ON

THE GREAT STRIKES OF '77,

ENTITLED

STRIKERS, COMMUNISTS, TRAMPS

AND DETECTIVES.

This book is the only truthful and complete history of the Great Strikes of '77 ever published.

It is splendidly illustrated with forty (40) engravings of the best style and art. It gives a most entertaining account of Tramps of all ages and nations; their habits, manners and customs; the Freemasonry which exists among them; as also numberless pathetic and humorous instances occurring among this vagabond fraternity.

It contains a most thrilling account of the Parisian Commune, and the work and results of the Commune and Internationale, in both Europe and America. It speaks plainly and honestly concerning the many Secret Labor Organizations of both Europe and America: showing their benefits as well as their disgraces.

It gives a full, complete and carefully prepared record of all the interesting events of those exciting days, with such other entertaining and reliable material as makes the Strikes, Communists, Tramps and Detectives the most interesting, and at the same time the most correct and valuable, book of like character ever issued.

Although a splendidly printed, bound and illustrated book, the price has been placed by Mr. PINKERTON and the Publishers at $1.50.

SPECIAL PATENT INJECTOR

FOR RUNNING LOCOMOTIVES BY.

VERY SIMPLE AND CONTROLLED BY ONE VALVE.

The EXPRESS and LOCAL FREIGHT trains on the Albany road have used them for three years instead of pumps.

They work with perfect success on the steepest grades and shortest curves, and the stream does not break. Having no adjustible cones nor packing, they are uniform and sure in their action.

They set above the running board, and the opening of one valve starts the Injector. They have fewer parts than any other Injector, and can be repaired by any mechanic. They will put water into the boiler at 210°. They work perfectly, hot or cold.

By closing the overflow, they can be made to heat water in the tank.

Little Giant Injector !!

The Great Boiler Feeder. The Best Locomotive
Injector in the World.

You can make it as HOT as steam can make it, and yet it will bring the water and go to work in two seconds. It should always be put above the running board, handy to the engineer, and any dirt may be taken out of it while the engine is running.

We guarantee it to out-work and out-run any other, and give less trouble.

One has been in daily use in Pennsylvania Railroad Shops for six years without any repairs. The Engineer on the express train from Philadelphia to Baltimore (which runs one hundred miles in one hundred and thirty minutes), uses the Injector instead of the pumps, and says he can run seventy miles without shutting off or touching the Injector. It feeds the water warmer, and you can make steam easier and more regular. We will send an Injector to any Superintendent or Master Mechanic, and if they desire it, will send a man to put it on. Try it for sixty days, give it the severest trial you can-now is the time to try them, in cold weather. If you desire to keep it you may do so by paying us list price for it-we make no charge for expenses for our man-or you may return it after trial. In ordering, No 7 are for large, No. 6 for medium and No. 5 for small locomotives. Always state whether for copper or iron pipes, and whether for locomotives or stationery boilers. Address

HELEN MORDAUNT'S RESOLVE.

BY R. A. ARMOUR.

N an elegantly furnished parlor of a brown-stone mansion, situated in the aristocratic suburbs of a populous city, sat a lovely girl, whose personal charms possessed the power of fascinating one with bewilderment. Her purely Grecian face, with regular features and exquisitely chiseled lips, would have been deemed worthy the study of the immortal Correggio, while the massive coils of silken tresses encircled her stately head as a crown of burnished gold.

But in these alone lay not the magnetic influence which pervaded her entire being, and held you at times in complete subjection to her will. It was the depth of those eyes, from whose intensity and variety of expression you could scarcely define their color, that the great secret lay-here was the diamond of priceless treasure-here the glittering index that tempts you to study every smile and every action, as a page shining forth with the clearly defined conceptions of a truthful and unprejudiced soul.

The only daughter of a merchant prince, whose immense wealth and unbounded popularity received the flattering homage of the most distinguished, it is not a matter of surprise that Helen Mordaunt had enjoyed all those advantages which are required to make her appear educated, refined and accomplished. Possessing intellectual abilities of a high order, combined with an appreciative regard for deep mental culture, she had labored diligently to gain her education by a thorough course of study and persevering research.

Arriving on the verge of womanhood, the gifted and beautiful daughter was introduced into society with the eclat usually attendant upon such occasions. Great was the consternation of manoeuvring mammas as Helen Mordaunt first "came out" at a grand evening party, dressed in a simple

white tarletan, without other ornaments than a pale blush rose that reveled amid the perpetual sunshine of her golden hair. The graceful simplicity of style added a charm to her matchless beauty, and she was readily acknowledged the reigning belle. During the following season many eager aspirants had contested the honors so easily gained by Helen, while each in turn was obliged to relinquish all pretensions, leaving her sole and undisputed sovereignty over the subjects of the social realm.

Doubtless one would think that a knowledge of this fact would impart a spirit of arrogant and haughty imperiousness, and a desire to trample upon the feelings of others with studied and inordinate contempt. On the contrary, she was possessed of those noble qualities which emanate from purity of soul-gentle deference and regard for the feelings of those, combined with a thoughtful disposition that was ever on the alert to administer to the requirements of those with whom she daily associated.

In continual acts of charity the destitute and needy found a sympathizing friend in Helen. Many were the prayers offered up for her in the abodes of poverty, by the sick and suffering whom she had tenderly cared for, while many aged and feeble mendicants murmured, "God bless you, young lady!" as they received the few coins remaining from an afternoon's shopping.

So gifted, gentle and lovable, it is almost unnecessary to add that Helen Mordaunt was sought by a numerous host of suitors who laid wealth, honor and distinction at her feet. Not wishing to violate the sanctity of her inmost feelings, she had rejected them all, resolving to form no attachment unless finding an object worthy of her deepest regard-one whose every impulse was actuated by principles of true manliness-one in whom were deeply rooted habits of sobriety, discretion and regularity, and in whom she could discern
