When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure linds that be has Imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often huppens that an ill-timed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education aud rct-puctability, can alone befriend him, deluying till the constitutional symptoms 01 this horrid disease make their uppearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural pains in the head and limbs, dlmnesB of sight, dcufucss, nodes on the shin bones and amis, blotches on lh; bead, race and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at lut the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a period to his dreadlul sutienug, ny seiidlug him to " that Undiscovered Country from hcuco no traveller returus."

READ-THE FACTS I LET HIM DE.NYIT IF HE DARE I When U10 Avontlale horror, in 18G9, rousud tho public mind to tho crying ne cessities for some measures of protection for the) coal miuera, tliee pulicut toilers were in a pitiable condition indeed. Forced to work iu collieries where tim chuuees of violent death were greater than in the powduf magazine, or starve, they demand ed tht passage of a law to force their em ployers to so veuliluto the mines that a j laborer in their deadly depths miht be delivered . from the prospect of certain death ; for it Imd been shown that being killed in them was only a question of time. liefore applying for legislative relief the miners had endeavored to induces the opera tors to provide soino means of safety, or nt least of eseapu, from the horrors to which! they were exposed. The endeavor failed I Sordid capital seldom hears the wail of sorrow, and is Blow to alleviate it. This refusal showed its evil effect at once. The miners were in a sullen mood. Tho symp toms of that almost complete disorganiza tion which, ut a later period, convulsed the milling regiou, could bo seeti. Aud the time lor prompt relief, or stem deliance, had come. j Wheu the Legislature of 1870 met its at tention was at once called to lhe subject. That the Legislature felt the necessity of prompt action a referenco to the Senate Journal of 1870 will show. One day alter the Legislature met (January o.) Mr. Tur ner presented a bill entitled "An Act pro viding for tho health and safety of persons employed in coal mines." (See page 12.) Ou the 11 Hi of January the hill was refer red to the Committee 011 Mines and Mining (see page 111.) Ou Febreary 11 it was re ported, with amendments, and tho 17th was set apart for its consideration (see page 334). On February 17th, it being tho "bpecial order," the bill c.tmo before the Senite fur notion (see page 3S'J). Then the full futce of tho lobby, employ ed by tho mine owners, began to bo fell, and the work f defeating this most right eous measure begau in earnest. The tem per of tho miners was determined, and their demand was backed by a public senti ment so litiu, that to deteat the bill openly would have raised a storm of indignation few possessed the nervo to encounter. It was therefore resolved by the lobby, and its creatures in the Senate, to mutilate the bill by amendments, aud so kill it by indi rection. The bill might pass ; but its pro moters aud friends should see that, when it was passed, it was useless as a protection to tho hardy and courageous miner, and harmless as a restraint ou tho rapacious operator. Hie tact was early developed, that CHAitLws it. lifCKALEW was under iinVjubi law'Y!rt!iv, forking to defeat nients were offered to the l"luV"--to those put upon it by tho committee. Some of these are harmless enough to the casual observer, liut otheis are llagraully hostile to the spirit, aud destructive of the value of the bill. And particularly one made by Mr. Liuekalew was vitally hostile to the best part of the bill. The third sec tion is very important, and the committee, after devoting a month to an anxious con sideration of the subject, reported it as fol lows : Sec. 3. "That four months after thi passage of this uct, it shall uot bo lawful lor the owner, or agent, ot any anthracite coal mine, or colliery, worked by, or through a shall, or slope, to employ any person in working within such coal mine or colliery, for the