New York Sun There is danger that success may turn the heads of the Knights of Labor and of the organizations they in- huence. While we uphold and stand by their fundamental purpose, we deprecate the excesses into which they may be led, and ws warn them against the injus- tice into. which they may be betrayed. It cannot be allowed in this country that a man who employs labor shall not himself select it and control it. free from dictation as to the individual persons. whom he shall employ. Such . rule would be in- tolerabla ia its operation and effeets and while 1t might benefit few, 1t would af- ford to the many license and occasion of abuse that would be fatal to all business discipline, Nor can it be allowed that an industrial organization of a protective character shall usurp the great powers of government, and levy7sRar on all business under the pretext of attending to it's own.
 Therefore, we gay the leaders of labor should beware lest they go too far and de- feat their own purposes. Let them regu- late wages and hours aud resist all oppres- sion, but the leaders even of the most sacred of causes cannot be allowed to pro- cetd to the extremes of tyranny and extor- tior. ste, $ss
 We want to see every man who W orks fer his living have his fair share of the profits of his labor, and we deplore any action on the part of the labor orgahiza- tons tending to defeat that end. Re- venges and reprisals upon capital are sure in. the end to be quite as injurious aud az hursful to the community as its worst and most systematic exactions and oppression have ever been. es@vs.s

 You all, or, as 1t should be .abbreyi- ated, ssy'all Z is one of the most ridiculous of all the southernisms can call to mind. It usually means two or more persons, but is sometimes used when only Cne per son is meant. For instance, a caller, on taking her departure, says Fall must come to see us. She means the lady upon whom she is calling and her hus- band may call.
 Tee Yankees have quite as many ridicu- lous figures of speech as those l have mentioned as peculiarly southern, and every true. hearted southron who reads these lines will declare that he never used any of these southernisms, and will be just as honest in his belief as the Charles tonian when he VOWS that he never says ssdls,a-way' for ''this way" and "dat-a- way" for ''that way"

ON CHILD

Who recovered his sight through the influence o music.
 BY VIM. LAWSON. A lovely child just budding forth, aEE8G A fathers hope, a mothers pride, With bright blue eyes and golden hair, That fell in wavelets by his side. The idol of the household he,
 So blythe, so innocent and gay, Prattling his little fairy tales,
 By mothers side the ivelong day; Or gambolling mongst the birds and flowers His wee pet dog to share his glee, Till birds and flowers had gone to rest, When he upon his mothers knee So sweetly breathed tn evening prayer, And went to rest while star showers flung A mellow glory all around,
 And nightingales their vespers sung. Sweet morn arose in blushing pride, And richest perfumes, zephyr borne, Played round his couch, while at the pane, The rosebuds tapped sweet ''good morn. The humming birds their matins sung, Yet rose not at the usual hour l he child, when father to him said,
 Come, rise my son, my bonny fowerlns ls s'Oh, father, is it day ?'' he cried,
 s'On yes my sO uO you uOe uA0 How bright the sun shines in he room ?" ''Then father, father, am blind t' The father quivered every limb,
 To know his child, his households light, By some unseen, mysterious hand, Was plunged into eternal night. Oh God a mothers heart nigh burst, | A death-like pallor blanched her cheek, Tears fell not from those glassy eyes,
 No mortal tongue her grief could speak How changed now was all around,
 The sun shone with sickly glare, Sweet notes were but discordant sound,
 And mornings perfume-laden air Fell sickly on the aching sense,
 Naught now e'er broke the stilly gloom, ave hollow footsteps trod the floor,
 And voices spoke in undertone. Oh many fervent prayer was breathed, To Him whose throne is radiant light, To grant unto their darling child,
 Again the blessed sense of sight. I'Time wore along he still was blind,
 Like to flower just op'd at morn, Bighted ere noon and closed to-day
 Of all it's blushing beauties shorn. At length sweet music OCT him stole,
 The widest rapture thrilled his frame, And lit as by angelic fire,
 His long-lost sight returned again. Oh! wild wi stacy, he cried,
 Dear father father can sec NJ mother, you, the trees, the flowers,
 Oh mother, take me on your knee." Like summer rain the tears fell fast,
 Adown the mothers quivering cheek, The fathers too, and both to heaven,
 Offered prayer they could not speak. To Him from whom all blessings come, F

A DRY JOKE ON SENATOR BECK.-A story IS told upon Senator Beck at the white house dinner Tuesday evening. It seems that Senator Butler of South Caro- lima called the butler to him and said "Mr. Beck has a great dislike to cham pagne. He becomes very irritable if his glass is often filled, but is too polite to say so. After the champagne is served you will please him by filing his glass at once aud then supplying it with apollinaris. :" Ihls solemn advlces was acted upon by the butler, who admonished his assistants.
 When the champagne came in Beck drank his glass at 6 gulp, for he is one of the greatest wlne drinkers in public life. Then the fun began the senators all about hlm began to plague him, first one and then another. His glass was empty aud he tranrlcly swallowed the other wines re- manning about his plate. When his pa tiencel was exhausted he called to the waiter behind him, ''Flll my glass" The man had his apollinaris ready, and Beck drank iEs with q Wry faOa. More cham pagne. be sad, sotto voce, and again the apoilinaris flowed for him. So it went on, every one about him drinking wine and he apOninaris. The others would not let him rest, and he drank about two quarts before the dinner was over. After the guests left the table, some of them told him the joke. He received it in no very mood, and is now waiting to be even with Butler.

The Latest American Invention.
THE VICTORY OF ELECTRTuITY

Since Electricity has been applied To- light
ing purposes, all efforts OF inv.ators have
been directed TO construct lamp Tor general
domestic use. The reason why this problem
has till now not been solved, is that none OF
the inventors could rid themselves of the idea
of gas lighting, and that all have adhered to
the system Of producing the Electricity in
some central place, or by large machinery, in
stead Of first laying down the principle that
Lamp which should ever become generally
useful and popular, must be portable, like an
Oil Lamp, and contain the generator Of Elec-
tricity in itself, i. e., in the foot Of the Lamp
The Norman Electric Light Company has
at last succeeded in completely realizing this
ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no
doubt that this most important invention will
bring about complete revolution in all
branches of lighting.
Our Electric Lamp needs neither Machin-
cry, Conductors, nor any expensive outlay,
and is neither complicated nor disagreeable in
manipulation; all that is necessary is to refill
it every four or five days with acid. The cost
OF lighting will be as cheap as gas ~ cents
per hour, and ii has before the latter the inn
mense advantage of neither producing heat,
smoke nor carbonic acid owing to which the
air is not inquired, and remains at the same
degree Of temperature. 1t is further abso-
lutely inodorous, and docs not need 10 be
kinded by match, or otherwise, but simply
by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger
Of fire, explosion or su6ocation, as in the case
of gas, il the key is left open; and it must be
conceded that this advantage alone is invalu
able. It is further preferable to any known
kind Of lighting for the following reasons;
(I.) Its manipulation is so simple that any
child can keep it in order.
(2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be
removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place
to another.
(3.) That it neither requires the disagree
able fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the
cylinder, as in the case Of Oil Lamps.
(4.) That the light produced is soft anc
most steady one that il never ilickers, and
the flame, though being equal in power o
lighting to gas can be regulated TO any dc
gree,
(s.) That every danger of lire is absolutely
excluded as the light will extinguish immedi
ately, il by any accident the glass surrounding
the burner should be broken.
(6.) That il will burn, even in the strongest
wind, completely unaffected, thus being in
valuable for illuminaions, lighting Of gardens
corridors, etc,
This Lamp is constructed for the present it
three different sizes;
