GEN. GRANT is coming. lie will leave
Yokohoma by the next Pacific mail steamer

The arrangements for an excursion of cit

completed with the leading trunk lines be.
tween the east and Omaha, and from there
over the roads of the Union and Central
Pacific companies. The programme of
arrangements is now being prepared, and
will be made public shortly. We expect
a number of our citizens will join the ex
cursion to welcome the next President to
his native land.
A WAVE of economy seems to have
engulphed the members of the Legislature,
on Monday night, when disposing of the
appropriation bills. The bill appropriating
$170,000 to the Norristown State Lunatic
Asylum was defeated. Instead of the
Normal Schools of the State getting the
$200,000 asked for, they are put off with
half that amount to run them for two
years. The Soldiers' Orphan Schools
shared no better fate. The $90,000
appropriated to pay the quarterly expenses
of these schools was cut down to $BO,OOO.
The geological survey appropriation of
$lOO,OOO was reduced to $50,000. By
these curtailments the appropriations have
been reduced $350,000 for two years.
AN HONEST CONFESSION.
The people of this town and county
know why and by whom the bill appro.
priating $200,000 far the Middle Peniten
tiary was killed, and in order- that there
may be no doubt of the cause of its defeat
we publish the following from the Bedford
Gazette, one of the leading Democratic
papers in the State, and whose editor was
in Harrisburg on the day that the bill
came up in the House:
An appropriation of $600,000 was ask
ed in the early part of the session fur the
construction of this building but the mat
ter met with so much opposition on second
reading that the amount was reduced to
$200,000. To day the- bill came up on
final passage and in anticipation of this a
car load of Huntingdon's distinguished
citizens put in an appearance last night.
Lobbying was at once entered upon and
the members hunted down and bored until
the vote was reached. The roll call show
ed but 61 votes in favor of the appropri
ation to 81 against it. The Democrats
voted almost solidly against this bill, first
because it is believed by nearly every one
to be a useless expenditure of the public
money, there being no necessity for such
a building at this time, second because
the Treasury is virtually bankrupt and no
prospect of this Legislature providing ad
ditional revenues, and lastly but not least,
because the whole matter was conceived
for the purpose of electing Ex-Senator,
now Congressman Fisher, to Congress.
The object of the bill having been accom
plished at a cost to the State of about
$lOO,OOO, there seems to be no use in wast
ing $200,000 more to secure his re-elec
tion in 1880. Good judges estimate the
ultimate cost of this building if continued
at $1,500,000 and this is looked upon as
a very large expenditure for a wholly use
less purpose. Already arrangements have
been made by which 1300 additional cells
will be furnished at the Western Peniten
tiary and this will be done at a trifling
cost to the State whether the Huntingdon
Penitentiary is built or not.
DEATH OF WILLIAM LLOYD GAR-
Editor
After a long illness William Lloyd Gar
risen breathed his last at five minutes past
11 o'clock, Saturday night, at the West
moreland Hotel, in New York city, in the
74th year of his age, surrounded by his
four sons, his daughter, and three warm
personal friends.
Mr. Garrison was born at Newburyport,
Mass., in 1805, and had as unpropitious a
start in life as some of the waifs of larger
cities. his father, Abijah Garrison, was
master of a vessel engagel in the West
India trade and a man of some literary
ability and taste; but he became intem
perate, and went away from his family
while his children were young, and never
returned. The mother, left in utter pov
erty, became a professional nurse, and in
1814,went to Lynn, taking young William
with her, and placed him with Gamaliel
Oliver, a Quaker, to learn the trade of a
shoemaker. He was extremely small for
his age, and his knees trembled under the
weight of a lapstone. His mother, finding
that the business did not suit him, sent
him back to Newburyport at the end of
three or four months, where be was cow
mated to the care of Deacon Ezekiel Bart
lett. To save his mother the cost of board
he helped the deacon when out of school
in his occupation as a wood sawyer, going
with him from house to house.
At school he was taught reading, wri
ting and a smattering of grammar, and this
was the education with which he entered
the world. In 1815 he went with his
mother to Baltimore, where he remained
a year in the capacity of chore boy. Then
he returned to Newburyport. In 1818
he was apprenticed to Moses Short, a cab
inetmaker, in Haverhill, but, as he strongly
disliked the trade, he persuaded Mr. Short
to release him. In October of the same
year, he was indentured to Ephriam W.
Allen, editor of the Newburyport Herald,
to learn printing. Here he met something
to his tastes. Ife not only learned to set
type, but he began, when only sixteen or
seventeen years old, to write, under an in
coE,rnito,artieles which his employer printed,
and at length eagerly sought and praised
It was a long time before Mr. Allen learned
that the correspondent whose communica
tions were so welcome was his own ap.
prentice, who often had the satisfaction of
putting his own articles into type, and
once received through the postoffice a letter
of thanks from his master, with a request
that he would continue to write. He soon
commenced writing for other papers, in
cluding the Haverhill Gazette, the Salem
Gazette and the Boston Contmercial Ga
zette, which received his contributions with
favor. Robert Walsh. at that time editor
of the Philadelphia _National Gazette, at
tributed a series of Garrison's articles,
signed "Aristides," to the venerable Tim
othy Pickering, and this was one of many
signs of commendation which approved his
adoption of an editorial career.
In 1826, his apprenticeship at the Her
ald office being closed (and baying edited
the paper during a protracted absence of
the owner), be became the proprietor and
editor of the Free Press in his native town.
He was then twenty-one years of age. As
an editor be was next connected with the
National Philanthropist, a temperance
paper, published in Boston ; then with the
Journal of the Times, at Bennington, Vt. ;
then with the Genius of Universal Entan
eipation, at Baltimore, and finally with the
Liberator, which he established in Boston,
January 1, 1831, and of which he held
control during the thirty-five years of its
existence.
Of all the pioneers of .the anti-slavery
agitation William Lloyd Garrison was the
most aggressive an uncompromising. To
the destruction of human slavery he de
voted the best years of his life, attacking
it at a time when its supports were most
powerful, and defying persecution with a
constancy that was storm proof. In his
own word., he stood "like the oak, like
the Alps—unshaken. Opposition and
abuse and slander and prejudice and judi
cial tyranny," said he, "add to the flame
of my zeal. lam not discouraged ; lam
not dismayed; hut bolder and more confi
dent than ever." He was not, however,
as is generally supposed, the first con
spicuous man who enlisted in the anti
slavery movement after the Missouri strug
gle, where freedom lost, and slavery won.
The devoted, effective and prominent
worker who preceded him was Benjamin
Lundy, a native of New Jersey. of Quaker
origin, whose labors from 1815 to 1830
were immense, involving great personal
hardship and sacrifice, and placing him far
in advance of all cotemporaneous or earlier
abolitionists. Of him Garrison said in
after years. "If I have in any way, how
ever humble, done anything toward call
ing attention to slavery or bringing about
the glorious prospect of a complete jubilee
in our country at-no distant day, I feel that
I oRe it, instrumentally and under God,
to Benjamin Lundy."
IT Is rumored from Washington that
Secretary of War McCrary will retire from
the cabinet to accept the position of Cir
cuit Judge for the Eighth District, to be
made vacant by the resignation of Judge
Dillen, but that he will not leave the cab
inet before the first of September.
FROM THE HUB.—There is perhaps no
tonic offered to the people that possesses as
much real intrinsic value as the flop Bitters.
Just at this season of the year, when the
stomach needs an appetizer, or the blood
needs purifying, the cheapest and best remedy
is Hop Bitters. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, don't wait until you
are prostrated by a disease that may take
months for you to ii€cover in.—. Boston Globe.

