DAVID RHOADS. W. B. MULLIN, EsQ., H. L. BURKHOLDER, JOHN DUNBAR, J. M. WEAKLEY, Esq., JACOB RITNEU, thewide river bottoms—white,cream col ored, pink, yellow, and red building stone, wholly iiiexhaustable, lying hori zontal, requiring no other quarrying than the use of a crow-bar to lift it in blocks out of position—stone as wonderful in its adaption for immediate architectural use as it is admirable for its beauty. In the quarry it is soft, in the sense that it Is easily worked. I have seen it hewn to shape with the common wood-ax —have seen it morticed with a carpenter's chisel as quickly as ts pine beam could be mor ticeffT-ffave seen it planned with a jack plane, sawed with g sprqlhsaw into brack ets aud ornamental door and window caps. and’eut wltba“ buzn” sawl nto yard square blocks for sidewalks and into bricks of required size. This material, so easily worked, hardens on exposure to the air, and becomes as impenetrable as Tennessee marble. It is identically the Caen stone of France . Travelers who have seen the beautiful effect which that material gives io Napolpon'p new archi tecture In Paris can apprec:ate the quiff i •ties of this rook vjhloh underlies Ihc whole of the high praiHc land of Kansas, and which will make Kansas a State of stone bouses cheaper than can be built any where else in the world, and painted while yet In the quary with the four most popular colors. Morn yet. Tho lifting of the vail with which ffrsti Border Ruffianism, and then the hostile Indians, bgve for twelve years covered Kansas and hidden from view her marvelous endowment of beauty and wealth, reveals to us now that a part of her lavish heritage Is Bltuminious Coal. Kansas can afford to wait for, timber to succeed the buflblo, and the annual grass burning of the Cheynnes and the Arra-' paboes. Thereisabundantcoal near Fort Wallace, and surveyors' aud the scouts, and tralo-inasters, familiar with every mile square of the plains, report it in workable veins near Harker and Hayes. The “Coal Question,” tho vital one in transcontinental railroad engineering, has been solved for this line of Pacific* Railway. West of Kansas the company's surveyed route strikes sixteen feet of bituminous fuel of tho best quality. The Engineers report the deposit to be suffi cient not only for tho uses of the road for ever, but for Colorado and Arizona as well as for all Kansas. But independent of this supply; Kansas can, from her own resources, furnish herself witli coal on herparirles for domestic and manufactur ing purposes. And it is timely here to CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1867, say that domestic life in Kansas, and manufacturing and farming industry, maintain in an atmosphere where con sumption as an indigenous disease is un known, and in which the delicate or dis eased lungs of settlers from the Fast are braced to health and new leases of life are taken on tho cheap condition of mere res piration. Whata superb country, and what a tru ly national enterprise is this that trav erses it! And yet aeo how it has to light every mil© of its progress to the Pacillc, and how it crawls across the continent when the guardian hand of the nation should push it with military speed. See theso muskets and carbines on the grass, and these belted revolvers. See these graves filled by the victims of a savage and murderous opposition to the con struction of this beneficent and needed highway. I said to Mr. B. M. Shoema ker, tho head of the great railroad-build ing firm of Shoemaker & Co.: “ Sir, you have a double and discouraging work to do. ‘While you construct this lino under extraordinary difficulties, it seems to mo that you aro also required to carry on an Indian war. I never hoard of a contractor who had such a load put upon bim.”^ “ Yes, I have to fight while I dig. I wish the .Government would discharge its duty to this enterprlse-r-do tho fight ing and leave mo to do tho digging. The work on this road certainly should bo protected from warlike interruption, for in a large sense it is a natioual cutcrpriso. Infantry in sufficient force should guard my men at their labor. Cavalry should scour tho country on both sides of the line as it progresses. The road, as fastos completed and operated, perhaps can take care of itself. I consider that it settles the Indian question as it goes. You can see from this dally record which is kept by one of my clerks what sort of a work it Is to build 250 miles of Pacific Railway across the Plains, and you can also see tho necessity of hearty governmental co operation with the work.” I turned over the leaves of this log-, book, kept on tho sea of grass, and culled from it the following entries: March I.—Cold, rainy day.

