This is simply not so. Owing to an assault
upon the men by a rowdy boy, that belongs to
the class that insults every decent colored

Some of the Republicans, of the West Ward,
deserve sever censure, for cutting the Repub

political office 'in the contest and yet some,
who no doubt now and then ask the Republi

grounds, sacrifice a political advantage. We
have nothing but censure for this kind of thing
come from where it will. If men desire to act
with the Republicans and to profit by the party
they must stand by it in all party contests or
they can expect no favors in return. This is
our doctrine.
LITERARY NOTICES.—The Phrenologi
cal Journal for April, take it all in all, is one
of the best numbers yet issued of a magazine
that is justly distinguished for usefulness.
The table of contents is of a character to at
tract all classes of readers, although "sensa
tionalism" seems to claim no place therein.
The following subjects seem to us of more
special interest: Charles P. Kimball, the well
known Carriage-maker of Maine ; Inborn
Strength, an essay on the elements of human
advancement; Educating the Sexes Together;
The Foremost Problem ; From whence to No
Whither, or the Future• Considered; Aliment
iveness, its tee and Abuse, illustrated; Wild
er on Phrenology; Its Werth to Me, a Frank
Admission ; A Dream Not All a Dream ; A
Temperance Allegory; Tejuda, the President,
of Mexico ; The Civil Service and Its Tenden
cies The Cheerful Face; Thomas Guthrie,
D. D.; The Maple Tree; Origin of "April
Fool" ; East Tennessee and Its Resources, etc.,;
also an excellent list of recent publications.

S. R. WELLS, N. Y.
The important industries for which the city
of Wilmington, Delaware, is so justly distin •
guished, have been made the subject of the
initial article in Lippincott's Magazine for April.
The writer has evidently exerted himself to
obtain the most trustworthy information,
which he presents in a style remarkable . for
its clearness and easy flow. The article is
profusely illustrated. The second installment
of "The Roumi in Kabylia," with its vivid
descriptions of life and scenery, its striking
and amusing anecdotes, and its excellent pic
torial embellishments, constitutes a most en
tertainingpaper. “Thackeray's 'Gray Friars,"
by an old "Gown-boy," is fall of interesting
reminiscences of the old Charter-House school,
and of Thackeray's connection with it. The
article is evidently from the pen of one famil
iar with some of the beet and most curious
phases of English life. "Medical Expert Evi
dence," by H. C. Wood, Jr., M. D., is a contri
bution at once striking and important. Its
comments upon the difficulties which the law
carelessly throws in the way of the genuine
expert, and its animadversions against the
serious perils to which innocent persons are
therefore exposed, deserve a careful penult].
The author illustrates his assertions by fall
and pertinent references to trials, the memory
of which are still fresh in the public mind.
Mr. Edwin de Leon, in a paper entitled "The
Sweet Waters." describes the parks of Con
stantinople and the manners of those who
frequent them. "The Mystery of Massabielle,'
by William D. Wood, is a highly attractive
article, descriptive of the wonderful events
which have rendered the Giotto of tbe Virgin,
at Lourdes, an object of extraordinary and
world-wide interest. "A Night in Bedford,
Virginia, by Richard B. Elder, presents in a
terse and humorous way some important facts
concerning the real state and prospects of the
"Old Dominion." Mr. Black's serial novel,
"A Princess of Thule," continues to be the
leading attraction of Lippincott's Magazine in
the field of fiction. The other contributions
to this department appearing in the present
issue are the opening chapters of Mrs. Rebecca
Harding Davis's new story, "Berrytewn," and
"Mademoiselle Stylites," by Margarita Vande
grift. The poetry in this number is consider
bly above the general standard.' "The Gla
ciers of Paradise," by a new poet, Hjilmar
Bjarth Boyesen, will elicit notice. "Our
Monthly Gossip," as usual, is full of piquant
and engaging anecdotes and timely notes on
men and things.
