readers may understand thepresent organization
f Ihe mi litm we quote Ihe following from the
Wilkesbarre Record of the Times.
'In 1873 when Gov. Harlranft succeeded to
the gubernatorial chair, he found a large num.
ber of companies scattered throughout the state,
with very little organization, and no efficient
equipment. There were 21 MajorGenerals aud
miscellaneous assortment of military compan
es without regimental organization, except in
Inladelphta and Pittburg.
Through the recomraenda lion of Gov. Harl
ranft a law was passed limiting Ihe number of
companies to '200, wilh a Slate appropriation of
100 to each company. In 1874, another act
was pased reducing the number of Major
Generals to eleven, and providing for the con
solidation of Ihe companies into Regiments,
The riots of 1S77, made a more efficient organ-
zation neceisary, and hence another law was
a&sed by the legislature of 1878, reducing the
numberof companies to one hundred and fifty
nfanlry ; A calvary and 5 artillery, providing
only one Major General to Ihe State and brig
ades. Under this act Governor Hartranft,upou
his retirement, was appointed by Governor
Hoy t the Major General, with the brigade com.
manders as follows: let Gen Geo It Snowden; 2d,
irank Beeder; Easton; 3J, J, K. Seigfrled
Pottsville ; 4th, Jas A Beaver Bellefonte 5th.
H S Huidtkoper, Meadville.
Under this last act and Ihe present command
our Slate Militia haye fctlained an efficiency
equal to any. in the country, excepting, per
haps, Connecticut alone. There is a thorough
organization and equipment throughout. The
troops are all well clothed for active service
and well armed."
There were present on Tuesday, the 7th Reg.
iinent commanded by Col, Caldwell, the 9tb,
under Col Reynolds, the 12ih under Col
Stead and the 13th under Col Boies, the Ash
land Dragoons and the Wyoming Artillerists.

KEEPING POTATOES.
nn uiu larmor says I All larmera 1 havo
known havo grnneriea or corn cribs with lath
floor nnd sides, just tho thing to put fresh-dug
i., i. ....
potatoes Into. All kinds of fruits, grain and
vegetablca give off a certain amount of moia
ture after gathering, and if they nro permitted
to Uo in heaps on tho floor in a cellar or any
where out of a circulation of air, will keep wet.
which lends to produce decay. My practice is
to dig potatoes when tho ground la dry ; pick
them up m dug j keep them covered by
blanket by the sun while in a wagon, nnd placo
them on tho lath in my cdrn bin, about
eighteen inches thick, and leave them thero till
fear of freezing, when ihey are placed in bin
in the cellar. The air ccming up from beneath
keeps them perfectly dry. One fall it was late
when I dug them, and I thought it was so
near the limo lo put them in tlio cellar I would
take them there directly. In a few days I
found they wero decaying. I took them out
and put them in a corn crib,and they dried off
and did not rot afterward.
HEW COLUMDUS ITEMS.
KniTona Cowmman: As your valuablo
paper is generally read by the people of our
borough, I trust n few items from this placo
will be appreciated by your readers.
uur genial townsman, u u Uhapin Esq,, is
doing a brisk business in lumber and general
merchandise Givehim a call ; you are suro
to meet a welcome greeting that will repay
you.
Our ancient borough is full of activity. It
is principally accounted for, by tho large num
ber of students in attendance at the Academy
which is now passing through the most pros
perous period of existence. Never before, in
Iho history of the institution, have its prospects
been as bright as at present. The grade of
scholarship is high, and the attendance is 101,
and thero are new arrivals daily, There is no
primary department connected with tho school,
which aims merely to swell the number, all
aro advanced, grown up students; teachers from
every part of Lnzerne and surrounding coun
ties. It Is well known that Prof Coughlin is
an adept in tho art of preparing teachers for
thorough and efficient work. The classical and
scientific department is principally under
charge of Prof Wm II Harrison, who as a
scientist nnd clasical scholar, has no superior
n thispartcf the State. We wish the friends
of the Academy unbounded success.
Mr T P Swazy, the popular proprietor of
tho down town store is doing a rushing busi
ness. Ho is the prince of funny fellows; if
ho enn'tdrive a bargain with you, he will pass
a good joke. He is the students' man, he says
he would be obliged to retire from business
were it not for the students.
Prof Harrison has organized two military
companies which drill alternately. Tuesday
and Wednesday evenings of each week.
It is to be hoped that the debating club will
soon favor us with some of their interesting
iscussions. This club has no competing rival
n tho county, wo believe, and any one sending
them n challenge will End a speedy response.
Since this is my first correspondence, I will
close for the present and wait for new develop
meuts.

