MR. BLAINE, in his Woodstock speech,
spiked the little gun pointed toward
Mexico to distract attention from some
very unpopular home policy. We suspect
h. was only a likely quaker after all.

THOMAS h. GREEVY, 7:SQ editor of the
Altoona G10b,,, has received the renio
cratio nomi—tion fur the office of City
- recorder of Altoona under a late act of
Assembly. Mr. Greevy is fully competent,
and will, if elec.ued, (of which there is but
little doubt., fill the office with credit to
himself and to entire satisfaction of
the community.
WE wer led t belie , .; that he Presi
dent's Southern policy is a more ex
peritcmt, and if it di.l not prove satisfac
tory to the sown 'y a' large, it would be
changed. S'nce the indictment of the
Louisiana Returning Board the President
will, no dnubt, east about him ~o see how
the old thing works and a change may
come over the spirit of his dreams. We
hope so.
BY the action of the Grand Jury, in New
Qrleans,in indicting the Returning Board,
the whole Presidential muddle is likely to
be opened up again. What the upshot
will be it is pretty hard to determine, but
there is one thing certain the President
will not find the Republican party as much
of a unit =n the next contest as he did in
the last one, and in this he will only have
himself to blame.
Wr read, with much pleasure, the ad
dress of Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, of
New 1 ork, delivered before the students
of the University of Mississippi located at
Oxford in that State. It is remarkable
fur its broad and comprehensive states aan
ehip It deals with things just as they
are found, and leaves no doubt in regard
to the duty of the young men addressed
It was well received and must bear good
fruit.
Two ruffians assailed Mr. J. M. Geist,
editor of the Lancaster New Era, one day
last week, with'cow hides, and maltreated
him outrageously for some matter that had
appeared in the local columns of his paper,
which ho, in all probability, nev2r saw.—
It is a great pity Mr. Geist did not seize
some ready weapon and lay out the black.
guards. If a few F eon ndrels, who seek
notoriety in this way, were converted into
hi, subjects for funerals it would not only
be a good thing for the undertakers but
for the editorial fraternity generally.
Tim N Y. Sun says Dr. R. I",t Pierce,
the greatest living medical advfirtiser, is
flatteringly mentioned as a candidate for
the office of Mayor of Buffalo, the Queen
City of the Lake. Let other advertisers
and other medical men imitate his example,
and we ,hall hope in time to record the
fact of similar distinctions conferred upon
them all. They cannot all be Mayor of
Buffalo, but each way become great in
his own locality, or, what is better, great
in the consciousness of a great deal of
wriney judiciously spent. We tender our
respectful compliments to Pr. Pierce. Lrt

Ws have not had an opportunity to
reid Judge Black's article on the Electoral
Commission, because it is very seldom
that the North American Review penetrate s
into a country editors sanctum, but if the
extracts, which are going the rounds of
the papers, are fair samples of it,we havn't
lost very much. There are few Demo
cratic papers in the country, that make
any pretentious to merit, that did not get
off better articles on the subject during
the protracted sittings of the Commission.
We expected something new and ponder
oas, but instead it is the hideous noise of
the awe old cracked and disfigured gong
Ir view of the fact that the Republican
State Convention does not meet until the
29th of August proximo, we would sug
gest that the chairman of the Republican
County Committee, of this county, call the
County Convention to meet on or about
the 20th of August. This would obviate
the necessity for a meeting of the County
Committee to select delegates to the State
Convention ,which has been made necessary,
heretofore, by the early meeting of that
body, but which matter can now be re
ferred to the County Convention itself, as
it should be. This would be about the
usual time of holding the County Con
vention, and i■ view of the fact that there
are only two offices to be filled at the ap
proaching election, the candidates should
save all the time given them that can be
exteaded, to enable them to visit every lo
eality and personally urge out every vote.
If this is not done the Republicans of Hun
tingdon county will net get out one half
of their votes.
THE people who were so willing to take
the Southern people's word of honor can

