pioyment to 81 blowers and nearly 200
other men and boys.

John +. Perry, and these representatives
OF the firm declined to give a positive an
swer until they could confer with r. Ell
mer, who was out of town. At the More
Jonas plant the committee met Martin B.
milford, and he asked for delay until he
| could bring The matter to the attention of
Richard NJ. More, who was not in town.

they could give their answers today and
! informed them that the window workers
would leave work unless the matter was
1 fayorably adjusted

matter is in the hands of the local assem-
bly,. II was intimated tonight that serious
complications would result to the entire
window trade OF the country if the local
strike occurs.

the agreements with L. a. No. 300. the
men cannot take up the troubles of the
bottle blowers without violating contracts

WANTS NEW JERSEY TO sEcEDE.
Governor Pingree's Suggested Cure
for the Trust EVIL.

Governor Pfngree's Suggested Cure
for the Trust EVIL.
New York. April 15.-At the Peoples In
stitute. Cooper Union, last night. Governor
Pingree, of Michigan, talked of the prob
lem of the trusts, and in the course of his
remarks said:
We all know that most OF the trusts
are conceived in New York, because capt.
tai is concentrated there; but it seems that
they cross the river to New Jersey to get
license to live.
DO not think that I am preiudiced if
l suggest that the trust evil might be
cured if all the other States should extend
an invitation to New Jersey to secede from
the Union. This, however, might be en-
barrassiGg just now. Our Vice President
and Attorney General are both citizens of
New Jersey.
Il am confident that the people of the
United States who are suffering from the
operations of the trust would raise no oo-
lection If New Jersey should comply with
such an invitation. | am also satisfied
that large part of the evil resulting from
trusts would no longer exist if States,
and especially New Jersey, did not grant
such liberal charters"

There is much speculation regarding the

Lincoln in His Youth,

When Mr. Lincoln was youth hardly
of age, and struggling with poverty and
privation in his effort to qualify himself
for the practice of the law, a devoted
friend went without his knowledge to
Springfield. some fifteen or twenty miles
from his residence ut that time, and on
his return said TO him: Abraham. have
procured for you a clerkship in the United
States Land Office at Springfield. which
will yield you Il good living and aaable
you to study law unvexed by debt and
want" II thank you, my friend" said
the poor youth, but | cannot accept the
place" Why not?' because / am a
Wing on principle, and as such have no
claim to Office or favor from the present
administration. | do not choose TO incur
an obligation in that quarter, and could
not take the place without mourning one.
Say to those who have offered it that

LiNCOLNiANA.
Some of the Many Wise Sayings of the
Martyred War President,


Epigram was Lincoln's way of speech.
whether in conversation or in set rhetoric.
He had a way of putting things in telling
nGggets. A few of his many notable say
ings are the following:
We cannot escape history.
Let none falter " no thinks he is right
If slavery is not wrong, then nothing is
wrong.
With malice toward none, and charity
for all.
Come what will, | will keep my faith
with friend and foe.
There is no grievance that is fit object
of redress by mob law.
All that / am, all that / hope to be. l
owe to my angel mother.
| authorize no bargains for the presi-
dency, and will be bound by none.
No man is good enough to govern an
other without the others consent.
Gold is good in its place, but living,
patriotic men are better than gold.
This country, with it's institutions, be-
longs TO the people who inhabit it.
For thirty years | have been a temper
ance man, and am too old to change.
| believe this Government cannot per-
manently endure half slave and half free.
Nowhere in the world is presented a
government of such liberty and equality.
This Government must be preserved in
spite of the acts of any man or set of
men.
Slavery is founded in the selfishness of
mans nature-oppositio to it in his love
of justice.
If live, this accursed system of rob-
berry and shame in our treatment of the
Indians shall be reformed.
In law it is good policy never to plead
when you need not, lest you oblige your
self to prove what you cannot.
Understanding the spirit of our consti-
tuition to aim at the elevation of men, /
am opposed to whatever tends to degrade
them.
The reasonable man has long since
agreed that intemperance is one of the
greatest, if not the greatest, of all evils
among mankind.
You can fool all of the people some of
the time and some of the people all Of
the time, but you can't fool all of the
people all of the time.

