PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON LABOR.

In those documents we find the abridg-
ment Of the existing right Of suffrage,
and the denial to the people Of all right
to participate in the selection OF public
officers, except the legislative, boldly ad-
vocated with labored arguments to
prove that large control Of the people in
the Government is the source Of all
political evil. Monarchy itself is some.
times limited at as a possible refuge
from the power Of the people. In my
present position, / could scarcely be JUS
titled were I to omit raising warning
voice against this approach Of returning
despotism. 1t is not needed or fitting
here that general argument should be
made in favor Of the popular institutions,
but there is one point, with its connec-
tions, not so hackneyed as the other, to
which l ask brief attention. It is the
effort to place capital on an equal foot
ing, il not above, labor in the structure
Of Government. 1t is assumed that
labor is only available in connection
with capital; that nobody labors unless
somebody else owning capital somehow
Ly the use of it induces him to labor.
This assumed, it is next considered
whether it is best that capital shall hire
labo1ers, and thus induce them to work
by their own consent, or buy them and
drive them to it without their consent.
Having proceeded SO far, it is naturally
concluded that all laborers are either
hired laborers or what we call slaves.
And, further, it is assumed that whoever
is once o hired laborer is fixed in that
condition for life. Now there is no
such relation between capital and labor
as that assumed, nor is there any such
a thing as free man being fixed for
life in the condition Of a hired laborer.
Labor is prior to and independent Of
capital. Capital is only the fruit Of
labor, and could never have existed il
labor had not first existed. Labor is
the superior Of capital, and deserves
much the highest consideration. No
! men living are more to be trusted than
those who toll up from proverty none
less inclined to touch or take aught
which they have not honestly earned.
Let them beware Of surrendering Q
political power which they already pos
sess and which when surrendered will
surely be used to close the doors Of ad-
vancement against such as they and to
fix new disabilities and burdens upon
them till all their liberty shall DO lost

Owensbyro Messenger The marked
improvement of the newspapers of
Kentucky in the past few years is an
omen of good. The stupid, misera-
bly, printed sheets of years ago, ed
tied by broken down politicians each
with an axe to grind, are fast dis
appearing and are replaced by pa.
pers that are creditable alike as to
Typography and news matter. AT
the last meeting of the Kentucky
Press Association it was noticeable
that large majority of the editors
present were young men. 1T is the
young men who have infused new
life into the country press, and who
have grasped the idea that it is news
of local, social, political and gener-
al character, done up in crisp para
graphs, instead of long winded, dry
editorials rehashed from the daily
press, that suits the fancy of the
hasty reader of to-day. And in this
march of progress the free expires.
sion of independent thought is by nc
means hindmost. We have every
reason to feel proud of the improve
ment among our Kentucky ex-
changes during the year that is now
drawing to a close.

A False Report.

A half-column article purporting
to have been dispatched from this
place, Dec. %, appeared in the Louis
vile Post of Monday. 1t was Of a
highly sensational character and
gave thrilling account Of the burn
ing of the Union Theatre at Cadiz,
Ky. The Holloway Opera Co, with
Madame Dolo. es as the star, was
playing all engagement in which the
prima donna was giving her fare
well appearance before retiring from
the stage. While she was entranc-
ing a spell-bound audience, fire
broke out in one of the dressing
rooms and panic ensued. The ex-
cited people trampled each other I'M
der foot in their frantic efforts to es-
cape. Madame Dolores tainted and
fell across the footlights and was en-
lvcloped III flames, when Adolph
Phillips, manager of the theatre, made
hero of himself by rushing into the
binding smoke and throwing CAM
els hair shawl around the PROSTATE
singer, and rescuing her from hor-
ible death. The magnificent theatre
was totally destroyed, at loss of $l0,-
600 with $500 insurance. This was
about the substance of the article.
1t has been ascertained that the ca
nard was sent by young man of
this city. We don't know whether it
was done designedly OF whether the
Posts correspondent was made the
victim of a joke and did not wait to
investigate the truth of the alleged
holocaust. 1t is unnecessary to say
that the whole thing is utterly and
entirely false. There is no theatre in
Cadiz, no opera companies ever go
there, there was no fire, no holocaust
and nobody made hero Of himself,
In fact there is not the remotest foun-
dation for the story, which was pub
lished by the Post with flaming
headlines and copied into the Com
mercial. Cadiz is a quiet little in
land town, in Trigg county, with a
daily mail to this place and such an
item Of news would have reached
this city within few hours.

