Tho present trouble has resulted, as is usually the case, in throwing thousands of nun out of employment, with but little prospect at this season of the -eur of obtaining it elsewhere. Again ami again this lesson has j been Impressed upon tho American laborers, and yet they cling to their loaders with a tenacity worthy of a better cause. Doubtless many of the griovunc.es <>f the Knights ot Labor ure real and burdensome. At tho outset, public opinion ap peared to be in favor of the labor er-, hui subsequent events turned the tide against them. If these men do not reeei\e compensation commensurate with the work ro qui ed, all that they can do is to slop work. When they seid; by individual exertion, .or through their organized society, to doter others from taking their place; when they de dare their purpose to comp? I by force a suspension ol* work, then they are Interfering with private property and are themselves trespassers. Many of the leaders of labor organisations of tho West aro but little better than tiie Nihilists of Russia-they are tho Socialists of America. Les son after lesson must be taught j them, and yet they blindly lead their followers into trouble. Augusta, Qa. ls just now agitated over tho prospect of a strike among the operatives of tbe cotton facto ries. These operatives have been persuaded that tho mills are ma king an enormous profit, without advancing wages, when the fact is tlie mills have been heretofore run at a considerable loss, paying no dividend, and they are just now beginning to be self-sustaining and make a small profit, ff the threat ened strike is carried out, what will be the condition of tho thousands of operatives of Augusta. The mills show no inclination to suc cumb, and indeed, they are not in a condition to pay more than living rates. Heretofore the operatives have lived comfortably upon tho saim wages,and now, because thu loadcVs of the Knights of Labor or ganizations have taken up tho idea < bat the mills are making money out of thom, they aro bringing about a movement that eau only result in throwing (liousaiidsof men, women and children penniless upon the world, without a home. We may see only one side of tho questions, but their action appian's to us tIii? sheerest folly. Put Contract-breakers to Work. Cpo i our tn tu to books is found un act authorizing the County Corn all: -?on? rs and officers of munici pal corporations to employ con victs, penfenced lo bard labor, tip on the highways or upon tho pub lie streets within tho limits of the < orpornto '.ow ns or cities, Tlie first section provides that the "authorities w hich, under ex isting laws have power to sentence i convicts to confinement in prisons, may, within their discretion, Im pose the condition of hard labor aol exceeding ninety days." rn the 2d Section, public high Wnys, roads, bridges and other pub lic works are mentioned as places w here liiey may find employment. They -hall bc limier tho direction of the County Commissioners. This Act took effect Dec. 22(1, 1885, but as yet we have not beard of any Trial Justice or ot her Judi cial Officer exorcising tho power conferred. Perhaps it would bo well, if wo ure ever to try the experiment, to sentence laborers who violate their Contract, so thal tho County cnn, if deemed advisable, get the benefit of their services. Without going into the question as to the constitutionality of pun ishing men for violations of civil contracts; if we punish violators at a'l, 'in days in jail is entirely in adequate. Let tho Trial Justices throughout tho County ?entonce these offenders to hard labor and ore long we will have n strong force at work on our roads, if noth ing else is accomplished. When.WOSOO column after col umn In dally newspapers devoted to base-ball, cud the millions of money spent to wit ness the games, It is refreshing to know that the country cnn afford to pay for such ft Farming Out imbeciles. There is no Institution connoctod with the County that hus a higher claim upon thc people? than the County Poor-house, and yet it is often the most neglected. The proper support of these whom na ture has slighted in tho distribu tion of gifts, is an imperative duty, and the manner in which it ls done, shews tho moral status of a com munity. Aims-hou -es are designed for those w ho ure not able to w ork, and are thereby incapiable of earn ing ii support, lt often happens that worthy persons are reduced to the necessity of seeking refuge in such places and it ls but right that they bo properly cared for and treated as human beings, benring beneath the rugged garments which tickle fortune has placed upon them, a heart and an immortal stud, lt