For restoring to Gray Hair its

colon with the
gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling 'lntir checked,
and baldness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional usewill prevent the hair
front turning gray or falling off, and.
consequently prevent baldness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma
lion of dandruff, which is often so un
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu
rimis 1:o the hair, the Vigor can only
ben* but not liana it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it lbws
not soil white cambric, and yet bets
long on the hair, giving it a rich. glo
lustre, and a grateful perfume.

and Lungs. A vast
- trial of its virtues.
throughout this and
iil V . other countries, ims
shown that it does
surely and effectually
control them. The testimony of our best citi
zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that .
CHERRY PECTORAL will and does relieve and
cure the afflicting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The utmost
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumps
lion, cured by this preparation, nre public
ly known, so remarkable as hardly to ho be
lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute.
As a remedy it is adequate, on which the public
may rely fur full protection.. By curing Coughs,
tie forerunners of more serious disease, it saves
unnumbered lives, , and an amount of su ff ering
not to be computel. It challenges trial, and con
vinces the !mist sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as a protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections,
which are easily met at first, but which become
incurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten
der lungs need this defendt; and it Is unwise to
be without it. As a safeguard to children, amid
the dtdressing diseases which besot the Throat
and Chest of Childhood, CHERRY PECTORAL
is invaluable; for, by its timely use,. multi.
tudes are rescued from premature' graves, and
saved to the love and affection centred on them.
It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds,
securing soniiil and health-restoring sleep. Na .
one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain
ful Bronchitis, when they know how easily
thee can be cured.