The Aldine for April will be received with
enthusiasm and delight by every person of
taste who has a grain of appreciation for the
beautiful or a spark of pride in the progress
of American Art. Being the latest, it is, of
course, the finest of all the fine issues of all
this wonderful press, and in this constant im
provement may be noted the secret of the
great success which this American Art Jour.-
al has achieved, where, hitherto, so many
beginnings have invariably counted just so
many failures. The publishers demonstrate,
not only the amplest resources, but a deter
mination to use these resources to the utmost,
and this enlightened liberality in their busi
ne.ss can have only the one result—a hold
upon the popular faith that will be to them a
tower of strength for all time to come. The
second of the child sketches, byJolin S. Davis,
announced as the quarterly tinted plates for
this year, appears in this issue. It represents
a theft of a slice of bread and butter, by a
roving cur, from a younster who was seated
in the open doorway to enjoy the balmy morn
ing air. Thomas Moran presents five masterly
delineations of the Yellowstone Region, sue
of which, "Tower Creek," a full page cutting
by Lintons is a most superb specimen. The
"Death Warrant - of Mary Stuart" is a truely
royal subject, royalty treated; "A Catskill
Brook"' by Whittredge, will carry offthe palm
with very many ; a pool, surrounded by forest
trees, in which the beautiful white birch is
conspicuous; Such a spirited sketch as a "A
Bare Chance," by W. M. Cary, in which one of
our frontiersmen, on his gallant mustang, is
brought soddenly to close quarters with a
monstrous grizzly, deserves more than a pass
ing notice. There is a perfect gem of land
scape by Wimperis, the great rival of Birket
Foster. "A Deserted Church," "Spring Flow
ers," and “0 Pray my Child," an exquisite
genre picture of the German school. The
literary contents of the April Aldine display
the usual excellenne and variety. There are
for instance, three good short stories, "I Will
If You " by Clara P. Guernsey ; "The
Ball on the Ice." by E.B. Leonard ; and "Mad-
Jeannette's Papers," by James Watkins.—
There is a careful biographical and artistic
study of the life and works Of "Malbone, the
Miniature Painter," by Osmond Tiffany; a
readable paper, by the editor, descriptive of
The Yellowstone Region ;" another on The
Death Warrant of Mary Stuart; another oa
"An Old German Tribunal in the Bars Mount
tains," and, best of all, a racy little essay, by
John Sydney, which would have charmed
Lamb, since its theme is his prima favorite,
Margarite, Duchess of Newcastle." There are
five poems, "A Caul in Hafiz," by Henry
Richards, "The Four Seasons," by J. W. Duf
field ; "0 Pray, My Child," a translation from
the German of Hoffman ; "A Bare Chance," a
unique little dialect poem by S. Lang—a new
writer, who contests for the laurels of Bret
Bente and John Bay; and the "Rosemary,"
another tender flower-fantasy by Mary E.
Bradley, who has already won a prominent
place among American female poets. Sub
scription pries $5.00 including Chromes "Vil
lage Belle" and "Crossing the Moor." James

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The Model World.
The Model World will soon be here,
I think I see it coming ;
It's prophesied, from year to year,
And soon wil I come a running.
Get off the track you fogies all,
Yeur work will not be needed;
It's coming now, this Spring or Fall,
It's voice then, must be heeded.
But first of all, both young and old,
Must read and be converted ;
Then brought into the chtistian fold,
This fact, it is asserted.
The parents then must get so good,
So says the Model Preacher,
It must be always understood,
Then will come the Model Teacher.
In that good time, so soon to come,
The boys will not be frisky;
Nor will they hanker after rum,
Brandy, ale or whiskey.
That time is soming—rushing on,
It makes me feel so funny;
When fogies all are dead and gone,
And teachers get their money.
The boys will never use the weed,
So often called "Tobacky ;"
But will the teacher's rules then heed,
Won't that he nice, 0 cracky !
I often think I'm in that time,
Or mighty closely by it;
When pupils marohing up in line,
And everything is quiet.
