F. A. SHOKMAKER, Chairman. Ebcufburg, July 11, 18T0. All Explanation. Wbcn one editor denies the truth of a statement made by another in reference to any question that may be the subject of controvtrsy between them, and calls for the proof, and when the latter furnishes it, the former is bound by every" principle of honor, as well as by the well recognized rules of the profession, to withdraw his original denial. The editor of the Johnstown Tribune asserted, some time ago, that when Geo. N. Smith represented Cambria county in the Assembly, a bill bad been sent to him, providing for the erection of a "District Court" of Cambria county at Johnstown, j It was also 6tated by the eame paper that during the five years that Mr. Persuing represented this county in the lower branch of the Legislature, two bills of the same character were Bent to him. We denied the truth of both of these allegations. Jo fore we undertook to question the truth of these statements mado by the Tribune, xvc took tho precaution of consulting the oldest members of the Ebcnsburg liar, and their uniform reply to us was, that they had never before heard of anything of the kind, and that they did not for one moment believe it to be true. The last Tribune, in reply to our denial, published theirs section of the bill sent to Geo. N. tSmni, as well as the jirst section of one of the bills sent to C. L. Pershing, from which it would appear that bills had been sent, to each of those geDtlemen in favor of a "District Court" at Johnstown, Wc do not believe in the loose morali ty of tho doctrine, that a misstatement, although honestly made, if persisted in is as good as the truth. We never deny or question the full force and validity of a record, which ought and usually does im port absolute verity. We, therefore, as in duty bound, withdraw all that we said touching the particular point invplved in ibis controversy, but now declare thttt these several bills in regard to the "Dis trict Court" must have been prepared in Johnstown with remarkable and unusual stcrtcy. Whatever may havo become of them, it is quite certain that they were permitted by both Mr. Smith and Mr. l'EHsniNG to sleep the f Icep of death at Harriftburg. If they had been urged to a final passage, they would have been promptly and properly attended to by the "obsolete village" of Eben9burg. It is said that the rule is a poor one that will not work both ways. Let us practically test iU truth. The Tribune of July 1st asserted that, during the lcgisla tive session of 1851, a bill for the erec tion of "Conemaugh county" passed the House, in committee of Vie whole through the influence of James Potts, and that it Vas defeated by Dr. Wji. A. Smith of Kbensburg, who then (1851) represented Cambria county. In our last issue it was proven, from the official journal of the House for 1851, that both of these alle gations were without a shadow of truth. As this was perfectly manifest and so plain that "he who runs may read," we now ask the Tribune' to imitate the course of the Freeman and correct its own stupid blunder. A few hours before Congress adjourn ed on last Friday, the President sent a eprcial message to that body, in which he referred to the great probability and immi nence of war in Europe. He urged the increase of our navy, just as if that ques tion had anything at all to do with the contemplated war between France and Prussia an emergency that never in tho world could affect the United States. He also demanded the passage of the Indian appropriation bill, which was subsequent ly passed, thereby settling that vexed question, so far as Grant's adminis tration can or is fit to dispose finally of any question of public policy. He also asked Congress to prolong its session a short iime beyond the 15th of the present month. His own friends in Congress, Wm. D. Kelly, of this State, conspicuous among the Radical members, could not see the meaning of Grant's message. The matter went by the board, and this appeal, like all of Grant's recommenda tions to Congress, was treated with the utmo6t contempt by his own political friends Great is U. S. Grant. The Pittsburgh Post, in referring to General tester's nomination, makes use of the following appropriate language : Henry D. Foster owes it to himself, to the Democracy of his District and the State, to lead the Democracy in person and redeem the 21st District He has the ability, and we hope be will commence at ooce the work j of organization. The people expect this at j his haudu aud tLould Dot be dibappoiatoj. 