EBENSBURC. PA.,
FRIDAY, - - - APRIL 28, 1882.
Mr. Par.vell arrived in Dublin
from France on last Monday evening
and was loudly cheered at the depot,
tut avoided an ovation as much as pos
sible. He at once entered a cab and
was driven direct to KilmAinham jail,
bis release on parole having lasted two
weeks.
IVnex'GoT. Crittenden hired Boband
Chas. Ford "to bring in Jesse James
dead or alive," a good many persons
questioned his sanity. If however, he
was sane then he is clearly a "crank1'
now, inasmuch as he signed a petition
asking Mr. Arthur to appoint Phoebe
Couzens, another Missouri production,
one of the Utah Commissioners;
A red hot Arthur and Cameron Ta
per is to be immediately established in
Philadelphia. The reason for this new
departure is that Mr. Arthur has now
'... -.r ,,., a
no .newspaper organ in that city, no one
of the prominent Republican papers
having given him and his administra
tion anything more than faint and tim
id praise. Cameron and Quay have
therefore concluded that it was about
time to start an organ to grind out mu
sic for themselves, and as soon as the
necessary arrangements can be com
pleted the first number of the paper
will appear with Quay as its chief edi
tor. Mr. AitTiit'R, instead of nominating
Judge Taft, of Ohio, to be Minister to
England, as it was believed at "Wash
ington he intended doing, sent his name
to the Senate last week as Minister to
Austria. An American envoy to that
country has very little business of im
portance to engage his attention, and
Taft can lead the same easy life in Vi
enna as his predecessors have done.
Mr. Arthur at the same time nomina
ted Nicholas Fish, of Xew York, son of
Hamilton Fish, who was Grant's Secre
tary of State, to be Minister to Bel
gium, and the inevitable Adam JJadeau,
who wrote a one-sided and lying mili
tary life of Grant, to be Consul General
at Havana. Each of these nominations
shows the hand of Mr. Arthur's guide,
counsellor and friend. Gen. Grant.
l ioxoii essm an Samuel. II. Milxkr,
of the Mercer district, in this State, in
the discussion on a bill on Monday last
to increase the police force of Washing
ton, asserted, "without fear of contra
diction,' that when the soldiers from
Pennsylvania voted in the field they
cast ten Republican ballots to one l)em
cratic ballot, and pointing to ex-Governor
Curt in in his seat, Miller, to use a
vulgar phrase, forthwith proceeded to
"cut off more than he could chaw," by
saying : "I know the fact that when the
gentleman from Pennsylvania ran for
Governor in 13 as a Republican, the
soldiers voted for him twenty to one."
"In lsOV Governor Curtin replied,
"the soldiers from Pennsylvania in the
field did not have a right to vote, and I
did not receive a single vote from them.'
The subsequent proceedings of that
day's session interested Samuel II. Mil
ler no more.
The name of no Democrat in the
State has been more widely or favorably
mentioned in connection with the nom
nation of Congressman-at-large by the
"Democratic State convention than that
of William II. Breslin, the well known
and able editor of the Lebanon AJvrr
tiscr. It long and undeviating support
of the principles of the Democratic par
ty constitutes a valid claim upon its
latitude and n right to share in its
honors, as it most certainly does, Mr.
Breslin's nomination would be as appro
priate as it is well deserved. All other
things being equal, we have always
thought that a Democrat who has bat
tled with the party, in season and out of
season, in a strong minority county, pos
sesses claims upon it which ought to be
respected. It dou't require much of an
effort to be a Democrat over in Berks
county, but some courage i3 required to
take a stand of that kind just over the
line in Lebanon.
The Altoona Iladkal in its last week's
issue, in attempting to explain a "sin
gular fact," got the two Chandlers,
Zach, of Michigan, and Bill, of Xew
Hampshire, badly mixed, so far, at least,
as the office of Secretary of the Interior
is concerned, It was correct as to the
cabinet office held by the dead Michi
gander, but wrong a 3 to the one now
filled by him of the "Granite State."