customary to add at this atale of tho process
bdoui naif a pound of glucose (slarch sugar),
or a smaller portion of whit sugar. The cask
should then be allowed to remain In a cool

flavor. In the meantime clean barrels for its

Professional cider makers are using calcium
sulphite (sulphite of lime), instead of mustard
and sulpher vapor. It is mucli more conven-
ent and effectual. Tousell.it Is simDlv re
quisite to add one-eighth tojonc-quarlcr of an

the cask ; first mixing the powder in about a
quart of cider, then pouring it back Into the
cask and giving the latter a thorough shaking

be bottled off.
The sulphite of lime (which ibould not be
mistaken for the sulphate of lime), is a com
mercial article, costing about forty cents
per pound by the barrel. It will preserve the
sweetness of cider perfectly, but unless care is
taken. not to add loo much of it, it will impart
a slight sulphurous taste to Ihe cider. The

AFGHAN REVOLT IN CABUL.
the nniTiaii embassy attacked hy elev
en NATIVE REGIMENTS.
Simla, Sept. G, At a late hour on Thurs
day night a messenger travelling post haste
reached All Kheyl from Cabul aud informed
Major Conolly, theltritisti political lai:ent.
that the British Embassy at Cabul had been
ttacked by several Afghan regiments, and
that the military escort of the Embassy were
defending themselves.
Msjor Conolly telegraphed on Friday
ight the substance of letters received from
the Ameer of Afghanistan, who confirms
the intelligence of the revolt, and adds that
he regiments which have mutinied were
joined by the populace. The Ameer's arse-
al and Btores were first plundered and de
stroyed and the British Embassy was then
attacked by overwhelming numbers. The
Ameer declares that he was completely sur
prised by the outbreak. He endeavored to
uell il, and sent General Daoudshah to
Major Cavagnari'a assistance, but General
Daoudshah was unhorsed and fatally wound
ed. The Ameer then sent bis son. with the
Governor of Cabul and other influential
personages, but the mob was wholly uncon
trnllible. The attack on the British Embassy con
tinued throughout Wednesday, when a fire
rokeout on the premises. The Ameer
writing on Thursday, says he ia in great
distress and is himself besieged.
London, Sept. 8, Intelligence cominu-
icated by the India Office is to the effect
lhat the attack on the British Embassy at
Cabul was begun by three Afghan regiments,
inch were joined later by three others.
Ihe Ameer writes that the troops at the
first outbreak after stoning the officers rushed
to the British Embassy and atoned it.
Several volleys were fired from the Embassy
in return. A second letter from the Ameer,
dated Sept. 4, says: "Thousands assembled
to destroy the British Embassy. Much life
was lost on both sides. I, with five attend
ants, have been besieged all day yesterday,
Up to now I bavo no certain news of the
envoy, whether he was killed in his quarter8
or captured "
London, Sept. 8. The StandartTi corres-
pondence at Bombay asserts that symptoms
of discontent have been noticed at Cabul
for some time. The bearing of the popula
tion toward the members of tho Embassy
nas Deen defiant.
The force defending the Embassy num.
bcred seventy-nine. They fought with the
greatest bravery. It is said that the Ameer's
son was fatally injured. A large number of
the mutineers were killed. After the build
ings of the Embassy were fired, the Burvi
yon sallied out and defended themselves;
but all were killed, Including JMajor
Cavagnari. Intense excitement prevails
throughout India.
It is believed at Paris and Vienna that the
outbreak is due to Russian intrigue.

