Geo. F. Miller.
What has become of all the assur
ances iterated by Geo. F. Miller, Pre#
ident of the L. C. A T. RR., threej
and four years ago, that Ac eou'd pufh
the road through in/A speed, and have
tha cars running in 18 months lime?
Did Mr. Miller know what he was
talking about then, or was he speak
ing for buueotube * These assurances
of Mr. Miller have net to the one
fourth part been carried out, although
he received all the legislation he
claimed was necessary to raise the
means to go on with the work. Our
people paid their stock several years
ago, and patiently looked on aud saw
their fine farms cut up under the as
surances from the President that they
should soon be repaid for the great
sacrifice by having the road in a few
short months. All these promises aud
assurances were giveu by Mr. Miller
several years before the late panic,
aud if only one half met, the road
would have been completed, as it
might have beeu, and as it should have
been, at least 18 mouths before the
panic came upon the country t put a
temporary stop to all public enter
prises. Our people have shown more
patience under luese delays and disap
pointments thau can reasonably be
asked, and there is precious little more
of that virtue left iu them, auil for
good cause, for they have beeu put to
the test too severely.
The last report of the Penu'a RR-
Company shows that corporation to be
on good footing, and declaring a semi
annual dividend of 5 per cent. The
buildiug of our road is a small afTair
for that rich and gigantic company,
and the grading being nearly all com
pleted westward as far as the Harris
township line, what good reason can
Mr. Miller give for the present vexa
tious delay? That's what the stock
holders wish to know, and have a
right to know. The farmer has seen
his fields despoiled and there they lie
thus, without any near prospect of re
alizing therefor those indirect benefits
which were to follow the early com
pletion of the road.
The annual election of the stock
holders will come off early in June,
and we think, with a majority of oth
ers interested, that somebody else
should take the placa of Geo. F. Mil
ler, as President of the road, because,
unless we misjudge the man, we be
lieve he has shown too little energy
and unconcern iu having the work
pusued forward. There has been too
much liberality on his part in promises
and assurances followed by a lack of
go-aheadativene-s,and the rate at which
the work has progressed thus far, does
no credit to President Miller's execu
tive ability- There has been enough
of hem and haw, aud we want the
puff of the locomotive instead. We
have no unkind feelings towards Mr.
Miller, and esteem him personally, but
the tardiness with which aur railroad
has been pushed on, has reached that
point when we can no longer keep
silent, and in the name of tha stock
holders we demand immediate and
speedy action, and if Mr. Miller
cannot put new life into this improve
ment, why let him be set aside aud
some one be elected President who
can.
Congreca
As the time approaches when the
democracy of this district must put in
nomination a candidate for Congress,
it is proper to look about for the right
person. This is the first time for an
entire generation when a democratic
nomination was equivolent to an elec
tion. In looking over the entire dis
trict there is but one man whose pre
eminent qualifications aud fitness point
him out as the proper Btandard bearer
of the democracy at the present time,
and this is Hon. L. A. Mackcy of
Clinton county.
Mr. Mackey, it will be remembered
by the readers of the Centre Reporter,
was the nominee of our party, four
years ago, under the old district, which
was black as the ace of spades, and
.when it required large sacrifice to run
upon the democratic ticket. Mr.
Mackey was then the only gentleman
in the district who would uudertake
to face the foe, and although defeated,
he made a gallant fight and beat down
the radical majority to such a degree
as to make Mr. Armstrong, his oppo
nent, feel that he made but a hair
breadth escape. Now that we for
once live in a thoroughly democratic
district, we deem it simple justice that
Mr. Mackey should again be our
standard bearer, and that we tender
him that which he alone was willing to
shoulder when there was no hope to
elect a democrat.
So far as our observation goes, we
believe this is the feeling of demo
crats, and we are not aware that there
will be any demociat to contest his
nomination, which so far as we know,
i generally conceeded.
Mr. Mackey possesses all the qual
ifications requisite for a member of
Congress. He is as conversant with
national afiaiis as any gentleman in
the district, and is quite a good and
ready debater, with sound sense and
weight in every sentence that he ut
ters, and, as a democrat, souud upon
the questions of the day. Upon the in
tricate question of our finances, Mr.
Ifackey holds views at once iu conso
nance with the, great farming, and
other iadustrical interests of the coun
try. His views were clearly given
when a candidate four years ago, in
an able speech at the democratic J
mass meeting at Centre Hall, ami in
other parts of (lie district. Ilia view*
upon thia vital topic, are in accord
with those of Ohio'a distinguished
democrat, Geo. If. lVndleton. Mr.
Mackey wa at the head of the Lock
Haven Hank, fei a long term of year*,
until all those Male iuatitutiona were
taxed out of existence by the act cre
ating tbu present National Hank ays
; tern, a lyittoi which hi* bank and
others were forced into; he has all;
i along been unfriend))' to the entire
j system, and w ill abandon it at the
; first moment that is atforded by the!
necessary legislation, for banks to re
turn back as state institutions.
Mr. Mackey is a gentleman of the
purest chaiactor; large hearted and
liberal fat beyond the moat of men of
his station. Cultured, high toned and
honorable in every respect, the dis
trict will be houored with him as its
representative. We are glad to see
(hat the democracy sectu to jH.iul to
him as the proper man for Congress.
He will be a uomiuee to whom all
houost men, of all parlies, will turn,
as one fit to have their suffrages.
The Knight Templars at JMle.-
foute
This ancient and reapectable order
met at Hellefonte, in their beautiful
regalia and held their 'convocation,
occupying the 12, 13 and 14 iust.,
