Columbia County i$ entitled to tlio stats
scnatorsliip fur tho next term, ami it is hoped
tlialjth!sill bo conceded by the other counties
in tho district without tho usual bitter contest.
We presaut in tho person of Hon. K. J.
Mclicnry, a gentleman of cxporienco in leg
islative matters, having served two terms i n
the Assembly with entire satisfaction to tho
people, who will do credit to tho district, if
nominated. Ho u a careful business man,
and was always at his put to look after the
interests of hU constituents.
There are now thrco tickets in tho (ield in
this county. The GrccnbackcH held their
convention early, to force one of tho old par
tips inln nn endorsement of Us ticket. Tho
Democrat held their convention and utterly
ignored the new party. Tho Republican, be-
ing the last hope wero watched with anxiety,
and when on Monday they nominated a full
ticket without noticing either of tho Repub
lican Greenback canidates, Smith and Barton,
the castles in tho air vanished.
Where now will they turn ?
"Will vou walk into my narlor" said tho
Greeuback spider to tho Kopublican ily. But
tho fly didn't walk. It just met last Monday
and made nominations of its own, instead of
endorsing the candidates of the Greenbackers,
to that party's great disappointment.
Chairman Quay writes to the office hold
ers, making a strong and pitiful appeal to
them for a large corruption fund. The con
test, he "says, looks desperate, and mouey
alone can save tho day. As to the estimated
amount of money needed does not appear,
' but it is said that Quay thinks fully titty
thousand votes must be bought and paid for.
This, at an average ot only live dollars eacn
would "amount to a quarter or a million ;
and to this must be added the large expense
of the ballot box stutters' and repeaters' de-
partments j and yet their cause.is hopeless.
They can raise very large sums of stolen
money, and they can cheat enormously,
but not .enough to beat Andrew H. Dill or
any other man ou the Democratic State
ticket. Not this time. Crusader.

The western trip of Dennis Kearney Is a
failure, as also, was his brief stay In Massa
chusetts. He deserves to fall, and until he
learus something he will Inevitably fail.
The laboring men of Massachusetts are In a
vast majority, and properly organized could
hold the State against any other party. Hut
Kearney divides them at once, lie demands
many things which all can agreo in demand
ing, but others which a majority do not caro
for, and his methods arc not those of law
abiding citizens. It would have been better
for Kearney, better for tho laboring men of
Massachusetts, and better for General Butler,
tt Kearney had remained In California.
Tho condition of the poor in Massachusetts
is so terrible, however, that they may disre
gard Kearney altogether when the time to
act comes, unite on tome definite plan, and
elect a Governor of tho State. They have
the numbers, they have grievances, and they
lack only n leader. They will probably find
one in due time. lie must be a man superior
in all respects to Kearney. And ho must
make the success of the movement, and not
of General Butler, the prime object. The
moro intelligent laboring men of Massa'
chusctts will prefer to select their own caiv
didates for office, aud while they may agree
upon llutler at the proper time, they don't
want to start out pledged to him. lhcy
know they cannot nlloril to do that.
United States troops in large numbers may
at any time, under existing drders cross the
Texas border into Mexico, and, in case of
opposition by Mexican troops will fight
them. This means war and I do not doubt
the Administration has intended that result
all alone. We demand that Mexico snail
do certain things, we do what makes it im.
possible for her to accomplish them, aud
then we fight her for her failure,
The evidence before Mr. Pottei's Com
mittec, at New York, since that given by
Mr. Roberts has been unimportant,
It may be said with certainty that nearly
all the reports received here concerning
Congressional contests in theWestand South
are favorable to the Democrats.
It is now said "by authority" that Mr
Hayes has actually paid to the Republican
campaign fund the money promised by him,
ami that every member of the Cabinet has
nis0 contributed. Mr. Hayes has also written
a etter to a popular irentleman. in Cincin
natj. askine him. as a personal favor, to ac'
ccpt R nomination for Congress against Hon.
Milton Sayler. It will be remembered that
Stanley Matthews was made Senator at the
solicitation of Mr. Hayes. These lnterfer
ences with matters pertaining to the legisla
tive branch of the Government, and parti-
zan contributions, are oddly out ot place in
au administration devoted to civil service re'
form. But, as everybody knows, Mr. Hayes
haa failed ou all those points on irhich he
Promised most.

