The contest between labor and capital, is the snare and problem of the day in this country. A greater contest than the great political contest. A greater consideration than the Solid North or the Solid South. A contest be tween rich and poor, bread and meat, laborer and employer, land-owner and renter. Knights of Labor said they were going to better things—but only made things worse by foolish strikes. TheFariners Alliance said they were going to better things, but only con tracted and consolidated the mer chants and money-gods. At whose door does the fault and trouble lie? Not at the merchant’s nor money- gods. It lies at the poor man's— the laboring man’s door.

This is one of the dangers of this great, grand and good country. This is the cause of the labor troubles. We have plenty of labor— honest negro labor—who don’t strike and poor white men who don’t throw dynamite.

Pmkinjc discovered a very sis. pie and highly ciiteriaining experiment by means of which the ret ina, with ail its veins and blood vessels st anding out iu relief against it, caw he thrown into tiie air before one’s eyes. It, is called the arborescent figure, from its likeness to a many branched treo, and is produced in the following manner: In a dark room at night move a candle backward and forward before the eyes, these being firmly fix'd on the wall be yond. After a few seconds the air will as sume a reddish appearance, and running over it iu all directions may be seen the veins and blood vessels in bold relief, while toward the center of the figure there rises up a dark trunk, from which the veins branch out on all sides. The trunk is visible where the optic nerve enters the eye, and tills experiment is chiefly interesting to the student as proving that4 he parts of t iie reliu i which actually receive and pro'luce the s. nsaiion of light must lie behind the blood vessois, since these cast their shadow onto it, and we are enabled to see them, as we see any other object, externally.—Chambers’ Jour nal. snowy white her ahiiudnnt brown ! o our cliil- we have u | ‘iJoherf, lieur, how do you .suppose .Mr.Nouh Floyd, who lives a short those dozens uml dozens of empty distance from the Willianishurg line! bottles ever got into the eellarr’ in Clarendon eounty, is W years old, I ‘Why, I don’t know, my dear.