These two Chandlers are not related to
each other by blood, so far as we know,
but are brothers in political infamy,
Zach being the first man, on the morn
ing after the Presidential election in
1976, to put in motion the conspiracy to
cheat Tdden out of his election, and
Bill being one of the visiting "states
men" who went down to Florida and
aid-jd in falsely and fraudulently manip
ulating the vote of that State in favor
of Hayes. lie is now, by the grace of
Pre6identAnhur,Secretary of the Navy,
and one of his constitutional advisers.
The Legislature of Virginia adjourn
ed sine die on Saturday last, leaving
Mahone thoroughly beaten at all points.
"When his Congressional district bill
was defeated on Thursday of tb.6 pre
vious week, his friends in the House
passed a resolution of recess from Satur.
day until the 7th of June, and although
the most desperate efforts were made by
the Republican managers at Washington
to get the two Republican State Sena
tors who had been opposing Mahone's
schemes to vote for it, they utterly fail
ed in their purpose, and the resolution
was therefore defeated when it came be
fore that body on yesterday week, by a
Tote of 15 yea3 to 13 nays, and a fica
adjournment took place, as above stated
on Saturday. If Mahone, either by fair
means or foul, can capture these two
rebellious Senators during the summer,
Cameron, whom he made Governor, will
call an extra session to enable Mahone
to accomplish his purpose, but in Vir-
ffinia it is not thought that he can do
o, the general belief ucing T-nat nis po
litical career is fast approaching its end,
The historic wrongs of Ireland, as
well as the present unhappy condition
of that oppressed country, were never
more temperately, ably and eloquently
discussed before a public audience than
they were by Judge Jeremiah S. Black,
In an address which he delivered in Bal
timore on Tuesday evening of last week,
before the State Council of the Irish
Land League. Judge Black starts out
in his address with the declaration that j
no American citizen has a right to be
silent or passive when Ireland calls up- j
on him to do something for her relief, !
and then having made the additional j
declaration that for fully seven cen- '
turies, except one short interval, Tre- j
land has not been permitted to make i
any laws for the protection of her own !
people in '.heir persons or property, he !
proceeds with a review of the cruel i
treatment of that "Island of Sorrows," I
by the British government, TTe declar- j
es that there is not now and never was j
any real union between F.ngland and i
Ireland, but merely a connection made I
by force ; that England governs Ireland i
by special legislat ion made for her alone; i
, - i
bayonets" ; that Ireland is not govern-
j ed either by the common of statute law
j of England, and that the exercise of an
j unbounded power by Parliament over
, her people has been a continued exhibi-
tion of the most heartless oppression
I that the world has ever witnessed. "We
j will, hereafter, publish some choice ex
tracts from his admirable address, lim

! It was telegraphed from "Washington
! to the Pittsburg Commercial a few days '
: ago that "General Campbell, in reply '
j to a number of letters from his consi.it- :
uents in Bedford, Blair. Cambria and '
, Somerset counties, in regard to his ac- i
ceptance of a renomination for Congress ;
. says that he will not make a fight for
i it, but will accept it, if tendered." Cer- .
tninly ho will, and we would like to !
' know who wouldn't. It is the same i
; old story of office-holders, as well as of j
office-seekers, and recalls the case of a
man who once resided in a village in
I this section of the county, who. when j
j asked if he was an applicant for post- '
master, replied: "T'm not owner to make !
j much of a fight for it, but if the people !
I of the place in sis t on me taking it, I'll j
do so." He wasn't insisted upon. "We
have nothing to say about Gen. Camp- i
i bell being again a candidate, as that is i
I his own business and not ours, but as he j
i is usually a very positive man in his de-;
; elarations, why didn't he say, "I will',"!
' or "I won't" without imitating the
I thimble-rig game of so many and always
anxious politicians, familiarly known
as, 'now you see it. and now yon don't.'
