ZINC Dny ln Ncw York.

New York, Sept 5.-Labor day is
being quite generally observed. lsusi-
ness is almost wholly suspended. Tho
exchanges arc all closed. The labor
unions celebrated the day by q
parade and picnic
1t was estimated that over 10000
men turned out in the procession
Over seventy separate unions formed
in line and began moving about lC
o'clock this morning from Eight,
street and Fourth avenue. The rivalry
nhlong the organizations in the matter
of display of banners and tasteful
appearance of the men in line was
productive of fine spectacle. A
rather shorter line of march was
adopted than usual. At the Thirtietl,
street ferry most of the men in line
marched upon boats for Long Island,
where the afternoon was spent IN
speech making dancing and sports.
The labor day parade in BROOKLYN
was participated in by about 10000
men. The afternoon ut Ridgewood
park was given up to games, speech
making and dancing.

RAZOR INSTEAD OF sTlLErro.
The Italian Learning Lesson from the
Negro of the South.

Newly arrived Italians saws tho N.
Y. SIN, are beginning to discard the
stiletto for the razor, and in several
recent Italian affrays the latter weapon
was used instead of the former. The
Italian has learned lesson of the
negro. and the reason for the adoption
OF the razor as a weapon is curiously
similar in the case of both. In the
days when saveholding South was
periodically in fear of servile insurrec-
ton there was a strong effort made to
disarm the slaves. 1t was pretty sue
ccssful so far as tireams and ordinary
offensive weapons went, but the negro
could not reasonably be deprived of so
useful, necessary, and apparently in
noccnt an instrument as the razor, so
he adapted that to offensive uses by
learning to turn the blade well back
into the handle in reverse direction
from the position of the blade when it
is closed, to grasp the handle and the
back of the blade in the closed palm,
and thus to present long cutting edge
to the enemy. A razor thus welded
does not readily intiict very deep
wound, and this may account for the
fact that while negro cutting affrays
are attended with great loss of blood
they seldom result fatally.
The public prejudice against the
stiletto and the effort of the courts to
enforce against bearers of that instru-
ment the law forbidding the carrying
of concealed deadly weapons have led
the Italians to get educated in Ameri-
can ways. to adopt the razor as a
S,-ap Nfr I l.. q
it negro fashion, since it is dangerous
instrument to its master if welded in
any other way.
The habit of carrying the razor or
some other cutting weapon in the boot
is still not uncommon with negroes in
the country, where long boots are yet
worn. Sometimes a pocket is made
just inside the leg of the boot, and to
reach for razor" means simply to
stoop little and draw forth the
weapon. Another favorite weapon
with the negro of the South is knife
with sort of spring that makes blade
aud handle temporarily one. Some
times this is managed by means Of q
notch in the blade, to which is fitted a
little metallic peg in the handle. Notch
and peg are brought together by mere
ly shaking the knife with hard, sud
den jerk, such as one gives to rid pen
of superfuous ink.
The Southern negro carried his razor
much less with thought of insnrrection
than us n weapon of offence and de-
fence against private enemies of his
own race or against the dreaded
"stoodents." The enslaved negro had
n natural horror of being seized by
medical students and murdered in
order that his body might adorn the
dissecting table. This superstitious
fear was once strong upon the negroes
of Maryland, and perhaps still has
some hold among them. "Stoodents
gitcher" was an effective threat with
negro mothers in managing pickanin-
nies, and what was n vague terror to
children was n solemn fear to parents.
The belief in such II danger may have
come to the negro through some dis
torted rumof of Burke's crimes in
Edinburgh.
