Joseph Cook on “Co-operative Savings-Banke asa Helpto the Poor,” rofera at soins lenath to the co-operative syste of Germany, and commends it ng applic. able to the needs of American Inbor, Mr. Cook has performed o pralsoworthy servico in this expusition and commendation of the Ger- man system. For, whether the system can bo made practically usoful fn the United States or not, there can be no doubt that it has been of vast utility on this Continent, and that fabor in Germany especially owes ft an incalculable debt. And not Inbor alone, but society, Government, pence, order, prosperity, are also greatly its debtors, For, with all the Bocinlistic discussion tliat [prevails in. this country, the actual out- breaks, disorders, riots, Inaurroctions, are com- paratively few. The compensations of labor arc proportionately, if not actually, very smaall; i the United States thoy would bo considered ru- -foously, intolerably emall; and: yet strikes aro extremely rare in Germany; infact thevscarcely ever happen. Inspite of all its hardships,—and they are many,—labor requires no fron hand to keep {t from rebellion. It {8 clvil, and withal tolerably contented and prosperous. GERMAN ‘THRIFT. Perhaps this fe due in part to practical train- ing, and to the .thrifty propensities of German character. The opportunities for labor are Im- Sted here, yet nearly cyery one seenis to be doing something. * Idlers and loafers are uot respect- able, and they sre not perniitted to travel about the country in gangs, sleeping in barns, and robbing hen-roosts for a living. The Gorman laborer, liko any other, tries to get the best Waces he cant but will work for bare subsiat- ence rather than do nothing, To fs,a3 o rule, not rapid, not expert, but be je industrious. He does not-squander fn an hour's dissipation what ho carng‘in a week of toll. Written con- tracts are seldom made between employer and -employed,—the alinost unlyersal understanding being that any one taken into service may quit, or be discharged, on fourteon days’ notice. Cases are not uncommon whero operatives havo sorved this way for thirty or forty years in suc- cesalon In the anme establishment. And they who thus apply themselves to steady nnd ‘pa- tent Industry gencrally acquira tolerably com- ‘fortably hotnes, and Iye ‘in comfortable inde: pendence in spite of the mncagrencas of thelr wages, ut character and education do not entirely account for these things, Successful and cou- tented induatry has 9 powerful, an almost india- pensable auxiliary in the “BXISTING CO-OPERATIVE BYSTEM, ‘That system had its origin about cizhtcen years ago, and has had Its priueipal growth and devel- ment in the last -ten years, It has rapidly ex- tended itself into Austria, .and is now spreading over Italy and Belgiamn, Yt arose from no press: ure of social disturbances, but grew silently amt steadily from m careful nnd syatematic study of economic principles. It is a_systom of. self- help, ag distingulahed from Btate help on tl one hund and Comnmuoaletic absolutisin on the other. It wos opposed allko by the Beaurocratic and the - Socfalistic clements,—the first Jealous of all frecdoin of nesociation, and the latter of all social organlzation not aspiring to polltical dominion. - Lassnlle, the great Communistic agitator of Germany, opposed It; for he saw that, in rendering Invor self-helping and inde- pendent, it would remove the foundations nud pretexts of his disorgunizing schemes. For the snmorenson the Beaurocratie element soon re- Jaxed {ts opposition, for it was directly seen that nothing could more dffectually preserve ihe equillbrium of labor canital and moncy capital, and thus fortify the:peaco of socicty against So-- cialist attacks, than the organle growth of the salf-belping principle, DEGINNING OF TIE SYSTEM, ‘The sounder and chief organizer of the ayatem fa Dr. Schulze-Dolltzsch, who takes hls name m the email town of Delltzsch, in Prussian faxony, from .which he has been repeatedly electod to the Prussign Parliament. Ho is not deud, 28 Mr. Coo! ates, but enjoys a hearty old age, and he ts now the eflleient Anwalt, or Pecsidlng, Counaclor, of the great National Union of German Co oporatiye Socleties, whose chiof office is at Potadain, Ils whole mature Iifo has been given to the organization and de~ velopment of the syatem which he founded, aud which is now such a inonument to hia eagacity und zeat as seldom crowns human energy and wisdom. . The loading object of the Schulze-Delitzsch system is thot of alfording labor direct access to capital by converting labor {tsvlf {futon basis of ceredit. it proceeds froin the idea that credit may be created by association; that, while an indlyidual artisan cannot borrow the necessary capital to make htin an {Independant producer, on association of artisans cun do 80} and that such an asgociation, convert- ing iteclf in turn into a lender, mo obtain the minimum of ris oud max!- mum of security fn its tranaactions by continin its Joans to itsown members. Lenders ani borrowers being virtually the same persons, the formor must have the most accurate {nforma- ton possible as to the trustworthiness of the latter, and may havo the further advantage of sotalning thelr loans ‘perpetually within’ the range of their own napection. ‘An additionat diminution of risks is obtained by making the members of the Association Hinble for the debss Leach member. So important fe this principle of mutual Nabllity thut it has been called the keystone of the whole system. 178 PRINCIPLES. ‘The first Assoctation of this kind establiahed fn Germany was organized hy Dr, Sehulxo- Delitzsch at his own Village of Delitzach, in 1851. ‘This plonecr Soclety is the model from which the multitude of Co-operative Credit Banks viat vow coyer the face of the Empire have been formed, The statutes of fits organization are substautlaily; 1.