QUEEN VICTORIA ANI> MR. BROWN. London is tho centre of England. The Queen is the centre of London. Her pres ence is the light of tho aristocracy—her absence their sorrow. Her going out and coming in—her down sitting and upris ing—when and where she walks or rides— how she dresses—to whom she speaks— who attends hor—are carefully noted and greedily read. After thirty years of a model domestic life, with , her domestic fame traveling round the globe, and her self the idol of tho British public, an American is astonished to find the Lon don atmosphere full of scandal; tho name of the highest lady in the land connected with ono of her lowest subjects; the name of the “Queen and Mr. ’Brown” on the lips of all classes, from the rag-picker in the streets to the peer in tho realm. The Queen is seldom seen in London. She flits back and forth from Windsor Castle only to meet the duties of. Btato. Site sel dom sleeps at Buckingham Palace, her own town residence. She likes the re treat at Windsor, and lives near the room W’horo the Prince Consort breathed his last. Thesolitude of the Isle of Wight is a favorite with her, forshocau ride twenty iniles iu her own dominion without being seen. Among the Highlands at Balmo ral she lays off* tho Queen and plays the woman. Driving around in alow wheel ed carriage to which is attached a runt of a pony, she visits tho sick, tho infirm, and the poor. Her carriage is loaded with comforts which she distributes with her own hand. Her coining to any house Is a benediction. All this the Londoners dislike. They pay for the pomp and the show of royalty, and they want it. They give the Queen five thousand dollars a day in gold. They furnish tho palace, her state carriages and her hundred hor ses, the plate for royal banquets, and also pay for tho entertainment of all royal -guests. Her refusal to join in tho gayest of life—the closing of the palaces and her refusal to play the Queen deeply offend •the Londoners. It harms trade, they say, and the sufferings of the poor for tho want of employment are laid at the Queen’s door. Her ministers have plead ed with her to meet the public demand. Punch has lampooned her with his most effective saracasm. A less worthy retire ment is uow.attributed to the Queen than grief for.the Prince Consort. In print and in speech she is accused of being in love with Mr. Brown. It is openly said that she has transferred her affections for the Prince Consort to this gentleman. WHO IS MR. BROWN ? Mr. Brown is the Queen’s confidential servant. Her majesty found him at Bal moral. On a visit to that castle she be came a widow, she found a servant silent, end and obsequious, very Attentive, very efficient, a man who seldom spoke a word. On inquiry she .found that the man had been u servant long in the employ of Prince Albert. He enjoyed the confi dence of the Prince. His mourning for his late master was the talk of the castle. The Queen took him at oiico into her em ploy, and it is said into her affection. Be ing a Highlander, lie came into the pres ence of Her Majesty in full custome.’that is, with bare lege, to the great scandal of the full dressed lackeys of tho palace.— From stop to step Brown went up till he has become the prime minister of tho Queen's household. All her orders go through him. His body-guard are High landers also, and the old feud between the Scotch and the English is revived in the Queen's presence. AH sorts of stories were started and are still in circulation. Atone tlmeitwas reported thatsho would marry Drown if she had to abdicate. Tho Queen Is known to be a spiritualist, upon whiefi it lg said thatsho hqllcvosj the spir it df Rr|noe Albert to tie lij this man. All Eossible influence have been brought to ear to .remove him from the Queen’s service. Bho is well aware of tho scandal connecting her name with Brown’s, but she will not yield one jot. To the impas sioned expostulation of her ministers she refilled by an imperious wave of her hand, which Induced the ministers to buck out audjdepart. , , HOW BROWN LOOKS. Wherever you find the Queen there you will find Brown. He is a shrewd Scotch man, who knows that there is no power behind tfie t-broqq thftt cqn toqtoh him. Pfe is q coarse, ponpqoq-lQQklng sort of q follow with irqn-gcqy hair. Ho is about yifty years of age, nervous and wiry, with ?