaved and com petent, why he should not be permitted to follow any avocation he desires, and to serve whosoever wishes to employ him. One of the most faithful ore n we ever had in onr offiee was a negro, who lived with us for i twenty-five years, and when he died we sin cerely mourned the loss of a true friend. VVe think all combiratiins of tbe many who oppress the few not only unjust, but mean and cowardly—violations of those personal rights which arc the vital attributes of lie ! publican liberty." BEDFORD, PA- FR|>AY. JULY JO- ?869. From Packard's Monthly, fur August. THE REAPERS. BV XATBAN t>. VBXE&. Billows of shadow and brightness fleet Over the seas of yellowing wheat, With a steadier glow where the white moon rests On the fallen glory of golden cre3ts — While a livelier hue, as the warm South blows, With wave on wave to the orchard flows. Far to the right, a brown-armed row, I see the stalwart reapers go— Their shoulders rising and falling free, Like swimmers thai sport in a summer sea— While here and there a scythe-blade's blaze Dips like a dolphin, and ronnd them plays * r And the jocund shout of the Harvest Home Floats, mellow and deep, from the jasperfoam. Straight to the verge of our shaded path, In regular windrows sweeps the swath Far behind it btretches away, Plumed at tbe sides by tawny spray, And opening, lengthening on to us, Like the Red Sen path of the Exodus. Through the '.allowing waves, as the gray becrdg reel, Faster aud fuller now swings the steel, With a fiery flash, as the suubeams writhe From tip to hasp of tbe sweeping scythe. There, following, Is the sheaf piled wain, With the steeds neck-deep in the gofden grain. And now, to breathe from their task-work sore, Tbe dripping toilers have reached the shore. But a cooling draught from the bubbling spring. A jest, a laugh aud some bantering, Brown foreheads brushed ol the shinning sweat. Like jewels of honor there proudly set, And then, with their backs to the shaven lea, Another plunge in the amber sea. A lazy music pervades tbe air, From thicket, and meadow, and near parterre-, As if, the leaf coverts and flowers among, The sleepy soul of tbe sunshine sung. From the velvety verge or this daring dell Luxurious languors softly Ewell, To lull tbe spirit and woo tbe sense To day dream, sloth and indoleuce. • But sweeter, pleasanter far to me Than wind, or bird, or droning bee, That lusty shout, so cherry and blithe, That ringing sound of the whetting.scythe. It speaks of laurels nobly won By the good strong arm in the good strong sun Of energies, heavenly seconded, To wrest from earth's bo3om the boon of bread For wife and little ones—charity— And tbe hungry myriads over the sea ! It sings a eonst, and au echo springs World wide and clear, as tbe scythe-blade rings, Telling of man and his dignity, His hope to be noble, his right to be free — Of ibe God like power io his bosom unfurled, Of the brawn and body and soul of the world! RALPH (ULUO EMERSON. Writes in the morning; and, when not ab sent in Boston, or away on cue of his annual lecturing expeditions, is always to be found at that hour among his book#, in a plain* front room on the lower floor of the old fashioned c-'Ur.try heu.-e in which he lives, and with which a st- re ol engravings hate made all the world acquainted. We will enter the low wooden gate of this dwelling, and pa-iing through the small cheekc-r- ; board garden, rap at its eld oaken doorway. Our summon- is answered by a prim serv- j ing-woman, who scents a queer compound of steel spring#, Oswego starch, and the ! neatest of Yankee calieo. We are ushered ' into a wide hall, hung with dingy paper and garnished with an old-fashioned hat-stand, a broad-brimmed heaver and a big cotton umbrella. The door at the right now opens and we arc face to face with the great tran- ; scendeataiist. There is a smile about Lis mouth, a pen behind his ear, and two or three daubs of ink on a- many of bis finger#; but, holding out both his hand# to us and saying, "Come in, come in; I am glad to see you," he leads the way into his study. It is a low room, about twenty feet square, with a worn carpet on the floorand the same dingy paper on the wad#—but this is half hidden by a score or two of portraits and engraving®. A round table is against the wall, and. on it are several open books and pamphlets, a pen rack and an inkstand, and a few quires of ordinary packet post paper. Near the table is a wide arm chair, and scattered about on the floor, under tbeehair and under tbe table are, perhaps, a dozen sheets of freshly written manuscript. The "philosopher" is at work, and these neatly penned sheets are a part of his next book, or new lyceum iecture. Wc fear we have cut some great thought rudely asunder, and propose to go, and come again after dinner. "No, no," he answers; "stay; stay now; a little talk will brush rnc up; my ideas flow slowly this morning. But let u# get out of this den—let us have a whif of tbe fresh