A Proposition.

EDIroR ADvooArE,-Just now the ques-
ton is being agitated as to what would be
the best class of manufactures to start in the
Lehigh Valley. A number of enterprises
which are known as light manufactures,
could be successfully and proGtably carried
on, and others consuming large quantities of
coal or iron. The first thought, however,
should be to involve the smallest amounFof
capital, make effective labor the basis of
success, begin small and work up, and make
such articles as are needed and consumed
here, aud trust to the future for competing
in the markets outside. A straw-braid and
staw-hat mandatory in Lehighton or
Wessport, if properly managed, would pay
the protector and furnish employment to a
number Of young women and men who are
now earning nothing. 90

Pcte's visit.

We were cleverly entertained one even
ing, of this week by one of that peculiar
class of people who are always on the "go,'
and known as old "Prints." This specimen
of the genus typo has outwalked either Wes-
ton or Q'Leary, has traversed more ground
and been in more trough and tumble" fights
than any man of his years. He stands six
feet nothing in his stockings, and has en-
countered and advocated every theory that
has ever enriched the idosyncratic mind,
and is now ON his forty-second round trip as
a candidate for the first honors of the Re-
public. lie says George Francis Train is the
most prominent candidate now before the
country, and in all likelihood will carry off
the laurels of the successorship of President
Hayes. lie has a fine opinion of Dom
Pedro, and says he thinks that gentleman
will some day or other move over here and
take deep interest in our affairs. Candi-
dates for public favor, Dom Pedro told him
in his last interview, were not as plentiful
as they should be in a country so prolific as
America of great men, and he seriously
thought of migrating hitherward. He was
a curious old tramp, this nomad, and alter
expressing his heartiest thanks for the muni-
ficence extended and congratulating us on
the completeness and general acceptablity
of our paper he took up his staffand started
for new fields. Whittier he will turn up
next time alone can tell, but as he has a
mind built purely on the "go," we opine it
will be long time before he stops long
enough at one place to have anything like a
funeral Grafton preached over his typographi-
cal remains.
