The reason given by another clerk for the poverty of the class to which he be longed was curious, lie said that the enormous influx of Germans into the coun try had lessened the price of clerk's labor. "They actually offer to come," said he, "for six months without any salary at all, if it is agreed that at the end of that time they shall have £f>o to £7O a year for their work. They live mostly if) the north of London, and walk to their work. What they eat at home 1 don't know; but in the city here thev go to alamode-beef shops, where they can get a plate of thick stew or a small piece of corned beef for six pence, and that, with some bread and a glass of water is sufficient for them. They can even get sauerkrout for two pence, and some of them eat that only and bread. Many of them club together in twos, and even threes, for one bedroom in and there live at the rate of about three shillings a week apiece. You see they possess a great advantage over English clerks. They know German naturally; English they have learned, and some of them speak Fiench. English clerks, as a rule, only know their own language. The employers find that Germans can keep ac counts just as well as Englishmen, that they will not object to work as late or as early as may be requested, and that they want next to nothing in the shape ol" sal ary. These are great considerations, es pecially in hard times, and those who have large offices cannot, overlook them. Then, again, with the exception of the head clerks, the work which shippers', merchants' and brokers' clerks have to do is very easy, and really not worth large pay it might almost always be done by mere lads. With smooth (lowering phrase, crisp sentences, eloquent words and acute criti cism which sparkles and shines in humor and wit, says the Oil City Derrick, Inger soll has captivated many minds, and found numerous reader.-. In discourses which attract attention like a thrilling romance, in lofty (lights of imagination which interest and fascinate, lie is able by his elegant use of language to infuse principles which would be rejected in a coarser setting. But though his words are smooth and his ideas as fascinating as a tale of Arabia, we cannot but re joice that lie eannot overthrow the taitli of a future life. The death bed is at ali times and in all circumstances, sad and horribly mysterious to the living. What must it be then to the person dying, unless he is sustained by the hope of seeing those he loves, again? The simple faith thai the wife will meet her husband, and husband his wife, the parent the child, smooths ihod\ iug pillow as the mother's hand cools the brain of the stricken son. We can imagine a happy death-bed, where the aged wife waits longingly for the parting breath, secure and earnest in her belief that she is to meet her husband who lias gone before, even as if she was setting out on a journey to another town. There is no fear and dread to such an one. It is this great faith, this wondrous joy of dying, which Ihgersoll would kill by quaint and subtile ways., And when lie does so, men well may fear to live. California has been enforcing the new constitution, compelling all corporations to dismiss tljeir Chinese laborers. The hill just signed by the Governor punishes with a line of £IOO to SI,OOO or imprisonment from 50 to 500 days or both, any director of any present or future cor poration organized under California law that shall "employ in any manner or ca pacity upon any work or business of such corporation any Chinese or Mongolian." A second offences is punishable by a fine of from SSOO to $5,000, or 250 days to two years in prison or both. The charter of the corporation may also be annulled —an authority which it is claimed the Legis lature derives from the 4 'granger act," recently passed. Kearny and his Hand Lotters arc jubilant. But the leading cor porations propose to resist the law as un constitutional. The validity of the act will be determined by the United States Supreme Court. But the way that capi tal is leaving California is a warning. Millions are being transferrred to New York for the glory of Kearny and his followers. I'roctor Knott, of Kentucky, who gained a wide reputation as a humorist by a speech on Duluth some years ago, enliv ened the proceedings of the House the other day with a speech on corporations. Beginning with a reference to "the extra ordinary multiplication and enormous ag grandizement" of corporations "organ ized for every conceivable purpose that cupidity or caprice can suggest," he said of them: "Turn which way we will, we are confronted by these ideal entities, these incorporeal, intangible faculties, these viewless, soulless, bloodless beings whom an omnipotent God never created, and foi whom there is no provision in the plan of salvation."
