A Letter of CarIyle's on Capital and
 Labor,

The following unpublished letter from MT. Carlyle to Sir J. Whitworth, regarding the announcement made some months ago of the latter's inten- tion to supplement the savings of his work people by bonus upon them, was read by the Hon. and Rev. w. H. Lyttelton, at 8 meeting of the Stour- bridge School of Art l.:
 "I have heard of your offer on behalf of the thrifty work people of Darley, and of the thankful acceptance of it by the district authorities of the place. I cannot resist the highly unwonted de- sire that has risen in me to say that I highly approve and applaud the ideas you have on the subject, and to declare in words that in my opinion nothing wiser, more benefc1ent, or worthy of your distinguished place as master of workers has come before me for many 8 year. Would to heaven that all or many of the captains of industry in England had 8 soul in them such as yours, and could do as you have done, or could still further cooperate with you in works and plans to the like effect. The look of England is to me at this moment abundantly ominous. The question of capital and labor grow ing ever more anarchic, insoluble alto gether by the notions hitherto applied to it, is pretty certain to issue in petro- leum one day, unless some other gos- pei than that of the Dismal Science , come to illuminate it. Two things are pretty sure to me. The first is, that capital and labor never can or will agree together, till they both first of all de- eide on doing their work faithfully throughout, and like men of conscience and honor, whose highest aim is to be- have like faithful citizens of this uni verse, and obey the eternal command ment of the Almighty God, who made them. The second thing is, that sad der object than either that of the coal strike, or any conceivable strike, is the fact that. loosely speaking, all England has decided that the proftablest way is to do it's work ill, slimly, swiftly, and mendaciously. What a contrast be- tween now and, say, only a hundred years ago! Atthat latter date, or still more conspicuously for ages before that, all England awoke to its work with an invocation to the Eternal Maker to bless them in their days labor, and help them to do it we'll. Now, all Eng land, shopkeepers, workmen, all man ner of competing laborers awaken, as if with an unspoken, but heartfelt prayer to Beelzebub "Oh, help us, thou great lord of shoddy, adulteration, and malfeasance, to do our work with a maximum of slimness, swiftness, profit, and mendacity, for the Devils sake, Amen ?"

day the good old lady has not ceased to gossip about the magnificent trous- seau the br1de had, and the quiet hap piness that shone in the eyes of the young couple.
 It had been decided that the bridal tour should be to Europe, as Clarence Ainslie said that business would call him there soon and MT. and Mrs. Lightfoot had been persuaded to &C., company them :; so the day after the wedding the steamer bore very happy quartette from our shores.
 Arriving safely in England, few days were passed quietly at the hotel, and then, by an invitation from Clar- ence Ainslie, the party started out to visit the spot where he passed his boy hoods days.
 Through meadow lands and lovely country the carriage drove, until sud- wheeled into grand gateway leading to the superb country seat of some man of wealth.
 A few moments more, and the car riage drew up before the marble steps of an elegant mansion-one of those old rambling structures found in England and springing lightly to the ground, the Englishman said, while merry light twinkled in his eyes:
 "Leone, welcome you to your home. MT. and Mrs. Lightfoot, Lord Clarence Ainslie begs that you will accept the hospitality of Ainslie Castle.
 Tears filed the beautiful eyes of Leone. Arthur Lightfoot's cheeks col ored, but he was silent, while, after 8 seconds hesitation, his wife exclaimed:
 '' Clarence Ainslie, you are cheat. Why, I thought you were Western farmer
 "That was all the land I owned in America. purchased it and built shooting-box thereon, because I was fond of your Western sport, and in America I was simply MT. Ainslie but here am Lord Clarence of Ainslie Cas- tie. Am forgiven ?" --
 Reader, we all have too much human nature now days to for a moment SUD- pose the deception practiced was not pardoned by one and all; in fact, Mrs. Lightfoot says she likes to be deceived, and in this case Arthur echoes the opinion of his wife.

5. AN EARNEST FARMER. philosophi- cal clerk, being out of job, took up with an offer from farmer. The first night on the farm he slept so soundly that the call before daybreak, with sub sequent rappings on his door, failed to arouse him. About 10 o'clock he came lounging down stairs, when the dis gusted farmer sarcastically inquired: "Won't you have a glass of wine2" ''No, thank you," was the yawning re- ply; "I never take anything early in the day." The agrioulturist tainted.