grass in the meadow." He leads Gift way into another room of the same size as the former, but looking out upon a small garden and a broad meadow that are odorous with the breath of new mown hay and spring flowers. All sorts of odd kniek knacks cover the walls and cum ber the corners of this room, and on two of its sides are open shelve#, filled with old volumes in odd and antique binding#, or in no bindings at all. These are the philoso pher's stones, by which he transmutes base metal into gold—rare old tomes, chronicles, romancists, quaint poetry, and precious books in blac 1 ' letter, holding in their faded leaves the i liration of many a dead and gone century. But he motions us to a chair by the win dow, and, setting himself down, open# his mouth and pours forth a mingled stream of proverb, poetry and transcendental!#®. This lasts a quarter of an hour hv the clock, and then we manage to wedge in a word or two. and every word is a question. "You work in the mornirc. Mr. Emer son?" "Always in the morning; for then the in- j tcrect is fresh and the spirits elastic; and, ! toe*, there is something in the morning air that invigorates the tnicd, frees it from its trammels and gives it full scope ami action." "You do not work all the day?" "Never after dinner, if I can help it. On plea-ant days I idle away i.he afternoon in the woods and fields, and then I try to get as near as I can to oar great intuicr, Na tern. If I ever have any good thoughts it 'S 'jjfre that they come to me." ' A hi vour good 4bgH!£—do yon thick step by step, as you do a problem in mathematics?" "No; they come of themselves, like a gleam of light breaking into a dark room, or a flash of lightning darting across the black ness of midnight." And these, his own words, held in a toler ably retentive memory, afford a key to Em erson s intellectual character. He simply announces, he doe# not reason. Truth with him is found in intuition, not in logic, and hence, he is a dc. veiDTseut. Contrast China with Russia, England with the United State-'. Where tho few govern, the legislature is for the advantage of the few. Where the many govern the legislation will gradual ly become more and more for the advant age of the many, a# fast as the many know enough to demand laws for their own ben efit. This knowledge comes from an edu- j cation in politics; and a ballot in a mac's hand and the responsibility of using it, it the first step in this education. Even if a man sells hi# ballot, there is power in pos sessing that a politician must have or perish. The Southern slaves must have acquired a new dignity in the scale of being when Judge Kelly and Senator Wilson traveled all through the south to preach to them on political questions. The thinking men of England, as they philo-ophize on the abuses of their gov ernment, see plainly that the only way to abolish an OTder of Debility, a law of prim ogeniture and an established church, is to give the masses a right by their votes to pitch this triple power into the channel for all the bulwarks of aristocracy will one by one, be swept away with the edu cation and enfranchisement of the people. Gladstone. John Bright qnd John Stuart Mill see clearly that the privileges of the few can be extended to the many only by the legislation of the many. All the bene ficial results of the broad principles they are advocating to-day may not he fully realized in a generation, but, to the phil osophical mind, they are as true now as if | already achieved. The greatest minds in this country too, have made most exhaustive arguments to prove the power of the ballot and recog trzed the equality of all citizens, in our Declaration of Rights, in extending suff rage to all white men, and in the pr NJsi tion to farther extend it to all b'n -k at The great Republican party (in which are many of the ablest men of the nation) de elare that, emancipation to th black mar, lisa mockery, without the Suffrage. Yv'hen j the thinking minds on both continents are agreed as to the power of the ballot in the hand of every man, it is surprising to hear educated Americans ask, "What possible ' value would Suffrage be to woman? W hen ! in the British Parliament, the suffrage was extended to a million new voters, even Lord Derby and Disraeli, who were op posed to the measure, said at once, now, if this class are to vote, we must establish school# for their education, showing the | incieas d importance of every man who ha? a voice in the government, and the | new interest of the rulers in his education. ; Where all vote all must l>e educated; our public schools system is the result of this principle in our government. When wo men vote. Harvard, Yale end Princeton wili ' throw wide open their doors. Women are not anomalous beings out : side all law, that one need make any spe cial arguments to prove that what elevates and dignifies man will educate and dignify woman also. When he exercises fcer j right of Suffrage, she will study the