'Coolie Labor. The recent introduction into a shoe manufactory in the town of North Ad ams, in Massachusetts, of about seventy five natives of China, called Coolies, who were brought there from California for the purpose of taking the place of other workmen in the same establishment at re duced prices, has caused unusual excite ment amongst the laboring class of people, not only in that State, but throughout the entire country. It is regarded by them as an effort which will eventually and disastrously interfere with the labor wages of the American mechanic It is likely to become a very important question in the political economy of this country. We do not ourselves propose, at this time, to discuss it, but will submit to our readers the following extract on the sub ject from a speech made by one of the brightest intellects in this country, Geo. II. Pendleton, at his home at Clifton, near Cincinnati, on the 10th of last Sep' tember, in reply to a call of his friends. irrcepective of party, who had asked trim for an expression of his views on the va rious topics of the day : I object to its adoption because it is part and parcel of a scheme to food the country with a forced importation of an immense number of Chinese of coolies and thus for a second time to bring into our midst an alien race and to repeat in a more difficult form the social and governmental questions which have so unhappily divided our peo pie. o o Their skilled laborers get three or four dollars per month, and with this they seem content. They work from daylight till sun set and have but a single holiday in the year. Their food consists of rice, salt, a few vegetables and sometimes fish. The plau proposed is to bring immense numbers of these people here to sujqrfy the demand for labor in the fields, and the factories and the shops. We in Ohio have not appreciated the importance of this movement. I protest against it 71010, in time, before it is carried out before we are confronted with duties and obligations and interests growing out of their presence. They are an alien, an inferior and idolatrous race. They have not our tastes, or habits, or manners, or devel opments, or religion. They are not fit to become citizens or to enjoy tho right of suf frage. Amalgamation would injure both their race and ours. Isolation will give rise to the great troubles. England, Ireland, Germany. Norway, France have an over flowing population of our own race, similar to us in blood, in manners, in habits, and in religious faith an Industrious, sturdy, self reliant, self-tepecting people. They are fit to become citizens. They will mix with us, and our commingled blood is purer for the association. L'jt us invite them with open arms to come us. Let us people our country with the beat races cf men. But the Chinese will give us cheap labor cheap human lab )R. I detpise tho word. It signiSes a crime and a shame. It signi fies squalor, degradation, ignorance, vice. Are not laborers men our fellow men? They have bodies to clothe and stomachs to feed, and minds to educate, and spirits to elevate, and old age to provido for. They have homes which they love, and wives whom they cherish and children whom they hope to make worthy citizens the honest fathers and virtuous mothers of a succeeding generation. Atd can you remember these duties and see these aspirations ; can you coutemplate the patient hopefulness of cheer ful and contented, because fairly compensa ted industry, and talk of cheap labob? Labor is too cheap now. Labor does not receive its just reward. This country needs skilled laborers, zealous industry it needs that such labor shall not be cheap, but that it must be bountifully rewarded. 0 0 It must command the efforts of an advanc ing civilization, and the favor of a just God. uutil at last the human intellect, and hand and blood, as Uiey constitute the nobler, shall also be the better paid member in the partnership of labor aud capital. Henry . Foster. We publish herewith the proceedings of the Congressional Conference at which Hon. Henry D. Foster was unanimous ly nominated for Congress. Gen. Foster is amongst the very foremost men of either party in the State and has a national reputation of the highest order. He is honest and possesses unquestioned ability, and the result of the election in his dis trict will be looked to by the Democracy of the State with more than usual inter est ; and we cannot doubt that he and his friends will inaugurate a speedy, vigorous and determined campaign. It ia as true in politics as in war, that a man ought never to trust to the supposed weakness of his opponent. But here are the pro ceedings of the Conference which nomi nated him without a dissenting voice : The Democratic Conferees for the Twenty, first Congressional District, composed of the counties of Westmoreland, Indiana and Fay ette, met at the St. Charles Hotel, in this city, yesterday. Tbe following named gen tlemen represented the respective counties : Westmoreland county James C. Clark Wm. C. Guffey and A. A. Stewart, Esqs. Fayette county II. J. Gilmore, Robert Hogsett and A. N. Gibson. Indiana county Joseph M. Thompson, J. B. Sansom and Silas M. Clark. U. J. Gilmore, Esq., of Fayette county, was called to the chair, and Silas M.