Letter from Judge W. D. Kelley--
Plain .Trntlis Plainly Stated.
lion. W. D. Kelley has written from Lara.
mle, Wyoming Territory, a letter to his con
affluents In Philadelphia, formally accepting
the Republican nomination for another tern;
of service In the House of Representatives. In
doing this lie takes occasion to express his
pleasure with the renomination of President
Grant, as a just tribute to a faithful and de.
serving Executive. Ile rapidly reviews the
public services of the President in his mint,'
ry and civil capacities, and. in illustration of
the results of his administration in restoring
peace and order at the South Judge Kelley
pointedly says :
Without force or violence the President hos
broken up the military organization tenowu as
the Ku Klux, and secured to every citizen of
each State the ability to enjoy all the privi.
leges and and immunities pertaining to Amer.
scan citizenship in every State. What great
and munificent results he has thus produced,
the report of General Schurz and the files of
the New York Tribune for the first half of
August, 1872, considered togetber,abundantly
show. Security and order now prevail
throughout the South, and, borrowing my
words frbm the speech of Senator Schurz made
in the Senate on the 19th of April, 1870, I say
to the Liberal Republicans, as the malcontents
style themselves, "Show me the dungeon in
which a single man languishes for political
offenses; show me the gallows upon which a
single one expi ted his crime of treason ;
show me the exiles in foreign countries who
might not this very moment return unmolest
ed to their homes. Where are they '?" No
man can tell, for in enforcing the laws the
President has but to quote the Senator again,
"fulfilled his duty to protectthe conquerors in
the South against the civil spirit of the con
quered I"
Judge Kelley proceeds to review the char
acter and results of the President's Indian
policy, which he has justly and courageously
managed, in the face of partisan hostility and
the opposition of the Indian ring. The re.
forms effected in the revenue service, of which
Judge Kelley has personal and particular
knowledge, because of his position on the
Committee of Ways and Means, are thus clear
ly and cogently set forth :
On tb 4th of March, 1809, when Grant was
inaugrated, there were in the employ of the
"(lice of Internal Revenue, 0,277 persons, and
the cost of assessing and collecting this branch
of the revenue for thepreceding twelve months
had been $7,699,477.72. Ilas he as President
attempted to retain the power, the continu
ance of this branch of the service would give
him? Neither Sumner nor Schurz tins had
the effrontery to charge him with this, , or in
each annual message he has expressed his de
sire for the rapid reduction of Internal taxes,
and the earliest practicable abolition of the
whole system of taxation which requires the
collector and assessor to dog the steps of the
citizen. Treating with derision the teachhes
of those who would maintain this burdensome
and Inquisitorial system of taxes In order to
relieve the foreigner who would compete in
our markets with.the productions of onr'own
labor from paying anything for the privilege,
he has persistently urged the maintenance of
duties on foreign manufactures and the repeal
of internal taxes. Fortunately the majority
of Congress has been in accord with him on
this point, and the internal tax system totters
to its fall. I have no hesitation in predicting
that it will be abolished before the expiration
of President Grant's second tea tn. On the Ist
of January, 1872, or in less than three years
from his inauguration, the number of employ
ees in the service has been reduced fifty per
cent. between the Ist of October and the close
of the year.
Tue strict accountability to which the ad
ministration has held its employes is proven
by many pregnant facts. Thus, under Mr.
Johnson, a spirit tax of $2 per gallon yielded
but $13,000 000 ; while under Grant and Bout
well, taxes amounting to 03 cents per gallon
yielded $42,000,000 per annum.
But a more general demonstration of fidel
.
ity with which the revenues of the Govern
ment have been collected and applied is found
in the tact that, coincidently'with the repeal
of so many productive Internal taxes and the
transfer to the free list of tea, coin°, spices,
gums, and many other articles, the duties on
which took from the people about $50,000,000
per annum, our national currency and our
bonds have steadily appreciated in value, and
'our debt has been reduced at the rate of $lOO,-
000,000 per annum. It is now aboht three
years and five months since President Grant
was inaugurated, and in that brief period Ms
faithful administration has reduced our annual
interest account $22,000,050, of which .$20,•
000,000, was extinguished by the payment of
bonds, and $2,000,000 by the exchange of six
per cents. These astonishing results prove
the unexampled prosperity of the country,aud
admonish us to avoid change. How they
must impress the statesmen and capitalists of
other countries may be inferred from a remark
submitted to. Parliament by Mr. Gladstone,
Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the 2.1 of
June, 1871. It had been proposed to relieve
the overburdened laborers of the British Is
lands by reducing the duties on tea, coffee,
and sugar. Mr. Gladstone opposed the meas
ure, and, appealing to the patriotism of the
people, mane an exhibit of the rapt lity with
which the national debt and the consequent
intereshacco Int were belag reduced. I his
exhibit, fur a comparison to which he chal
lenged the annals of the world, was as fol.
lows :—"Hav leg, therefore, shown that there
are excellent reasons why, taking the nation
in a corporate capacity as a waole, we should
go on paying off the national debt, and hav•
Mg also shown that there are good and sub,
stantial reasons why we should not wholly re
lieve the working classes front' taxation, I
now like, if the House will allow me. to say a
few words on another aspect of this subject,
on which I have collected some statistics,
which, 1 am persuaded, will be found to be
not without Interest, and Ike effect of which
will be to exhibit the most remarkable evidence
of national p ()verity which the- world ever
saw. For this purpose .1 take three permits in
the present century-1825, 1850. and 1870 1—
and apply certain tests of public prosperity to
these different periods. The total amount 01
funded and unfunded debt vas, in 1825,
£809,801.408 ; in 1850, £787,038,102 ; and in
1870 1, £737,400,237. The total payments for
Interest, Etc., of d ht Including tr rminable an
nuities, were, In 1825, only ten years after the
war, was over, £30,2115.208; in 1850, £28,297-
503. and in 1870 1, £26,820,430. So that, ut
this period, when we are Invited to stop our
payment of debt and apply the money to the
reduction of taxation or to the service of the
year, we are actually paying nearly £4000,000
annually lees forth.charge of the debt than
In 1825."
I have taken the liberty of italicizMg a few
words the better to emphasize the contrast
between the results of forty•llve years thus
triumphantly presented and those ut forty-one
months of President Grant's administration.
If the reduction of the British debt, $309,906,-
155, and her interest account, $20,000.000, in
forty-five-years exhibits "the most remarkable
evidence of national prosperity which the
world ever saw," what must be the measure
of our prosperity as attested by the fact that,
with constantly diminishing taxation, Grant's
andministration has in forty-one months re
duced the debt $330.226.350, and the interest
account $22,000,000. In view of these exhib
its the American people may well givo heed
to the adage, "Let well enough alone."

