FS POWDER. & Brand Warranted Safe Prom Premature Explosion. A Circular Not Intended For th Ejc, Bnt Concerning Matters In the Public Are Deeply The Bine of the Tree St. Loom, March 26.—Th® following remarkable circular was made public this morning. It is the first official ut-tei-ince ol Gene-- - 'aster Workman Powderly ol the lights ad Labor, and in it he defines w. A startling clearness his very sensible views concerning strikes, boycotting, the eight-hour system and other important questions concerning organized labor:

The only nat -vuLvuu, a uuc. mo omy uat uralsequence is a relapse, and a re laps loll ttiore medicine and a weake iway8 means more medicine and a weaker patient than before. You must bear with read this letter to the end, for it may be the last one I will ever write to yon* My duties to the order and humanity must not be measured by the standard of dollars and cents. My policy must no longer be mis understood. While I, as the chosen mouth n AOA nf tha nviln* an. :_:_. . . . . mv.w.ww. • * uuv *| WO VUO VUUOUU UlUUkll' piece^ of the order, am proclaiming to the Knights of Labor do not ad ntAllfiriAQ Dfwil.no nnfil /...A — world that the nm^uts u» unour uo no* au vocate or countenance strikes until ever other remedy has failed, the wires from ’ thousand cities and towns are bearing th news of as many strikes by Knights of La oor. In which arbitration and conclliatioi were never hinted at. Jfot that alone, bu }f®y wei e in many cases scorned and re jecteu by ourown members. In some case these strikes were entered upon against th' advice of the general executive board. It 1 claimed by our members that arbitration I . one-sided. That may be true of the pasi but voluntary concessions made to us with in the last three months prove most conclu slvsly that the Just claims of labor will b llBtenea to If we go forward In the wav w started out. It Is claimed that this Is a yea for concessions and advances. Be that as I may, we can not force them by striking. •.1 V® awar® that the machinery ol our or der Is not capable of performing the tworl *tle large gains In membership and this fact must have a restraining Thflu ence upon our members until the next kcu oral assembly meets. Five hundred assent biles were added to the roll In February—a many as were organised In the first elgh year's of the order’s existence.^ It Is no within the bounds of human possibility t. expect that all of these new recruits can b properly trained before the asserfihlie founded. The organizers seldor visit them for instructions bu once, and this Is not enougt ^.ney must devote their spare moments U educating those already organized befor adding any more new assemblies to the or J}®** Tqattempt to win concessions or gain with our present raw, undisciplined mem perthlp would belike burling an unorgan Ued mob again** a well-drilled regala army. Again, it ignot fair to the older as semblles to bring In new members, pick ui their onarrels as soon as organized, am nave them expect pecuniary aid from thosi who helped build the order up for a nob! purpose, dt is not wise to give men am women a premium for joining us. It 1 wrong to encourage them In the idea tha ii!eYax.haTe aotbing to do themselves that they are tp lean upon others; they mus depend upon themselves, and in any chs can not receive assistance Inside of sh months, and I will hold out no Inducement: that will encoorage them in the belief tha they wUl receive assistance even then.

" w u»v« Dull it up a moral tore© that will command a hearing for us before auy tribunal In the country. We must not fritter *way our strength and miss the golden opportunity to erpwn every effort with success •*y rushing into useless strikes. To the car'Unal principles of the order we must add another—-patience. You have had patience for years, and had not the Knights of Labor appeared upon the scene you would still be waiting. Your scales .Pric®« must stand as they are ♦or the present if you can not raise, them-|u& tiny other process than a strike. You must 'ubmit to Injustice at the bauds ot the emdoyer In patience for a whftf longer. Bide your time.

Find out how much von ureJustly entitled to. and then the trl>nnal of arbitration will settle the rest. Or■anlzers who publish au account ot their work to the world; assemblies that publish »n account of their strength to the world, and members, whether public or private, vbospeak boastingly of onr strength to tbe world, are very Indiscreet. Mind your own msiness. Keep your own counsel. If the world wishes to learn anything concerning »'. let It ask for information. It it is proper to give the Information, we may do it. Where we win a victory let us be magnanmous, and not boast of it or speak slight - 'Ugly of the vanquished He who does so Is a coward. Each district assembly, each local assembly must appoint a competent committee on Instructions, to teach onr members whist the order was intended for. I have no advice as to how much they should hoe taught. Let them learn all they can.

