Wc believe it was the first Napoleon who
remarked, that there was bnt one step from
the sublime to the ridiculous. The truth of
the saying is well illustrated by the semi
official announcement from Uarrisburg, that
the man whose stalwart legs since the war
are too full of bullet hole? to dance, is anx
ious to be the successor of Simon Cameron
in the United StJftes Senate !n 1873. If it
had been stated that John V. Geary was
"fixing things" to make himself the succes
sor of Grant, instead of Cameron, it would
not have excited any undue astonishment.
Geary is fully the equal of Grant as an ora
tor, while he surpasses him, in his own esti
mation, as a military hero. We do not
know that Stonewall Jackson ever expressed
any fear of Grant, bnt is it not a part of
the history of the war, Geary himself being
the witness, that Stonewall, at a council of

flocked into the Capitol forgetting for a time
all constitutional rights, all the original pur

They called upon the war power of the Con

we will use the Capitol as a fortress ; and

The initiatory step in this Senatorial gatce
is about being taken by Geary's private
secretary. Dr. Gihon, who has resigned his
positiou and intends . publishing a daily
paper at Harrisburg, with the view of ad
vancing Geary's interests as a candidate for
Senatorial honors. T wenty years ago, when
there were political giants in the land, the
bare statemen t that a man of the mental
calibre and unbounded vanity of John W.
Geary aspired to a seat in the United States
Senate, would have been received with su
preme derision and contempt. The Senate
could then boast of such men as Webster,
Clay, Calhoun, Benton, Buchanan and other
eminent and distinguished statesmen, whose
great abilities and public services have con
ferred honor and renown, not only upon
themselves, but cpon their country. The

there should be no more war, the politicians
of a party in this country took possession
of that citadel of our freedom, and Ijave
abused it from that day to this, not as a de
fence of the constitution but as a simple
emolument for their own advantages.
What has been the result? Where do we
stand to-day 1 I1 mean to say, and I say it
with a tense of responsibility, that to day
there is nothing of the old Constitution of
our fathers left to us except what was al

a mere incident of constitutional power, and
that is the war power. (Applause.)' That
is what we are living under. ThaC is the
thing under which the present CorratStuTiun
of the United States has been built, for do
not imagine for a moment, when I speak of
the Constitution of the United States, that I

making a vigorous effort to induce his negro
constituents of the first South Carolina dis
trict to return him to his seat in Congress
which he has dishonored and disgraced.
This superlative degree of brazen effroutery
cn his part does not at all astonish us. It
was to have been expected, and is in perfect
harmony with the brse acd groveling in

infamy, be ought to be arrested under the
Act of Congress of 185S and prosecuted to

radical political cauldron commenced to boil,
the scum was suro to rise to the surface.
It has come in its meanest and rnobt una
dulterated form, and its baleful results are
plainly to be seen in both branches of the
national legislature. The Senate is now
dwarfed and belittled by the presence of
such creatures as Warner and Spencer, Mc
Donald and Rice, Osbornand Gilbert, Harris
and Kellogg, for the frontispiece, with the
! Rev. Hiram R. Revels as tho daik picture
in the background. These men are all the
inevitable and natural political spawn of the
rebellion and have slimily crept into the
Senate, without any intelligent or substan
tial constituencies. If, through the rapid
and startling revolutions of the wheel of po
litical fortune, John W. Geary Bhould ever
become a Senator from this State, a result
which may all the gods forefend.. he would
find a congenial place among the adventurers
and carpet-baggers whom we have named.
We cannot, of course forecast the political
future.for the ways of Radicalism are crooked
and hard to understand, but the day on
which Geary shall be elected a Senator of
the United States from this renowned old
Commonwealth, will be a day of darkness
and political despair. When that disgrace
ful event lakes place there is just one thing
more that ought to bo done, in order that
the cup of her humiliation may be filled to
overflowing, and that would be to elect
John W. Geary's man Friday, the immortal
John Covode, as his colleague. Then could
the old Keystone State, like the Roman
matrsn when sbe was asked to show her
jewels, point with conscious pride to those
two illustrious son6 of hers and exclaim,
"there they are!"
Knownoflilnglfiu Revived,
Our readers are aware that a bill has been
introduced into the State Senate by one
Rutan, who is a Radical member of that
body from the Washington and Beaver dis.
trict, which proposes to authorize a smelling
committee, to consist of three persons, to be
appointed by the Court, to make visits to
and examinations of the manner in which
the nunneries and other Catholic institutions
in this State are conducted. In reference to
this novel and unprecedented species of leg
islation, the Harrisburg correspondent of the
Blair County Radical uses the following
plain and emphatic language. We will not
now take the time to make any comments
on the insane and bigoted remarks of this
Harrisburg scribbler, but will simply call
the attention of a certain portion of the Rad
ical party in the northern part of this coun
ty, to what this correspondent says on the
subject. The persons to whom we refer are
ranch more uumerons than would be required
"to make a respectable funeral procession on
a Sunday."
Senator Rutan's Catholic Inspection bill
has raised considerable dust. Ho prejented

