9 SHEPHERDSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATUR

A REMARKABLE LEcrURE-Probably
no friend of the colored race ever spoke
more stronger in their behalf than did
General Roger A. Pryor, in lecture
delivered in Brooklyn, on Tuesday last.
A faithful Abolitionist of the earlier
days of the struggle against slavery
could not have been more enthusiastic
in their defense or more fattering in
his prophecies of their future. Of the
past of the colored man he said: "The
history of his race is one long, sad story
of lamentation and woe, of misery and
oppression )" but she is gradually max
ing himself competent to the highest
achievement of civilization" Ard
again, "His virtues are his own his
vices are the result of the untoward cir
cumstances that have surrounded him."
General Pryor contradicted the CON-
mon notion that the race is dying out.
II increased twenty per cent. between
1860 and 1870. The negroes are devel-
oping the resources of the country, and
doing better as freemen than as slaves.
The voluntary laborers of 1872 sent to
market more cotton by 100000 bales
than the slaves of 1860. And they are
improving in morality and education.
s.To be sure" said General Pryor, "the
system of slavery was not the best
school in which to learn the science OF
government, but we have not yet heard
that negro Congressman was in any
way implicated in the Credit Mobilier
scandal, and / do not believe that the
negro Legislature of South Carolina
was any more purchasable than the
New York Assembly during the days
of the Ring What the negro wants is
a chance TO advance with the rest of
mankind. In the North the theatres,
the hotels, even the churches are closed
to him, and when he dies, prejudice ac-
tually defies the equality OF the grave
and forbids that his bones shall desc
crate the sanctity of Greenwood and
Woodland and Laurel Hill"
General Pryor anticipated that there
would be gradual movement of the
race Southwark, until the extreme
Southern States would become their
home, that there they would increase to
tie number of ten millions in half cen
tury, and that they will bring to the
Councils of the nation patriotism, intel
ligence and probity. 1t is remarka-
bic instance of the changes which time
works, that an ultra Southerner should
become the defender and advocate of
the negro before Northern audience.

NOVEL TEMPERANCE CRUsADE.-A
dispatch from Fredonia, New York,
gives the following account OF grand
rally for Temperance in that place that
has created much excitement We take
no stock in the result, as we have little
faith in reforms, religious or temper
ance, that are subject to fits and starts,
and generally die out as they rise.
Temperance brought about gradually by
careful seaching and training will stand
when others fail, the trouble being,
however, to make such a sentiment uni
versal in community. The dispatch
alluded to says:
Our quiet village has been thrown
into a high state Of excitement for a
few days past by novel crusade against
the liquor selling interests. Dr. Dio
Lewis, of whom all your readers have
doubtless heard much in the last ten
years, lectured here on temperance on
last Friday night, and on Sunday spoke
from some of our pulpits on the same
subject. He preached new gospel OF
temperance, and on Monday the women
of the place met and organized for their
campaign.
Their husbands, fathers and brothers
very generally seconded their plan, and
pledges of assistance by pro rata as
sessment on 100000 was secured, to
provide what funds might be required.
1t is not probable much will be needed.
To-day about $50 of the newl organic
ed society, ladies, met and proceeded to
a liquor saloon, entered, at least as
many as could, and appealed to the pro-
prietcr to close his traffic.
One offers prayer, another exhorts,
and all join in singing. They are not
chilled by rebutfs or disheartened by
indifference. After appealing to ore
saloon in this way they go to another,
and so one through the whole list, hotel
keepers, druggists and all. And they
are going to keep it up till the liquor
selling is done for, or it is demonstrated
that the plan is not effectual. Public
sentiment is in their favor.
To show you who these crusaders are
I will mention that Mrs. Judge Baker is
one of the foremost The chief spokes-
woman is Mrs. Tremaine. Her great
taste is prayer. Those who have heard
her offer prayerin the saloon today are
astonished at the great gift she possess
es in this direction. What will he the
outcome is the question on every lip.

NARROW ESCAPE OF A CHILD.-Some
Missouri papers give long accounts OF
the narrow escape of a little girl thlr-
teen years of age from being buried
alive at st. Joseph. She apparently
died, and after lying thirty hours in Il
coffin, was taken out for burial. On
the way to the cemetery, the st. Joseph
Herald asserts, the quick ear of the sad
idehed mother caught the echo of a IA
smiliar cry, and she gave expression to
her suspicion that it came from the cof-
FIN of her child. Her suspicion was
overruled, but in few moments a sec
ond cry was heard, and in compliance
with the wishes of the mother the hearse
was stopped and the coffin drawn out.
The struggles of what was supposed to
be the lifeless body could now be plain
" heard. The coffin was quickly open
ed, and the child found to be alive, to
the amazement and unspeakable delight
of her parents. In her struggles she
had nearly torn from herself her death
robes. She was quickly taken from the
coffin and carried into the house OF q
French lady at hand, where they bathed
her in vinegar. She recovered her
strength rapidly, and in short time
was taken to the home which she had
left only few hours before an apparent
corpse. Since that time she has been
as we'll as for the last few months.

ACc1pENT.-Mr. Solomon Hess and
his son were engaged in saving wood
on the farm of Mr.. Michael Pitzer, near
Arden, last Saturday. 1t appears that
the tree on which they were at work
was forked, and one Of the forks rested
off the ground with the other standing
up. Mr.. Hess and his son were saving
off the lower fork, when the upper one
turned over and caught the boy, crush
ing him to the ground, breaking his leg
and otherwise seriously bruislng HIM.
He was taken to the house OF MIR. Pitz-
er, and DIR. L. Sencindiver, of Darkes-
vile, called in, who set the broken limb
and rendered medical assistance.-Mdr-
tinsburg Independent, Dec. 27.

WHAT SrKEs Cost. 1t is common enough
to hear arguments in favor of the principle OF
strikes, but those who advance such arguments
really possess no adequate conception OF toe
cost of such proceedings A recently publish
ed work on Political Economy gives some hg-
ures in this connection which afford tood LOT
reflection. Thus it is recorded that IN lo29
the Manchester cotton spinners struck, and
lost 81, 25O, 900 before they resumed labor In
the following year the spin ners at Ashton and
S:aley Bridge followed suit, aud lost another
$3.50, 900. 10 1888 the Manchester builders
lost 1850, 900 BY strike.
In 1886 the Preston operatives lost 1886, 600,
In 1854 the same men, Ii, 900 in numb Der, sat
down idle for thrty-six weeks, and their losses
amounted to s2,l00000. The last serious
strike was that OF the Belfast linen WeaVers'
recently terminated by the Intervention OF the
British Association, and that cost 81 ,ooO, 0o0.
la reviewing these fact it is perfectly evident
that, even if all of these strikes had been sue
ccssful, the men could not possibly have re,
gained the capital lost in striking. The moral
is that strikes cut two ways upon the strikers,
AID only one way upon the employers, aud
therefore the contest is hopelessly unequal, and
mast always be so.
