at the Exchange Hotel, Bloom&trar?, Raturdar,

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.

I'olitics liiivo not fairly wanned up

though it is "now understood that Til-

Pennsylvania delegation to the two
national conventions will be for Ran

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

of those whose remains lie beneath

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.

The Opening of a Great Railroad.

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

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

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

Ono of the strainest sights to I
witnessed on thu streets of Canto
China, is that of thu blind leading il
blind. 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.