A Phenomenon in Maine. A correspon
dent of the Lewiston (Maine) Journal says
a singular phenomenon occurred last week,
in the field of John Gould, Jr., in Lisbon.
A loud noise was heard in the vicinity, on
the same day the shock of an earthquake
was experienced in Richmond. People rushed
out of doors and looked around to discover
the cause of tho noise, but nothing unusual
was to be seen. Sitce then, it has been found
that a large mass of earth had been lifted
from its place, in Mr. Gould's field by some
unknown power. The earth removed is
nearly in the form of a parallelogram on the
surface. It is about twelve feet long and
four feet wide, and is folly a foot thick or to
the depth of the frost. It is as regu'ar, and
the corners as well defined, as though cut
by a 6aw, and was thrown out apparently
by gome tremendous power exerted by all
parts alike, as it was deposited "right side
up," half its width from the place it former
ly occupied. The ground on one side of the
hole is puffed up about six inches, to the
rising land, about a rod distant.
Some ugly rumors are on the wing with
reference to the management of the Soldiers'
Orphan School of this State. Perhaps the
movement in the Senate is based upon facts
darkly shadowed in the hinted transactions.
It is rumored that in some instances stock
has been distributed in such a manner as to
drop into the lap of some persons connected
with these Orphan Schools, and in otherj
the quarrel is over the cost of certain articles
furnished to the Schools. Of the point and
body of these rumors we know nothing ; but
there are those who believe, that if anv
investigation is ordered, thero will be resig
nations here as well as in Washington. But
"it is not our funeral." The Radicals have
the Legislature and the Orphan Schools,
and they must satisfy the public that all
this ia right.
Railroad Matters. The tea traffic over
the Pacific Railroad is increasing, and is des
tined to be a source of great revenue in the
future. One thousand packages of tea. the
cargo of the ship Benefactress, at San Fran
cisco, have gone forward to Chicago, by rail.
The remaining 10.000 packages are ordered
to be shipped to New York by the consign