The boys and girls will all be smart,
This fact is surely stated ;
In wisdom's way, they'll take a part,
As sure as they're created.
This Model World 'tis very clear,
Is mere imagination ;
It's getting real, year by year,
Steaming toward the station.
"Though my standard may seem too high,
It still is in the future ; "
But it is coming, by and by,
As time reveals the creature.
Yet do not think your work is done,
But onward persevering;
The boat will likely take you on,
And put you out to steering.
But speaking now without a doubt,
Will you announce a reason ;
Why boys and girls curl up their snout,
In madness—not so pleasing.
I think the fault, is plain to see,
It's in their early schooling;
Parents are not what they should be,
Hence, always keep them fooling.
Standing now. on Upatopy,
Up on Pisgah's lofty height;
Where pupils never do get mops,
And never quarrel and fight.
Drinking there from New Atlantics,
Fadeless draughts of useful iore,
Watching there the boyish prantics,
"In the bright forever more."
This Model World must be destroyed,
I bear the fogies grumble ;
Because it has them much annoyed,
They think it down must tumble.
To pay the tax it almost grinds,
Their conscience and their money ;
All such, are feeble in their minds,
Is why they act so funny.
We now will take a lengthy ride,
Across the plains to Denver;
And leave the boys to go and slide,
While there we feast in splendor.
I leave you now, right on the top
Of the Globe's lofty mountain;
And down you come on slide or hop,
To drink from rocky fountain.
A Big Steal in Poor House Matters.
MR. EDITOR :—I observe in the Globe of week
before last that John Logan pretends to give
facts, itt reference to , •Poor House Affairs,"
that cannot he contradicted. He says :
"I have always tried to be honest in the dis
charge of my duty."
Honest John I Will you let the public know
how it happens that, during war times and
high prices, when the Poor House paid 15 ets.
for pork, 12 cts. for beef, 60 cts. per yard for
unbleached muslin by the web, and for other
articles in proportion, with more paupers in
the House than was at any time during the
Past year, the expenditures were than less than
seven thousand dollars a year? Notwithstand
ing the reduced prices at present, with a less
number of paupers, the expenditures are in
creased now to near ten thousand dollars a
year! How is it, honest John, when you are
so economical, as you say, in your purchases,
and yet the expenses are three thousand dol
lars a year more than they were in war times,
when prices were so high and the paupers so
numerous? The Directors, ilk those days, had
less than fifty dollars a year charged for out
door services, now they are receiving nearly
two hundred dollars a year each for out-door
services,
in addition to their salaries. The
Steward now has also an item of fifty-eight
dollars a year for traveling expenses, in addi
tion to salary, and perquisites. This, I pre
sume, is in part for attending conventions and
meetings of committees, as you are always first
on the ground, and -perhaps for procuring the
names to petitions in the interest of the Poor
House and the Woods League.
_ . . _
That agigantic steal is beingpracticed upon
the tax-payers of the county there can be no
doubt. The figures show it. The Poor House
Reports plainly prove a swindle of greater
magnitude than that which was practiced upon
the people of Porter township by a certain R.
A. Laird, who, like his prototype Logan, was
on hand, atthe beck of Mr. Woods, at all con
ventions and committee meetings, and first
witness on the stand at the Cuss-Wharton tri
al, and who often traveled with the Woods
Constitution, swearing members into the"Peo
ples' League." See Benj. Isenberg, Esquire
Lytle, and others. Tax duplicates were pla
ced its his hands for the collection of bounty,
school, state, and county taxes. Through the
agency of Mr. Woods and other confederates,
the' duplicates were cominued in his hands for
a number of years in succession. Murmurs
became rife, and many were convinced that
the tax-gatherer was swindling the people.—
Forbearance at last ceased to be a virtue, and
some twenty-five of the tax-payers,Democrats
and Republicans, signed a bon, obligating
themselves to bear equally any costs that
might be incurred in bringing the criminal
to justice, and suit was instituted. Through
the counsel of Attorney Broin and the testi
mony of many witnesses, a verdict was obtain
ed before the Court, and Robert was mulcted
into some seventeen hundred dollars, fraudu
lently obtained and artfully concealed. Im
mediately after the decree of the Court Sheriff
Houck compelled him to disgorge the ill-gotten
pin. The Laird steal was effected by meths
of forged duplicates. He had one to eolledt
taxes by, and the other to settle with before
the Board of Auditors. Fraud and corruption
at the Poor House are more apparent than
they were in Porter township. Ex-Directors
John Flenner, Maj. Wm. Moore, and all others
who will examine the Reports of that House,
for the last several years, must know that a
huge steal is being perpetrated in the man
agement of "Poor House Affairs." PORTER.