will not do to make such pinces at tractive; it is not necessary to sup ply them with luxuries; but it is a duty which humanity owes the un fortunate, to provide bu- them de cently. Many ol' our Poor-houses are positively disgraceful, and tile mode of treatment which their in mates receive, is a reflection upon our civilization. The present system of longing" out the binds sot apart for the mntnte nnncc of paupers, to the person w ho will caro for them nt the low - est price, i<, we think, wrong. We cannot sanction a system timi not only throws the weak nod helpless ; upon the the cold charity of one man. bul it reduces them to the most abject slavery. Tho keeper of the Poor-house, who receive-only a nominal sum, must force ti ie paupers lo undergo lite harshest treatment. The most cruel slave-owners of A nh' Helium days have never equalled in cruelly and oppression, the action of -onie of these task masters. 11 seems to us a bel 1er plan would be to allow ti sum su 111 clo nt to maintain each worthy object of charity in tho County, and Instead of letting tho paupers out to thc lowed bidder, let the County Com missioners select a responsible per son to superintend and provide for them. Instead of the farcical ex amination at stated periods, lot tho aids of tho superintendent be con stantly re vio wed by tho grand jury. Such a plan would avoid many of tho objectionable features of tho prosent system of qunsl-slavery. How Every Farmer Can Have Fruit All Summer. Every family w ho ow ns a small spot nf land can have fruit all sum mer with very little labor,yet there are hundreds of families without fruit. A spot of ground forty or fifty foet square in an ordinary gar don, will produce all the fruit that any family will need. Strawber ries, raspberries and grapes seldom fail to bear In this country because the fruit is not killed in the bloom by frost. Straw berrie's will yield two hundred bushels per acre, .and three or four square rods will pro duce as much as one family will need; they begin to ripen the last of April in this country, and con tinue through May. Raspberries conic in about tho time strawber ries disappear, and n fow vines will supply a family. Five or six grape vines will bear a greater quantity than one family w ill need for cuting, these w ill !>?. in season from tho first of August until frost if different varieties are planted. No family will be without fruit if they will take can- a small phil of ground std apart for these throe kinds of vines. Where land is :;n Object a grape vine may bo trained to grow over the kitchen window or door, again-: (he side of a stable or barn, as it may lind support rm a shade tree, in any ol' which placea it will be ornamental as weil as use ful. Raspberries will grow in (ho corners of I he lenee or beside Hie garden wall, and strawberries will grow and bear spontaneously if started ill an old Held, bul all the do best when properly cultivated. Given little attention to these and you will never fail lo have un abun dnnce of fruit for your ehildn n. The Editor's Greatest Trial. Said Or. Talinngo lu thc cours . of bi- excellent sermon on "News? papers" al che Hrooklyn Taberna cle on Sunday! "One of the gr??t es I trials of a newspaper man's life arises from the laid that all the -bains of the world make tho nows paper office their customary -(amp ing ground. Cranks ol' all shades and tv pen congregate there and harass tho weary toiler with their senseless ravings. Dumb mean ness is there too, which wants to get Its wares praised In the edito rial column, and thus escape pay ing for an advertisement. Crack brained, idle-patod philosophers tile in, w ith stories as long ns their bair, and us gloomy as their finger nails. People wonder thur news paper men are irreligious; but for my part I Wonder that a newspaper man, confronted us he ls, day by day, with the pott!ness, tho mean ness, the folly of mankind, believes In anything! Were it not for his early training at lils mother's knee out on the farm, lessons which can never i>.> entirely effaced, he would cease believing altogether." -Few monarchs can boast of progeny so illustrious as King Christian IX of Denmark.

The ex tra ours were smaller than the natural ones and grew just behind and attached to those organs. The extra nose was on top of the natu ral nose, but there were no aper tures, and the extra eyebrows and eyelashes Mere just above the cheek bone. At this point there was a murk on either side of tho face that resembled n closed eye. Another strange feature of tin face was a line between the chin and Iowan* lip w hich resembled a (dosed mouth, but there Was no opening there either.