Lynch Law InI Iowa

CHICAGO, December ia special dis.
patch from Demoines, Iowa, says that this
morning about hsli-past 9 o'clock body
ot one hundred and fifty men. disguised
entered the jsil, knocked down the TAILOR
bound him hand and foot, took the KEYS
to the cells from his pocket, overpowered
the guards, and entered the cell where
Charles Howard, the murderer OF
johnson, who was yesterday sentenced
to Imprisonment lor lite, was cOudned
His wife, who was sleeping with
him clung to him ,uttering horrible ghrieks
and 1t was only with the force OF halt
dozen men that Howard was dragged
from his bed. A rope was placed abou,
his neck and he was dragged through the
halls and the court house yard to a lamp
post and hung. All the men had their
faces blsckened, and were divided into
squads, each doing its allotted work with.
out a word spoken. After Howard
had been fastened 10 a post the mob
departed as silently as they came. 1t is
supposed that the work was done by
members o(the vigilant committee in this
county, who have been recently holding
meetings, and on Saturday when the Jury
came in with their verdict several were
seated near the prisoner.

titled at Arnin's trial yesterday that In
consequence of being informed BY Lands.

The =. W. II Ky. Road.

A mass meeting was held at Wellsburg
last Saturday in the interest OF this road,
the purpose being 10 elicit such an Gx-
preston Of popular sentiment as would
warrant the County Court in submitting
to a vote ofthe people at an early day the
question Of the county assuming her por-
ton Of tho remaining Indebtedness OF the
road, Ohio county agreeing to assume her
shareO and thus setting at rest the agIta-
ton about sale Of the road TO satisfy
some $4,000 Of debt. The general feel.
ing was in favor Of saving the road, 80
much so that the County Court yesterday
passed an order submitting the question TO
d vote OF the people on the 23d day O.!
January next. The order comprehends
two questions, viz: delegating the neces.
sary power to the County Court to trans.
fer Brooke county's interest in the road
whenever satisfactory guarantee Of its
completion can be given by some party
or corporation willing to undertake it, and
voting $4,000 as Brooke county's share oI
the debt still outstanding against the road
It is believed that the people will vote
the necessary power to the County Court
aud also IN favor Of assuming the $4,000.

Of new theory on the subject will, doubt.
less, be hailed with satisfaction by both.
We lear, however, that It's author, Mr.. A.
Hoyle Lester, has not succeeded in pro-
vidinG standing.ground for either, much
less ior both. He consumes some hundreds
Of pages in the endeavor TO show that
Eve was the first white woman, and that
the serpent who tempted her was o negro,
. member Of some pre-Adamite race.
This idea knocks too many holes In the
doctrine OF the fall Of man and similar
tenCts to be acceptable to the theological
mind, while the extreme tenuity OF the
argument for It will not recommend It to
the scientist. II Is not likely that an
event Of such slight import would be re-
corded in the sacred books of the He
brews. Ii the story oI the Temptation Of
Eve is myth, It, perhaps, refers to some
astronomical phenomenon, but We must
leave Prof John Fiske to tell the world
which ono. lfitis not myth it may be
a poets imagining Of the origin Of evil.
Neither science nor religion needs to ex-
plain It in order TO maintain the ground
each has already taken. The TACT will
mitigate our grief that It's truth or false
hood can never be certainly known,

A question having been raised in regard
to the Item for Capitol police, MIR. Garfield
stated that In view Of the political change
which would take place ID the organize
ton OF the House OF the next Congress the
Committee on Appropriations regarded II
as somewhat indecOrous 10 inauguratO
changes which would mainly refer to the
next House.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Indiana, did not wish
TO recognize the fact that because there
was to be a change in the majority Of the
House there should not therefore be o
dlminulion OF expenses, II such diminu.
lion was proper in itself.
Mr. Garfield agreed with that sugges.
tlon, but still thought 1t u matter oil
courtesy towards those who would soon
have the burden Of responsibility thrown
on them to let them make their own re-
ductons.
Mr. Wilson would make all proper re.
ductlons and let the other side, when II
