Some twenty years ago the people of Phila delphia, were surprised and startled at see" ing certain mysterious figures chalked on the side - walks and fence - boards? of the city. About the same time would appear certain printed notices with no head ing except five asterisks [* * " * *] Here is one of'tho cabalistic chalk-marks : — Bil + 8

| SOOO

To the initiated bins read : " Local Assem bly, Mo. 8,000, mefibs,Aug. Ist, at 8 p.m." This was bow the Knights of Labour, twenty years ago, couveyed information to each other. Tliey wove a small in-significant body, just struggling into existence. Like the early Christians in the Catacombs, they had to hide their methods and plans from public sorutiny. They adopted such secret signs a? those" above to veil their meetings and shroud themselves in mystery. .Bub to-day all that is passed. They have come forth "before bile public, and America is face to faes with an''organisation of men and women, without parallel in its numbers, or ganisations, and objects, in the history of the world. I propone to supply your readers with some notes regarding the history, methods, and men of the Knights of Labour in America. My information is derived partly from personal inquiry, and partly from newspapers, magazines, and official documents of the order. The

Origin of tfte Slights of labour dates from November, 1860, or at any rate the first local assembly met at Philadelphia. in that year. The founder was Uriah S. Stephens. Stephens was a tailor of_ a philosophic turn of mind, who, dissatisfied with the trades unions, resolved to found an institution on a broader basis, and one that would be more serviceable to the work men. He associated with him a Eellosv wjrkman—Jameo Wright; This latter had the faculty of organisation, and in Novem ber"; 1869, tho first permanent local assembly of tho Knights of Labour mat in. Philadel phia. Stephens was elected masfcerworkman, and a committee of seven was appointed. Their meetings and methods were for long kepb a profound secret. They wero called together by suoh cabalistic signs as those just mentioned; and an air of mystery per vaded the Order and all its doings, For ton yjard Stephens remained at the bead of tho organisation, and during that time ib ad vanced secretly and surely in numbers and ii influence. Stephens died in 1579, and was succeeded by

Terence V. Powdarly.

With Powderly a new era begins. The O:'der soon grew strong enough to face the public, and under the leadership of pjwderly, the Knights of Labour take the open field to fight the workman's battles. Mr Powderly, liice Mr Parnell, is an "un crowned king." He is tho leader of an army numbering almost, if not quite, ;.i million, and the ranks of which avo being constantly increased by new recruits. As he said nob long since in Boston : " lam no monarch) yet, as the head of an organisation that is labouring to bring this country back to her original moorings, I do represent more than any monarch on God's earth." T.iis " uncrowned king " is nob unworthy of his nnsitiohi He is a man, judging from his speeches, oil keen intellectual perception and of intense moral sympathy. He is of Irish extraction, was born at Carbondalo (Pa.), and was a machinist, by" trade. He is by no monns an extremist, and his high character and strong will have hitherto enabled him to steer tho organisation clear of the rocks and shoals that lie along ibs course.

Tlig Objects of the Knights of Labour are, generally, to secure to the workman a more equitable return for his labour, and, by shortening tho hours of labour, to obtain more time for social and intellectual recrea tion, and more sha^e in tho gains and honours of advancing civilisation. Here are the specific measures that are urged to be adopted to reach these ends, and which may have interest for your reader? : — 1. To bring within the folds of organisa tion every department of productive indus try, making knowledge a standpoint} for action, and industrial, moral worth—not wealth—the true standard of individual and national greatness. ' 2. To secure to the toilers a proper share of the wealth which they create; more of the leisure that rightfully belongs to them; more society advantages ; more of the benefits, privileges, and emoluments of the world— in a word, all those rights and privileges necessary to make them capable of enjoy ing, appreciating, and defending the bless ings of good govoi nment. 3. To arrive at the true condition of the producing masses in their educational, moral, and financial conditions, by demand ing from the various Governments the establishing of Bureaus of Labour Statis tics.

4. The establishment of co-operative in stitutions, productive and distributive. 5. The reserving of the public lands—the heritage of the people—for the actual settler; nofc another acre for railroads or speculators. 6. The enactment of laws giving mechan ics and labourers a first lien on their work for their full wages. 7. The abolishment of the contract system on national, state, and municipal work.

