Whenever the employees of a firm or corporation think that they receive larger pay, or when their pay is for any cause reduced, they go "on a strike." Now, strikes may be very good sort of things, but we must confess that we fail to see it in that light. There is not a firm or corporation in this or any other country who are not disposed to pay those employed by them all that their services are worth. And when an employee thinks that the pay that he is receiving is not sufficient, if he will so state to his employer or employees, and they are able, out Of their earnings from his labor, to pay him more, we are sure that lie will get if on the other hand he thinks Ins labor will not justify higher pay, we cannot see how striking can possibly better his case. For no one is wi'lling to pay for something one cent more than it is worth; and should they do so, it would only lessen the profits of the employer or employers, and eventually throw him or them iutobankruptcy; and in this way in- not only the employe who would thereby be thrown out of employment, but probably hundreds of others. Some time ago there was a strike among the coal miners in this State, and what was the result of it? Why, the miners were out of employment for along time, the coal companies besides getting no revenue from their mines, were put to a great deal of unnecessary expense, and the canal boatmen having no coal to carry, of course had no income from their boats.

And in more than one instance were obliged to mortgage their boats, in order to obtain sufficient money to live upon. And although boating on fcheoanal has been scanty living during the past season, yet many of the boat-men have been unable to pay off the upon their boats, to say siothing of some who were even obliged to sell their boats. And now, we are not starting out as pi-ophets, but we see large firms and corporations either making assignments or closing their works for a while. And it looks to us as if work going to be a little scarce, and money will not be aa plentiful as it has been. Now we do not predict a panic or anything of that aort; but we know that over speculation, and probably over production, Las made money matters very tight, in consequence we may be obliged io work for a little less money.

But strike, it will do you no good, it may do many others harm. A loaf is better than no loaf at all Leap year commences tomorrow and, in order to aid the Chicago spinsters in their search for husbands, one of the papers of that city proposes to publish on New Year's Day the names of all the eligible bachelors in Chicago, together with a description of their personal characteristics, dispositions incomes, and whatever other information can be obtained about them. This we think an excellent idea and would be pleased to publish all of such that may be handed us.

Trying Times. The weather, the past few days, was calculated to try the piety of housekeepers. To get up in the morning to find your water pipes frozen ami liable to burst and flood the house; the water back of your range likely to explode; later in the day the roof leaking and the water spoiling that handsome paper in your best room of which you were soproud; thespoutnig of the house filled with ice and the thawing snow running down the side of the building and penetrating the wall; the plumbers on their dignity, as they usual'y are, and indifferent to the sufferings of their clientage; the furnace cylinder cracked by the extreme heat put upon it to heat the house, and the coal gas suffocating the inmates; the man of the house pretty mad, and disagreeable about his growing trials--all this, and more, is enough to make the lady of the house realize that life has its trials."

UNGER. Out Masquerading. About thirteen members of the Lime Kiln Club left the "Skids' headquarters Monday last on a little masquerade to the friends of the organization. The programme which was rendered at the different houses was as follows: Overture, by Mob; conundrum and song, by Tatnbo; a song, "Schraddle's Cat" by The Puffy Dutchman: conundrum from Bones, song by Shorty; a puzzle from Bones; song by Leaner Heartburn; another sticker' from Bones; song by Fudget, and concluded with a grand fynal by Mob, entitled, imitation of brass baud. If there is any fun to be gathered from this mundane sphere you can bet the Lime Kiln Club will do the raking Up to kind of practical jokes they keep the members in a perpetual terroi of sewed coats, umbrellas, and the like, and have the jolliest time of any in the city.

Salt With Nuts. As this is the season when children and adults also, eat freely of nuts, it may not be out of place to give to our readers what an exchange says upon the subject: "One time, while enjoying a visit from an Englishman, hickory nuts were served in the evening, when my English friend called for salt, stating that he knew a case of a woman who was taken violently ill by eating heartily of nuts in the evening. The celebrated Dr. Abernethy was sent for, but it was after he had become too fond of his cups, and he was in no condition to go. He muttered 'salt, of which no notice was taken.

Next morning he went to the place, and she was a corpse. He said that had they given her salt it would have relieved her, and if they would allow him to make an examination he would convince them. On opening the stomach, the nuts were found in a mass. He sprinkled salt on this and it immediately dissolved. I have known of a sudden death myself which appears to have been the effect of the same cause.

I generally eat salt with nuts and consider it improves them. Roof Crushed--Serious Loss. Messrs. Cost Rouser, liverymen of this place, a year or two ago leased a portion of the lot on which the Lyceum building stands and erected upon it a shed 71 feet by 18 feet, for the purpose of storing carriages and buggies.
