Pkospect or Trouble wrrn Mexico.
Unless prompt measures be taken with
regard to tbe continued raids on the Texas
border, the United States and Mexico
may become involved in serious difficulties.
There is uo doubt the Mexican Govern
ment, as it has repeatedly informed our
own in reply to frequent protests, is anx
ious for the removal of all causes that
could possibly produce a conflict of arms
between the two countries, but the border
being far from the capital, it cannot exer
cise its desired control over the .Northern
States of that Republic. Two years ago
the Mexican Government protested against
the invasion of its soil by General Macken
zie in pursuit of Mexican raiders, but our
government could make no ameuds, and
did uot censure that officer, considering
that the pursuit was justified by circum
stances.

naval appliances as a necesity may demand.

Our readers may be unacquainted with
the fact that Philadelphia has a military
organization at tbe present time which an
tcdatestbe Declaration of independence.
The Philadelphia Inquire gives the follow
ing account of this venerable organization
which participated in the Banker Hill cele
bration :
"It was appropriate that tbe First Troop
of this city should be present at and par
fn.ot in thu recent celebration ot .the
battle of Bunker Hill.
This venerable organization not only
antedates the declaration of Independence
but also Bunker hill, Concord and Lexing
ton.
Springing as it did out of the most heroic
tmnnicai nf Ik neriod. it enrolled in its
ranks many of the foremost men of the city.
UJ UUIOV J W w-- I
Through the struggle for Independence
it nnt nnlv nlw.ivn readv for duty, but
was conspicuous for patriotism and sell-
sacrifice. From that period to inis pomi,
it has maintained its plaee in the confidence
of the people, and it is one of the inatitu
Uous of which Philadelphia is proud.
Without a break in the historic line of suc
cession and without a stain upon its es
cutcheon, it presents itself in these centen
uial times as one of the noblest organiza
tions bequeathed to us by tbe revolutionary
period. Appreciating all this, Philadel
phia was especially desirous that this body
of citizen soldiers shouid represent her at
the Bunker Hill celebration.
The Troop met the expectation of the
people, and appeared at Boston with full
ranks, and the old Revolutionary standard
carried at Trenton, Priuceton, Brandy
wine and Germanlown.
Honors were showered upon them at
every point, and although declining tender
ed hospitalities from the military of Boston
the command was forced to accept some of
tbe civilities offered. The Bunker Hill
Monument Association requested them to
be iu guests. The Summerset Club, com
posed of the first men of the city, extended
to the entire company the privileges of tbe
club house, and gave the members a most
cordial welcome. The Loyal legion in
vited the officers and men to its grand re
ception, where tbe most distinguished
recognized, and tbe reception given the
corps amounted to an ovation."
We are likely to hear of the grasshopper
depredations in a- uew quarter, this year.
It is said that within a few days fields of
graiu iu Nebraska and Iowa have been
destroyed, mainly within a belt of country
a hundred miles wide on each side of the
Missouri river. In many places the air
was filled with them, flying with the wind,
aud iu the sunlight looking like floating
snowfiakes. The young corn just sprout
ing has suffered most, but the farmers hope
to repair much of the damage by replant
ing. Wheat and oats have also been injur
ed, but only to a limited extent In no
country is it estimated that the loss will
aggregate more than one-fourth of tbe
growing crops, while the average loss will
not amount to more than five per cent
Southwestern Iowa, Southeastern Dakota
and Northwestern Nebraska seem to be
tbe objective points of the migrating hords,
although chaoges of wind may drive them
as far as Minnesota and Eastern Iowa,

the hope that uo serious damage will be
done at any one point FitUburij Ga
xetU. Senator Cameron. Mr. M'Clure,
through the Philadelphia Timet, with the
assistance of his coterie of disorganizers,
followed by the Democratic party, who for
the past ten years have been playing second
fiddle to any clement of faction of discord
in the Republican party, have endeavored
and will continue the eflort throughout tbe
campaign, to produce tbe impression that
the nomination of Mr. Rawle was the re
sult of tbe ring manipulations of Senator
Cameron. The decisive majority of Mr.
Rawle on the second ballot, together with
the entire harmony of tbe Convention
throughout all its proceedings, ought aud
will be a sufficient contradiction to any
such assertion: It Is probable that Senator
Cameron had, as was his right, a prefer
ence among the names presented before the
Convention, but that it was the lesult of
any unworthy motive, or that this opiniou
was pressed upon dulegates to the (Conven
tion in a dishonorable manner, is certainly
false. We doubt very much whether a
dozen delegates to tbe Convention ever
knew what Senator Cameron's preference
was unless they believed what Alec. M'
Clure said ou this subject which is doubt
ful. We have not the slightest hesitation
in saying that if it had been generally un
derstood that M'Clure favored the nomina
tion of one man and Cameron another,
other things being equal, Via Cameron can
didate Kouhl carry any Republican Concen
tltn rit!tfut a respertable opposition. The
difference between the two men being that
Senator Cameron has always been a con
sistent, active Republican, working p sea
son and out for the benefit of his party and
the advancement of the interest of his
State, while the other acknowledges allegi
ance to no party or interests other than
that of Alec M'Clure. The fact is that
Mr. Rawle was nominated as the honest
choice of the Convention, and Senator
Cameron will cheerfully support his choice
whether it was his first or not. Ik in never
found outside the ranks, aud tbe Republican
pally MN always rely upon his unqualified
support whether f.hejr pominatlons accord
with his ylews or not Ifontiu? Republi

