'How Do, arohn.”
Walt Lee, tire Runaway Latentiryman,
Mang 114) if' a Canadian City.
One day last summer `there came
quietly to our fair city-orte John China-
man, whose name it sacs Walt Lee, or
words to- that effect. Wah Lee set‘him-
self up in theilltundey business in the
basement of the venerable pile of build-
ings located next east of the Bastable
block, on East 'Genesee street. He
swung out a shingle, and together with
another almond -eyed pagan, washed,
ironed and squirted water between his ,
teeth several weeks. His business was
quite brisk, as a natural consequence of
civilized humanity'spredisposition to
clean linen and. cheap prices per piece.
One day Wel Lee's customers came to
his wash -shop to find it closed. Brief
investigations proved that the cunning
Mongolion bad taken French leave for
parts unkneven, forgetting to return the
linen confided to his manipulation. Part
of it wa...1 subsequently recovered at the
freight offiee, where it awaited ship-
ment to Toronto, Ont., to which city it
was addressed. The remainder left
with Wah Lee, whose memory is still
green in the minds of many a °unless
and shirtless Syraeusan. Whither Wah
Lee had hied was not exactly known.
to his whiter brothers until a few
days ago, when there was received at
the Courier office, tidings of his where-
abouts.
In the London, Ont., Advertiser is
•found nearly a column account of the
vain Wah Lee's settlement in that city,
he being the first of his kind. to take up
a habitation there.
Wah Lee told the same story in Syra-
cuse. He lies like—like---Ah! Sin.—

Labor and. Wages.
Then and How—Grettt Fall in the Wages
of Wrorkmen—Figures From the East.
The question of wages, says a New
York paper, i the real question of in-
terest to the real workingman. Nearly
all wages are now wretchedly dispro-
portionate to the cost of living. This
has fallen greatly, of course, but the
fall of waaes has been still greater. Let
us say that it now costs $12 a week to
-support a wo'-'
rkinaman's- family as well
as it was supported on $18 a week five
years ago. This is a decline of - one-
third, and I think the ("proportion is a
fair one for illustration. Now, it is un-
questionable that in New York at least
the means to Meet an expense of $12 a
week are not now equal to the means
to meet the greater- expense in 1872 or
'73. The wages list shows this. Car-
penters, for instance, who used to earn
$3 to $4 a day, cannot now get more
than from $1 50 to $2. Bricklayers
were formerly paid $4 to $5, and they
do not now average over $2 25,
while many are working below that fig-
ure. In good firneepl-asterers could com-
mand $5 to $6, a, day, and only the best
of them can now get $2 60. The ma-
jority are working for about $2. Stone-
cutters are down from $5 a day to $3,
and work is very scarce among there.
Plumbers are now receiving from $2 to
$2 50, agains1r$3 to $4 -50 before the
panic. It is pretty much the sarne with
artisan labor all through, the wages not
being over 60 per cent. of the wages
formerly paid.. Of (mune, unskilled la-
bor is even Worse off. The army of
men employed in the construction of
the elevated railroads were paid about
$1 25 a clay. Cornell & Co., who had
the contracts for all the iron work„paid
the montders from $1 10 to $1 20 a day.
They have lately discharged fifty men,
who were paid. at this rate. A great
many more figures might easily be
given, to show the fall that has taken
place • all around. Doubtless Mr.
Hewitt's committee will carefully col-
late all the figures and glean exact in-
forma.tion as to thecost of living, when
its meetings are resumed. But to find
& remedy & the troubles that cause so
much complaint, will be a much more
difficult /natter.
The follo-wing letter recently appear-
ed in a Boston paper. The writer
takes a sensible view of the condition
of the working class, probably being
only too familiar with the wants mid
necessities of them he so cleverly de-
fends:
As a constant reader of your journal,
I have to disagree with a statement you
made in Monday's issue regarding la-
bor and the cost .of living. It is evi-
dent that you are not really con -Versant
with the facts -of the ease you write on,
wherein you state that, "If the pricea
of labor have diminished, the cost of
livina has depreeiated in a like ratio.
The coalmen wants of 11, family are all
to be met at low prices, and there is lit-
tle actual suffering in our . community
for lack of the means of comfortable
subsistence." Why, sir, you speak p,s
" though the community at large was in
a prosperous condition, and that all
this talk about the unemployed and ac-
tual want is all moonshine. In regard
to the price of labor; there are many la-
borers who are fairly paid, but the ma-.
jority of the laboring classes don't real-
ly get enough to procure the very neces-
saries of life, as the following will show:
For instance, four years ago a mechanic
got from $3 50 to $4 per diem, and the
cost of living in ina,ny ways was not
much more than it is to -day. Say that
a barrel of flour four years ago cost him
$12, and that he paid $10 or $12 for his
house rent, and. that he could purchase
a good suit of elothes for say $25, other
things in proportion. Well, he got con-
staut employment. and perhaps his
children got the same, provided that
they were capable of taking hold, Let
US now take a look at the mechanics'
wages to -day and see what he gets for ally
his labor, and how comfortably he can the f
support a family of say five or six. Me- Worry
chanies' wages to -day .range at an av- out -k
°rage of Si 50 per diem, less than one- h
half what they received some four years b
ago. ?lour costs from. $8 50 to $9 50 b
the best; rents from $8 to .510 a month
a suit of clothes $15 ; other items to I
support the five or six children, ziot I
speaking of his clear epouse. All of : 1
this, mind you, has got to come out of ! ti
say $1 60 per diem, which is about an t
a.verage that mechanics generally,' get; t
and recollect that: perhaps this same si
mechanic is not working more thau tr
two-thirds time. Now, then, how is it fa
with the poor day laborer? I must an- r
swer for too, for I have a deep t
for the maintenance of a family; and
then he is not constantly employed ;
perhaps he is three out of twelvt,3months
walking round; and still he has to keep
house and support the several inmates
which Providence has sent him. I can
assure you, sir, that I know several
good and industrious meh who cannot
get work, and who a both,ready and.
willing to do so if th y only got an op-
portunity. Yes, me who have not
worked three months out of twelve for
the pasttwo years, d were it not that
their wives -assist by taking in Washing
and at intervals run cut to scrub some
hall or cellar, why, in fact, were it not
for such little help a this, they would
actually starve. F hermore, I would
say on. this subject, t at out of a popu-
lation of 12,000 soul in this vicinity,
there are actually 1,2 during the win-
ter months wanting t e very necessaries
of life. This statement I can corrobor-
ate from the several charitable societies
which do the good wo1-11 of assisting the
poor during the wintek months, and, in
fact, whenever .they heed it. I hope,
sir, that ere you write such a terse ar-
ticle on labor, etc. that you'll be so
good as to consult the 'fflicted poor, and
tia,
not those who are se mingly in sym-
pathy with their cas, . Alas, for the
rarity of Christian charity !