An eighty thousand dollar tannery is to

thing which now we see there in Washing
ton 1 Is that built of thr.se stones ? Is that
put together by any such bands as those
which cemented the old Capitol? Why,
gentlemen, it is built of the volcanic lava,
hot yet from the results of the outpouring
of tho mount (applause), and it is clamped
together by great bands of black, rusted,
iion fetters. (Applause.) It's no such ed
ifice at all ; and now we have in the Presi
dential chair a man who, when he swears to
protect and defend and preserve the Consti
tution, seems to think that this is the Con
stitution which he swears to preserve. Now,
my friends, what is the course for us t pur
sue ? What are wo to do in the face of the
fact that we see a despatch coming over the
wires from the State of Georgia, which, even
under Radical ideas, has been leng ago in
the Union, saying that the Legislature has
met, and that certain gentlemen have been
turned out of their seats for di2ability, cer
tain others for being illegally elected, and
certain others for certain other things too
numerous to mention? Why, gentlemen,
why ? Because the people of the State of
Georgia believe they ought not to be there 1
Because the members of their own body have
passed upon that question, and decided that
they were not legally elected? Why, gen
tlemen, you are old-fashioned You are go
ing back to the early days of the republic.
No. Because Alfred J. Terry, Maj -General,
rays they shan't go into the Legislature.
(Applause.) That, gentlemen, is the Con
stitution under which we live. What, as I
said before, is the policy to be pursued ? It
seems to roe. I confess, that thero is but one.
I don't know what the other gentlemen may
think, but after carefully covering the whole
ground as well as we could, I am pursuaded
that there is no hope in the men who have
done these things, no hope whatever. They
have actually brought things to such a pass
that it is now good constitutional law that
a State may be dragooned in amending the
Constitution of the United States. A State
may be required by the force of the bayo
net, or by such other forces as they may
please to exert, to give its free consent.
(Laughter.) Gentlemen, the other day,
there was a proposition made in our Legis
lature by a very admirable gentleman, a
colored gentleman by" the name of Ruffian,
to fire a hundred guns on the Common in
honor of the passage of the fifteenth amend
ment. The fifteenth amendment is about
to be proclaimed by the President of the
United States as a part of its Constitution.
I was only sorry that'I was not in the Leg
islature to propose as an amendment to it.
that the United States be humbly solicited
to allow the State of Massachusetts to fire
that salute from Fort Warren, and that the
guns might be shotted in order to Bhow the
process by which the amendment had been
carried. (Loud and continued applause.)
It has occurred to me, having no confidence
that the dominant party will ever amead
their ways, that there is but one way out of
our difficulties. The difficulty now is not
to defend the Constitution of the United
States. We are not placed in the positions
of Andrew Jackson and Daniel Webster.
We have got to reinstate the Constitution of
the United States. ('Applause.) And, gen
tlemen, we have no bold leader like Andrew
Jackson ; we have no gigantic pleader like
Daniel Webster to lead us in these days.
We can. rely only upon ourselves, the" rank
and file, the meu who are here before me and
others like them. You remember the great
and beloved General Banks'who, when he
swayed, as he did once, you know, the scep
tre of the old Commonwealth of Massachu
setts, among bis other beneficient and happy
acts, made the humble iudividual who ad
dresses you a trial justice ef the County of
Norfolk. (Laughter.) One of my first acts
as trial justice was to issue a warrant, and I
sat one day, with judicial impatience, await
ing the culprit. He was brought in a
magnificent, handsome, six-foot Irishman.
He had, very apparently, been on a "tear,"
but still bis personal appearance was emi
nently prepossessing, at least to me, and I
asked bim to sit down. I heard with great
patience the evidence for the prosecution,
which was tolerably clear, that my friend,
in the exorcise of his convivial iuatincts, had
capsized the gentleman with whom he was
drinking, and had thrown him on a stove,
which was hot, and bad considerably injured
his personal appearance thereby. (Laughter.)
I heard the evidence, as I say, and then, as
is the duty of a juBtice, I turned to my hand
some defendant, and, said I : "Patrick, you
FAYING FAR51ISO.
Two things are true of farmers as a class.
But few of them ever come to actual want.
and but few ever attain to great wealth.
Probably no business affords so sure an
avenue of support, and this is no small con
sideration in theBe days of fluctuations.
The majority of farmers feel that farming is
perpetual slavery, because that after hard
steady work from one year's end to the
other, they find themselves just where they
started from. The price of farm products
are high, the farmer is economical, sells the
best of everything, denies himself and family,
is up early and late, and just keeps his head
above water. We think this is a faithful
picture of the majority of farmers. A few
like John Johnston, of Geneva. New York,
rise gradually from this position to one of
abundant wealth. What makes tho differ
ence between these two classes ? We answer
that the difference in every case is in head
work. The majority of faimers tread right
on in the old paths regardless of the immense
improvements that have been made in mod
ern agriculture, improvements as important
as the application of steam in mechanics or
the loom in manufacturing. Suppose a
i manufacturer disregarding the fact of the
loom should attempt to make cloth as our
grandmothers" made it ? Why he could not
come into Competition at all with other man
ufacturers and' would lose ground. He
would stand just' in the position- '.Jitat thoi
sands of farmers occupy ,wbo ignore the" rriod
ern improvements in the cultivation of the
soil. We are aware that the information
necesary for the farmer has been locked np
in many costly volumes written in a scien
tific language that the farmer did not under
stand, but this difficulty has now been over
come and the whole subject has befn reduced
into one ordinary Bized volume, written in
tbe plainest and most practical manner ; it
is entitled "Hvir to make the Farm Pay."
This volume treats of every subject in which
the farmer is interested.
The first chapter treats of drainage as the
foundation of all improved culture, and gives
plain practical rules fur all the operations of
drainagp.
The second chapter treats of plowing,
showing when, where, and how, and what
to plow.
The third chapter is upon manures, and
is one of the most interesting and valuable
we have ever seen : it shows just how and
where the manure goes to waste, and how at
a very triflijg expense the manure can be
doubled in quantity, quality and value.
There are also full directions fr the pur
chase and use of commercial fertilizers after
the most has been made of what every farm
er has at his band. This chapter, if read
and its directions followed, would surely
double the wealth of every farmer in ten years.
Chapter four treats of purchase, nse and
care of all Farm Implements, Chapter five
of the cultivation of grain. Chapter six of
grasses and hay making. Chapter seven of
root crops ; and chapter eight on special
crops and the rotation of croi s. This chap
ter gives the latest information on the culti
vation of cotton, rice, tobacco, flax, hemp,
hops, beets for sugar, &c. &c. 4c. Chapter
nine to twelve inclusive, treats of domestic
animals, breeding, raising, care, manage
ment, and feeding, and particularly of all
diseases of domestic animals with plain, sim
ple remedies. No man who owns a single
animal can afford to be without the informa
tion contained in those four chapters
Chapters thirteen to eighteen treat of the
cultivation of large and small fruits, show
ing how millions of acres of almost profitless
lands may be made to yield large and pay
ing crops, how every farmer may make from
$200 to $G00 per acre from apples or grapes.
The young men who read these chapters and
commence farming on these principles will
not be the poor plodders their predecessors
have been. Untold wealth is in store for
those who catch the ideas of this book.
Chapter nineteen treats of the planning and
building of farm buildings. Chapter twen
ty of Market Gardening and Farmers' Gar
dens. Chapter twenty-one of various mis
cellaneous items, as fences, farm laborers, for
est trees, &c, &c. Chapter twenty-two con
tains nearly three hundred choice receipts for
cooking, preserving. &c, and the last chap
ter gives the symptoms and remedies for the
ordinary diseases of children and adults,
with directions for preserving the health,
and other matters of interest. We think we
arejnstiBed in saying that so much infor
mation of use to the farmer is not to be had
for ten times the price anywhere else. The
book, as the reader will notice from the des
cription in our paper, has one hundred and
forty illustrations, which we Lave neither
time nor space to describe.
We8ay buy this book if you wish to learn
the secrets of Paying Farmiug.