purpose of 'vorking therein, unless there are, iu communication with every seam, or stratum of coal workeu in such coal mine or colliery, for the time being at work, at least two shafts, or slo(e8, or out lets, separated by natural strata, of not less than one hundred and lift v feet iu breadth, by which shafts, slopes, or outlets, distinct means ot ingress and egress are 11 1 ways available to the persons employed iu the coal mine, or colliery," &c. This period named, of four months, was uo chance. The miners demanded protection The owners of mines had rights. To have made it instantly unlawful to employ men because improvements, requiring some time to make, were not made, would have been unjust. Tho supply of coal must stop. The capitalist must sutler. The miner must want, perhaps starve, liut tho pressing want of the miner must be considered in conjunction with the desire of the capitalist to delay. Aud to prevent any improper, or unnecessary delay, the mine owner was forced to make the Im provements demanded by the safety of his miners in tho lime specified, or failing to do this, close his mine as a, penalty for his inhumanity. Tho lobby determined to attack the point of time named in tho third sectiou I liy defeating tho specille period tho owners of mines mmht co on lor a year ; and at the end of a year there might Iks a softeuiug of that stem public opinion which demanded protection for the sturdy delvers iu the mines. Perhaps the owners thus might escape, eutirely, tho public clamor that thev should convert these trol;;otlias of death iuto regious of comparative safety. These were the arguments or tuo loony ; aud they at ouco acted on them. Ou Feb ruary 17, Mr. Huckitlew moved and Mr. It.n.l1 1 .......... 1.1,4 thn T. .M. .1., U, r nm.in1. meut : "To strike out tho words 'four months after tho passage of this act' iu line one of section three."

Mr. Bueltalew votiug yea 1 (See Sen ate Journal 1670, page 3'JO. So thoroughly did this destroy the bill that Mr. Siney a getiiicman iu the coulldenco of tho miners, then in llarrishurg, to pass the bill for them and Senator Mutuma, who had charge of tho bill, were thoroughly discouraged. Mr. Siuey determined to go home, aud abandon what seemed a hope less elfort, aud to Ull his friends they had nothing to hope for from a Legislature con trolled by the luiue owners and that coal carrying monster, the Heading railroad. Mr. Mumnia urgod hiuj to remain, and de termined to make one more ctl'ort. lie lose In his place iu the Senata and hurled a fiery phillipic against the heads of those who, claiming to be the friends of tho work-inrvmnn.di-niud the most daiiL'erouslv situ ated class of workingmen the poor boon of security against a fearful, a horrible au; and closing, he implored hi Republican coU lenijuta to Ktand by him, nnd pass this bill as it came from tho committee, cutting off the amendments put upon It to kill it, by the creaturts of the lobby. The effect was electrical. That shrewd nnd far sighted politician, Win, A Wallace, was yet in command. lie moved about among the Democratic Senators, nud in a few mo ments forced thftn all but Handall to withdraw tho hurtful nmendmcnts, and suffer the bill, to pass. Handall clung to one amendment which is now in tho law. The com 111 it tee letl the amount of the tine for an infraction of tho law in certain sec tions open to the discretion of tho court. Mr. Handall fixed the maximum line nt $300 ! The bill did not reach tho Governor from tho Ilouso until March 3, when it was approved. Instantly a technical difficulty was raised that the law as it was passed could not go into effect for ono year. The phraseology on which these petty lawyers relied was in section 1 of the law. The section provides that each owner of a initio shall have prepared an accurate map of his mine, nnd shall tile, on thejirstwtiti oj Jan uary and July of even year hereafter, a copy of such map with the Inspector of Mines wlioio olhee is created bv this bill. The bill passed and was npproved March 3, and ns the pharsc "first of January and July" occurred in the law, therefore uo one could bo forced to make any report or do anything to secure the safely of the miners until