1IAMA THE riUCTlCAllII.ITY OP THE
PASSAGE PROVEN.
The Swedish exploring steamer Veca.be'
longing to the Nordenskjold expedition, ar
rived at Yokohama, Japan, September 4,
187U, having successfully accomplished th
northeast passage. The health of the entire
ship's company is excellent, I havo Just
seen l'rofessor Nordenskjold, who says that
during tho latter part of February ho sent
a letter to Dr. O, Dickson, of Gothenburg,
from the winter quarters of the Vega, but he
has no Intimation that bis patron has rt
celred it. The Professor says : "We sailed
from Gothenburg on July 4, 1878, and n four
days sail brought u to Tromsoe (a Nor
wegian port on an Island of the same name),
where our outfit of furs and necessaries for
tho high latitudes was comploted. Here we
were joined by the companion steamer, the
Lena. On July 25th both vessels sailed
from Tromsoe, passed through the Yugar
Strait (south of Nova Zcmbla), on August
luere was not a particle of ice to be
seen between Walgatsch (Valgatz, a Rus
sian Island) and the Continent. The Kara
Sea, hitherto dreaded by all Bailors in the
Arctic regions, was equally free from Ice, and
anchor was cast at Port Dickson, near the
mouth of tho Yencssl, on August 0.
"After a three days delay there the two
steamers of our expedition steered northeast
toward the dreaded Taimur land and the
North Cape. The ice arrested our passage
and we were compelled to remain at Tajoyr
(Cape Taimur ?) four days. On August 19,
Tsejdekin, the extreme northern point or
of Asia, was reached, where a short rest waa
taken. The Vega coasted the peninsula,
very little ice being encountered, and an-
hored at the mouth of the Lena river on
August 26. To the northeastward were the
isianas oi ew oioeria, whlctt we soon
sighted, but were unable to explore because
of the great field of ice that girt their shores.
The mouth of the Kolwya river (latitude
09 30 longitude 161 SO'), a broad estuary
was round open, and we hastened to make
all possible progress estward. Our difficul
ties soon began, however,and increased daily
We were delayed much by the ice between
Cape Cook and Van Karema. We crossed
Kolintsehm Bay on September 27 with com
parative ease, but were Imprisoned on the
20th neara'Tchuktchi settlement (latitude
67 V north, longitude 177" 24' west).
'Wo wintered in the pack ice at this point
one mile from land.Theentire ship'scompany
maintained tho best of health and remained
on board. During the shortest day the sun
was above the horizon less than three hours.
and then only tha upper limb was visible.
At this point much time was devoted to In
teresting scientific and ethnographic studies.
There were 4,000 inhabitants In the several
villages near by, who subsisted by fishing
and sealing. They are called the Tchuktchl
and are a very agreeable class of people for
an exploring party to meet. They supplied
the expedition with bear and reindeer meat.
Tho cold was intense, averaging 30 centigrade
(32.2 degrees below Fahrenheit.) The game
was abundant in the spring, wild fowl being
taken In large numbers. We were detained In
the ice at this point 264 days, but were re
leased on July 18 and passed East
Cape into Behring Straits on the 20th. Such
is the story of oar voyage.
"I fully accomplished the object for which
the expedition was sent out by Dr. Dickson
namely, a practical proof of the existence of
a northeast passage. Then the Asiatic coast
was followed and St. Lawrence Bay was
crossed to Port Clarence, Alaska. Thence
we crossed to Konlyan, dredging carefully
in order to determine the formation of the
bottom of the sea, many specimens of the
fauna and flora being obtained. The loca
tion, breadth, velocity and and approximate
volume of the currents of the Arctic and
Pacific Polar currents were charted and
calculated. Having touched at St. Lawrence
Island we next proceeded to Behring Island,
where we received the first news from Europe
through the resident agent of the Alaska
Trading Company. The fossil remains on
Behring Island are of immense variety. A
new marine animal was here discovered,
which we named "Rhytina stellar!." The
Vega left the Island on August 19, and had
a pleasant voyage until August 31, when a
severe gale was encountered, accompanied
with lightning. During the storm the
lightning struck and shivered the main top
mast, slightly injuring several men. We
arrived off Yokohama at half-past eight on
the evening of September 2. All are well
and no deaths have occurred during the voy
age. "The Vega is the first vessel to make the
passage, and I think the voyage from Europe
to Asia by Behring Strait is certain and safe
with very little more experience of naviga"
tion in the Northern seas. From Japan to
the mouth of the Len a river there are no
difficulties in the proper season for experi
enced sailors. The Lena river taps Central
Siberia, and a large prospective trade can
readily be developed. The Vega will re
main at Yokohama about fo urteen days.1

