Orthell Chandler lived in the beautiful brownstone mansion on the corner of street and Fifth avenue. Stand ine at the head of the New York bar, with an already princely fortune accumulated, he not only held an enviable position in society, but exercised a powerful influence in the business werld. In consequence of his close atten tion to business, he Lad contracted the false habit of measuring men by dollars. Mrs. Chandler's proud na ture conformed to the same princi ple in her choice of society. They had but one child, upon whom they lavished all the affection that could exist in their cold na tures. Eugenia Chandler, the beautiful, affectionate and warm-hearted girl of eighteen summers, would have never been taken for the child of Or thell Chandler, and, notwithstanding the teaching and influences around her, she retained a noble spirit of concession, being modest and re tiring. Wilbur Lockwood, the correspon ding clerk of the law firm of Chand ler & Corning, was a young man of prepossessing appearance and high moral standing. The possession of a tine business talent had won him the confidence and esteem of the firm. His position necessarily brought him frequently to Mr. Chandler's house, where he became acquainted wilh Eugenia. Although these meetings were short and at long intervals, yet the kindred natures of the two had kindled the spark of love deep their bouIs. Wilbur Lockwood was" aware the gulf that lay between them social standing, and his sense in of in of honor would not allow him to take the advantage that his position gave him. Accordingly, after careful consideration, he concluded to lay before Mr. Chandler his hopes, and gain his permission to seek the hand of his daughter. Wilbur Jx)ckvood was not the only one who aspired to the hand of the heiress. Orthington, the wealthy old bach elor, had found his withered heart warmed by the quiet sparkle of Eu genia's eye, and Mr. and Mr3. Chan dler saw the preference Bhown their child, and were nourishing bright hopes for her future. " What a grand match that will make," said Mrs. Chandler to her hnsband. " Then, to think Mr. Orthington has really taken a liking to our child !" " Can't I see ?" replied Mrs Chan dler, while a smile of triumph flit ted across her cold, marble feat ures. " Have you spoken to Eugenia upon the subject ?" "Oh, no; she will ot course see the advantage of the offer, and over look the difference in their ages." " That is an advantage. Mature age gives stability to character." Here the subject was dropped. Wilbur Lockwood seized the first opportunity that presented itself of communicating his views to his em ployer. After the business of the day had been settled that called him to Mr. Chandler's library, he broached the subject, and in an earnest, respectful manner, asked Mr. Chandler's per mission to win the hand of his daughter. " Mr. Lockwood, are you aware that your condition in life makes it impossible; yes, makes it presump tion, to ask the hand of my daugh ter? The position Eugenia holds in society must not l.e lowered by an improper marriage." " I am aware of the humble posi tion I hold, but I am young, and there is as fair a chance for me to gain eminence as others." "Very possible, Mr. Lockwood, but success is very precarious at the best, and I could not for a moment think of risking my daughter's hap piness. By the way, what right have yon to assume that she recip rocates your affection?" u By the invisible magnetism of love, which I believe to be deep rooted in her heart." " Invisible fiddlesticks. Bid your self as soon as possible of this ab surd notion. I will make a wager my daughter never once entertained a thought of the kind. I will dis miss the subject now," and with out another word, turned to his desk. Mr. Lockwood saw that further argument would be useless, and with bitter leehngs ol disappoint ment and wounded pride he left the room. Only a few hours elaps ed before Mr. Orthington's card was laid before the lawyer, asking a pri vate interview. " Mr. Chandler, my business here f .i t is to asK ior me nana 01 your daughter. I command wealth and a position which I think will meet your requirements." " Very true, .Mr. Urthington, ana I am happy to say you already have my consent, and I hope you will fina a no less hearty response from my daughter." m At the table Mr. Chandler, glancing at his daughter, remark ed: " Eugenia, this day has been the most eyentful of your life." How bo, papa?" " Two offers for your hand ; rejected, the other accepted." "Who were they?" asked genia, the crimson mantling one Eu her cheeks. " Be patient and I will tell you. This morning our corresponding clerk, Mr. Lockwood, laboring under the delusion of a reciprocal affection, sought your hand, but I think I have effectually relieved him of the absurd notion. Again, this after noon, Mr. Orthington called on the same business, and of course I was pleased to give my approval, and I trust the day is not far distant when I shall see my daughter wear the ti tle of Lady Orthington." 