The Plunderers—Stubborn Facts.
MR. EDITOR :—We desire to reply to a few
of the assertions of John Logan made in the
celebrated Globe letter. He says, in regard to
the way and manner of buying merchandise
for the use of said House, that "he was order
ed by the Directors to buy where he could buy
the cheapest." Well, we happen to know
something about this cheap arrangement. A
couple of years ago Kerr & Co. put in a writ
ten proposal offering to furnish meat to the
Institution at four cents per pound less than
David Douglass was furnishing meat at. The
Directors, or part of them, ordered the accept
ance of that proposal, bat it was not done, and
for three months afterwards the meat was re
ceived from Douglass, by Logan, and at the
old figures, though Mr. Smith protested against
Logan paying more to Douglass for meat than
other parties would furnish it for. Smith fi
nally told Logan that he (Logan) would have
to pay Douglass out of his own pocket if he
persisted iu it any longer. Notwithstanding
all this Logan continued to receive the meat
from Douglass until the winter supply of meat
was bought in.
The Directors say that they ordered Logan
to atop buying merchandise from Fraker, and
yet Logan boys there and says he "buys where
the Directors designate." Who can reconcile
this?' Who tells the truth, John Logan or the
Directors? Mr. Logan appears to make a great
hobby out of a pound or so of tea that was
bought at Leas' store, for which he was char
ged more for than the ether stores charged
him, yet too ignorant to know it was a better
article of tea.
As Mr. Loran has failed to make any satis
factory reply to our other letters, but under
takes to get astride another horse. we will pay
no further attention to his letter, but merely
say that he does deny remarkably well, and
will propound a few questions to him, his
amanuensis, or anybody else that desires to
bold up his sinking ship :
Before the last Report of the Alms Honse
was made public did net John P. Stewart em
phatically denounce it, and say that it was not
a fit document to go before the public? Why
did he denounce it ? Were the tracks of the
monster not well enough hidden? Who su
perintends the business of the Alms-House,
the Directors or W. H. Woods? Did not Jno.
P. Stewart, one of the Directors, sell said Poor
House a horse for $130.00? Wo beard one
man say that the horse was not worth over
$70.00. Was not Mr. Stewart aware that when
he sold the horse he was violating the law ?
You will find recorded in pamphlet laws 1850,
page 694, sec. 5, "That no Director shall sell
or dispose of any article to the Poor House
during the time he shall serve as Director
thereof," which law also provides a penalty.
Now, on the authority of one of the Directors,
we say John P. Stewart did sell the Poor
House a horse for $130.00 and lifted an order
in his own name for said horse. Is this the
honesty that the Steward speaks of? Will
Huntingdon county suffer this to pass by un
rebuked ? We will see.
We had intended to say something about
the outside pay and mileage of Directors, but
as the Legislature has cut that off we will let
it pass.
We understand that Logan has threatened
the writer of these articles with something
terrible (we presume it is some past record) if
he or they don't stop. Well, Mr. Logan, it
would be really too bad to quit now. Please
let us tell all we know. Theo the county at
large will know you as we know you. Then
we will stop, but for the present be kind
enough not to scare us. Tax PATLE.
Letter from Mill Creek.