LONDOX LKTTF.lt.
London, August 27th, 1879,
Heavy rains and floods still continue in
England. In tho Wludsor district, the
Thames has risen several inches abore tha
level of the previous evening. During
J uesday night the rising water entered the
gardens of Ibe houses on the north side of
Arthur road, Windsor, These are situated
about a quarter of a mile from the river
channel, the Inundation reaching the back
doors. There is now an unbroken stretch of
water extending northwards of Windsor
across the Brocas to Eton College, tho lake
thus formed being quite a mile In length
and covering acres of pasture land. Wind
sor racecourse Is very extensively flooded,
and the grand stand is almost Isolated, most
of the Olewer Kays, upon which this favor
ite meeting is held, being submerged, Eton
and the college are nearly surrounded. East
ward of Windsor and Eton the riv.r is leav
ing its usual course, and flooding the past
ures and farms. About Datchet, Horton,
and Wraysbury ; and at various places along
the Thames Valley hay and corn crops are
being seriously damaged. Harvesting had
been commenced upon the Prlnci Consort's
firm in tho Great Park nnd elsewhero in
Borks, Bucks, Surry.and Middlesex, but the
inclemency of the weather has put a stop to
the operations, and the cessation of work is
causing great distress among tho poor peo
ple seeking employment in the harvest fields
and who, in consequence of this absence of
work, now find themselves without means of
support. At Old Windsor and Staines tho
floods are also out in various localities, and
the country in the Thames Valley, viewed
from the battlements of the Round Tower of
Wiudsor Castle, looks like a chain of lakes
extending eastward and westward of the
Royal borough for many miles. Hay and
grain lie rotting in places In swamps formed
by the overflowing of the river and ita tri
butaries, and the prospect of farmers are
dismal enough. They cannot now escape
without loss even should the fine weather
set In at once, while a continuance of rain
fcr another week or two must entirely ruin
the chance of harvesting their crops in a fit
and marketable condition.
In Chester farmers are about disnnsinor of
all their store-stock because their hay has
been washed away by the floods. The state
of agriculture In Cheshire is worse than se
rious. The season has been simply disas
trous, and farmers have nothing but ruin to
lace. In the low-lying parts of Flintshire
and Denbighshire things are, if possible still
worse. Turnips, mangolds, and hay, good
proportion of wheat acreage ii to be looked
to; but in the counties enumerated the
roots and corn crops are all buried in wa
ter, and when the water subsides the des
perat agriculturists will be presented with
a cast-up sea of mud-seed, manure, labor, all
buried in the horrible quagmire. On Tues
day some Cheshire farmers commenced cut
ting white oats, but the dense rain of to-day
will not only stay operation, but it will ef
fectually prevent corn, which is already fully
a ninnth behind, ripening. With hundreds
ofui-rrHiif laud under water, hay washed
away, corn soft in tho ear and beaten to the
ground, with birlcy promising only half an
average yii Id with quite half the potato crop
losl, nn.l with little promise of a fair
suppiy of roots, tho prospect of the farmers
In this quarter aro dismal Indeed.
At the meeting of the Board of Guardians
at Sltlingbourne yesterday the effects of the
disastrous weather were Bhown by statistics
presented by the workhouse master, from
which it appeared that during the last week
no less than 231 persons had been admitted
in to the casual wards. This number is an
increase of 129 over the corresponding week
of last year, and is the blghost ever known
since the establishment of the workhouse.
The 231 persons were made up of 137 msn,
53 women, and 41 children. Many of them
have apparently come to the neighborhood
for the harvesting and hopping, but in con
sequence of the continued wet much of the
corn still remains standing, and what few
hops there will be to pick will not be ready
for some days yet. Thero Is no doubt that
throughout Kent the growth of hops will be
much smaller than in previous years, and
there is no prospect whatever of the multi
tudes who usually emigrate from London to
Kent for tho hop-picking finding employ
ment this season. The fact cannot be too
widely known, as tho Incursion of 'hoppers'
Is likely to be aa great this
year as it has been in prosper
ous seasons. A very lamentable state of
things, and much misery to these people
must be the result. The fall of rain was in
cessant yesterday, and, while agricultural
operations are paralyzed, work in the brick-
making factories is also entirely suspended.
iNot only will there be many millions less
bricks turned out this year than usual, but
the weather is such that those which have
been moulded cannot dry, and in some fac
lories the newly made bricks are dropping
from the stacks.
A Balloon Line.
PROrOSINO NOW TO BUILD A RAILROAD IN
