THE LAST AND BEST OFFER.
The undersigned, owing to the
hard times, have concluded to
lower the price of subscription.
Hereafter the Columbian will be
sent for $1.50 n year, strictly in
advance. We cannot afford to
make a discount on old accounts,
and therefore subscriptions now
due must be paid at the rate of
two dollars. Old subscribers can
save the difference by paying up
to date, and then payiug $1.50 a
year in advance. All new sub
scriptions must be paid when or
dered.

THE WIPE KILLING MANIA.
For several weeks past the number of re
ports in the daily papers of wifo murderers
and suicides has been something remarkable.
All sorts of instruments are used for the pur
pse. Ono fond husband takes an ax and
deliberately chops his spouso into sausage
meat, beats out the brains of an infant on the
stove hearth, and then scratches his own
throat with a dull razor, enough to draw
blood, just to give tbo act an appearance of
insanity. Another monster goes to his wife's
room and with a revolver puts two balls in
her kbody which bring her to the floor. In
endearing tones he apologizes and says : "Did
I hurt you, dear ; I didn't intend to do it,"
and so to make matters all right he places the
weapon at her temple and blow her brains
oat Another cuts his wife's throat and then
his own, "because he loves her so" and so on.
For many of these brutal murders no causes
aro assigned. Some of them come from the
use of liquor which makes fiends of men ;
some from jealousy, or suspicion of inconstan
cy, and not a few from improper and hasty
or ill advised marriages.
Hen arc apt to ask the hand of a woman
in marriage without having any visible means
of supporting her, and when hunger comes in
at the window, love flics out at the door.
From this point it is but a few steps to mis
ery and crime.
Women are too apt to accept offers of mar
riage without fully considering the momen
tous step they are taking. In Mrs. Wood's
story of Castle Wafer occurs the following;:
'lips gratifying to a young girl's vanity to re
ceive an offer of marriage , to anticipate an
establishment of her own ; to leave her com
panions behind. Marriage is to her a sealed
book, and she is eager to penetrate its myste
ries. It a word from a judicious friend, or a
still, small voice in her own concience should
whisper a warning to wait to be sure she is
on the right path ere she enters its enclosures
irrevocably, both are thrust aside unheeded.
So the wedding-day comes suielyon, and soon
the once eager, careless girl awakes to her
position and beholds herself as she really is
sacrificed. She is the wife of one whom she
cannot love ; worse still, perhaps not respect,
now that she knows him Intimately. There
is no sympathy between them ; not a feeling,
not a taste, it may be in common. But the
tacrifice was of her own proper choosiog, and
she must abide it."
Wife murderers do not often wound them
selves fatally in their attempts at suicido.
There aro two ways, then, in which thii rap
idly increasing crime may be checked. First,
people must learn to enter the married state
with caution, and not until ample time has
been given to know that all is right. Sec
ond, for the public to see to it that no cow
ardly brute who kills the woman he hasprttn
ised to lore and protect shall escape what he
so richly merits the hangman's halter.
Mr. Hayes has been recognized at last.
He was up at Wilkes-Barre last week, and In
going to that place passed through Mourns
burg, where Mr. Buckalew and some one
else got him out on the platform of the car
to exhibit himself. The Columbian gets up
a column local on the subject and refers to
him as ''the first President of the United
States who has ever appeared in Illoomsburg.
Mr. Rutherford ought logo back to Illooms
burg at once. Its the ouly place we know of
where he is looked upon other than as a
fraud and the Columbian is the only Demo
cratic paper we know rf that has discovered
he is not. Bcllefonte Watchman.
As an enterprising journal the Columbian
furnishes its readers with all local news of
interest. Mr. Hayes passed through here,
he was welcomed by the people regardless of
party, he made some remarks, and was fol
lowed by members of his Cabinet, and.we
published the proceedings as they occurred.
As to recognizing him as President of the
United States, we would ask the Watchman
to kindly inform us who (President if Hayes
is not. We have always maintained that
Hayes was not elected by the votes of the
people, but the Democratic party acquiesced
In the measure that resulted in the inaugura
tion of Hayes and he is now the President
of the United Statu. If friend Meek had
read the papers he vouid know that a Dem
ocratic bouse had recognized him as such by
passing a resolution to the effect that the
title of Hayes to the Presidency cannot be
Inquired into now, Hayes was unfairly
counted In, but being in by force of the law
of the land be is entitled to be treated as
such. The people of Bloomsburg did them
elves honor in honoring, not the man, but
the highest officer of the nation. No one
but pot-house politlcIans,moved by personal
motives, would refute to do the same under
almllar circumstances. The President
passed through Illoomsburg and (republished
the fact. We might even be induced to say
that P. tiray Meek was in town if he should
ever favor us with a visit.