44 Oh, papa, you could not do such a thing ! I would never marry Mr. Orthington. No, never! You can not have the heart to attempt to set ESTABLISHED, 1827. SOMERSET, PA., WEDNESDAY. JULY 9, IS84. barter away your child's happiness for gold. Father, why did you en courage him ?" " My daughter," said Mr. Chand ler, " I would never have believed you to be such an ungrateful child. Have you no confidence in your father's judgment ?" "I love papa too dearly to dis trust his motives ; but how can he know who I may love, and he does not, for this very act proves it." " Then," said Mr. Chandler, sharp ly, are you wasting your affections unon that penniless clerk ?" " Father, do not speak so of Mr. Lockwood; he is a man ot more than ordinary intelligence, and be cause, as you have been pleased to remark, penniless, he is none the less a gentleman." " Is it possible, Eugenia, that you could be induced to marry him ?' "Since he has made an acknowl edgment to you. I will say in all earnestness that I love him, and shall consent to marry none other, and, dear father, if you expect your son-in-law to hold a high position in life, exert your influence in his behalf ; with a fair chance you need never be ashamed of Wilbur Lock wood." Her palid cheek betrayed the emotion of her heart. " Eugenia, it is my wish that vou become the wife of Mr. Orthing ton." Father, I have obeyed you in all thing3 from my childhood, but when you ask me to sacrifice my happiness, and all that makes life worth living, for that it was given us, to obey is not my duty." Without waiting for a reply, Eu genia sought her own room, where the pent up agony of her soul found vent in tears. Mr. Chandler'? surprise and anger at his daughter's positive refusal, for the first time, to obey his commands knew no bounds. His iron will could not be turned from its pur pose, and time did not serve to re lax his determination. Once again Eugenia had pleaded lor Wrilber TiOckwood, but for the last time ; the 6tern parent had commanded her never again to breathe that name in hia pres ence. Every artifice had been used to bring her to consent to marry Mr. Orthington, but to no avail. Mr. Chandler, rather than lose what he thought to be a brilliant of fer, resolved to bend her to his will. Consequently the marriage contract was drawn, and handed to Eugenia to sign. Father, I have used all the means in my power to avoid this, as well as to convince you that I can never love Mr. Orth ington. This is my death-warrant the warrant that eonsigns me to an early graye. With this avowal from me, do you still command me?" " It is my wish, Eugenia," replied Mr. Chandler, nervously turning the paper in his hands. No tear moistens the eye when she signs the contract, and as Mr. Chandler refolded the papers he at tempted to acknowledge his appro bation. But Eugenia cut him short "She will see the advantage in after years," said Mr. Chandler to himself, to quiet his unpleasant feel ings. Pale and downcast, Eugenia stands before the altar. u Will you love, cherish and obey ?" No answer passes her lips. Again the minister repeats his question. Scarcely above a breath the sound reached his ear : "I will obey." He quickly passes through with the ceremony. He already reads the truth, and his kind, noble heart is moyed with compassion. One short month, and Mr. and Mrs. Chandler are called to the bed side of their dying child. "Doctor," said Mr. Chandler, wringing his hands in agony, " save ur child ! Oh, save her !" " Impossible !" he replied ; "there is no cure for a broken heart. Father, mother, you diverted the hand of Providence. Heap your re ward in a life filled with sorrow and regret. Your repentance comes too late. How Plat Indians Fish. Itabbit-hunting and fishing con stitute the business of life now to the Piute warriors in Nevada, since the buffalo have traveled north, and the antelope ia fast following them ; and in the capure and killing of such small deer he is exceedingly expert, His fishing tackle consists of a bit of light rope, weighted with a stone at one end, and grasped by the hand of the fisherman at the other. To this line are attached at regular distance half a dozen or more hooks made out of rabbit bones, in the form of a narrow let ter V ; and the angel of each V again is fastened a short line made of sinews, and baited with some such trifle as a snail or a fresh-water sucker. The fish, swallowing the bait and the line, swallows also the hook, which ia 80 acted upon by the tension of the line aa to ex pand its two prongs ana fasten them firmly in the victim's throat ; and whirls and darts about the line, attracting all its family and the neighbors to swallow the same saare until the angler has counted a bite for every hook, and quietly draws in his main line heayy with spoils. English Trade Marks. Mr. Edward Waters, Patent and Trade-marks office, 87 Bourke Street Melbourne, Australia, writes : " One of my household suffered with tooth ache and rheumatism and after try ing numerous other remedies with out relief, tried St Jacobs Oil. It was rubbed or the cheek and plug ged in the tooth, and well rubbed in for rheumatism. In both cases the cure was immediate and complete, and in neither case has the pain re turned. V&nderbilt is said to have offered 450,000 for the Duke of Marlbro's collection of paintings. 