THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TIUJRSDjyI', JUNE 8, 1871.
THE LEAS It
ft h United ComponUi of New Jet-icy
Toy the Prnnaylvnnla Railroad Com
pany. '
When we look back t few years and review the
rabllo spirit manifested by Fhlladelphlans, and the
nxlety felt lJ them to have a great railroad lead-
mm ng from the West to make Its terminus la this city ;
Vuen wejremember how liberally the citizens and
tie corpoi atlon of Philadelphia itself Bubsorlled to
hese pabllo works, and bow enlarged their expec
tations were that this great work would aid to build
tip her commerce and manufactures, and make Phi
ladelphia what her geographical position and
superior harbor for shipping entitles her to become;
when we reflect npon the many improvements
made by this great company in and about oar city
the building of extensive wharves and piers on toe
Schuylkill and on the Delaware, of grain elevators
on the Schuylkill and Delaware, ol railroad bridges
and branch railroads to conuect with the wharves
on the Schuylkill and on the Delaware, at which
ooal, oil, and other freights from the Interior of
Pennsylvania and the West are shipped Into vessels
to ports in the United States and abroad ; and when
the citizens of Philadelphia, with the liberal aid of
this powerful company, are about to build up a
Steamship line from this port to Europe, and While
fondly hoping that their beloved city will again
ocenpy a high commercial rank pmong the cities of
the United States, they find that Philadelphia's boast
and ride, the great railroad of Pennsylvania, is aoout
to change her terminus to New York and add an
other bright Jewel to the crown of a sister city's
greatness, and thus deprive Philadelphia, her flrst
love, of the advantages now realizing and which she
had good reason to expect to realize for all future
time.
With the road extended to Jersey City follows the
traffic now landed and shipped at Philadelphia (giv
ing employment to her people), except what may be
used In Philadelphia. All the rest will pass over the
railroad and be shipped at Jersey City, and thither
of a necessity will the projected steamships make
their harbor for discharging nnd for receiving their
cargoes for foreign ports.
The city of Philadelphia possesses advantages that
should make her the great city of the United States
her harbor la unequalled, capacity unbounded, and
access from the ocean easy. There Is no reason why
she should not grow Into commercial Importance
faster than any city In the United States. The State
of Pennsylvania is unsurpassed in mineral wealth
her coal and Iron ore have made her the leading
Iron-manufacturing State of the United
States. The city of Philadelphia Is the
first In rank as a manufacturing city,
and to that, of late years, rather than commerce,
her capitalists have paid their attention, but that
superiority give her, over all other cities, advantages
for commerce. New enterprise should be
Instilled Into her citizens, and her large
capitalists should stimulate the building of ships aad
endeavor to prevent the railroads and canals of
Pennsylvania from passing by her and adopting New
York as their shipping port Instead of Philadelphia,
the natural outlet of Pennsylvania's public works.
How different the policy pursued by that great
public work, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, now
stretching her arms In the far South, We and
North, and all to build up the commerce of Mary
land's great city, Baltimore. There all her coal and
freight are shipped, and the management of that
public work has made the city of Baltimore its
ptrmanent base of operatiftt. and from which it can
not be seduced. That public work, like the Penn
sylvania Halroad, connects with the lines to New
York for passengers and freight by r ill eklog that
city, but the Baltimore and onl Hallnad sends no
thing away that she can ship from the city of her
her attachment, and by the lustrumentallty of
that great company Baltimore now sastiana a
larae steamship line to Europe.
The above thoughts have been suggested by the
Indifference manifested by the enterprising citizens
of Philadelphia, the authorities of the city itself, and
the Philadelphia press, while negotiations are going
on lo remove the business of the Pennsylvania Rail
road to New York. A Philadelphia.
DICKINSON COLLEGE.
Commcucemeut Week at Carlisle The
Preliminary Exercises The Graduating
Class.
From Our Own Correspondent.
Carlisle, Pa., June T.
The commencement exercises of this veuerable
Institution of learning began on Sunday, the 4th
Inst., with a discourse by Rev. William Butler, D. D.,
before the Society of Religious Inquiry, in Emory
Church, and In presence of the Joint congregations
of the two Methodist churches of the borough.
The speaker's wide repute for scholarship and
eloquence, and the knowledge of the Impressive
Bermons he delivered here during the last session
of the Annual Conference, drew a large audience to
hear a masterly discourse on the Redeemer, as set
forth In the Old Testament In His legal and social re
lations, and the application of these to the person
and the work of Christ. All came expectant of
great and good things, and none went away disap
pointed. In the evening of the same day, several churches
ef the borough were closed to allow their members
an opportunity to hear the Baccalaureate sermon by
President DasUlell. The burden of his discourse
was "Jesus, as the d etermlnlng force of our human
life. The eloquence of President Dashlell'a appeals
to the graduating class was evenly up to, lf not
over, hla best efforts on other occasions, and which
have ranked him so high among the American pulpit
orators. The President sketched the great fact that
while the progress of the race was through antago
nisms, yet Christ was the power shaping and con
trolling these antagonisms for human good. He
rantdiv outlined a series of facts which showed that
the advent and ministry of Christ were the great and
central facts of human history ; that the grand evo
lutions of human history In this Western World
were the results of the life of Jesus la the affairs of
men ; aud that humanity, with ail Its hopes, leathers
about the saviour's work.
