If the story below is true, it shows how reckless and triffling are the cl.vt >f men who are at the hesd of trades unions and labor associations, who with the *osa of a copper would throw the whole country into confusion: In con nection with the recent railroad strike, the New York Evening Poet has * story thct it vouches for, that the Erie lead ers settled the question us to whether they should strike, net upon the grounds of expediency, but by mere chance. Tl e men who had influence enough to bring the strike about, or to prevent it, dis cussed the question in a bar-room, by the light of a tallow candle. The/had no desire to join in a strike for higher wages, their only grievance being that certain men had been discharged whom they would like to have reinstated In stead ofweigbing theargumenta and tin u submitting the matter to their hewer judgineu-s, they agreed that they would cast the candle on the floor, and abi-k by the decision of a mere chance. If the flame should go out ther would engage in the strike, if not, they would con tinue to work. They made the experi ment. The candle dame expired, and the men brought upon themselves the strike. Wm, 11. Kemble is one of the Penn sylvania Cameron ring leaders, and does not like the Hayes administration, aud charged that Schurs, one of the cabinet officers, who is now inaugurating civil service reform, and docs not extend much government pap to the Kemble ' addition, diviaion aud silbnce" faction, was once an hireling of the party aud apoke only for ?pay, which Mr. Schuri now denies, according to a Washington despatch of 6, which aara: Secretary bchurx denies the statement recently published that W. H. Kemble, ofPennsylvania, paid him $1,500 for re peating the same speech three times in a eamfittign in that state. He declares 'he story is utterly false and ridiculous .nd aavs that since 1856 he'has been ac tive in thirteen campaigns, state and na iona), from two weeks to four months a* a time, an average of six to seven weeks, and that in most of these cam paigns he paid the bulk of his expenses oat of his own pocket, sometimes when he could ill afford it, and to the utter neglect of his private affairs. That years ago, at times when he was unable to do so, he had, aa under the circumstances everybody else did, accepted compensa tion for traveling and other incidental expenses or declined campaign work; 'hat the aggregate of this compensation so received from every quarter fell far -hort of the actual expense by him in urred; that he thus gave to thoae cam paigns not only his labor and time Counting to little less than twenty >ar months, bat a not inconaiderable mount of money also. John Sherman, Sec'y of the Treasury thinks of making a speech upon the financial question, and * Washington telegram says as follows of the effects it will have in Ohio, John's'own state: Much apprehension is expressed here in official circles over the proposed speech of Secretary Sherman. A gentleman who returned thia morning from Ohio lyaif the secretary deliver* a speech in support of resumption in 1879, the state will go.daciocratic by not less than 50,- 000 majority. This is probably an ex aggerated view of the feeling in the state, but there is no doubt a very strong sentiment against a fixed date of re nmption. Secretary Sherman, when he left here xpreeecd his determination to make a £eecb, and carried with him a large .mount of material from the records of the department to show that the finan cial policy of which he is the exponent has not injuriously affected the interests }f business, and that it is the only sure oad to permanent prosperity. Ohio republicans are not much in iore with Hayes, and a strong opposi tion is being organized against his ad ministration. A meeting of anti-ad min istration republicans held in Columbus on the night of the 10, which adopted resolutions bitterly denouncing Mr. Hayes for bis southern policy and de ela. _ig that the second resolution in the platform adopted by the republican state convention at Cleveland is inconsistent with its professed declaration of fidelity <> the principles of the republican par f; that it is a falsehood adopted solely r party expediency, a libel upon the republicans ofOhio and unworthy of the /rand record of the party. The meeting * o adopted a resolution invilingcorres uidence from republicans throughout 10 state and advice as to the course to e pursued during the present campaign. in executive committee was appointed o receive correspondence. The Dayton Democrat, which may : oseibly l>e prejudiced, announces that the colored Republicans of Ohio are very indignant at the course things are taking under the Hayes administration, and they are going to improve matters by voting the Democratic ticket this fall. Perhaps if the troeps were called out it w iuld help things soma. J!0 'V RRAME I .107 r;. The imftny that attaches to the ►tool ing of the presidency for Hayes, will never 'lie. The Now \ ork Sun sava that tho argument upon the Horldaoaae before the late electoral commission .11 Washiugton, Judge Bradley wrote out his opinion ami his decision in full, lie completed it at about ft o'clock in the j evening on the day before the judge* went of the commission was to be an nounced, and read it to Judge Clifford and Judge Field, who were likewise members of the com mission, it con- ( taincd first, an argument, and second ly, a conclusion. The argument was precisely the same as that which appears in the published document; hut Judge Bradley's conclusion was that the votes of the Tilden electors in Florida, were the only votes which ought to he count ed as coming from that state. "This was the character of the paper when Judge Bradley finished it, and when he communicated it to his collea gue*. During the whele of that night Judge Bradley's house in Washington wis surrounded by the carriages of visi tors who came to see him apparently about the decision of the electoral com aiiw-ion. which, as we have said, was to bo announced the next day. lhse visitors included leading republicans as well persons deeply interested in the Texas Pacific railroad scheme. .'•When the commission assembled tin- next mortflng. and when tlie judg-- an-nt was declare-!. Judge Brsdte- :;svc his voice in favor of counting the vo.es of the Usyes electors in Florida' The argument he did not deliver at the lime but when It catue to be printed subse quently it was found to be precisely the sauic as the argument which he had originally drawn up, and on which he had based his first conclusion in favor of ( the Tilden electors.'' In regard to the singular story printed in the Sun the Enquirer says The night upon which the Commis sion rendered its deciafon in the Flori da came, the Washington correspondent of the Enquirer had interviews with Judge Abbot and Senator Bayard, mem bers of the Commission. Both express ed surprise at Bradley'a vote, inasmuch as bis argument, upon which it was pre sumed he based it. was wholly in fa/or of counting the votes of the Tilden elec tors; and yet, despite such reasoning.be voici, to the great surprise of the Demo erstic members, for the Hayes elector. Senator Bayard said at the time that he did not believe tliat there was a single member on the Commission, unless, in deed, he had been apprised in advance that when Bradley concluded the reed ing of his argument but what expectt-h he would record his vote for the count of the Tilden electors. Bradley's record is so bad, that it is not at all improbable he was bought up on that momeutous night, by Kepuhli can politicians and railroad jobbeis, who thronged his house from nine o'clock until daylight.