- - EDITOR
IT is amusing to sit down and read the
great columns of stuff thrown off by the
city press, upon the various political ques
tions which arise from day to day, and
which arc palmed off as the sentiments of
the people of the country, written by men
who round periods remarkably well and
give utterance to very pleasant sentences,
but all of which is as devoid of political
sagacity as the babblings of a flock of
geese. The city press is read for its news
not for its political leadership. It is a
lamentable fact that of the great host of
leading papers, with political proclivities,
scattered all over the country. there is
scarcely one that is followed implicitly as
a political leader. The country press has
superceded them.
THERE is much said in certain circles
in regard to what will be the result of the
election in Pennsylvania this fall, and it
is intimated that the Camerons are dig
posed to leave the State go by default.—
We do not believe a word of this, but we
have no hesitation in saying that neither
the Cameron•, nor any other set of men,
can carry the State or Pennsylvania, in
the present demoralized condition of the
Republican party, without aid from Wash
ington. If the administration wants the
Republican party to succeed in Pennsyl
vania it must hold out some inducements
for men to spend their time and their
money in behalf of the organization. If
Democrats and non-partizans and over
gorged Republicans are to receive the re
wards, then, we predict, that it will not
be the Republican banner that in triumph
will wave.
THE speeches of Chamberlain and Blaine,
at tiro Woodstock, Connecticut, celebration
have created much comment in political
circles. They plainly foreshadow trouble
iu the party—trouble that could as readily
have been avoided as not. speech of
Gov. Chamberlain is one of the ablest of
the ncriod and, unfortunately for tito Presi
dent, it presents the views of nine tenths
of the Republican party. It is the merest
bosh in the world to talk about the people
being with the President and that it is
only the politicians who arc opposing his
measures. The people make up their
political opinions from the views of their
accepted leaders—from the views of men
whom they know and trust. We are
sorry that the outlook is so unpropitious,
but there is no help for it. The President
and his immediate advisers have adopted
a series of measures which are unpopular
and they must take the responsibility. It
looks to us as if it would result in a clean
sweep for the Democracy, as far as can be
demonstrated, from Maine to California.
It may not be too late to call a halt, but
the cry must come soon and in thunder
tones.
THE Harriiburg Telegraph's clever
tribute to the country press, couched in
elegant words, and sincerely meant, should
be read by the sappy and frothy writers
of the ponderous city dailies, who take
every occasion to ignore and slight us.—
It says in conclusion
"Long may our rural exchanges live—the
hebdowidal vehicle of local news—the re
liable indicatois of, local politicals—the
reflectors of virtuous public sentiment, the
relators of disasters in farm yards, accidents
in field, hurricanes iu forest, maiming by
mowers and reapers—that inform us of
the yield of mines, of the wonders of the
henery—that waft us the odors of buds
and flowers, fruts and clover—and what
is heavier work, keeps a register of the
aspirants for office. A week, deprived of
such sources of ne%,s, is well calculated to
produce a famine in our sanctum. We
keenly feel the hunger which it created,
and short as the deprivation was, we now
long even more for our rural exchanges.
We can get along if the mail fails to bring
us the great dailies, as the telegraph and
correspondents supply their places. But
we cannot replace the rural exchange.—
That is unique. It is an object of infor
mation peculiar to itself'. There is no
substitute for that. Like the broken and
ruined vase, it has an odor of its own.—
We have learned to love and adore it; and
a general deprivation of these blessings in
disguise afflicts us sorely. Gentlemen,
with a fraternal regard that is sincere; we
bid you, hurry back again !"
Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia. Dyspepsia.
Dyspepsia is the most perplexing of all
human ailments. Its symptoms are almost
infinite in their variety, and the furlorn and
despondent victims of the disease often fancy
themselves the prey, in turn of every known
malady. This is due, in part to the close
sympathy which exists between the stomach
and the brain, and in part also to the fact that
any disturbances of the digestive function
necessarily disorders the liver, the bowels and
the nervous system, and effects, to some extent,
the quality of the blood.

