"Few men are as rich as the poorest ought to be," Emerson, we believe, re marked some time before the rise of Van derbilt, Gould and Maekay. Poverty is no crime, but it is certainly a serious misfortune and every one wishes to get the better of it as rapidly as possible. It is a delusion of some dyspeptic philos opher that the condition of the laboring man is gradually becoming worse and worse, while only to those who have is more given. This is certainly a serious error. The invention of machinery and the application of steam have undoubted ly done much to augment the wealth of the rich men, but very much more to im prove the condition of the laboring class es the world over. Machinery does the work of thousands, but machinery has no intelligence, and it takes intelligence to operate it; consequently instead of dis placing labor it has enlarged its province and greatly increased its rewards. Comparing the condition of the labor ing man to-day with what it was one cen tury or two centuries ago, it is seen that the changes wrought by civilization have been far greater for him than for those of the upper classes. Indeed there is less idleness to-day among the wealthy men of Englahd and America than ever before- The working man has better houses to live in, better food, more leisure, better clothes to wear and greater opportunities for education. Intemperance is the great curse of the laboring classes. It detracts from the value of a man's work; it do- creases his power to earn money; it squanders his means; it destroys his home and makes his children vagabonds. Lift this great curse from the working man and lie would be another creature; if he is kept down it will be from intem -1 crance, rather than from the opposition or tyranny of capital. That the condition of the working class es is steadily improving is clearly shown not only by the census in this country, but also in England, France and Germa ny. If this was not so, population would not increase at the rate it docs. When men, women and children have poor food or none at all, when they are scantily clothed and are exposed to the weather, their constitutions break down, they sick en and die, and soon their children fol low them. When the population increas es constantly, it is plain that living is cheap and that a people is reasonably happy. The emigration from Germany has been very large of late years, and the general impression is that labor is in a very depressed condition; yet in spite of all this, since 1875 the population of Ger mane has increased 2,51)0,000. Assassination, whether by pistol or newspaper, will be stamped out by the American people with righteous and in dignant accord.— Senator Colliding. The above sentence occurs in an iuter tiew in which Mr. Conkling denounces in the strongest language the attempted assassination of the President, and refers to the attempt made by certain papers, notably the Tribune and Louisville Cour- ier-Journal, to connect, even in a remote way, tin; names of Senator Coukling and Vice President Arthur with that of the assassiu. It is a sentence which will command attention, and bring the Ameri can people face to face with the question Whether it is not entirely just to rank the assassin of a reputation, who lurks be hind the protection of his paper, along side with the midday assassin who com mits his deed and is prepared to take the consequences of his act. — Ogdemburgli Journal. The following has been prepared by the Third Assistant Postmaster General: During the fiscal year ending June JO, the number of ordinary postage stamps issued was 954,118,000, valued at #24,- 040,000. The increase over last year in number was 78,440,000, valued at #1,020,- 000. The number of postage stamps, news paper and periodical stamps, stamped envelopes, newspaper wrappers, postage due stamps and postal cards issued was 1,299,770,000, the value #34,483,000. In crease in number 130,349,000, the value #2,551,000. The total value of all issues including official stamped envelopes and wrappers was 1,504,311,000, the value #34,025,000. The increase in newspaper and periodical stamps and newspaper wrappers over last year was twelve per cent in number, and eleven and twelve per cent respectively in value, which is the largest per cent of increase, with the exception of postal cards, which is thir teen per cent. Very few of those who have used the expression, "He's a brick," know that it comes from Plutarch. An ambassador from Epirus was sliowd by Kiijg Agesi laus of Sparta over his capital, and ex pressed surprise at the absence of walls and fortifications. "Come to-morrow," quothed the King, "and 1 will show you our walls." On the morrow he showed him an array of 10,900 men, remarking, "each one is a brick." John A. Appleton, of the no tad publish ing firm of Appleton & Co., of New York, died Wednesday, at Clifton, L. 1., in his 05th vear. IS 1 'SINMSN LOCALS. Go to G. 8 Ackley & Co's for cheap Cow Hay. 90.