Speaking of Gen. Camplell, reminds us
of the fact that last week, when the
question was before the House for the
admission of Cannon, Mormon, or Cam-
bell, Gentile, to a seat as the delegate
from Utah, ho voted with a majority of j
the Democrats and aga nst the Repub- 1
licans in favor of giving the seat toCan- !
non, not because Cannon has four wives, !
bo called, and Campbell has only one. J
but on the plain and conclusive gound i
that Carfnon received ritliteen th'tunnnd j
votes and Campbell only fifteen hundred, j
For that vote he deserves credit, the
other question as to whether Cannon
ought to be allowed to retain his seat
owing to his polygamous practices be
ing a proper subject for after considera
tion. As soon as Bob and Charles Ford,
the mnrderers of Jesse James, were re
leased from prison, by Governor Critten
den's pardon, on the dav after they were
sentenced to be hung, Bob was arrested
by the Sheriff of Rav county, Missouri,
on a warrant charging him with the
murder of "Wood Hite, one of Jesse's
gang, whose body was found in an old
well on the Ford farm, in the above
named county. The two Fords assert j
that Gov. Crittenden promised them
a full pardon for all past crimes if they
would lake Jesse James "dead of alive,'
but the Governor indignantly denies
this. Jesse's widow went to St. Joseph
a few days after he was killed to get his
pistols and Winchester rifles from the
Marshal of that city, the assortment be
ing large and valued at S400. Mrs.
James, who, if Charles Ford tells the
truth, was the "head devil" of the
James gang, declares that what she
knows about Jesse will never be made
public, and pays a tribute to his mem
ory by mildly saying : "If the officers
had just left Jesse alone he would have
lived all right, and would have been an
honor to his country."
Do Cameron, while in Philadel
phia a few days ago, in reply to an in
quisitive individual who was trying to
"pump" him in regard to his political
plans in this States, said : "My friends,
and those who know me, say that I nev
er recede when a position is once ta
ken." This means, of course, that
what has leen long known as Cameron's
State ticket, with Beaver at its bead,
will be put through at the Harrisburg
convention on the 10th of next month.
in defiance of any and all efforts that
t mav be made bv the Independent Re-
publicans to bring about a change in
Cameron's programme.

SPARROWS WORSE TnANTTTE CHINESE, j
If giving relief to a few people on the '
Pacific coast by driving away the Chi- j
nese lalorer is an important American
issue, how much more important is it j
that the great bulk of the American '
people should be relieved of the English ,
destroyer. Unfortunately, the Ameri- !
can people have a more damaging and j
dangerous foreign element in their '
midst than the Chinamen. Mr. Page,
Mr. March, and other distinguished an- i
ti-Chincse statesmen, do not appear to '
have taken into consideration ths dan
ger threatening us through that foreign
bully, the English sparrow. In their
patriotic zeal to check immigration from
the Flowery Kingdom they have over
looked our most grievious foreign foe,
that British bully, the sparrow. Upon
reading the evils, that have been soelo
quentlyportrayed by eminent statesmen,
as arising from Chinese immigration, I
have looked up some scraps of history
ujon the evils resulting from the impor
tation to our shores of the English spar
row, and I propose to lay them before
the readers of the Freeman, that they
may know how unfortunate for Anieri
civilization and prosperity it was that
in an ungarded moment we permitted to
enter into the. very citadel of our liber
ties a foreign bull'. Disregarding
George Washington's farewell admoni
tion to avoid entangling alliances with
foreigners, we opened our homes and
hearts and invited the alien sparrow to
become one of us. He came, he saw,
and it is only a question of time and, I
fear, aA'ery short time, when he shall
have conquered. lie is on us, and a
greater than the Chinese problem is,
what are we to do with the sparrow ?
There is no ray of hope that I can d is
cern on tue horizon of the future, unless
it is in the united massive intellects of
our National and State legislators clos
ing with the sparrov for the mastery.
In different parts of the country he has
been outlawed, declared an intolerable
nuisance. Upon this grave and impor
tant subject, the Macon, (Ga. ) Tekgrah
and Messenger says :
In the olden times of large plantations,
crowded corn cribs and smoke houses, fat
nmlc.i and homesteads whose hospitable
doors swung wide open at the approach of
stranger or f riend, the cotton warm w.-.s an
insignificant creature. If lie ate up the pro
duction of many broad acres which yielded
ast:ip!e worth from four to eitrht cents per
pound, ihe deficit thus created was easily
met by hoisting a ii"ero or two on the mar
ket block and the generous, thriftless, kind
and princely Southern ylantor drifted along
for yeass, unitil his time came, and then his
son drifted along after him pretty much in
the same fashion. But after the storm and
wreekace of civil war, when CutTee had be
come a statesman, and the prince a pauper,
when cotton was worth 4i ,-ents a pound,
the cotton catterpillnr suddenly loomed up
into vast and dangerous proportions.
