Lecture Lait Evening.
The third lecture in the high school course
was delivered last evening in Mconian Hall,
by Hon. E. F. Pillsbury of this city.
Mr. Pillsbury's subject was “Labor," which
he defined as the first great law of life. The
brain and the hand of man are alike fitted for
it. Man's dominion over the earth was given
with the understanding that he was to subdue
it. It was the plan of the Creator that his life
should be one of mental and physical activity,
llis life, in any of its conditions, depends
upon labor. This condition applies also to
animallife. Animals have to resort to physical
exertion to obtain the food which is to sustain
life. There is no such thing as absolute rest
for any living being. Absolute rest is death.
Work or die, is the immutable law of the
Creator to every living thing.
The superior want9 of man to those of the
animal were shown, and the hard work re
quired to supply thenT. In this man is assisted
by the forces of nature. Animals are piovid
ed to work for him ; the force of the wind to
drive his mills and machinery and send his
ships across the water; water-power turns the
wheels of his factories ; the steam-power
pushes on his rail-cars; the power of elec
tricity enables him to whisper from continent
to continent; but utter all, labor is the only
key that unlocks these forces of nature nnd
makes them minister to the wants of man.
Capital must be considered as an important
element in the production of other capital,
but if it is not used in the employment or
support of labor, it never produces anything.
We speak of the desirableness of inducing
capital to come into our State to improie our
vast water-power, but though it were to come
in untold millions, it would never construct a
dam or build a mill.
The blessing* of labor were considered.
Labor is not generally regarded a blessing.
Many people have similar feelings with the
boy who said there were three things that be
did not like to do—turn the grindstone, saw
wood, and work. Labor gives health anil
vigor to the system, developed the powers of
mind and body, elevates the character and
adds immeasurably to the enjoyments of life.
The hardiest and healthiest, most intellectual,
most successful and most happy people are
found in those latitudes where the greatest
amount of active labor is performed. In
the Torrid zone, where natural luxuriance
brings case, the people are effiminate, igno
rant and debased. The Esquimaux of the
northern latitudes are a* weak and ignorant
as tire inhabitant* of the hottest countries.
They both live with but little labor, and are
alike degraded. Human progress ha* been
chiefly confined to those countries where the
necessities for labor and the inducements to
labor are greatest. All that makes life desir
able is found there. \ comparison of nations
will prove that labor is conducive to the high
est human progress, and elevates and blesses
mankind. In any community of individuals,
as a rule, the wisest and most successful and
happiest are those who labor. Every active
man’s experience proves that he is the hap
piest when lie is the busiest, while the habitu
al loafer becomes incapacitated to enjoy even
the common blessings of life. He is of no
consequence to himself or the world, and de
serves to be taken with a pair of tong* and
dropped into nonentity. As employment
tends to contentment, peace and happiness, it
saves from immorality, vice and crime ; while
idleness breeds discontent and unhappiness
and leads to debauchery and crime.
The lecturer next dwelt upon the varied
products of labor. Aside from the gifts of heav
en that are common to all. and landed estates, <
what property have we that is not chiefly the
product of labor? To it arc we indebted for the i
buildings that shelter us from the storm, fur the '•
clothing that protects us from the cold, for
the food that supplies the constant waste of
our systems, for the furniture in our dwel
lings, for the fuel that warms tflem, for our
churches and school houses, for the factory
and mechanic's shop, the machinery that helps
us in our work, the ships that traverse the |
ocean, the stores where exchanges of products ]
are made, the roads along which we travel,
the carriges and cars in which we ride, the ,
books and papers we read, the ideas stowed ,
in the mind, and the many things that adorn ,
and beautify our surroundings. Labor must
preserve them all or reproduce them when
they perish. The wonderful progress that
has been made in the inodes of labor was de
tailed in a very instructive manner, as also
were the improved modes of living, going back |
to the rude implements and customs of the
fathers and contrasting them with the im
proved helps to labor at the present day. The
improved means of conveying information
wore also cited as triumphs of intelligent labor.
