Tho coming summor promises to be
signaled, o vor all predecessors by great
labor disturbances. In Paris, and
throughout. Contirieutal Europe,' the
revolution baa already commenced, and
ia eomo of tho capitals, reached a point
fruitful; of aj?rm to the Governments.
Bj toe immense immigration of tho past
few Weeks from England, we can Bee the
same elements at work there, perhaps on
a slower, but yet larger scale, and ere
long, fully, ?no fourth of the artisan
population os Eorope will become not
only non-producing, but possibly ar?
rayed flguiosfc tho good order and inter?
ests of society. No battle ever fonght
since the world began, could equal in
importance this great labor contest, upon
the issue'ol' which, depend the world's
destinies* We all know the power of
capital, and have seen the scattered forces
of its competitor gradually organizing
and consolidating, growing every day
moro prensing in exactions and more de?
terminedly hostile. The result has been
to dnvo'the :cost of living rapidly up?
wards to an enormous figaro, to beget
ruinous extravagance, to foster, vice and
all kindred elements of social discord.
We do not expect tho strikes to remove
any of these evils. lu some places they
will succeed and in others fail. In ei tb er
caso, however, they will only act as in?
centives ! to new demands and new
troubles, culminatingeventually in popu?
lar revolutions, by which means the
widening golf between wealth and pov?
erty can'- alono be orossed. Our own
country, in spite of its many natural ad
vantages; is lib?ly to participate in the
general turmoil; but with our extended
territory, it cannot result in such serious
consequences as in Europe, where over?
crowded communities have only two
modes of relief-through war or emigra?
tion. ? few obstinate men will bo beg?
gared in the battle, and a large hole will
be made in our national wealth by tho
loss of productiveness, whioh timo and
taxes will necessarily have to make up.
So much for the strikers.
That General Jordan ia ooming to tho
United States may be regarded as a
certainty, but what condition he is com?
ing in, is still a subject for wonderment.
The New York Sun, and other journals
in the insurgent interest, say that he is
coming as a special envoy to Congress,
to urge the young republic's claims to
recognition, and that it is all right. On
the other hand, we know ambassadors
seldom embark on small open boats, or
carry with them a crowd of ragged
soldiers, unless under very strong per?
suasion. . Jordan's mission, therefore,
appears to us very .much in the light of a
skedaddle.

SUNDAY IN PARIS.-Next Sunday, the
8th of Muy, the special election will take
place in the French Empire to deoido
upon the ameliorations and concessions
of the Empire, and also upon the con?
tinuance of the Emperor's dynasty in
the person of bia son. Sunday is the day
of the week in Paris, and all over Franco
the day of races, theatres, concerts, balls,
promenades, excursions and marching,
and also the day of elections.
Harper's Bazar, treating of tho effect
of simplicity in the midst of elaborate
and expensive artifice, says: "Let n
young woman, with no hair but her own,
and that simply dressed, enter a room
filled with those whose head? are elabo?
rately built up with a profusion of pur?
chased locks, and see who will bo most
admired. Ic is a great udvantago for u
woman, in tbeso days of artifice, to "re?
main herself, and thus be unlike every
one else. A simple dress, white or
black, will produce tho greatest effect
when surrounded by tho most gorgeous
costumes. These serve, as it wero, as
frames for the former, and women aro
often forced to confess that they have
draped themselves magnificently, nt an
immense expense, for no other puposo
than to heighten, by contrast, tho
beauty of a rival. In fact, they have
been wearing a dress which is very be?
coming to-others."
BADLY SOLD.-At the Express Com?
pany's sale of unopened packages, Sa?
turday lust, there wore many wild und
venturesome bids by gentlemen eager to
go into the lottery. Tho best joke is
told of two well-known hardware mer?
chants of this city. Seeing a box marked
"Hon. B. F. Rundolpb," (the defunct
martyr,) they began to surmise ns to ita
contents, and finding it somewhat pon?
derous, concluded that it contained pis?
tols or revolvers. They immediately
formed au extemporaneous copartner?
ship and bid it in for $41. On opening
their prize, tho box was found to con?
tain about 20,000 pewter medals of Grunt
and Colfax, .which the martyr, doubtless,
intended for campaign purposes. Per?
sons desiring to purchase medals, can get
them cheap nt the stores of Messrs.-.