Yellow Fever.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times from Grenada, Miss. Bays :
'Every" one able to fly from this fever-
stricken town has done so. The ravages of
the dread disease are truly frightful. The
streets are deserted, the Btorea shut up and
only the apothecaries'remain open to trans
act business. I arrived here yesterday, in
company with a small body of nurses, and
never have I seen a town wear a more funer
al aspect. Grenada has a population of
'2,500, half of whom are whites It would
not be far from the truth to say that not
over three or four hundred of tho latter re
main. The rest have hastened away in dis-
may. Where they go I cannot say, for all
the towns on the line of the railway from
here to Memphis are quarantined against
ri0or Grenada. But bo thev do anywhere

was only on Sunday that it was given out
that yellow fever was epidemic here. Eith-

occurred previous to that time were yellow
fever. The disease has spread rapidly since
then and is of the most malignant type. Tho
distress is great. No one unacquainted with
this ternblo scourge can have any idea of the
intense suffering which is visited upon Gre
nada. The city is in a very filthy condition.
The garbage and putrid bodies of dead ani
mals from the sewers were left lying around,

the deaths occur almost entirely among the

different. The negroes have escaped wonder-

A Powder Magazine Struck by Lightning.
A terrifio explosion occurred at a quarter
pat four at Pottsvillo, August 18. Shortly
beforo four o'clock dark, threatening clouds
arose in tho west, accompanied with a few
vivid flashes of lightning. Suddenly thMe
camo a flash, followed instantaneously by n
concussion which shook every houso in town.
Windows wore forced in, doors taken off their
hinges and tho .ceilings of houses knocked
loose in a hundred cases. Tho concussion was
occasioned by tho explosion of a laree!powdcr
magazine, occupied by Weldy & Company of
Taraaqua, and stored hero for delivery when
ordered for uso in tlio mines. Tho mngnzino
wos struck by lightning, and the powder, of
which there woro twelvo hundred kegs, or
thirty thousand pounds, ignited. The Laflln
& Band magazine, which is situated about
two hundred yards from tho ono that explo
ded, contained about thrco thousand kegs,
which was saved, although wild rumors wero
set afloat that its roof had taken fire, and on
explosion moro tcrrilie could bo looked for
momentarily. Hundicds on their way to tho
scene hurried homo to prepare themselves for
tho shock which wa fottiinatcly averted.
So violent was the explosion that the tops
of trees were mowed off, others uprooted and
snapped in twain hko pipo stems, fences
were prostrated in an instant, as if in the
track of a whirlwind, and the earth for miles
was shaken. The powder house was literally
torn to pieces, not ono stono left to mark the
placo where onco it stood. Many of tho
stones, thrco feet bug by a foot or more wide,
were hurled five or six hundred yards, and
sent through tho houcs at Mount Hope.
many of which were literally riddled as if by
a cannonade.
Tho house of James Galbraith, at Mount
Hope, had one end torn out, tho windows all
blown out, partitions and ceilings crumbled to
dust and the furnituro scattered around in
confusiou. Tho houses of David Quimi and
George W. Mortimoro shared tho same fato,
In tho next house a boy named Watson was
struck by a stone on the" leg and seriously in
jurcd. His mother was so seriously stunned
by tho concussion as to require medical atten
dance. Several people working in their gar
dens wero moro or less injured by flyiug mis-
biles. When tho explosion occurred Mr. and
Mrs. Stable, who reside within fivo hundred
yards of tho magazine, wero partaking of
their evening meal. Tlicir houso was literally
torn to pieces. Mrs. Staid was struck by a
stono or piece of flying timbr and knocked
