Condition of English Laborers.
The New York World has a correspondent at
New Castle-upon-Tyne, in England, who gives
an interesting account of life and labor among
the lowest of the lower classes, of Great Britain,
which is only another and fresh illustration of
the oftjrepcated statement that one half the
world does not know how the other half lives.
The condition of the farm laborers in England
is such as to wake that of our own Southern
negroes, in the days of slavery, seem fairly en
viable in comparison. The English laborer
stands with his family in the market place or
street, to be examined, inspected and handled
Jy his hirer, and if his "points" are satisfactory,
if he sho.T ability for the endurance of a .deal
of hard labor, he may sell hiiiisf for a given
number of bushels '6f wheat, barley, oats and
peas, or $25 in money for the whole year, and a
jent free, one-roomed, earthen floored shan-iy
for his family. The bushels of peas, barley, and
so on, are barely sufficient to support life; he
must furnish a woman assistant known asa,bond--ager"
to help Liu ii tlie field or barn, and she
receives for her services twenty cents a day.
working therefor from G A. M. to G 1 M,. while
the less happy man is expected to labor from 5
M. to 8 P. M. In winter they work while
it is light; and in La-rvot-time the boiidager's
wages are augmented to thirty-seven cents a day
She, as well as the man, must go into the fields
jn all weathers, and when they return to their
miserable hovel they sup an oat meal porridge,
barley and pea meal cake, with sometimes a show
.of TXtatoCj3. and "a faint sensation of bacon." It
id possible that a wider diffusion of education,
will do something to ameliorate, if not greatly
improve, the condition of this class of laborers in
England; but it i3 certain that thousands of white
men and women thus live, or try to live in Great
Britain to-day, with no movement for their relief
and apparently no public concern for their con
dition. HIDES WANTED.

KifiiiTixo A Wrong.-Ip 18G1 Hon. James
GuCbrie, as President of the Louisville aDl Nash
ville fcailroad Company, brought a suit in the,
courts of Kentucky against General S. B. Buck
ner, of the Confederate army, for having destroy
ed the "bridge of that railroad over Green River.
Gen. Buckner of course did not appear to defend
the suit, and it pent against him. The judge-,
nient for soiiie SC0.0Q0, under which Gen. Buck
ner's fine house in Louisville, as also his paternal
mansiou, library, and a large farm in Hart coun
ty, were sold, and bought in by the Company.
A few months ago he sued for the recovery of
this property, on the ground, first, that he had
no part in the destruction of the bridge; and
second, if he had destroyed it, the act would have
been justifiable under -the laws of war. With
out waiting for a final decision, the Company
have concluded that their case was not aood
one, and have made an amicable settlement with
Gen. Buckncr, to whom the real estate has been
restored. For the rents and personal property he
is to be paid in money.

If you need anything of the kind, you will en
courage home industry by purchasing one of our
Machines.
It is easy to operate, occupies a small space and
does not injure articles to be washed. It is strong
and substantial, and does its work in a short time.
It. is an actual improvement on others of similar out
side appearance.
In the North State Washing Machine the Clothes
are placed in hot suds and while thus immersed with
the air excluded, the Machine is operated, giving the
Garments a rolling, rubbing pressure, and ut the
same time they receive the solvent power of the soap.
The Clothes are not impaired by the use of this
Machine. You can make money by saving the wear
an. I tear which your Clothes are subjected to by
washing and beating in the old way.
This Machine gives the advantage of using boiling
suds and of cuiitiuing the steam, it can be worked
sitting or . standing. It is cheap. The price of it
puts it within reach of nearly every family, and pays
its cost back in the saving of garments.

Messrs. Burnhurdt & Houston: After .1 fair trial
of your Machine, 1 feel fully convinced that it is the,
best 1 have ever seen. I have had five or six different
Machines since I have been a housekeeper, but always
found the servants averse to use. them, both on ac
count of the labor and as they say the failure to get
the '-streaks of dirt" out of the clothes. This Ma
chine is so easy in its operation and so perfectly
cleans the clotl es that I find no difficulty in jretting
them to use it. No family ought to be without one.
Sincere vishes for your success.