ts About Killi-bg Hogs at
Home.
A domestic butcher Who has been in
tl. e business of killing hogs at home
A yes his ideas on this silbject through
t le Germantown Telegrairh, and says on
t is important subject at the present
s ason :
Killing hogs is a business in which
t e whole community is interested, and
p rliaps a small proportiOn acquainted
'th. It is termed " butcherang," and
o ten carried on in a but)chering style,
hile it is a business worthy of being
c nducted in a decent and scientific
ay. I do not propose going into a
lang programme of telling how to catch
3 hog, and how to hold him, etc., but to
throw out a few hints.
Do not suffer the hog to be run and
vorried by men, boys and dogs, getting
is blood and flesh heated just before
e is killed. I believe this is one
arse of meat spoiling. • Sometimes we
• ive ahog or two to a neighbor's, so as
to " kill together," as it is termed,
making uie of the same force, same
fire, and other fixings; and we have
known the hams and shoulders of hogs
thus driven to come out a little short
before the uext summer was over.
Let the hog be killed with as little
noise and worriment and excitement as
possible. A Jerseyman has one man
to go into the pen, selects his first vic-
tim and shoots him, or with a broad -
faced hammer `41ike . a shoemaker's
hammer) knocks down the hog, when
other men co e immediately and
stick, others dra, out and go to scald-
ing, and so on -c ith a large number of
hogs. 1 i
Scalding macl 'nes have become very
common and ar a good , institution ;
but everybody 1 s not get one, and
still use tubs. I like the tub, and want
nothing better to ordinary; times; but
• want a rope a d tackle and one or
wo hands to he p work the hog. I
"meld nbt ,allo a hog put into hot

are getting scalded the face may be.

given to cleaning the head, as also
eet, leaving them for the women to

itchen. As soon as the hog is