8. The enactment of laws to compel chartered corporations to l>ay their em ployes weekly in full for labour performed during the preceding week, in the lawful money of the country. . 9. The substitution of arbitration for strikes whenever and wherever the employers and employe's are willing to meet on equitable grounds.

10. The prohibition of employment of children in workshops, mines, and factories before attaining their fourteenth year. 11. To abolish the system of letting out by contract the labour of convicts in our prisons and reformatory institutions. 12. To secure for both sexes equal pay for equal work. ■ 13. The reduction of the hours of labour to eight, so that the labourers may have more time for social enjoyment and in tellectual improvement, and be enabled to reap the advantages conferred by the labour saving machinery which their brains have created.

14. To prevail upon Governments to establish a purely national circulating medium, issued directly to the people, with out the intervention of any system of bank ing corporations, which money shall be a legal tender in payment of all debts, public and private. These are the general and specific objects of the Knights of Labour. 2s ow as to

Tho Methods of obtaining these. The membership is open to both sexes. Any man or woman of good moral character is eligible for member ship. Nor is membership confined to one trade or profession. It is open to all, with four significant exceptions, and as a matter of fact it has in its ranks not only labourers with hands, but with bruins, a3 journalists, clergymen, and other.?. It is noteworthy, however, that it proscribes

Lawyers, brokers, bankers, and liquor dealors. These tho Knights of Labour call the " four fleecing classes of modern society," and as such its organisation will Lave nothing to do with them. Its

Attttudo Towards tho Liquor TraSlc is remarkable and notoworthy, No ono known to bo addicted to drink is eligible

for membership. Ib prohibits the meeting of any local assembly ixi saloons. When tho Knights mot last year in Cleveland, their headquarters was at tho only Tem perance Hotel in the city. A very striking incident in their meetings was the recep tion accorded to a delegate of tho Women's Christian Temperance Union. Four out of the live members of the Executive are total abstainers. Mr Powtierly himself is what some people would almost call a fanatical total abstainer. Thus, speaking at Boston in June last, he said: "Had I ten million tongues, and. a throat for each tongue, I would say to every man, woman, and child here to-night, 'Throw strong drink aside as you would an bunco of liquid hell. It sears the conscience, it destroys every thing it touches.' ... I have seen it in every city this side the Mississippi, and I know that the most damning curse to tho labourer is that which gurglea from tho neck of the bottle. I had rather bo at tho head of an organisation of 100,000 honest, earnest temperance men than at the head of an organisation of 12,000,000 drinkers, whether moderate or any other kind/ The rapturous applause which greeted sentiments like this Irom the head ot' the Knights of Labour, as well as the flattering recaption gi/an to the delegate of the W.C.T.U. of Cleveland, are the best evidences of the pro c : noo and [ o mv> c icy of the organisation. They arc; prophetic of a better daydawu for the labourer. The uni'j of the organisation is the Local Assembly; above this is the District Assembly, to which the former elects dole gates. Abovo this again is the General Assembly, which meets annually, and elects a Council of five, wlioss doings are entirely secret, and whose authority is, practically, absolute. Tho Local Assembly is self governing,, and has power to order a strike or a boycott, bub only within its own district. Ib cannot call upon the District or General Assembly for funds till the case has been in vestigated by the S3, and they have the power to foster the strike, or boycott, or offer arbitration, as may seem best. The power to order a national combination rests wholly withtheExccufcivcßoardcf live; andhitherto their efforts havo been always confined to securing arbitration and peace as between capital and labour. Withyu oan underpin nd ing of the functions of the.-c assemblies tho Order may gebunderaerved blaino, aa, e.g., a strike, or a boycott, or an act of violence done by some member orsoniclocalaijsembiy L 3 froqueutly charged against the organisa tion as a whole, which is a3 unjuab as to charge the crimo of a single individual against the society of which he in a member. The attitude of tho organisation towards

