A CROWD of lawless whites who started

A CROWD of lawless whites who started
out, one evening last week, for night
of Negro whipping near Little Rock,
Ark, found just the reception which
they deserved, says the Cleveland. Leader,
when a colored man, named Brown, fired
upon them with a double -barreled shot
gun, as they were battering down his
door, and killed one of the roughs besides
wounding another. He will probably
lose his life for this act of self-defense,
but if more Negroes in the cotton States
would sell their blood in like manner
and defend their persons and property
to the death, the effect would be most
salutary. The cruelest and most brutal
of their oppressors are towards at heart.

AMERICAN CUTLERY vs.ENGLIsH

AMERICAN CUTLERY vs.ENGLISH
Another English manufacturing en-
terprise has been seriously disturbed by
the American protective tariff. The
Boston Journal says that several of tie
largest Sheffield concerns are contem-
plating a reduction in the wages Of
their employees, as they can not sell
goods at profit in America since the
new tariff became operative.
at is a favorite assertion with En-
glishmen," says the Journal, "and with
some of our own radical free traders,
that cutlery can not be made in America
as well as it can be made in England
While this has been said in turnS~of
every domestic article, experience has
repeatedly proven its absurdity. The
United States leads the world in iron
and steel manufactures, and it is the
testimony of English experts that the
quality of the materials and the style of
workmanship in our breech-loading guns
and the hulls and engines of our men of
war are the despair of our foreign COM
petitors. And yet this is practically one
of our infant industries.
Under the new tariff, with the re-
markable skill and ingenuity which our
workmen have exhibited in manipulating
steel in other forms, it will not be long
before American brands will mark the
choicest varieties of penknives and
scissors. American machinery and
tools are now finding an extensive
market in South America, in preference
to that of English make, and we see no
reason why we may not become as pre-.
eminent in the way of cutlery and other
products.

NEW STORY OF LINCOLN.
WHY HE HAD FAITH IN A UNION
VICTORY AT GETTYSBURG.

| WHY HE HAD FAITH IN A UNION
VICTORY AT GETTYSBURG.
New York Press
In recent address before the Young
Mems Christian Association of Trenton
n. j., Gen. James F. Rushing related a
new and interesting anecdote of Abra-
ham Lincoln. The story has never before
been printed Here it is:
in the third days fight at Gettysburg
Daniel X. Sickles, ex-Sheriff of New
York, lost leg 1t was amputated
above the knee, and the wounded man
was conveyed to Washington and placed
in building opposite the Ebbitt House.
Gen. Rushing, who knew Sickles well,
called to see him. While there President
Lincoln was announced, and he was
shown into the room. The three men
fell into conversation about the battle
Sickles asked Lincoln whether he had
not been greatly worried as to the result
of the fight.
"'Oh, no. said Mr.. Lincoln; Il thought
it would be all right
"'But you must have been the only
man who felt so,' replied Sickles, for
understood that there was deep feeling
of anxiety here among the heads of the
government
"'Yes,' replied the President, Stanton,
Wells, and the rest were pretty badly
ratified, and ordered two or three gun
boats up to the city and placed some of
the government archives aboard, and
wanted me to go aboard, but told them
it wasn't necessary and that it would be
all right
"'But what made you feel so conf
dent, Mr.. President? persisted General
Sickles.
.s'Oh, had my reasons, but don't
care to mention them, for they would,
perhaps, be laughed at said Lincoln.
"Of course the curiosity of both the
other gentlemen was greatly excited,
and Gen. Sickles again pressed Mr..
Lincoln to explain the grounds of his
confidence Finally Lincoln said:
"HWell, will tell you why L felt con-
fident we should win at Gettysburg.
Before the battle 1 retired alone to my
room in the White House and got down
on my knees and prayed to Almighty
God to give us the victory. said to
Him that this was His war, and that if
He would stand by the nation now, l
would stand by Him the rest of my life
He gave us the victory, and propose to
keep my pledge. | arose from my knees
with feeling of deep and serene conf
dence, and had no doubt of the result
from that hour.
seen. Sickles and myself" continued
Rushing, "were both profoundly impress
ed by Lincoln's words, and for some
minutes complete silence reigned. Then
Sickles, turning over on his couch, said:
"'Well. Mr.. President, how do you
feel about the Vicksburg campaign

SOMEBODY MAKING MONEY.

National Stockman.
Somebody is making money on many
of the staple articles now appearing on
the table of the city consumer. This is
fact beyond dispute, for the reason
that at no time for years has the cost of
living in centers of population been as
great as it is now. Outside of bread
and some kinds of meat the advance in
values extends to nearly everything else
consumed, and in some special items,
such as fruits, potatoes. ETC., the cost
has been in all cases doubled, and in
many cases quadrupled, as compared
with the prices of recent years. This
being true, somebody must under the
circumstances be well paid for their
produce, or an unusual margin of profit
is picked up somewhere between the
producer and the consumer. Even al
lowing, though, that this profit is much
greater than it should be, there are pro-
ducers to whom the current season must
bring a harvest of good. There are
many things which can hardly be pur-
chased this winter by any other than
thrifty people. In fact the housekeeper
has seldom found the same necessity
for family self-denial and economy that
is met with at this time. OF course the
profits of these various products could
not be nearly so great if the quantities
were sufficient to give larger number
of people share in the good which their
sale brings. Yet, taking all things to-
gether, a great many people are benfited
by the conditions now ruling

The Street matter,

Before Judge Dreher and Associates
Seidle and Price Tuesday the Lehigh-

ing: A. j. Durling, John T. Semmel ct
al VS.. The Borough of Lehighton ct al.
A writ of alternative mandamus is
ordered to be issued against the de-
PENDANTS returnable August 7th. In
this case the plaintiffs are property
owners on First OF Bank street, Lehigh-
ton, and'in their petition to court they
set forth that certain assessments have
been levied upon them for paving, gut
tering and macadamizing said street;
that they believe and expect to prove
that the ordinance directing the same
to be done, and an alleged petition on
which the ordinance is said to have
been passed are illegal and void; that
they demanded from the defendants to
be allowed to examine and inspect the
minutes, books and records of said
borough with view of informing them
selves on this subject and that the
same was refused. The writ of man.
dues, therefore, is to allow an inspec.
tion of the books.

AT A RECENT meeting of number of
local assemblies Of the X. of L. the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted: "That
we call upon all workingmen to take
an earnest interest in the observance
of the semi monthly pay law by the en-
ployers. Every employee in the service
ofthe corporations Of this valley should
be directed to demand his wages every
two weeks, so that the violation of the
law would rest with those who are
loudest in their protestations against
infringements of the law on the part OF
the working men," They evidently
mean business and corporations would
do well to bear It in mind.