A Camanche Indian a few days ago
brought bis squaw to a pioneer artist to have
her picture taken. The artist got the squaw
in position, when the old Camacche thought
he would investigate the mystery of making
squaws' pictures. He accordingly raised
the cloth and looked into the camera, when
he was astonished to see his wife stauding
on her head. At thi3 he grew indignant,
and even beat her for assuming such an un
dignified attitude before the soldiers, but as
she stoutly denied the offence, he continued
his experiments, and at last came to the
conclusion that a machine that could stand
a squaw on her head in half a second with
out her knowing anything about it, was ex
ceedingly bad medicine.

"Germ" Rntan has introduced another
and more sensible bill in the Senate at Har
risburg. which provides for the repeal of the
Railroad Indemnity vAct of 18G8. fixing
damages for a loss of life or limb. This will
leave it for a jury to decide the amount to
be accorded to sufferers by accident.
"Germ" is improving. We are always
ready to give the devil his due.
Among those who perished by tho sink
ing of the Corvette Oneida, in Japanese
waters, was Mr. William Uhler, fiom Leb
anon, a young man who was appointed to a
naval cadetship through the influence of;
Hon. Meyer Strouse. The father of the !
young man is engaged in one of the Leban
on banks. No doubt the dreadful fate of
his son has been a cruel blow to him.
It is stated that a treaty between Col
ombia nnd this country, for a ship canal
across the Isthmus of Panama, needs only the
signature of the United States Commission
er to put in a condition to ne actetl upon.
Its ratification by the Senate of Colombia
is conceded. In the meantime, the engi
neers sent out by this country are preparing
to commence tbe survey of the proposed
route.
The advent of Revels, the tan colored
darkey, to the Senate of the United States,
it seems is a disappointment, after all. Mrs.
Revels' is reported to have told a friend in a
confidential way "Dis ting ob jining de
Sennit and sittin' in de place ob Jeff Davis,
don't please my old man. He finds de so
ciety a good deal discumflummuxed from de
days ob Webster, Calhoun, and dem men,
and tinks dat de indignity ob de body went
out wid de brains."
We see it stated that suits ate to be in
stituted against the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company for failing to affix stamps to tbeir
freight bills. Revenue detectives, it is said,
have fouud a large number of thS9 unstamp
ed bills in the bands of business men. The
United States District Attorney will at once
proceed in the matter. The Railroad com
pany, it is asserted, contend that they have
not violated the reven laws, and the case
in hand will be a test case.
The judiciary of Wyoming sustains the
right of women to- serve as Grand Jurors.
All of the ladies drawn as Grand Jurors
were present in the court room at Larimer
at eleven o'clock Monday morning. A mo
tion was made to quash the panel, but
it was not sustained. At five minutes of
twelve o'clock a. m. the first panel of lady
Grand Jurore in the world were sworn in.
None of them asked to be excused. An
able address was delivered by Chief Justice
Dowe.
The Free Press states that Helen Eck
ert, well known as the fat girl of Easton,
died recently at the residence of her father
near Easton. She was eighteen years of age,
and had een confined to the bouse for the
past two or three years. In early life she
was on exhibition and traveling under charge
of Col. Wood, now proprietor of Wood's
Museum in Chicago. She was for a time
engaged with Barnum in New York. At
the time of her death she weighed 600
pounds.
Mrs. Catherine Tice, living in the vil
lage of Ellenville, Ulster county N. Y.. on
Saturday last cut the throat of her little
girl, aged two years. The woman bad been
married-eight years, and during nearly all
of that time had frequently quarreled with
her husband, Daniel Tice. On Saturday a
quarrel occurred at breakfast, and after he
left she cut the throat of her child. She
showed but little concern when the act was
discovered. The indignation among the
neighbors was so great that at first tht life
itce womaq was ia danger.