Ma. EDITOR.—“To be or not be that's the
question," whether 'tis better to silently suf
fer the slings of the "Boss" of the Mt. Union
Times, or take up arms against this "who is
he" and restate the conduct of some of the
Mt. Union gentry at their great "what was it."
Mr. S., we don't scare worth a cent, if you
do raise your editorial cudgel over us and
threaten to strike ; bet please give us a little
time in which to say our prayers before you
bid us make our exit, and also itrform us where
you bury your dead as we have some scru
ples against being buried in Mt. Union.
We do not take up the pen to defend any
persons who may have been guilty of any
misconduct, either in your town or elsewhere.
We do not desire the unenviable position of
champion and month-piece for a set of rowdies,
and if any persons from Mill Creek conducted
themselves in an unbecoming manner while
in your town, it is to their shame and dis
grace and not ours. But there must have
been a good deal of "deg" about that dramatic
affair, else why all this howl. It is the dog
that is kicked that does the howling while the
cur that evades the threatened blow sneaks
away quietly.
We beg leave to restate that the persons
guilty of the vulgarity, profanity and indis
criminate kissing, to which we referred, were
not from Mill Creek, but were residents of Mt.
Milan and vicinity, and we can prove our as
sertien, by some of the most respectable peo
ple of Mt. Union, we therefore hurl the allega-
tion bask to its source and come to the inevit
abie conclusion, without any syllogistic rea
soning, that the stream that is muddy near its
source must either spring from a muddy
fountain, or else there must be some "clay"
in close proximity to it from which it derives
its murkiness.
If we are engaged in the honorable voca
tion,of teaching the "young ideas how to
shoot," we make it a point to instruct them
to aim at the mark they desire to hit, and sot
at another. We never allow any of our boys
to slap Bill when they want to hurt Jack.
Bat because Jack is a big, robust lad, ready
and willing to take his own part while Bill is
a diminutive good humored sort of a chap who
will take everything. A great many try to
pile Jack's burdens on Bill's shoulders ; and
when they get angry they want to slap Bill
just because they don't feel able to slap Jack,
and yet they must slap someboly.
If you have any threats to make and year
brain is over-loaded until you get them home,
send them home by all means and ease your
troubled soul.
Olt you were glad we sent our other com
munication to to the JOURNAL ' well we will
send this one there also, which will no doubt
gladden your heart a second time, if so we
feel amply repaid for our trouble. Sling your
ink. Yours, smilingly, KRINO.

Juniata Repels the Soft Impeachment•
Mn. EDIT011:-Why is it that the leader, of
the "League to cheat the People,' is Contin
ually stuffing his disgraceful sheet with mis
erable lies? in the issue of March sth that
popular (?) Professor and "talented editor"
attempts to prove that in the anti-Woods dis
tricts Speer gained since 1870, and in the
Woods districts he (Speer) lost since 1870.
As I looked over that truthless article of the
Globe, I found that that miserable editor has
Juniata district classed with the Woods dis
tricts. Now, any respectable person will cer
tify that the Reverend's statement is one of
the infamous lies with which he tries, from
week to week, to blindfold his readers. If
Juniata is a Woods district why did they not
send Woods delegates to the County Conven
tion ? Why did the good people of this dis
trict send delegates with instructions to op
pose that black-haired slanderer? If Juniata
is a Woods district, why did Billy Woods at
tempt to bribe one of her delegates on the day
of the Convention?
Reader, Juniata is not a Woods district; but
anti Woods. But we must admit that she is
polluted with members of the so-called "Peo
ples League." Bat the majority of her Re•
publicno voters are anti-Woods men, who
were careful last August, and will be careful
that no corrupt Leaguer represents her in the
Republican County Convention in the future.
Mr. Editor, if that Globe man, who has fallen
from the Holy Ministry to a low, political
blackguard, can't swallow the above, we will
help him, in the future, by givingyonr readers
a brief statementof how his followers conduct
ed themselves at our delegate election last
August.

