GcisKPra GARIBALDI the distinguished Italian General and patriot, the father of United Italy, died at Rome yesterday evening at six o'clock.
THE people of Missouri are agitated oyer the question whether Frank James shall surrender to the State with an un conditional pardon, or that the State shall be surrendered to him.
OUK climate does not agree with Egyp tian obelisks. The one imported to SBew York about a year ago is said to be fast wearing ont by the sction of the weather. Many of the inscriptions are no longer clear, and the corners are becoming rounded.

on her music festival, but this is not considered a bad showing for the first attempt of thst kind. The expense attending such performances is so great that it Is expected to require some time to get them on a paying basis.
THK Supreme Court of Ohio has declared the Pond law for taxing saloons to be unconstitutional. The Ohio constitution forbids the licensing of the liquor traffic, and the ruling is put upon the ground that the law, which provides for the levying of a special tax on saloons, is in effect a license law.
THE Michigan wheat crop promises a yield of a million bushels in excess of the great crop of 1881. The Indiana crop is in line condition, and favorable re ports come from other wheat growing States. Unless something occurs to mar the present prospects, the granaries of Amorica will again overflow with the wheat crop of 1882.
ALTHOUGH nearly twenty years have passed since the close of the civil war, the soldiers who fought and died for the salvation of their country aro not for gotten by the Republic. Each year witnesses the befcoti ful ceremony of strewing flowers on their graves—an observance %hich seems to increase rather than diminish in the popular interest. In recent years the custom has been taken up in the south.
JUSTUS the supply of whale oil was giving out, petroleum was discovered. It became popular, and has come into general use throughout the civilized world. But petroleum will not last forever. An expert calculates that most of tho wells in New York and Pennsylvania will give out within four years. In view of the possible failure of coal oil, it ia consoling to reflect that we have the ©loctric 'light to fall back upon. This will last forever. Tho supply of eleotrl--dty never give

had another bank fail
ure on Tuesday, the private banking institution of Woolen, Webb A Co. Disking an assignment to Hon. Frank ijiiuders. The immediate cause of the assignment is stated to bo the smallness of dejtosit sinoe the failure of the Central liank. The batik owes about $72,000 and has assets valued at $76,000, but as this is real estate it is hardly probable that enough will be realised therefrom to pay the creditors in full. This bank went down in the panic of 187S and resumed business again, but has never been regarded as a strong institution since thst time. There is no charge of improper conduct on the part of the 'officers. The business of the bank was nimply not profitable.
THK high price of living ought to be a satisfactory and sufficient explanation of the labor strikes which are taking place throughout the country. In Chicago, beef cattle command 12 S' cents live weight, the highest price ever paid in tlmt market for beef, and it is said that farmers aresending their dairy cattle to market. This, if carried to any considerable extent, will have the effect of advancing the price of milk and butter. A New York journal estimate* that within a year there has been an advance of 13M per cent, on many articles which enter most largely into commerce, while the advance in food product* during the same time has been 25 per cent. There has also been a general increase in rents in all the larger towns and cities. In the face of fscts like thene it is certainty not a matter for wonder if laboring men with growing families to support should feel the propriety of having their wages advanced correspondingly to the increased coat of living. Just why there ha* been such a sharp advance in so many different directions, during the past year, has not boon satisfactorily explained. The drouth and consequent shortage in crops of the hurt season might account for the advance in some «iirecUoo«, but not in all.
TBS OBEAT STRIKE.
The great iron mills at Pittsburg, Wheeling, Youngstown, Cleveland, St. Louis, and elsewhere throughout the country, have put out their fires, and thousands of workmen have entered upon a period of idleness which may be of months* dotation. The men demanded an advance in wages, their employers refused it, and hence the strike.
Sympathy will be felt for the workmen, and justly. The cost of living has steadily advanced. With beef at from twelve to twenty cents a pound, potatoes