Inquiry anxious inquiry was made as to
the means of destroyin-i this foe that thrust
himself between the farmer and the means
of restoring his broken fortunes, and exper
iment after experiment followed inquiry.
At such a crisis some evil genius bethuueht
him of the Enslish sparrow. The thought
leaped into purpose as the electric current
dashes from the engine to the burner, purses
were-anaile up, and by the next steamer
pkUtWtLg her course to Liverpool went or
UiVotSrilt' little bird which was to catch
and devoif every worm that dared approach
with voracious appetite and felonious intent
a craceful and leafy stalk of cotton. Unhap
pytsuest'sUon ! Unfortunate day !
'We micrlit as well have imported a lot of
cutter-snipes from the lanes and perlieus of
London to lead the Sunday-school classes of
our children as to have imported this bird to
enpage in the useful and necessary occupa
tion of catterpillar killing. Bred for many
years in the streets of London, he had learn
ed to live by his wits, to despise honest la
bor and was accomplished in villainy and
trickery."
The pugnacious red bird and the val
ient sap-sueker stood their ground for a
few rounds, but finally fled before the
sturdy blows of the belligerant English
bully. But though masters of the field,
after having driven its rightful owners
away, the sparrow did not occupy the
beautiful boxes made expressly for its
comfort and convenience, bur immedi
ately betook himself and followers down
to the bay. where he has lived in chim
ney cracks, crevices and gutters, and
increased with alarming rapidity. And
to-day not a chirp of birds can be heard
anywhere within Forsyth park, which
was once melodious with song. This is
but a fail sample of his behavior else
where. He has beaten every bird away
from every neighborhood where it. has
pleased him to take up his abode, and a
native American songster can only be
found in the dim recesses and fastnesses
of river swamps.
Domiciled in r.eat, tasteful houses in
the beautiful park of Savannah he went
to work industriously to increase his
numbers up to the war making point,
"When this was reached, with a note of
warning, he pounced upon the mocking
birds, the cat birds, the-blue jays, the
jorees that had for many years, made
heir homes amid the trees and shrub
bery, and in a day they were driven into
an exile as terrible to them as was the
rude world to Adam and Eve when they
stepped out forever from the beauties of
the garden of Eden.
The New York Sun says of the Eng
lish sparrow :
"But in New York proper, of which be is
now a naturalized citizen, he is the feathered
Bohemian, the gammon of the gutter, always
able to rise above it on emergency bv his
wings, but gpnerallv hugging it for the sake
of its cheap and easy commissariat. Hop
ping gaily and portly about the streets 'ike
other Bohemians for his living, it is no won
der that he has become a regular little New
Yorker, with infinite smartness and nvjch
pluck, and yet with a certain vnlgar impu
dence in the cock of his tail and the poise
of his head, a noisy, sagacious, amusing lit
tle citizen, independent in his manners, irre
!
gular in Ins habits, quarrelsome in his dispo
sition, and fickle in his friendship."
What are we to do with the foreign
bully V In Chattanooga they have turn- i
ed the small boy with his toy pistol on j
him. If the American small boy with I
his toy pistol was turned on him he j
would go, it is true, but what protec- j
tion would there be for human eyesight, j
limb, or life. For myself, I contem- i
tilate with fear
yea unfeigned horror
the dernier resort of turning the small
boy upon him. Whai are we to do ?
There is no ray of hope that I can see in
the future. The lookout is dark and
gloomy, indeed. There is no use in
seekinc for relief from his ravages by
applying to the massive intellects at
Washington, for this foreign bully has
filled every nook, cranny and crevice in
the capitol. You can see him setting
on the trees on thej Capitol grounds,
cocking his eyes on the Senators and
Congressmen as contemptuously and as
defiantly as a street gamin with a ci-rar
in his mouth contemplates his natural
enemy, a fierce and portly polieowan.