have been stolen from Texas by Mexican
raiders since .January lit.

Dovlestown. Bucks county, is the scene.
The priest of St Mary's Catholic Church
decided to raise the price of pews, and
sme of the members of tbe church refused
to comply with his commands, doubtless
thinking that a reduction m price, not an
advance, was the proper thing during
these hard times. But the priest was
not to be put off with a denial. And the
better to force his demands, and impress
bis parishioners with the idea that he
meant business, he caused the pews of those
who resisted the increase to be nailed up.
Sunday came and brought the development
of the scheme. But it didn't work worth a
cent For some of the excluded members
ilptihcratHlv nrooeeded to tear open their

tempt to keep them out The affair crea

resolved itself into an assistant Democratic
convention at Harrishurg on Wednesday,
nominated Robert Audley Brown, of Law'
rence county, for governer, and Eligah F.

The platform consisting of one whereas and
eighteen resolutions, is a good deal more
extensive than the party.. It is exceeding
ly dry reading to any but a prohibitionist
But that is their way ; we could support
any proper efforts, such as might be calcu
lated to subserve the cause of temperance,
but the action of the prohibitionists this
year is the same as that of last year, and
it resulted in giving the Democrats the
power to repeal the local option law.

have determined to seek fresh fields and
pastures new, and are passing in vast flocks
toward the Northwest, passing over a wide
expanse of country, and leaving the human
mind in wonder as to what is to become of
them. Parasites infest them, and it is said
that those insidious evils have so fixed
themselves to the bodies of the locust that
the latter cannot expect a very prolonged
existence. In fact their days are number
ed, and they will soon be victims of their
enemies. After all that has been said in
relation to the locusts it appears that the
destruction has been much less than was
expected ; that wide areas of the territory
threatened escaped their visits altogether,
and that where they did settle there is hope
that, by replanting, an average crop may
yet be gathered.

Severe Earth Nliaklng.
Cincinnati. June 19. Reports from
Urbana, Sidney, aud other towns in South
western Ohio, state that at about 11 o'clock j
yesterday morning there was quite a severe
shaking of the earth in that region. In
Sidney the greater part of the shelving in
a drug store was thrown to the floor.
A large number of buildings were shaken
very preceptibly, cracking the walls and
tbe inhabitants, alarmed, ran out of their
houses into the streets. A large steam
boiler was moved nearly a foot from its
original position. The earthquake was
also very generally fult at Indianapolis.
THE EFFECT AT VARIOUS POINTS.
Indianapolis, June 19. A slight shock
of earthquake was felt here yesterday
morning. Buildings were shaken to a con
siderable extent, and in some instances
windows rattled.
The following reports will show the effect
at various other points in this State and in
Ohio:
At Anderson. Ind.. a strong shock was
felt, shaking all buildings in town ; at Jef
fersonville, Ind., it was felt quite sensibly ;
at Vincennes, Ind., the shock was very
heavy ; at Anna, Ohio, six miles north of
Sidney, on the Dayton and Michigan rail
road, it cracked all the house walls, knock
ed down chimneys and disturbed goods on
shelves in stores.
No reports of loss of life have yet been
received. At DeGrafT, Ohio, the shock
was very strong, jarring buildings to their
foundations. At Urbana, Ohio, buildings
wero swayed so that they could be seen to
move. At Chicago, a slight shock was felt
in various parts of tbe city, between the
hours of nine and ten in the morning,
no damage was done in any quarter.