[uitc a stoop in his gait; coarse, hard cnturcs, wich make him look like a col lier or ditcher dressd up, and quite un comfortable In his nice clothes. Ho is about as unattractive-looking a person as any day-laborer about our warves. Ho is nervous, buisy, meddlesome, but ho at tends strictly to his duties. He seen* to know nothing, and cprtqinly spends to oaro nothing for tho detestation in whio|i ho is held by the servants of the Queen, and the nation at large. THE QUEEN AND BROWN ON CANVAS; The opening of the Royal Academy at London for tho season is a great event.— The aristocracy attend the opening. An extra charge is made the first day, and all London goes because there is a jam. At tho opening in May lost a genuine sensa tion was produced. One picture oxoitpd the attention of nil visitors. Crowds hung around it through the whole day. This picture occupied one side of an appartmont. It was called the “ Widowed Queen.” It was a superb life-size likeness of Victoria. The scene is laid at Osborne. She is represented in a close-fitting habit, and robed wholly in black, as usual, her widow's cap being hidden under her bat. She is mounted onan elegant black horse, ami is repre sented qs reading q desnqtcl}, while q let ier fallen frQmhecnqnd’iios on tljoground. In 'the foreground, at tho head of her horse, Stands tho noted Brown, as com plete a likeness as was over drawn of mortal man, He is represented in his Highland costumo. He was put in tho pominont position he occupies, it is said, by. order of the Queen. X was present when the Academy was opened and this picture' first exhibited. The room in which it hangs was crowded with the nobility and tho elite of London. It was known thatagrand likenessof tbeQueon • was to bo the leading feature of the Exhi bition. All were on tip-too to behold this great work of art. But no ono knew that Mr. Brown was to be exhibited also. . When the curtain was rolled up there was an insensible bowl of indignation. Some ladies actually covered their, faces. “It’s Brown! it’s Brown! wbatashame!” was heard all round. Threats were made to cut Brown’s head out of tho canvas, and it will bo done if the people have a chance. Crowds surrounded the picture all tho time, as people will look at a dis agreeable object, and this picture is high ly offensive to the Queen’s subjects. THE REAL FACTS ABOUT MR. BROWN. The Queen can have no society. No subject can speak to her without her per mission. She Is as Isolated as the statue of Nelson on the top of tho column at Trafalgar Square. On the death of the Prince who had done all the business of the State, she found herself alone with tho kingdom and an* immense household to take care of. She could get nothing done. Her orders had to run through a dozen or twenty hands. The royal ser vants have a routine out of which they will not go even for tho Queen. It takes about twenty to do one’s man’s work,— The servant who opens ono door will not open the next. The one who brings a pitcher of water will not fill the glass.— The Queen found in Brown a prompt, able and attentive .servant. She gave him full charge of her domestic arrange ments. If sho wishes to rido or walk, have a carriage or have a railroad train, her orders go through Brown.. He is at tentive and obsequious, but is an excel lent busines man.. One of the Queen’s characteristics is promptness. She ex acts this of her servants, and Brown meets this exactly. Ho attends the Qneon in all her journeys. He presides over that portion of Windsor Castle ap propriated as tho Queen’s residence. In to it none Of tho royal servants enter without his permission. He has more in fluence over the Queen than any living man in the Kingdom, and he will hold his position ns long as tho Queen holds hers. But he Is thoroughly detested by all the household. Littlo ho cares for that. BROWN AT THE RAILWAY STATION. The coming and going of the Queen from Windsor is heralded .in tho court papers. AH London goes to see the arri val or departure. Sho has a special train to herself. A right royal train it is. It consists of three coaches, an engine ele gantly adorned, and a pilot engine runs .before. Nothing is ullewcd on the track while the royal train is running in or out. Twenty minutes before the train leaves Loudon nothing is allowed to start from Windsor. Nothing leaves London till the signal is given that the Queen has reached the royal station at hor castle.— It costs the Queen $5OO for the round trip, which she pays out of her own pocket, every time the train runs from Windsor to London and back. Over this train Mr. Brown exercises supreme control.