The members ot the Democratic standing Com mittee ot Columbia Countr are requested to meet at the Exchange Hotel, Bloom&trar?, Raturdar, Varch tia issi, at two o'clock P. M. lor the pur pose ot selecting delegate to attend the state Contention to b held at Allentown, April Vtb, ISSI. T. 8. KwroKTS, O. A. CLAM, fecf. Chairman. Quite a number of republican pri mary elections were held throughout the state on Saturday last. Nearly all the delegates were instructed for Blaine. A number of the democratic dis trict committees in this state have met and elected delegates to tho S ,ato Con vention. In nearly every instance they aro instructed to vote for Samuel J. Randall for president. The bill abolishing tho convict con tract labor system as fast as contracts expire became me a law of Ohio on lues- day. The new law will make a radi cal chango in the Ohio Penitentiary. Col. A. K. McClure in a despatch to the Times says : The nomination of Samuel J. Randall on an accptable platform would make a desperate con test in Pennsylvania, and would hold New Jersey, New folk and Connecti cut to the party. Senator Mitchell in an interview last Saturday evening referring to the methods used to secure the nomination of Arthur by tho Republican conven tion is reported to have said : "It is possible that if the President uses me power oi ma atiiiiiuisiruiiuii to control the representation from the Southern States he might be nomi nated against the undoubted wish oi the majority of the Republicans of the country." Democratic Harmony at Allentown From the Wllkesbarre Unlon-Lcader, Dem. A Il4rrisburg correspondent of the Philadelphia Times guesses that there will bo no factious contest at the uem ocratic State Convention ; that Con gressman Elliot will be renominated that the convention will be largely for Handall ; that a delegation will go to Chicago for Randall, with Wallace as one of the members, hut that it will not be instructed for him, as Randall himself is committed against what known as the unit rule by his action in 1870 and again in 1880 : and that the Ohio platform,, which is made up bodily from expressions of Jefferson, Jackson and rolk, is about what will bo tli view of the convention on tho tariff, All the signs point with sufficient plaincss to these probabilities to make it reasonably certain that each and every one of them will bo fulfilled And the great advantage of tho uitua tion such foreshadowing presents is its indication of entire peace and harmony in the ranks of the Democracy ot Pennsylvania. The Ex-Attorney General Threatens to Bun a Saloon of his Own. WiutEsiiAiutn, March 18. A citi zens' mass meeting held here thi evening for tho purpose of devising means of enforcing the liquor law, was attended by 2,000 persons who packed the largest hall in tho lilac Speeches were made by Robert Graham, A. it. urundage, Kev. Woodrult am Ii. W. Palmer. Itesolulions pledging support to the judges of the courts m reducing the number of licenses am enforcing the laws were proposed fifty prominent cilizuntj were appointed committee to carry out the purpose o the meeting. Mr. Palmer in his npeeuli said : lilt statement made by tho liar rtsimrg J'atriot that ho was theatrical temperance man was correct, He was politician enough to know that it was always beta to get on ttio win ning side, and if the 200 rum shops in Wilkesbarro are going to dictate to its UO.OUU inhabitants he would start saloon of his own. "For twenty-fivo years,'1 ho said, "every public official elected to office in this county had to bow down to the power of rum, and the time had come when political opiu ion should call a halt.'' A Vein of Sapphire Corundum Found on a Barren Farm. Professor J. C. Wilson, of Chicago, ono of the leading geologists iu the country, has been paying a visit to tho anthracite coal regions and has spent some time in examining tho coal for mations and geological structure of the region outside the coal field. He was requested by Mr. Samuel Werb, a well known fanner, living about twelve miles from Line Mountain, Northum berland county, a few miles from Sun bury, to examine a specimen of miner al which he had found on his farm. Mr. Wilson examined it nnd found il to be a sapphiio corundum. An inves tigation proved the existence of a !)8 inch vein of sapphire corundum, the value, of which the professor estimates at two bundled dollars per ton. The tract on which the discovery wax made is barren and sterile and the fanner had offered tho tract for fnlo at three hundred dollars, but its value becom ing apparent by thu juofci'sor's discov ery he has closed with the agent of u Boston Block company for u largo sum, said to be $50,000, The company in tend developing the vein at once. This usually quiet section is ablaze with excitement nud the value of laud adjoining that on which tho discovery was made has greatly increased. Some time ago the daughter of Mr. Werb, while out berrying, found a largo green stone, to which she took a fancy nud preserved. Professor Wilou examin ed it and found it to bo n fine sapphiio, Slio had It placed in n ring setting. The mineral is of lino quality.

Ihoso who aro fond of visiting his- toncal spots should not fail to go to Christ Church, on Second street above Market. It is one of the oldest churchs in the city and besides its interesting history, there are many curious relics within its walls. The church was re- cently restored, as nearly as possible lo its original condition. We attended services there on Sunday evening and were afterwards shown around by the i"Rii,.in. reuior. in me aisics oi mo church are a number of old marble slab", on which are inscribed the names of those whose remains lie beneath incm. under tne chancel reposes Bishop White, the first Bishop of Pennsylvania, and one of the first in America. In a glass case is preserved the Bible and Prayer Book that was used oetore tho Kevolutionarv War. I hey are curious old volumes. Here is the pew that Washington sat in, or at least, an mutation of it, the original oeing in independence ilal), the au murines reiusing to let it go Hack in the church. 1 he pulpit, tho baptismal louui, too neim, too communion ser vice, Bishop White's chair, aro all there, just as they were more thar. one hundred years ago, and their history is intimately connected with that of tho birth of theuation.