PAUL SCIIOEPPE.
THE WILL OF MISS STEIN EC KE IN THE
BALTIMORE COURTS IT IS DECLARED
A FRAUD AND A FORGERY.
Baltimore, June 20. In the Orphans'
Court yesterday, in the case of Paul
Schoeppe on a petition to revoke the pro
bate of a will of Miss Maria M. Steinecke,
deceased, and letters testamentary granted
thereunder, Carlisle, Pa., between the tes
tatrix and Schoeppe, entitling him to her
entire estate, Judge Ingles delivered the
opinion of the court that tbe petition bad
failed to prove the marriage alleged, and
that the document) produced by him to
establish it were forged. After the death of
Miss Steinecke.in January, 18C9, Paul Scho
eppe was indicted, tried and convicted on
a charge of causing her death by prussic
acid at Carlisle, Pa. Afterward, under a
special act of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
be was granted a new trial, which resulted
in his acquitaL In October, 1872, Scho
eppe filed his petition in the Orphans'
Court in this city. In March of last year
tbe case was taken up and, after a trial ex
tending over three weeks, in which a large
number of witnesses from Baltimore and
elsewhere were examined, was submitted.
In the course of the trial a certified record
of the Police Court of Berlin was produced
showing that Schoeppe had been convicted
in a Berlin (Germany) court of the three
crimes of larceny, forgery and extortion.
Schoeppe is now serving a term in the Illi
nois State Prison at Joliet, having been
convicted in Chicago of forgery, under the
name of J. P Schulenberg.

LAROE FIRE IN DUBLIN.
Dublin, June 18 Midnight A fire
broke out to-night in the excise bond
stores, which contained 1800 puncheons of
whisky. There was a series of tremendous
explosions, and the flames spread rapidly
to the adjoining buildings, and the burning
liquor flowed into the streets and ignited
the whole neighborhood. From fifteen to
twenty buildings on Ardee, Mill and
Chambers streets are in flames. Vast
crowds surround the burning district
The mob rolled several barrels of whisky
out of the stores, and are helping themselves
to the contents. The police are mustering
in force and the troops have beeu ordered
out to preserve order.
Dublin, Juno 191 o'clock A. M.
The fire is unabated. The destruction is
very great and the loss is now estimated
at half a million dollars.
STILL BURNING FIERCELY.
Dublin. June 19 A. M. At this hour
the fire is still burning as ficrcly as ever.
The liquor carries the flames in every di
rection. Water is of no avail, for it only
causes the burniug liquor to spread
The fire brigade tore up the pavements
and attempted to smother the fire in the
streets with sand and manure, but they
have only succeeded in isolating it The
crowds are collecting the floating whisky
in pails, dippers and hats.