LINCOLN'S DEBUT IN SOCIETY.
How He Got His "lnvite" and How
He Performed,


Richard w. Thompson of Indiana has
known personally more Presidents tnan
any other man. In a conversation with
Frank G. Carpenter not long ago they
referred to Lincoln. Mr.. Thompson told
of Lincoln's early days in Congress, of
how awkward he was and how he ranked
among the foremost men at Washington
in those days.
81 was fond of Lincoln said Mr..
Thompson. I'VE were much together dur
ing his first term in Congress, and be-
lieve he made his first entrance into fash
ionable society with me. A most accom-
plished la,v from Virginia, a friend Of
mine. gave a reception early in the sea-
son. About fifty distinguished men were
invited, but Lincoln was not among the
number. | concluded he should go and
went to my friend and told her that
wanted an invitation for him, as 1 was
anxious that she should meet him. She
gave me the invitation. | remember how
Lincoln looked as he sat among the COM
pany that night. He was. you know, tall,
angular and awkward. Some time after
his presentation he became engaged in
conversation with my lady friend, taking
a seat on very low rocking chair at her
feet. As he grew interested in talking
he kept edging closer and closer to his
hostess. He was so low that his knees
almost came to his chin, and to get rid of
his legs he wrapped them one around the
other. As he grew more interested he
came so close that his knees touched the
lady's dress. and as l looked thought he
must finally end in her lap. The next day
l met my lady friend and asAed her what
she thought of Lincoln. She replied at
once: That man has elements of great
ness in him. OF all those at my house last
night | think he has the best chance of
being President of the United States
This was about ten years before he was
thought of as presidential candidate"

LINCOLN AS a LAWYER.
His Example Is Worthy of EmuIatio
by ATTORNEYS Generally.

His Example Is Worthy of Emulation
by Attorneys Generally.
Lincoln had certain rules of guidance
as a lawyer that some of our disciples of
Blackstone might proitab,y copy after
to-day. In some notes made forsa law
lecture in 1850 he says:
Discourage litigation. Persuade your
neighbors to compromise whenever you
can. Point out to them how tie nominal
winner is often a real loser-in fees, ex-
penses and waste Of time. AS a peace
maker the lawyer has a superior oppor-
tunity of being a good man. There will
still be business enough
Never stir up litigation. A worse man
can scarcely be found than one who does
this. Who can be more nearly a fend
than he who habitually overhauls the reg
lister of deeds in search of defects in
titles, whereon TO stir up strife, and put
money in his pocket? A moral tone ought
to be infused into the profession which
should drive such men out Of it,
He carried out this in his practice.
"Who was your guardian?' he asked
young man who came to him TO complain
that part of the property had been with
held. 'Enoch Kingsbury," replied the
young man.
Il know Mr.. Kingsbury," said Lincoln,
"and he is not the man to have cheated
you out of a cent, and can't take the
case, and advise you to drop the subject"
And it was dropped.
I'VE shall not take your case" he said
to man who had shown that by legal
technicality he could win property worth
$500. 'You must remember that some
things legally right are not morally
right. We shall not take your case, but

also climbed. He escaped the notice Of

he remained for six days, existing on
the bread which he had saved from his
prison fare, awaiting suitable night
TO swim unohserved TO the mainland.
He achieved this, and, arriving at Dor
chester broke into cIergyman's
house. Having Toasted himself ard
donned clerical clothes, he walked bold

police constable saw a clergyman feed

he was eating raveneusly became sus-
picious. The clergyman did not appear
in the least nonplussed Mt the consta.

out of the difficulty safely had not the
officer noticed he was wearing prison
socks. The prisoner, in the name OF
Beaumont, was sentenced 10 eight
years penal servitude on April 3, 1871,
for prison breaking and the burglary of
the clergyman's house.-London Mail
