THE CENTRE REPORTER FRED KURTZ ... Editor, Pa, May 28,°8¢ ° Cextre Haul, A SLAP AT ARTHUR. Stinging Letter From MacVeagh to Genarel Bristow. * Philadelphia, May 19.—The first pro- test against the re-nomination of Presi- dent Arthur from a Republican head- quarter comes from ex-Attorney General Brewster. Taking as a text the fact that Mr. Brewster is to address an Arthur meeting in New York to-night, he branches ont into a review of the Presi- dent's career as complete as it is scath- ing and severe. Itis a most remarkable document, coming as it does from one of the ablest and best known of the Reform Republicans, and cannot help but make a decided impression upon those it is ie- tended to influence: THE LETTER. An Assooiated Press dispatch gives Lhe following eynopsis of the letter: “I notice thut you are announced to address a meeting to-morrow night in New York ia support of the proposition that tne political career of Chester A. Ar- thur makes his elevation to the Presiden- cy by the voes of his fellow citizens more desirable than that, for instance, of senator Edmunds or Senator Sherman or any of our eminent public mean whose names are frequently used in connection with that great office. As you extorted wy administration and support and Mer. Aribur's contemptuous Rostility eight years ago by your efforts to bring the guilty in ugh places to punishment, 1 am sorry to tind myself differing so radi- cally from you as to the present duty of men who care for a higher and purer public life. Butiny warm personal re- gard for you makes me desirous that your speech should be a good speech, even in a bad cause. I venture, therefore, to offer you a few suggestions. At the threshold 1 vught to warn you that while nobody euvies Mr. Arthur that great prize, as far peyond his expectations as his deserts, which he drew “in the lottery of assas- sipation,” yet nobody has forgotten the pregaant fact that Guiteau was the orig- juni Arthur man ; that he killed Presi deut Garfield expressly to make Mr, Ar- thur President, by tuat act for nearly four years. Now, in view of this awiul tragedy aod its results, it has always seemed 10 a good many people, outside Wall street, of course, that a proper sense of decency and the fitness of things wonid have led President Arthur and his friends to see that his true course was to be satisfied with one term, thus secured to him and not to challenge his country- wen to renew his political career and to express their opinion of it. A MAN WHO PRAISED BRIBERY. “Ag, however, you propose to bold up that career as worthy of special honor, and even of the highest office in the gilt of the people, in perference, for exsm- ple, to toe political career of Seaator Ed- munds or Senator Sherman, 1 will help you to a few points in the line of your argument.” MacVesgh thea cites the building up and managing of the “ma- cnine” of the city of New York ; the no- ble attitude Mr,” Arthur maintained to. wards the civil cervice orders of Presi- dent Hayes, delying both the President snd the Secretary of the Treasury, and refusing either to obey their orders or resign nis office ; to the third term ; to his speech at the Dorsey banquet: “Ihe first and last occasion in our history when one man publicly passed another for bribing voters;” to Mr, Arthur's part in the resignations of Mr. Conkling and Mr. Platt, and bis conduct at Albany un- til summoned to Washiogton by the sound of Guitesu’'s pistol, and to the “mad riot of calumny and defamation of the dead Guaaflield, in which for many months the mest intimate friends sod associates of Mr. Artbar indulged.” ‘Lhe remainder of tue “‘puints” are ia the game line. ————— —— A ————— The Hartleton tannery, owned by Wm.

The Tyrone and Clearfield line ran trom Vail, Blair county, to Curweusville, Clearfield county, a distance of fifty-four miles ; with twenty-six miles of branch er.