unconscious, and when discovered it was found
that her skull had been fractured. She died
during tlio night. Mrs. Sheeder and a young
lady wero driving homo to Mincrsvillo and
wero within a quarter of a milo of tho maga
zine. Their hnrse was instantly killed by an
immenso stone striking him. Tliu ladies
jumped from the carriage and rati.
Tho worst effects of tho explosion was felt
in I; ishbach, whero a picnic party wero en
joying themselves in a ravine known as
Brown's Hollow. Just as they wero about
to sit down to supper tho explosion occurred,
Instantly there was a sceno of the utmost con
fusion. Amidst showers of stones, large limbs
of trees and earth, children screamed and
clung to their parents. Women fainted, and
men stood as if petrified, imagining an earth
quako had taken place. Richard Vaughn
twelvo years of ago, son of Thomas Vaughn,
night superintendent of tho Atkins Boiling
Mill was struck ;by a largo stono in tho lower
part of the back, carrying away his cntrils and
lacerating his tower extremities. lie died in
a few moments. Andrew Gallagan, aged
ten years, was struck by a sharp stono back
of the neck and his entiro head cutoff. Noth
ing could bo seen of it but a pulpy mass
among the rocks. Among the injured ones
aro tbo following: Itichard Stevens, aged
CO years, right leg badly cut and shattered
It was amputated to save his life. William
llccso, aged 17, right foot and leg mashed ;
amputated at tho knee. Henry James cut
and bruised about tho body and ono leg bro
ken. Knos Black struck on the hip ; ho also
received internal injuries. A great many oth
ers received bruises of a lighter character.
Several ladies wero thrown into convulsions,
ono of whom, it is reported, has gone out of
her mind. All of the physicians of Miners
villo and Pottsvillo responded to the call and
gave their attention to tho wounded as they
were brought in. When tho headless body
of young Gallagan was brought in tho mother
was driven to distraction, and her condition
is such that it is doubtful whether she will
survive tho shock.
Tho damago to property in Pottsvillo is con-
bideiable. Hundreds of private residences
wero left without a wholo glass in thcui.doors
wero wrenched off, ceilings fell, and in some
instances, foundations misplaced. Tho Court
House has not a whole window iu it. Sever
al of tho haudomcstaiued glass windows of
the First Presbyterian Church wero broken.
Houses iu the western part of tho town, which
were in a direct line to the magazine, had
their wholo fronts caved in. Stones wero
picked up a milo and a lialf from tho cxplo
biou, btill hot and begrimed with powdor.
Tho shock was felt at Frackvillc, adistauce of
twelve miles, and the ground shook convul
sively. The report was also heard at Tama-
qua, a distauco of eighteen miles.
Mrs. Walser, who was badly bruised, says
sho was clobo to the magazine when it explo
ded. She says the saw a perfect sheet of flro
leap from the magazino aud extend eastward
to a bend in tho road, about two hundred
yards from whero she was prostrated. Tho
picnic was held fully half a milo from tho
magazino and tlio forest for that distance is
completely hewu. Trees fully a foot thick aro
cut completely iu half and tho grouud all
btrewn with the largo stones of which tlio
magazine was built. The coroner's verdict
is that Ilichard Vaughn aud Andrew Galla
gan camo to their deaths by injuries roceived
by explosion. Thoy find no person or jicrsons
censurable, as the accident was caused by a
stroke of lightning. I havo been informed
by good officials that they would see that tho
other magazine will be removed during the
coming week, for tlio bafety of tho town de
manded it.

have originatid in London about the year

of it to ruins, and utterly destroj ing the old
landmarks. Many disputes arose .is to the
location of lines bctwee.i different lots, and