These conhl lie continued only in the exercise 1
of the same activity that brought them to their
advanced condition. As Nature prohibits one
generation from living upon the fruits of the
labors of the previous one, and compels each
to toil for its own support, so the offspring
cannot inherit the knowledge and practical ,
experience gained by its parents, and requires
that labor shall he bestowed upon and ex
perienced by each and every child in turn
in order to perpetuate any and all advance
ments made.
In view of these considerations, is not labor
honorable? The lecture had no sympathy
with the notion that labor is a misfortune, or
w ith tlie theologicial idea that it has been im
posed upon man as a penalty for sin. What
consistency is their in the idea that the creator
imposed labor on nuin as a punishment for
am nnil th«‘n so changed Ins nature at tli > fall,
aa to convert the punishment into a blessing l'
God himself is a laboring God; man was
created in his image and likeness ; he is a man
designed to labor. The requirement of labor,
then, was a part of the original design—was
intended for man’s best good,—is a duty and
a blessing, and is therefore honorable.
Distinction has been made between mental
and manual labor, to the detriment of the
latter, but both are closely connected and are
alike honorable. The labors of the greatest
intellect are brought out and developed In
tfieir practical application by manual labor.
Iatbor is wasted sometimes for want of suf
ficient knowledge of the condition of things;
and there is a great deal of labor that is worse
than useless—that tears down instead of
building up; that destroys instead of creating.
In this class the lecturer placed the labor of
thieves, bank robbers, burglars and other
criminals; also the appropriation of agricul
tural labor to raise groin to be ground into
alcoholic liquers. What a paradise earth
would be, were all labor honest and legiti
mate.
The distribution of the products of labor
was considered at length. This is a matter of
human control. The product* of the indus- ]
try of an individual are at the mercy of soci- !
ety. and depend upon the laws and customs ’
of society. Are these laws just, even in this I
privileged country ? He thought tliat a brief i
examination would show that they are not.
Even in our own city and State we find prop
erty divided very unequally between those
whose labor produced it, and those who gather
it to themselves, the reward of others' labor.
Selfishness, sordid avarice, and greed of gain,
are ever lying in wait on every hand, watch
ing for opportunities to prey upon the rewards
of others' exertions. Those who have gained
immense fortunes suddenly, have mostly
wrung it from the hard earnings of the poor.
How many toil day after day, year after year,
living upon scanty fare, to create the wealth
of the world. Much of this wealth comes
from profits on salaries of mechanics. For
tunes are almost invariably accumulated
through speculations, from the result of the
labors of others. He considered this gross
injustice, the great crying sin of our social
system. It is the prolific source of evil, as
the glitter and gauze of sudden wealth tempt
to crime and create an unnatural thirst for
superficial living. It is the prime cause of
the crimes committed by those hopelessly
doomed to poverty. The wrong is not in the
existence of capital, but in its unequal distri
bution—its vast accumulations in the hands
of the few and consequent impoverishment of
the many, and the real injury of both.
"Ill fares the land to starving tits a prev,
When wealth accumulates and meu decay.”
I he remedy for this is n great problem.
The evil is of such gigantic proportions that
it may well attract and challenge the atten
tion of the deepest thinkers of the age.
The toiling millions have not the means or
leisure to devote to n reform in this matter.
While they are devoting their time and ener
gies to the production of wealth at home on
their farms, in the factories, workshops, ship
yards, forests, on the rivers, and on the
>eas, the rich are leading society, moulding
the fashions, establishing customs, control
ling legislation by the various influences that
wealth affords, and devising new schemes and
sew methods by which their gains and power
may be increased. But the day will come
when enlightened, intelligent labor, with
truth, justice, and right on its side, shall gain
Lite victory over this sham state of society;
when the power that produees all wealth, that
rolls on the wheels of progress, that moves
tnd controls the world, will right its own
wrongs, protect and guard its own rights.
Let each seek to faithfully perform his duty
n bringing about the result. The lecturer
dosed with an eloquent allusion to New Eng
and's great statesman, who was always kind
tnd considerate in his deportment towards
he laboring classes, and who when he lay
lying within the shades of his Marshfield
arm, called around him to receive his parting
ilessiflg, in that most solemn hour, the lal>or
:rs on his farm and the servants of his house
mid. with an allusion, also, to the example
ind life of the Savior in the humble walks of
ife.