The comfort of the farmer's family should not be overlooked. Very old farm-houses, and those that are cheaply built for temporary use until a better can be afforded, are often most uncomfortable in sovere weather. Windows and doors admit the external air more freely than is required for ventilation. Weather strips made of India rubber are very effective, but they are not to be had everywhere, and require more of an outlay than is al- ways convenient, A little ingenuity will provide substitutes. For the windows, place small wedges between the upper and lower sashes, to prevent rattling, then paste on strips of brown paper to close all the cracks, using stiff flour paste, or that made from rye meal with a little alum added. It is well to leave one upper sash to be let down, as may be required for ventilation. Doors may be made tight by tacking tailor’s listing or folded strips of woolen cloth along the sides and tops. The opening at the bottom of doors is usually the largest. For these, take pieces of small scantling, of the proper length, and cover with old carpet or other convenient fabrio, stuffing the side which goes against the door with wool, cotton, or even with hay, to make a sort of cush- jon. While it is well enough to have the kitohen door open directly into the room in Summer, it is very uncomfort- able for the inmates in Winter. If possi- ble, a storm door, which can be closed before the kitchen door is opened, should be provided. This may be made in such a manner as to be taken away in warm weather and - stored for future use Sleeping rooms in farm-houses are usually cold. Those who suffer from cold feet should not be deterred from making themselves comfortable through fear of being thought * old womanish.” If one cannot sleep on account of cold fest he should warm them. Bottles of hot water will answer, but are not as good as blocks of soap-stone. Blocks of hard wood that have no turpentine, if placed in the stove oven early in the evening, will be found excellent foot-warmers. In driving in the country in very cold weather, a foot-warmer of some kind will add greatly to the comfort of those mak- ing the journey. atl ict RUINS OF ASSOS. Some German papers gave an interest. ing account of the excavations which have been carried on at the site of Assos, one of the oldest cities of Asia Minor It is mentioned in the Sallier papyrus among the suxiliaries of the Hitlies, at Kadesh, on the Orontes, against Rhamses the Great, 1,400 years B. C. It was built on a steep hill, of volcanic origin, south of the Trojan plain, was well pro- tected by its position from hostile attacks, and seems to have been inhabited by a purely Greek population far down iuto our era. Why it was abandoned we know not. It cannot have been because of its destruction, for most of its. build. ings are still well preserved ; indeed, the best preserved specimens of profane Greek architecture are to be found here Even the burial places are in excellent preservation. One hundred and twenty. four sarcophagi were found in one row, all undisturbed ; some of them dated from the seventh century belore our era, and some belonged to the eleventh cen- tury before pur era, and some belonged to the eleventh oontury after Christ Fow objects of value were to be found in the tombs. All around the market place the buildings are in admirable condition, On one side is a pillared portico 110 metres long © on another is still to be seen the raised dais whenoe speakers harangued the public assembly ; on a third side is the Bouleuterion, or council chamber, a handsome building. On the fourth side are the baths, the only Greek specimen of the kind. They are in four stories, each of the lower two having twenty-six bathing chambers, divided by a corridor. The water came from a vast cistern ocon- structed under the market place. The upper story seems to have been trans formed into a Heroon, whero the ashes of renowned citizens were deposited, and ashes were found in some funeral urns there. All the buildings have been erooted out of the stone of the mountain, which resembles fine granite, and they show a regular architectural development, The exploration has been carried out under the superintendence of some American archeologists, ssn A Ap A MISDIRECTED MAIL MATTER, People in general have but a faint con- coption of the enormous amount of mis- directed mail matter which passes through the mails annually, In the Boston office last year there were 49,000 letters wrongly addressed, and in all these cases the the and yet the people wonder why their lot- ters are delayed, although it is owing to their own carelessness. Of course the officials are not responsible, but many people fail to see where the trouble lies. In further evidence of the want of care on the part of the pubiie, it is stated that the number of letters sent to the dead letter office during the last year was nearly 4,500,000, or an average of 14,600 per day. ‘These letters contained no lees than $40,000 in cash and checks to the amonnt of §1,500,000. —— ly WP R—— Queen Victoria's well-known objection to making poor men peers gave way in son is a clerk in a public office. wee Druggist Murray Ly grow= ing demand for McDonald's cel orm Powders, : wee Mugical students from ten coun- ties and state of Connecticut are now attending the 24th session of the Musical College, at Froeburgh, Pa, vnder the care and management of F.
