GREELEY AND DROWN. The Democratic National Convention, at Baltimore, on Wednesday, by a vote that was nearly unanimous, nominated Horace Greoley for Presidont, B. Oratz Brown for Vice President, and adopted the Liberal Republicans' Cincinnati platform of principles. The result, like that of the Philadelphia convention, was not unexpected, and hence but little interest or enthusiasm was manifested in this community. Should the rank and file of the old Democratic party give these nominees a hearty support, the Republicans may find it not so easy an undertaking to re-elect Grant as has been imagined. A few weeks will decile whether the canvas is to be ajhotly contested one, or whether the dispirited Democracy will allow Grant to walk over the track. That Greeley is a heavy dose for Democratic stomachs no man will question. To got that dose down will require all the force of Democratic discipline.

OVER WORK.

One of the stubborn facts of everyday life is that men who labor incessantly oi until their work is done, find thoir own end before they find the end of thoir work. Oh!" said one of our well-to-vdo citizens, a short time since,

I have worked day and night to get "rich, and now I would give every dollar I have made t© bo restored to the "good health I have lost in making my "money." Our professional and business men work themselves to death years before thoir natural time. Tho world is filled with broken-down business men—we mean broken in health— who have workod tho life out of their bodies to get money and just when they are in full tide of financial success their heels are tripped up from under them, and they go up and down the earth in search of that they have lost —good health. As a rule our busmess men "enjoy" very poor health, and all because they have endeavored to labor until tlicir work was done, and, too late, find that the machine will boar only about so much strain, and when you put on a pound abovo a cartain notch, or a minute a day beyond a certain number of hours,the macbino is strained and will not come back into shape.

CHEAP LABOR.

Tho disturbing coolie element threatens to become an experiment with manufacturers in the East against the strikes of operatives. A boat load of celestials has recently been landed at Beaver Falls near Pittsburg, imported to work in the cutlery establishments there, which fact if it does not excito a riot and bloodshed, will record rather a remarkable omission in the history of the general labor question. At this important time ofthe eight hour troubles, the advent of Chinese cheap labor uuskilled and ineffective as it must be until educated to a point of usefulness, is a problem which it will require no long time to solve, and one which we cannot but regard with fear as dangerous to the interests of all classes of white labor. Ah Sin has become a drug and a nuisance in California, if we are to credit the Press and the people ofthe Pacific slope, and if he continues to influx us at the centre, as he has at the east and west, it may not be long before we have, in self defense, to ery "lioH, enough 1" 1.

Dn. LIVINGSTONS, according to Mr. Stanley, the Herald correspondent, is going to continue his African expedition for

two

years more before he re

turns to civilisation. This is intensely aggravating ou his part. It will keep the newspapers in a state of turmoi for that period, and at the end of it he will be lost agaiu.

EIOHT HOURS.

The strike of the New York working men for eight hours to constitute a day's labor, may be considered at an end. Probably no combination of equal extent that has been attempted by the laboring classes has so signally tailed.

And

That it takes two to make a bargain is tho law rule, but the two must be voluntarily agreed. A bargain made by compulsion is never a lastiug oue. Necessity or fear may compel a man to accede to the demands of force, but such contract will not be of long standing. At the first favorable opportunity it will be rescinded, and though employes may force principals to their demands, the new order of things will be but short lived. The principals may yield for the purpose of tiding their business over impending calamity, but when such principals have overcome the present they will shape their course for their own interests, and either retiro from business or discharge those men who "struck." The greatest enemies the workingmen have are those who have abandoned labor for a living and taken the' platform as lecturers or managers of labor reform movements.

Demand and supply is the only true regulator of wages, and to prevent the investment of capital must create a surplus of labor hence the great necessity of harmonious relations between the employer and the employed. Any other course is suicidal to the interests of both, and generally results most damagingly to the laboring man.

VICE PRESIDENT COLFAX attended the' Fourth of July celebration Kalamazoo,, Mich., and made a speech in which he spoke of the monacing evils against which every true citizen should endeavor to defend the country. Reckless expenditure was the source of the most of the dangers which Mr. Colfax feared. The Nation, the State, and the Municipality as well as the individual, should live within their means remembering that eyery bond issued, for whatever purpose, must eventually be paid, principal and interest. Local taxation, ho pointed out, had already become an almost intolerable burden in many places, and yet the tendency was to rapidly increase it. The advice of Mr. Colfax was judicious and timely.