The croeeedinr-B of Ilia fVin . ...v t-t t . t VY CI U directed to be published in the Pittsburgh Post, and all the Democratic papers in the District. After some appropriate remarks made by T. B. Scaright, Esq., of Fayette, and J. B. CaDoom, of Iudiana, the Conference adjourn- Cut A Colored Man's Speech. The following is the sensible speech made in tbe late South Carolina reform convention by Iiev. Jonas Byrd, colored, of Charleston : Mr. President, I came untrammelled to this convention, but if I ever was in earnest I am now. (Applause). I believe every word which has fallen from the lips of Gen. Butler and Gen. Kershaw. Sir, I have full, unlimited confidence in South Carolina and her sons. (Applause). I see here Col. Sim mons and Mr. Mikell. Their fathers were my associates, and these, their sons, have been born and raised since I lived in Charles ton. I came to that city in June, 1815, fifty-five years ago. Certainly, I should know my people from A to Z, and that I do ; and what a South Carolinian tells you he is going to do, that he will do. (Ap plause.) They don't say one thing and mean another. They regard their honor too much for that. (Applause.) I know the people of whom I am speaking, and had I not faith in them I never would have put my foot in this convention. (Applause.) Some folks told me I was going back on my race. Said I, "pooh-pooh ! nonsense !" (Applause.) If I take a brick out of your house, I must take it out of mine also ; for do you not see that if I am running my race into any risk, I should run myself into the same risk ? I see my way clear. I know what I am doiug. If I thought there was the least intention on the part of the Reform parly to do otherwise than what they have laid down in their platform, I would suffer my right arm to be severed from my body before I would become a delegate to its con vention." (Applause.) And now, Mr. President, in reference to the other party in this canvass, we have no animosity against them. They came to our State in swarms from tbe north, when the smoke was scarcely cleared from the battle fie!d. What was their purpose in coming here ? They had next door to nothing when they made their appearance among us j and as for their morals, tbey had none. (Laugh ter.) Now they are gentlemen ot leisure ! (Reuewed laughter.) They had a full hand of trumps, and are getting high, low, jack aud the gamo at every deal. (Prolonged laughter.) Tbey adopted as a motto, "lands lor the landless." Well, monny was voted by the Legislature to purchase lands for those who had no land, and commissioners appointed to make tbe purchases, and the money put in their hands. They purchased land, paying the owners therefor $30,000, and pocketing $90,000, themselves in the same transaction. (Applause and laughter.) Only keeping three times as much for them selves as they expended for the poor good Samaritans that they were. (Laughter.) And yet we must say nothing of these things at all, because they are the acts of your "friends," the Republicans! Well, I am a Republican, but I want to know if any gen tleman who calls himself a Republican will condescend to shake hands with a man who, with the other hand U picking his pocket? (Laughter and applause.) Mr. President, God being my judge, I say without the least hypocricy, there is more prejudice felt against the negroes, as you call us. in the North than there is in the South. (Applause.) The South has played with an even hand, and has shown you lier cards. Rut when Northern people come among us (I do tot say all, for there are good aud bad among all classes) they say one thing to us when they mean another. In a Radi cal paper of yesterday it is stated that the colored delegates are paid to come here, and that while the white delegates are stopping at the hotels, the colored delegates are eat ing in the kitchens. Sir, I am well situated in a nice boarding house. It is true we are not at the Columbia Hotel ; but as for my self I prefer to stay where I am ; and I ha73 always had the desire to let every man enjoy himself according to his own mind and feel ing, so long as he does not trespass on oth ers. I know of many northern men who have come south and married southern la dies, and they have been more rigid and ex acting of their slaves than southern masters as a class. (Applause;. I know them and could call names, but I forbear. Col. Jacob Zeiglkr, editor of the Butler Herald, one of the most wholes souled, genial and affable gentlemen it has ever been our good fortune to meet, has been nominated as the Democratic candi date for Assembly in Butler county, and we trust that he will be triumphantly elected, as he eminently desserves to be. Honors are accumulating rapidly upon "Uncle Jake," as he is familiarly called, for in addition to his having been chosen permanent chairman of tbe Democratic Editorial Convention recently held in Al toona, he was unanimously elected Presi dent of the Democratic Editorial State Association then and there brought into being, and now his friends at home want him to represent them in the lower branch of the State Legislature. "Uncle Jake" Zeigler is fit for any position, and is just the kind of a man that can be trusted and will always exert influence in any emer gency and under all circumstances. We shall take special pride in announcing his election. To the general belief of the whole country, and especially of the tax-payers, the late Congress, of infamous memory, adjourned on last Friday. What it did, and what it failed to do, we can not now precisely say. Some sort of a bill in re ference to the admission of Georgia was passed. It was the spawn of Ben Butler and other men of his stripe. Whether or not, it allows an election to be held in that State next fall, seems to be doubtful, and yet enly three weeks ago, Grant appoint ed Ackerman, from that so-called State, and who was a rebel officer, Attorney General of the United States. For doing so we honor Gen. Grant ; but why annex