In selecting offl,oers to manage a banking conoe -n the men •best qualified are chosen. Ibe itsh.-lncon sldarate man Is set aside; the man who Is quick ot temper and hasty oil speech Is passed over, and the man ot ma.tnrer ladgment and business qualities Is selected. I am pained to witness the quality of men some parts of 0u5f order select for Important work. These words of mine must be heeded or this order goes down as surely as night follows day. Kl<»ct no man becanse of his fine speech or Impetuosity; put none but the coolest men In positions of any kind. Keep them there ana uphold them In their work. It is not the duty ot an offloer to picture the wrongs of man until he excites his assembly to fever heat. Heaven knows the Indignities which labor complains of are grievous euough, and require no painting. We must look at them as' they really exist, ahd settle them as best we can. While I Write, a dlspatoh is handed me la which I read these words: “They discharged $ur brother and we struck, for you know our motto Is ‘An injury to one is the conoern of all."' Yes, “an injury to one is the concern of all,'* but it is not wise tio injure all tot the sake of one. It would have beeu far bettor to continue at work and properly investigate the matter, bringing it before every known tribunal;, than to have struck. The thousands of men now earning nothing could have given ten cents apiece to support the brother for a few weeks much ensibr than to spend weeks and months m Idleness. Mauy of them will Jiever be restored to their former positions, n this case the injury to one was not repaired, and all concerned will be more or less Injured. We could have prevented our brother from being injured bv assisting him in a far different?way. Zeal in the cause sometimes brings on the discharge of a member. Sometimes a too open expression of opinion docs It. It is not necessary to In* dulge in the latter. Now a word on another subject. The church has been watching our order for years. In our Infancy we had but little power for good or for evil; to day we are the strongest, as well as the weakest,’ labor organization On earth. Strong ih numbers and pkinelp?es°; strong in the justice of our demands, if properly made, we are weak in the methods we use to set our claims before the world, striaes are often tue forerunners of lawless actions One blow brings oh another, and if a single act of ours encourages the anarchist element we must meet with the antagonism of the church. I warn our members against hasty, ill-con-sidered action. The church will not interfere with ns so long as we maintain the law. If the law is wrong, ft is our duty to change It I am ashamed to meet with clergymen and others to tell them that our order is composed of law-abiding, intelligent men, while the next dispatch brings the news of some petty boycott or strike. The daily papers have a column devoted to strikes and boycotts every day, and some of the causes are ridiculous. I write this circular to lay before the order the exact conditions of things. 1 am neither physically nor mentally capable of perform fng the work required of me. I am willing to do my part, but must not be asked to main - tain a false position before the world any longer. One two things must take place; either the local and district assemblies of the order must obey its laws, or 1 must be permitted to resign from a position which obliges me play one part before the public and another to onr members. I sav to the wcr*d that the Knights of Labor do ‘not approve of or encourage strikes, aud in one day dispatches come to me to come to iroj,, N.Y., Manchester, N. H., Chicago, 111.. Cincinnati, O., Lynchburg, Va.» Springfield, O., and Montreal, Can. It is impossible for hu - nan nature to stand the strains any longer. bust have the assistance of the order, or my most earnest efiorts will fail. Will 1 have It? If so, strikes must he avoided; boycotts must be avoided. Those who boast must be checked by their assemblies. No move must be made until the court of last resort has been appealed Threats of Violence must not be made. Politicians must be hushed up or driven out. Obedience to the laws of knighthood must have preference over those of any other order. * If these things are done the next five years will witness the complete emancipation of mankind from the corse 5f monopoly. In onr members we require secrecy, obedience, assistance, patience and courage. If with these aids you strengthen my hands I will continue in the work If you do not desire to assist me In this way, then select a man better qualified io obey your will, and I will retire In his favor. <> T. ¥ Powderly.