WHEN Virginia meditated treason to tho nation it prepared by omitting the celebration of tho Nation's Birthday. For twelvo years Independence went unlionored in 4he Virginia capital, but the long silence has been broken, and the pleasant intelligence comes to us that the 4tli was celebrated with something of the old enthusiasm and unanimity. When former slaves and former slave owners, and union and confederate soldiers can celebrate the* national holiday with common zeal and pleasure, it is plain that an era of genuine good feeling and pleasure is not far away.

Mas. LINDA GILBERT, who brought suit against the Chicago Post for some criticism of a benevolent lottery in which she-was engaged, failed to realize her sanguno expectations. A pigheaded jury of her countrymen concluded that Linda's true remedy was to bury her wrongs in the Lethe of forgetfulness. Her catastrophe is a warning to the insane element of the community which seeks every chance to verify its insanity by an action for libel. The truth is often very repugnant but it affords no just grounds to anticipate the services of the fool-killer

A LUMINOUS legal decision has jusi been given, to the effect that anybody who, after removing tho cigars from the box, does not destroy tbo box, shall bo liable to a fine of $50. It is not known to what extent the authors of the law are interested in the manufacture of cigar boxes, but on the strength of it, dealers in meerschaums have resolved to petition Congress for the passage of sn act exposing every smoker who does not smash his pipe alter consuming one pound of tobacco, to a fine of $1,000 and twelve months' imprisonment.?

IN calling attention to the poem on our second page we quote the opinion ofthe Pueblo (Col.) People, in which it originally appeared

The "Legend of Fairplay," which will be found in another part of this paper, will at once chain the attention of all critical readers.

why? Because the coun

try is not prepared for such a radical change, unless it can be shown that a man can do as much work in eight hours as ten. To reduce the number of working hours is certainly to enhance the cost of all products, and this increased price falls most heavily upon the working man of scanty means. If the tailers strike for a less number of hours or increased wages, the laboring man pays more for his coat if the miner strikes he pays more for his coal if the cotton manufacturers strike the laborer pays more tor his wife's and children's clothing, and so on to the end of the category. These strikers should learn that they are consumers as well as producers.

THE weakening of the Shaker communities throughout the country, which has been observable for a number of years past, has lately been accelerated by the defection within a few months of upwards of a hundred of the most Valuable mem tiers of the several communities. *1

IT is all over with us now. The London Saturday Review, a weekly paper, erudite, polished, keen, read in every club in London, and perused in all the drawing rooms and libraries of the three Kingdoms, has decided that

Under the transmuting power of climate the people of the United States "are in course of assimmilation in body and mind to the aboriginal inhabitants." This naturally accounts for the (lectric telegraph, steamboat, Pacific railroad, English colonies in our far Western Territories, Longfellow laurel-wreathed by Cambridge Hawthorne's books pirated by British publishers, palatial warerooins in London for the sale of American sewing machines, Ithe Geneva tribunal, and the Lords of the Admirality filching our models of monitors. All these wondrous things were difficult to account for, but the Review makes them plain as day. Everybody knows that "the "aboriginal inhabitants" built New York, Philadelphia and Boston and thrashed England soundly on land and on the sea in 1776-'84, and 1812. Let us, therefore, thankfully and silently accept the profound "aboriginal" theory of the wise Saturday Review.

SURELY social position has very little to do with success in America after all. A few days ago eight boys presented themselves before the board of edution in New York as candidates for appointment to the naval academy. Seven of them were well dressed and evidently wealthy, while the eighthJohn O'Keefe—wit'j coarse clothes, clumsy shoes and uncombed hair, was the embodiment of the New York newsboy, with just a touch of the "wharf rat" in his appearance. During the examination of four hours, the boys contested bravely -for the honor, but at the close Johnny came off victorious, having passed successfully. Of course he was "interviewed" at once, and it was found that he had attended school pretty regularly since ho was eight years old—beside assisting in the support of the family by selling papers, running errands in Washington Market, and picking up odd jobs along the wharf. He is a well built boy, with black hair, sparkling gray eyes, la good head and is described as a famous swimmer. When asked why be hurried away at the close of the examination, he replied that he didn't want to stay- and "have them fellows with white paper collars staring at him.

