ABoLITIoNIsM ABRoAD.-The latest arrival

proceedings in Scotland concerning slavery
in America. Abolition emissaries from this
side of the water are appealing tor sympa-
thy and material aid, to the people of Great
Britain Fred. Douslass is vindicating the
memory of John Brown, and holding him up
to the admiration Of his audience az hero
and saint, on substantially the same
grounds as are taden by Phillips and his
colaborers here. At Edinburg a public
meeting has been held to take into consider
ration DR. Cheever's case, and to devise
ways and means for enabling him to COM
tinue to "bear testimony against slavery in

The MASSACRE OF THE WHITE SLAVES AT
LAwRRRCE,-As fact after fact connected
with the Lawrence massacre is developed,
the conviction becomes still stronger upon
the mind that the responsibility Of the calam,
ity-the blood, the tears, the groans, the
agoDies Of the victims-must rest solely and
entirely upon the wealthy capitalists who
built and owned the mill, and attempted to
patch it up in the penny-wise and pound
foolish manner for which Massachusetts
manufacturers have been notorious any time
these twenty five years back 1t appears
distinctly from the evidence, that the walls
were too thin, that the foundations were in
secure, and that the general weakness of
the building was so far understood in Law
renee that many operatives refused to work
in the mill at all, while some who had been
employed there gave up their places
through fear Of their lives. One Of the
owners of the mill testi6es that he did
not know it was insecure, and that it
was the intention of the company to make
it as strong as possible, He is obliged to
confess, however, that the weight of the
machinery was too much concentrated and
from his statement it would seem that the
accident might have been caused by diff.
ference of quarter of cent a pound in
iron, The conviction that the white slaves
of Lawrence were massacred in carrying
out system which was supposed to be the
most effective in enrlching the fine old Bof-
ton gentlemen who furnish the Sharp's rifles
for the extension of their delightful institu-
tions, including free white labor in the Ter.
ritories, and who helped John Brown in his
work" is quite irresistible And so, while
the white slaves at Lawrence are mourning
over their kith and kin, slain by their philan>
thropic masters, the black chattels of the
South are making merry with their holiday
festivities In the name of truth and COM
mon sense which position, that of the cotton
picker in Georgia, or the cotton weaver in
Massachusetts,, is the preferable one.-[N.
Y. Herald.

Mrs, LYDIA CHILDs NOT THERB.-The
Worcester Bay State says; "Some hundreds
of people lie bleeding, crushed, dying, in
the market places and under the roof of the
City Hall at Lawrence. Writhing in tort
ture, they need the kind Offices of that sex
which has been vouchsafed to soothe our
hours of anguish. Why is ii, then, that we
do not hear Of the presence Of Lydia Maria
Child at this scene of woe2 1t is true that
she would find no horse thieves there upon
whom to lavish her maternal fondness.
Nor could she clasp in her Chaste, sisterly
embrace the cold-blooded murderers of gray
haired and defenseless men"

A MONsTER.-In Indiana, Pennsylvania,
last week, demon in human form, named
Stuchel, was on trial for cruelty to his son,
boy eight years Of age, in which the evi.
dence developed such systematic brutality
as we have never before heard Of 1t was
shown that he at one time suspended the
boy by his thumb from a rafter compelled a
younger brother to kindle a FIRE under him,
and kept him in this position until terribly
burnt Again he laid him upon a heated
stove, and afterwards compelled him to stand
barefoOted upon it. The child was in
Court, and exhibited on his person the evil
dence of this in human treatment.

Of the repeated predictions to the contrary,
that the leading lanies of Paris evince no
symptoms of any intention to discard either
their crinoline or steel hoops. The newest
ball dresses are covered with masses of
elaborate trimming, which have the effect
of augmenting even the magnitude of their
actual dimensions. Skirts, multiplied one
over another are ornamented with immense
boquets. Velvet or cloth are the only mater
rials employed for winter cloaks. In Paris,
gold or silver lace is much in request for
ball dresses

New Coal DISCOVERIES learn from
the Rockford, Ind, Democrat, that a mag
nifceut vein of coal has been discovered on a
farm about three miles west of that village.
The vein is from three to three feet and a
half thick, and the quality Of the coal is
claimed to equal that of the Pittsburg mines
The same paper says another vein, being siI
feet thick of pure coal, has been found about
three miles and half southwest of that
town. This vein is only fifty feet below the
surface of the ground, and can be mined
with very little difficulty.