— In the presence of hundreds of people who gather in and about the station to witness tho royal sight, Brown enters the middle coach to be occupied by his royal mistress, and examines everything, to see if it is all right. Ho stands on the crimson carpet stretching from the outer door to tho Queen’s coach. He looks steadily into tho eyes of the crowd, who are kept back by the railing and by tho police, and does so with the look of a servant of the lower class, yet with as shrewd and “canny” a look as any Scotchman who ever crossed tho border. His quick ear catches the sound of the advancing cortege. The Queen’s train starts at half after five. It is twenty seven minutes after five and Her Majesty has not appeared. Said tho officer who stood beside mo on the crimson carpet, in answer to my question, “Is not the Queen late?” “Doycusee that clock? It is now twonty-nino minutes past five. In half a minute those doors will open, the Queen will enter, take her seat, the whistle will sound and tho train bo in motion half a minute after precisely.”— Sure enough, at tho exact moment men tioned the doors were thrown open and tho Queen, headed by Brown, entered, — A short, thick-set, Germun-looking wo man she was. dressed wholly in black, followed by ner younger children and the ladies of her household. Sho walked with a sharp, imperious tread, looking neither to tho rightnor to the left. Brown handed her into the coach. The doors went to with a slam. Brown gave the signal and disappeared in one of the apartments. The train moved on the ex act minute, amid faint cheers to the Queen,and loudexecratloiHon “ Brown.” TJic Foimtln uv TonJJi, A .MOVIN' T ALE—WAKU ANTED ITUKI.Y VEGETAIILE, AND NONE GENUINE UNLESS SIGNED DYTJIEIMIO^ eunrrou.

SL-m 22, Tim Wortli of Knowlctlec. y Could young men generally be eel to bolievo that “ knowledge is power,” ami he who possesses it has withm him self all the elements of enjoyment and success in life, there would be a closer husbanding of leisure hours, fewer eve nings spent in lounging upon corners, and fewer dimes and dollars expended for cigars, lager beer, and tobacco, ami other costly ami hurtful indulgences. It were folly to assert that such ability as. was possessed by Shakespeare, Scott, Ma cauly, Noah Webster, Agassiz, or other illustrous poets, novelties, historians, lexicographers or naturalists, Is within the reach of all men ; but it is sound phil osophy to assume that every young man who will, may so store his mind with useful knowledge as to fit him for pleas ant and profitable association with intel ligent men. The evening hours wbicli the majority of our young men fritter away in idle lounging and unprofitable conversation and association, if properly spent wouldgivo them a moral inUucncein society, and improve their chances of suc cess in life.toa degree that can scarcely be over-estimated. How small an amount of money Is sufficient to secure to those who desire to cultivate a taste for mental Information all the needed facilities? — Think of it young men! the fifth of the cost of that bad cigar you smoke, or of the glass of lager you drink every evening, will secure to you for that evening the pe rusal at homo of some Interesting and valuable book. Surely the thrusting aside of such golden opportunities is little less than criminal, when it is remember ed that their improvement would not only proveaaoureb of lifetime enjoyment, but in almost every pursuit of life a pow erful adjunct to success. Ho is but half fulfilling the purposes of his creation who, having within ready reach the means of improvement, fails to employ them. He is but half a man who, with books and newspapers at command, con tents himself with ignorance and mere sensual enjoyments. An upright, skill ful mechanic is to be commended always; but when to his skill ho adds a compre hensive and cultivatedintellcct, he stands before the world one of nature’s noble men, Neither wealth, rank, nor power can enchauce the lusturo of his character. Why have wo not*thousands such? — Viewed In a more utilitariu light, how superior are the advantages of such a man !. How much more readily will ho find profitable employment; how better fitted for the discharge of duty, whore he combines Intelligence with skill! The well informed mind directs the masterly hand, and his labor, instead of wearying drudgery, becomes pleasant recreatlou Sjqiiownll JacUflon’s First Public Prnyor. When General “ Stonewall” Jackson first united with the Presbyterian church in Lexington, he became at once very regular in attendance upon the services of God’s house and the performance of external religious duties, but for a long time he did not take any public pari in church matters. At last his pastor (the venerable Dr. White), preached a ser mon on prayer in which ho urged that it was the duty of every male member of Hie church to lead in public prayer. .The nextday a faithful "elder” (since called to his reward) asked " Major’** Jackson what ho thought of the sermon. Ho promptly replied that he did not believe that it was his duty to lead in public prayer—that he was satisfied that he could not pray " to edification,” and it was useless for him to attempt, It.