The result in Vermont and Maine, says the
Cleveland Leader, has convinced the Liberal-
Democratic coalition that all prospects of the
election of Greeley are at an end They have,
then fore, practicaily given up the contest for
President, and are bending every energy to
the work of carrying local elections.' The
Democratic-Liberal programme now is to elect
a Greeley majority in Congress. They it, WI
to paralyze President Grant's administration
by confronting him with 11 hostile Congress
If they succeed we shall have four years more
of dead lock similar to that which existed dur
ing Johnson's administration, but with the
conditions reversed. Such a result would be
a practical victory for the confederate party.
A. Republican administration should be sus
tained by a Republican Congress, or the peace,
the stability and prosperity of the past two
years will be at any time liable to rupture and
overthrow. The Republican who supports
Grant, but votes for a Greeley Congressman,
votes to manacle the President for, the next
four years and to neutralize the power of Re
publicanism.

PIMA., SEPT. 20, 1872. —To the Editor of
the Evening Bulletin :—W ill you permit a
Southern man, "one to the marmor born,"
who has spent fifty years of his life in that
section, whose interest, social, political and
financial, is still there, to say a few words in
regard to the present political questions of the
day ? And first, let me correct some of the
statements made by Mr. Grealey 'in one of
his late speeches "as he swings around the
circle." He says "that the party who now
support his election have no idea of pressing
any claim, should they get into power, to be
paid for the slaves lost by the Emancipation
Proclamation, or to have their soldiers' wid
ows and orphans pensioned." No one who
knows the feelings of the secesh element of
the South would dare make such declaration
there, for one of their strongest reas ns for
supporting a [nail who has always been offen•
sive to them is that they hope, from his known
vacillating character and his Inconsistent
isms, to so control the legislation of Congress
as to carry into dint bath of these measures.
I know whatl do state.
Mr. Greeley harps upon the course of the
general government towards the still existing
rebel clement prevailing throughout a great
part of the South. But for the strong arm of
the Federal power, not a single colored teen
would be allowed to vote at the corning elec
tion ; they would be allowed " no rights that
white man should respect." The South is
fast recovering from the effects of Its rebellion,
but change the administration, and annuity
and it war of races will be inaugurated, caus
ing desolation and.. ruin. Fields now white
with the cotton crop would again be left un
cultivated, and soon the market now being
opened for the manufactories of the North
would be closed. Let the mechanics of Penn
sylvania remember this, both in the Stale and
Presidential elections, for if the Republican
State ticket is defeated, it will be heralded
throughout the South that the Keystone State
has gone with the enemies of a free govern
ment. • U. G.
FIENDIST WORK.
A Paesenger Lornmotit•n Thrown Ores a Forty
Fo o t Embankment—Two Erpre.. Car. flail
'gain it, Killing the Engineer and Fireman.
From the Harrisburg Journal of the 2d
One of the most diabolical attempts at pre
meditated murder that has occurred for some
time, took place on the Pennsylvania railroad,
about halipast one o'clock, yesterday morn
ing, about :hirty miles west of Philadelphia,
at a point between Steamboat Station and Gar
riot's Siding, where there is considerable of a
curve in the road, and a pretty steep embank
meUt. The Cincinnati express east, which
left this city at 10 30 on Monday evening, was
drawn by engine 332, Samuel Keller engineer,
and Philip Cline, sun of Mr. John Cline, of
this city, fireman. The men on the engine
went out, on Monday night, oil their regular
run, which would have been in rotation next
day.
When the train reached the point above re
ferred to, the engine left lie track, and was
precipitated down an embanktnent about forty
feet, and two cars of the Alienist express com
pany were thrown upon it crushing the en
gine into a shapeless mass, killing Mr. Keller
and Mr. Cline almost instantly, mutilating
them in a shocking manner. Their bodies
were not recovered for several hours after
ward, until the debris and express goods were
removed, when it was necessary to jack the
engine up, to get Cline out from under the
ash pan. Fortunately, when the engine and
express cars left the rail, the jarring of the
train broke the coupling, and disconnected
the passenger cars from the engine and cars
in front of them.
A passenger asserts that a wedge bad been
fastened on the south side of the tracky and a
rail was loosened and elevated on the opposite
side. The sharp curve and sleep embank
ment were well chosen for the diabolical act,
and it was by a mere miracle that some of the
passengers were not killed nor injured.
The utmost consternation prevailed for some
time, and measures were immediately taken
to remove the pile of debris and get the dead
bodies of the fireman and engineer out from
among the.mass of rubbage.
Mr. Keller, we believe, is a native of Lan
caster county, and had been in the employ of
the Pennsylvania railroad company for some
years past, and was nniversally esteemed by
all who knew MM. lie boarded at the Eagle
House, Pennsylvania avenue, for the past three
years.
Philip Cline, the fireman, was the son of
Mr. John Cline, and resided with his father
on South street, between Second and Front
streets. He was nu active member of the
Hope Fire Company, was a soldier in the w.r
of tee rebellion, and was highiy respected in
this city. Humor has it that he was engaged
to be married, shortly. His remains will
reach this city at 10.35, this morning. Mr.
Keller, we were informed, will be burled iu
Lancaster county.
We learn front Col. Bingham, the reliable
agent of the Adams express company in this
city, that the express cars were tilled with
goods, much of Which, cf course, will be
damaged.
The occurrence has caused universal regret
in this city, where both the men who lost
their lives by the act of a fiend incarnate, were
well known.
1. TRUE HERO
4 Yoaari Man &tees a ChiWs Life at the Risk of