FRUIT MARKETING.
San Francisco, June 3, 187.",
STOCKS.
Chicago gambles in wheat and corn.
New York in gold and railroads, San
Francisco in Mining Stocks. Every man,
woman and child in this city, almost, buys
and sells stocks, and tbey get up as heavy
an excitement oyer it as the gold and rail
road stock gamblers do in New York.
The lady of the house takes her chances
in Ophir and consolidated Virginia, which
are high priced stocks, and the cook in her
kitchen takes a shy at Foarmon Leapard
or any of the little stocks which cost only
from 50 cents to $1.50 per share. If the
stocks go up, madam indulges in diamonds
and silks, and the kitchen girl immediately
sports a new calico dress on their win
nings: if they go down well, I don
know what they do in that case. The way
STOCKS ARE MANIPULATED
may not be altogether uninteresting to your
readers. It runs about this way. A mine
is discovered, or rather a location is taken
which gives promise of a mine. It is nam
ed we will Bay Golconda, and a company
is at once formed to develop it The
ownership is divided into one hundred
thousand shares and par value of each share
is made $10.00. Of these shares the orig
nal proprietors keep in their own names
00,000, aud place 40,000 in the market, the
proceeds of which are to be used in "devel
oping" tbe property, which means openin
the mine and finding if there is ore therein,
and if so, putting in all the machinery ne
cessary to the working of it. It will be
observed that the original projectors have
not put a dollar of their own money in it.
All comes from the purchasers of the 40
000 shares.
Now, we will suppose that a rich bed of
ore is really found. Immediately machi
nery is put in the ore is taken out, immense
profits are made, and the stock mounts up
from $10, its original value, to $50, $75,
$100, and in some cases $400 and $500, and
tm Mt.uaK iiutaci- or the -40,iiuu stiarcs
dream golden dreams. But mind, the half
dozen originals hold a majority of the
stock, and as they act together they control
it Of them are the officers of the Compa
ny. They form the Board of Directors,
and Smith is President, Jones Treasurer,
aud Thompson, Secretary. When the
stock is up to the highest point it can be
got, say $300, then comes a change. The
shipments of ore decrease, and finally stop
altogether. Rumors get abroad that the
vein has given out and that to prosecute
the work an assessment will be soon made,
and the stock drops, drops, drops, till a
panic strikes it and it goes down by terrific
leaps till it strikes tbe original $10, or per
haps lower than that Of course the origi
nal six buy it all in. When it gets low
enough ore is found again, and up it goes.
Aud this game they play over aud over
again, the deluded public being always the
victim, because the six controlling meu
bold the cards in their own hands. The
value of the stock depends of course entire
ly ou the production ; tbey can make it
produce or not, as tbey choose.
Ophir
is just now the football, and it is being
manipulated in the interest of the ring that
has the Bank of California for its centre.
The par value of Ophir is $50 it bas been
up within a year to $475, and down to $12.
Sharon & Ralstou who owns it have made
millious out of the rise and fall" of tbe stock,
and to this day no one but themselves
know whether it has any value or not.
Even rich mines that are not made mere
stock speculating machines of the original
owners make euormous fortunes ; for they
let all tie contracts tor supplies to them
selves, aud the way they bleed the stock
holders is a8tonishiug. But the stocks are
only for well-to-do people to gamble with,
Biddy in the kitchen aud Johu on the dray
can be accommodated as well as the rich
people on Van Weis Avenue. And for
people with very small means there are
stocks to be gambled in.
KANGAROO MINE,
for instance, is discovered and put upon
the market at the nominal price of $1.00
per share. Reports are circulated of the
richness of the mine, of its wouderful pros
pects, and the certainty of its becoming a
second Ophir ; and John on the dray and
Biddy in the kitchen, invest their bard
earned dollars. Now tbe Kangaroo may
be a myth, there may be no mine, no ore,
no company, for that matter, but Kanga
roo shares, despite all that have a value in
the market, and they go up and down just
the same as consolidated Virginia or any
other stock that turns out $100,000 of ore
per week. Nobody knows anything about
it ; those who buy have no idea where it is
located, or that it has any value or even
existence ; but a share :s a share, and it
sells.
There will be an item in the newspapers
some morning, that the developments in
the Kangaroo slock goes up from $1 to $10,
and certain men ranzs about the street
wanting to buy all they can get of it at that
price. Seeing that these mining experts
want to by, Biddy and John want, to buy,
and they do buy, but the experts do not.
Those who are talking buy, are, really,
through their brokers, selling at the price
that the clamor has made. It is a very
pretty game, wheu they have used all the
poor dupes will buy, they simply let it go,
and Kangaroo fades out of public sight, and
becomes one of the things that were. The
people pocket their losses, and the opera
tors begiu engineering another swindle of
the same sort, which they carry throngh
the same way.
Of course just enough outsiders make
money in these things to encourage people
to keep continually going in. Now and
then a man who buys a dollar, has sense
enough to sell when it reaches ten, and the
money made in operating is enough to set
a thousand wild. And this thousand are
the people the sharks are after, and they
get them every time ; there is no mistake
about it, they gobble them.
But the game goes on just the same,
everybody gambles in stock, men aud wo
men. It bas always been so from the time
the mines were first stocked. In the East
you hear ladies discussing book3, pictures,
and music, with occasional dashes at the
theatre and opera. Here they discuss
stocks, everybody has a stock-list, and
everybody has shares. Aud everybody,
but the rings that control the stock, and
the brokers who get their per cent for hand
ling it, lose the money they put in.
FRUIT.
San Francisco is better supplied with
fruit than any city on the continent The
southern coast supplies it with oranges,
lemons, and- limes. Strawberries ripen
here ten months in the year. New pota
toes are always in the market, as also are
peas, asparagus, and in fact all the vegeta
bles. Apples come here from Oregon.
Grapes grow here to a size and flavor un
known elsewhere : in short there is not a
fruit known in tbe temperate zone or the
tropics, that you cannot find in the markets
here. It is a beautiful sight, the markets ;
there is every fruit and every flower that
you can think of or imagine exposed for
sale, and at very reasonable prices. Straw
berries are always high in price, for when
ever tbey get down below 12 cts. a quart,
they are canned for export,
California itself produces everything, and
pardon me an Irishism what it does not
produce, Oregon, on the one hand, Mexico
on the other, and tho islands in the Pacific,
supply. I think you shall see more kinds
of fruits and vegetables in tbe markets of
San Francisco than in any city in the
world. The tropics meet the temperate
zones at this spot, and you get all the pro
ducts of both. This state of things make
marketing.
quite different from what it is East You
can have fresh trout from the sierra brooks,
cod aud bass from the sea, the juicy steaks
of ranch-fed cattle, fattened on alfalfa,
and the wonderfully sweet mutton
of the foothills, game of every descrip
tion, elk and bear steak, delicious mussels,
shrimps, and oysters, offer variety of meats
and fish enough to satisfy the most capri
cious.
California has every delicacv known to
the eastern States and a thousand that the
eastern States have not. In point of vaiie
ty of production it is simply wonderful.
Of course all these things are not procura
ble without labor, but he who labors can
have them. The strawberries and oranges
won't grow without planting and care, and
the fish don't come out of the sea, asking
vbu to nut them on a gridiron. But it is
all here, and labor will bring it