Senator Thurman says tbe Democratic
party was never in a better condition for a
contest and predicts a decisive victory in
Ohio for it.
A Contrast Iloyt and Dill.
Mr. Itoyt tin had no experience, In of otitof
office (hat would fit him for governor. Ho
has several times been a candidate for office,
but his neighbors and acquaintances never
believed that he would be of service to them,
and hence they always cast largo majorities
against Mm. He has no experience In leg
islation, knows nothing of it, and has never
bad occasion or opportunity to make himself
familiar with the special wants or Interests
of the people of the state In that regard. His
personal proclivities have made him rather a
seeker of pleasure and luxury than a thinker
and au economist. Two or three years ugo,
when the Interests of the Cameron ring re
quired plausible respectability at the head of
their state committee they appointed Iloyt
chairman and transacted the business in his
name. He answered their purposes so well
that they made him their candidate for gov
erner, though -the people knew nothing of
him. So far as the latter had a voice in the
republican convention they spoke for Grow
aqd Wlckersham, but how utterly in vain
the contemptible vole for theso men shows.
Andy Dill, when quito a young man, was
solecled by his neighbors, who had import
ant interests at stake, as a candidate for the
legislature In a district very largely republi
can, but so entirely did he possess the confi
dence of the people that lie was elected
despite the adverse party majority. He gave
such entire satisfaction that he was the next
year nominated and elected senator, in a
republican district again, to the utter aston
ishment of the republican lenders. Notwith
standing repeated gerrymanderings after
wards in order to ''lay him out," as it was
expressed, he was again elected "every time"
and continued in the senate until he resigned
In consequence of his nomination for gov
ernor. Though never an office hunter he
was always nominated and elected by the
people whenever his name was presented.
His long service In the general assembly of
the state peculiarly qualifies him for gov
ernor. Therein he was required to study
and master the very subjects that tbe gov
ernor will be called to act upon. He always
enjoyed the personal respect and confidence
ot all parties in the legislature,for he always
discharged his duties in the direct interests
of the people.
Here, then, is the contrast between the
two prominent candidates for governor, and
it is for the honest people to say which shall
be chosen. It is not worth the space to re
fer to Mr. liane, the candidate of the pro
hibitionists, or Mr. Mason, corporation at
torney of the nationals, for votes thrown
away . The only choice is between the in
experienced and always defeated candidate
of the Camoron ring.Col. Hoyt, and the ex
perienced, ever faithful champion of the
people, 'Andrew H. Dill, who was always
elected when a candidate,by tbe people who
know him. Patriot.
WASHINGTON LETTEK.
Washington, D. C, July 1G, 187S.
A few days since I made mention of the
removal, by Secretary Schurz, of the Ap
pointment Clerk of the Interior Department.
This office has an importance not generally
understood. Through the Appointment
Clerk the Secretary gets his impressions of
99 in every 100 of the men he appoints to
office. In fact, the character of tbe Depart
ment here depends much more upon i
shrewd appointment clerk, like the one just
dismissed by becretary Schurz, than unon
the becretary himself. Preceding this rc
moval there had been rumors that there
would be a general reorganization of the force
in the Interior Department. These rumors
were probably true. They are confirmed by
persons in situations to know. The reorgani
zation, if it shall take place will unques'
tionably be of great benefit to the Depart'
ment. But some sanguine people believe
that not only does Secretary Schurz mean
this, but that Mr. Hayes has determined
upon a general change among Federal ofli
cials throughout .tbe country. There is
plausibility in this story. Mr. Hayes, if
honest, has been trying ever since he went
to the White House, to reform. the civil ser
vice of the country. Everybody knows that
he has failed if he has made tbe attempt.
He has failed, these Bangulne people say,
because he has not cut aloof entirely from
the party leaders, and now seeing his mis
take, he will go on with his efforts without
consulting them further. Tbe New Yoik
Custom House suspensions were announced
first because there, better than elsewhere,
Mr. Hayes could learn uf the probable
amount of opposition he would have to en
counter. Ills new appeal, his friends say,
will be from Conkling, Blaine, and the like,
to the people. I am afraid Civil Service
Reform will not receive much immediate
benefit If he shall attempt this, but we shall
have tbe liveliest fight of modern times, and
the political atmosphere may be purified
thereby.