terminating in a grand parade and
banquet.
Till) lowu was beautifully aud splen
didly dtcoratad with ever-green
wreaths, dags bearing auiblauw, aud
ensigns, Ac., in every street, and from
public and private dwelliugs, and the
citizens of the place will be proud of
the successful efforts iu their welcome
of the "Sir Knights."
The origiu of the Crusaders, as the
Sir Kuights were called, took place iu
the Uuth century (1095) when disor
ders of the feudal with the cor
ruption of taste and worm*#*, gouse
quent upon these, were at their great
est excess. From ,'jjnt era we can
trace a succession of causes and events
that contribute to abolish anarchy and
barbarism and introduce order and
politeness. Among the few causes,
says Dr. Robertson, "we must rank
chivalry." The trader could no lon
ger travel in safety; rj pot only
plundered the merchants, but carried 1
off the women that fell in their way.
It became the busiuese of all to dis
cover and apply such remedies as
would remove the prevailing disor
ders. Such was the origin of the hon
orable institution, generally represen
ted as whimsical. The young War
rior among the ancient Germans, as
wallas among tha modern Knights, 1
was armed with certain ceremonies
proper to inspire martial ardor, hut
Chivalry considered as a civil and
military institution, is as late aa the,
eleventh century. The previous dis-
ciplin and solemnities of initiation
were many and singular, a.id pone but
those of high rank admitted —first iu
the character of a Page, afterwards as
a Squire ; nor was be admitted to the
supreme honor of Knight-hood uutil
he had given more striking proofs of
his valor and address ; alter answering
suitable*questions the usual oath was
administered to him, namely, to serve
his prince, defend the faith, protect
the person* and reputation of virtuous
iadies, and to rescue, at all haxard* of
bis life, widows, orphans, and all un
happy persons groaning under injus
tice, and oppression. Then the Knights
and ladies who assisted at the ceremo
nies, adorned the candidate with the
armor and ensigns of chivalry, begin
ning with putting on the spurs, and
ending with girdling him with the
sword, then the person who was to
confer the honor of Knighthood, gave
him the accolade or dubbing by their
gentle strokes with the flat part of the
sword on the shoulder, or with the
palm on theneck, saying,"ln the uame
of God, 3t. Michael and St. George, I
make thee a Knight—be thou loyal
and brave." Valor, humanity, cour
tesy, honor, were the characteristic# of j
chivalry, and to these were added re
ligion, which were productive of the
greatest and.'most permanent effects
both upon policy and manners. War
wss carried on with less ferocity—
humanity no less than courage came
to be deemed the ornament of knight
hood, a distinction superior to royalty,
and an bouor which princes were
proud to secure. Courtesy was re
commended as the most amiable of
Knightly virtues, and every Knight
devoted himself to the service of some
lady, and violence and oppression
decreased. A scrupulous adherence,
with the most religious attention to
fulfill every engagement, but particu
larly to those between the sexes as
more easily violated, became the dis
tinguishing characteristic of a gentle
man, because Chivalry was regarded
as a school of honor, and inculcated
the most delicate sensibility with re
spect to that point, and valor, second
ed by so many motives of lave, reli
gion aud virtue, became altogether
irresistible. The spirit of chivalry of-
ten rose to an extravagant height,
and Gregory Vli had formed the pro
ject of uniting the western Christians
against the Mohammetaus in the re
covery of the Holy Land ; while the
minds of men were thus aroused, a
tnonk, commonly called "Peter the
Hermit," aided the project of Grego
ry VII, leading the forces of Christen
dom against the infidels wt) driving
them out of the Holy Land. Persons
of all ranks flew to arms—computed
at three hundred thousand men uuder
the command of Peter the Hermit and
Walter the Penniless ; reaching the
plains of Asia, Solimon, sultan of Nice,
fell upon them and slaughtered them.
fn Uie tnthe more disciplined
soldiers of Hie crn&s the Ca-
Jiph of Egypt, and after pi fivp
weeks, took the city of Jerusalem and
put the garrison and inhabitants to
the sword. But this did not end the
contest. In 1143 a second crusade was
formed under Louis VII of France,
which failed. A third crusade was
raised to displace the great Haladin
who had retaken the Holy City, this
army of soldiers of the cross w as under
the directions of Philip and Richard
kings of France and England, and af
ter many severe and bloody battles,
they succeeded in throwing the king
of Jerusalem into prison. Then Rich
ard concluded a truce with that mon
arch, stipulating that Plolemais, J op
pa and other sea-port towns of l'ales
tine, should remain in the hands of
the Christians, and every one of that
religion should have the liberty to
! perform bis pilgrimage to Jerusalem
I unmolested. Another crusade wns
| formed under Frederick 11, and those
i who took the cross were generally
French aud Ocrmau ; these Teutonic
i knights —Knights. Templars and
Knights Hospitallers, took a vow to
combat and defeat the infidels, and in
this they were successful, as Freder
ick 11 compelled the sultan to cede
to him Jerusalem and rts territory
and all the country between Jerusa
lem, Tyre, Sidon, vie. In return for
these concessions a truce was granted
the Saracens for Iru years. In 1244
Louis the IX of France makes a vow
jto engage iu a new crusade. In 124-'*
Ibe sets sail for the relief of lho Holy
j I .and, accompanied by his
and alt the Knights of Frauoe. lu
| 1249 Lou is lauds near the city of
Paiuietta, iu Egypt at the head oftfO,-
000 Sir Knights. In 1230 that place
is abandoued to him, but afterwards
besieger) and retaken in cousetjueuce
jof the decrease iu his army, lu 1251
Loyis visits Palestine, remains four
years without effecting any thing, and
thus ends the last crusade of the btr
Knights, being a period of two bun
dre I years from its first inception, a
spirit that had been produced and uu
institution had arisen more hoourable
to man than any other merely hu
mane—this was the institution of
Kuighlhood, which counectcd with
! Christianity.
The fiue dispisy qf tV order which
we have just seeu, was plrasmg to the

