He showed the great disadvantages under
which the race had lsbored and the great
progress and advancement made under all
adverse circumstances and their peculiar
environments. He said the greatest, the
proudest, the most virtuous and enlight-

globe sprang from ignorance, poverty and
almost barbarism; that they rose from
that condition to their present high estate
not from accident, not by miracle, but by
virtue of their strong nerve and persever-

their example, and predicted that they
would. The speaker discussed many other
interesting points.
Upon the whole, the address was one

GRANT AND SHERMAN.

LOUISVILLE, October 2S.-The Courier
Journal will publish tomorrow lengthy
interview with Senator Beck upon the
Johnson-Grant-Depew matter Mr.. Beck
was Representative from Kentucky in

and all of his recollections are contrary to
the theories of Mr.. Depew. In regard to
Johnson's imbroglio with Grant about
the Stanton matter, Senator Beck says
the President gave him a letter from
Gen. Sherman, (which, together with his
charges and Grants admissions, proved,
as he and 1 thought. that Grant had agreed
to turn the War Department ovsoSapAim
and not give it up to Stanton,s and that
Grant and Sherman, by their action on the
18th aud 10Th of January, virtually con-
fessed this fact by insisting, for the. good

Narrow Escape from Lynching Of the

CHICAGO, October 28.-Five thousand
people completely blackened Monroe
street from LaSalle to Clark at 6 o'clock
this afternoon, half mad with excitement,
and but for the dexterity of couple of
policemen would have hanged A. ]. Burns
to the nearest lamp post. Shortly before
that hour, when the employees of the
Offices and printing establishment of the
neighborhood are released from their
days labor, young, well-dressed man en-
tered the hallway of the building in which
the offices of r. G. Dun g. Co. are located
AID leaned against the wall, as though
,,.aiting for some one. A few minutes later
the clerks and printers employed in the
building began to stream down the stairs.
The young man watched them closely,
and, catching sight of two young women
walking arm in arm, sprang forward, drew
a revolver. fired two shots in quick success
sion and dashed out of the hall and up
Monroe street to Fifth avenue. The street
was crowded with people going home from
business, and the sound of the shots at

the corner of Fifth avenue noticed the

They walked back to the scene of the

on the sidewalk. at the sight of the man
who had attempted the murder, the crowd
became furious, and attempted to teal
him from the officers grasp. Somebody
cried, Lynch him 7" and the officer, real
izing his prisoners danger, hustled him
through an alley in the direction of the
nearest station. The crowd attempted tt
follow, but only jammed itself in the mar
row entrance. The wounded women were
taken into the nearest drug store, anC
thence to the county hospital. 1t is be

Whipped for Insulting a Woman.

A short distance from Lancaster, S. c.,
last Tuesday, October 20, a white man
who had been peddling clocks was tied
up and severely whipped by two young
men for an insult given to young lady.
1t seems that the peddler had visited
Lancaster County a few months ago,
selling clocks at exorbitant prices. His
Gust 1ers being mostly negroes he took
what money they could give him and
then made them secure the balance by
mortgages on COWS, hogs, or anything
else the poor negroes had. Last week he
returned to Lancaster to collect these
mortgages, and while riding through the
country stopped at a house where he
found a young lady alone. He was very
forward in his conduct and unblushingly
offered her an insult, whereupon she ran
from the house to field where her two
brothers were at work and told them OF
what had occurred. They hurried to the
house, but finding the man gone, they
mounted their horses and put out in
pursuit of him. It was not long until
they came up with him, when they pull
ed him from his buggy, tied him with a
line, and throwing the line over the limb
of tree they pulled him up until he
tiptoed the ground, pulled off his coat
and then larruped him soundly. The
clock peddler begged pitifully and offered
to give them one hundred dollars besides
his horse and buggy if they would not
whip him.-Charlotte Observer.