G. P. undersoil, tho ollL-er in charge of
the English elephant-catching establishment
Mysore, says that elephants travel in
herds mid in st-ict Indian file. When a
calf is born.tlie herd remains with the moth
er two days ; the calf is then able to march
and can cross rivers and climb hills with the
assistance of Its dam. They are fine swim
mers. Mr. Sanderson says that a herd of
seventy nine which he sent across the counry
had the Ganges and several of its large tidal
branches to cross. In the longest swim they
were six hours without touching bottom.
After a rest on a sand bank they completed
the swim in three more. Not one was lost.
Twice around an elephant's foot is said to be
his height, and generally this measurement
is correct. Their size is generally exaggera
ted. Tiio largest Mr. Sanderson ever saw
was nine feet ten inches at the shoulder,
According to an Arabian paper, Al Janaib
the abdication of .King John of Abyssinia
was an act in keeping with the striking ro
mance of his character and career. Men
clek II,, who claimed to be the rightful heir
to the crown in virtue of his descent from
the Queen of Sbeba, had by his pretensions
excited the ire of King John, who marched
against him and, entering the territories of
Shoa, prepared to attack Menelck In his cap
ital, Aukobec. A band of priests, however,
met the advancing King, and rebuking him
for levying war against his rightful sovereign
summoned him to abandon his sacriligious
enterprise and recognize Menelek. King
John was so affected by their words that,
halting his troops, he entered tho city and
in the sight of his army and tho population
laid off his crown and royal robes and paid
homage to Menelek, who embraced him and
conferred new dignities upon him, besides
confirming him iu his original princedom of
Ka8a, Thectory comes in a very round
about way, but is quite likely to be true.
The largest balloon ever made was inflated
in front of the ruins of tho Palace of the
Tuileries two weeks ago. It Is 120 feet high
and is stationed at a distance of 180 feet
from the ground. The enormous expeuso
has been borno by M. Gifi'ard, a wealthy
gentleman of a scientific turn of mind, who
intends to keep the balloon captive, allowing
it to make occassional ascents to a giveu
height Tho car is twenty feet in diameter,
and ooiridor 1 w which the passengers aro to
take their places has a double floor, aud con
tains bixtecn compartments for the storage
of all articles which are required for a pro
longed ascent. Not more than fitly passen-
will be taken at once, and will be carried up to
ae elevation ol tiUOO feet, the balloon being
attached to a cable weighing three tons, and
capable of hearing a tention of twenty. five
tons, or moro man double tbo extreme nres-

trench, which has been dug in the courtyard
of the Tuileries, and will be rolled round an

and was brought gently to the earth by tho

see at a country meeting houso in America,
perfectly clean, but in stylo nnd cut such as
wero worn in America twenty years ago.
They wero out witli their wives nnd children
iu tho parks, on tho streets, in beer gardens,
or fishing with hook and lino in the swift riv
er that flows through the town.
Situated on the banks of tho river Limmot;
bordered on tho East by tho Zurich moun
tain, on tho West adjoining tho Uts mountain
with its steep decliv.tic3 j towards tlio South
opening on tho lake, the shores of which aro
covcred'with picturcsquo villas and villages
with a fine back ground of forest, vineyard
and Alps the scenery of Zuiich (tho On
fYum Taricnm of the Houians) is truly charm
ing. Like tho great metropolis of the United
kingdom, Zurich consists of nine independ
ent communities surrounding the centre will;
a belt of pretty little towns, interspersed
with paiks and walks and country houses.
About 00,000 is the number of inhabitants nf
tho canton. The ccntro of tho town is in part
copmoscd of narrow streets, uno en mil hilly
but on eutcring the new streets and quarters,
ono sees fino solid modern houses Jbuilt of
stone,which if they do not satisfy severe crit
ics of architectural beauty, furui-li a btrong
coutrast with tho older and quainter buildings
of the city. First of all the school houses,
perfect palaces of their kind.aro to bo admir
ed. Tlio splendid pile of buildiugs known as
tlio Polytechnic school and the University is
121 feet loug, 253 fect broad and 53 feet high.
It stands on a hill abovo all tho other build
ings of the city. Tho rear rooms of tho enor
mous building contain geological, niinoralog
ical and technological collections, while the
central part is devoted to archacologyand col
lections of engravings and priuts. All com
bined they form tho best collective museum
ol Switzerland. To tho right of the Polytech
nical school arc the Asylums for aged citizens
mouumcnts of civic charity, to tlio loft
tho Asylum for the blind and deaf and
dumb. There are also the Chemical Libra
tory, Agricultural College, Cantonal Infirma
ryt .093 feet lon, with 3J0 beds, and tho
Astronomical Observatory. Other buildings
devoted to couimcrco and traffic such as bank
ing houses, an immense railway station, and
a palatial Butcher's Hall, givcjto this compar
atively small community tlio aspect of a city
of moro than medium rank.
If the reader desires to know anything
more about Zurich, which is not probable, I
respectfully refer him to the school geography
and tho encyclopedia where I got my infor
mation. Ono scarcely knows what to write
about in these old historic "towns that havo
been written about so much already. Yet
if wo could but have a truo picture of the
trivial things that the tourist sees and expe
riences, I am suro it would bo moro interest
ing reading than descriptions and statistics.
For my own part 1 have been more interest
ed in what I have seen from tho car windows
while traveling through tho country, r in
the streets of different cities and towns, than
in tho much bowrittcn museums, art collec
tions, architectural and other monuments that
every tourist has to "do," listening in a lack
adaisical martyr-like way to the bore of a
guide, telling how many feet long, wido aud
high, this part of tho cathedral is, who de
signed that part or who restored this, the
number of tho statues of saints, their cost per
.saint, and other statistical rubbish. Most
tourists think they must bee just what is put
down in tho Guido Book and nothing more.
Knowing nothing of tlio history or literaturo
of tho countries they visit, they take home
just what they bring, a vast amo'unt of igno
rance, with relics of photographs and pieces
of stone, picked up in this or that ruin.
I got up quito early tho other morning in
Berne, intending to walk about tho city beforo
tho time for the train for Interlakcn. In tho
lobby of tho hotel wero half a dozen Ameri
can school teachers witli their water proofs
and umbrellas. I gathered from their conver-
ation that there was a wonderful clock in
Berne, and I followed them in the rain to sco
it, for in eight minutes it would stiiko. Wo
formed a curious group iu tho narrow street,
looking up at tho old autouiatou, tho market
women knitting over tlicir cakes and fruit re
garding us American savages witli a polito
pitying curiosity. Tho clock struck, and a
horizontal wheel having on it iittlo painted
figures of a bear, a dutchman, a monkey and
a dog revealed ; a iittlo puppet with a mug
of beer in his hand, called Father Timo nod
ded his head and the bhow was over. I hopo
we all felt that wo wero sold. Having lived
all our lives in tlio centre, and in comparative
ignoranco of truly wonderful and useful me
chanical devices, we had gono out iu tho rain
to gaze at the stupid production of a mechan
ical drone.