Greenville furnishes the PH?OTX the
following account of a brutal murder in
that Ooun*y: jf J' ?jp J ? ' \
Capt. Ti A. H?tecl?T^'re8idipg"eigbt
miles abovo Greenville Court Hon se,
was brutally murdered on Sunday ovou
ibg, the 1st inst. ^He fcodhis wif??waik
ed out ' after tea Borne 600 yards to a
neighbor's house, and hod started home
about 9 o'clock p.m.; they wore going
through a small strip of woods, where it
was dark, and dipt. H. was struck by
some unknown person, in the head with
an axe. He foll against his wife, which
ularmed her, and ?be ran off, screaming
and aroused the neighbors, and they
hurried to the place, but found the
Captain dead. There was one cut above
the eye, which knocked out his brains,
aud a cat in the back of the head, about
four inches deep-either of which would
have killed him instantly. His wife was
so frightened that she oould tell nothing
about the affair, except that the mur?
derer was a large man; but could not
say whether he was white or black. No
clue to the murderer.
Tho Philadelphia Day mournfully in?
quires: "The city in whioh American
independence was declared and tho Con?
stitution framed, appears io bo fast fad?
ing from the minds of men in authority.
Gan nothing be done for the birth-plaoo
of liberty-st city containing nearly
1,000,000 of intelligent people? Nothing
to save it from sinking into political in?
significance?"
An enterprising business man of Hart?
ford, Gonn., ru ns two branches of trade,
to wit: a grocery aud fish market; the
grocery himself, the fish market by a
deputy, and every night the latter makes
returns of the proceeds of the dav's
business to the proprietor. A few days
since the grocer found in his fish market
returns a counterfeit fire-dollar bill. He
didn't like to lose it, and didn't quite
want to take the chances of trying to
pass it. So ho called au old darkey who
was hanging about the premises, and
said to him:
"Sam, here's a five-dollar bill that's a
little doubtful. If you'll take it and
pass it, 111 give you a dollar of the
change."
"Vory well," eaid Sam, and he took
tho bill und went off. Later in the day,
he returned, having accomplished the
feat, and handed over four dollars in
good mouey to tho grocer.
That night the grocer, in counting tho
cash returns from his fish market, was
more surprised than delighted to find
tho identical five in the pile.
"Look here," said he sharply to his
fish market clark, "hero's a counterfeit
bill-who'd ye toko it of? Didn't you
kuow 'twas bad?"
The clerk took it und looked at it n
moment.
"Oh! yes." said ho, "I remember now;
I took it o? Sam, tho darkey. I thought
it was u little doubtful, and wasn't going
to tuke it, but ho said he got of you, so I
thought it was all right."
NOAH ON HAM.-In that racy series of
papers, "Dowu Among the Dead Men,"
in the Old Guard, for March, we find the
following about tho veteran journalist.
Major Noah :
"Tho Major," as he was always called
by his friends, though always standing
np stoutly for the honor of his race, wus
not very strict in tho observance of the
Hebrew religion. Some one, nettled at
something hu had said, spoke of him as a
I "pork-eating Jew." He laughed when
told of it. "I don't admire pork," he
said, "but I plead guilty to a weakness
for its hind leg, when all tho Christian
has beeu taken out of it by Bait and
smoke nnd-hanging. I know that tho
first Noah cursed liam, but he was re?
covering from a had drunk at the time.
There is no reason why the lust Noah
should do it without any provoeatiou
especially if tho ham bu juicy, and the
Noah hungry-"
"But Moses, Major-"
"Oh, Moses was perfectly right, under
tho circumstances. I don't suppose that
there was n man in all Palestine who un?
derstood how to cure a ham. Moses tells
us we mustn't mar tho corner of our
beards-, and yet ninety-nine hundreds of
the Jews shave as close as I do."
"And so tho Major nto his ham, and
took tho responsibility."
A TEMPERANCE FAMILY IN NEVADA.
It consisted of tho husband, his wife and
two grown sons. Tho old lady was tho
only one of the family who did not, take
a lut le of t lie "O, ho joyful." Sitting by
thc fire a few minutes, the old mun tipped
a wink, and the visitor followed him out.
Stoppiug by a shed, ho pulled out a long
nocked bottle, remarking, "I have to
keep this hid, for tho boys might get to
drinking, aud the old woman would raise
the devil." Tlioy took a drink and re?
turned to tho Oro sido. Soon, Tom, tho
eldest son, asked the visitor ont to seo a
horse, und taking him behind the barn,
pulled out a flask, remarking, "I have to
keep this hid, for tho old mau will get
drunk, and then the cl-I is to pay;"and
they both took a drink and returned.
Soon, Bob stepped on tho visitor's too
and walked off, tho visitor following. As
Uiey reached the pig pen, Bob drew out a
good sized bottle, remarking, "You know
tho old man and Tom will get drunk, and
i have to hide this." Our friend con?
cluded ho could not stand it to drink
confidentially against tho whole family,
aud started back to Gold Hill.

