The supremely attractive woman at
Long Branch this season is Sonora de
| Barrois, widow of the late President of
Guatemala. who was killed in a recent
engagement with revolutionists. This
lady is of medium height and good
figure. Her eyes are wonderfully bril-
liant, and charm all who come within
their spell. She is in deep mourning,
and is dwelling at the West End in
seni-retirement. Her Grape and lace
dresses are the envy of the ladies and
the delight of the men, One of her
morning toilets is as pathetic as a
requiem. 1t is a floating mass of black
tulle. Grape and the costliest lace; and,
supplemented by the raven-hued man
tilla gathered about her forehead and
neck as only the ladies of Spanish
blood can arrange it, gives to her figure
and face a spiritual grace and beauty
that is matchless. She leads a very
quiet life in the midst of this great
hotel, with its teeming population
elbowing and jostling each other.
Madame-for she is as frequently called
by the French form of address as by
the Spanish - generally breakfasts
alone in her parlor. She has a lux
urious suit of apartments, where the
few who are permitted to visit her in

Though she is fond of the dance, her
recent widowhood forbids it for the

she occupied a chair in the rear of the

dazzling face was the object upon which
all eyes centred. have spoken of the
effect as dazzling. This impression was
doubtless heightened by the two great

A horrible story from the lower end
of Tatnall county, Georgia, has just
reached Savannah. A negro woman,
engaged to prepare a dinner for a
colored picnic, murdered young
child which had been left in her charge,
cooked half of the remains and served
it to the people. The other half of
the remains were found salted down
in a barrel. The negroes became per-
fectly frenzied on making the discov
cry and siezed the woman and burned
her at the stake. The report appears
to be authentic.

MR.. LINCOLN'S VIEWS.

In Topics of the Time" The Cen
tery for August, in speaking of work
ingmen say as follows:
Their right to combine for the pro-
motion Of their own interests cannot
be denied; the attempts of some to
deprive them of this right are tyranni-
cal; but the correlative of the right to
form such combinations is the right of
every man to refuse to enterinto them.
That right they must recognize and
defend. Whatever they can do bv
peaceable and rational methods to
improve their circumstances thew
ought to do; but let them not suppose
that they can grasp by violence anv
real advantages. The right of every
man to work for whom he will. and
Tor what wages he chooses to accept.
is the cornerstone of our free institu-
tons; it is monstrous blunder for
workingmen to deny this right to anv
honest man. Some of them do not
seem to see how deeply their welfare
and happiness are concerned in the
preservation of this sacred right.
Let them think we'll upon these words
of one of themselves, who stood when
he spoke then at the head of the
nation:
Nowhere in the world is presented
government OF so much liberty and
equality. To the humblest and poor
est among US are held out the highest
privileges and positions. The present
moment finds me at the White House.
yet there is as good a chance for YOUR
children as there was for my fathers.
Again | admonish you not to be turned
from your stern purpose of defending
our beloved country and its free institu
tlons by any arguments urged by
ambitious and designing men,
TO save these institutions for our
children, to keep these paths of privi
lege and preferment open to all, there
must be no despotisms here, not even
for beneficent ends. Workingmen
want no other weapons than liberty
and light. By peaceful and orderly
measures they will the more speedily
and surely gain the ends they seek:
by any other measures they will un--
dermine and shatter the civil structure
which is the shelter and the defense of
all that they hold dear

The village of Patchogue, Long
Island, was invaded by novel species
of flying bug Wednesday night. The
insects swarmed in such quantities
that all the stores in the principal
business block were compelled to close
an hour before the usual time. The
bugs were about an inch long and
three quarters of an inch in diameter,
with hard shell-backs. No one in the
village remembers such a visitation be-
fore.

SLOW TRUTH.

We have it now from reliable au-
thorlty that the capitalist press re-
ports Of the sanguinary affair at
Milwaukee, Wis, on May ,, were
lies. Instead of mob of | 800
visiting the st. Paul shops and
forcing the men to quit work with
clubs and sticks there was an or
derly procession Of 300 men, at
whose head was a committee of the
*. of H., who, when they reached
the shops, signalled the men to stop
work, accordiug to preriols arrange
ment which they willingly did.
Then they proceeded towards the
town, and similar scenes occurred at
IA number of shops on the way.
The first warning the committee
and their escort had of danger was
when yolley from the militia laid
a half-dozen Of them stretched upon
the ground; and the cause of this
brutal murder was that the men
had demanded that eight hours be
Il normal days work. and were sue
cessful in persuading their fellow
workmen to strike rather than sub
nit to the dictation of the bosses,
who would make them work twenty
hours day if they could. The
strikers fled, and that evening they
decided to have no more such de
monstrations till the military We're
withdrawn. Thus the bosses have
succeeded in killing few workmen,
but they have not succeeded in de
feating the eight-hour movement in
Milwaukee.
If the strikers had been we'll
armed and drilled the probability is
that there would have been no
shooting.

THE PHILADELPHIA CON-
VENTION,

NEw YORK, May 2o,-The result
of the Philadelphia Convention of
Trades Union officers is kept Sc
crnt by those who attended. From
private sources, however, it is learned
that the most bitter antagonizers of
the Order Of Knights of Labor have
not derived much comfort from the
convention, a large percentage of
the attendants being staunch
knights themselves, and intelli-
gence enough to avoid being drawn
into a controversy by the hotheads.
1t is admitted that an address to the
special meeting of the General AS
sembly of Knights of Labor at
Cleveland has been drawn up, which
is conciliatory in its tone.

ST. LOUIS, May lo. The Grand
jury of st, Clair County, has refused
to find true bills against Gould's
hired murderers, the deputy sherifls
who murdered eight persons, inclu-
ding woman, by firing into Il crowd
at East st, Louis, during the great
strike. The crime of these bandits
was SO evident that even those who
have no sympathy with the strike
denounced 1t iii unmeasured terms.
The refusal of the Grand Jury to
indict them for murder calls forth
the greatest Indignation and disgust
among all classes here. In Belle
Vile and East st. Louis there is con-
siderable excitement among the
working people over the evident cor
ruptlon Of the Grand Jury. The
villains are still in Jail to protect

CARRIAGE BODYMAkERS.

The situation among the carriage
bodymakers remains unchanged.
The manufacturers who have not
settled with the Carriage Workmen's
Union in regard to the bodymakers'
price list, have not succeeded in
getting the places of the strikers
filled, nor are they likely to. One
individual named Keller, who has
been drawing strike benefits from
the Union, has turned scab and gone
to work in Hale's factory. This
man lives in Newhallville and owns
property. Otherwise, the workmen
stand as firm as ever. Bodymakers
should steer clear of New Haven,