— “ Have you made the matter a subject of secret prayer, Major, that God might di rect you to proper decision ?” persisted the elder. "No air, I have not, but will do so to-night, was the characteristic re sponse. The elder advised him to talk the matter over with Dr. White, ami he started at once for the pastor’s study, when ho had a long conference on the subject—taking full note of what the pas tor had to say. The next day the elder saw him walk ing rapidly by his place ot business, without stopping, as was bis custom, and fearing that he desired avoid the sub ject of the previous (fay’s conversation, he called him back and asked if he had prayed over that matter. “ Yea air, and I was just on my way to tell Dr. White that he must call on me to lead in prayer at the prayer meeting to-night.” Meet ing his pastor on the street, he walked out in the mild to tell him that he was satisfied that he ought to lead in prayer, and wanted to bo called on. In due time this was done, and the Major made a bungling, lame ettort, which made the pastor and all present feel very badly for him. A lew days after, Dr. While said to him: "We do not want to make our prayer meetings uncomfortable to you, Major, and if ypu prefer it I will not call on you to lead in prayer again.” The re ply contains the key-note to Jackson's character: "My comfort sir, has noth ing in the world to do with it. As my pastor, you think I ought to lead in pray er, and the word of God seems to bear you out in it. I must not shrink from duty, because it is unpleasant. Call on me, sir, just os often as you please, and the ofteuer the better.” He persevered until ho became exceedingly gifted iu public prayer. I.OKD ELUOX. Tho chancellor was flitting j« his study over a table of papers, when a young and lovely girl—slightly rustic in her attire, slightly embarrassed by tho novelty of her position, but thoroughly in command of hpr'vnts—cntsrpd the room and walk ed up to tho lawyer’s chair. “ My dear,” said the chancellor, rising and bowing with old world courtesy, “ who are yon ?” “ Lord Eldon,” answered the blushing maiden, “I am Bessie Bridge, of Weo bly, the daughter of the Vicar of Wcobly, and papa has sent me to remind you of a promise which you made him when I was a little baby, and you were a guest in his house on the occasion of your first election as member of Parliament for Weob]y.” “ A promise, my dear young lady ?” In terposed the chancellor, trying to recall how he had pledged himself. “Yes, Lord Eldon, a promise. V°u wore standing over my cradle when papa said to 3’ou : Mr. Scott, promise mo that, if ever you are.loVd chancellor, when my little girl Is a poor clergyman’s wife, vou will give her husband a living;” and you answered, “Mr. Bridge, my promise is not worth half a crown, but I give It to you, wishing it were worth more.” Enthusiastically the chancellor ex claimed : “ Vou arc quite right, I admit the obli gatlon. I remember all about it;" nud then, after a pause, archly surveying the damsel, whoso graces were the reverse of matronly, lie added: “But surely the time for keeping my promise has not yet arrived? You cannot bo anybody’s wife at present?" For a few seconds Bessie hesitated for an answer, and then, with a blush and a ripple of silver laughter, she replied: “ No ; but I do wish to bo somebody’s wife. Xam engaged to a young clergy man ; dud there’s a living in Hereford shire, near my old home, that has recent ly fallen vacant, and if you'll give It to Alfred, why, then, Lord Eldon, we shall marry before the end of tbeyear." Is there need to say that the chancel lor forthwith summoned his secretary, and the secretary forthwith made out the presentation to Bessie’s lover, and, that having given the chancellor a kiss of gratitude, Bessie made good speed back to Herefordshire, hugging the precious document the whole way home.