A Very Valuable Book.
WE always take pleasure in recommend?
ing a book which has all thu qualities
that meet our ideal of what a good book
nhould he; in which the subject is ono of in?
terest and importance, tho Style attractive
and pleasing, ami thu illustrations and details
lucid and completo. Wo find such a book in
tho "J'fople'a Edition of Conybenrc and How?
son* a Liff and Epist ea ff St. J'au'" just re?
published in this countrv hy the NATIONAL
PUBLISHING COMPANY, of Cincinnati.
This work has all the attractiveness of
fiction, in thu exciting events of its narratives,
with tho certainty that thoy are tho truthful
records of well-authenticated facts; embrac?
ing graphic and eloquent delineations of the
early life, oduuation, conversion, touchings,
labors, travels, sufferings, perils, persecu?
tions and missionary career ot tho great
Apostle. It Stauda alone and unapproacha?
ble iu its speciality; all that could bu desired,
in the way of history, statement, comn.ent.
criticism and illustration, rotating to tho vital
subject of which it treats. Tho great learn?
ing and power, aud beauty of st\lo, do
not constitute its highest praise. Thia is
found in its moral and religious spirit, iu its
pre-eminent Christian candor and imparti?
ality, in ita solemn earnestness for historic
truth, it H manly and uuwavoring faith in the
doctrines proclaimed by tho fearless subject
of its biography, all combining to mabu it
ono of the grandest monuments of saiictilicd
intellect and learning ever reared to honor of
Sacred Truth.
Never have wo soon such an array of great
names, giving their unqualified commenda?
tions of a book, us wo lind in tho publishers'
circular; names of mon whoso self-respect
and personal character and position make
them exceedingly chary how they endorso anj
thing that docs not como up to a high stand?
ard of excellence, or that does not meet with
their hearty approval.
This reprint will be moro highlv prized than
anv other, as it is the only COMPLETE EDITION
published in this country with translater
notes.
It has in addition an able and exceeding!}
valuable dissertation hy Dr. Leonard Bacon
tho eminent Professor of Theology in Yali

LAJIOH.-Labor, honestlabor, is mighty
and beautiful. Activity is tho ruling
element of life, aud its highest relish.
Luxuries and conquest are tho results of
labor; wo can imagine nothing without
it. Tho noblest man of earth is ho who
puts hands cheerfully nnd proudly to
honest labor. Labor is a business and
ordiuanco of God. Suspend labor, and
whero is the glory and pomp of the
earth-tho fruit, fields and palaces, and
tho fashiouings of matter for which men
strive and war? Let tho labor-scorner
look to himself, and learn what aro the
trophies. From tho crown of his head
to tho sole of his foot, unless ho is a
Carib, naked as tho beast, ho is the
debtor aud slave of toil. The labor
which ho scorns, hus tricked him into
the stature and appearance of a man.
Whore gets ho his garmenting and
equipage? Lot labor answer. Labor
which makes music in tho mino and fur?
row, and tho forgo. O, scorn labor, do
you-man who never yet earned a mor?
sel of bread I Labor pities you, proud
fool, and laughs you to scorn. You shall
pass to dust, forgotten, but labor will
live on forever, glorious in its conquests
and monument.

OrixioN OF THE PUESS.-Wo take pleasure in
calling the attention of our roaders to a very
remarkable medicine, a notice of which ap?
pears in the (Jbserrer this morning-Heiuitsh's
"QUEEN'S DELIUUT." There must be some?
thing in it, for wu hear it spoken of as a pr??
parai inn of much merit, and ono prepared by
Ur. Heinitsh himself, of distinguished phar?
maceutical reputation. The euphonious sou?
briquet, ''QUEEN'S DELIGHT," haB in itself an
attraction which should commend it to our

KOSKOO.-Tho Norfolk Daily Journal, of
December ll, 18C9, Bays:
This medicino is rapidly gaining confi?
dence of tho people, and tho numerous testi?
monials of its virtues, given by practitioners of
medicine, leaves un doubt that it is a safe and
reliable remedy for IMPURITY OK THE liLOOD,
LIVER DISEASE, Ac."
The la*t Me ural Journal contains an arti?
cle Irom Prof. lt. S. Newton, M. D., President
ol' thu li Mcdi-Gollego, city of Now York, that
musks in high terms of its curativo proper?
ties, and gives a special recommendation of
Kotikoo to the practitioners of medicine.
This is, we believe, Hie tiret instance where
such medicines have been officially endorsed
by the Faculty of any of tho Medical Colleges,
aiid reflects great credit upon tho skill of Dr.
Lawrence, its compounder, and also puts
"Koskoo" in the VAN of all other medicines
