A BISHOP MISTAKEN FOR KU-hLUX.-
The Southern blacks, in their horror OF ku-
klux mysteries, are particularly fearful OF
graveyards They have always been superstl-
iious in this regard, but now they will not go
within mile of cemetery. An amusing story
j. told about Bishop Beckwith, of Georgia,
who had occasion, some time ago, to visit re-
mote portion of his diocese,
There were not many Episcopahans In that
.egion of Georgia, but few OF the whites had
ever seen q successor OF the Apostles and the
blacks did not know what. sort OF creature
Bishop was. 1t soon became noised about that
on certain evening the Bishop would arrive
and hold services In church OF certain village
of the above district and the whole neighbOr-
hood was filled with curiosity to go and see the
queer animal that read prayers out or book.
The negroes were especially excited, and they
determined to attend the church in mass. The
house of worship was not an Episcopal church;
consequently it had no vestry-room IN which
the Bishop could put on his vestments. This
difficulty was, however, remedied by some ones
suggesting that the bishop should robe himself
behind the church, and come round and enter
at the front door. So he sent friend with
his surplice, who placed it behind tombstone,
where it would be at hand when he should re-
quire it. Long before the time designated for
the opening services, the little church had be-
come filled with the whites of the vicinity, and
the negroes, finding that there was no room
ior them inside, stood packed before the door.
rhe bishop, at the appointed tiuie, entered
the graveyard by the back gate, went up to
The tombstone and donned his episcopal yes
lures. The wind was blowing rather fresh,
and just as he turned the corner of the church
flaw spread out his white robes. A negro
immediately bawled out, "Ku-Klux! ku.
Klux - They all looked around and beheld
the Haunting white garments approaching; the
whole crowd took to their heels, shriekiug
''Ku- Kluxr' In ten seconds not single dar-
key could be seen bat the sound of their foot
steps in the distance fell upon the ear, and tor
halt an hour afterward could be heard the ter
rbe words, "Ku- Klux |" "Ku-Klux far
of in the country, as the alright crowd were
making for their homes. .-E.rchaRge.

AN EQUITABLE VIEW OF A CAsE.-A few
years ago Mrs. Harrington(a IA handsome widow
Of sixteen) was tried for the murder OF her
husband, at the Delaware Oyer and Terminer,
before Judge Balcom. For the purpose OF es-
tatlishing her motive to kill her husband, the
district attorney proved that her husband was
,hirty. six years of age, and married her when
she was only fifteen years old, in Pennsylvania,
by falsely representing to her that he was
rich farmer of Delaware county, New York,
when he was an intemperate teamster there,
and that he abused her alter he brought her
to Delaware county. This evidence created
the strongest kind of sympathy for her 1t
became so strong on the third day of the trial
that one More met Judge Balcom as he was
going to dinner, and More with tears in his
eyes) beSought him to take an equitable view
of the case when he came to charge the jury ;
whereupon Judge Baldcom asked him what
he ment by an equitable view of the case and
More (cryiug) exclaimed, "rell the jury the
poor Girl did not kill her husband halt as quick
as she ought tor Aud it is supposed the
Jury took that view OF the case when they ac-
Quilted her.-Al6aay Journal.

LABoR.-No man or organization has th
r,ght to prevent any man from setting his own
priee upon his own labor, and working for
such wages as he chooses. Any effort to
prevent this exercise of individual right,
whether it be physical or moral force, is both
wrong and illegal. Those organizations which
seek to establish rates of wages and force every
man in the same trade to abide by them are
as great an infringement of individual right as
would be the attempt to compel men to work
for wages fixed by employers, Whenever or
ganizatons attempt to dictate the prices at
which men shall work, and enforce their edlcts
thew become criminal and injurious to every
interest. The law forbids any such interier-
ence with individual right; and as no man is is
permitted TO fix the price at which another sbal
labor, so no man or society should be permitted
to say that a man shall not work for just such
wages as he chooses. s.-Bat. Com.