Shares shall be of cqual amounts, proportioned to tha number of membera, and each snember shall havo one shore only, 7% Cains und losses shall be diatributed In proportion to monoy paid in. 8. Loaus shall be made only on persoual security of members, but iortgages may be taken. 9 Rute of interest shall be uniform for all, and shall deoend on the state of the monoy-markot. 0. ‘Lhe management shall bo representative, and subject to control of the members in their Reneral meetings. ‘Ths mauaglng body js a atl Cummittee, or Executive Council, re- sponsible to thy general meeting; {n the larger Associations the management fa vested in the unllinitedly Havte Directors, who choose a Board of Control. On these foundations, with such improve- Monts ag thine and experlonce have developed, multttudes‘of Credit Socicties have sprung inte existence jn all parts of thy Empire,—atfordiug: the Germat'taborer a practical school of busl- ness, & Hf{u deposit and profitable investment for hie carninya, a wholesome and contenting in- centive to toll, and the abillty to borrow money On equal terms with the milllonaire, It must uot be aupposed, however, that the Credit Buctetles constitute the whole of the German co-operative syatem. ‘They are the pe- ecliurly German part of thu bystum, NUT 18 INCLUDES ALSO Raw Material and Store Unions, Productive As- soclatlona, or Unions for the production and sale of Hnished wares, Building Unions, Con- aume Unions, or Associutions for the purchase and galg of the necessaries o} life, wud others whose recent origin indicates the movement of the co-operative pridelite into naw felds, As early aa 1803 u Natioval Unton was tormod of thu different Co-operative Sucletics then ex: fating, with Dr. Schulze-Delltzset a8 its execu tive licnad.

Somethlug more universal was needed, und #0 external that, if one path of measure is lost in a particular attitude, another corresponding one may remain practicable,—as, for instance, if the figure inellucd forward, thus lengthening the back and contracting the chest, tlint_ the sides might show a line unchanged2in length though curved; or, {f Io- clined to one side, a8 in the ‘fHasus,? making one elde long and the other ahort, tbat the back orfront might show -points to fix the exact division in the chest. While seeking for truth of form and adjusting the proportions of my manlkina, a remarkable statement fn the Keye- lutiun enzaged my attention: “Aud Ne meastired the wall thereof, an bun- dred und forty-und-four cubits, according to the measure ofa man,—that (s, of the ange).""— Lieve. . lation, 2zt, (ae8 12-17 inclusie A thought Iwonld take the writer at his word, and ask the unit of measuro of bis guldeu reed, The Golden Rule of fe belug the real mean. prepertiinal of morale and roligion, migat 1 not hope to tind the mean common ground of Art and Science, of Nature and [tumantty, iu the “Measure of a Man,’ the higheat work of Na- ture und the most perfect imase of bis Maker which the Supreme Artist has Icft ust Jo other words, my own impulse, with these hints, was to try and find out ff theso seemingly caballstic words might be capable of a practical artistic interpretation, In measuring my little “Egyptian Water-Car- rier,’ I found it plain ag a foot rule: the igure dn hight and breadth is dvided by twelve. “Bein satisiiod in this respect, 1 reaasured myaatt au friends by iminedfate actual moasnrements of the Evyptian® standard: in the Vatican, and of the casts of the *'Theseus" and © Ii{saus" at Rome, and afterward of these marbles aud the “Fates at the British Museum, considering these tobo the highest “angals” of sculpture that the world has known, Other famous tiz- ures, In proportion tu thelr excellence as ac knowledged by the best judges, were found to come more or less near thls standard,—that fs, according as their divisions into twel{ths were accurately indicated. A PET ROBIN’'S WATS, Mary B. Hotiner in Sctence Neics, Thava a pet robin nearly 8 years old which {cll fram its nest before {t was fledged. It never had beon Imown to bent agalust the wires of its cope In any way.

At first we fed him on spiders, earth- worms, and such larvae could bo obtatned, but very soon he manifested a marked preferance for Goef-steak, and took yory kindly to bread, crackers, bread and milk, cake, ete. For the last. seven yoars his “living” has been anything or- dinarily found upon the famfly-table, te having become altogether tou aristocratic to stoup to vemmon robins’ food. During the first winter, whenever the cook was frying doughuuts, wo noticed og peculiar, teasing note, uttered only when he was spociatly anxivus for some now kind of food.

For perxons, also, bo’ has a marked proferenco,—seldom changing bis im- pressions, even Upon acquaintance, and upon be- diye egurted to du so by inany tempting morsels, His distike 4s manifested by a pecullurly sharp quip, gulp. anil by running Into the farthest cor- nor of the cage und turning his back upon the interloper,—not ln a manner indicating fear,toue. ratherdetunce, Sloreover, if be la singly nev- er so merrily, the entrance of the person he dis- Hikes checks [t all, and he even refusos fo cat, unles rved to tt, unless bo eaves the room, THOSE AWFUL COWs, Detroit Free Press, ‘Thero probably {un't a woman In North America who isn’t afrald of cows, atid thore is nota cow in North America which would barm oue halr of any woman's head if ft bad the beat chance in the world and no other job on hand.