A Dangerous Torpor.
Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is seri
ously dangerous to those organs, since it is
the precedent of diseases which destroy their
substance and endanger life. This sluggish
ness may be overcome by stimulating them,
nut excessively, but moderately, an effect
produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
general invigoraut and alterative, possessing
diuretic properties of no common order. The
impetus which this admirable medicine gives
to their evacuative function counteracts any
tendency to congestion which may exist in
their tissues. Both they and their associate
organ, the bladder, are invigorated as well as
gently stimulated by the Bitters, which exerts
a kindred influence upon the stomach, liver
and bowels, and by strengthening the system,
enables it to withstand malarial epidemics, to
which when exposed it might otherwise
succumb. [may2-Im.
The fashion of coloring butter is so
universally approved, that dairyman naturally
prefer a color which is reliable, uniform in
action, harmless in all respects and free from
odor or flavor. Such is the Perfected Butter
Color of Wells, Richardson & Co., which is
the most desirable article of the kind known.

EASILY VERIFIED BY EXAMINATION which we Very Respectft* um=
I—We have the largest establishment for the manufacture and Pale of Clothing in Philadelphia, ex
tending through from 518 and 520 Market street to 511 and 513 Minor street, and occupied
2—Our buildings having been constructed and arranged for the business to which they are entirely
devoted, unites all the conveniences and appliances which have been found necessary or desirable+
3—We have an ample cash capital, enabling us to make all purchases for cash, and giving us a se
le,,tion, at the most favorable prices, from the markets of the entire world. Ix THIS PARTICULAR
WE HAVE ADVANTAGES SHARED BY BUT PEW 9THER HOUSES IN THE TRADE. This fact is well
koonna to the public.
4- 2 -We sell goods for cash only, which, though it restricts our business to those prepared to purchase
in that way, enab es us to give.them advantages such as no house doing a different business can.
5—A business experience of over a quarter of a century has informed us fully of the wants of the pub
lic, and of the best way to meet them. We have introduced such improvements as have from time
to time been found necessary, nearly all of which were originated by oar predecessors in business
(Messrs. Bennett Co.) and many of them adopted by other houses in our business, so that long
published accounts of "Systems of Doing Business" need not convey to the public an idea of any
thing new or peculiar, as the whole of such accounts are an almost verbatim description of meth
ods which were mostly originated in this establishment, and have been in use in it for years.
6—We employ the best and most experienced cutters and workmen in making up our goods—the
style, fit, and make of which are unsurpassed.
7—All persons, whatever may be their physical peculiarities (unless deformed,) can be accurately
fitted at once from our stock, in most cases better than by goods made to order, and at prices 25
to it per cent. lower.
B—Our business is larg e and constantly increasing, enabling us to keep the largest, boat assorted, and
most complete stuck of Men's, Youths', Boys', and Children's Clothing in Philadelphia, to which
large daily additions are made of fresh goods, replacing those sold.
9—For reasons already enumerated, we can and do sell at prices guaranteed in all eases lower than the
lowest elsewhere, or the sale canceled and money refunded.
10—All goods when offered for sale are represented to be exactly what they are.
11—When buyers are for any reason dissatisfied with a purchase made, if reported within a reasona
ble time, we pledge ourselves, by exchange, refunding of money, or otherwise, to give full satis
faction in every ease, and request that all such may be reported to us for adjustment.
12—All prices marked plainly on each garment.
13—To those unable to come to Philadelphia, we will send samples for any kind of garment with
prices and plain instructions for self-measurement.
