Byron's Freak at Cambridge.

There is an amusing nnecdote of Byron
current in the University, which do not re-
member to have seen in print. The roof Of
the library of Trinity College is surrounded
by three figures in stone representing Faith,
Hope and Charity. These figures are acces-
sible only from tho window of particular
room in Neville's court, which was occupied
by Byron during his residence at college
The adventurcr after getting out of his win
dow has to climb q perpendicular wall, sus-
tanning himself by q frail leaden spout. He
has then to traverse the soping roof of q long
range of buildings, by mooving carefully on
his hands and knees, at the iminent risk OF
being prccipitatcd fifty feet into the court be-
meath. When the library is gained, stone
parapet has to be crossed, bare glance at
which sends thrill through tho spectator
who suryeys'it from below. This feat Byron
performed one Sunday morning, while the
heads OF the dons and dgnitaries were yet
buried in their pillows. full of the foolishcst
Dreams He had distracted three SUPPLIES
from the college chapel which he bore with
him along tho dangerous route described =
When the bell ut eight o'clock rang out its
deep-toned summons to the usual morning
devotion, and tho fellows and undergradu-
ates hurried on their way to the chapel. they
were startled to behold Faith, Hope, and
Charity clad in SUPPLIES which reached IN
snowy folds to their feet, while their heads
were surmounted, helmet-wise, with bed
chamber water-ewers. An inquiry was in.
stituted by the indignant college authorities.
A few select friends knew. and tho rest of
the. college guessed, that Byron was the au.
thor of the outrage, but il was never brought
home to him. No undergraduate beholds
these statutes now withouta hearty laugh.

BROWN. THE MARTyR.-The following let
ter from Spencer Kellogg Brown was writ.
ten but few days previous to his eNecu-
zion by the rebels:
CASTLE THUNDER, Va, Sept. %, 1868.
DEAR FATHER BY permission and
am enabled to write you a few lines
You, who ere this have heard from me in
regard to my situation here, can. trust
bear it when tell you that my days on
earth are soon ended. Last Saturday
was court martialed, and this evening, q
short time since, received notice of my
sentence, by Capt. Alexander, who has
since shown me every kindness consistent
with his duty.
Writing to my dear parents, feel there
can be no more comfort after such tidings
than to tell you that Ifrust,sby the mercy
OF our Heavenly Father, to die the death
OF Christian. For more than a year,
since the commencement of my confine-
ment, have been trying to serve Him ia
my poor feeble way. and I do not fear to
go to Him. would love to see you all
again; God saw best not-why should we
mourn? Comfort your hearts, my dear
parents, by thoughts Of Gods mercy unto
your son, and bow with reverence be-
meath the hand Of Him "who doeth all
things WELL" I have but little business
to attend to. Yourself or Uncle CoEzens at
st. Louis, will please draw my pay from
the Government and invest it in United
States bonds at present, the interest of
which viii be paid semi annually to my
wife. "
I sent my ring to my wife by clergy
man, Monday last; / also sent a telegram
to yourself, which fear, will arrive too
late, as the time of my execution is set for
day after to-morrow-Friday, September
18th. l will try to send short let
ter to my wife accompanying this.
Capt. Alexander, commandant of the
prison, deserves your respect and grateful
remembrance for his kindness to your son
in his last hours.
DEAR PARENTs-There are but few
more moments left me. I will try to think
often of you. God bless and comfort you
remember me kindly and respectfully to
all my dear friends and relatives. Tell
Kitty hope to meet her again. Take care
of Freddy for me; put him often in re-
membrance Of me.
DEAR MoTHER-Good bye. God COM
fort you, my mother, and bless you with
the love of happy children, Farewell my
father; we meet again by Gods mercy.