1 ' lsola of Fan They Had. It was nothing but a palm leaf fan. It occupied a whole bench by itself in a grove not far from the entrance of Druid Hill Park. It had a lonesome look, as it longing to be swung through the hot summer air. Pres ently a portly gentleman, with his necktie disarranged, hi3 hat set back and hia mouth well open, tripped up the path. He stretched hia arms wiped off the prespiraton, and see ing the bench made for it and sat down. He grabbed the fan and swooped it in the air. Right away he gave a tremendous sneeze ; re peated it again ; repeated it twice more, and thrice more again. Then he gazed at the fan, dropped it, scowled at his hands, and with steady stride made for the pump, muttering curses with each breath. Next came a sleekly dressed swell. He was fanning with his hat He saw the fan, "Lucky, by Jove !" he said, as he sat down on the bench. He grabbed the palm leaf. He look ed at his hand and straightway made for the pump. The Park was now becoming full of people. A portly young lady in white attached to a slim man in brown meandered up the path. "Oh, ain't we for tunate?" shesaid. "Here's a shady bench and just look, there's a big fan. too." They sat down. She picked up the fan and shook it in her face. A look of sorrow came into her eyes and a sneeze into her nose. The young man in brown snatched it. He also dropped it Then the two showed each other their hands. They took out their handkerchiefs and began wiping Presently they left the seat. Then two small boys crept lrom behind a near clump ol trees grinning porten tiously. They saw the tan. One of them took it by the top and moved oil. "iJilly," said he to his com panion, "we'll git some more lasses 'an red pepper 'en try her again." The lied Sunsets. At the last meeting of the Acade my of Natural Science?, Professor II Carvill Lewis referred to Mr. Joseph W bartons investigation on atmos pheric dust in connection with his studv of the cause of the remarkable red sunsets of last summer. Through the kindness of the Rev. Wayland Hoyt the speaker had been afforded the opportunity of examining dust which was undoubtedly the result of the eruption of the volcano Kra katoa, Java, this dust, which tell thickly upon the rigging of the bark Villiam H. Besse, bound from Bat- tavia to Boston, is of a light gray color and harsh to the touch. It is essentially a pulverized pumice, by far the greater part ot it consisting of powdered glass. These fragments are sometimes twisted, but generally occur in flat, angular, transparent scales, filled with minute bubbles, Angular fragments and crystals of transparent plagioclase, together with more irregular and rounded fragments of dark green and brown pyroxenic minerals, probably augite and hypersthene, are scattered among the glass particles. Grains of magnetite, often well rounded, also occur, and may be picked out and examined separately by a mag net covered with tissue paper. The dust did not in the least resemble that described by Mr. Wharton. Accompanying the specimens of dust were extracts from the log of the bark, which were read by Prof. Lewis. Throughout the afternoon and night of August 20 heavy re ports like the discharge of artillery were heard from the direction of Java, the barometer being JO.lo. At daylight the following day a heavy cloud bank was seen to the westward, which continued to rise until the sun was obscured. The barometer fell suddenly to 29.50 and suddenly rose again to 30.00. All hands were called, everything se curely furied. and the port anchor let go with alt the chain in the lock er. By this time the squall struck the vessel with terrific force, and the starboard anchor was let go with eighty fathoms of chain. With the squall came a heavy shower of sand and ashes, and it became dark er than the darkest night. The bar ometer continued to rise and fall an inch at a time. The wind was blow ing a hurricane, but the water kept very smooth. A heavy rumbling, with reports like thunder, was heard continually, and the Eky was lit np with forked lightning running in all directions, while a strong smell of sulphur pervaded the air, making it difficult to breathe. Altogether it formed one of the wildest and most awful scenes imaginable. The tide was setting strong to the westward throughout the gale, at the rate of 10 knots an hour. At S p. m. the sky commenced to grow lighter.although the ashes continued to fall. The barometer rose gradually to 30.30, and dropped gradually to 30.14, when it became stationary. The whole ship, rigging and masta were covered with sand and ashes to the depth of several inches. The follow ing day commenced with light airs and thick, smoky weather. Large quantities of trees and dead fishes floated by with the tide, the water having a whitish appearance and covered with ashes. Mr. Edward Potts stated that he had examined pumice which had been found floating on the water about 500 miles from the eruption. It was pure pumice, without any massive character whatever. Mr. Charles Morris's theory that the fre quent rains of the spring were due to a condensation of vapor around dust particles in the air was discussed by Professor Heillbrin. Philadelphia Ledger.