There are other evils which follow inevitably in the wake of idleness. The Devil finds mischief always for idle bands. Men grow demoralized and reckless, take to strong drink, beat and abuse their families. The suffering from want is added to by the suffering from brutality. The spectacle is a sad one, and appeals strongly to every lover of peace, comfort and good order for away to help it.
Strikes are unfortunate full of distress and full of crime. One never lasts long but there is in it bloodshed for men, and stripes and beatings for women and children. With all their loss, and all their suffering, many times they accomplish nothing. Is there no better way than this for the working men to obtain their rights? Is this the best fruit that Christianity and modern civilization are able to produce? Is this system in fact anything else than barbarism—the right of might? Sorely it is possible to substitute something for strikes which shall be belter for masters and better for men. It is a maxim of the law that there is no wrong without a remedy if the letter of the statue does not give it, the spirit of equity does. So in the industrial world there must be a remedy for every wrong not the remedy of force —of cold) furnaces and colder hearths of bloody riots and drunken debauchesof starving children and weeping mothers —but a remedy born shall givrieHfee workmen his full and Jhoneet due and to the employers of workmen only their just share of the common earnings. It is possible to reach sufeh a standard as this and neither men nor masters ought to be satisfied until it is reached. It is a subject far more worthy to engage the thoughts of statesmen than many of tho piddling questions of politics to which they devote so much time and effort, with so little return for their pains. Let some John Stuart Mill of the present day bend himself to tho study of the relations between employers and working men, and discover an enlightened and radical system which shall do away with the barbarism of
strikes.
THE venerable Thnrlow Weed sees in the near future, the disintegration of the Republican party. The blame he lays on Grant, Conkling and the other thirdtermers. The same feeling is showed by many others. The break in New York and Pennsylvania is likely to give those great States to the Democrats, and with them gone the scepter of national power passes from the Republicans. It is by no means certain that any harm will come to the country if such a thing does happen. The gpverument at Washington would still live, we suppose, even if the Democrats should capture the White House. A lot of men would go out and another lot of men would come in, but otherwise who would suflter If there are any great principles at stake, just n»w, they aro carefully avoided by both the leading parties. In what do Republicans and Democrats differ? It would be bard to tell. It is a selfish struggle for the "spoils," and such a Struggle is not calculated to arouse enthusiasim on either side. In such a contest the Democrats are as likely as anybody to come out ahead.
AFTRR ten days of fillibustering on the Mac key- Dibble case the House summarily ended the matter on Monday last by amending it* roles so as to provide that the Speaker shall not be required to entertain dilatory motions,—that ia, notions made merely to consume time, and prevent action when contested elec-
tion cases are before the Hotme. This^ would seem to be a reasonable provi
sion. Indeed the people would be heartily glad if the rules were so amended as to prevent fillibustering on any and all question*. There can hardly be any good reason for such a senseless waste of time as results when the wheels of legislation are blocked by the use of dilatory motions by the minority.

cents a peek, and house-
rents higher than a year or two ago, it is not to be wondered at that the men should feel that there ought to be some increase in the income as well as in the outlay. And so there ought to be if it is possible. But the mill-owners say that the market is overstocked already, and that they cannot allow the advance asked for and successfully run their mills. They also say that it will be no detriment, but rather an advantage to them to shut down until some of the surplus stock is worked off. If these statements are wholly true, it would appear that the workmen have not done wisely in striking at the present time. But however that may be, sympathy will be felt for the workmen and their families. The strike, should it continue long, must entail great distress and suf fering. Many of the workmen have large families of children. How are these to be clothed and fed when tfye bread-winners are idle and earning nothing? Now, of all times, when the cost of living is so great, it is necessary that the workmen should have regular employment.

COL. MAPLBSOI? states that he has engaged Patti for a six months season in the United States, beginning next October, to sing at least twice a week, for $4,585 a night. In addition to this the diva is to have a Pullman, with kitchen cooks and servants. If this is true,it would be a good thing—not for Mapleson, but for music—if the manager should be obliged to make up a round deficit out of his own purse. It is evi dent enough that no such exorbitant sum can be paid to one singer and good general support be furnished As the Cincinnati Gazette remarks: "The opera circuit is to have Patti and a cheap company, at high prices, and a fashionable snobbish furor, all of which is lowering of the opera." It will be the game old story over again everything sacrificed for the star. The opera going public can force a correction of this evil if they will. The way to do it is to refuse to be longer gulled. Stay away from the Patti shows. This is a heroic remedy but it may be an effective one.
IT is now stated that the real Sir Kog er Tichborne is in California, where he has lived for thirty years. He is a highly educated man, and lost a hand while serving as a soldier in the war of the rebellion. He says he left England be cause his mother, a French woman, was disliked by the rest of the family, and he also was badly treated. Before leaving he took a solemn vow not to return for thirty years, or until the name of Tichborne had died out. The thirty years are now up, and he is going back to England to claim his rights. All this may be true, of course, but it is more likely not to be.
THK Ohio people who favorj^oaper ance find that their hands are bound by that provision of the Constitution which forbids the licensing of the sale of liquor. When the temperance people put the amendment into the Constitution they thought they were «toing a good thing. Moral: be careful what you put into the Constitution. A bad law can be repealed, but a vicious provision in a Constitution is not easily got rid of.
SA YINOS AND DOINGS.
The popular form of suicide in Mich igan is to go to work in a sawmift. What a pity it is that men of cheek have not more genius, and men of genius more cheek.
An English physician says a man can stop a fit of sneezing by crawling down stairs head, first. Almost anything can be cured that way if the stairs are steep enough.
The Methodist preachers of Chicago have discussed the vacation question, and have decided that summer intermissions are unnecessary for the minister and bad for the church.
Seth Green is of the opinion that Provdence filled fish with bones to save the American people from becoming a race of dyspeptics. There is a certain enforced leisure in disposing of fish that is beneficial to the system.
One planter near Yazoo, Miss., says the overflow, from the deposit of fertilising sediment on his land, has been worth |3 an acre to him. The old darkey was light who said the Lord was manuring the land for those who wouldn't do it for themselves.
A Boston minister has settled it. He says a husband who is in the enjoyment of celestial bliss will not mourn because his wife is tortured in Hades. Such time as he has to spare from praise and song he will devote to thanksgiving that he is not with her.
A leorgia editor who has roamed about his State a good deal gathering a varied experieuco says: "Gold is found in thirty-six counties in this State, silver in three, copper in thirteen, iron in forty-three, diamonds in twenty-six, and whisky in all of them and the last gets away with all the rest."
In his sermon of Sunday morning, Henry Ward Beecher said: "Early marriages are the salvation of young mbn and if a young woman doesn't love you enough to go down and live humbly with you, and help you to work your way up, she doesn't love you leave the torment to somebody else!"
The wife of Lieut. Melville of the Jeannette, says that she is not a spiritualist and is not even superstitious, but she declares that twice last summer her husband appeared to her in bodily form. Twice she saw him distinctly, and once he spoke to her. This is by no means a singular instance oi the kind.
A sad young man, after taking a meal at a New York coffee-house, after much searching in his pockets, produced a $2 greenback from his watch-fob, and with a sigh said, "Here she goes." After his departure the note was examined,and on the back appeared, written in a fine hand: "Save your salary don't gamble never play faro-bank. The last of a fortune of $10,000."