January 1, I8d. The lobby wero jubilant. They had won by a chance I Tho very point Uuekalew had aimed at was secured ! And time had been eained. The friends of the bill believed the Su preme 1 ourt would decide that the law must bn construed in contorunty with tho intention of its framers ; but, to avoid all doubt, rt short supplement was presented u the Senate requiring the coal mine owners to prepare their mines in accord ance with the requirements of the law with in four months from its passase. Mil. liUCKALKW AGAIN' CAMS FORWARD AS THE KXKMV OK TII12 MIXERS ! When Sen ator Howard presented the supplement Mr. uucltalew nntt Mr. iiroadliead moved to amend it ns follows : "2'icif the limitation of four month, contained in sectiou 3 of the net to which this is a supplement, is hereby rcKindia and the siiaits, slopes or outlets therein provided for shall be prosecuted and mude WITH ALL REASONABLE DILI GENCE," &c. Tho supplement, loaded down with Duckalew's directly antagonis tic amendment, passed the Senate, ibe House reluscd to pass it. A commutes of conference was ordered. Jittckalew teas on the mmmittee. And on the 7th of April he came iuto the. Senate raid moved "that the committeo of conferences existing between the two Houses in relation to billXo. 18W5. entitled "A supplement that an net provid ing for the health nnd safety of persons employed in coal mines, approved lhe 3d day of March, 1870," be dischakged FKOMTIIE FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF the surtJECT !" (See Semite Journal of 1870, p. 1180.) The supplement was there fore killed by being amended to death by Charles It. liuckalew. Thus wo traced Mr. Kuekalew os tho stealthy enemy of the miners iu their effort to procure safely from sudden nnd horribln death ; the creature aud tool of corporate capital and selfishness ; the pettifogger to discover a flaw which by technical strain- w - -1 I, r,,n rt,irkrit0 , ., .1 . ' tlio expense, it might be, of many lives. The persistent foo to the ratification of this llaw ; and the cold-hearted, pulseless thing, who coutemptously asks to be relieved from the "further consideration" of so trivial a subject as the safety of lhe lives of a few tens of thousands of coal miners ! Men who work deep in tho gloom of tho collie ries to earn bread for yourselves, your wives, nnd your children ! ho'.v will you treat this heartless man 'i IX OLD STORY It is perhaps too much to expect that tho Frees will admit candidly that its charges against General Hartranft have been utter ly and completely refuted. Such an net might be suicidal, liut it was reasonable to suppose that it would refrain from "damnable iteration" of falsehoods which are known by the whole comniuuily to have tnat cnaractur. And yet tins morn ing it returus to its old accusation through tho medium of a letter which was probably written In its own otlice, aud makes the following charges : That General Hartranft is responsible for the Evans defalcation that the legislative committee appointed to investigate tho matter censured Hartranft in the severest manner ; that tho siukin fund has l'en robbed ; nnd that Hartranft Was in league with Geary in the Evans business. There is something inexpressi bly impudent iu this continued reference to the Evans robbery by the Trtss. The very investigating committee which is quoted by tbat lournai saui, in us report : "We nre unablo to nrrive nt any reliable data as to the disposition of tho whole of the commissions withheld by Evans. He testifies thnt ho is without property of a..y kind, and that he paid his debts and ex penses with these moneys. D. C. Forney admits that Evans paid hiiu So, 000 out of the commissions, and swears that ho iiau a contract for 210,000 thereof. Evans swears that the sum ;at(i Furnetj was 80,' 000." And amons the testimoney presented in the same report was the following evidence from Evans Inmselt : "I think 1 am indebted to Colonel John W. Forney, more than any other man, lor tho cudorse.uent to tho Governor, and per Inps also to several geutlemcn with whom I hnvc no personal acquaintance, but who were persuaded trom tlio recommenuaiiou of Colonel Forney that I was a proper per son to be appointed