THE WAY the present legislature of the state stands we eau only expect actions in the interest of the republi can party and the worst part of it at that. This is sad, but it is neverthe less true. All hope to gain a democratic rep resentative in the U. S. Senate was defeated in the late election. The last legislature consisted of 30 republicans and 20 democrats in the senate, and 88 republicans and 113 democrats in which in joint vote made a democratic majority of 5. Now the senate musters 31 republicans and 19 dtmocrata and the house 140 republi cans and 61 democrats, giving the re publicans on a joint vote a majority of 91 This notonly assurest he election of a republican U. S. Senator but makes the re-election of Don Cameron an al most settled matter. The new proportionment of the state will also be taken up in the near future but with results which will give the republican party the best advantages. So mueh for democratic chances in the statejlegislature. Thk old Liberty Bell will be taken from the rotunda of Independence Hall, Philadelphia, on the morning of January 24th,and placed upon a truck. The escort to the freight depot of the Pennsylvania railroad will consist of 500 policemen. It will be placed up on a special car, upon one end of which a house has been built for the guard of three policemen detailed to take charge of it during its stay at the New Orleans Exposition. W. H.

Folger, only son of the late secretary of the treasury, died here to-day of consumption, aged 40 years. He leaves a widow and five children. WASHINGTON LETTER. From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 14,1884. The comfort that can be extracted from Mr. Cleveland's late deliverance on civil service reform is general, and the disposition he is to make of the in tense partisan employes in particular, it is of the most frigid character. It is astonishing now to contemplate the number of those now in Government employ who have all along been Demo crats, the best sort 'of Cleveland men, and who for months if not years have been dying for a change of administra tion. It is a fact, however, that the contributions from the several thous ands of Government employes here were very small in amount as compar ed with former campaigns, but the boys are all kicking themselyes merci lessly for not coming forward with funds enough to saye Mr. Blaine's and their own bacon. 1 really hope that the friends of Mr. Springer, of Illinois, will convince Mr. Cleveland of the propriety of having such a man in his Cabinet. If, as is said, the new administration is to be a vigorous one. whose heads are to be those of virility, and whose muscles are to be active and strong, then men like Mr. Springer cannot be ignored. He is a most indefatigable worker, a most profound student in the mazes of states matißhip, and best of all a man who, in nearly a score of years of public life, has never had a charge of corruption or double dealing laid at his door. As Secretary ot the Interior, or indeed as the possessor of any other portfolio, Mr. Springer would acquit himself with ac ceptance. I have just come in from a tour through the departments, made for the purpose of satisfying myself that the Goyernment would be turned over to Mr. Cleyeland in good shape next March. I must ray, however, that evi dence of niggardly appropriations in the matter of the employment of sufli cient clerical force in some of the de partments were much too frequent, es pecially in the Land Ollico and in the office of the Sixth Auditor of the Treas ury. In the latter bureau, which is perhaps the most important of any con nected with the Treasury, the lamenta ble work of clerical help must work in jury to the public interest , inasmuch as no amount of faithfulness and devotion to public duty will admit of a proper discharge of official functions, when Congress refuses the necessary force to prosecute them. It istheSixth Audit or who audits the most insignificant as well as the most extensive of the ac counts arising out of the postal system. The postmasters, the route-agents, the mail contractors,and every person con nected with the Post Ollice Department, large and small, undergo the scrutiny of the Sixth Auditor before he can draw a penny from tho Treasury, and every dollar of the sixty or seventy mil'- ions disbursed to carry on the postal system in this great country, can only he disbursed upon his certificate of the Government's obligation, a position which makes it peculiarly necessary that his quarters should not be circum scribed. PHONO. Miscellaneous News. Better Business Prospects. RENEWED LIFE IN DIFFERENT BKAXCIIESOF TRADE WITH THE NEW YEAR. The New York World presents in terviews with many business men of that city, which shows a better outlook for trade. There is a oetter feeling pre vailing and it would not be at all sur prising If the opening spring would wit ness a general revival of trade and a brightening up of traffic in many di rections. No business man, be he ever so sanguine, is rash enough to look for a boom of any kind worthy the name. The exchanges are ali in a state of ac tivity, out opinions on them are apt to vary by sharp differences, according as the person spoken to has made or miss ed a good hit of trading. John Claflin spoke for his father, Mr. H. B. Claflin, and for the dry goods trade in general. lie said that the question was beginning to be whether there was any depression at all. 'The last two weeks,' lie continued, 'have made quite a change in the outlook of things. Then we could gel what we wanted easy enough, now sellers are holding on to their goods, which is al ways a sign that prices are about to go lip. Stocks are very low and the ac cumulation brought about by overpro duction is fast disappearing. That means the starting up of the mills and plenty of work for all hands. There has been perhaps a little staving off here and there in the number and salar ies of clerks in the dry goods trade, but it has not amounted to any general re duction. It is safe to say that while no particular boom is anticipated for the spring trade the outlook is consid erably better than it was two weeks a go.' Gardner R. Colby, of the firm of Harding, Colby & Co., one of itlie larg est commission houses in Leonard street, said : 'We act as agents for several large New England mills and I am therefore in a position to know that the outlook is favorable both for a good spring trade and for the employment of the hitherto idle mill hands. Stocks are low and prices cheap and the result is that the goods on hand are rapidly selling and manufacturers are making preparations to supply th market with new fabrics. I don't say that there is going to be a very brisk trade, but the general outlook is better than it lias been for some time past.' 11. K. Thurber, of the firm of Thur ber, Wyland Co.. spoke for the gro cery trade. 