Latest reports from the seat of tbe Indian
War seem to show that General Howard's
reported victory over the hostile has had a
wonderfully reviving effect on them. They
appear in large numbers in many localities,
and general alarm is felt among the exposed
settlers in Washington Territory and Ore
gon. luat portion of the Potter Committee
which is now here will visit Atlantic City,
New Jersey, before joining the sub-commit
tee In Louisiana, and will there examine
many of the visiting statesmen as to what
they know about Louisiana affairs,
Though we have been assured that Mr,
Sherman contemplates no immediate proc
lamation of resumption, the weight of opin
ion is that it will have been accomplished
by October 1st, and all of Mr. Sherman's
movements seem to be taken with a view of
reaching that end as speedily as possible.
As Indian matters have forged to the
front, the Mexican situation has temporari
ly receded. ISut Its possibilities for a sur
prise were considered quite equal to the In
dian question, and may yet prove more
startling,
Bemikole.
The Loeal Ouilon Dog Law.
A law making all dogs personal property
was passed by the Legislature, the provisions
of which are as follows : "For whatever
damages dogs may do, their owners shall be
liable, even for the costs and attorney's fees,
if tbe suits be taken to court. Au annual
tax of fifty cents on male and one dollar on
female dogs will be levied, which will be
kept in a separate account by the county
treasurer, from which owners of sheep shall
be compensated when dogs deplete their
droves, provided that the owners of tb
dogs cannot be ascertained. If discovered,
tbe latter must make good the loss. Asses
sors are required to take an account of all
dogs In the; districts, and the names of the
owners. If at lUs end of the year the
amount of money In the hayjdj pf tbe county
treasurer from this Bource exceed? iWen
sum, the surplus is to be divided among ,the
school districts. The adoption of this law Is
jmade optional In counties, A ballot shall
be taken not oftefter than once in two years,
upon acceptance or rejection, and it will re
main with the voters to pronounce upon
lha merits of the measure."

DEMOCRATIC MOIl,
Since I last wrote I havo seen tbo cata'
combs of Paris, where the bones of three
millions of skeletons are arranged, and I
have also seen the great illumination In lion
or of peace and Industry, which it is estlina
ted was witnessed by no less than two and
a half millions of persons. I hardly know
which most to admire tho catacombs or the
fete. As tho old rhetorician said In hi
parablo of Virgil and Homer, tho first was
more correct, the later, moro impressive,
The Catacombs are tho accumulation of the
last hundred years from the auclent ceme
teries of Paris, and they consist of literal
thousands of cords of human bones, ar-
ranged on each side, of subterunean gal
lories, extending for miles in various direc
tions under the city. Our party of about
200, representing many tongues, and both
sexes each with ac.mdle.dcscendedashaftof
102 steps below tho surface of the earth, and
then walked without stopping for forty
minutes before wo reached tho point of as
cent. We had however explored but a small
portion of this populous city of tho dead
for there are as many assixty different places
of entrance to tho catacombs, and we passed
numerous galleries leading off from the one
through which we were conducted. In the
arrangement of the bones (I must say bones
for I did not see an entire individual skele
ton among them) I am again compelled to
admire the Trench talent for ornamentation
In the first place their regularity is perfect.
on the lloor and back to the wall, about a
yard in depth aro arranged leg aud arm
bones, on top of these a larger of skulls,
then another series of limb bones, diversified
with skulls on top. To relieve the monotony
of these long ghastly galleries, tlip skulls
are at intervals for a few rods arranged in
graceful curves, which present to thespecta'
tor as pleasing an appearance as, consider'
ing the material used, could be expected.
Then again the facade is diversified by ar
tistic presentations of death heads and cross
bones, used by druggists to label poisons
but made of the genuine material. We ob
served in passing that many of tho skulls
had bullet holes, some more than one, in the
forehead, others had the appearance of hav
ing been crushed by sabre strike. There has
been no effort made to keep the bones o;
different invividuils separate. Only of late
years have tho bones disintered from differ'
ent cemctaries been arranged in distinct gal
laries, and Prince and Peasant, monarchist
and revolutionist, religionist and infidel
friend and enemy, male and female been
made to exchange and mix limbs in a most
groesque and moral esque manner. "Haste
thee to my lady's chamber and tell her
though she paint on inch thick to this favor
must she come at last." I observed that
many of the skulls were toothless, and from
the way In which an American dentist, (he
said he was a dentist) pulled at the teeth as
we passed, I thought I bad a hint of how
they became toothless. What a ridiculous
mania for relics some people have.