Scri.iaa and Bo.ycoi-sa

is very noteworthy. Mr Powderly, in one of his " secret circulars," thus sots it forth : ': It has always boon,and is now, my policy to advocate conciliation and arbitration in the settlement of disputes between em-

ployer and employe1. . . . "I say to tho world that the Knights of Labour do not approve of or encourage strikes. There will bo no more boycotts. The namo will never more be used in our Order. The very ends that can bo reached through tho msdlam of the boycott can be obtained by the stand ing of two men facn to face and talking a matterout and explaining1 theirdifferoriccs. The four great aims of the Order are to organise, to agitate, to educate, and to arbitrate." Tlio«o are wiso words, and con tain sensible advice. There was a period in the history of the Order when ib van the danger of becoming a mere striking machine ; but under the powerful influence of Mr Powderly, national sentiments havo supervened, and if it adheres to these prin ciples, a reign of power and permanency lies below it. The strikes of tho Knighfcs havo nob been uniformly successful, but they have been successful in an un expected way. They have helped to spread the Order. They have reacted vory much upon it, as the fall of Jerusalem and the dispersion of the Jews and Christians worked together for the diffusion of roligion. When the strikes failed, tho Knights wero driven away elsewhere', many of them to distanb parts of the States. But thoy carried their principles with thorn._ Thoy became active propagandists in their new spheres, and thus multiplied the number of their organisations. The funds to carry on the movement are derived from the membership fee. This varies in different districts. The initiation fee do6s not often rise above a dollar, and the due 3 range from about Cd to 2s per month. In addition to thig there is the national or federal tax —about one shilling annually—levied by the General Assembly on all the members, which would give an income of about £40,000. Part of the money is expended in giving relief when strikes aro ordered. Part of it also goes to the payincr of delegates in spreading tho Order, and part of it to the paying of tho executive officer.l!. This last is not on too liberal a scale. Mr Powdorly himself only receives a little over £300 a-year, tho secretary £260, and tho other members mechanics' wage 3, and then only when they are doing tho business of the Associa tion.

As a further mean 3of spreading tho prin ciples of the Order, resort is made, and with much effect, to skilfully gob-up leaflets, with telling queries upon them. These are printed in such a way as to catch the oye at a glance. Here aro one or two of thorn :—

Did you ever see a White Slave ?

The time is coming when men will not suffer wrony conditions to exist simply because then ancestors suffered worse.

Tho law condemns the man or woman Who steals the goose from off thecornmon ; But lets tho greater felon iooso,

Who steals tho common from the GOO3R. Ifc in difficult to determine the relation o* the Order to

Religion.

A largs portion of the members aro avowed members of the Church. But if a distinc tion be made between the Church and Chris tianity, this statement would need to be cor rected into a large majority. It is undoubt edly true that the members who think on the subject atall do makesucha distinction, and, while many may not be found inside any church, ifc is only a minority who are out of sympathy with any religion. This minority consists for 'the most part of the more Radical element, v/ho are cither Socialists or Anarchists. These are chiefly of German extraction, and, corning from a country in which religion was to them chiefly a thing of aristocrats and bayonets, they naturally regard the Church as hostile to their in terests, and so denounce ifc bitterly. Ifc is an easier matter to discover the relation of the Church to the organisation. The Roman Catholic Church, to which the larger parb of professedly church members belong, is quietly sympathetic. Tho Pope was re cently nrgao to denounce the Order ; .but Rome is always wary and wise, and His Holiness was not led into such a grievous blunder. In regard to the Protestant churches, if they are true to thsir principles they must) sympathise with the aims and objects of tho Knights. Many of them have spoken in this spirit: but there are nofc a few that have been silent, and continue silent, and ifc is possible that the mistake which was made v/hen the slavery question was agitated may be again repeated by the free churches of America. They may wait till it is too late for the Pulpit to t>a a power of control in the reforms desired. Then, as Professor Pholps, of Audover, says, ib will soem to speak in self preservation. The current will have risen to the level oi their lips, and will have rolled in round tho clergy, and they will speak because they must. But their speaking then will be the sputtering of a dcowniyw man ; for there is nob the least question that the current of labour reform called into being by this organisation is oy far the most powerful the world lias ever yet seen. Oeorge Howells, in his " History of the Conflicts of Capital and Labour," thought the idea of federation of trades