sci ence of government, gain new importance in the eyes of politicians, and have a free pass in the world of work. If the tua-ses j knew their power, they coull turn the | whole legislation of the country to their I own advantage, and drive poverty, rags and ignorance into the Pacific Ocean. If they would learn wisdom in the National Labor Conventions and not sell their votes to political tricksters, a system of Finance. Trade and Commerce, and Co operation could soon be established that would secure the right# of Labor and pat an end to the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few. Labor ho!d3 the ballot now, let it learn how to use it. Educated women know how to use it now. let them have iu—Rev olution. OPINION OF HI TLER IN NED OR LEANS. "Russcli" writes to the Boston Try teller j that when in New Orleans recently he went to see the canal#and drains which General Butler ordered dug when he kept the pesti iential yellow fever out of the city. He says: We found them partially filled with filthy ciud, while the top of the black water was covered with a thick senm of a yellow blue , color. The stench from them was nearly suffocating, and we made ba#te to get on the windward side, to avoid a retreat toward the city. The city is on a marsh that is lower than the river, and stagnant water would stand hero%t any time of the year, making it sickly if there were no other ag gravating causes. But when the offal and filth of the city is carelessly thrown into these fever-breeding sloughs and left to de compose, the effect is terrible. One of the most rabid rebels we have met in the South went with us to visit the suburbs, and al though he said all the had things and told all the lies he could get into the hour we were with him, about General Butler, yet when we asked why the city was not kept as neat, and those dtains as clean as they were during the military rule of General Butler, he expressed his idea of the incom petency of the city government in very stlong terms. "I heaitily wish be was back here," said he, "to pull these city officials over the [ coals. Why, the only healthy year thiscity I ever saw was when he was here to make tho-e lazy fellows toe the mark. As much a.- I hate hiiu I wish he was back, and would vote for him in a mioute." "I hardly think he would run well for | Mayor," said we, jokingly. "Yes, he would, though," said he. "The people would all vote for him just to spite the present incompetents." Later iQ the day, after we had returned to the Saint Charles Hotel, we had some con versation with another hater of Butler, and when we referred to the recent action of the Legislature in licencing gambling houses, lottery schemes, and such place#, he ex claimed : "Well, after all is said, Butler did one good thing for the city in suppressing crime. Icu may not believe it, sir, hut he renova ted this city, and a rowdy dared not stay here. Really I wish he cou'd be in com- I tuand here long enough to clean out these | gambling dens." So it was wc went. Men cursed Butler, wished him all manner of evil; wanted to fight us for refusing to J ce it in that light: yet each admitted that he wished the Genera! wa# hack to summarily euro urn: evil they hated. Jlut no two agreed on the same thing. TIIE FICTITIOUS. "I want a paper that has long stories in it." said a young lady; and she added, "I don't want a paper for anything else." Poor girl! much to be pitied; and a pitiful appearance she will make through life, at the present rate. She wants nothing seri ous, no acquaintance with the history of her times, nothing intellectual; nothing but newspaper novels ! Empty heads they must%e that can find room every week for some ten columns of a sham story. Yet these are the heads for which the weekly press toils and groans, throwing off by the ten thousands its sheets of shallow, insipid, and disgusting fiction; and for this an amount of money is paid which a sound literature utterly fails to com mand. Father# and mothers buy this vile trash for their sons and daughters, and so ministers to their ignorance and destitution, of all good taste and fitness for life's duties. Doubtless the periodical press does more than any other one instrumentality to de cide the opinions, habits of thought, and general character of the age. A family will very soon begin to show a sympathy with its weekly paper, and parent and children wii! soon begin assimilating to it in sentiment and feeling; and as families are, so is the community at large. Blind and stupid, therefore, yea, worse, are those who toler ate in their houses a class of papers which arc made up of the writings of silly, igno i rant scribblers, who would be "at the foot'' : in the town school of good morals. Such ; are teachers of half of the generation. THE SICK CUAMIIER. ' As this is the season of contagious dis ; eases, a remark of caution to those visiting ; sick rooms may not be out of place. It is a simple matter to preserve