Everything favored tbe great illumination
in honor of peace and industry, that has for
days been the talk of Paris. The weather
was clear and pleasantly cool. The bou
levards were lined on each side with gas
pipes with jets of light about four inches
apart. The trees in the parks and along the
streets were hung with Chinese lanterns. The
public buildings and churches were outlined
in the darkness by jets of gas on their lines
of architecture, and the dome des Iuvaliites
and the church of St. Augustin, especially:
looked like temples of fire. The main ave
nue of the carden of the Tuileries was gor
geous wuu a lattice wort ot light, in various
designs, which shining through glass of dif
ferent collors, presented a scene ot indes
cribable beauty. But by far the most inter
esting part of the spectacle was the hun-
dre Is ot thousands of French thinking,
acting, and speaking men, women, and chil
dren, of all classes, mad with excitement
and happiness, surrendering themselves to
tho merriment of the occasion with a volatile
abandon that some would call childish
and others ridiculous. The incidents and
episodes of that night will not be forgotten
by those who witnessed them, and they will
furnish a key to French character, and to
the tragedy of French history such as can
not be found in volumes of brilliant disser
tation. Hundreds of processions composed
of boys, girls, middle aged and well dressed
men aud women, servants male aud female,
with white caps and aprons, singing the
Marsaillaiso or a love kotijr, were marching
at a quick step in tho direction of the Jlois
do Bologne. The procession was not con
tinuous , but 6cores of crowds of from fifty
to two hundred people each appeared to ral
ly to the standards of self constituted lead
ers. One crowd was led by a bov with a
white apron and bare arms. To seo him
walking backward in front of a mob of
genteel looking men and women, waving a
littlo stick, after the manner of a leader of
the orchestra, while they were chanting a
love song was exceedingly ridiculous. An
other motley division was led by an elegant
ly dressed girl, btlll another batalllon had
rallied to the leadership of a man who had
a basket on his head with his child in it.

I'rrgrrss of Surgical Skill.
Tho wondciful progress of modem surgical
knowledge and skill, aud particularly in tho
United Statos, has again been attested in tho
remarkable, success attending tho caso of lith
olomy, in which Associate Justice Miller of
the Supreme Court of tho United States was
the patient. For a long time this eminent
jurist has been experiencing tlio sufferings and
inconvenience of the presence or the lithio
substance, but continued at his post on the
bench with lrroic fortitude until a short time
before tho operation alluded to was perform
ed. Tho Associato Justice had pcrMiaded him
self that the delicate and dangerous operation
could host bo performed in Kuropc, and under
that impression, through his friends, had civ
tcrcd into correspondence with tho most cm
inont lithotomists there. In answer to an in
terrogatory as to tho proportion of tho sue'
ccssful operations as compared with tho num
bcr performed, ho was advised that the expo
rienco of tho European surgeons was that in
but ono case on an avcrago of twelve did tho
patient recover. This iuforuiation was re
ceived with great discouragement. Tho As
sociato Justice's case, owing to delays and
anxiety, had now Jbecomo most aggravated
and desperate, threatening early fatal results
unless attended to. Tho unfavorable outlook
in tho hands of the European surgeons and
tho pressure of circumstances? necessitating
lmmediato steps for relief; led to a consulta
tion with tho most distinguished surgical au
thorities in tho United States, when, greatly
to tho surprise and relief of tho Associato
Justice aud his frieuds, it was ascertained that
hthotomic operations in this country were em
inently successful, and instead of the propor
tion of fatal results being eleven out of twelve,
as in lEuropo, tho experience of tho United
States was almost tho roverse, tho successful
operations almost numbering eleven out of
twelve. It was decided to abandon tho long
voyages and doubtful results of an operation
in Europe, aud steps were taken to havo it
performed at homo and in Washington, at the
tho patient's own rcsidenco. Dr. Smith of
Baltimoio, who executed tho dangerous task
camo hero, and, attended by several of tho
most skillful resident surgeons, moat trium
phantly achiew'd success, the magnitudo of
which may be judged, when it may bo stated
that the littlo substance was the size of a hen's
egg. It was one hour from tho time tho
ana'.-thctios were ap died till the incised por
tions of the body were stitched and restored
to their normal position. At one tiuio. during
the operation nutters a-Mimed a most critical
turn. The ru-qiiratious had been regular and
free, anil the surgical portion of the task was
progressing very satisfactorily when, at a iiio.-t
dangerous period, the patient showed signs
of choking, and icspiiation became difficult
and labored. Dr. Smith with a presence of
mind equalled only by his nerve took in tho
situation at a glance. By inserting his two
first fingers into tho patient's mouth, forcing
it more open, and extending them sufficiently
into the throat to press tho tongue, which
seemed to cause tho trouble, dowu and out
ol tho way, proper respiration was restored.