On Monday evening the Juniors entered Into an
oratorical contest for the gold and silver medals.
These are known as the Plerson prizes. Ttiecou
testanta were W. E. Wright, of Delaware; D. J.
Myers, of Philadelphia; B. F. Armstrong, of Ohio;
T. M. Griffith, of Maryland; George It. Willis, of
Baltimore; and D. W. Hart, of Lisburn, Pa. Tne
Judges have not yet made '.heir decision as to whom
the gold and sliver prizes shall fall. Ad the speeches
were good, some brilliant, and worthy of tne fame
which places so many of the clerical Dickinson gra
duates aruoDg the finest pulpit orators of the laud.
Class day is tne great nay for the btudeuU. A
larger freedom of speech than usual Is allowed, and
the peculiarities and oddltlea.the haps aud mishap,
of the memoers of the class come lu lor a fair share
of pleasant satire.
The authors of college pranKs, jokes, and the
like are then for the first time maiekuowuto the
public. This the historian gives, but the seer gives
his prophecy of the future of each member of the
Claan. These features of class day are susceptible of
grave abuses, but can be made the occasion of lu
nocent enjoyment aud a large display of humor, an
outlet for all the genuine spirit of fun that may be lu
the class. The orator of the class thin ye.r was
David K. Watsou, of Londou, "hlo; the poet, Joliu
L.thellv, Of hhlreuiaustown. Pa.; the historian. Mil
lard K. Thompson, ol Carlisle; and the prophet, Wil
liam K. Woodward, of Washington, D. C. To attend
the exerulses of class day a large and brilliant
assembly met in Emory Church at half-past uiue
o'clock on Tuesday morning. The exercUea passed
Oft pleasantly, and the assembly adjourned to meet
for the remainder of the order of class day exer
cises Id the college campus luthe afternoon, when
the class reassembled la the college grove. The
beautiful pagoda la. the deep shade or a cluster of
trees formed the centre of the assemblage of citi
zens of the town, strangers, ex-coileire professors,
cltrsymen from abroad aud fro-n the
town, students of the college, and their fair friends,
the alumul of the college, aud Us fnemu la srsueraL
All these assembled to listen to the parting kpeeclies,
and, above all, to witness the premutations made by
the class to each of Us members, the list of article
embracing almost everything from a cigar -case up
to a Bible ana aown to a razor, a. .laiur leature
of ihe occasion was the oxford cao wolch ncd

SCIIKNCK'8 MAKDRAKE PlLLS.
The Liver la an organ of great Importance, so far
as a healthy digestion and proper nutrition of the
body are con erned. The fact In, that a large ma
jority of all the diseases to which the human family
Is liable are caused by a deranged aotlon of the
Liver, and consequent Impaired digestion and im
perfect nutrition. It Is a well-known truth,
that a d'sordered Liver will cause an almost Infi
nite variety of disease, and create almost every
conceivable symptom that disease In Us protean
form presents; hence the great Importance of a
healthy action of the Liver in order to keep the
system free from disease, and as a consequence a
good digestion, perfect nutrition, and a good old
age are the results.
In past ages, for disordered Liver, mercury, In
ome of its forms, was regarded as the only remedy ;
but as this drug acts upon all the secretions allke,and
being a mineral poison, Its use would produce sali
vation and a breaking down of the vital powers.
A desideratum, long desired, was to discover
a remedy for disordered Liver that was as effica
cious as mercury and free from any of Its injurious
results. After long and patient research In the
vegetable kingdom Schenck'i Mandrake Pills were
discovered, having for their basis the.Podophyllum
Peltatum of botanists, but known In common par
lance as Mandrake, combined with other equally
efficacious vegetable Ingredients, which la peculiar
to Schenck's Mandrake Pills, and cannot be found
in any other preparation.
These PUls have been very extensively used for
years, and never have falledjto relieve all derange
merits and disorders of the Liver, as thousands of
living witnesses can testify. Ia no one Instance
where they have been nsed, either by the smallest
child, most delicate lady, or robnst man,
have they ever produced any Injurious
effects, but, on the contrary, the most
disordered Liver, in thousands of cases, by the use
of the Pills have been made to secrete a healthy
bile, as has been seen in the evaouatlons, restoring
this most Important organ to a healthy condition,
giving to the hitherto unfortunate Invalid restored
health, freedom from despondency, peace of mind,
and renewed happiness and pleasures In life.
A Good Watch. The punctuality of railroad
trains has created a demand for better watches, and
American Ingenuity has supplied them. Oar old
correspondent, Dr. Hill, late President of Harvard
College, carried a Waltham watch over the Rocky
Monntalns, comparing It as he went and as he re
turned at the observatories of Cambridge and Chi
cago, and a coast survey longitude station at
Omaha. The watch was gaining l second and forty
one-hundredths a day, and did not vary from that
rate one-twentieth of a second In twenty-seven
days. Bring forward your watches that can beat
that ; we should like to see them. These wonderful
Waltham watches are for sale In this city by Rob-
bins, Clark & Blddle. From the Evening City Item,