INCIDENTS like the following are so rare as to be romarkable. More's the pity: An exchangegives a street scene just below the "sanctum" windows on one of the warm days of last tfeek. The writer's attention was attracted to a heavily-loaded wagon drawn by two horses, wot with perspiration. The driver halted th9m for a moment's rest, atyi, while he did so, walked around them patting their dripping sides and lifting the burdensome harness here and there to let it cool, and giving each a kind word, which they received with a perfect understanding of his friendliness for them. When lie started them up, although he had no whip, they responded to his pleasantlyspoken orders and pulled contentedly away. Whore beating, swearing and kicking is the rule of drivers, this man stands almost a solitary hero among teamsters and not only among them, but a. class c.f every grade of society, for the evil of torturing and bewildering horses by blows and angry words seems a "besetting sin," from the vagabond gypsy, who beats the traditional donkey, to tho exquisite youth, who imagines he renders himself simply irresistible to the young lady whom he is taking for a drive by lashing his high-spirited horse into a gallop, and then wantonly drawing it upon its haunches, in display of his horsemanship.

A CORRESPONDENT, accompanying Prof. Agassiz's expedition, writes to the New York Tribune a description of Robinson Crusoe's Island, and tells how it looks at the present day. Its shores are precipitous and its surface broken from high hills into deep valleys. Wild goats—probably descendanty the very goat which furnished a coat for poor Robinson Crusoe during his lonely exile—climb the rugged steeps, and vegetation of a semi-tropic-el type flourishes everywhere. Boys who are so unfortunate as to have comfortable homes in civilized lands will read with envy that there are twelve people, including several children, living and farming on the island. The water surrounding it is of the clearest, deepest blue, swarming with a great variety of fish. It is a lovely little island, ten by four miles in extent still, no boy would sigh to be cast upon its shore when he knows he would hear commonplace hens cackling, and see homely geese come swimming out to meet him. Alas, for the onward march of civilization

A FRENCH scientist, M. Decaisne, has lately furnished an article to the British Medical Journal, in which it states the fact that in France the proportion of births to marriages is very low—so low, in fact, that it will bo difficult for the country to find recruits wherewith ever to "avenge Sedan." In Prussia 100 marriages produce 450 children in France they

:give

but 300. la Prussia

the percentage of births to population is 2.98, while in France it is only 2.55. In the former country the annual excess of births over deaths is 13,300 per 1,000,000 in the latter it is but 2,400. According to M. Decaisne's statistics it would take the population of France 170 years to double itself that of Prussia only 42, that of Russia, 60, and that •f Great Britain 52 years.

HILE Cincinnati is making arrangements to got coal at cheaper rates. Indianapolis mourns the wasting of one or two thousand dollars in attempting to get a special coal road. The attempt failed and the people ot the capital now expect that their coal the coming winter will cost more than last.

THE Paducah jury which recently refused to bring in a verdict against an offender because the penalty of the offense was a public flogging, did not manifest that reverence for law which is expected from intelligent constituents of intelligent legislators, but it did right. The law which directs such a puuisment is infamous, and no opportunity to speak and work against it should be lost.

A letter from Persia, lately read before the geological society of England, describes a series of earthquakes in Northwestern Khorassan last winter, whereby, according to a careful estimate, 30,000 lives must have been lost. Four forts near the town of Khahcashan were so completely buried th%t no trace of them can now be found

FINK PAINTINGS.—Mr. Freeman, the artist, has recently finished and placed, on exhibition at Bartlett's book store, several very fine paintings, consisting' of landscapes, busts, etc. While all of these paintings exhibit the highest order of genius, there is one that pecu~liarly commends itself to the admira-t' tion of every lover of art. We allude^ to that gem of the collection, "The Rainy Day." For beauty of design^ and perfection of execution this is* one of the finest pictures we have ever' seen.

The painting represents a young andP lovely woman, seated In her chamber.' Beside her lies a package of letters, dear remembrancers of the past, which,, in by-gone years have been received* from

That nearer and dearer one than all oth-f1 ere." One of these has just been read, and* remains where it has fftllen, at her feet The general appearance of the room with its rich and costly furnituro and the air of quiet and elegant comfort that everywhere surrounds it, indicates that its occupant is not lacking? in those things which are generally supposed to make this life desirable and happy. But when wo como to look at that sad, earnest ftoce, and behold the expression of deep, yet subdued melancholy, which it wears, we cannot but feel that she alone knows the bitterness of tho waters she has tasted, and the depth of the sorrow sho has beeu called upon to pass through and that while into her life some rain may have fallen, alas! how many! days have been dark and dreary.

The whole painting is executod id the very highest stylo of art, and ref fleets additional credit on Mr. Free man's well-earned and thoroughly eq tablished reputation.