The ladies of Progress Grange No. I'd, P. of H. at the last regular meeting pre sented to the Grange a large and elegant Bible bound in heavy Morocco with the accompaning add.use by one of the sis ters whom they had selected to do the honors. It waa altogether a surprise AS they nad kept it a secret till the da* of presentation. Thie is a live and active Grange. Dur ing the quarter from the 30th March to :>oth June they took in nine new mem bers ; this, too, in.a busy season when farmers are actively engaged in farm work. The business done during same quarter amounted to $991,00 in purchases and $509,06 in sales—making a total amount of business hours-acted during the quarter of 11498,08—this does not include the isle of wool for vrhich the returns were not received till after tlie finance committee had audited the ac counts, which amounted to several hun dred dollars—to compare the business of this quarter to the corresponding one of last year it has nearly doubled. ADDRESS. H'orffty Matirr and Patron*: By the laterality and devotion of the sisters of Progress Grange, we have the honor to present to the Grange this sacred Vol ume which has been purchaaed by our private funds through the Agent of the Pa. State Grange, who had inscribed upon its back in letters of Gold, "Pro gress Grange, No. yd, P. of H." Accept this tribute that we voluntarily lay upon the Altar of our Order—as the Ancient Jews laid the best of tbsir flocks and herds upon their altars to show their devotion to their church and their God in whom they trusted —so do we in like manner offer the best of oar books —the Book of all Books—to show our devotion to the Order of Patrons of Husbandry and the God in whom we trust. Brothers, take thia sacred volume as your Coun celor and guide in your labors for our Order, aud mar you be governed bv its precepts and tqe God of love will bless us with prosperity, fraternity and peace. The curious notions of law which rail road officials sometimes entertain are well exemplified in one of the lateet re ported decisions of the Supreme Court of Massachusetts. The Boston and Al bany Railroad had undertaken to carry a car load of oats, in bulk, over a certain portion of its line, and in the bill of la ding the weight of ttie oats waa stated to be 20,000 pounds. When the car reach ed Springfield, however, the railroad company ascertained that it contained, in fact, 23,667 pounds of oats. The com pany thereupon took out the excess of 3,667 pounds and forwarded the remain der to the plaintiffs at Northampton, who then brought suit to recover dama ges for the conversion of the oata thus taken from the car. They were success ful, and the judgment against the rail road was sustained on review by the Su preme Court. "Whatever remedy the defendant bad for having carried the ex cess over 20,000 pounds," aaid Judge Endicott, "it waa not by appropriating to ita own use the plaintiff's property.' And the Court went even further, ana declared that the taking was unjnstifia-, ble, even if the plaintiff a knew the oats were underbilled and did not mean to pay freight for the excesa unless it was demanded. A little more knowledge in regard to legal remedies on the part of the officers of business corporations would prevent such occurrences as this which are much more frequent than is supposed. H. H. Honore, the father-in-law ot Fred Grant and Potter Palmer, will be one of the big bankrupts of the year, his debts exceeding 12,000,000 in amount, (1,500,000 of the sum beingsecured. It is not known how much the creditors will receive, but in the state of the real estate and mining etocK markets their divi dends are not likely to be large. President MacMahou is putting down I the screws in France, on liberty of speech and action, with a vengeance. The purpose is evidently to drive the S publicans into revolutionary demon ations. A common otfence now, which is seveaely punished, is to apeak insultingly of the President. Kepubh can newspapers are suppressed. and it is a crime to sell photographs of Thiers in Paris, while 80,000 equestrian portraits ofMacMahon are being distributed gratuitously in the province. The Monarchists are making a desperate iiattle, hut the extreme methods fney 1 adopt encourage the belief the people will vote them out. | The people of le%iatwn, by a vote, have decided to buy a steam fit* en* 'ginc. \ The Pittsburg Telegraph estimates [that the gun dealers of that city lost s.' 8,000 in goods atoleqj by the mob.