health, pro vided we understand the plain principles of nature. In these hot days, many of us. when called to visit a siek friend, are apt to rush to the chamber with imprudent haste, and consequently enter it in a vio lent perspiration. This should be particu larly avoided, for if the body is heated when you enter the room filled with the unwholesome odors of disease, the moment i it becomes cold it is most likely to ab ; sorb the infection, thus adding to the spread of the contagion. Consult prudence when you visit the sick chamber, and enter ! it only when the system, mental and phy sical, is free from unnatural excitement. And remember, that a^ person laboring un der any contagious complaint should not be visited with an empty stomach, for at : sneli fin:"# there is an exhaustion about ; the physical nature which contributes to the more reedy absorption of drier#:. It you "ffind between a lire and a diseased : person, the danger is greater than under 1 other circumstance#, because the heat of the fire draws the infectious vapor in that direction, and the system, from the force of 1 concentration, becomes more easily im pregnated with it. These directions are simple, and their observance may prove ' highly beneficial to those who are apt to I act with imprudence, because they give but little if any thought to the question | that so nearly affects fhem. VOL 12: NO. 28 SENTIMENT. George D. I 'rent ice has been a constant drinker for forty years. F>t ten yeSrs he has been a drinker of the lignum vitir order. Here is a temperance lecture by him. "J here are times wlun the pu'se lies low in the bosom and boats low in the veins; when the spirit - loops, which, apparently, knows no wakening. s!e ps in it- house o' clay, and the window- are shut and the doors bung in tin* invisible crape of me'an choiy ; when we wfeh the j.-len tmhioe ! pitchy darkness and wish to Icnrj clouds j where no clouds I.e.

What sha'l make j the h art beat iu?:-io again, t' ? : throb (hrouth the myraid thronged hat - h the ■ hou-e ofiife! What thai! make the sua kiss the eastern hills agaiu for us with all his awak euing gladness, and the night overflow with moonlight, love and flowers? Love itself is the greatest stimulant—the most in toxica ting of all, and perforins all these miracles ; but it is cot at the drugstore whatever they say. The counterfeit is ia the market, but the winged-God is not a money-ch-toger, we assure you. Men have tried many things, still they ad for stimulants. 31en try to bury the floating dead of their own souls in the wice cup, but the corpse rises. We see their faces in the bubble*. The intoxica tion of drink sets the world whirling again, and the pulses to playing music, and the thoughts galloping, but the fast clock iuns down sooner, and unnatural stimulants only leave the house if filled with the wiidct: revelry, more silent, more sad, more desert ed, more dead. There is only one stimu lant that never intoxicates, duty. Duty puts a clear sky over man, into which the sky lark, happiness, always goes singing." DISINFECTING AGENT. Common copperas, which co-ti but three cents per pound, is perhaps one of the most efficient and economical disinfecting agents kuown. If two pounds of copperas be dis solved iu ten quarts of boiling water, and the solution poured into gutters, sinks, cess pools, and other places where filth neoessa rily accumulates, its deodorising power will become speedily and convincingly apparent. I advise eveiy housekeeper to provide a quantity of the article? and keep it constant ly on hand, to be used when wanted. The unpleasant odor emanating from the barn yard, anil other places where manure is stored or kept during the hot weather, or dinarily experienced during the vernal and summer months, is speedily neutralized by a slight sprinkling of this solution, as well as the extremely unpleasant smell engen dered bv decaying animal and vegetable sub stance in cellars and oat-houses, and which it is frequently found difficult to prevent. Copperas is also an excellent manure. It acts as an absorbent and fi.nr of the gaseous and volaiile products of decomposition, and thus becomes an efficient medium of their transportation to the fields where they are i required to give energy to vegetable life, i And here permit me to mention a few other I important facts in connection with this sub j jcet. Sulphuric acid —another cheap arti cle, which like coppera*, mav be obtained of the druggists in any d< irafcle quantity, is also most valuable artiei. for this pur pose 11' used in a dilute state.