agent." John V. Forney, editor of tho Press, also admitted that he had received two thousand dollars of the money alluded to in tho above extract. It is therefore indecent for tho Press to recall this Evans caso daily, and to usa it to blackou the character of General Hartranft, especially ns tho For neys still retain their share of tho stolen money, after having placed Evans whero ho could take it, and having striven desper ately to save him from punishmeut. liut the slmmelessncss of this conduct is quite equal by the persistence with which the Press asserts that Gen. Hartranft was a party with Geary to the Evans fraud, nnd that the Legislative committee fastened the guilt upon hiui. Every man iu the State who knows anything about tho case is aware that Geary and the Forney ring con ducted the Evans robbery secretly, nnd that as soon as lhe crime came to the light, General ilurtranft did his very best to compel Evans to make restitution. Evans would never have been arrested but for General Hartraufl, nnd his prosecutor was due effort of thnt officer ; while it iscertaiu that the persecution of Hartranft by tho Forneys is intended as au act of veugeance directed against the faithful Auditor-Gen-ral for his determined conduct in this ease. The Legislative committee so far from de nouncing Uen. ilarttaim, and declaring him responsible for the Evans-Forney rob bery, wholly 'exOrnerated him. It scid in fact : "On the 29th of Fcbrunry, 1872, n resolu tion nnd preamble In, reference to a com munication in the new York Tribrm of the preceding day, wero referred to this committee, in lime communication cer tain resolutions wore quoted which reflect ed upon John F. Hartranft, Auditor-Gen eral, nnd H. W. Mackoy, Male Treasurer, and made specific charges against them In their official capacity. It was made our duty to investigate these charges, nnd to ascertain the facts atlcuding the introduc tion of the said resolution, and the publi cation of the same. We have ascertained that the resolutions referred to in the com municntion to the Tribune wero prepared by Strnhnn, counsel of Evans, Evans him self or Dr. William Fuine, one of his bail. and that they jointly attempted to procure their introduction into and pnssago by tho House of Itepresentatites and Senate ; that tne lucts charged in the resolutions recit in that communication are untrue ; that in pursuauee of this inquiry we called before us nil of the witnesses whose testimony seemed likely to throw any light upon the transactions charged ; that several commu nications have appeared in the New York Situ nnd New York 'Tribune reflecting upon tho ollieials before named and other persons in aprivalo enpacity ; that these have been bnscd upon as data cither furnished by Dr. Win. l'aine or some other friend of (Jennie O. Evans, and that upon careful inquiry of .....- ,i. ..... r... , .1. . 1 r n uuui-oca uuuvi uuui ue uuu llllllf U1C HJ1C- cilic charges made iu said communication arc not true. All of which is respectfully submitted. JAMES Ij. (iltAHAM, Wm. A. Wallace, IIauky White, Committee on the part of tlu Senate, D. X. White, A. C. Xoyks, I. L. Hewitt, J. D. Hancock, li. A. McCoxnell, Committee on tho part of tho House." As for the charge that tho sinking funds has been used tor improper purposes, it may refer to tho report of Messrs. Lewis & Shailcr, who declare that such is not the case. Xo man who has possession of his ccnse3 can venture to believe that an asser tion of tho I've? can out-weigh the testi mony of these gentlemen. If tho conduc tors of the l'RKss have a spark of deceuey left they will cease discussing this matter in tho fashion to which wo have alluded. There is but one thing they can ever say about the Evans caso th-At will uot excite the disgust of is community. It is to an nounce that Mr. Forney has given his share of tho plunder back to tho Treasury, mat no deeply regrets having placed ivans in olliee so that he might rob the State, and that he is sorry that the hatred excited by General Hartranfi's prosecution of Evans, and by the fear of a thorough investigation in case ot llartrautt's election, impelled him to heap falsehood aud slander upon that worthy ollieer.