realised that the dream, though wonderfully vivid, had been suggested by a recent perusal of Bulwer's "Strange Story but he could not rid himself of the idea that he would die soon. The dream came to him nightly, and at length with the date of his death fixed. This was more than his weak head could stand, and he died of brain fever.
Judge Wylie, of Washington, in sentencing a young man-to the penitentiary for larceny last week, said that he could not see how a young man can get a trade now on account of the trade combinations which prevent boys from becoming apprentices. He said every parent in the land should put his foot down on these organisations, which have the effect of bringing skilled labor here from abroad and of causing universal idleness among youths, which drives them to crime.
Archdeacon Kirby, who has spent many years as a missiouary within the Arctic circle, lectured in Detroit the other evening upon his work and the people among whom it was performed. "When an Esquimau girl marries," said the lecturer, "she cuts tho hair off the top of her husband's head, rolls it up into a ball and places it upon the side of her head, combing her own hair over it. When his hair has grown again, she again cuts it off and has a roll for the other side of her head. After she has been married eight or ten years she has a formidable chignon. Now, I will leave it to you, ladies, whether these Esquimau girls got that custom from you or you got it from the Esquimaux."
THE ELOCUTIONARY MANIA. Peoria Saturday Evening Call. A man with an idea is bad enough, but a woman with a craze is worse. The elocutionary mania has been ragipg all over this"country for the last few years, and large numbers of young men and women have "caught on" to it. The tendency of these young people is to make a craze of this study. This is especially true of young women. In nine cases out of ten when the craze gets to fever heat its victim is convinced that she should go upon the stage as a star actor. And so lately there has been a
gut
jrfect "milky way" of female stars. now it transpires that there is milk in the cocoa nut. Woman's necessity is often man's opportunity. It has proved so in this case. A class of theatrical sharks have appeared who come in to take advantage of these crazed young females. Many of these young women have money, it is quite natural that wealthy young women should take the elocution craze and suffer it to run into, the latter development of stage mania. There are many of them who have nothing else to do. These wealthy young women area shining mark for the theatrical sharks. The scamp picks his victim, flatters her, tells her "sne is a wonder and nothing less," and promises to make her fame and fortune. He has no money. "A nest egg, or no chickens," says the shark. The nest egg is laid, often a good fortune of itself, which the young woman confides to the tender mercies of her manager. Hie play begins. A company is organized, a route aid out, a start made. Manager, company and all live well on the nest egg till it is utterly eaten up. Then a break op, tears, sorrow, sighing, and a journey home. The prodigal returns, and the shark goes his way to set bis jaws wide

SPUING PARASOLS. Philadelphia Press.
What gorgeous creations the Spring parasols are! Not content with painting whole landscapes, mariue views and romantic moonlight scenes upon their sheeny surfaces, they are now decorating them with decks of cards. I saw one the other day that had a whole euchre pack scattered over a ground of brilliant crimson. The handles as well aro unique. Some of them show very skillful woodcarvings of curious designs—for instance, one handle represents a terrier in the act of killing a rat another, done in ebonized wood, is a carrier dove holding an ivory letter in its beak, and yet another is the face of a Franciscan monk, peering out of his cowl.

A woman who does all her own housework, attends twelve children, and turns her dresses half a dozen times to make both ends meet, may be a g»od Christian, but when a lady in a $1,000 carriage and a $500 dress halts at the door and asks her to subscribe to some charitable object, she can hardly be expected to talk and act like one.