The January number Of the North
American Review is an excellent one.
1t presents no very famous names
among its contributors, but it offers
wide variety of unusually readable
articles. We are now so safely over
the crisis of the presidential election
that men of all parties can consider
calmly Bishop HuntiDgton's essay OH
"Vituperation in Politics, and it is to
be hoped that what they learn from
it will not be forgotten four years
hence. Under the title, "The Reuni-
ted South" Henry Watterson pre-
sents with great clearness the South
ern and Democratic view of the po-
litical situation as it now stands.
This also is extremely interesting to
every citizen, whether he agrees with
Mr.. Watterson or not. Another
question of universal concern, which
some think will soon make itself a
national issue, is that of labor and
its compensation; and Col. Hinton,
in "American Labor Organizations
shows with what equipment it will
take the field. But the article thai
the literary reader will first turn tc
is Frederic Harrison's brilliant and
incisive discussion of "Froude's Life
of Carlyle; while the religious OF
philosophical reader will find in
Courtney's socrates, Buddha, and
| Christ" specific statements and quo
tations of those parallel doctrines
that are so often vaguely alluded tc
For the scientific reader, Mr.. Proctor
discusses learnedly "Herschel's Star
Surveys" andProf LIE comte presents
and explains some curious facts in
relation to "The Evidence of the
Senses" Mr.. MulhalPs paper on
"The Increase of Wealth" is a sue.

HOW TO LIFT a THOUSAND POUNDS.
Dumb-bells weighing not over Ave
pounds each are recommended, which
should be nsed regularly every morning
and evening for half On hour for a year
By this time il win be found that the
muscles Of the arms, legs and body will

exceedingly firm and hard. When this
condition has been acquired, then, and
not till then, can man think Of lifting
heavy weights for if he cannot get his
muscles and nerves in this condition, he
can never become litter, even with
years of practice, as it takes strength as
well as sleight to lift heavy weight.
Some very good authorities recommend
lifting at the commencement, adding
that you must not lift too much" But
how caninexperienced hands tell when it
is too much before they find themselves
permanently injured?

Daniel Conn BurIeigh.

The announcement in Saturdays PRESS of
Dr. Burleigh's death in Dresden, Germany, on
January the 10th, will bring deep regret to
many of his old acquaintance and friends in
Maine.
DR.. Burleigh was a graduate of Bowdoin,
one of the best scholars in the large and ex-
cellept class of 1858, in which there was at
graduation a group of young men, of whom
high expectations were cherished. Some of
them died young, while others have already
distinguished themselves in the fields in which
they have labored, as William Allen Abbot,
then of Norridgewock, now of New York city;
Jonathan Prince Cilley of Rocklsnd; Nathan
Cleaves, Rufus Washburn Deering and
Francis Fessenden of Portland; Franklin
Melien Drew of Lewiston, Edward Bowdoin
Neatly OF Bangor, Frank Sewall of Bath and
others. For few years after graduation, Mr..
Burleigh taught at Brunswick and at Hamp-
den in this State. He studied medicine in
New York, at Cambridge and Brunswick, aud
during the progress of his studies acted as as
sistant surgeon in the Navy. After the close
of the war he practiced his profession in New
Hampshire, but in 1879 was assigned to the
regular navy and placed on the retired list for
disability incurred in service. In 1880 he went
abroad with his family, wife and two
daughters. During the first year, passed in
Switzerland and Italy, his health seemed TO
improve. But in the summer of 1881, his
youngest child. little girl of great promise,
died suddenly in Geneva. The heart-broken
parents went across the lake to friends n
Vevey and buried their child there in the old
cemetery of st. Martins church. More re-
Gently they have resided in Germany, but his
last resting place will probably be in Vevey,
where the solemn Alps will look down upon
the grave Of no juster, kinder or truer man.

Francis Murphy.

The Boston Globe says: 81 have been listen
ing to born actor and mimic. He is not on
the playhouse stage, however, but devotes
himself to the platform. His mission is to
redeem his fellow-men from the thraldom OF
strong drink, and his name is Francis Murphy.
No audiences more spellbound ever followed
famous player than the throngs that have al
ternately laughed and cried as the gifted
Irishman talked of total abstinence last week
in the Methodist place of worship on Temple
street. Mr.. Murphy acts without the advan-
tage OF scenery or stage effects, but his mimic
ry, his wonderfully magnetic way of telling a
tale or OF pointing moral, could not find
quicker appreciation. And the secret of his
success with his audiences is the secret of the
success of many noted players-entire devotion
to his cause"