FLXDGCS GIVEN TO KESTOHE THE LATE HEBKI.S TO rOWBIt. tneky. nn the 2d hist., General Hode, Democratic Elector 101 iiic otato at large, spoke cs follows : '1 navo devoted a hie timo to the princi ples ot the Democratic party. 1 have rown gray in the advocacy ot those prin ciples, and each year the conviction has grown deeper that its ftindimental princi ples nre the true touudatiou-stoues ot this Government. 1 have seen upon the battle Held thousands throw away their lives in defense of these principles. The graves of the gallant boutlicru dead who sleep uuder every hill-side in tho South, over whose graves the night winds sigh, are reminders to me of the love for these principles which still linger iu my heart. The second pas- sago in Mr. Greeley's letter means that Joliu C. lireekinridge and other chivalrous sons of the South shall bo restored to their former positions of power and influence. Looking back upon the once shattered and fruitless hopes of tho South, I now see that the equal rights and sovereignity of States shall be roslored, and my comrades of tho lost cause have not died in vain. This will be a victory for that for which they fought. Mr. Greeley promised to do all ho could to aid us when wo get a majority iu Congress. 1 object to Grant because he is a Republi can ; because he is a member ot that party which waged successfully the contest against my brethreu of the South, whose orators kept the fires burning that rilled the Federal ranks with soldiers. I have heard it said by some that the Iemoeratic party shall have no part with Mr. Greeley in lhe couquesl; but 1 feel that they will not be ueglected. Not only will Greeley not forget who has helped him to his posi tion, but pledges direct pledges have been given lis by him that wu shall not be forgotten in case of success." Colonel U. C. 1'. lircckiuridgo said nt the sainu meeting : "Our part of this bargain is to ivo tho Liberal l.cpubliians our voles, in order to enab'.S them to succeed in the uuderlasiug. Their pai I of tht! bargain is to restore to power the now disfranchised sons of the South, t ) drive out of tho Icmpel these van dals and thieves, and to restore you, Demo crats, to their positions. I hey are to give you, men of the South, those places which the men ol tho uommaul party now noid. 1 don't care a picayune fur Jlurace (irctley. or whut he has said, lie represents Vie dawn of a new era to us, an era Vmt will restore us to power. Will that uot be ticUjry enough for ust It may be, in tho words oi'a friend lVoiu Woodford, lSlackburu, "that Greeley is purgatory, but Graut is hell." Tho electiou of Greeley also menus that the Federal soldiers, who now stand us a per pr.tuul menace of the South, shall be re moved. 1 am tired of seeing them here. They have no business here. This is not tho place for them. I don't want to vote any longer under a shadow of bayonets. 1 want them out West, where they ought to be." liuckalew' Uecord. The Philadelphia Bulhtin of Thursday, of last week, says on Tuesday uight Mr. liuckalew made a speech at Lancaster, lu which ho undertook to defeud the acts of his Congressional career, aud to explain away lhe charge, so often mado against him, that he was in sympathy with the rebels and the rebelliou, and was the con sistent opponent of every measure devised by loyal men for the protection of the Government, liut Mr. liuckalew did not j by any meaus cover the wholo ground iu his remarks. .rue re were mauy puuuu ncU of his to which he made no reference whatever, because he dared not speak of them, knowing loom to in wnouy inueien sible. We may cataloguo a few of them hero, so tbat loyal men may know some thing of the record of this person who as pires to become the Governor of tho Stata which did such good and valient servico agaiust those rebels for whom Mr. liucka lew Imd such warm alfeclioti. While iu Congress Mr. liuckalew voted against the Fifteenth Amendment to tha Constitution of tho United States ; against the repeal cf the iulatnous Fugiiivo Siava law ; against establishing the Frecdmen's Bureau ; against a Civil Kights bill, which secured equality before tho law to all men of every color, and ho voted for a constitu tional amendment prohibiting negroes from becoming citizens of tho United States. He voted Against paying bounties to volun teers," against giving black soldiers tho same pay us white soldiers ; against tho conscription law ; against payment of tho "emergency men" called out'to defend his own State, and ho voted for paying rebel slave-owners for slaves drafted or received into the armies of tho United States. Ha opposed the National banking net, and tho nduption of a uniform system of bankrupt cy. He voted against tho reconstruction nets and the supplements thereto ; ngainst the resolution excluding from the Elector al College the vole of the States not yet or ganized, nnd against n resolution provid ing that neither House of Congress should admit Senators and representatives from the llebel States until Cougress should have declared such Stato entitled to repre sentation. These tire but a few illustrations of tho character of a career which was marked by personal opposiiion to every measure ap proved or devised by the loyal peoplo of the country, and by consistent support of every scheme wiucli could help tho causo of his rebel friends. All through that long and desperate struggle with the confeder acy Mr. liuckalew had no word of cheer for the armicj and the people of tho North, but always, whether in tho halls of Con gress, or in secret conference with tho re bel conspirators nt Niagara Falls, he did all that was in his power to do to help tho Southern leaders and to embarrass their opponents. This is the man who is the rival of John F. Hartranft, tho brave sol dier and faithful civil oflieer, as nn aspir ant to the Chief Magistracy of tho State. We refuse to believe that Pennsylvania will reject one who helped to save the Un iou anil honor 0110 who strove so desperate ly to destroy it.

