drcd arid forty-eight miles lo Eric.
From V illiaitirij .oil Kouth to Ilurrin
burg, the capital of I'eniinylvaniu, in
about eighty miles. The population
of tlio city is estimated at twenty
thousand. Homo of the mercantile
entuiilinhnienw of WilliuniKport arc
models of system and niarvcU of busi
ness. One of thtim, (dry goods.) thut
of Mntlipwson 4 Co., of wliiili Jlr. E.

Hut the gnat item of Williamspnrt
busineas ia Lumber. In tbi it fclandH
unequaled and unrivaled by uny place
in tbo I'nited b lutes except Huginaw,
in Michigan.
One of the moht interesting and
rcmarkablo leatures in lliia Lumber
biisinoss is the Boom. At the dinner
of the Lycoming County Bur, held at
the Jlordio iloune on the Z.u of Feb
ruary lust, the Hon. William II. Arm
strong, in recalling reminiaconces of
eminent members of the legal prplea
sion, mentioned that soon alter ho whh
admitted lie visited Philadelphia, and
was introduced to Jeremiub lllack,
then a dislinguiHhcd lawyer and utter-
wiinln Attorney General ol tlio Lulled
StaleH. After b'jino conversation 31 r.
Black cullovl him aside.
The young lawyer anlicipated re
ceiving some useful hints from one so
eminent in his profession, and was
somewhat surprised inatesd thereof,
to be asked "What is a Uoom V We
will inform our readers, or such of
them at least as need to be informed,
that it is an immense finh-net to catch
saw logs. The main boom (lor there
are three of thorn near Williumsport,
nnd ono further up the river near Lock
linven) is about live miles long, with
an averaged width of fivo hundred
feet. This boom occupies ubout ono-
halt the channel of tlio river, nnd is
literally packed and jammed with logs
from "stem to gudgeon." It ia a sight
to behold, and In ancient limes would
have taken high rank among tlio Won
ders of the World.
lhiring tlio summer nnd full tlio
lumbermen go into the woods to cut
the logs, and during the winter they
haul them to the banks of tlio streams
ready to float down to tho boom when
the freshets of spring arrive. Every
lumberman marks his own logs with
his own mark, nnd then they are
allowed to float miscellaneously into
tho boom, from whence they are railed
out and separated, crer)' log accord
ing to its ownor and delivered over
lor the work ol the mills.
Theso Dooms have been built and
are owned by what is called the "Sus
quehanna Boom Company." This
company whs chartered in 1846, and
the first boom was built in 184!). The
capital stock ot tho enmpnny is $1)0.
Oliu, but it haa expended in tho erec
tion nnd maintenance of tho booms
over 87.r)0,l)tHI. Tlio Directors of the

Being in Williamspnrt a fow days
since, we wero lavored with an oppor
tunity of visiting these Booms. 1'ho
little Scrow Steam Yacht .Maggio car
ried tho party somo nine miles up the
river. '1 lis tiartV Was Com tlOSCll ns

little craft was most admirably man
aged by rred. heller, who lakes a
commendable, pride in his profession,
while tho pilot's deck was skillfully
held under the volunteer management
of our fellow passenger F. Coleman,
Ksq. The day was cloudy, and upon
starling there were indications of nn
impending storm. Before we had
prutfeded msny miles it csmo. Tbej
wind flew great guns, ana tne rains
fell in torrents. Tho furious waves
fairly touched the gunwales, yet the
staunch little ship ploughed its wny
nolily ahead. The party did not
cscapo a pretty thorough welling, but
the enjoyments of the trip ami inlor
niation imparted more than compen
sated fur tho little "unpleasaiitnces"
of the rain.
The enpneity of these Booms is esti
mated for two hundred million feel
of lumber. The number of men cm
ployed as about one hundred tlurinj
nine months of the year. Tho charge
for boomago is tl.2,'i per thousand feet,
giving on tho amount run through the
booms about 2.0,0t'l per annum.
The logs which find their way lo these
booms are cut from the immense and
alinoKt illimitublo forest of pine which
abound on tho tipper waters of the
est Branch and its tributaries. Pine
Creek, Kettle Crock and tho Sinnenia
honing contribute a very large share
of tbo wholo amount. It is estimated
that theso forests will continue to fur
nish the annual supply of logs, at the
ralo they are now being cut, for at
least fifty years to come. So it will
bo seen there is no present danger of
this great staple ot Williumsport trade
being brought to griof. The estima
ted amonnt of lumber to bo manufac
tured ths present season is two hun
dred snd twenty fire million loci, and
in this work about forty saw mills are
.mployed.
Among ths largest of theso mills
are those of William K. Bodgo A Co.,
with a enpneity of r,Hl,UlHJ feet a
j-sar; Wbite, Lonl & White, and P.

