Tiik American system of slavery, accordidg to General Jackson, of Florida, was "the gentlest and by far the most civilizing relationship ever borne by labor to capital." It is sad to reflect that the American working man cannot be brought to see the beauty of the kind of relationship between capital and labor which the General commends as the most civilizing. Gazette-Jouannl. AG A INST ASSASSIN A TION. Wiiting the day before the execution of the anarchists the Chicago Inter Oram said: "A good many excellent people are expressing the fear that if Un convicted anarchists arc executed in ac cordanee with the sentence passed in due coarse of law that they will go into his tory as martyrs to the cause they advo cated and be canonized. The attention of all such is called to the record in the history of this country. No assassin nor any man who openly advocated assassin ation or who advised the destruction of women and children by gun-power or dynamite has ever been canonized in this country. The assassin of Lincoln made a courageous fight, but he was killed, and he lias remained siniply the assassin of the president of the nation. His ac complices were executed, and no more than a feeble attempt has ever been made to throw around their persons or their memories any glamour of martyrdom. This feeble attempt never went higher than the level of men who manufactured the cheap sensationalism of the dime novel, and it failed even there. The as sassins of Lincoln haye remained assas sins, and that is all that any one cares to say of them. "When Guiteau fired upon President Garfield the public sentiment of this country arouse against him and his meth ods. He attitudinized very much as some of the convicted anarchists are now posing before the public, but the verdict of the country was almost unanimously in favor of his prompt execution. He was executed, and no one, not even the crankiest of mortals, has ever intimated that he was a martyr to any cause, or that he was to be canonized in any frm His memory is held in universal con tempt, and the theory that he represented is so hateful to the people that no one has ever presumed to enter upon excuse or defense of the so-called principles enunciated by the assassination of Presi dent Garfield. "Ic is very difficult for stupid or pre judiced men to understand a people upor. whom th?y make war. The sneak thief, the highway robber, and the train robber are egotists enough to believe that the people are afraid of them until the tim -comes for settlement and punishment, and then the weakness of criminal asso ciation with intent to intimidate the pub lic is shown. And when the fact is de monstrated that they who violates law must suffer the penalty, there arc few to say that because a murderer hanged or n train robber imprisoned for life that theie is a possibility he will become a martyr or be canonized. Whatever may become of the convicted anarchists, this much be said, once for all, there is no danger that they will ever be remembered by the American people other than as con spirators against the public peace. The public sentiment in this country is against assassination and anarchy, and the men who can not understand the drift of sentiment and can not catch the meaning of tlio public attitude are in danger of suffering very severe penal ties."

De3 Moines Register, 10- There has Ik-cu a little talk in Iowa eluring the past few months as to the propriety of resub mitting the constitutional amendment. This talk will probably bo reviveel m a more animated maimer. This matter was discussed in De-i Moines a great eleal yes ;erdry, and Mr. I Jerry hill ami other prominent m.n of the republican party were inclined to think that in still more active espousal of prohibition it would be well fo the incoming legislature to pass a resolution of submission. It takes two legislatures to submit an amendment to the constitution. If it shoulel be sub mitted this winter, the next legislature would be elected two years from now on the question of submission, an 1 if pro hibition ca-ried it would also vote to submit, and that would bring the sub ject up before tins people the succeeding year at a nonpartisan election, and doubt h-ss put the prohibition theory in the con stitution sis well as the law. There is a very general disposition among republi cans against sounding any retreat on this question. The party has put its hands to the plow and cannot in honor look back, and will not be disposed to elo so. THE SIGN PAINTER'S WORK. Interesting Information About the Ad vertisements AVe See- on Fences. "That man is a sign painter by trade," re marked a contractor, pointing to a man who was erecting a fence before a building that was to Le torn down, 4'but he finds it pays better to put up fences where building is going on and let out the spaces to adver tisers. The big profits in the business have brought about a healthy comj.etition, and everything is now reduced to a fine art. I remember a few years ago this sign painter came to ine and offered to put up a now fence free of charge in front of a building I was erecting providing he could use the boards for advertising purposes. I jumped at the oiTer and thought the man was a fool for making it. The shoe was on the other foot, however, for I should have received several hundred dollars to boot for the privilege. "This man has brought the business down to a science, lie has scores of agents scouring the city for eligible sites, as well as can vassers to drum up advertisements. His fences, which are very neat and attractive, are built in uniform sections and join to gether on the groove principle. An adver tiser can thus have hisaimouncement changed to different localities at will without going to the expense o having a new sign painted. The old method of building a new fence every time made this mode of advertising very ex pensive, and the lessees often lost money by U-ing unable to let out all the spaces; but the cost is now reduce to a minimum by making the sections to slide in and out like the lid of a box. 'The rates, of course," he continued, "de pend upon the location. A sign on Broadway costs the most, but many of the cross streets arc nearly as desirable. The big advertisers make contracts by the year. Some of their signs are very elaborate. As soon as one building is finished they are put up else where. The lessee who has a number of these contracts runs no risk in leasing a priv ilege, because he has bis advertisers before hand, and their signs are ready to slide into position. The- first charge is made for the painting of the sign, and then so much per day for its use as an advertisement. The artistic appearance of the signs has improved very much since the introduction of tbemov alJe section, for enterprising houses no longer look upon it as extravagant to have trade marks or pictures of specialties correctly painted on a fence. Tbeso signs don't re main long in the same place. A building is soon put up in New York." New York Evening Sun. ' 1 11 " ; . - PEOPLE EVERYBODY KNOWS.

An Egyptian Papyrus. Lepsms, the elirector of the Egyptian department of the royal museums eif Ber lin. Germany, si very famous Egyptolo gist, at his desith left a remarkable papy rus which he had obtained from an English lady-, 3Iis3 Westcar. According to its language it was written about the scveTntecnth century before Christ, the lcriod of the delivery of Egypt from the rule of the Ayksos (Jews?). It measures nearly two yards in length anel is about fourteen inches high. On one side it con tains nine, on the other three, columns of an average of twenty-six horizontal lines of writing each. Some parts of the writing sire entirely obliterated, many so much as to beunreaelable. The beginning and the conclusion are gone entirely. Nevertheless, the recitals have been read and sufficiently restored to become intel ligible. One of tho tales is that King Snofru was sad of heart, and on the advice, of Zezemoaeh, the priest and reader to the king, hail a boat manned by twenty beautiful oarswomen and went on a voy age. One of the women happened to drop a precious jewel of malachite into the sea. and was so overwhelmed with grief that she elropped her oar and the ljosit came to a standstill. The king was tllsmayed. But Zezemonch raised one half of the waters of the lake and elapjied ic on top of the other half, leaving half of the botiom of the lake dry, descendeel and brought up the jewel, and the boat resumeel its journey. Another legend of the papyrus says the god of the sun. Re, had triplets by Reddedct, the wife of the priest Kawoser, who, he decreed, should dethrone the Egyptian dynasty and rule in its stead. Put one of Rededdet's maids went to the king, Chufu (Cheops), anel tells him what has happened, and that the goels have already given to the boys three diadems of gold. Then Dedi, the king's magician, engulfs the country in a fearful inundation, destroying every thing except the three boys, who are saveel by Re. So, it seems, neither the emperor of Chisia, nor Hercules, nor Romulus and Remus, were the first sons of the gods bearing rule on earth. Chi cago News. Klectricity Among the Grapevines.