CAPITAL AGAINST LABOR.-In the usual
conditions of life, the interests of capital
and labor are believed to be generally the
same. Capital is dependent upon labor
and labor derives employment from the
enterprising and investments of capital
But there is one kind of capital that comes
III direct competition with labor. That is
capital in slaves. This puts slave labor in
antagonism to free labor, and free labor
has to go TO the wall. The laboring man
who requires wages or the avails of his
products, has to compete with the capital
list who owns labores. The laboring man
must take up with what the owner of un-
paid labor leaves, and he must sell his pro-
ducts in the market in competition with
the products Of slave labor.
The disadvantages of the free laboring in
habitants against capital which owns the
the laborers, are such that capital in slaves
monOpolizes all the most productive and
desirable kinds oflabor. Free laborers have
to be content with the refuse. Capital in
anything else could not make this contest.
A contest in which labor was all on one
side, and capital all on the other, would be
fatal to capital, if such conflict were pos
sible. But when capital owns laborers
the two are combined in antagonism to ali
other labor, and this combination is too
strong for free iabor.s
The three hundred thousand capitalists,
with a capital of four millions OF slaves.
and with all the accumulation Of the prof
its of this capital and this monopoly. all
combined in the one purpose of maintain.
ing their monopoly, are too strong for free
labor without capital. Thus capital and
labor are placed in antagonism, and labor
is placed under. The majority Of the white
people of the South find combined against
them all the capital, monopolizing the
profitable production, and owning the La
Dor to carry it on. It is as if all our cap
italists should import from Africa slaves
enough to carry on all the great branches
of industry in the North, leaving the free
laborers to shift as they could land to work
In competition with labor which received
no wages and but the coarsest subsistence.
The only difference is that here paid la
borers would be displaced from employ
lment, while in the planting States they
have always been excluded.
That such power of capital should
usurp political power, is only in the natu-
raj succession. 1t has established gov
erning class founded solely on capital,
which is in interest hostile to labor. This
capital is asserted and recognized as the
divine right to rule, and the political rights
OF the people are held subject to it. The
laboring people find capital fortified by
PROPERTY In men, at war with their sub
sistence and depriying them Of political
LIBERTIES. 1t is the irrepressible conflict be-
'ween capital and labor, with labor over.

THREAT OF CIVIL WAR BY a CANDIDATE
ON THE STATE TICKET.-The Logan Coun-
ty Gazette, one Of the most infamous sheets
in the State, is edited by William Hubbard,
Democratic candidate for Auditor OF State.
The following is one of the editorials pub
lished in his paper last week:
"A SUGGESTION IN TIME.-The result of
the election May depend on the Soldiers
cote, and the indications are numerous that
the Soldiers cote will be mass of fraud and
perjury, WHICH MUST NOT BE SUB
"A CONVENTION SHOULD BE CAL
LED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE RE-
SUIT IS KNOWN, TO CONSIDER
WHAT ULTERIOR MEASURES TO
ADOPT IN CASE THE COURTS SHALL
WITHHOLD REDRESS ......f
Now, we suppose there are few men in
Ohio so foolish as not to know exactly what
this means. The language is not to be
mistaken by any one having understand
ing. 1t is a declaration that the soldiers
vote, whether declared constitutional by
the courts or not, must not be submitted
to; and that if the courts do not decide in
the matter according to the wishes of the
Democratic party, anterior measures are to
be taker-that is, the Democracy would get
up a civil war in Ohio to prevent the COUNT
ing of the soldiers vote.
These are the scoundrels who issued an
ADDRESS to the soldiers claiming that the
soldiers voting law was q Democratic
measure. They intended all the while to
contest the legality of the vote in the courts,
and now one of the leaders let's out the pro-
position to 60 behind the courts and take
"ulterior measures" Mr.. William Hub
bard, Democratic candidate for Auditor of
State, and editor of the Logan Gazette, is
probably fool, and will be most particu-
larly cursed as such, by all his party all
over the State. He was unable to contain
himself until after the election. 1t was the
intention to keep still on that point until
the latter part of this week. His paper has
been distinguished during the war for fl
thy articles about the soldiers, some of them
dirtier even than we have been accustom-
ed to see in the Richmond papers.-Cn.

increasing in size and attractions. Built
on horseshoe, formed by a remarkable
bend in the river Aar, the space originally
intended for the city is filled, but many

virons. The completion OF the railroad
connecting it with the lake of Geneva at