unions was litfcle short of a phantom and a dream. But the dream i-» a living reality. Lfc is embodied in concrete form in the Knights of Labour. Kay, this organisation is far greater than ever tha trades unions could "have grown to. Trades unions be lon tto the aristocracy of worK. 1 hey only enrol the skilled workmen. But the Knights of Labour embrace not only both sixes, but all sort? and condition of work awn. They admit into their ranks un skilled labourer?, who never before could bo organised. Thus tha basis of the Knights is the broadest conceivable. As Dr.; Tucker man said-ami said well-at the Cleveland Convention last year : " Our principle is the democratic one. Lift up the bottom of society and you lift up everything else with it." The organisation formed on tins broad and comprehensive platform already num bers morn than anything of a like kind that lias ever vet appeared in the world. It is spreading with unexampled rapidity in America. 'Emissaries have been_ des patched to Britain to found branches there, and no doubt before long you may expect others to yteib your colonies also. it has probably not so wide ramifications yet us the International Working MenS Association. But its principles are of a solkler nature, and its leaders more trustworthy men. It is, however, not without its serious dangers. As a thoughtful writer in the New York ' Chris tian Union 'aays : "It is easy to see that an organisation of half-a-million of men, mainly of one class, bound together chiefly by their own interests, under absolute allegiance to their elected leaders, may become a very dangerous power. Bo long aa there is peace, and the Order is guided by wise and moderate counsels, co long it will promote peace, and lessen rather than increase tho conflicts between capital and labour. But if revolution should arise and passion dominate reason, men of modera tion would be swept out of their place by revolutionary leaders, and the army organised for peaco might easily become a tremendous power for war." Anyhow, for good or for evil, tho Knights aro hero, and they havo como to stay. No one can calculate exactly what is to be the future of the movement. Folks of tho old fashioned sort may consider their demands extreme ;;nd their nima Utopian. However, that's what wo think, said one of the ICriignta; talking about their political plat form'to a newspaper reporter ab the Cleve land Convention. " That's what we think, but then they call us cranks." A labour editor standing by rejoined, quick as a flash, "Cranks turn tho world."

BOYS AND GIRLS.

GOTTEN KULSS.

I. Shut every door afler you, and without

slamming it. 2. Never shout, jump or run in the house.

Always speak kindly and politely to the servants if you would have them do tbo same to you. 5. When told to do or not to do a thing by cither parent, never ask why you should or should not do ib.

6. Tell of your own faults and mis doings, not of 'those of your brothers and sister.*.

7. Carefully clean tho mud or enow off your booc3 before entering the house. 8. Be prompt at every meal hour. 9 Never sifc down at the table, or in the parlour, with dilty hands or tumbled hair.

10. Never interrupt any conversation, but wait patiently for your turn to, speak. 11. Never reserve your good manners for company, but bo equally polite at home and abroad.

Lob your first, last and bsst friend be your mother.

Decorating Pottery.

SELECT a medium sized red pot, taking care that ifc is quite clean, and rub it all over with ccarso glass paper to make it perfectly smooth. Have ready a bottle of Brunswick black, with which you paint the pot all over. If you find ifc too thick, pour in somo turpentine, and stir ifc well till of the proper consistency. You will find ifc dry rather quickly, but do not hurry it. When quite dry, paint ifc over with a second coat, and again let it dry thoroughly. Now trace on it the pattern you wish, with a fine paint brush and Chinese white. Do not be afraid, for if your black has bean thoroughly hardened, the white can easily be effaced with vrater or with a moist spongo, if jou rhould make a mistake. If yon aro not a pood enough draughtsman, select your flowers from a picture, cutting them out to the exacb shape of the outline ; lay them against tho pot, and trace by means of their edges. The flowers can be placed in a group or made into a wreath by being re peated or roversed. Having thus got an outline, paint in the design with the colours, putting on tho first coat very thin, and when dry giving a second coat to touch them up whero necessary, and voining ths leaves. When all this is dry-and be euro it is quite dry, or you will spoil ife—rairnish over tho whoie article, inside and out, with clear copal varnish, not too thick, adding another coat if it seems to need ifc. Do the varnishing quickly and very Btnoothly.