Fortunately, however, OWeVer tins aiiectaiion in epeecli is confined mostly to the citv clergy. Mrs. hangtty closed an engagement hero on Saturday in "A Wife's Peril.'" ono is a very much overrated woman, boing neither beautiful, nor an nctress. Ono could pick out n hundred hand somer women in tho audience than this much advertised professional beautv.

The Opening of a Great Railroad. Tim ilrlvinrr nf Ihn ta.t m.ikn in nnm pleting tho Mexican Central rallroa.1 ,f Kstliii-ilnv Mnrnh. Hlri. n 1m. tmriflni an nvnnl nv llidl Ilia wu curted In tho railroad annals of tho continent. This ijreat roatl extendinc from tllf Kio Uremic for a distance of 1.200 mllo thmllirli ), nnnlrn ofllm country to the city of Mexico, connects with our railroad system so lliat a con tinuous ride in the cars can be had from any railroad point in tho United States to where the halls of the Monte zuma are supposed to have been locat ed. Very little attention was given by the public to this road while it was being built. It was known that a great railroad enterptiso was going for ward in .Mexico in which some capi talists were interested, and that was about tho extent of the interest in it. Its completion came like that of the Union and Central Pacihu railroads, as something of a surprise. In the case of tho railroad across the continent, which was built when public attention was occupied to a great extent by the events immediately following the war, although there were occasional reports that the work was going on, tho pub lic was not fully prepared to hear of its completion when the announcement was made that the road was about to be 0ened for business. The laying of the last rail of tho Mexican road was attended with as much ceremony as was possible at the time. Two locomotives, one from the United States and the other from the city of Mexico, decorated with the American and Mexican colors, after the !a,t "Pike w?9 driven. approached until me cowcaicners touched. 11 was quite different meeting from that which place not far from tho same lr caiuy aooui iwo weeKs more man Mvm years ago between the American and Mexican colors on the battlo held of buena Vista. Had it been predicted at that time that a rail roaa, . connecting the two countries '0l.',d Pa? not ,ar ftrom thefield where . W.0,,U ,;aye.b'en regarded as a vagary 01 """"died fancy. At the time of tho war with Mexico railroads were scarcely more than heard of in Mexico as wild schemes firojected in foreign countries, while wro they were so limited in extent that the troops from Pennsylvania, on their way to the seat of war, were transposed by canal to Pittsburgh where they were shipped by steamboats t0 New Orleans. Nothing marks tbe progress made in the development of 'he material resources and the growth OI power so strongly anu distinctly as "le stnoes mane in railroad untitling in tliis country since that time. It took i... r. - ...! ., .,. weens ui irunspunauon in wiuon sieam To day they could be carried in palace cars, it necessary, on a continuous line of railroad to within a day's march of the battle field of Buena Vista. While tho deeds that were done on that glorious field havo been dimmed by comparison with later military events, it was then that American valor nreoared the wav for tho nossi bilitv of railroad cxtention in that di rccliou through tho ncauired Texan territory, although it came nearlv fortv years afterwards, and the driving of the last spike in the Mexican Central railroad was but a reverberation of the achievements of our army in Mexico u acriot.

It is said that thu sightless people ure wont to form coalitions for their mutual benefit, and iniiv be sueu moving cautiously along iu a proce sion. Each pei son takes n hold of tl peisou in front of him with tho Iu land, and with the right keeps a bam boo pole moving about on tho ground so as to prevent a mission, which those iii front of him may havo avoided simply through good fortune. Iu thi way tho pitiable little band picks it way along tho crowded streets, turning corners and ascending and descending steps with wonderful ease. The prin cipnl responsibility devolves upon tho leader, and ho seldom has less than dozen followers. When Mahono entered tho Senate in the doubtful garb of n Rcadjustcr, who had headed a separate ticket for Iancoek in 1880, and had professed to bo a Democrat, he was sharply cate chised by Mr. Hill of Georgia. Senator Mill unmasked .Mahone, and left him in the Republican camp as a lipendiury of the Administration. Mr. Hill obtained for a respectable colored man, who had been in the ser vico of President Madison toward the nd of his life, an humble place under the Sergennt-itt-Arms. The duties of this place the colored man performed faithfully and acceptably. When the Republican civil service reform- rs in the senate decided to remove the Democrats who were holding ffice in that body, Mahone named Canady of Ncrth Carolina forSergennt-nt-Arms. That officer has control of the principal palionnge of the Senate. One of the first demands made by Ma hone after C.inady's election was the dismissal of the colored man who wed his appointment to the late Sena tor Hill. This is tho Rcadjusters revenge for the castigation he received three years ago. He bided his time and got his satisfaction. POWDER Absolutely Pure. ThlSDOwdern'Jtertarlca.
