Dota Pedro, Brazil"® emperor docs n >t wish much show in his visit to the United States. Before he landed in New York, he expressed his desire to travel as a private citizen and wished to avoid all demoatralion. He is now iu California, and a dispatch from San Francisco, of 25 ult., says: lK>m l'cdic and party arrived this •evening at Pleasonton, forty miles from the city. His ear was detached from the train, put behind another engine and rushed over the road half ait hour ahead of the overland train. The object was to avoid any demonstration on his arrival, and it was a perfect success. The party pas.— e l through Oakland without attracting attention and crossing the Bay and ar riving at the wharf took carriages to the Palace Hotel, where they entered with out half a doxen people knowing they had arrived. On the arrival of the regu lar train at Oakland, a great crowd was in attendance with bands playing and colors tlying, while Pom Pedro was al ready ensconced in apartments in the Palace Hotel. Seats have been engaged by telegraph for the party at Mechanic*' pavilion to-night to hear tiilmore s orchestra on the arrival of the train at Sacramento. Pom Pedro and party hastily examined the workshops of the Central Pacific, expressing regret at the briefness of the inspection. The party will remain in the city four or five days and then go to other points of in terest. The Williamaport Bulletin, republican, thinks.this aw rong time to commence criticising Grant. Grant undoubtedly thinks so too. If there is any fellow just now that won Id like to be "let alone," it is I aelees Grant. McKee, of the St. Louis Globe-Deiuo crat, who was convicted some months ago of being in the whisky ring, lias been sentenced to pay a fine of f lO.UUO and be imprisoned two tears in the county jail. This is heavy punishment for an eminently respectable and infiu ential gentleman, a deacon in the church, a prominent leader in politics, and pro prietor of the principal Republican organ west of the Mississippi. But there has Iteen altogether too much robbery of the government by such respectable people and the lesson of Deacon McKee's dis grace must prove wholesome, so says the Herald.—Times. Grant from a third-termer has come down to be neutral —he is for nobody now, since bimselfis out of the question. How suddenly his notions changed, and nothing else but a little investigation did it. Had he been only a one-termer he might have retired without a blasted reputation or a disgraced administration —but the evil practices under his second term have finished him up and it would be well for the country in the record of the last four years of Grantism could be wiped out. The state legislature will adjourn on 5 inst. It will be noted for one good thing—it has passed less bills than any of its predecessors. Under the old con stitution a volume of laws was ground out each winter which were mostly of a private nature and to legalize some scMemc to ekin and plunder the public. This evil has been greatly curbed by the new constitution, and the good ef fects are noticeable in the few laws made during the present session. Be yond the repeal of the notary fees act, we believe there has been no local legis lation for Centre county this winter. • j The state senate, on 20 ult., confirm ed the appointment of George Lear as Attorney General. Ayes 44, nays Itone. This appointment was made by Gov. Hartranft over two months ago, and the republicans in the senate refused to swallow it. Mr. Lear thus hung fire until 20, when he went through without opposition. What changed the minds of the stubborn senators we have not learned. On same day l'rofeasor Wickerebarn was re-appointed Superintendent of Public Instruction, and was confirmed. Messrs. McMichael, Shoenberger, Cur tin, Mitchell, of Franklin county, and McC'rea, of Philadelphia, were appoint ed as a Board of Centennial Mana gers. That was a sound message of Grant's vetoing the of the law reducing the president's salary from SSO,(KM) down to $25,000 the old figures of Washington, Buchanan, and Lincoln. We printed the veto message in the Reporter last week, and we call it sound, because it shows great veneration for the constitu tion, which in this instance reminds usof of a deathbed repentance, for we never knew Grant before to build much upon the constitution—perhaps it is only lately he became acquainted with that ancient piece of parchment, and he evi dently got to like it because the constitu tion is full of "provisions" and it is "pro visions" that ti'rnnt ha- be, n after dur- j ing his right years in tho presidential \ chair. The salary law wan full of"provisions" f>'i lirunt. The pt.-i-! .h nl in hi- \eto m; - thai "in hisevpe-j Heart 125,000t10M aot defray the ex pensos ef tie i xtutive" for provision* for one year. Probably it would it at tending hor c races, long llranch loaf ing* ami bumming around the country were dispensed w'.lh. And then he that f'NYOtHt "is not now one tilth in value what it wa- when fiv.d !>y the Constitution in supplying" provision!"