The early morning {s delicious, Take only a cup of coffee aud a hoard piacuit, and start out for a walk to one of the many churches whose dis- cordant chimes ring out a noisy welcome. Then visit the markets, That upon the Campo del Marto fs the most plctureaque. Mere all the products of this fruity isle hang In masses of ret confurion. Close by the battery at the ond of the Prado a peculiar and exciting scenc may be witnessed cyery moroing. Here the surf tolla up with frev stride ngainat the shore, Just whore a tittle bay fs forined tn the coral rock several hundreds of horses are undergoiny an inspititing eea-bath, or awaiting their turn in long Hne, tied Head nud tall, upon the shore, Without this refreshing process the horses soon drop under the climate, and even with it they are all sleepy and sad, Perhaps it 1s partly ow- ing to the preposterous style of harness in use.

Business hours with merchants cease by general custom at an early hour, After 4 o'clock in the afternoon the Prado and avenues leading toward the Cerro present the gav effects we Nortlmen ascribe to festive occasions only. Our country-wonien may be distinguished in the throng by their hate. ‘The Cuban ladies dis- dain the use of further ornament for the head than that afforded by an elaborate colffure. Their forms are swathed in light musling, and many are seen wearing the lace scarf of Castile pendent from masses of dark liatr knotted ut the back uf the bead. The real soclal life of Havana ts bat revealed, bowever, alter dark, ‘Then a motfly throng surges through the cano- pled atreets toward the cafes, ihe theatres, and the public squares, whera splendid military bands discourse stirriny and, to us, novel Span- isi music, In the britliantly lighted cafes one must wait often fora vacated chair.

Every country has a dance pecullar to it alone, and that of Contrat America is the donsita. The music of this dance Is pecullar, changing key three different times, and my experience fn the dauce fs equally pecullar, Enelrcling the walst. of a beautiful black-cyed senorita with my rizht orm, I whirled, or rather was whirled, away ina round dance the step of which was sinilar to the balance step of the-waltz, the pretty slip- pered fect of my partuer keeping exact time to the music, Mvetinyy another couple, the music having here changed time, we balance, and the ladies change three times. Suddenly the muel- clans having became warmed to-thefr work, a brisk air {s played, nnd, clasping your partner around the waist with your right arm, your left similarly encircling the walst of the other Indy, the other gentleman having Nkewise disposed of his arms, the jadies put their urms around the walsts of thegentlemen, aid yuu are initiated {uto the myaterles of a dance unequaled by any other in tts voluptuousncss. ‘Taking a step with your Jeft foot you ara facing your partner; go close are you to her that the “sweet breath from between ber red Ips fans your heated brow; you gaze into the Hquid dupths of her eyes; you feel the beating of her heart in untgon with yours; only for a moment is this; etill em- bracing and in the embrace of the two Spaniel beauties, you revolve upon your right heel and are brought face to face with the other lady, Excited with the plensuraof the dance, her bosom rishi and falling faster and faster in the affort to breathe, her brilliant, darksome orbs fascinate you nud steal your senses.

New Haren Journal und Courter, Some thirty years ago there appeared ine Philadelphia newspaper what purported to be au. extract from on Enellsh newspaper, to the effect that a Mr, ——, on English gentleman, had died in that placo, leaving by will a large estate to a certain merchant in New Hayen, {n the United States. ‘ This act wasout of gratitudeto the New Haven merchant, who had befriended him while sick and destitute some years bofore, when he was sojourning at theTontino Hotel inthat city, astrancer ina strange land. The testator, un- fortunately, had forgotten the American. Good Samaritan, butin bie will gave the locality of the store of the merchant—Exchange Block, fronting the Green—and so described bls busi- pess und personal appearance that ft was evident to the public whom he meant, Ry Every one congratulated the morcbant on hfs good fortune, a he was a gentivinan of ‘some excellent, kindly qualitics, and bad just foiled und gone out of business, It was subsequently ascertained that the entire story was o fraud, the alleged oxtract hayiug been writton by the merchant himaelf and inserted ju the Phiiadel- lin paper for the purpogae of getting credit in his deaporato circumstances, But hero the funny part of the story comes. While the matter was belng agitated in this commanity, a former partner of the merchant, alao in desperate circumstances, came out in a ecard ina New Haven paper, stating Uhat he, and. not the merchant, was the real belr to the ve- tate; that it was he, and not the merchant, who had kindly nursed tho sick Englishman and loaned bin mony ia bis distress, wll the elreum- etuvces of which wore as fresh as yeaterday In lis memory t Both have long since died, the privilers of do- ing which even people “ hard uo" are not denled when their ting comes. And now none of their blood walks these strects to have thelr cheeks tingle at this revelation, =~ . 2 QUIrS.