No respectable community or society
will prosper as long as it harbors a thief,
a bully and a rake, for the snmnuv is as
great a Mormon as Henry Ward B : -Tier
or Bricham Young, and sets all social
laws at defiance. O! that at an unguard
ed moment we admitted the Enoiish
sparrow to enter into the very citadel of
our liberties. The sparrow quest ion is
one that I am unable to solve. I lav
it down with t Tie- conviction that human
intelligence and human inarenn'tv can
not solve it. It is devoutly to h.- pray
ed for. that our i'tust nous anti Chinese
statesman will turn their attention firm
the Mongolian to ttv sparrow. Let the
gentle and peaceful Flowery Kingdom
oelestm! come. buf deliver us from the
beliigerant British bully.

TUT. .Tl'NKKTINO FUNKTt AT.
The majority report of the committee
to audit the expenses of the illness,
death and funeral of President Garfield
is a disgrace to every m m that signed
it. The reckless folly, the downright
robbery of admitting the iunkefing fun
eral expenses bill of S3.000 without an
exhibition of its items. and the giving of
princely rewards from the people's mon
ey to physicians and others whose work
was of questionable value, was robbery
of the meanest character. As to the
physicians. Dr. Rliss, who got S-2o.W
Agnew and Hamilton, who trot ?lo.fi00
each. Revburn, Roynton and Mrs. Dr.
F.dson, who got ?10. Out) apiece, noquack
who practices under a bought diploma
could have done worse. Until the dis
secting knife told its humiliating sforv.
President Garfield's medical attendants
were utterly ignorant of the nature of
h;s injury, beyond the simple knowledge
that it was a gun-shot wound. There
is not a man or woman of average intel
igence in this broad land but knows this
to be a fact. While the doctors were
cutting in one direction the work of
death was going on in another. From
that fatal 2d of July until the 19th of
September, when the end came, the
track of the assassin's bullet had not
been discovered by Drs. Pliss, Agnew,
Hamilton, Royburn, Royr.ton and Ed
son. There is everything to condemn
in this majority report. Tt is a down
right robbery, and a disgrace to every
man who signed it. If th- men who fa
vor this barefaced grab had anv sense of
honor thev would hang their heads in
shame. The idea of making two dis
carded physicians. Rnrnes and Wood
ward enlarged pensioners upon the na
tion for life is perhaps the most ridicu
lous of all rieiculons features of the
grab. The people of the whole country
would freely sustain aliberality consist
ent with justice in providing for the
exnensps of Garfield's sickness and fu
neral, but honesty and justice fades out

A Dastardly PEm-A dastardly deed
was committed in Reading by buiglarsat an
early hour Friday morning. About 3.15 a.
m. thieves visited the premises of Mrs. Er
nestine Long. 137 .South Seventh street.
She is a widow fifty years of age and keeps
a small confectionerv store in a small frame
house. They gained' entrance by forcing
the front shutters, and preceeding' up stairs
to an unoccupied loom, broke open a chest
and secured $14.- in ctish and other article3.
The bnrglars then went down stairs into the
yard, where they saturated the rear portion
of the building with coal oil. Three small
frame houses are in the same row and the
rear of all these were drenched with oil and
then set on fire in several places. The
flames were started1 dtreetly nnder the bed
rooms of the occupants of the three nouses.
The fire burned vigorouslv, and in a short
time the six occupants would have been
smothered and burned, hut fortnnatelv one
of the young women was awakened and
she gave the alarm. By hard work all the
occupants were safely led out of their rooms
to places of saff ty. The fire was extinguish
ed after considerable damage had been done.
The police have information that three men
were seen in the neighborhood about the
time of the fire. There is no clue nor mo
tive known.

FURTHER DETAILS OF THE DISASTER. j
PiTTsnrRfi, Pa., April 21. A dispatch
from Pennsville, Pa., says : The cyclone- .
