— > oe A LittLe incident which occurred last

week speaks highly of the personal beauty, as well as the various other good qualities of the young ladies of this Island. A gent- leman who had travelled through Nova Seotia in search of a partner in life, but failed in finding one to suit his taste, re- cently paid a visit to this Island. He made the acquaintance of a young lady on Sun- day, the 22nd ult, Enraptured with her beautiful charms he “ popped the ques~ tion,’’ and on Thursday, the 26th ult., they were united in the happy bonds of matri- mony. Who can beat this?—S. J.

llonses are exceedingly plentiful on the island just now. You can scarcely meet a farmer who has not one or two, and some- times three, that they wish to dispose of. In view of the short hay crop we would ad- vise any farmer who has more of this kind of stock thin he really needs, to sell them at almost any price that may offer, rather than feed them through the winter. It must be a very guod horse that will not devour his present value in hay and oats from now till grazing time next year,—S. J.

THE GREAT AFRICAN DESERT.

The plan of certain French saranis to make a sea of the Great African desert calls forth considerable discussion from different quarters as to the probable eftect upon the balance of the world, and climatos logical effects to be produced in Africa and Europe. The Providence Morning Star says :—

The caleu ation is that Sahara covers 4.. 000,000 miles, and the seas of the Globe 150 000,000. Every loot «ff Water spread over the African desert would lower the sea one

thirty-eighth of a foot. If this inland sea

were loattain a depth of eighty fet on an average, the whole oeean would shrink all round some twenty six inches, What would become of our harbor? How could the Cunarders and Star line get over the bar in New York Bay? tow Rhode Island would grow in agricultural dimensions, and dimin- ish in clam fields! Norfolk would be left as: about the only aecessib:e harbor on ow Southern coast. Holland would save half

the expenses of draining the Zuyder Zee,

A German writer advises the use of saw- dust in mortar as better than hair in pre. venting the cracking and peeling off of rough casting under the action of storms and frost. His own house, exposed to prolonged storms on the sea-coast, had patches of mortar to be renewed each spring, and after trying without effect a number of substances to prevent it, he found sawdust perfectly satisfactory. It was first thoroughly dried and _ sifted through an ordinary grain sieve to remove the larger particles, The mortar was made by mixing one part of cement, two of lime, two of saw.dust, and five of sharp sand, the saw-dust being first well mixed dry with the cement and sand.

A ‘super’ was sent on to speak the messenger’s line: ‘As | did stand my watch upon the hill, | looked toward Bir.. nam, and anon methought the wood began to move.’ Macheth—Liar and slave!

THE RAILROAD TRADES UNION,

The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engis neers came into notice at Rochester,N. Che organiza- Lion was Originally formed for benevolent purposes, and contained a provision in its construction and obligations enforcing soberiety on the part of its members. A quarterly journal of the Brotherhood was issued in. 1868 from the press of the //- ‘uminati at Rochester, announcing the pur- pose of the Brotherhood and containing in- dorsements elicited by the “temperance clause,’’ from various railway presidents and superintendents. In fact, many of these corporations encouraged in a marked manner the formation of sub-divisions and lodges along their lines. The organization spread very rapidly, and, catching the spirit of the lron Moulders, or ratherthe International Metal Workers’ Union, fos~ tered by the English National Labor League, which was the right wing of the trades unions in the ‘‘Long Strike” of 1872 it became a brothergood of strikers. Chief Engineer Arthur, the head of the Brother- hood, is regarded by his followers as an (authority. They have a childlike faith in his ability to counteract all the movements of Messrs. Vanderbilt and Scott and will obey his every dictum promptly and un- questioning!y.

Since the brotherhood changed its or-

ganization from a benevolent and temper. ance society to a trades union they have have adopted a new ritual and instituted a number of degrees modelled upon the de- grees of a blue lodge of Masons. The third or highest degree is conferred upon engineers and conductors, no others being eligibe. The second degree is confined to firemen and baggage masters, and the third to switchtenders and brakemen. _ The dues are about $1 per month, and from these $3 000,000 have been accumu- lated. This money has never been drawn upon heretofore, but held for use in case ofa general strike throughout the United States, which has long been contemplat- ed When strikes have been made along the line of some particular road extra ass~ sssments have been made upon members of fiom $5 to $25 each to sustain the strik~ ers. In relation to the Pennsylvania Rail- way the engineers claim that ever since the reduction in wages they receive much better pay than their fellows employed b the other trunk lines east and west. The average pay on other lines to engineers is $70 per month, while the same class of employes on the Pennsylvania road earn 4s high as $128 per month. Again, the ten per cent reduction does not apply to those receiving $30 per month or lesr. Those who are paid $2 are now paid $1,80 per day, and those paid $3 before now get $2.70.