conditions to the admission of Georgia, which will practically perpetuate the no toriously corrupt rule of Bullock and his confederate carpet baggers, and prevent the people from saying by their votes who shall rule over them. Is this a despotism or a government ruled by a Congressional caucus ? The Cleveland Plaindealcr says the Radi cals of Ohio are quarreling with each other in the bitterest manner. The are divided on the tariff, and a unit on no question of importance. They seen to hate each other more bitterly than tbey do the Democracy aud their feuds can net be hcalvd. The War Deimcn France and Prussia, No one who reads the telegraphic de spatches which come to us by the Atlantic cable, can fail to see that the Emperor of France has forced war upon Prussia, when it might have been easily and honorably avoided. He has objects at stake ulterior to and entirely apart from the question of the occupancy of the Spanish throne by a petty German Prince. That has been used as a mere pretext, and Prussia went as far in her disclaimer as she could reasonably have been expected to go. The alleged iusult to the French Minister by the King of Prussia fur nishes no justifiable cause for a declaration of war ; or, at least, it would afford none between parties disposed to keep the peace. The real object for which Napolean makes war is to repossess himself of tbe territory on the river Rhine, which was once attached to France. Mingled with this is the desire to settle tbe Napoleon dynasty firmly, by wiping out the discontent at home and smoothing the way through a path of mili tary glory for the peaceful succession of his soa to a permanent throne. Napoleon com plains with some justice, that Prussia has violated the treaty of Prague. This viola tion consists in the failure of Prussia to pro vide for the taking of a free vote. by the people of Northern Schleswig, by which they were to determine for themselves whether their country should be attached to Prussia or united to Denmark. This article of the treaty remains a dead letter in consequence of the action cf Prussia, that State having shown a decided tendency to territoiial ag grandizement. When France reminded Bis mark that the course of Prussia was in fiat violation of the balance of power principle recognized by the Congress of the Great Powers, that wily diplomat retreated into his shell and remained silent. France has long looked upon the conduct of Prussia with a jealous eye, and has re garded her growing power as a constant menace. The war now begun will reach back even beyond 1866, and the questions that disturbed Europe in 1815, may be brought up in the present struggle. That the war is popular in France cannot be de nied, and her military power is enormous. Prussia may find herself very severely taxed in this contest, and it is difficult to predict what will be the result if the other nations of Europe maintain a position of neutrality. It may be that the whole of Europe will yet be involved. France will make haste to de liver severe blows, and we may look for re ports of a bloody battle shortly. The probabilities are that the sympathies of our people will bo largely with Prussia, but it is alike our duty and our interest to avoid all complications in this unfortunate aff.iir. Lancaster Intelligencer. The Naturalization Law. The Press is scarcely ingenuous in boasting that the new Naturalization law has triumphed over the opposition of the Democratic press. The law, as passed, so materially differs from the law as proposed, that the country owes a large debt of gratitude to those who strenuously opposed and exposed what Sen ator Vickers very justly termed a "concaten ation of euormities." The following infa mous features of tbe pnjected legislation failed : 1. To strike the word "white" out of the Naturalization laws. 2. To extend their provisions to the Chi nese. 3. To take away all the jurisdiction of the State Courts. - 4. To put the naturalization of foreigners in the hands of Commissioners of Bankrupt cy, and authorize them to disfranchise citi zens, hitherto naturalized by the State Courts. 5. To heap cumbrous and troublesome forms upon the hitherto simple practice. 6. To authorize "any Attorney at Law" to intervene against any foieiguer seeking naturalization. All these features were in the bill. All have been stricken out of it, through the vigorous Democratic opposition to them. The law as it stands creates new penalties against frauds in naturalization. It author izes the Federal Courts to appoint "watch ers," one from each political party, and the Marshal of the United States to appoint deputies, to supervise the election of mem bers of Congress. It also adds to the word "white" in the naturalization laws the com ical and contradictory proviso that it Bhall not exclude immigrants coming from Afri ca ! We see much to except to in these provisions, but they fall so far short of the revolutionary aims of the framers of the first scheme, that we feel that our opposition to it has been rewarded with a substantial suc cess. Age. 1 - .