Ou Monday last the trial of PclrolF wa- taken up in the House for the viola tion of the anti-bribery sections of the Constitution. J. Alexander Siuip.- n,of Philadelphia, appeared as cxmnaol for Petroff; Wolfe, llays and Key burn manage*! the case oil behalf of the House. Capt. Skinner, Journal Clerk, was the "tirst witness examined. Hesuh-tauUally repeated hi- testimony given before the Committee iu relation to his negotia tions between Einbick and JVtrolT. It bore hard on the Philadelphia member. At 1 o'clock Skinner's examination was concluded, and the House took a re cess. The entire day was consumed in con sidering the case of Petrotf, charged with corruption or improper conduct ia the pu-sage of the Boom bill. A vote being taken on inserting cen sure instead ofexpulson, it resulted in in the negative, and on a vote being taken on expulsion it resulted in the affirmative by the following vote—yeas, lis, nays,lt'-. In another column of the Reporter we publish the prospectus of the Philadel phia Times. Pennsylvania never had a better daily then the Tiuua and it stems to be everybody's favorite. It furnishes ail the news of the day, has able correspondents at all important centres, and is edited with marked abili ty. ■■ ♦ - -■ On 1 inst a boiler explosion on a ferry boat between London and Bingeu killed thirty persons.

Pom Pedro has once more set his face to the east, and has his gaze fixed cn Oil City. N\ Y. Tribune: According to the statement by the Bowlers, published in yesterday's Tribune, their uncle and guardian, George li. Pendleton, did nothing in collecting the war claim of their railroad upon the Government, which they did not fullv approve, and was paid nothing beyond what they were glad to offer and were fully convinced that he had amply earned. We have no sort of doubt that this is an exact state ment of the ease. There has ncTcrbeen the least reason to believe that Mr. Pen dleton did anything in the matter which either the stockholders of his road or the family of the heirs for whom he was guardian did not fully approve. The onlv difficult point in the case is this. As President of the road he was chiefly his own constituency since he represent ed, in his fiduciary capacity as guardian for the heirs, three-fifths of the stock : The heirs are nearly of age, and the guardian might well be largely guided by their wishes. But still, he was technically bound to act on his own judgement for their best interests. There can he no doubt that they want ed him to have the tnoney, but whether he as their guardian, should haveaward ed the money to himself as President of their road, is a more difficult question. The salient feature of the case, however, is this. Mr. Pendleton never dreamed that lie was doing an impioper thing. The heirs never dreamed of if. The road itself was always considered a family concern. They arranged its af fairs to suit themselves, and decided | among themselves that if Pendleton, [ whom they all wanted to help, could re cover this claim, he should have half of it. There was nothing in the case dif ferent from arrangements which busi ness men make even- day. The only difficulty was, that while the arrange ment was really made by the heirs, yet fx*fore they actually became of age, Pendleton himself, as their guardian, could alone give it legal effect, and was thus placed in the awkward iositiou of deciding, as guardian, to pay the money to himself as President. The people out of whose pockets it came, however, are perfectly contented with the payment, and would make it over again to-mor row if they could. Under these circum stances, the complaints of outside people for political effect are likely to have less permanent weight. 