Yesterday morning, says the Elizabeth, N.
J. Monitor,.of Saturday, as a local train on
the Central road was crossing Morris avenue
Mrs. Dr. R. W. Martin attempted to cross,o e
track with a baby carriage, in which — lai r an
Infant about a year old. The train was com
ing faster than she had calculated, and in lens
tone than the circumstances can be related tie
car was upon them. The rear platform of the
car,which projects about three feet beyond the
wheels, chught the carriage, tore it out of Mrs.
Martin's hands and carried it along backwards
a distance of several feet.
The destrurtioe of the carriage and the
crushing of the infant, In it seemed inevitable,
when a young man named George Guempel
sprang forward and with a presence of mind
which was as rare,us the deed was courageous
and heroic. He seized the baby carriage and
at the Imminent risk of his own safety, con
tinued to keep It ahead of the car until he
could release the wheels from the track It
was all the work of a few moments, but a no
bier act: of heroism or more magnificent piece
of bravery and coolness has randy hen re

who happened to be in the vicinity of the de•
pot, all of whom gave up the child for lost.

• The St. Louis Democrat makes public some
new facts connected with Greeley's Presiders•
tilt asiiirtnions. It is well known, says the
Democrat, that Greeley would have supported
Chase had he received the Democratic nomin•
ation In 1808 • but finally supported Grant in
preference to 'Seymour. At an informal Re
publican caucus in Washington, in 1870, it
wits decided to run Grant again, and to con
ciliate Greeley by putting hint On the ticket for
Vice President. This brought out Colfax's
letter of declination. Greeley was present at
this caucus, and agreed to the arrangement.
In the spring of 1i,71 he made his trip to Texas,
and on his return told his friends he was strong
enough to take the first place on the ticket,
avowing ale determination to run in 1872.
Greeley meditated running on the ticket with