-i-.il-- Wool vs. Pig Tail Senator Trum bull attempted to stem the African tor rent the other day io the Senate on the naturalization question, by interposing a word for Asia, but wool kept ahead of pig tail. He said : I ask Senators to look at the position in which we are. placing ourselves. We have now by distinct vote placed upon this bill a provision that any person of the African race or of African descent may be natural ized. We have struck the word "white" out of the naturalization laws so far as it applies to the Hottentot, to the pagan from Africa. Now, it is proposed to deny the right of naturalization to the Chinaman, who is infinitely above the African in intel ligence, in manhood, and every respect. The amendment we have adopted is not an amendment applicable to the African living in the United State; it is an amend ment authorizing people from Africa to come here and be naturalized. It opens the whole continent of Africa where are found the most degraded examples of men that exist on the face of the earth, pagans, cannibals, men who worship beesta, who do not compare in intelligence at all with the Chinese. And I ask of Senators, are we now going to place ourselves in the condition of authorizing these Africans to be naturalized 'and become citizens of the United States, and deny that right to Chinamen ? The following paragraph from Ibat sprightly young daily, tho Altoona Sun, explains itself: The Sdn declares for an offensivei cam paign, and we doubt not but that the can didates will be as offensive to the people of Blair county as the war was offensive to Democrats during the rebellion. Tyrone Herald. Or, our imp suggests, as Brainard and Jones were offensive on the pockets of tbe great subisdizer and owner of the Bessemer steal process. In official and diplomatic circles - in Washington the war news overshadows all other topics. The President, like everybody else, has seen fit to take sides, and it is said that he has expressed a warm sympathy for Trussia. Vico-Admiral Porter" thinks that we are likely to be involved in tho war event ually, and is anxious that the navy should be placed on a war footing, aud 16,000 sail ors cnlictui. About the time of the negro sacrificial an niversary of Voudow la Louisiana, a little white girl disappeaied from the streets of New Orleans. Large rewards have been offered for her recovery, or Buch information as will give certain knowledge of her fate. Experienced and trained detectives have been employed to unravel the mystery. Money has been freely ised in the samo direction, but all to no purpose. The child cannot be found. The persons most inter rested in this case, within a few days have unearthed a trial which leads to the horrid suspicion that the child was carried off to be sacrificed to Obi, in the performance of the disgusting rites of that superstition. It is known that the Obi priests have declared that a certain number of white children must be offered to him on the blood-stained altar each year, or the whole black raco will be remanded to slavery. This has alarmed the, superstitious negroes, and they are ready to obey their dread deity, and sprinkle his foul and disgusting altar with the life-blood of innocent children. The cuse reported from Now Orleans is not the only one of the kind which is said to have occurred. Other children are missing in various parts of the South, and their end is supposed to be simi lar to that feared for their New Orleans sis ter. This is a terrible state of affairs. Bar barians, who immolate children to imaginary gods, have been elevated to the rank of American citizens. They are to make and interpret laws in relation to the moral well being of white men and women of this coun try. They are to set on tbe bench and in the jury box one day, and butcher a white child at the command of Obi the next. This case of the missing child in New Orleans has opened amomentous question for white men, and they must meet it as men should in this Christain age apd country. Age. A Deskrted Bark Tossed on the At lantic pcb Nine Months, and Reaches Port at Last. Late English papers report the following : The news of the arrival at Falmouth on the 23d, of the Norwegian bark Svalen, long ago given up for lost, created considerable interest and curiosity at LI jyuV. The Svalen, as has been stated in our tele graph columns, a vessel of about eight hun dred tons, was abandoned by her crew on the 19th of October, 18C9. a few days after sailing from Montreal for London with a cargo of timber. The crew were picked up and landed at Falmouth on the 7th of No vember following. But the moat curious circumstance in connection with the loss of the ship is that the vessel, after rolling about on the broad Atlantic, and perhaps in other seas, for nearly nine months, should be acci dentally lighted on by a passing steamer near the British shores, with har cargo safe and in good condition, the ship itself being so far seaworthy as to float, and her cabia furniture and her other fittings in good taste of preservation. Insurances had been effect ed, it appear?, on the Svalen at Lloyds, by her foreign owners, and the question that now arose on the recovery of the Bhip was as to salvage right9. The underwriters who have long since paid the amount insured, will of course, recoup themselves by the possession of the valuable derelict that has so singularly been found; but the amount of salvage due to the captain and crew of the