A few friends in conversation several even ings ago with Mrs. Logan, the wife of the Republican nominee for Vice President, referred to the increased labor which tbe Generals nomina tion would impose upon her. This estimable lady modestly replied : "A great deal has been said at diff erent times about the assistance I render to the General in the perform ance of public duties. I aid him by relieving him of many details, but it is not right to say that I write his speeches, because it is not correct I take charge of his correspondence and I do this because the General ia very conscientious. I read all hia lettera and lay all their contents be fore him. Most public men ,are at the mercy of their private secreta ries, who do not have their interests at heart, and who often abuse the confidence reposed in them. Every correspondent making a reasonable request is entitled to some sort of response. The General has never deceived any one, because he has known the contents of all his correspondence. I have also done much copying, and have marked authorities on various subjects on which he proposed to speak. I be long to that class of American wo men who feel that the glory of their husbands is their glory. 1 chose to shine in the reflected light of my husband than to put myself forward. It has always been my sole ambi tion t be a good and useful wife and a true mother. I have been the companion of m y husband and I think this is the sole ambition of the great mass of American women, as it should be. A REMARKABLE WOMAN. The conversation then turned upon a few of the details of this re markable woman's life. This sim ple narrative presents many lessons which the younger generations of American women might apply with profit to themselves and the happi ness of the world at large. We do not think it a violation of the confi dences of a private conversation to give them the benefit of the exam pie of this true type of American womanhood. The American ances try oi .urs. L.ogan goes back to a sturdy Irish settler of Virginia and a French pioneer of Louisiana. Her great-grandfather, Robert Cunnin bam, of Virginia, was a soldier of the war for Independence, after which he removed to Tennessee, thence to Alabama, and thence to Illinois, when still a territory, and there manumitted his slaves. Her father, Captain John M. Cunning ham, served in the Black Hawk war. He was a member f the Legislature of Illinois in 1S45 and 1)S46 and served in the Mexican war. Her mother was Miss Elizabeth Fon taine, of a distinguished family of that name which had arrived in Louisiana during the French occu pancy of that country and had thence journeyed up the Mississippi river and settled in Missouri. It was here that John Cunning ham met his bride and it was near the pleasant village of Sturgeon, then known as Petersburg, in Boone county, Mo., that Mary Simmerson Logan was born, on August li, 188. V hen she was one year old her par ents removed to Illinois and settled at Marion, in Williamson county. It was here that the mother and her oldest daughter, then but nine pears old, shared the dangers of a frontier home and the cares and solicitude of a growing family, when the hus band and father went forth to fight the battles of hia country upon the parched plainsof Mexico and braved the trials and privations of a miner's life in the Sierras of California. This courageous and dutiful little girl relieved her mother, who waa not strong, of most of the household work, and still found time to attend the primitive school of tbe neighbor hood and train herself in useful needlework. HER CHILP1IOOB. The father felt a just pride in his eldest daughter. The assistance which she had rendered her mother during hia long absence in Mexico and California had even more close ly endeared her to hia heart, and her love of study had prompted him to give part of hia income to her proper education. Accordingly, in lSo3 the daughter was sent to the Convent of St. Vincent near Morganfield, Ky., a branch of theNacareth Institute, the oldest institution of the kind in the country. This was the nearest educational establishment of suffi cient advancement in the higher branches of knowledge. rhe young , , i - r . .:.. . - t 1 laay was reareu a uapuM ; uurr uct , marriage she joined iho Methodist j church, the cnurcn oi me logan family. Having graduated in laoo, .Miss Cunningham returned to her father's home at Shawneetown. In her younger days, when a mere child, she had aided her f tther as Sheriff of the county. Clerk