DISHONEST BOYS. A tew Words Concerning the Temptations In the Way at Young Men. The two clerks of the First National Bank of Bradford who, though scarcely more than boys, managed to dispose of sixty thousand dollars of J the bank’s money in an effort to get rich in oil speculations were a little more precocious than the speculative rascal usually is. Ordinarily the boy waits and works till till he is cashier or president of the bank before he engages in wheat, oil or took specnlati ops, or carries the deposits bodily off to Canada. There is nothing, however, in the Bradford defalcation that should surprise anybody. The average boy at twenty thinks he ought to have as much salary or income as his father at fifty. He doesn’t want to go through the long course of hard work, self-de-nial ana experience to be able to obtain it that his father did, either. In fact, he wants to begin at the top of the ladder in the matter of income and expenditures. Very naturally he looks about for a short cut to wealth. With this natural desire for plenty of money, with little work, which nearly every boy possesses, let any boy be placed in a great speculative center, where he sees men make fortunes in ,a day by a lucky turn in prices, and give him an opportunity to handle money in large quantities and the temptat on to tife it in speculations of this kind will be almost irresistible The wonder is not that boys sometimes go \v,„,.g under such circumstances, but that they do not do so much more frequently. three prf There are two or practical reflections that grow naturally out of this Bradford affair. The first is that the rage for wealth and display which has seized upon people with matured powers and plenty of experience may be expected to spread to the boyswho hate as yet seen but little of the world and for that reason are easily caught by mere glitter. This being a natural consequence, it is not best for bank officials to leave too great temptations in the way of mere ways. If nu n of experience and maturity can scarcely be found who are able to withstand the temptations which go along with the handling of large sums of money, common prudence would teach that there was more danger in laying too great responsibility upon boys scarcely out oi! their teens. Let the boys be given work for awhile that doesn t carry with it so much temptation.— Philadelphia Timt s. Pet Witches of the Carolines. The natives', of the Caroline Islands are firm believers in sorceiy, but instead of burning their witches they tfy to conciliate them in every possible ws.y, especially by leaving presents at their door in nispt time, never doubting that the wisdbm of the bruxa will enable her to divine the unknown benefactor. Witches are propitiated by gifts of cocoa cakes and honey whenever the stormclouds loom on the horizon of the setting sun, as well as in times of protracted droughts, for hruxas are supposed to haxe specifics for evils of that sort. Women credited with proficiency in such business ^ ranches of the black art are therefore considered .desirable matches, and do not fail to impress their admirers with vague hints of magical omnipotence.—Chicago Times. —A Boston drnq|mer ordered a plate fodder inBria ’ * other demand was charge of his native I in Brandon, Vt., the M twenty-five objected to ikying fifteen cents more than the Boston price, tut without avail.

BAD DEBTS. tt«w the Uniformed Company Propas—1> Collect Them. IRorneLlsvlUe (K. Y.) Letter, i "We intend to make life very pleasant for the man who owes «mnii bills around this town that he is able to pay but won't,’* said W. H. Reynolds, manager ofl the Uniformed Collection Company. "We are in the field to collect accounts from just such customers, and if' there is one who doesn't come down after we have turned all our batteries on him, he's a man that dynamite wouldn't rattle. "The way the Uniformed Collection Company works is this: Such persons as desire our services become subscribers to our plan, and pay a fee or bonus of one dollar. We furnish each subscriber with blanks which he fills out and sends to his delinquent debtors, with a statement of their accounts. The blank is simply a request for them to remit the amount, with the declaration that if they do not their cases will be turned over to Uniformed Colleetion Company. When the company re* ceives a case a collector is sent at once to the debtor to solicit payment of the amount due. If he still refuses to pay, we send an* other collector, who wears a striking uni* form, with the word ‘Collector’ in very distinct letters on the band of his hat. This collector visits the debtor three successive days at his house or place of business, If the third visit does not result in obtaining the money, the collector wears a hat on the band of which are the words: ‘Collector of Bad Debts.' His orders are to call on the debtor daily and demand payment of the claim or claims against him. These calls soon attract the attention of the neighbors and become the talk of the town, It has got to be a casehardened old pensioner in the con* fidence of his butcher and baker and candle-stick maker who can boldly face more than half a dosen calls from the gentleman with the suggestive hatband, and the consequence is that an arrangement satisfactory to the creditor is always effected. We charge the creditor ten or fifteen per cent, of the amount collected, as the case may be, and everybody is happy but the man who has come down with the skids. This method of collecting baddebts is no experiment. We have tried it in a hundred different places and never loBt a case yet. The system originated in Canada. We have had several collectors very neatly ‘done up’ by irate debtors, but oui* men expect that, and assume all such risks when they enter our employ. If a collector is disabled we put a bigger ‘man right on in his place, and it has got to be a very sultry day when we let a ms.n rest easy while we’ve got a bill against him.” A Stove-Pokers Terrible Deed. — [Milwaukee Sun.] Women are not all tiiSid, especially tn the presence of men. A woman may climb right up the side of a wall and hang on to the dado by her teeth at sight of a poor little, hungry, inoffensive mouse, and a few minutes afterward knock a man end over appetite for making an insulting remark in her presence. Down at Rochester, Ind., a Mrs. Gilkinson keeps a boardinghouse, and the other day a man named Stiles, while drunk, called upon her and demanded lodging. She mildly suggested that he pay for lodging that he previously had, when he gave her a very insulting answer. She immediately smote him over the head with a stove-poker which was iftncealed among the folds of her dress, and now Btiles is no more. The coroner's jury acquitted the woman, and now it is safe to say that a man will pause and reTect for some time before insulting her.