The democracy ot Pennsylvania unanimously de
clare :
Thnt the republican party, Us measures and Us
men, tiro lesponslblo for tho financial distress, the
ml.cry and the want that now exist :
It has had control of tho legislation of the country,
nnd has enacted and perpetuated a policy that has
enriched the lew nnd lmiioerlliel tho many ;
Its system of ilnaneo has been one of favor to
moneyed monopoly, of unequal taxation, of exemp
tion of i lasses, of high rates of Interest, and of re
morseless contraction, which has destroyed every
enterprise, that pave employment to labor.
Its nresent hold uion ffdernl power wa
by fraud, perjury nnd forgery. Ha laws aro unjust
and It practices immoral j they distress the peo
ple and dotroy their substance.
Tho only remedy for these evils Is an cntlro
oban kg of policy and tho dethronement of those In
powt r.
And we resolve that further contraction of tho
olume of United States legal tender notes is unwise
and uuneee.sf.ary. They should bo received for cus
toms 'l ut It's nnd reissued as fast as received.
Hold siler and United Mntcs legal tender notes
nt par therewith, are Just basis for paper circula
tion. A close connection ot the federal government with
tho biimes.s interests of tho tX'ODle. throuirh nation
al banks, tends to monopoly una centralization, but,
in cnanging ine Hj hient, uuiiunimy ui noius, securi
ty totho note holder, and protection of tho capital
invested, should bo provided for.
Treasury notes.issued in exehango f or bonds,bear
lntr a low rate ot Interest. Is tho best form in which
tho credit of tho government can be given to a paper
currency.
Labor and capital have equal demands upon and
responsibilities to law. Commerce and manufac
tures should be encouraged, so that steady work and
fair wages may bo jlelaedto labor, whilst safety of
Investment nnd moderate returns for Its use belong
to cuplt al. Violence or breach of order in support of
the real or supposed rights of either phouid bo promt
ly suppressed by tho strong arm of tho law.
mo Kerjuunnin nanv. uyus lemsianon in 1872
which reduced the tariff ou bituminous coat from
meta's, paper glass, leather, and all manufactures
of each of them ten per cent., struck a fatal blow at
the industries and labor of Pennsylvania.