Dance t"
When Governor Geary , at on of hi evenlrg
receptions at Harrisburg. was afked to dance,
he excused himeif with the mild remark : "I
hare not danced siure the wr my legs are
too full of bullet- holes 1" Harper ' Baiar.
February 26.
On which tbe Sunday edition of the N. Y.
World comments as follows :
Are we never to know the full extent of
the devastatiou of the late war Are there
any more of onr heroes to all appearances
healthful and robust - moving about among
us with constitutions thus undermined? with
legs thus hopelessly perforated? Oraut,
Sherman, Sheridan. Thomas, are there any
bullet-helea in your legs t Are you piecluded
from the sweet isolace of the social dacce?
Ln the case of Grant, we are somewhat as
sured, for have we not read that he Guidance
at the Prince's ball in Washington the other
night? But (ah. drcadfal thought!) may
he not with Spartan pluck bave "trod a
measure" upon honeycombed pins 1 Let cs
"make assurance double sure, and take a
bond of fate ;" go each and ail of yon, our
heroes, we beseech, and submit yourselves to
the eearest surgeon ; roll up your sacred j
trowsers, and let medical certificates set j
forth the true condition of your respective i
bifurcations, that the anxioub nation may
know how yon stand, and thus be assured
of its standing.
And thou, oh. Coriolanus Geary, pnissant
hero of newspaper battles! Let not that
hanghty reticence, that proud scorn of pop
ular favor, that patrician contempt of the
"greasy citizen,' which has been so charac
teristic of you. carry yon too far ! If the
grand old commonwealth is leaning upon a
broken reed, let us, oh let ns know the ex
tent of your fractures! Although you may ;
never again "trip the light, fantastic toe," j
let us pray that strength may be given yon I
to rtm for a third term, and slump the State j
once more. Why have we never heard the j
history of Pennsylvania's glory from the lips !
of those wounds? And why, may we ask,
have tho wounds themselves never before t
been heard of? "Why did they not take'
their honored place in the current record of
the sufferings aud sacrifices of that ghastly i
time 7 hy did not the newspapers ring
with them, that the nation might give her
tears to salve them? Answer, ye reportorial
legion ! Why have these sacred wounds
been hoarded in so secret and miserly a man
ner, and disclosed only in a relaxed moment
of playful abandon 7 Verily, the underpin
ning of our nation's fabric is in jeopardy !
Tbe dance was at its maddest, loud clashed
the horns and drums,
When, flinging wide the inasire doors, the.
usher cried, "He comes 1"
Then Beautv, whirling in the wait, with
doughty cavalier.
With parted lips and wondering ejes, paused
in her wild career,
As, stalking through the glittering throng,
with emiling port, yei high,
Bold Geary carce, our Governor, him of the
eajle I ; I
Ex-General, nee Democrat,. Kansas Govercor- j
r-r, et cet. .
Ulysces's head, Achilla's tread, and Neetor's i
wisdom met,
To form the niau upon whose "span" our hopes
are fondly set
He plants "at ease" hit good right leg, his
hand rests on his hip,
Stern majesty in every line, from toe to mus-
tached lip.
Thea from that tranced throng there glides a
beauteous maid, pardie I
"Viho straight before the Governor "crooked
.. the binges of he r knee" :
"My Governor, my General, our common
wealth's great: sfay.
Unto thy humblest subject grant one little
dance, I pray !"
"Since the war was done," the Govercor said,
"I have not danced," said he ;
"One little whirl,' the maiden plead, "sse lit
tle whirl with me !" .
The Governor shakes his JoVe-like head, but
til! that" maiden beps
"1 casnot dance ; Wo full," he said, "of bul