A correspondent of tho Ohio Farmer says : Noticing in your paper an article, "Mow to make a barrel of applo butter," I will give my plan : "Soou as the cider brought from the press, wa proceed to boil it down as quickly ns pos sible to avoid fermentation, but instead of beginning to fill in with apples wheu half boiled, and stirring with a paddle twenty hours, we continue tho boiling process till it is all boiled down to a good sirup, say about five gallons into one, which can bo poured out into a wood or stoue vessel, and will ke.p if not ready to make up immedi ately. The evening previous to making up, with tho assistauco of our men folks, wa pare nud core our apples, which we stew in a little sweet cider if we have it, other wise, water or soma of the boiled cider weakened down. When the apples aro cooked soft, we commence stirring, adding tho boiled cider as fast as it will bear, four bushels ol apples being finite sufficient for thirty-two gallons of cider. Three hour brisk boiling with constant stirring will make it strong enough to keep a year if desired." . m Pni'NixG. Many fruit-growers prune too much, cutting away all the low branch es, so us to leave tho tree with a tall, slen der, naked stem, fully exposed to all exces ses ot heat and cold, dryness and dampness, lt a tree be allowed to have its own way, and it will be surrounded in summer with a breast of foliage. The lower branches and spray will break the force of winds iu winter. The objection that low branches are a hindrance to plowing is only auother rea son w hy they should bo suffered to remain. Among tho" maDy enemies of fruit trees uone arc more destructive and remorseless than the plow. It does incurable mischief by breaking roots, bruising bark nnd muti lating blanches. A plow ought never pass nearer to a fruit tree than the tips of its lowest branches. Let the spade be used In loosening the soil, and removing lhe grass close about the truuk. A gardener onco planted an extra-sized Seckel pear tree, with a long, pokerisl stem, for which nu extra price was paid, with tho hope that it would yield largo aud immediate returns. A neighbor's cow strolled in at the open gate, nnd gave au abrupt lesson as tree culture, by snapping oir the long bean-pole of a Scckel about two feet from tho ground. The tree's owner tried to le resigned to this vandalism. The tree itself was more than resigned; it was glad of it. In the Bpriug it mado haste, to repair its shattered fortunes by throw ing out a circle of vigorous shoots, and. forming a round, compact head, near euough to the gound to withstand tha violence of high ind, and proving by its anuual and abundant crops that a mnraud ing cow's accidental pruning ir.ay be mora philosophical tint is that of men who-boast of the'r skill nnd careful observation. A Bkautifi'L young lady who had al lowed iho tendrils of her heart to twina fondly around a conductor on a horse car had her affectionate nature crushed by tha discovery that ho was taking fur from her and dead-heading another girl who lived on the same street. She did uot pine a wny, but wrote him an affectionate epistle, which read : " You want to nok do wu enull'stampa to get mo a palsier shawl Sc a dolley vardin before suuday, or 1 will put an awninf over that girl eve the next time I meet her in society, You heer me."
