Ang one wha advises them to put them: telres outalde the pate of the law fs their enemy and not ther friend. Thelr hope for the future fain restored confidence and reviving activity, and these must necessarlly be postponed by Tawlessoess and violence of the part of the working classes. RUT ON® DUTY. Raltinore American. ‘There fs, therefore, but one duty devolving RBpon those who live by their labor, anid that is tu brand with their disapprobation all the acts which have Jately been indulged In by discon- tented demagogues. The men who stand on the streets and howl at the police, of whore protection they are often glad, whostone the very soldicrs whom they would cheer ff on pa- tate nnd run like frightened sheep at the first dlaplas of force, are simply cowards, The men who break open gun shops, who tear up ratl- road tracks, and Ore cara aud depota, are net worthy the name of strikers, of men Whe con- sider they have been poorly paid or overworked, am] who preaent their grievances in such a was as to elicit sympathy and adiniration, THE THUNK LINES, New York Sun.

Tho rioters must and will be put down, effectually and finally, if it requires n hundred thousand men and treasure without mit. Any other couree and any other result would be 9 aurrender as disustrous as it would be cowardly, It {a no longer a question of protecting this or that raitroad and {ts trail —it fs a question of preserving the supremacy of the law and the very existence of civil je ernment, Both these are as distinctly assailed tudlay 28 when the Rebel guns opened on Fort Sumter. AROLITION OF SKILLED LANOR, Detrout Post, One of the most preposterous demands made ‘Dy the strikers is that the raflroad companies Fhall abolfsh all claseffication of the engineers and glye all of them the highest wages that ore pald toany of them, This demand tlustrates the insane tyranny of the tabar unions. It amounts toa deinand for the abolition of skilled labor. ‘The most pecullar feature of ft. is that the engincers are willing to put themselves un- der such bondage; that they are willing tu sub- scribe to a doctring which practically abut ther out from all advancement, and declares that in- felligence aud experience shall count for noth- ng.

Remains of these vast works exist in every part of Rome and of the adjacent country, and wo can believe that, as Mr, Parker says, the aque- duets, in thelr original state, must have been among the nilest objects of the city. Sumctimes they were carrie underground iu apecus, or subterrancan channels; some tlnes, gain, {it wns necesrary — that they should take the form of Imposing arcades, froin thirty to Hifty feet In height. With these every viaitur to Rome Is {amillar, but of the underground aqueducts, which Mr. Parker has done nis best to eluctdato in tins volume, ho hag hardly a conception. They are, however, course, an important clement in the archeology of thecity, and Mr. Parker thinks that he has been ablo to assign most of tho existing re- mains to thelr proper originals. To do this, he had to follow cach aqueduct up to {ts proper sourca and down to ts mouth, and ft may well be supposed how much Iobor this involved. Of one of the groat aqueducts, the Marcela, portions were discovered’ iu 1971 near the rallway station, and inscriptions were found stating that three of the aqueducts: parsed that spot. This is aspecimen of thu wort of clues by whieh Mr. Parker hud to work.

So In B.C, B1awa hear of the tirst aqueduct. Tt was the work of the famous Censor Applise Claudius Caceus, an enterprising and business-like man, who gave his name to two great public works. One was the Via Appia, leading from Rome to Capua; the second was the aqueduct, known hencelorth ay the Aqua Appia, Its source was in some fields rather more than seven miles trum tho city, and {ts chsunel was carried underground tor about eleven miles. The water was finally conveyed to the Porta Capena, on an arcade about 100 yarda in length, Tho undergrountl channel, or apecus, (a nt aygreater depth, and. {t appeara that the actus! remains of this aque- duct must have been buried beneath aubsequent. works exccuted by Nerva and Trajan, Juyenai speuka of it (IET., 11) a3 veteres arcus, and it was, ft seems, allowed to fall into decay, Exeava- tlons made {n 1863 and 140 brought to leht sume underground chambers which were prob- ably comsected with tt, and there chambers, Mr. Varker says, are clearly of the time of th Hepublle, the walls being butlt of rabble-stone, though the remalus are faced with brick-work of Tru, The lowest channel ts of tufa, and passca undor the wall of Servius ‘Tullius, Itie but very recently that any traces of this anclent work, Interesting us the drat Roman aqueduct, have been discovered. ‘The apoile taken In the war with Pyrrhus gave Rome a sudden access to wealth, aid this wae utilized in the year 273 .