i Co., each 10,000,(1(111; Pliilbcrt A Otto,
Brown, Early A Co., anil Coltoir A
Cnnlield, each H,0(0,0(i(l. There are
also sonic thirteen pinning mills in the
city. In addition to tho lugs which
aro boomed and sawed at the mills,
tbero are about two thousand rafls
which annually float down the stream,
averaging six thousand cubic feet each
ot timber. Tho number of men who
are employed in this lumber interest
is estimated ot about two thousand,
and tho vnlne of the lumber manufac
tured will reach at least Fivo Millions
of Iiollars annually.
Theso figures, vast as they aro, will
give to tho general vender but little
idea of tho immensity of this trade.
Let uh sen what it will do. Two
Hundred and Twenty-Five Million
leet of Lumber, the estimated amount
to be manufactured in Williumsport
this season, reduced lo bourds one foot
wide and one inch thick, nnd laid in a
continuous lino, would extend forty
two thousand six hundred and thirty
threo miles, or almost twico around
the globe. If piled up sixteen feel
wido and fifteen feet high the pile
would si retch out to a length of six
thousand fivo hundred and ten miles;
and if piled up solid all in one spot to
a height of fifteen loot tbo spot would
embrace twenty-eight nnd three-quarter
acres. We havn't estimated how
long it would take one man to haul it
away with a single team, but it is safe
to sny that if ho had good wages nnd
steady employment ho might consider
himself comfortably situated for life.

Rendering the Homestead Law Null,
The public lands are no longer the
property of the peoplo of the United
.States. The poor man, who has been
promised home under the so-called
"homestead law," need not expect
anything of tho kind. There will be
nothing tor him ; thieving Congress,
paid to steul the public property, have
appropriated theso homes as fast as
liino permitted thorn. A gang of
scoundrelly swindlors all the past ses
sion, as well as during previous ses
sions, for half a dozen years back,
l.ave filled the lobbies of the council
halls at Washington, and purchased
up tho rotten specimens of humanity
tho peoplo have sent there to take
care of their interests; and the poor
mun s acres, nnd the tax payers hard
earnings, have been slo'en and appro
priated, to the extent ol hundreds of
millions of dollars. To-day tho home
stead law is a farce.
Tlio rotten Congressmen, and the
equally rotten railroad speculators and
lobby. men, composo tho entire "vole-
yonrsell n t'arm-p arty," und they bid
lair to ho aucecHKiul to the greatest
degree. When that high-toned hotly
again convene, the unfinished swindles
will be pushed through, and new ones
inaugurated. The lloutie of Hepro-
senlutivcs hud before it, previous to
ita adjournmui t, an extensive assort
ment of plundering schemes of start
ling magnitude. A meipber from
isconsin wanted a grant of ten to
thirty sections ot public lands, each
side of tho track of tho McOreggor
and Sioux City Bailroad iu Iowa;
also to renew (bo Alabama grants,
which expired by limitation in lMili.
An Arkansas member asked that the
Memphis and St. Louis Hnilroad Co.
msy build up tho levels along the
Mississippi for a road bed, and that
the government guarantee the Interest
on the bondB to be issued by tho Co.,
at the rate of 125,000 permilo for the
whole length of the route. Fremont's
Memphis and El Puso bill, agreed
npon by tho House Committee on
Public Lands, is tho southern route to
California. Since Grant took his seat,
no less than twenty four huge lund
grabbing bills have been concocted,
pushed through tho House, and into
the Senate The men engaged at this
gnmo are romcmy, lipton, Kellogg,
Illinois, llownrd, Hamsey, Ae., each
two to three hills. It is supposed thut
grants ot ten to htly miles of
land
nor-i ana of llie.n ti-nr k. .an ho ,.K.
tamed; and so ilier go, on the "steul
and go smicks principle," which is the
rule.
If the people need nny clearer proof
o the corruption of their puhlitt ser-
vunts, Ibe late testimony in the I'nion
Pacific Kailrond csso furnishes it. It
was in evidenco there that tho I'nion
Pacific R. R Co. kept a secret service
fund of t'OO.OOO for the purpose of
brining members of Congress ; and il
was further proved, that some of the
menihers ol the I o , who Had charge
of the disposition of this fund, had
stolen a portion of it. It was also
proved t'nit over $5(1(1,(100 in cash was
paid lo members of (. ongross, and olli
ccrs of the government in a singlo
year, as bribes, besides several mil
lions, in shares of this road, which
had secured all tho finest lands on
both sides of its track between the
Mississippi and the Pacific coast. Will
the poor man conlinuo to support tlio
party whose lenders nre thus plunder
ing him of his homestead? liy Hook.
A Fish Story. A curious scene
was recently witnesxed on the Polo
mac, opposite Alexandria, which is
thus described bv tho Oaietlf of that
city: "A gull liad, with a swoop,
si ruck its talons deep into tho back
of a fish, the sir.e of which it hud evi
dently mistaken, for instead of bearing
it away, as it had intended, the lish
n it only lemained in tho water, but
swam rapidly about on tho surface of
tho river, mounted by its fluttering
and now alarmed assailant, which was
nnablo to disengngo its claws from
their living fastenings. The bird in
its endeavors, at first to carry ofl'and
then to free itself from its intended
prey, soon exhausted its strength, nnd
its cfTnrts becoming gradually weaker
from exhaustion, tho would be captor
becaino the captured, was dragged
screaming beneath the water, and il
death notes choked by tho rippling
aves as they closed over it."