cure. This is not a new preparation to be
tried and found wanting ; it has been prescrib
ed daily for many years in the practice of
eminent physicians with unparalleled success ;
it is not expected or intended to cure all the
diseases to which the human family is subject,
but is warranted to cure Dyspepsia in its most
obstinate form. Kunkel's Bitter Wine - of Iron
never fails to cure. Symptoms of Dyspepsia
are loss of appetite, wind and rising of the
food, dryness of the mouth, heartburn, disten
sion of the stomach and bowels, constipation,
headache, dizziness, sleeplessness and low

"The Conflk, of Ages."
Men differ on nearly every issue. They
have always been opposite parties in politics
and religion, though the measures fought over
one day may be universally adopted at another,
and those sacrificed regarded as heroes and
martyrs. Medicine has also been subject to
revolutionary disturbances. When Drs. Har r
vey and denner announced their discoveries,
they were held in contempt and ridicule: by
an incredulous and ignorant pithily, yet 'o
-day
they are received :►ud honored by all as bene
factors. When Dr. Pierce announced his
Discovery, many seemed to doubt, and were
skeptical concerning all medicines and doctors,
but proof of merit has dispelled all doubt, and
to-day the Golden Medical Discovery is the
standard remedy in curing the most obstinate
diseases of the liver and blood, having almost
entirely superseded the old-time sarsaparillas
by reason of its superior merits.

R. V. PIERCE, M. D. :
I was afflicted with a scrofulous affection on
one of my legs. It was very troublesome for
over two years, so much so that I could not
wear a boot, and I had to keep my leg band
aged. It resulted in a raw sore. It got so
bad that it became a general talk that I would
have to undergo amputation of the limb. One
physician told me he never saw such a sore
cured. I commenced taking your Golden
Medical Discovery together with your Pellets
as directsd•on the bottles, and when I had
consumed six bottles of Discovery, my leg was
entirely well, and has remained so ever since,
—a period of over two years,—aud I would
not swap it for fifty wooden legs.
Yours truly. JOHN SHATTUCK.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT
is going on vigorously. The old law, restricting
licenses to sell intoxicating drinks to those keep
ing inns, and defining inn-keepers to be those
persons keeping three beds for the accommodation
of the public, has been revived, and its perform
ance insisted upon. The big beer saloon under
the Tribune building put in three cots, to conform
to the law, and put them in the lowest cellar. A
temperance detective, thinking that such a concern
would not have the beds, and that an opening
would be had for a prosecution, went in last night
and demanded lodgings. "All right," said the
proprietor, "come dis way." And down through
long, winding cellars he took him, till, in a dark
vault, they came to three cots, of the hardest,
meanest description, and with rats coursing over
them. "You vill dake No. 2," said the proprietor;
"goot night." And he went away, leaving the
detective In a place from which no man unacquaint
ed with the premises could escape, without a guide.
In a doleful mood he passed the night, and in the
morning paid his dollar, thinking it cheap, as he
had the company of the rats. The league is
working vigorously and to the point. Wherever
they can catch a liquor dealer napping, they bring
him to book; and, as they have plenty of money
and the best legal talent in the city, they are
accomplishing something, The breaking up of
the rings has lessened the political power of the
gin mills, and the politicians are willing to see
them go to the wall. (Note for the benefit of all
kinds of respectable people.) Politicians are be
ginning to court the favor of decent people, be
cause the decent people kicked in the traces and
refused to follow them, unless they had at least as
mush attention paid to their wishes as to the do- i
manda of the rum sellers. Possibly what is being
done in New York may be profitably imitated else