-end sprink led over th floors of stables and other build ings where animals arc kept, it will in a short time disinfect the same of all nauseous and unpleasant odors, and render the at mosphere p rfectly pure and sweet. Like copperas, it is also a good manure. Anoth er article of great efficiency is found by slak ing quick lime to a thick, plastic, mu^hcon sistence, with water saturated with salt. This is what may be properly called domes tic chloride of lime, being in every respect iimiliar to, if not strictly identical with the chloride of lime found at the shops, al though it comes at less than one-twentieth I the cost. WE have often thought it remarkable that buaaess men could be EO blind to their own interests as to fail to use the commonest and most ordinary means for the advancement of their different pursuits. Of course we refer to newspaper advertising. This is no new idea, born of our connection with the press, and selfish in its nature. We enter tained precisely the same view years ago, and regarded that policy as narrow minded jn the extreme which refused to invest a few dollars that hundreds might bo real ized, or higgle at the price of an advertise ment and conclude that the expense might be avoided. No sane man now a-days pre tends to deny the utility and advantage of newspaper advertising. AH experience and observation proves that, almost without ex ception, the men who have largely realized money and become wealthy through trade and business, are tbe men who advertised the most. It is unnecessary to cite in stances. You can scarcely pat your finger upon the name of a successful merchant or or man of business in the United States, who is not a living illustration of this fac*. We know that many of our business men here regard it as useless to advertise in a community like thi . It is a mistaken idea however. The necessity is just as great in proportion here as anywhere the. It wi:l be found that the most liberal advertisers here arc most successful in business, acd realize the greatest profits. SATURDAY .N K;IIT. —Somebody gets off the following beautiful paragraph on the closing night of tbe week. There is a volume of truth and sente ia it/ "Saturday night makes people human, sets their hearts to beating softly, as they used to do before the world turned them into war drums and jarred them to pic-ce with tattoos. The ledger closes with a clash; the iron doorcd vaulrs come to with a bang, up go the shutters with a will, click goes the key in the lock. It is Sat urday night, and business 1; ithes tree again.

FLOWERS AND Mrrsic.—Yes, two gifts God has bestowed opnn u, that hare ia themselves, no guilty trait, and show an es sential divinene-s. Music is one of these which seems as if it were born of death, but lingers with us from the gates of heaven ; music, which breathes over the gross or sad or doubting heart, to in-pire it with a con sciousness of its own mysterious affinities, and to touch the chords of its unsuspected, undeveloped life. And the other gift is that of fh were, which, though born ofeartb, we tnay well believe if anything of earthly soil i- in the higher realm, if any of its methods are continued, if any of its forms are identic d, they will live on the banks of the river of R" .

Don't wait to be rich; if you do, ten to one you are not fit to be married. Marry while you are young and struggle up together. But mark, young man, the woman don't want you if she is to divide her affections with a cigar, spittoon or whisky jug. Neith er docs she want you if you don't take care of her and the little '"after thoughts" which are sure to follow. Neither docs she want you simply because you are a man, the def inition of which is too apt to bo an animal that wears bifurcated garments on his lower limbs, a quarter section of stovepi|>e on his head, swears like a pirate, and is given to filthy practice generally. She wants you for a companion, a help mate—she wants you to have learned to regulate your appe tite and passions ; in short in the image of God, not in the likeness of a beast," CURIOUS PROPERTY OF IKON.—IU 1850, 3lr. Marsh, an able chemist of the royal ar sons', England, discovered that it is invari able with iron which has remained a consid erable time under water, "when reduced to small grains or an impalpable powder, to become red-hot, and ignite any substance with which it comes in contact. This he found by scraping some corroded metal from a gun, which ignited the paper containing it, and burnt a hole in his pocket. The knowledge of this fact ia of immense impor tance. as-it may account for many fjrontane ous fires and explosions, the origin of which has not been traced. A piece of rusty iron, brought in contact wiih a bale of cotton in a warehouse or i n shipboard. may occasion extensive conflagrations and the loss of ma ny lives. The tendency of moistened parti cl v f i nto ignite was discovered by the French chemist, Lotua-y, as far back as 1670. Mr. WOLF, a New York cap-maker, whde attending a meeting of his striking era ; ' yes. wa c , t upon by the men, and beat en and abu.-cd with tongues and fists, until the girl.-, who were amang the strikers, enme to his ics/uo, and st'pped the mal treatmeir. Mr. Wolf promptly hired the ciil-over again, and gave thera all thi in crease of wages they asked. "TOMMY, my son, fetch iu a stick .of wood."
