Among the . few pronounced "fforkingmenV candidates elected, to the British i parliament at the recent election, the most widely known is John Burns, the great London labor - leader. He first came into prominence during the celebrated Trafalgar riots, and the reputation then gained was greatly increased during the great dockers' strike. His word was law to thou sands of strikers; and his coolness, moderation and supreme authority prevented much threatened dam age, and led to an amicable adjust ment of the difficulty. He devotes his entire time to the cause of la bor, being supported by penny con tributions, the aggregate of which he will not allow to exceed 100 a ti it ' ' i i year, lie says mis ib enougn, ana he will take no more, although he has been offered 5000 for a year's leviumig wui. iio to piuuauijr tut; mostconsistent, able and useful "la bor agitator" living. Sheriff Kelly of Portland is a peculiar man. He has held the of fice four years and only now finds out that his deputies wore engaged fixing juries, and were otherwise unreliable.

It is clnlrned that there are 132 pat ents for lumber dryer grau ted so far, and as many more applications filed in the patent office have been rejected.

Hinton, the water wheel inventor, was here Tues day from Foster. He Is on crutches, having Hlashed his foot with an adze.