bteamer Denia, who discovered the missing ship, will have to be deducted Tram the un derwriters' claims. Still, the valuable car go of timber in the Svalen will help greatly to compensate for the loss incurred by un derwriting her. An Old Romanck. -There is a young lady in Cleveland, the only daughter of a bankrupt of Syracuse, N. Y., a merchant, who is uow supporting hejr parents in afflu ence on a small fortune she made in the Venango oil region. When misfortune over took her parents that was in 18G6 and she saw her father, whom she fondly loved, bendiug under the weight of want and decli ning health, she secretly resolved that with her own fair hands she would earn a compel tence for his declining years. With the thought pervading her whole being, and in full possession of her faculties, she provided herself with male attire, severed the beauti ful locks, which had been the pride and the admiration of numerous beaux, stained her face and hands the bronze color of the farm er, and with a small sum of money which she had realized from thesale of her trinkets, she made her way to the pioneer run. where, under the name of Billy McGee, she soon ingratiated herself into the good will of a crew of drillers, who first learned her to turn a drill and then secured her a position on a drilling well. From drilling for wages she went to drilling for small working interests in several fair wells. Having accumulated a little money, she ventured to put down a well on her own account, succeeded, tried another, again succeeded, and at the end of two years she left Shamburgh ith $13,000, retired to Cleveland, provided a good home for her'parents, resumed female attire, and now, with hands aud feet enlarged by toil, she passes -in her promenades the worthless butterflies of fashion with a proud conscious ness of her superior worth. Pleasanlcille Gazette. A Traveling Store. A Chicago corres pondent writes to a New York paper as follows : Two Enterprising men at Burling ton, Iowa, have just completed the model of a traveling dry goods, and grocery house, in which the city merchant or his agent cau visit his country customers, conveying to them a full line of goods in place of the usual "samples," and delivering the purchases as soon as they are selected. The model of the car was very elaborately made at the Pull man Palace Car Works, and is quite a curi osity. It shows, in miuiature, a half section of a car, as large as a Pullman sleeping coach, fitted up with shelves on tho side, deep drawers on wheels, folding counters for exhibiting goods, and a spacious apartment under the floor, accessible by trap doors, in which a large amount of goods can be stored. In the center of the car is the cashier's desk, and at each end are private state-rooms, sleepiug berths, etc. Imagine the ease with which a Chicago merchant will supply his country customers when this Yankee contri vance comes into use. Having built or char tered his car, and announced to dealers along tbe line of any particular road at what day he will arrive at the different stations, he loads it with a great stock of goods and tends it off in charge of his clerks. At each sta tion it is switched upon a side track, the buyer drives np his wagon, and in a few minutes or hours he has his whole spring stock selected and delivered in his store, or obtained such articles as he happens to want immediately without waiting for their slow and uncertain delivery by freight train. General McClellan has been chosen Chief Engineer of the Department of Dock6 in New York. The elevation of such a man to power and place speaks well for the au thorities of that city. The abilities of the recipient are of a high order, and his char acter for honesty fidelity and uprightness of purpose on a level with the best men of the nattou in its glory days. His presence and example will elevate the tone of official ac tion in New York, and afford an example fur iiniUtion infill p vrt:i of ,n rouutry. General News Items.

Whittemore, the model Radical cadet seller, has announced himself as a candidate for election to the Forty-second Congress. He is just tbe man for popularity among the Radicals, and his district has a large major ity of negroes. In a distance of five miles on the North Western Railroad, between Elgin and Gil bert's station, Illinois, twenty telegraph poles were shattered by lightning on Thursday night. The wires were melted in several instances. The thunder was terrible. Four men were drowned at Montroce, Iowa, twelve miles above Keokuk, by falling into the river from the wheelhouse of the steamer North Western, which tbey were engaged in washing. Their names are not given. They were hands on that boat. A Sunday-school excursion train return ing to Richmond, Va on Tuesday, wai thrown from the track by a falling tree. Four cars and the engine were sma-thed, and one hundred yards of the track torn up. -One of the excursionists was killed, and a number were injured. A Mr. Rye, a photographer of New York, has just brought out a new process of light-printing from photographic negatives by which, on an ordinary printing press, and with printers' ink, ten thousand delicate pictures can be taken from one plate of pre pared steel, copper, or g!a3s. A Cincinnati