1 PICTURE OF MRS. BEECUER. From f/ie Hartford Timet. Having occasion to go on board the , Acklawaha boat to-day, I have noticed a nale, elderly woman, with very white hair, who kept herself aloof from the excursionists, and by accident I learned it was the wife of Henry Ward Beecher. Bhe was going up the river twenty-six miles to a settlement on the St. John's called Beecher, in honor of her famous husband. She can" up to I'alatka on Saturday—possibly from the residence of Mrs. Stowe, at Mandarin: though I wouldn't like to vouch for this—for "the Be cohere are peculiar." This member of the family is said to have her own peculiarities. She is an old woman, now—probably not less than 70—{forshe is considerably older then her husband) —and her aspect is that of a woman who suffers from an in ward pain that reaches deeper than the physical hotly. Some observers, seeing lier sitting there alone on the steamer, might say she was borne down by grief and trouble—and surely she has had her share; hut there was something in that pale, determined face which spoke of more than grief. A bystander said. "She looks like three w hole tragedies boiled down into one act;" and this did better expft**s that unhappy lace. A strange, secret, inner history is hidden in its cold mar ble. It is not a winning face—not the countenance one would /expect to see in the wife of Ilenry Ward lWctu-y. What it does express 1 will leave to nthe/ By mate out. Enough for me to know that she carries, poor woman, a sight of trou ble beyond tlm miseries of most of those ! who d< serve punishment. I She hid her face at times with lict ■ luind not from staring etirin-ity . for she knew not that she was at that moment [the "1 c.l f •erntiuv on tin part < i ' , stranger- hut s, i iitingly hv a s-rt >t r ! involuntary and holph • inoveim nt lmrn Of ,'Otno Intern 1 atrivgh It was 1 astern, unhappy, nncotnAuMe la e, , and one I vva- dm -t try !>> have I seen. . * Till >f.'< l:l I si'H\ if! ! xl> /•( i:- Itch's ll.i Ml IV lI I.

Some are cheerful, others arc melan . holy ; < tne are sanguine, others are well informed, llul the evidences of true Christ.unity are always the same Reli gion is the same in all, yet so many differ ent peis- ns looking at them would see them in different lights, Peter and John were both good christians, yet thoy were very different men. And much more may 'ordinary christians l>e < xpected to differ. 8 The similarity between natural and ievangelical views and affections. Lovo and hatred, joy and sorrow, confi drnee and baue, etc.. mist and operate both as natural and evangelical affection*, and it is difficult for Christians to tell thetn apart. 4.

Angels know thoy aro holy,—Devils, they are not. If Christians were perfect | ly holy they would also know it, but they! are not. David, Solomon, Fetor, etc . tinned. Uishon Ueveridgo says : I sin : 1 repent. 1 sin in my repentance: I prayj | for forgiveness and sin in my prayers; 1] resolve against future sin and sin in form-! ing my resolutions, *0 thai luy whole life! is a continued course of sin Hut a great-1 rr than the Bishop has said, Rom., 7:U*-24 J The good that 1 would, 1 do not ; but tbi eyil which 1 would not, that I do, etc. 6. Backsliding. Many wethougbt belter than ourselves, have so shamefully backslidden that we, are compelled to doubt of Iheit religion and often question the reality of our own And were it not for the Bible we wouldi all turn infidels—l mean if we had no! mere reliable criteria than the conduct oi many christians, i shall now close this article by quoting Dr Scott again. He; says: The lull assurance of hope, in lhe ; highest meaning of the word*, is attained , hy compnritivcly few, and is seldom if ev-; er preserved without some degree of dim-j inulion or variation, through the remain der of life ; hut a prevailing assurance ol ( acceptance, and of final salvation, is the ; privilege of all diligent and consistent 1 Christians, and is, in them, seldom great ly interrupted, except by misapprehension or by peculiar temptations and conflicts. 1 or by their being betrayed into sin. Lit; us, then, believe and our joy shall be lull.' Let us honor Cod by trusting in Him. J ■ T., Aari-nsburp. I a r l FISH! FISH! FISH! i *!