be gratified with the honors done and
civilities exteuded to them ou their re
caption and sojourn by the citizens ol

Suubury A Lewlstowu Railroad
We briefly noticed iu our last issue,
says the Lcwistowu Gazette, tha sale
of the Suubury and Mewistown Rail
road. jjhich took place at the Phila
delphia Kxchaagp on Tuesday of last
weak- It was made untie; a decree
of the Supreme Court for tbeKaslern
District of Pennsylvania, and by di
rection of James Pollock aud Kw
ward P. Mitchell, UtUjet? named in
a mortgage dated April Ist, 070.
This mortgage was for 51,200,000.
The attendance at the sala was
large.
Mr. Freeman announced the u?rms
o{ sale: Twenty thousand dollars cash
upon signing the bid, aod rtaidue
upon confirmation of rale and ac
knowledgement of the deed, provided,
however, that the payment of the resi
due may be made in such bonds of the
said Sunbury and Com
pany as are entitled to receive the
fiiml a;ifinp from the sale upou its
distribution.
Several notices of unpaid claims for
damages in Miflliu and Snyder coun
ties, Ac., were read by different par
tie*.
Mr. Freeman stated that he had
been instructed by Gov. Pollock to
announce that the notices will not
a flirt the title to the roa4-
The sale then commenced. The
first bid was $400,000. (Quickly
from another part of of the room came
the word "one," and the bidding was
carried on by two gentlemen in a
very spirited manner until the figure
reached $551,000. At this price the
property was sold.
The purchasers were Samuel M.
Zulick, Josjib Hart, Daniel Ruck,
Joseph D. Thornton, and \V. JJudd
Deacan. who are understood te be a
committee representing certain bond
holders.
This is an absolute sale, and renders
the stock and all bonds, except those
used by the purchasers, worthless.
W htlhfr the land damages will come
into the distribution, continue to be a
lien on the road, or oe thrown out
altogether, will now have to be legally
decided. The law which will permit
a bankrupt railroad company to
stave off* the payment of such claims
ought to be obliterated from the stat
ute books, and one passed making the
report of vittwen £r.al aU( I a prior
lien against any an<l everything in (
fact placed on the same footing as a
mechanic's lien.
The Wealth of Pennsylvania.
The wealth of Pennsylvania is not
ouly immense, it is solid. It is simply
impossible to ascertain it within hun
dreds, perhaps thousands of millions.
The best that can be done with the
aid of such slalictics as we have IB to
approximate 'it ; that Mr. Bighnm,
head of the Bureau of Statistics, has
done as well as could be from the in
formalioa available.
In getting at the wealth of the State
(aays the Pituburg Commercial) Mr
Bigbam considers the State valuation
anil UtjU oif,;le by the United Slates
census officer in IAjO. 'i'hc State As
sessors, with a solemn and woudenul
regard for their oaths, report the real
and personal properly of the Slato at
81,171.968,977, while the actual value
reported by the United States census
officials, with rfb ward or axes to grind
is $.'1,475,831,851 -nearly three time
tig much as the State assessment.
The capital of the two hundred Ra
tional Hanks in the State is 8*432,-
913,732.12; of the State bauks, $43.-
255,736,59; and of the savings bank,
building and loan associations, and
private banks $187,081,332,90. This
makes a total of banking capital in
Pennsylvania, in various forms reach
ing the aggregate of $433,250,801,-
66.
fhe value of the railroads of the
Slate, canal cou>punies, coal and min
ing companies nnj passenger railroads
is estimated at a total ot 3,353 J13,-
734,60.
Next comes corporations aside from
railroads, auch as insurance, water,
gtt, express, oil, etc. They represent
n total valuation of $20,000,000.
Merchant*, wholesale and retail,
are put down at $421i,G(H),000.
Agricultural and fanu and garden
products 1521.078,1149,00, and manu
factures of all kind*, $997,050,521 .(*O.
These figures tho commissioner colla
ted from (he census report of 1870 and
they constitute, as ho lias arranged
(hem, the moat detailed statement ol
tho wealth of Pennsylvania heretofore
published. Tho products in kind,
and imt in value, as estimated almve,