THREE POINTS FOK CONSIDERA
TION.
During the past fire years the VEGETIXEhas
"been steadily working itaelf into public favor.
and those who were at nrst most incredulous la
regard to its merits are now its most ardent
rrfcua irad auuiiuitcra.
There are three essential causes for those hay.
lag such a horror of patent medicines, changing
tbeir opinion and lending their influence toward
the advancement ot VEGETINE. 1st It Is an
honestly-prepared medicine from barks, roots
and herbs. 2d It honestly accomplishes all
that is claimed for it, without leaving any bad
effects in the system. 3d It presents honest
vouchers in testimonials from boucit, well-known
citizens, whose signatures are a sufficient guar
antee of their earnestness in the matter. Tak
ing into consideration tbe vast quantity of medi
cine orougnt conspicuously before the public
through the naming advertisements in tbe news
paper col urns, with no proof of merit or genuine
vouchers or wnai it na done, we should be par
doned for manifesting a small degree of pride in
presenting the following testimonial from Rev.
J. S. DICKERSON, D. D.. the popular and ever
genial pastor of the South Baptist Church, Bos
ton :
The Tired Body Sues for Sleep.
Boston, March 17. 1874.
H. R. Stevens, Esq. :
Dear Sir It Is as much from a sense of duty
as of gratitude that I write to say that your
VEGETINE even if it Is a patient medicine
has been of great help t me when nothing else
seemed to avail which I could safely use. Either
excessive mental work or unusual care brings
upon me a nervous exhaustion that desperately
needs sleep, but as desperately defies it. Night
after night the poor, tired body sues for sleep
until the day-dawn is welcomed back, and we
begin our work tired out with an almost fruit
less chase after rest. Sow I have found that a
little VEGETINE taken just before I retire gives
me sweet and Immediate sleep, and without any
of the evil effects of the usual narcotics. I think
two things wonld tend to make brain-workers
sleep. 1st A little less work. 2d A little more
VEGETINE. This prescription helped me.
Now I have a particular horror of "patent
medicine,' but I have a greater horror of being
a fraid to tell the straght out truth. Tbe VEGE
TINE ha helped me, and I own it up.

Valuable Evidence.
Tbe following unsolicited testimonial from
Rev. O. T. WALKER, D. D., formerly paster of
Bowdoin Square Church, and at present settled
in Providence, R. I., must be esteemed as 'relia
ble evidence.
No one should fail to observe that this testi
monial is tbe result of two years' experience
with tbe use of V EGETINE In tbe Rev. Mr.
Walker's family, who now pronounces it inval
uable :
Pkovidencx, R. I., lfri Transit Street.
H. R. Stivers, Esq. :
I feel bound to express with my signature the
high value I place upon your VEGETINE. My
family have used It for the last two years. In
nervous debility it is invaluable, and I recom.
mend to all who may need an invigorating, re
novating tonic.

Dear Sir We have good rranon for regarding
your VEGETINE a medicine of the greatest
value. We feel assured that it has been the
means of saving oar son's life. He is now
seventeen years af age ; for the last two years
be has suffered from necrosis of his leg. caused
by scrofulous affection, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his re
covery Impossibly. A council of able physicians
could give us but the faintvM hope of his ever
rallying, two of tbe number declaring that he
was beyond the reach of human remedies, that
even amputation could not save him, as he bad
not vigor enough to endure the operation. Just
then we commenced giving him VEGETINE, and
lrom l oat time to toe preseut he bas been con
tinuously improving. He has lately resumed his
studies, thrown away crutches and cane, and
walks about cheerfully and strong.
Though there is still some discharge from the
opening where tho limb was lanced, we have the
fullest coutidence that in a little lime Le will be
perfectly cured.
