Emancipation Labor Lost.

The abolition party, after a struggle OF
over forty years, succeeded in rnnncfpat-
ing the negro. Beneath the cloak of their
iesuitical Puritanism, their mock philan-
thrupy, aud their hypocritical humanita-
rianisln, they sought the destruction of the
commerce of the southern States by rman-
cipatiug the negro, in order to obtain and

Rapid Talking.

The three principal official shorthand
writers of the German Reichstag, Drs.
Zeibig, Weiss, and Rotzsch, were pre-
sent lately at meeting of the Royal
Saxon Stenographic Institute. In the
course of the proceedings these gentle.
men said that during the late session OF
the Reichstag !" the impassioned tone in
which especially the tariff and financial
debates were carried on had increased
the rapidity of speech to degree which
was hitherto without precedent;
Speeches spoken at the rate of $50 to 200
words minute were not unusual while
speeches at the rate of l50 words q
minute were of only ordinary occur
rence." In order to appreciate this we
must bear in mind that 900 words in an
average German Parliamentary speech
are equivalent in length to at least 800
English words.

A Gypsy Wedding. :

There was a gypsy wedding ina pro-
bate court in Columbus, Ohio, the other
day. Two men, five women and three
children belonging to the band of wan
derers presented themselves at the court
and asked for a license. The bride wore
pink muslin dress slightly en- train,
with shawl of many colors, and COM
mon black straw hat. Her hair was
straight and jet black, and on her fingers
were two brass rings One of her sisters
wore white satin shawl and another a
silk dress, and. both giggled immoder-
ately. A minister who happened to be
serving on jury was sent for and the
ceremony was performed. A jollier
crowd never attended wedding.
s'Mhat's the damage? asked the hus-
band, putting his hand in his pocket.
Anything you want to give" replied
his male gypsy companion. The preacher
received a respectable fee. A vicious
young gypsy in white dress. red woolen
jacket and garden hat covered with
white gauze, jumped up and congratu-
lated the bride, when her companions
followed her example. Then the we'd
ding stramp began.

Aiding ireiand's Sufferers.

Owing to the extreme want now prevailing
in Ireland among the poor of that nation a
general feeling of sympathy is .pervading all
classes in America. In their behalf the busi-
ness men of Cincinnati have held a meeting and
adopted resolutions with the object of render
ing material aid to their immediate wants.
During the meeting, Lewis Seasongood called
out to call on him for ton of meat. Julius
Refs said to call on him for best 200 pounds
meat. Speeches were made by Geo. H. Pendle-
ton, Ben. Butterworth, Judge Fitzgerald and
others. Letters of regret were read from Hon.
Stanley Mathews, Hon. Thos. L. Young, aud
other prominent men to whom invitations had
been extended. The following resolutions
were read and adopted:
WHEREAS, Authentic information has reached
this city that great distress now exists in sew
eral districts of ireland caused mainly by the
failure of the crops and the oppressive system of
land tenure and al
WHEREAS, The citizens of this Republic
sympathize with those of all nations who,
through any cause, are suffering for want
of the proper necessaries of life therefore
be it
Resolved, That this meeting deeply SYM
pathize with the people of Ireland in their
present distress, and we hereby pledge our
selves to render them all the assistance in our
power.
Resolved, That we also recognize the fact
that the present distress is owing to no want
of industry on their part, nor of fertility in
the soil, but mainly to the oppressive and un-
just land laws which deprive the people of the
well-earned fruits of their honest toll.
Resolved, That as citizens of this Republic,
sympathizers with suffering and friends of
freedom in every land, we hereby extend to
the Irish people our warmest wishes for the
success of their efforts to obtain for themselves
more equitable laws and especially for the right
of elf-government. . =.
Resolved, That the President, Vice-Presi-
dents, Secretaries and Treasurer Of this meet
ing are constituted a Collecting Committee,
who are alone authorized to solicit aid.
Resolved, That owing to the probable diff
Guilty of obtaining free transportation for all
kinds of provisions direct to ireland, without

are hereby requested for the present to confine
their donations to money, -four and cured
meats.

A Perilous Adventure.
From the Troy Fress.J
Ever since the present railroad.

Ever since the present railroad bridge
was constructed across the river at Cohoes
people have persisted in crossing it, not
withstanding the great danger to he. ap-
prehcnded from approaching trains.
There IS no room by the side of the track
for people to stand on, and in case of be-
ing caught on the bridge the only safety
lies in dropping down between the ties
and hanging suspended over the river
that flows fifty. feet beneath. There are
few who, after undergoing the ordeal of
SO hanging until a train passes, would
have nervous force enough left to draw
themselves up to safety, and a disaster is
almost certain. Last night Mr..
Jerome, residing in West Waterford, had
a narrow escape. and was only rescued
by the timely arrival of several persons
who had seen his perilous position. He
was crossing the railroad bridge and had
reached about the center, when train
came laundering along. There was no
time to return, and but moment was
spent in hesitation, when, bracing him
self up for the terrible strain, he drop
ped his body between the timbers and
cIung to the cross-piece with his arms
clasped tightly about it. The train
passed and MrsJerome essayed the task OF
lifting himself up, but he had not
the requisite strength. He shrieked for
aid, and again and again essayed the task
of drawing himself up lF the strength of
his arms. 1t was all in vain, and each
struggle only served to weaken his frail
hold upon the timber. Death seemed
very near to him, and just as he was
about relinquishing his hold, he heard
encouraging cries, and he rallied his lit
tie remaining strength for the last strug,
gle of life. To Mr.. Jerome it seemed an
age before help arrived, but in reality it
was but few moments when, as his fin
gers were slipping, his arms were grasped
and he was saved. The shock to his sys-
tenn had been great, and when drawn up
he was unable to stand, and it was with
great difficulty his rescuers succeeded in
getting him to the land, and to day he is
Frustrated so as to be unable to leave his