The wounded tL-sucs aio lapidly uniting and
tho patient is regarded as being out of dan
ger ; in fact, his physicians say that he is
convalescent, Nor do they anticipate any
return nf tho formation, which they say can
be avoided by unserving a proper dietary leg

when they hauled uut tho letters and read

REMINISCENCES 01' 1 HE EARLY DAYS OF
JUDGE TATTON AND M'CANDLESS.
Tho visit of tho Honorable Judge, Benja
min Patton, to our city a shott time ago, ro
minded mo of an interesting caso which was
tried before him a third of accntiiyago, when
ho was 'resident Judgo ol'tho court of Quarter
Sessions and Oyer and Terminer of this coun
ty. It was that of a young man and young
woman, both residents of Wilkins township,
who had become parents outside tho bonds of
matrimony, and tho suit was brought by tho
father of tho girl to meet tho requirements
provided by law for such cases, or suffer tho
penalties.
Wilson McCandlcss appeared for tho pros
ecutrix, and by her testimony and that of sev
eral others, mado out a strong caso against the
defendent. Tho counsel for tho defense
called several witnesses, two of whom testi
fied that'tlicy had bundled with tho prosecu
trix within a year prior to tho birth of tho
child, and closed his caso with an eloquent
speech to tho jury, in which ho argued that
his clicut ought to be acquitted on that testi
mony. When he concluded, Mr. McCandlcss
began one of his characteristic speeches to
tho jury, and as I was in a position from
which I could sco his every movement, aud
being ono of his cnthusiastio admirers, I can
remember tho points ho mado and much of
tho language housed in that address, notwith
standing that more than thirty-thrco years
havo come and gone since that time. In sub
stance ho said, Gentlemen of tho jury, tin?
only evidence offered by the defence which I
shall notice is that of the two witnesses who
testified that thoy had "'bundled" with my
client, and 1 think will bo ablo to con
vince you that you should givo that evi
dence no moroweiifht than if they had sworn
that they had passed evenings or nights with
her in tho sitting room. In tho sparsely set
tled parts ol our Stato young men often had
to travel miles'to seo their swcethearts.stay all
night, and instead of sitting up, they, with
tho consent of tho girlis parents, would lie
dowu on a bod. That was 'bundling.' "
It was somo years ago, and possibly is at
tho present time, much in vogue among a
largo and very respectablo portion of the citi
zens of our State, who aro noted for tho ster
ling honesty of tho men and the chastity of
tho women. I havo been informed by men
who lived years among them that tho birth of
an illegitimate child was a very rare occur
rence, and when ono was born, its father
was considered a bcouudrcl and driven
from tno community if ho did not marry its
mother. Bundling has been practiced to somo
extent iu nearly all parts of tho State, and
was not confined to any particular condition
of life, as tho exalted as well as the lowly,
tho educated as well as the unlearned havo
been known to indulge in it," and turning to
Judgo Patton, he continued, "your Honor, I
know an honorablo Judge of whom I have
heard that he had been known to have bun
dled on several occasions, yes, your Houor, a
learned Judge." The pointed manner in
which he uttered the last sentence, and the
titter of suppressed laughter which rippled
througlrtbo court room caused Judge Pat
ton, who as was his wont when a lawyer was
addressing a jury, withhis hands clasped be
hind his back, was walking to and fro behind
hisjchair, to stop and say, "I hope tho last re
marks of tho learned gentleman were not
meant as personal." "By no means, your
Honor, the gentleman to whom I referred ro-
sides in the cast."
He turned to his client and took tho child
aud held it in tho hollow of his left arm, and
with tho index finger of his right hand ho
touched its noso and said : "Look at that
nos;, gentlemen of tho jury, and then look at
the noso on tho face of this man" (pointing
to defendant). "Look at its eyes ; look at its
mouth ; look at tho shape of its head, and
then tako another good look at him, and on
your oath each one of you will b6 compelled
to say that it is a veritable chip of tho old
block." Still holding the child on his arm.
he approached tho defendant, and assuming a
very severe lookt ho said in an im prcssive
voice, "if you have ono drop of tbo noblo
blood of your Irish ancestors in your veins do
not deny your own flesh," and by a quick
movement ho put the child in defendant's
arms and continued, "look at it, press it to
your heart and say iu tho presence of this
honorable Court, and in tho face of high heav
en, it you dare, that it is not your child."
The defendant, who was very much moved,
arose ftom his scat, placed the child on its
mother s lap aud said a few words to his law
yer and the latter announced to the Court
that his client wonl marry tho prosecutrix.
