He says great change is being wrought in
the political feeling of the colored people,
and that such is tho case is due
to the manifestation of kindly feeling to-
wards them by Southern white men.
The colored vote, he says, will no longer be
solidly republican, for the colored people
are beginning to see that their interests are
identical with those of their white neigh.
bors, and that the Southern white men are
their friends. he said he was going on the

amplify these views.

The Strike In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Oct. 1S.-There is no change in
the situation in the packing house district
this morning. The armed guards now con
sst of 500 men. The Armour firm now has
500 men at work aud began slaughtering
cattle this morning in small way, but has
not yet attempted to commence operations
in it's pork packing branch, and does not
expect to do so to-day. Excitement was
caused about 10 o'clock this morning by
the report that batch of Pinkerton re-
cruits had been stoned on their way to the
yards. No one was seriously hurt, but the
feeling engendered was quickly manifested
BY the older guards who commenced to use
their clubs freely in forcing the groups of
men about the houses to move along.
CHICAGO, ILL, Oct. lS.-Delegate Bar
ry, of the Knights of Labor, just stated to
a reporter that he would have an interview
with the packers this afternoon, and that
he would tell them that the men were pre-
pared to work len hours day as demand
ed by the packers. He should use every
endeaVor to have the packers discharge all
the non union men they have brought in,
but he would not keep the men out, he
said, even if the packers refused to grant
this. Armour 4 Co. said that they would
not discharge any of the men they have
bro ught in and that as far as they are con-
cerned they feel almost independent of the
strikers. They killed 500 cattle yesterday
with their new men and expect to kill 600
to-day.

honor. violation of the ordinary princ-
ples Of good faith, whether by an individual
or community, is always sure to entail ed-
verse cousequences-if not directly, then in
directly. Moreover, while the act always
brings its own retribution, in the case of
Virginia the creditor is possessed also of
special power for defeating the effort.
Hence the offender feels the humiliation of
his position all the more, having the knowl-
edge that after all the loss of honor he has
incurred, his designs have been frustrated
and the end aimed at has not been accom-
piished."
And then, after summarizing the various
efforts that have been made to evade the
payment of her just dues, concludes:
"But is there not in all these efforts and
failure, suggestion worth needing? For

A short story, which is likely to be
the subject of much comment, and
several articles Of remarkable interest
are contained in the Atlantic Monthly
for March. The story in question is
called "a Brother to Dragons" and is
anonymous. The notable articles are
a paper on "Americana,," by Justin
Wiusor; consideration of the 'Pres-
ent Condition and Prospects Of Archi-
lecture" by Henry Van Brunt; an
article, "Classic and Romantic" on
the two great schools in literature, by
Frederic Henry Hedge; and memorial
papers on DR.. Mulford and Gen. Grant,
by Horace E. Scudder and T. w. Hig-
ginson, respectively. The number
would be worth possessing if there
were nothing else in it, but in addi-
tion we have combinations of Henry
James's and Charles Egbert Grad
docks serials, and of Dr. Holiness de-
lightful "New Portfolio" which holds
two occasional poems. John Fiske
has an instructive paper in the series
he has been contributing, this time on
the ''United States after the Revolu-
ton" In addition to these attrac-
tions there are some pleasant poetry
and also able review of the re-
cent Life Of Gen. Stuart" of some of
Tennyson's latest poems, of Richard
Grant Whites Shakespearean labors,
ETC., etc. Books Of the Month and
the "Club" make up a number as en-
tertaining as it is valuable. Hough-