of the Court and Register of the Land Office in pre paring his papers. Tliose were not the days of blank forms and legal documents. Accordingly the father depended upon the daughter to make copies for him. While Mary Cunningham waa thus aiding her father in his official duties, John A. Logan was Prosecuting Attorney of the district He had known Father Cunningham and was his warm friend. He bad known the daugh ter as a little girl. In 1S55 they were married and at once went to the young attorney's home at Ben ton, Franklin county. Ihe bride was sixteen years of age. out her young life had already beeu one of usefulness to her mother and great service to her father. THE YOCSG WIFE. The young wife immediately in stalled "herself in the place of com panion and helpmeet to her husband. She accompanied him on all of his professional journeys, an undertak ing in those days of wilderness and no roads, often reouiring great en-1 di.rance and privation. In 1S5G the devoted wife saw her husband I triumnbantly elected a member of the Legislature, and in the famous Dnncrlnsa and Lincoln Senatorial contest he was elected as a Douglass Democcat to Congress. In all these WHOLE NO. 1721. hard-fousrht Dolitio.il ramnfiicma tho t C I P " noble wile went with her husband. assisting in much of his work of correspondence and copying, and frequently receiving hia friends and conferring with him on the de tails of the campaign. When Mr. Logan came to Congresa aa a Repre sentative Mrs. Logan came with him. She remained with him in Washing ton until the outbreak of the rebel lion, when he resigned hia seat in Congress to return to Illinois to go into the service of hia country. The war having commenced and Mr, Logan having raised and been assigned to the command of the Thirty-first Illinois Volunteers, Mrs. Logan, with her only living child, then three y vars old (now Mrs. Tuck er), returned to her father's home at Marion. The Illinois troops having been ordered into camp at Cairo, Mrs. Logan joined her husband there. During the fierce battle of Belmont Mrs. Logan heard the booming of the guna across the turgid flood of the Mississippi. In the midst of painful and anxious suspense for the safety of her own, of whom she felt that he was in the thickest of the conflict, she gave a helping hand to the care of the wounded and suffer ing soldiers as they were brought back from that bloody field. PCKINU THE WAR. When the army entered upon the Tennessee river campaign, Mrs. Lo gan again returned to her home, but waa soon shocked by the news from Donnelson that her husband had fallen at the head of his charging columns, dangerously wounded. She hastened to the scene to care for her husband. For days it was a strug gle between life and death. At Memphis, in the winter of 1SG2-3, Mrs. Logan again joined her husband, now a general, and re mained there until he led his troops in the campaign which ended in the surrender of Vicksburg. During this time and to the end af the war Mrs. Logan remained at Carbondale, where, out of the Gen eral s salary, they had bought an unpretentious home. Upon his return from the war General Logan was nominated by acclamation for Congressman-at-Large. After hia election Mrs. Lo gan returned to Washington and haa been one of the prominent figure3 in society ever since. The arduoua work of the ap proaching campaign will find Mrs. Logan again exerting all her genius for the success ef her husband aud with that the success of the Re publican ticket. The mass of cor respondence pouring in from day to day she dispatches with her own hands and the aid of a stenographer. She also lends her presence to the numerous visits of congratulation from committees and individuals from all parts of the country. The most zealous person for the ticket in Washington and also one of the per sona who will work most earnestly for its success wiil be Mrs. John A. Logan. Philadelphia Times. Some fueer Sights in Mexico. On the ride up to Mexico two things especially attract the atten- tian of the tourist the soldiers, by their presence, and the priests, by their absence. Every passenger train has one car filled with armed soldiers who accompany it to pro tect it lrom highwaymen. I he ru ral guard rurales, as they are call ed also watch its movements. When the engineer whittles for a station the passengers at the window will see a dashing cavalrv officer in a gray unifurni of buckskin, fully arm ed, gallop across the fields on a hand some horse and head off the train. He exchanges.a few words with the Major in command of the train probably "all well" and on goes the cars again. Sometimes there are two or more of these men in buckskin, and there are 20i0 of them jin all, watching the railroad interests. It seems to me that all the fuss and parade m 1st be rather a survival of the times of disturbance which recent vears have seen, rath er than a present Lecessity, every thing herv appear? to be so quiet and so safe; but perhaps the gov ernment knows best. Of priesta there were, of course none visible, for priests are prohib ited bylaw from appearing in thfeir robe' anywhere in Mexico. The universal confiscation of Churches and convents has also .subjected this curious property to some strange vicisitudes..