Mr. Pillsbury is perfectly at home on the
vlatform and speaks with freedom and grace,
lie seems familiar with the subject and treated
t with clearness and considerable force and
-nthusiasm.
We would advise all who are subject to
?olds, Coughs, Sore Throat, and all diseases
>f a like nature, to use Adamson's Cocoii
Balsam. It is being used quite extensively,
tnd gives universal satisfaction. Price only
(5 cents in large bottles.
The choicest Tooth Powder that we have
■vi r seen is selling at a tremendous rate at
vinsman's. Price only 25 cents. He has re
ceived a large invoice this week.
M. G. Brooks requests us to say to all par
ies having accounts with him, that they must
>e settled on or before the 1st (lay of April,
f not cost will be made. He offers heating
toves at cost. All other goods at greatly re
luced prices for the next ten days, previous
o disposing of his stock to other parties.

Fnll Particulars of the Los3 ofXJ. S.
Steamer Oneida.
Sax Francisco, March 1.
The ship Benefactress, which arrived from
V'okahama, Japan, to-day, brings full partic
ulars of the loss of the American vessel of
war. Onedia, which left Yokahama on Janu
irv 3d.
The steamer left her anchorage about five
/clock in the afternoon and the accident oc
curred at seven o’clock on the snme evening. !
As the Onedia steamed out of the harbor the |
L-rews of the various vessels and the men at j
work in the forts gave cheers and wished !
her a happy voyage. On passing out of the j
the harbor her fires were banked and steam ;
blown off. While the officers were at dinner, j
at about seven o'clock, the lookout man ;
shouted ‘ steamer lights ahead.” and a mid
shipman gave the order to port her helm.
Everything seemed quiet on board of the oth- !
er steamer. This leads to the belief that she ]
had not observed the Onedia although her
lights were burning brightly. The steamer. I
which proved to he the Bombay, of the Pen
insular and Oriental line, came right on
;nd struck the Onedia on the starboard, abaft
ihe gangway, aliont half way between the
main and mizzen rigging. A hole was cut
through her by which the whole interior of
he ship was rendered vissible.
The binnacles, wheel and rudder were car
ried away, and two men standing at the wheel
were instantly killed. The Bombay did not
stop after crushing through the Oneida,
though the guns of the latter which happened
to be loaded were almost instantly fired to
attract her attention and bring her back,
i irders were given to lower the boats, but !
only one life-boat was available, the others !
having been crushed. This life-boat was
manned by l)r. Stoddart. the boatswain, and
15 of the crew. Five guns were fired, but
before the sixth could be discharged the
Oneida sunk, it lieing within ten minutes
after she was struck. None of those saved
-aw a man or heard a voice on board the
Bombay. They report that when it became
evident that there was no hope of saving the
ship, the officers gathered around Captain
Williams, and he was heard to say that if the
ship went down he would go with her. The
life-boat was obliged to leave the sinking
■hip to avoid being swamped..
After rowing about for a while the crew of
[he life-boat seeing none of their shipmates
Hooting, they reluctantly turned their faces
shoreward, land distant about 5 miles, which
they reached at daylight the next morning.
They were received by the natives, and with
the help of guides started for Yokahama,
which they reached at daylight the next morn
ing. The Bombay was immediately ordered
to the scene of the wreck, and succeeded in
saving 3D men who had got into the cutter
which floated when the ship went down. Sev
eral other vessels, one with Minister Delong
on board proceeded to the scene of this di
saster during the day, but no more lives were
saved. The Japaneese government sent
boats and apparatus to search for the wreck,
and if necessary to buoy the spot.
The passengers on board the Bombay were
quite surprised when they heard of the calam
ity that had befallen the vessel they had
struch, and declare that they neither heard
any request from the Oucdia to stay by them
or tin minute guns fired.
A naval court has been demanded by the
Captain of the Bombay.
The officers and men of the Onedia num
bered 176, only 56 of whom, including Dr.
Stoddart and two junion officers, survived
the disaster.
