There will be held' in London on
November 6th next, an international
trades congress. -The subjects toTe
touched upon will be the most effica
cious means for removing tho obsta
cles to free combination in foreign
countries; the best methods of com
bination among the various countries;
the limitation of production by means
of the reduction of the hours of la
bor and the question of. allowing the
state to determine what the hours for
lador shall be.
The folly of attempting political
prophecy is illustrated by the leading
journals of the country now being re
ceived at this office, published pre
vions to the nomination by the Chi
cago convention. They solemnly and
oracularly announce that what was
done would not be'dbne, and that
what wasi not done would bo done.
But two out of the whole lot guessed
right the Minneapolis Tribune, Re
publican, and the Cleveland Plain
Dealer, Democratic
The brief reign of Kaiser Tritz was
marked with the abolition of the cav
alryman's cuirass. This is the last
cuirass in -the continental armies, nnd
England is now calling for its aboil
tion in her army. In the German
army the revolver has also been dis
carded in favor of the carbine.
John Bright has declined the
honor of a peerage and a consequent
membership, in the house of lords,
proffered him by the queen. There is
probably not another statesman in
England who would have the moral
standing to resist such a temptation,
The late James Freeman Clarke of
Boston once embodied a pertinent
truth in a few.wprds, when he de
clared that "the politician thinks of
the next election and the statesman,
of the next century."

"QUEERED" THE SHOW.
Bad Breaks Made by a Theatrical Asent;
"Talking about superstitious peo
ple," said an old theatrical advance
agent as he settled himself comforta
bly in a chair for a chat, "the worst
people on earth for, that are in the
theatrical profession. "Whether it is
because their life, like a gambler's,
depends largely upon chance.it is
hard to say, but in this respect the
two professions are just alike. I
recollect once last fall an incident
happened that almost converted me
to their idea. 1 had not been long on
the road, and in laying out the rooms
for the company at Virginia, a little
town in Illinois, I assigned our sou-
brette and pianist to No. 13 as the
most comfortable room to be had in
the hotel. The ladies were delighted
upon their arrival and showered upon
your blushing and humble servant
promso thanks ana bewitching
glances j Jt "being my .first stand with
the 'company, I went down stairs,
highly elated at my success in pleas
ing tho ladies and making n favorable
impression upon the two prettiost
women in the troupe, but alas! I was
counting my chickens before they
were hatched, for I had hardly got
seated in the corridor when the bell
boy, with d ludicrous look of horror
upon his face, whispered: 'Sometings
de matter in 13, sir, dey wants yer.'
"Supposing something serious had
happened, I rushed up stairs to the
room, where I was met by the sou
brette. Seizing me by the arm, and
stamping her pretty foot, she fairly
shrieked, 'How how dare you, sir,
Dut me in No. 13? I won't stand itl
I'll leave the company first.' and bang
I went the door in my face.
"To say I was surprised would be
drawing it mild. I was knocked
silly, and stood for a minute fairly
dazed by her outburst'of temper, but
recovering my senses I sought out
the manager for an explanation.
" 'Holy Moses!' he yelled, jou
don't mean'to tell me you put her in
13? "Whew! You have played the
dickens. "We'll have to get that room
changed at once." Then ho explained
to me that it was next to impossible
to get an actor to sleep in a room
numbered 13, as they believed it to
be 'dead bad luck.'
"We went down stairs- together,
but as it was court week no other
room could begot, so the girls wero
obliged to stay there. Would you
believe it. that sirl caught the measles
and had, to lay by for a week. She
has never snoken to me since.
"Another time, in Kansas, I was
with a company playing week stands
and generally held the door on the
opening nights" In this town they
had to come np a long stairway to
get into the opera house, which was
nothing more than a hall with a flat
floor. It was a nasty, drizzling, cold
night, and looked bad for the Bhow,
but as the advance sale had been
good we were in hopes of doing a
fair business. J. was 'standing at tne
head of the stairs when a man came
np and bonded me a 'comp.' I took
it. Just at that moment my man
ager dashed up the stairs, waving
his arms like a windmill trying to
make some kind of a signal for me to
stop the man, bat it was too late.
He had gone in.
" 'What's the matter' I asKed in
nocently.
"Matter? O, good Lord, hear the
man,' he said as he dropped on the
chair with a groan. 'Why, confound
you, don't youknowyou have queered
the show by letting that xeno win r
Don't you know that it tho first man
is a deadhead he's a Jonah?.
'Sure enough, wo dropped money
in the town, and 1 have seen the same
thing over and over again. Yon may
laugh, but it's so.
"Now, I ain't superstitious a bit."
ho concluded as he rose to go. and
threw away his cigar, "but I'll tell
you what's a fact we never yet
showed in a town where we met a
funeral bnt what we did good busi
ness. But I must be off. Good
night."