The Eight Jlour Cheat.
No moro coinpleto illustration of
the demagogue has been made I linn
the course of politicians and the action
of the last Congress on the eight hour
law. Tho object of all Ihey have said
and done has been, not to afford relief
tn (bo workingmiiii, or to increase the
amount of his wugus, but (o secure, his
vole. When, n lew years ago, the
fact was published and commented on
Hint in the manufacturing esiublish
mentsof New England ami other parts
of the country young childron were
confined tit work twelve, fourteen nnd
oven sixteen hours a day, without nny
opportunity for recreation or educa
tion, the whole community demanded
the passage of laws reducing ami reg
ulating tbo number of hours in which
children might ba Kept al work. This
was mi net of ineicy as much us the
pttssugo of luws forbidding cruelty to
animals.
But tho movement reducing the
hours of lubor for men first to ten und
then to eight, and especially the law
passed by Congress inuking, in the
Government servico, eight hours a
day's work, has been of a very ditl'er
cnt nature, and had a very different
objoct. Tbo workmen, it is true,
wisbod to obtain tho same compensa
tion for eight hours' work as lor ten
hours, und the politicians favored their
claims for tho sake of obtaining thoir
votes, but they were very careful not
to say that workmen ought to receive
the name compensation for four-filths
na for five-fifths of a given period.
This ground would have been too ab
surd for any man of senso to take.
Hence there has been a constant mis'
onderstanding between tho politicians
snd tho workingmon.
Senator Wilson has been writing a
long letter to keep up this delusion on
the part of the laboring classes, in
which he says: "Congress was asked
" to constitute eight hours a day's
" work. Congress was not asked to
" reduce the pay in proportion to the
" reduction of tho hours, but to fix
" tho number of hours that should
" make tho day's work. Congress.
" believing the Government could
" afford to test the experiment, enact
" ed the eight hour law. By that law
" eight hours constitute a day's work,
" a day's work that commands a day's
" wages."
If Congress intended not only to
diminish the hours of labor, but to
incrense tho compensation per hour,
why did not tho law ray sol Why
did tho law simply say that a day's
work should be eight hours instead of
ten ? This was till lhat it could do;
and for a grnve Senator to wrilo a
: pettifogging document to make il a).
pear intti mo law was designed to
regulate the pay of laborers in tbo
employ of Government, whan single
line would have expressed it, if thore
was any such intention, is an imposi
tion npon tho common sense of tho
people.
In theso remarks wo have not the
slightest design of toiiuhing the ques
tion wholher laboring men generally
uro overpaid, or paid stiflicieiilly, or
not enough for their lubor thut is not
the subject on which wo are writing ;
but what wo aro speaking of is tho
deception practiced by politicians, und
even lawmakcrs.in regard lo reducing
tho hours of labor, intending to have
such laws undorstood in a different
sense from their true nnd intended
meaning. Thoronrsenf tbepolilicians
and the laws themselves area positive
injury to vne class lor whose benefit
they are pretended to bo passed. They
actually reduce their receipts; and
this must bo the cao with nil such
ennetmeiits. No employer will pny
for eight hours' work as much as ho
will fur ten, nnd our legislators must
count largely npon tho stultification
of the eommuiiity before they can
pass such a law. V. )'. Vburrur.

our article, and follow our idea closely,
they w-onl.l, perhaps, Cud that in
mainlniniiig (hu dignity of labor, and
shovtMig its importance to national
nml individual welfare, we would pro,
mote such a condition of general
activity ns would soon render unno
ccssarv all extremes of exertion, by
removing the extremes of want.
Tho present condition of society
imposes lerriblt) burthens eu one class,
becaiiHu other classes have, so to speak,
no burthens lit nil. The entire work
ot tho com in it ii it v. has to be carried on
by only a part of the population.
Were the whole number equally busy,
hall as many hours ol labor in the day
would procure u far more even distri
bution of the comforts of lifo than wo
now behold, and thus not merely ro
lieve the condition of the bulk of man
kind physically, hut givo them oppor
tunities fur intellccluul and moral
improvement that arc now impossible.
Hugo armaments of men for land
and sen service; hungry shoals of
government olliciitls; mere specula
tors on the flesh nnd blood of their
fellow men, would find their occupa
tion roiio, and we should no longer
sec one man iu a palace, while another,
equally deserving, was ut it loss for
ordinary shelter. In fine, the than-,
nels through which lion production
saps away the lileblood of nations
would hu closed, and each man, in
taking a deeper concern in tho condi
tion of the country, would feel the ties
of bis patriotism strengthened.
There have been and still exist na
tions in which the general purticipa
lion in toil became the genera! glory,
while history is full of records to show
that tho growth of classes who simply
lived upon the toil of others was tho
commencement of national decline.
While our own people were united in
common exertion as farmers, hunters,
and mechanics in tho earlier days of
our history, our life ns a people and.
as individuals occupied its highest