There are plenty of different articles that can bo decorated in this manner, and by this moaua quite ordinary vessels, which we should think quite impossible to give as a present to anyone a* they are may become specimens of tasteful work. On a tall pofc or jug a group of daffodils is simple to paint and i? effective, as also the narcissus, both of which are easy to tracts and require little variety of colour. The large marguerites are »lso very pretty done in silver, with golden eyes and delicate green leaves. The ivy forms a very pretty wreath as head ing^ or border. ITor those who.are not fond of anything in the way of sketching, I would suggest that h very pretty effoct, resembling china, can be produced by means of decalcomanie, which is so easy that anyone can do ifc The transfers aro very cheap, and the re semblance to china will be even greater if, instead of Brunswick black, ordinary oil paint of some delicate tint be used as a foundation. After the transfers have been applied and are dry, the varnishing must be done as already described.

Tasteful Letter Weights.

Several little knick-knacks can be made by careful and ingenious fingers. Largo shells, for instance, can be cleaned by moans of sulphuric acid and water, in which they can bo soaked, but not left too long, or they will become brittle. Melt some lead in an iron ladlo over a clear fire, and, when boiling, pour it into the shells, which must bo quite dry first, or they will break. When the lead is set and cold, the shells may be ornamented according to taste, and as their shapes will admit. Whelks, which are more often selected, look best simply gilt or painted with a coat of pome bright colour or black, and then tracings or rings of gold to linith them. Flatter euells could bo tveated after the fashion above described for pots, etc., with a email de»ign. These can bo used as letter weights, or if parMy tilled with lead poured in so as to steady teem, the upper parts cau bo fitted in with a cushion tor work. Stones can also be turned into ornamental weights if selected of a suitable shapo with a nice smooth surface. A good varnish for them is made by melting gelatine in hot water. With somo of toe sheets of cut-oufc pictures and sheets those can bo beautifully decorated, rub eoine of the gelatine on the back of the pse'uro, and prws it down pmootbly onto the stone. When quite stuck, pamt over thewhoestnne wii,h the gelatine, first, on one side and then on t';e other. I< may require to be varniahed afterwards, if not shiny enough.

The Original and Only Genuine. Advice to Invalids.—lf you wish to obtain quiet, refreshing sioep, free from headache, relief from pain and anguish, to calm and as suage the weary achings of protracted disease, invigorate the nervous media, and regulate the circulating systems of the body, you. will pro vide yourself with that marvellous remedy dis covered by Dr. J. Collis Browne (late Army Medical Staff), to which, ho gave the name of CHLORODYNE, and which is admitted by the profession to ho the most wonderful and valu able remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy knownfor Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHKORODYNE acts like a charm in Diarrhoea, and is the only specific in Cholera and CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all at tacks of Epiicpsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and Spasms CHLORODYNE is the only palliative in Neuralgia. Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Tooth ache, Meningitis, &c. From Symcs & Co., Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical MalJ, Simla, January 5, 1880. To J. T. Davenport, Esq., 33, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, London. Dear Sir, —Wo embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the wide-spread reputation this justly esteemed medicine. Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne.haa earned for Usclf, not only in Hindoatau, but all over the East. As a remedy for general utility, yre much question whether a better is imported into tho country, and we shall bo glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anfrio-indian home. The other brands, "we are happy to say, are now relegated to the native bazaars, and, judping from their sale, we fancy their sojourn there will be evanescent. We could multiply in stances cut inftnitum of tho extraordinary efficacy of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyno in Diarrhoea., and Dysentery. Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, the Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general sedative, that have occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhoea, and even in tho more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have wit nessed its surprisingly controlling, power. We have never used any other form of this mcdi cine than Cqllis Browne's from a firm convict-ion that it is decidedly tho best.and also from asenso of duty we owe to tho profession and the public, as we are of epinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Brovrno's is a deliberate KRKACH OV FAITH OX TUBS PART OF THE CHEMIST TO PRESCRIBE AND PATIENT ALIKE. —We are, Sir, faithfully yours, Symes and Co., Members of the Pharm. Society of "Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists. CAUTION.—Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was, undoubtedly, tho Inventor of Chlorodyne : that the story of the defendant Freeman was de liberately untrue, which, he regretted to say had been sworn to.—See " The Times," July 13, 18(H. .^old in bottles at Is'ljd, 2s 9d, 4s Cd, and 11s each. None is genuine without the words " Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyno" on the Govern ment stamp. Overwhelming medical testimony accompanies each bottle. Caution.—Beware of Piracy and Imitations.