A SOMNAMBULIST.—The few who were
favored, witnessed a queer scene Thursday
morning. When the Pacific Express east ar
rived at the depot, a little girl, probably 13
years old got out of a car, walked around the
train and went up Third street to the corner of
Hill, where she turned up Hill. When about
the middle of the block, she suddenly awoke,
looked around her and, apparently was unable
to tell where she was. home well disposed
person made inquiry of her as to where she
belonged and received the answer that her
father and she were in a sleeping car, and
that she had gotten up in her sleep at this
point with the result above stated. In the
meantime the train had moved off, bearing the
little one's sleeping parent with it. She was
taken to the depot, and W. 11. DeArmitt, Esq:,
telegraphed to Mifflin for the father to wait for
her at that point. W. S. Decker took charge
of the little one and soon landed her safely in
the arms of her father.—Monitor, 11th inst.

A NEW ERA IN JOURNALISM.
The Great flchievement of the Nineteenth
Century.
THE DAILY GRAPHIC.
ALL THE YEWS AND FULL OF PICTURES
The Daily Graphic is the title of a newspaper, published
in New York, which is achieving the most remarkable
journalistic success ever chronicled. It is an eight-page
evening paper (three editions daily), elegantly printed,
and conducted by the ablest editorial talent attainable.
Am a newspapi; r r
The Daily Graphic stands the first
rank, and contains regularly
The Very Latest and Fullest News from all parts
of the IVorld.
Its great feature consists in the fact that it is not only
a newspaper, but an integrated newspaper as well. Four
of its pages are tilled with choice reading matter—tele
grams, editorials, general and local news, items, gossip,
and correspondence on the freshest and most interesting
topics. Tho remaining four pages consist of
SPLENDID ILLUSTRATIONS,
executed in the most faultless and artistic sty le, and por
traying accumtely and fully all leading events within
twenty-four hours after their occurrence. Those who
have made journalism a study, and fully appreciate the
great enterprise nuenifestod in the collection and publi
cation of news by the aid of the telegraph, steam presses,
and the development of journalistic talent, have been fond
ofadvaucing the theory that the next advance in that
field would result in a newspaper furnishing in its regu
lar issues pictures of all current prominent events. That
theory is a theory no longer; the newspaper of the future
is the newspaper of to-day, and that is The Daily Graphic,
The processes which render this marvellous achievement
an existing fact are the result of the most careful study
soden endless variety of experiments, gradually perfected
daring the past twelve years. They depend upon im
provements in lithographic camera. By their aid a pic
ture is engraved and nests ready to print - in from twenty
minutes to two hours. Costly and elaborate plates, works
of art, scenes of interest, are produced and pictured forth
with equal facility and the most scrupulous fidelity. Il
lustrations of leading events are engraved for the press
even before the accompanying written narrative or des.
cri ption leaves the hands of the compositor.
For the proper practical working of so great an enter
prise, THE GRAPHIC COMPANY was formed with a
capital of $500,000 in gold, months and months before
the first issue of the The Doily Graphic, the most exten
sive preparations were made. and to-day THE GRAPHIC
COMPANY has
... 3,086
...101,322
... 67,254
34,068
The Largest and Most Complete Newspaper Es—
tablishments in the United States.
In the great work of illustrating the events of the slay
an extensivecorps of the best known mid most accom
plished artists are constantly engaged.
The Daily Graphic aims to be in Its strictest sense a
newspaper. Striving always to be just and truthful, it
dismisses all questions independently and impartially.
It is not the organ ninny party, sect, or creed. It is al
ways high-toned, and contains nothing to offend any
taste. Its contents give it an immense advantage over
the "old fashioned" papers. The annual subscriber gets
a Pictorial History of the Year, a volume of twenty.four
hundred pages, constituting a valuable record of events
and a graphic panorama of our time and progress. It
possesses not merely a local interest, but is a paper for
every reader of the language. It is, emphatically, the
paper for the Household.
Terms, $l2 per year, or $3 for three months.