The President is rece:ving aczesaions daily.
The office-holders who have walked the plank, and
those whose heads hangs lightly on their shoulders,
don't like him, but the people do. The Republi
cans who have tried to have decent men in Con
gress and in the Legislature, but who have been
overridden by the trained cohorts of the a:Worn
11,ase and Oa" "est-Office, - hose proprietors had
axes e. their to grind, .pro re; Aced that this
is at last over, and that hereafter the people will

of Ake heldt•rs made pulitie , a ba-ities?, and it
was no use for the 'citizen to undertake to eon,
pete with them. Let them turn out at a caucus as
freely as they might, the machine men had twice
the number there, men who were never known in
their wards, but who acted all the same; and as a
consequence the worst, instead of the best, turn
have represented the city. Hayes' order prohib
iting Federal Officials taking part in primary
politics gives groat satisfaction. It takes out of
the political field the elements that were danger
ous to the people, and will go a great way toward
purifying politics. It is a good thing. Of course
New York is opposed to the remonetizing of silver,
for the interests of a great commercial city are
always in the direction of keeping faith in the
spirit as.well as the letter. The production:of sil
ver has been so enormous as to lessen its value,
and New York insists that nothing shall he legal
tender that is not par the w.irld over. There will
be trouble in Otis city if any attempt is made to
have a doubled standard, for it would disarrange
values to a degree that would be disastrous.
Whatever may be the action of the people else
where, New York will be a unit against anything
but gold.
TIII7. JEWS
are still exclbed about the order cxciudiva them
from the summer hotels. Every Rabbi in the
city preached on the topic, and •to read the papers
Monday, one would suppose that all the bravery,
all the virtue, all the capacity, and all the good
qualities that have ever blessed humanity were
concentrated in the Jews. They may be excused
for slopping over somewhat, in view of the insult
that was put upon them, but without all this there
is touch to be said in their favor. There is an
enormous population of them in the city, probably
sixty thousand. They are the hoavtest bankers,
the heaviest merchants, and the best financiers in
the city. There are thousands of small retailers,
and thousands of rag-pickers and all that, among
them ; but there aro no Jew mendicants, and very
few Jew criminal. They take care of their poor
better than any other people on the globe ; they
are the most charitaie and the most enterprising.
Here the Jew has had a chance, and he has shown
himself to be great in mote ways than one. The
ghost of Stewart, who is known as Hilton, made a
grave mistake when ho insulted a race of such
wonderful capabilities, capacity and means. They
cut altogether too wide a swath to be lightly con
sidered or cavalierly used. The Jews of the coun
try have all withdrawn their trade from the Stew
art concern, and it makes a hole in their profits.
TIINEMENT EIOCSES
A building six stories high, in which over four
hundred people existed, commenced caving in at
eleven o'clock in the morning, and at four in the
afternoon it fell with a mighty crash, embracing
in its ruins all the worldly possessions of the peo
ple who inhabited it. Fortunately the cracking
walls gave timely warning of their intention to go
down, and no lives were lost. Had it happened
in the eight the loss of life would have been terri
ble. There are thousands of such buildings in the
city, the falling of which is a mere matter of time,
for the walls are as thin as they can possibly be
and stand, and everything so built as to make the
interest on the cost as large as possible. The
authorities have taken it in hand, and an inspec
tion is being made of the tenement houses. Quite
a number of them have been condemned, and the
tat:mats ordered to move out. The owners who
are reaping twenty-fi ee per cent. on his class of
structures are imlignar.t. They don't see why
they shouldn't have the privilege of building any
kind of a trap they choose, so that it pays them.
ABSOLUTE DULLNESS
pervades the city now. The hot weather brings
business to an en.l, and closes everything except
the gin-mills and su'h churches as are not able to
give their p tstors salaries. largo enough to enable
them to go to Europe or California. Such pastors
find it more in the line of their duty to stay and
preach the gospel during the hot months. It has
neon a disastrous year all around. The theatres
have all lost money, the business men who come
out even consider themselves lucky, the bars are
all short and everything is stagnant. It has been
a season of economy and cutting down, and the
spirit of retrenchment hay extended into places
where it would not be looked for. The missionary
societies have done little or nothing. the receipts
barely paying the heavy salaries of the officers.
Speak jug of
M sociEriEs,
one, a society for ailing weak churches, has just
published its report, and funny reading it is. It
has collected during the year SIS,OOO, and paid
out for rent, and salaries to its officers, $17,465,
leaving exactly Ci3s fur the aid of weak churches.
It does not state where that went to ; but the pres
ident, secretary and treasurer all had good salaries.
It is rather expensive getting money to weak
churches when it takes $32 to get $l.OO to the
church that needs it.
THE WEATHER
is terribly warm, and everybody who can raise
money enough is getting away to the mountains
or the sea-side. When these miles of brick walls
and stone pavements get heated, it stays hot, and
they are heated 110 W. It is fearful, and bids fair
to continue so. PIETRO.

