Resolutions of the Labor League.

The labor league at Washington held a
meeting on the oath inst. which was large
ly attended, and which seems to have been
under the direction and guidance of men
who had realizing sense of the dangers
and responsibilities of the hour.
We present our readers with some of
the resolutions passed which have a direct
bearing upon the present exciting condi-
ton of labor:
Resolved, That we reiterate our recent
expressions in the present lamentable dis
turbances, aud assert that all movements
which tend to strikes tend to riot, and that
riot and lawlessness in the republic are
criminal blunders, which, while they may
momentarily triumph IN fire, plllage, and
bloodshed, can only end in the complete
subjugation of the rioters and the lawless.
Resolved, That, in a republic where the
majority rules, the ballot is mlghtler than
the bullet, and legal common sense agita-
ton more potent in vindicating the rights
Of labor than the brutal mutterings of ex-
citable and ignorant unions, which look up
on all law as oppression, and all law-abiding
citizens as friends of monopoly, and that
every strike which leads to violence and
| bloodsbed sets the cause of labor back and
gives monopoly new lease of power, be-
cause wise people look upon anarchy as
the greatest of all evils, and, if men have
to choose between law with monopoly anC
labor with anarchy, they will choose The
former.
ResolUed. That, 10 case of actual neces-
sity, we hereby tender to the pres ldent o.
the United States sufficient amount o.
men from the labor leagus of the Distric
of Columbia to quell any disturbance tina
may arise here, protect property, anC
strengthen the hands Of the executive il
enforcing obedience to the laws Of the onl.
free government in the world.

ROCK rslana 20 the Rescue.

Major Beardsley, of Rock Island, Is in
Chicago. Most of our readers will remem-
Der Major Beardsley. for the major claims
the proud distinction of bringing to the
surface Eliza Pinkston, of New Orleans
notor1ety. Some of our readers, who pos
sibly did not preserve and frame the
wood-cut photographs of the illustrious
personages which appeared in Hdrper's
Weekly during the days of the impending
electoral commission, may. possibly have
forgotten that Major Beardsley was in New
Orleans, and was one of Eliza's chief
nurses-but such is the fact. The major
is one of those who do not thirst for no.
toriety-but some say he is never so happy
as when his name figures in the papers,
| He has been gloomy and respondent since
the Pinkston show busted, and has waited
patiently for something to turn up,-some-
thing stirring in which he could once again
distinguish himself-for Eliza was not
winning card-as it turned out. The
troubles in Chicago have furnished it.
The major, being there. sees his oppor-
tunity, and hurries to seize it. The old
military fire is still in his heart, and now
the opportunity is offered TO once more
don his sword and belt, and lead his men
to hew down mobs or die. A telegram
was received from him in Rock Island to-
day to send -four guns and sixty or sew
enty men of the Rock Island battery by
special train to Chicago, as soon as posi-
bic, and says, the telegram-"send my
sword and beltI" The party receiving
kilograms, J. M. Beardsley, 2d,-imme-
diately communicated the order of the
major commanding to the men, and they
hustled around and got the artilleryists
together; made arrangements for special
train to leave this afternoon, and ere this
is read, are, we presume, going 60 strong,
as fast as steam Can carry them, to report
to Major Beardsley in the mob-stricken
city of Chicago. We shall anxiously await
reports of the first engagement with the
mob of these -four guns and 60 or 70
men, with the major at their head armed
with his sword and belt, y Davenport

A PcrilOuS Ceremony.

FIVE converts were baptized in the
Schuylkill, near Green Tree, ON Sunday
last. by the Rev. Jacob Gotwals, Dunkari
minister at the Green Tree Church. At
the point where the ceremony was per-
formed, the current in the river runs SO
swiftly that no ice has formed. The water,
as may we'll he imagined, was extremely
cold, and there came near being a serious
accident. The Dunkard ceremonial diff
fers in some respects from that of the Bap-
fists. The convert enters a comparative
ly shallow portion of the water, and
knecls down. He or she IS dipped three
timcs-being immersed once in the name
of the Father, once in the name Of the
Son, and once in the name If the Holy
Ghost. After each immersion the convert
is given time TO recover his breath, SO
that the whole process is of some du-
ration. One of the nOvitlates in this case
was lady who is not light weight.
When she entered the water the current
was 50 strong that it took her off her
feet. Mr.. Gotwals is not very strong,
and was thoroughly chilled, and. when
he caught her, he, too, was carried away.
A thrill of horror ran through the crowd
as the pastor and the lady were about to
be swept swiftly under the solid ice. Two
gentlemen on the bank plunged boldly in,
caught them and saved them from their
peril. Another lady, when she emerged
from the water. came near fainting from
the cold and exposure.-Nosvistown (Pa.)

pecially to actors; together with q hun.
dred other kinds which we will not now
attempt to enumerate. But this peculiar
talent for getting on in life, is not any
one of these mentioned, but is rather q
mixture of little of each and all of them.
The man who possesses this talent is
the man who generally succeeds in what
ever business or work he takes hold of.
If he makes mistake, to which he Is as
liable as most men, he somehow RECEIVERS
himself, gets on his feet again and goes
ahead. He is one who knows men pretty
we'll, and knows how to take advantage
of circumstances; not in q dishonest way,
but in way that turns out to his profit
and the furtherance of his projects. If he
makes change in his business he is sure
not to lose anything by it; and so in one
way or another. the years, as they roll,
push him and his fortunes ever onward.
In a word, he is getting on in life.
There are often men of greater talent
living by the side of him who thus gets on
in the world, but there is hidden screw
loose somewhere in their organization.
They can't succeed they don't get on.
They are continually being involved in
unlucky enterprises; their plans and cal
culations miscarry; they fail to make
matters ego" they are equally indus
trious, equally careful and prudent, equal
ly honorable and upright, equally shrewd,
perhaps, in some matters, but yet the all.
important fact remains, they don't, and
apparently can't, get on in the world.
We confess to most profound respect
for this man who does get on in life. He
has something in him which is very val.
liable; something which no amount of
money can buy, which no amount of art
or industry can completely fathom OF
compass. tits, essentially, a unique gift;
capable of cultivation, perhaps, to . lin
tied extent; but still, after all, an Unborn
heritage, happy birthright, . glorious
endowment. Strive for this ability to get
ON in the world. prairie Farmer.

SelfDe Degradation.

Nothing hurts man more than to seem
small and ignoble in his own eyes. 1t is
a slavish feeling that degrades the shaved.
A base ambition makes the man that cher
ishes it base. No one can debase you but
yourself. SANDER, satire. falseho0d, in
iustice-these can never rob you of your
manhood. Men may lie about you, they
may denounce you, they may cherish sus-
picions manifold, they may make your
failings the target of their wit or cruelty:
never be alarmed; never swerve an inch
from the line your judgment and con-
science have marked out for you. They
cannot by all their efforts take away your
knowledge of yourself, the purity Of your
motives, the integrity of your character,
and the generosity of your nature. While
these are left, you are, in point of fact,
unframed. Nothing outside yourself can
ever make you smaller than you are TO-
day. If you shall dwindle; If 1canDess
and inability shall come to any faculty
if you shall lose what makes you an or
nament to that rank and order of intelli-
gence to which you were born-the loss
will be sell. inflicted one. Self-degra-
dation is the only degradation man can
know.-Golden R.ale.