Th .- is au anuual institution of the tribe and is to the youug brave fully as anxious not to say trying, a lime us little go is to the undergraduate, and shuost as r uuti'kuble for the display of pluck. The dance began on Sun-lay in a space clear ed for tho purpose, on which a large "teepee," or double lodge, bad been erected. In this, upon robes and skins, •at the head chief of the tribe, around whom congregated invited guests and Indian musicians, whose occupation seemed to be the thumping of rudely made drums end tambounncs, blowing whistles, ringing bells and making a paudeniunium of shouts ar.J yells. In froul of this lent and at the bass ofscme thirty-five or forty poles planted for the occasion stood us maur young Indians whom a light breech cfout just rescued from Adam'te simplicity. Each of these was fastened to his stake by a rope tied around the end of a stout wooden peg which had been run through pieces of the muscles of the back and sides, a puss age for it having been prepared previ ouslv with a knife. The dunce commen ced ty fifteen or twenty of the Indiana -lushing towards the sun aud throwing their full weight upon the ropes by which they hud been stitched, as it were to the stakes. With tho breaking forth of the music their efforts at self-torture increased in vehemence until carried away bv the applause of the onlooking braves they -lanced up and down, froth ing at the mouth, and not only appar ently insensible to the physical, patn. but even lifted above it to sensation akin to frenzied jov. After their fortitude had bfcen sufficiently proved iu the dance the final test of physical endurance was permitted. A broncho,or wild In dian pony, was attached to oich suffer er's breast by means similar to those al ready described. He then resumed his dancing, frightening the pony, which with every jerk tore open the liole in his breast, back or ahoulders until the flesh stood out in open loope, from which the blood continued to run. Finally, pulling the frightened pony toward hnn by its baiter, the Indian would strike the ani mal iu the face, starting it off on the full gallop. This invariably tore out tlie fleshy loop, leaving the young warrior finish his savage orgies, s man among Indian men, no longer a boy, but a full-fledged brave.

The Territory of Utah afforded Brick Pomeroy the only chance for a judicial separation from his wife, Louisa M., the actrcm. She wanted to go on the stage and he objected. They had been mar ried four years and had lived happily until this "disagreement arose. She re sented the imputation that it was impos sible to lie an actress and a wife, declar ed that he was unreasonably jealous, mistaken in his idea, and that she was wedded to the life of an actress nnd could never leave it. He asserted that then she must leave him. She pleaded with him to noeffect,and then accepted the alternative. How to get a divorce was the question. It was discovered that probate courts in Utah tnay decree w divorce between persons wishing to become residents of the Territory if it shall appear that they cannot live in peace And union together.

Few people are >tr of the wonderful progre-s that Art hat made tr ibis country 1 (during tho last ouarter of a century. It i hut a ftpr docsfe* since. that tbc-c who i desired to beautify and adorn lueirbonu*, were obliged to depend slmort entirely on foreign artists Hut auch a -late of af fair* in the ag* of pr froi and improve ; menl could nut latt long with the great i j American people, tieniua from the Rati |totheVVe.t, frt m the North to tho Gulf of Mexico on the south, answered the do ;mand for beauty, taato and NiMMIi, and to-day our loading artiata aro not sur passed by the leading modern niaalera of Art in Rurope. j Great Art publiahir.g establishment* have aprung up, and by variout proreaaet the finest and mustexpeniivopaiuliag* are reproduced in all their elegance and i beauty, and at a price within the meant of the masses So that no one be without the refining influence of beautiful picturea at home. Among tho progressive leading Art Publishing firma of tho country, we take pleasure in mentioninr George Stinaen A Co., of Portland, Maine, they were among the P.rat in tho business. and we can only understand the colossal propor tions their trade has astumod by remem bering that this is a great and mighty Na tion of nearly fifty million pcop;e. We cannot batter illustrate the inagnitude-o! their business than to state the amount of moner paid by theui for pottage tampa during the year 1376 ; we have ton figures direct from the firm, or wo should think there was some mistake. They paid for postage stamps during the year IbTft, thlr ta-three thousand one hundred and four dollars and ninety two cents, (f.'13,104 VI and, in ronncctioiT with this it should be remembered that tho small ordora wars tent by mail, the latter going by express and freight.

Long since, this enterprising firm rec ognised the value of printer's irk judi ciously ued in advertising, and they in form us that without it they could never have extended their business as it is to day, in three times the number ol years. A abort time since they raid in single day twenlv-four thousand dollars .IM.UOO.UI)} on a contract for newspaper ad vertising Tliey evidently long since found the road to success and have neither turned to tho right %or left. Three things are necossary for eminent success in bus- 1 iness. Fitst, standard honest good* that . the poople generally need and desire,— let them be the best, whatever the line ot business. Second, let your price* br re* sonablc—a* low as possible. Third, let the people know what yo.i have, and what you can do, by liberal and persistent ad vertising, and you will find low price*, made known and provad, will bring trade ( that will give a larger income than can be tuado in any other way.