1 swept district is a scene of devastation and j
distress, of waste and ruin the like of which i
has rarely before been known. The storm '
' that unheralded burst suddenly on this com- j
I munity about 4 o'clock on Wednesday even-
ing was of short duration and very limited in !
i its track. It moved'from south west to north- :
j east, going over the northern portion of Fay- ,
ettt county. i
' The little town of Pennsville is situated
' ahout four miles north of Connellsville, on
i the Southwest Railway, and is in sight of the !
devastated track, the storm having swept i
I just north of the village. The hurricane so i
j suddenly burst upon the people and was so
J soon over that few can give any satisfactory
i account, of its nature. The wind, rain and
'. hail poured out of a dark blue, funm-'shaoed
j cloud, which traveled at an almost incredible '
I speed. The first serious outbreak here was
! in the western part of this township, where i
it struck the Mennonite church, about one i
t mile west of this town and unroofed it. A ;
short distance from this church, Abner Jar
' rfttt, a boy lOyears old, riding along on horse- (
! hack, was carried some fifty yards by the
j force of the wind, and his horse killed by
some timbers that were dashed upon it. His j
! brother Neil, a 3onng man, was hurled!
i through the air in the same way for a long j
i distance. The storm struck the farm of A. !
; N. Sherrick, on the crest of the hill near j
Pennsville, destroying the orchard, unroofing !
j the barn, and passing on to the house, level- j
j ing chimneys, fences and trees to the ground, j
ihe gale crossed southwest to the I'enn
; sylvania Rniln ad, ai d destroyed timber and
j trees on the Wilson, I'.oyle and Playford
' farms. It unroofed the Disciple church and
' otherwise seriously damaged it. On the Mt.
Pleasant road the house of a widow named
j Miller was demolished and her barn carried
I so far that it has not yet been found. W. C.
I Lyons' property was also damaged to the
i amount of Sl.oo'o. John S. Detwiller's tiarn
; was unroofed and his house badly damaged,
as was also the house, barn and orchard of
; G. I). Atkinson. Half a mile further on E.
i Herninger and II. S. Fretz suffered similar
h.sses.
i The elements seemed to gather strength as
! th storm traveled on. P.efore it reached
; Mount's (.'reek it took an easterly course, and
j here the deadliest work began. John Bun
j doriT's house was the first- to succumb.
; Strange to relate the lower story of the house
was swept instantly away, and the upper
portion then came tumbling down. Mr.
; l'.undorff was outside, and when he saw the
! storm approachi.ig he sought shelter inside.
: He was, however, overtaken and whirled
abont In the air at the mercy of the gale. His
dwelling place was rendered a shapeless mass
of ruins. He relates tliat rails, rutibish and
timber could be seen flying through the air
as if they came from the clouds. Mr. Bun
dorff was strnck by one of these missiles just
below the small of the back. It penetrated
an artery and it is feared the wound is fatal.
Mr. Joseph Glasshurr.'s house was utterly
destroyed, as was also his barn. The last he
saw of the roof of the latter it was going up
the mountain at lightning speed. Nothing
was lef t standing on his farm. Mr. Glass
burn's wife and five of the children are badly
hurt.
A half mile from Glassbnrn's the storm
struck the bouse of John Wingrove. He
was about son yards from his home, driving
thither a load of oats. He leaped from the
wagon and ran towards his house. Fifty
yards from the hoasehis wife lay dead, with
her babe of 11 months clasped tightly to her
bosom. She had seized her youngest born
at the instant the storm struck the huildine
and had been hurled so far that the violence
deprived her of life. The babe was unharm
ed. Mr. Wingrove's other children were try
inc frantically to extineuwh the fire, which
hao: eanaht in their clothing and was then
consuming them. They assert that the fire
burst upon them from a cloud overhead. Al
evan.h.r -ml lljrr. ta.nnftt,wc gi,iu
and 13 years respectively have since died of
their injuries. The other children will prob
ably not recover.
About a mile further on J. Sta-.ifTer's two
houses and a barn were leveled to the groiTnd.
Mrs. Stauffer was seriout.lv injured, as were
also her two daughters. The last point tn
the tiack. so far as we can ascertain, was
two miles beyond Kt-uiffcr's at Hinton Kyap
snidcr's. whose house was carried away.