To kill the greenish gray worm which eata young corn soon after it comes up Mr. Sturtevont, of the Agricultural Experiment Station, Geneva, N. Y., says that as the in ject probably drags the cut off por tion into hia retreat beneath the sur face to feed upon at his leisure dur ing the day, his food can be poison ed by dusting Pari, green or London purple over the plants while wet with dew. As the more economical and lesa dangerous in its use, I would ask that the experiment be made with London purple, mixed with flour to a proper degree of dilution which shall be found by first testing it upon a few hills per haps one part of the purple to twen ty of flour. If care be used ia the applicatie-n so that the powder shall reach the stalks of the com at the point where they are cut off. the small portion of the poison consum ed in the cutting off operation, would probably suffice to kill the caterpil lar. The other method which is known to be effectual, is to employ the cheap lobor of boys, by having them go over the field a few times (four or five times at proper inter vals, are usually sufficient) and dig out and destrey the caterpillars from the hills showing the attack. They are easily found sometimes as many as live in a hill. A writer who states that he has always found this method successful, bears this testimony in its favor : One year, on six acres, the worms had begun in such numbers that it waa obvious that the corn would be destroyed unless something was promptly done. We set two men at work, who continued at them tor ten days. on and off, amounting to four days work in all, and costing one dollar per acre, and entirely saving the crop of over 300 bushels. Keep np yonr Trees. A tree, undoubtedly, is one of the most beautiful objects in nature; airy and delicate in its youth, luxu riant and majestic in its prime, ven erable and picturesque in its ld age, it constitutes in its various forms. sizes and developments the greatest charm and beauty of the earth in all countries. The most varied out line of surface, the finest combina tion of picturesque materials, the stateliest country house would be comparatively tame and spiritless without the inimitable accompani ment of foliage. Let those who have passed their lives in a richly wooded country, whose daily visions are deep leafy glens, forest-clad hills and plains luxnriantly shaded. transport themselves for a moment to the desert, where but a few stun ted bushes rai.se their heads above the earth, or those wild stepnea. where the eye wanders in vain for some "leafy garniture," where the eye winders in vain for some leafy garniture," where the sun strikes down with parching heat or the wind sweeps over with unbroken fury, and they may perhaps estimate by con trast their beauty and value. Boecher'a Dad Head. For two months in the year Hen ry Ward Beecher ean't preach. In August and September he takes his vacation and endures the onset of the hay fever. And it is, so he says, something terrible and tremendous. A man with hay fever isn't account able for his actions. He is merely a wild beast frantic with snuffing, sneezing and headache. His eyes are red and so ia his nose. Every nerve in his skull thrills with dis tress and his head ia a fountain of tears. He lives only to fly from sea side to mountain-top in search of relief. And yet, whether we call this form of catarrh hay-fever, rose fever, hay-cold or rose-cold, Ely's Cream Balm will cure it This rem edy is simple, pleasant and easy of application. Placed in the nostrils, it penetrates and soothes the affected parts at once, restores the impaired senses and creates healthy secretions in cases of the longest standing. You cannot run away from hay-fever, but you can drive it from you by using Ely's Cream Balm. Banyan in London. In his latter days Bunyan's figure was tolerably iamihar in London. He preached regularly' in South Bark in an open space near the Falcon and people thronged to hear him, so that he could count upon a regular congregation of some xJO souls. John Wesley s father heard him preach on Newingtoa Green. That he had many friends in London is evident from the num ber of people who attended his funer al and from the handsome tomb that soon after his death was built over his grave. Iwent7 or thirty years ago this tomb, which had fall en into decay, was restored, but has already assumed a time-worn, weath er" orn appearance. Stone proba bly perished more quickly in a London atmosphere than under any other conditions, and, looking round at the headstones and tombs, it is evident that at the end of 50 years or so inscriptions, unless renewed in the meantime, are mostly illegible, while in country churchyards epi taphs of the last century or of even earlier dates are often easily to be deciphered.
