RocKLAND. June 10.-The Labor Day

of last year. Not only the knights of Labor
but artisans Of all classes, will be invited to
participate without regard to politics.

Of New Orleans.

New ORLEANS, La, June 10.-Charles

was tried today. Granger was person of
more Importance than Glandi, being con-
nected with prominent families. and having
borne good reputation. For eight months

porters among the Machecas and Oteris. He
was tried for attempting to bribe Alphonse
Lebaire. The latter said that the morning
after he received his summons as a Juror
Granger asked him If he wanted to make
$500. He said yes and Granger told him he
would give him that much to 60 on the Hen
messy jury and work the jury. Lebaire de-
clined the offer. Changers defence was a
general denial. After being out several
hours, the jury could not agree, and a mis-
trial was entered. The jury stood nine for
acquittal and three for conviction. Five

HARD WORDS FOR WALES.
London Papers Agree on a Verdict
of Guilty as to the Prince.

LONDON, June 10.-Referring to this result
of tie baccarat case, the Chronicle has
scathing article nearly two columns In length
in which it condemns the iury's finding and
Lord Coleridge's partiality. Continuing, it
says: Cumming is not the first gallant
Scotchman who has sacrificed both honor
and life to the fervid passion Of loyalty to
the Prince Of Wales, or whose devotion has
been rewarded by cruel and cynical ingrati-
man. without the soul of funkey. has ever
run the smallest risk for the sake of the heir
apparents HONOR
The Chronicle finally asks what steps will
be taken to vindicate the defendants in the
crime which the Prince of Wales compound
ed, by signing the compact with Sir William
Gordon Cumming. or whether the Infamous
scandal will be hushed up forever.
The Times says the case ended in the only
way In which impartial observers believed 1t
possible. 1t advises the Wilson family,
which it accuses Of being indirectly respon-
sible for the tragic ruin of fine career, to
remain in social retirement In regard to an
Important aspect of the case, the Times says
I'VE express the universal feeling Of mil
lions OF English men and women when we
say that we profoundly regret the Prince Of
most wish for the sake OF English society
that as a result of this unhappy case. the
Prince of Wales had also signed the decla-
ration that he would never touch card
again."
The Standard says: "Even If the plain
tiff came out worst In the affair, 1t must be
admitted that the defendants aud their
friends have somewhat tarnished reputa-
ti0n. The whole business Is ignoble from
beginning to ending. There is an air Of vul-
garity and shabbiness, and 1t must, In COM
mon fairness, be acknowledged that the
Prince Of Wales cannot be exempt from the
censure passed on his associates"

ThE"sLoW" MAN.
Abraham llncoln's Advice to a Heed
less Step Brother.

Dear JOhnston.-Your request for $50 !
do not think 1t best to comply with now. At
the various times when have helped you
little, you have said to me, I'VE can get
along very well now," but In very short
time find you in the same difficulty again.
Now this can only happen by some defect in
your conduct. What that defect is think l
know. You are not lazy, and still you are
an idler. doubt whether since saw you
you have done good whole days work In,
say, one day. You do not very much dis
like to work, and still you do not work much,
merely because 1t does not seem to you that
you could get much for 1t; This habit OF
uselessly wasting time Is the whole difficulty
and 1t Is vastly Important to you, and stu
more to your children, that you should
break this habit. It is more important to
them because they have longer to live, and
can keep out of the idle habit before they
are in 1t easier than they can get out after
You are now 10 need of some ready money !;
and what propose is, that you shall go to
work tooth and nail for somebody who
will give you money for 1t. Let father and
YOUR boys take charge Of things at home,
prepare prep for a crop, and make the crop, and
you go to work for the best money wages, or
q discharge of any debt you owe, that you
can get. And to secure you fair reward
i now promise you tnat Tor every dollar you
will, between this and the first OF next may.
get for your own labor, either in money or
In your own Indebtedness, / will then give
you one other dollar. By this, II you hire
yourself at $40 a month, from me you will
get ten more, making $40 month Tor your
work. In this do not mean you shall go
off to st. Louis, or the lead mines, or the
gold mines In California, but l mean for you
to 20 at 1t, for the best wages you can get
close to home-in Coles County. Now If you
will do this, you will soon be out Of debt,
and, what Is better, you will have a habit
that will keep you from getting In debt
again. But If should now clear you out,
next year you will be just as deep In as ever.
You say you would almost give your place in
heaven for $40 or $50. Then you value your
place In heaven very cheaply, for am sure
you can, with the offer make you, get the
$40 or $50 for four or five months work.
You say II l furnish you the money you will
deed me the land. and II you don't pay the
money back you will deliver possession.
Nonsense! If you can't now live with the
land, how will you then live without? You
have always been kind to me; and lido not
now mean to DO unkind to you, On the
contrary, IL you will but follow my advice
you will find 1t worth more thaa eight times
$50 to you. Affecionately your brother.