ONE OF NATURE'S NOBLEMEN. thoughts were far away from any noblemen of any kind os I stood among a uC ulticjo Vn dry goods establishments situated on tho fashionable promenade of our thriving metropolis. I was one of the many who lined tho polished counters, looking with admiring eyes on the beautiful fabrics so tempting ly displayed. Tho half hour’s absence of the obliging clerk, who could find the stylo I required only In a distant part of tho house, allowed me to bo entertained with watching tho stream of fair ones coming and departing. And while I waited and made mental criticism to amuse myself, an incident . occurred n.little out of the common ob servation of shop visitors. A slight, small woman, pale, sad-eyed, and wearing faded black, came in with a now influx of visitors, walking timidly and casting a half-frightened glance at tho piles of pretty stufls. A bright new material on the counter near where I stood caught her eye; she tremblingly inquired the price; when she was told, my sharp eyes saw a bill twisted in tho quivering flngere with a perplexed, troubled air, and my cars heard tho murmured— “ Aunio will need ten yards.” “ Will you take it?” She lifted her pale, meek face, and an swered : “I cannot; I did not think it would bo so much.” - She was turning away when a gentle man, who. like myself, had been looking and listening, drew near, asking of the clerk: “ What does tho lady want? I will wait upon her. You attend to the custo mer below.” Tho respectful manner in which he was obeyed made mo at once aware that he was the proprietor, and I was alittlo sur prised at what followed. “ How many yards did you want, mad am?” Her aatonishpaont was amazing. *‘l can’t take It, sir.” “lam not talking about that,” with a smile, “just answer my question.” He cut off more than she folteringly mentioned: and while he was packing it she found voice to teU him that ill-health had forced her to relinquish tho work with which she had obtained a support for herself and her two fatherless chil dren. But tho eldest girl, barely seven teen, was going to teach In a week, and she needed a dress to make her preseuta- Ho made no reply, taking in silence the ilttie bill she onered—the very last of a small hoard—and from his own port? monito added a greenback, the amount of which I could not see, and slipped both between the cord which bound the parcel and handed the parcel to her with— . ‘‘There, tell your daughter a stranger wishes her success.” He walked away hastily to avoid her tearful thanks, and the little woman looked, as she turned to depart, like one in a dream. , It was a simple act, unobtrusively, qui etly done; and not a week before, that same gentleman had been pronounced uncharitable, because his name would not bo put down to swell the list for aid towards some missionary scheme. He may withhold his benevolence from a popular enterprise that would promul gate his name to the world, but for true, unostentatious charity (since I’ve learned this was not the only case), he is, I thought, one of 14 nature’s noblemen.” Dearly would I like to give his name, but it would seem like desecration to draw aside the veil from-suoh noble good ness; so let him in secret dispense hia charity while angels praise, and surely God .will reward. flS?” What a queer, fellow the French man must have been, who for twenty years loved a lady and never missed pass-* ing his evenings at her house, She be came a widow, 44 1 wish you joy 1” cried his friend, 44 you may now marry the wo man 3’ou have so long adorned. 44 Alas!” said the poor Frenchman, profoundly de jected; 41 and if so, where shall I spend my evenings?” The Pella Jilade says: 44 A GUl cago 4 Runner’ recently loft a shirt at one of the Oskuloosa Hotels, and wrote to the chambermaid to forward it to him at this place, upon which she wrote to him the following reply: "I hope clear sir you’ll not feel hurt, I’ll frankly tell you all about it; I'vo made a shift with your old shirt and you must make a shift without jt, n #5?"