Sectarian Culture and What Conies
of it
Idis not to lre denied that thaecultare which
accompanies devotion to ascertain systems and
ideas is not admirable. It is equally beyond
dispute that the style of personal character
which accompanies such culture is not lovea
ble. The limit of sympathy is alike the limit
of culture and of loveableness. It is a matter
of surprise that men whose Christian honesty,
purity, and self devotedness are conceded on
every hand are often men with whom we do
not find ourselves attracted—men with whom
we have little that is common. There are
clergymen of great power and influence in
their own denomination who are so entirely
out of place is general society that they never
appear in it. Their whole lite runs in a sec
tarian rut, and tends toward, and ends at, a
sectarian goal. There are great inu Ititudes of
laymen of the same sort, who have no associ
ations outside of their own church. hugging
the thought that they monopolize the truth,
they can regard no other sect with hearty tol
eration and respect. Their sympathies are
shortened in every direction, and their culture
fails to be admirable, because it is based on
one-sided views of truth, and limited by the
prescribed tenets of their faith. It 13 not au
answer to this statement to say that true Chris
tianity is never popular, and t h e t even its
Founder was not popular. It was the narrow
sects that hated Him. It was the Scribes and
Pharisees whom Ile denounced that despised
Him. The continua people heard Ihim gladly
and followed Him, and received His• society
and ministry by thousands.
It it also not to be deaied that there arc
styles or character and culture only indirectly
formed by Cnristian ideas, or influenced by
them, that are extrentely loveable. There are
men and women who have had no conscious
Christian experience, whose faith is either a
negative or a most indefinite onantfly, who
make no public profesion of piety, who do
not even privately' coma themselves among
Chritfians in name, yet they are nevertheless
among Cie most amiable that we know. Their
courtesy, their tier evolence,their thormigh in
tegrity of character, their heartY good will
manifested in all society, their toleration and
charity, make them universal favorites. I hey
ignore all s .ets a d religious and political dif
ferences, anti become social centres sometimes
for the church itself. Many Chrht aus preter
them for companions to those who are enrolled
with them on church registers, and are puzzed
to know why it is that they love them more
than they do those who are nominally their
brethren.

ders Upon the Pittsburgh Convention.
At Greensburgh, Indiana, on the 22d inst.,
Gen. Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticutopoke
to a large Republican meeting, and referring
to Greeley's Pittsburgh speech said :—As one
of the signers of the call for the Pittsburgh
Convention, its temporary President, and a
member of the Committee on Resolutions, I
have a word to say in reply to Mr. Greeley.
Coming , to Pittsburgh the day after the Con
.vention, exasperated by Its success, ho said :
" A large number of persons were collected
here ma vast expense, with the single purpose
of rekindling the bittertess and hatred, the
animosity and antipathies, the fears and exal
tations of civil war, for the advantage of a po
litical party." Twice he made these charges
in one brief speech. I speck deliberately,four
days after I first read these remarks ; I speak
with a full sense of what I am saying when I
say the charge was infamously and malignant.
ly false. I appeal to the thirty thousand sol
diers who were there. No assembly of Penn•
sylvania Friends was ever more generously
disposed. We disowned emphatically the
spirit of revenge, declared the war closed at
Appomattox, and, with "malice toward none
and charity for all," entended the right band
of fellowship to all who accept the results of
the war and obey the Constitution and laws,
enthusiastically welcomed the letter from
Confederate soldiers, and spent over two days
in a love-feast of good-fellowship and patriot.
Ism. Not a word of our resolutions, not a
syllable of our speeches, not a cry or cheer
Justified the slanders of Mr. Greeley.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
The second semimonthly meeting of the Allen
town Teachers Institute was held in the Fifth
Ward school building, September 28, 1872. At
the appointed time, the meeting was called to
order by President L. P. Hecker, and formally
opened by singing" A Hundred Years to Come."
The minutes of the previous meeting were then .
read and approved. Forty-nine teachers respond
ed at roll•call. Recitations being next In order,
the following were heard :—From 9 to 9:45, Men
tal' Philosophy by Mr. G. H. Desch and Physical
Geography by Supt. R. K. Buehrle ; from 9:45 to

to. 11:30, Methods of luetroction by Superintendent
Buehrle. On motion Mr. I. W. Rodgers was ap
pointed to procure books for the class in Methods