doctor protests against pouring water on the head in case of sun stroke. He prescribes warm water applica tions and an emetic, after which sulphuric ether, in teaspoonful doses every fifteen min utes, and friction along the spine by means of mustard aud strong liniment. At Indianapolis, on Suuday afternoon, Mr. Isaac Merchant,' Jr., fired a shotgun at j a dog that was chasing a flock of geese along the banks of W lute river, when the body .of his father rose from the water. The old gen tleman, who had been suffering from cancer iu the throat, had committed, suicide by drowning only a few hours previous. A lady at a fair in Springfieid, Ohio, the other day, saw what she toi k to be a very nice piece of candy, and quietly put it in her mouth. It proved to be a miniature bombshell, and exploded, larcerating her mouth and shattering her teeth in an exceed ingly unpleasant manner. Attempting to eat bombshells is a dangerous busimRS. D. W. Bissel, of Lancaster, has a pul let which commenced laying eggs at four months of age. It was hatched on the last day of last February, and on the first of the present month laid an egg, and has dropped one each alternate day since, except on last Friday and Saturday, on both of which days it laid an egg. The eggs are a little larger than those of a partridge. A freight train was wrecked on the Kan sas Pacific Railroad at two o'clock on Thurs day morning, a few miles from Hays City. The engineer, Reynolds, and fireman, Wills, were instantly killed. A brakeman was fatally hurt, and the conductor, Palmer, se riously injured. Five cars were wrecked and the engine disabled. The accident oc curred from the washing away of a culvert by heavy rains. A mortgage for $5,000,000, given by the Pennsylvania Canal Company to Her man J. Lombaert, in trust for the bondhold ers of tbe above company, is being put upon record in the effice of the Recordei of Deeds of Lancaster county. The same document will also be recorded in fifteen other coun ties in thi3 State. The stamps required on this paper amount to $5,000. The $5,000, 000 are divided into bonds of $5,000 each. Later and authentic advices fn m Tien stsin by telegraph through Siberia, confirm the previous report of the massacre of for eigners in China. The outrages were com mitted on the 10th of June. Thenativep s t fire to and destroyed tbe French establish ments but left those of the Germans unmo lested. The representatives of the European powers at Pekin, had addressed a j tint note to the Chinese government, demanding the pnnishment of the rioters and indemnity for the losses sustained. The Fpat which those two loyal chaps, Butler and Farnsworth had a short time ago, didn't end in the spilling of any blood, (we said it wouldn't) but it is likely to end in the spilling of somesscrets that are not cred itable to one of the belligeients. Butler's friends have put in circulation a letter from one B. F. Patrick, who was ticket agent at Chicago, early in the war, for the Pittsburgh Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad. In this letter Patrick al'eges Farnsworth was paid $2,500 for sending his troops over that road, and that a receipt for that amount is still in existence.. As Farnsworth will hardly be able to "crawl over" such an ugly fact, he will be forced to make another leak some where in Butler's moral epidermis, in order to get even. We have no doubt that in the eud it will turn out that nearly every prom inent Radical has let his "grand moral ideas" run in the same channel with those of the poor found outcast Whittemore. PotisviRe Standard. There is much interest felt by the im mense German population of this country in regard to the war between France and Prussia. Here and there one may be found who sides with France or feels coolly toward Prussia, but the bulk of them are heartily with Fatherland and bitterly hostile to Na poleon. In the larger cities the excitement is intense and monster meetings will be held to give expression to tho prevaling sentiment. At an impromptu meeting held in Chicago on Sunday afternoon t.everal thousand dol lars were raised and put into the hands of a committee to be expended in relief for the wounded of the Prussian army. The com mitte expect to incrase the sum to fifty thou sand dollars in a few davs. and they will no doubt do so. In New York, and elsewhere, arrangements are being made for holding meetings. Lane. Intel. Strangb Occurrence. A remarkable phenomenon occurred recently about two miles above Lanes boro, on the Jefferson road. A high embankment was building across an apparently solid swamp, and upon this em bankment a track was laid, and gravel cars were running to convey the earth takeu from the deep cut above into the swamp. The work went on, and the superintendents wore rejoicing over tho prospect of a speedy ter mination f the work. But it was of ehort duration ; for on coming to work one mor ymg they found that the track bed upon which t'noy had bveu working so long and dilligenlly had sank out of sight, and that a yawning abyss and a fow straggling hil locks was tho reward for their incessant labor. It is the intention of the contractors to trestle this place, and to hasten on tbe work of track-laying as rapidly as circum stances will permit.