'Stocksare way down,' lie said; 'formerly the warehouses were bulging with goods and it was difficult to obtain storage room, but within the last few weeks the piles have been di minishing until now great vacant spac es stare the warehousemen in the face and they are skirmishing around for merchandise to put 011 storage and are offering very low rates. This is a good sign for the demand in trade. Collec tions, too, are coming in easily, and the few failures that have taken place are the result of speculation rather than of tin depression which lias prevailed. With all this, prices in groceries were never so low as now. Coffee and tea are equally cheap. Cheap goods means rapid consumption and this* in turn necessitates the supplying of the con sumed stock and work for all. There have been no reductions in the number or salary of the men employed in the grocery trade. I believe the depression is about over and that there are good times ah sad.' A Millionaire's Peculiar Will. BOSTON, January B.—The late Geo. Gardner, of Boston and Beverly, a re cently deceased millionaire, left ape culiar will, which was tiled to-day. There are no Jpubhc bequests, but the bulk of his property is left in the hands of trustees. They are directed to pay to his wife each year 1,161 Troy ounces of pure gold, and hi addition, if she wants it, SIO,OOO cash. It is said that when ( this will was made this quantity of gold represented his wife's exact weight, which was between 90 and 100 pounds, avoirdupois. The will further specifies that the trustees "shall, if she from time to time so direct, deliver to her said pure gold at the weight, said Troy weight, of pure gold it may from time to time contain." The remainder of the income of the estate is to ba divid ed among his relations. Neuralgia of Iho Fnee. v Capt. John OIT, IVarlington, Miss., has boon a most intense RiilVeivr from facial neuralgia lor over twenty years. Ile has had seventeen operations performed on the nerves—that L, had them divided, cut off close to the bone from which they emerge. But this never did him any good; the most excruciating pain continued without the least interruption. He often wished for death to relieve him of the in tolerable pain The best physicians failed to relieve lum They finally advised him to consult l)rs llurtman& Miller, at the St. Charles Hotel, New Orleans, which he did They prescribed PKRUNA, and in loss than a month was entirely relieved of the pun. Before consulting these doc tors the least touch to any part of his face or nose would cause the most fearful pain, while now he can blow his nose and wipe his face without the least fear of pain. The captain is grateful beyond measure for this unexpected and unhoped for result. Mrs Llizaheth Kenner,;S Laurel street, New Orleans, has been one of the great est sufferers from Neuralgia of the face during the past year that we have ever heard of. From morning to night, and from night to morning there was one constant, racking, tearing, burning pain, extcndingclear around her head and deep down through every muscle, tooth and bone in her fiice. No rest and no sleep. All physicians failed to relieve her, m well as nil remedies. She was constantly in the most agonizing despair. She called on I)r. Hartinan, who said the cause was chronic catarrh. He prescribed PERI'NA for her and now every pain lias left her. She feels like another person and can cat heartily and sleep soundly. Mrs! C J. Miles, Gallipolis, O , writes: 44 DR S B HARTMAN & Co., Columbus, O. M v affliction has been 1 heumatism, h> caled in the right arm and shoulder, of more than two years' standing, and alter trying a great many remedies without any relief, I commenced the use of PERFNA, which, after using three bottles, found a decided change for the better. I contin ued to use tt and now feel entirely well." Huldali Ward, \Vellston,o., writes: 'i have been afflicted for years with that dreaded disease, catarrh. I tried a great mnnv different kinds of medicine, but to no effect. I commenced taking vour I'E HUN A about nine months ago; have tak en about ten bottles. It is doing me much good. Bv its continued use I hope to lie entirely cured." Dr. A. B. Lovejoy, Dadeville, Ala., writes: " I have a fine run on your PK KFSA and MANAI.IV. Please send me a lot of books, 44 The Ills of Lite." The Boom in Business. A Brighter Outlook for the Rolling Mills and Furnaces at Cleveland. CLEVELAND, January B.—There is a brighter outlook among the rolling mills and iron furnaces o" Cleveland. For several weeks nearly all the depart ments of the Cleveland Rolling Mill Company have been idle and many men employed in them have been unable to provide for their families. The Aetna J/ill and the Emma Blast Furnace have also been id'e for about one month, and it lia.4 been estimated that over 1,000 men have been idle during the last few weeks in Newburg. Tuesday morning six departments of the Cleveland Rolling Mills started and the night turn of the wire mills also re sumed work, thus giving employment to several hundred idle men. Superin tendent Coleman, of the Aetna Mill, says that mill will also start up in n bout three weeks. The Emma Blast furnace, which is being thoroughly re paired, will commence February 1. Sev eral departments in the plate mill re sume work in ;• few days. The rail mill and the Bessemer steel works are still idle, but it is thought that these departments will start up next week. A Panic in Spain. Fifteen Thousand People Leave GJ an ada—A Village Sliding Down Hill. MADRID, January 9.— Fifteen thous and persons have already left Granada. The people generally are of the opinion that the end of 4 the world is-at baud and are asking absolution from the priests. The village of Guenejar is slowly sliding downwards to the valley. An opening has appeared in the moun tain at Olmar, from which smoke is re ported to lc issuing. The subterrane an rumblings and detonations are fear ful. Various scientific opinions have been formed as to thecaxseof the open ing, which is considei ed by some per sons to be c' ue to the subsidence of the surface, owing to great yeins in the interior of the earth, While others attri bute it to volcanic action. Parliament has authorized the provinces of Malaga and Granada to raise a relief loan of $400,000, payment of which will he guaranteed by the government. Cave-In Near Shenandoah. SHENANDOAH, Pa., January 9.—An extensive cave-in occurred last night on the wagon road leading irom this place to Frackville, about half a mile south of town. The amount of sur face gone down is yet small, but the ground is gradually sinking and cracking for hundreds of yards. All traffic is suspended over the dangerous locality and it will take a weak to con struct a new road. COOK & SPERRING. ROLLER * RINK.
