.1tOTERS OF TEM come to
address you this evening , matters gerie-
ral as, well, ,as Special. - Wheir I 'learned
that the painters were coming into our
Order I was well pleased, because was
aware that the Knights of the Brush
ranked among the first in intelligence and
manliness and believed they would be a
great acquisition to .our Oeder. I eay this,
not for the purpose of Erweitening you "With
" taffy," but to tell .you of your advantages
that .you may govern yourselves accord-
ingly, and be fully conscroueof ;the -respon-
sibilities that rest upon you.. ...
I have noticed that the painters' unions
in various localities, from Maine to Cali-
fornia, have been among the first to appre-
ciate the principles and embrace theadvan-
tages of the Effights of ,Labor. For -this,
amongezither reasons, they have ,won my
respect and challenged my confidence.. '
P Why are we called Knights of Labor ?
•
Because we have been chosen to champion
Labor'e pause. To be a knight as to have
an honor conferred, a Mark of distinction
bestowed. We, therefore,,wheare Knights
of Labor,. are expected to be the chief
advocates and. defenders of Labor's cause,
and to cover her: suffering children with
our protecting shield. ,
To do this successfully we must exalt
our senile to the :heights oE devotion and
brace our nerves to the, tension of .fixed
-resolve . The Mi8SiOn Of the -Knights of
Labor covers a broad field, and carries
along With it a submission to sacrifices, a
determination to do, a willingness to suffer.
. But it must net be predicated- that. Sad-
rifices and sufferings are tebeever 6ur lot.
True, many have suffered and will here-,
after suffer for the °twee ; but remember,
" the blood of the martys is the seed of the
Church," and for every injury inflicted
good., will come. We new count :out -vic-
timised -men and women -by thousands, and
will continue -to- countethern-a-Discharges,

The silveraining tn. the toilers'ablackloud
of:despair is already discernable in the'
heavens, and in the, grinds of governments
and the Wrongs of 'SYStenas there, is yet a
bright hope,for, humanity. 'So:•
fligSwindling Operations.
It is the custom in good railway manage-
ment to carefully collect all scrap iron,
• bothcast and wrought, and Bell it. At
Fort Gratiot, opposite Sarnia, this work
bas been done under the eye of storekeeper
Wall, who had under him two clerks named
M. Walsh and W. Whittaker, who had
charge of the details of tbe business.: These
clerks,- it would seem, have been doing
business on their own /account with
a Detroit junk dealer'the ' details of
which have just leaked out. Their
modus operandi seems to have been about as
follows: When several carloads of scrap
had been collected they would ship, say,
two carloads to Wyandotte and as many
more to Detroit. The Wyandotte consign-
naents were the railroad company's share,
and the rest was sold to the Detroit junk
dealer, the money going into the pockets of
Walsh and Whittaker, or at least not into
the coffers of the railroad company. No
traces were left on the books, way bills or
elsewhere of the shipments to Detroit, and
there is probably no way to find out
how much of the stuff has gone hito
the halide of the Detroit purChaser, er
how much Waleh, Whittaker de' Co. got for
it. In an evil hour for their nefarious pro-
ject two cars got " crossed, ' as therailroad
menBay, and reached wrong destinations,
an investieation followed, -the- books -were
called for and could not be found, and
Vv hitta,ker and Walsh, taking alarm, skip-
ped out for parts unknown. The result
thus far has been the resignation of M.
Martin, of the Junction, and •Mr. Eficken-
bottom, of Fort Gratiot, while other heads
are liable to fall into the basket at almost
any moment.

The enormous estimate that was given;of
the peach crop this year has been literally
verified. B.y the close of the season there,
will have been sent to this city 1,500,000
• baskets and about 500,000 direct to New

and Philadelphia and co-operators, located
nea,r the peach growing section have
operated very heavily this year, 'using
1,500,000 baakets. Eighty evaporating
establishments have been busy in Dela-
ware and . Maryland ever eince fine
fruit was ready to be picked. The
eve:porating method has ' almost pushed -
the old custom of sun -drying on one
bide. In the new process, - peaches can
be packed in halves, with a very showy
appearance that materially helps sales.
The market was very short of good. dried
peaches since last summer, and fee crops
are apt to alternate heavy ann
pieservere have aimed to provide for a, pos-
sible short offering in 1883. It is thought
that the crop of this year will equal that
of the remarkable growth of 1875. Peaches
have not averaged fine in quality this year.

Oscar Wilde and the Piltaldens.
• When Oecar Wilde went up to Lee°
,Beecher at Peekskill, itis said that he en-
countered a set -back which was rather
'rude, but it had its amusing side. After -a -
hearty meal he. and Mr.Beecher took a
stroll in the woods, and suddenly they
came upon a bevy of Brooklyn girls who
were about keret themselves at a luncheon
spread upon a table -cloth on the ground.
They were plump and pleasing beauties,
dressed in white and phils and daisies; with`
embroidered hose peeping out frein low
French alippers, and Oscar rivetted his
gaze upon them, crossed his legs, leaned
upon a cane, and smiled -a I;thode Island
clambake smile. The girls twitteted and
tittered and looked around as though half
horrified, but by a sudden inspiration „they
all dropped upon the grass in half reolioing
attitudes and when one rattled a 'knife en
a plate as a signal all of thane began t'o
chant : ' ' '
. Twenty love-sick maidene we ;
Love-sick all against our will;
Twenty years hteuce we shall be
Twenty love-sick maidens still.
Oscar made a -bolt for the wildwood and
was goon out of sight ',behind some under-
brush, wbile Parson Beecher stood Btill and
roared with laughter, lookieg like the monk
in the picture.'

Who AVie Not Servants?
At What point in the social scale does the
word "servant" become objeotionable?
, .
public servant is proud of the title. To be
aseriant of the Church is the ambition of
brilliant and learned men. The measure
of profesi3ioisal and SCientifiC reputation, is
the service done. The expression of the
most graceful courteey is "Conamo,nd me -
how can I serve you?" . "The phrase. of
formal respect is "Your obedient servant."
And yet, unaccountably, the very Service
which ' friends do for each other, that the
members of a family give in common if
they happen to be poor in money, is
absurdly oonoidered disgraceful, a personal
dishonor, when performed for wages. The
dishonor cannotcones in with , the pay.
Minigere are paid, and doctors and scien-
tists. The fact is ',that headicare.SO full ,of
nonsense about the'se things thatit isbard