THE AIR THE DETAILS.
Several publications have lately been
made in regard to a projected line of bal
loons to run between Spanish Fort and New
Lake End. It has been found impractlca
hie to construct, without great expense, a
railway between these two points, owing to
the swampy nature of the ground.
The details of the contemplated balloon
line have now been correctly or fully stated
and are given below. Theplanisnotorlginal,
bo far as the principles Involved are con
cerned, but the application Is ingenious. It
Is well Jknown that, while balloons have
been constructed which are capable of sus
tainlng very large weights, no successful
method of directing the course of the air
ship has been devised.
The plan referred to above utilizes the
full lifting capacity of tho baloon, and pro
vldes tho means of controlling its move'
ments.
Spiles or posts are set along tho lake shore
making a complete circuit, resembling
telegraph Hue. Along these posts on the
top are placed guido rails ofa peculiar form.
Fitting these rails, and sliding freely on
tnem, aro riders or attachments, to which
are made fast the guide ropes holdinir aud
guiding the balloon, and so arranged as to
urace it agaiust the wind from any direction.
Fitted In the posts are pullevs. over which
U passed a wire rope, making a complete
circuit ine u belt.aml glidlug on the pulleys
and this rope U moved at any rate of speed
lv au wiglne stationed at a proper point in
uio circuit.
The balloon is mado In an elliptical form,
the length twice the height and polntej at
the ends, thus giving the lea surface for
resistance to the almoaphere. From this
suspended bv he netting which euvelons the
bajlnn.1, Is an Iron frame, on which the car
Is hung by double pivots, similar to a ship's
binnacle. The weight being in the car. it
remains in its proper position, being braced
dv ine guide ropes, wh lie the float or l,al,
loon oscillates above it If moved by the
wiau.
ibe ear Is fitted with a grappling at.
tachment which passes through tackle in the
frame and to the car. The moving wire rope
is seized by the 'grappling hook and tho car
and float move forward, drawn by tho end
less rope and guided by the rudders which
slide along the rails, from which it is im
possible far them to become detached. If
It is necessary to stop, the grapple can be
let go instantly and the car stopped. Any
number of cars can be used following each
other at short intervals.
The guide ropes can be lengthened at
will and Ihe car allowed to float at any
desired height, being under perfect control.
The posts having only the weight of the
guide rails and no grading being required,
It will be seen that the cost of construction
is comparatively small.
This plan appears lo be feasible It
remains to be seen how it will work when
put into actual operation. If the attempt
is successful, the aerial rout will be exten
sively patronized. It Is understood thsta
company is being formed to undertake the
enterprise. Ai7 Orteant Picayune.
A mysterious dinner party was given some
short time ago, by an elderly gentleman, Id
the Hotel Dmuth, at St. Petersburg. One
morning the gentleman in question called
upon Mr. 1'intscher, the manager of the De
muth restaurant, nnd ordered a luxurious
repast for six, of which he, himself, made
out the menu, selecting from the wine card
the costliest vintages. He asked for an es
timate of the dinner's cost, paid the amount
of his bill in advance, and requested that
everything should be prepared for the en
tertainment of his guests at 7 o'clock pre
cisely tho same evening. At that hour ho
entered the room reserved for his banquet,
and took his place at the head of tbo table.
To tho chief waiter's respectful inquiry,
'whether he expected his friends to arrive
soon, as the dinner was quite ready,' he re
plied, 'They are all here I Let tho tout) be
sorved forthwith I' By his exprcJc command
the puzzled attendants then proceeded to
help the absent guests to course after course
sitting down full plates before the empty
chairs, and pouring out precious wines into
the groups of glasses stationed before each
untenanted place. The gentleman ate and
drank copiously, now and anon clinking his
glass against tho masteriess goblets ranged
upon the table to his right and left. With
the first round of champagne he arose and
made a speech to bis imaginary friends,from
the tenor of which oration the waiters gath
ered that they had been engaged in attend
ing to personages long since defunct. When
the gentleman had concluded his remarks
he again went through the clinking formal-
Hy, drained the contents of his glass, and
turning to Mr. l'mtscher, chilled that
amazed functionary's blood by the following
ghastly statement : 'To-day I celebrate my
yful meeting with my beloved relatives
tuy dead wife, daughter, and three sons, two
of whom fell In the last campaign. Do not
be afraid ; I am not mad. It has done mo
a power of good to spend this happy hour
or so with my family. You may look for
me again on tins day twelvemonth.'