Some distance below we come to Gads' hill, re

few years since. It is a wild and desolate place,
and well situated for the scene to be enacted. Du
ring the darkness of the night the robbers captur
ed the watchman, and forced him under the charge
of one of the number, who held a revolver to his
head, to signal the train to stop ; as soon as it
came to a stand still, a robber appeared at each
door of the passenger oars, and with leveled six
shooters, ordered all to remain quiet on pain of in
stant death, the order was literally obeyed, and,
while thus sitting covered by the revolvers, anoth
er party of the robbers, rifled the mail and express
cars, which being finished, they ordered the train
to move on, and then dashed into the woods.

we start due west for Sherman. The road runs
over half of the distance through the timber; here
we note the difference in the woods from those of
Missouri and Arkansa', while most of the latter ale
low, marshy, and matted with thh.k undergrowth,
these are dry, clear of brush and resemble a wet:
kept park, rather than a priweral forest—a ride
of 90 miles through these beautiful woods, brings
us to Paris, where wo stop for dinner.
From here to Sherman, a distance of 64 miles,
our road (a straight line) passes over the open
paraire, well settled and cultivated, and a beauti
ful sight it was. Here our conductor places camp
stools on platform of the rear car and invites us
to view the landscape at our ease; it was a courte
ous act toward a perfect stranger, nor did his kind
ness stop here, for by his thorough knowledge of
all around, and his conversational powers, our ride
was one of the most pleasant we ever remember.
Many thanks to Mr. Ed. G. Mower of the Texas
Pacific, than whom no more gentlemanly or cour
teous a conductor, ever mounted the Badge.
By 7 o'clock, we are landed on the platform at
Sherman, where we have the good fortune to meet
that genial spirit, E. B. Wilcox, contracting
agent of the Texas & Pacific Railway—we shall
ever remember his kind, and cordial reception, and
if he contracts for freight, for his road, with the
same ease that he does for the good will and es
teem of those whom he casually meets, there is no
wonder that he is selected for the position.
Half an hour pa , sea and we are on board the
Houston .4, Texas Central Road, bound due south,
and as the morning dawns are sit Bremond, here
an incident occurred which I must mention. Go
ing to a restaurant to get a cup of coffee, and find
ing no milk in the pitcher, I asked for it. There,
replied the Landlord, pointing to a tin can. I
looked in and saw some !hick white stuff, like
white paint; accidentally looking on the outside
of the can a table. "Condensed Mill;, prepared by
—.4— New York." Shade of Horace Urea
ly ! looking from the windows, you could see
thousands of cows roaming arcunil, and on the ta
ble before you, -Condensed Milk" prepared in
New York !
- - -
Again taking our seats in the cars, and trying
to figure out io oo • minds, the profits on an im
portation of milk-maids to this country; Ly nine
o'clock we reach Waco, the county-town of Mc-
Lennan county.
Here is nearly the geographical centre of Texas,
(at least so claimed) I close, purposing in toy next,
to give you what I saw, and my impressions.