Afternoon &Mon.—The Institute wan called to
order at a few minutes past ono o'clock. The
Secretary bolug absent, L. B. Landis was.elected
to act us Secretary pro tern. The roll was then
culled, when thirty-eight teachers responded to
their nor^ cc.
A deferred recitation In School Economy was
beard by Supt. Ituehrte,forowed by recitatious In
Grammar and Fibtory, under their respective
leach era.
A resolution, pronouncing the week beginning
December 30th as the most suitable time to attend
the County Teachers' Convention, was adopted.
The Institute then proceeded to discuss the ques
tion " Are works of fiction productive of more good
than evil 7" The discussion was opened on the
affirmative by Mr. J. I. Cawley, whose remarks
were In substance as follows : The reading of fic
tion, IfJudielousiv Indulged in, la highly belie•
licial. The term le often misapplied. Not only
novels, but the gems of literature are fiction. In
proof of this we have the works of Shakspeare,
Scott, Goldsmith, Coleridge, Byron, Milton and
Bunyan. Our Sunday Schools are sustained by our
Sunday School literature, yet It is to a great ex
tent fiction. Arthur's temperance works and

Oliver Optic'e works have done much good. But
the Indictment of anti-fiction readers will be Bled
against novels, especially. The speaker admitted
that not all novels are good. Yon can generally
discover the good by means of criticism of the
press. A good novel possesses the following quali
ties : let, Attractiveness. This creates a love , for
reading. 2d, Language. In poetry and fictiou ls
found a beauty of language which can not be found
In works on philosophy and chemistry. 3d, It
gives the moat perfect pictures of society. The
effect of reading fiction then Is, to rouse the mind
to activity, to create ambition, to cultivate good
manners, and to create a love for reading.
Mr. M. T. Kuntz followed on the negative. He
stated that he did not wish' to deal with " ifs," but
with fictitious reading as It really existed. In our
large libraries the best works on fiction are least
read. The poorer kind is most sought after. Ho
admired the works of Bhakspeare and Milton, not
because they are works of fiction—as such they
teach little—but because there is a baste of facts,
a sound philosophy underlying. The speaker thou
showed bow such reading creates a perverted Idea
of life.
After some addltloual remarks by Messrs. Caw.
ley and Kuntz and Miss Grammes, a lecture was
read by Mr. 11. F. Datesman on the Matory of
Delaware. We refrain from giving an abstract or
this lecture, for nothing lees than the whole would
do Justice to the author. Suffice to say that he
ehowed great familiarity with his subject and
treated It In a manner Interesting to his hearers.
During the delivery wo noticed several teachers
very active in discussing what we Inferred to be
the really laughable history of the Delaware. An
this was left out by the lecturer, it no doubt seemed
proper to them to supply It themselves. Be this
as it will, we hope we may not seem over critical
by saying that for the sake of order, respect to the
lecturer and enabling others to hear, we do think
that the advice to defer conversation till after the
lecture, would be In Ogee.
Next followed a declamation by Miss Addle J.
Keck. It was well committed and well delivered,
and If this is to be taken as a specimen of the man
ner In which our High School graduates will per
form their Institute duties, they will eclipse some
who are much their seniors In experience In teach
ing.
Miscellaneous business being next In order, L.
B. Landis offered the following resolutions, which
were adopted :
Resolved, That the Chair appoint a Library Com
mittee of five ; which committee shall have control
over the library funds, the buying of books, &c.
Resolved, That the sum of firty coots be collected
from each member for library purposes.
Resolved, That the Board of Controllers be re
spectfully petitioned to aid In increasing the Teach
er's Library.
On motion of Mr. Cawley, It was Resolved, That
the minutes of the Institute bo regularly published
in the , daily papers of this city, no later than lour
days after meeting.
The Chair appointed as members of the Library
Committee B. F. Abbott, E. F. Gabriel, B. Mere
dith, L. B. Landis and 11. F. Bateman.
The Executive Committee then offered the fol
lowing report of exercises for next meeting: Sub
ject for dlscussion—" Is it the teacher's duty to
detain pupils after the regular hours of school for
unprepared lessons." To bo opened by Miss Balllo
A. Keck on the affirmative and Mies Annie Klch
line on the negative. Lecturer, Mr. M. Bernhard;
Essayist, Miss E. J. Haines; Declaimer, Miss E.
Bechtel.