oats, Indian corn, pone, beans, potn*

Mr. Hicham trita hi* hand at it for
one year, with this result:

Bituminous. 24,913,272
Oil 29,018,000
Total $129,710,855
The production of iron manufac
tures in 1870 was $127,000,0011, ami
forty per reut. of increasa siuce would
bring the product of 187!t up to the
stupendous aggregate of $1 ■ 7,000,000.
The product of steel, copper, riue and
nickel, new industries in this Btale,
fails balow $40,000,000. A large
class of minor industries, state, mar
ble, limestone, sandstone, fire-brick
and many others of like class, afford
the Bureau of Statistic* uo date ou
which to make a statement, and, there
fore, the Commissioner estimates these
product* at $20,000,000.
If we aggregate all these figures to
get at the total wealth of our grand
old State, we tiud that it reaches near
ly seven thousand millions ol dollars,

THE PIGMY PEOPLE OF AFRICA

The Khedive tpeke wl a race of pigmies
which had been discerned In tho very

of the Nyaiu Nyam*. and advised us t<>
look at tw# natives of the tribe which had
recently readied Cairo. O* leaving the
palace s-f .Kbdeeii, therefore, we drev# im-
N.rdiatsTy .to the palas e nl th* Nile, near
lioulak, where they are now kept. Un
making inquiry the soldiers in tue inner
-cart immediately pointed out two ttuall

glat.ee. and was not satisfied, until after a

fall grown man
The soldiers brought the pigmies for
ward for our inspection. They cato*. hatf
w lib an air uf defiance, or of protest against
'.h# superirr strength which surrounded
! them A tall Dink* frein the White Nile,

' them, spoke a little Arabic, and I was
thus able to gel a liltla addttiena! informs

The highest promoatory between Cane

coast of Maine. Suppose this bluff to
stretch semofortv miles into tho Atlantic
ocean, varying in it* width frcm two to
nine miles across, and reaching at its ex
tremitv an atitude of 11,000 feet above the
water*—to be attached to the coast by a
low and narrow Isthmus, and to be cloth

gay with flowers, rich with odors, merry
with songbirds, and canopied by the
brightness of all blue skies—and the read

Between this bold headland and the