He Defied Death’s Both [San Franelsoo Chronicle. 1 A very remarkable thing in connection With the frightful death of George F. Tribon, who was killed by a runaway team in Portland on Thursday, was that on the day previous to his death he is reported to have said to an acquaintance in a fit of despondoncy: “I hope every mag in Portland will be struck dead before ten o’clock to-morrow.” “Do you make no exceptions?” was asked. “Come to think of it, I might except myself,” was the reply. Before ten o'clock the next morning he was struck down himself, while the rest lived. The Gifted Girl of GrantsvXne. [Walker Lake (Kev.) Bulletin.) A young lady in Grantsville is curiously and amusingly gifted. Her toes are so supple that she can snap the great and third toes of either foot with as sharp and clear a report as the average man makes when he snaps his thumb and finger. She is diffident about exhibiting her peculiai accomplishment, but her intimate friends assert that she is quite an adept and can keep good time to a lively jig. THE MARKETS. Nsw York, March 28.1866.

Squandering Money foolishly. IXewlston (Me.) Journal. 1 While Judge Walton was at work in his chamber at Portland one day many years ago drawing an opinion in a knotty case a certain lawyer came in. This lawyer (he is now deceased) was a thin, tooth-pickish, dudish sort of man, whom the judge did not like very well,and than whom he would rather have seen Daniel Pratt himself walking into his chamber. “Well, Brother Lightweight, what can I do for you this morning?” asked Judge Walton, hoping to get rid of the fellow. “Nothing,” he replied. “I only came in to make you a call.” After a disagreeable silence, the judge looked up again and asked: “Brother Lightwood, why don’t you get married?” “Because I can’t afford it. How much do you suppose it costs me to live now?” The judge said he wouldn’t guess. “Well, it costsme $6,000 a year for just my own living^’’ An expression of surprise came on the judge’s face. “Lightweight,” said he, “I wouldn’t pay it.

CHARITY ABUSED. A Corpse That Counted the Money Cote trlbuted to Bury It. [Baltimore (Md.) Special.] Several days agd a pretty little woman went to one of the Methodist churches in southwest Baltimore and asked for money to bury her dead husband. She gave her name as Hester Green and said she was ashamed to ask the city to bury him. Two worthy ladies were sent out to investigate the case. They went to a house on Parkin street.4 There was crape on the door, all the blinds were closed, and the stillness of death brooded over the place. They entered the house. In one corner of a darkened room lay a corpse; near it was the wife bowed down in grief. The ladies looked at the body, then comforted the bereaved woman. The pathetic story so touched the hearts of the brethren that seventeen dollars was raised to give him Christian burial. JJext day one of the ladies who had investigated the case went to the house and found the wife a little more “resigned to the will of God,” as she expressed it, and the corpse still there. The money was left and the lady departed with the consciousness of having done a good deed. She found after walking a few squares that she had left her umbrella. She returned to get it, opened the door, and there sat the corpse counting the money and clinking one dollar against another to see that it waB not counterfeit. The lady was thunderstruck, and, although she was sold, was determined not to be beaten out of seventeen dollars, so she compelled the corpse to return the money that had been contributed for the purpose of burying him like a Christian. The Sinner and the Silver Box. [Boston Pilot.] There is a story of a brigand who went to confession, as Spanish brigands do, and whcffceeing a little silver box in the sleeve of the priest, relapsed and stole it. “I accuse myself, father,” said he immediately, “of having stolen a box." “Well, tay son, you must restore it.” “Would you like it, father?” “I? no,” replied the confessor, offended at the suggestion. “The thing is, ” resumed the penitent, “that I have offered it to its Owner, and he has refused it. ” “ Oh! then'in that case, my son, you have done all that is necessary, and may keep it with a clear conscience ” ■ ._ *
