The Lebanon Shakers.
A correspondent of tho Now York
World bug been treating bimsclf to
me sensnuon ol a visit to Hie JShnkers
at ow Lebanon, Now York. Wo
copy bis picturo of the Suntlay morn
inir services :
The Shaker incoting-houso is pcr-
iecny pmin wuito wooden building.
one-(story uijjn, cloeud with a low
arched roof unadorned with steeple or
belfry.. The front is divided by two
uoorstor mo "world s people to enlor,
and at oilhcr end thero is ono fur tho
brethren and sitters. In the interior
ranged along one side wcro serornl
rows of plain wooden benches for vim
tors. A single row of seats stood
against tho opposilo wall, and a few
wore plucod at tho ends ol the room
leaving a largo snutiro space in the
center of tho house entirely unoccu
pied. Two plain box stoves standing
at tho extremes of the room and a row
of pegs around tlio wall completed tho
furniture of the edifice.
One Shaker brother was on hand at
no early hour, acting tis usher and
regulator of tho sexes. As tho hour
for service approached tho eustorn
door noiselessly opened. A band of
Bixtoen sisters entered, and on tip-too.
with h sort ol swyini motion, crossed
tho floor, which was polished up to
enamel, to the opposite end ot tho
room. Ilict'wero unilormlr clad in
pearl-gray dresses of a rich, thin fabric,
having coat-sleovos and round waists
from which hung straight skirts in
overlapping plaits reaching nearly to
tho top of their low shoes of black
cloth, having just enough of space to
roveui liio immaculate stocking, r old
od over the shoulders in tho form of a
half square wero spolloss neckerchiefs
ot win to musiin. llioeldrcHses wore
silk cropsod on tho breast ovorchomi
sottes of while linen, buttoned tlosely
to the throat, where thny wore banded
with high collars reaching to tho chin
Tho hair was shingled closely to tho
heud, over which wore worn rkull caps
of white lace. Tho first two entered
in single filo, the others followed by
twos. I hey seiitod themselves on the
benches, two at the end of tho room,
two at the side, three noarer the cen
ter, four immediately in front of these.
When all were seated oach unfolded a
largo whilo handkerchief which she
carried, luid it across her lap, and
rested upon it her folded hands. Oth
er bands onlercd at intervals in a si in
ilar manner. Somo wore shakor sun-
bonnots and white or pnla blue shaw ls,
which they took on and hung upon
tho pegs, Tho part of tho room do-
voted to women was soon filled. For
somo moments thero was cenerul si
lonco. The whilo reflection Trom their
caps and neck drapery gave to tho
faces of these women tho waxon huo
of doatb, and as they sat sido by sido
in statuesque repose they seemed like
so many resurrected bodies awaiting
the ascension, i'rosoutly thero wus a
shuffling sound. Tho brothers tip
toed in, and in the twinkling of an
eye all war changed. I!y this timo
the oulsido pressure for cntranco was
great, and tho brother usher blushod
in his efforts to keep the oommingling
man and women of the mundanosphcro
from together ontoring tho mule door.
When all were Boated tlio Sliukon ami
and Shakcressoa advanced uad formod
separate lines through tho contcr of
the hollow square, tlio lionl column
headed respectively by Elder Ered-
orick and Kldress Antoinette Alter
the intoning of u hymn by all the as
sembled order, ono of tho brothers
stepped from tho ranks and utlored a
low words ol lliituksgiving. A second
hymn was followed by a request from
another brother that no levity bo in
dulged in by the assembly during tho
service Elder Frederick Evans then
advanced, and, facing tho assembled
strangers, procooded to audrers llicm,
firat alluding to the principles of tlio
Shakers' faith, "the basis of which,"
ho said, "was to tr.msfor tho back
bruin to tho top brain, or, in other
words, to despiso tho pleasures of tho
body, and to seek offspring of tho
soul." lie denounced the presont sys
tem of marriage as ono of corruption,
though not opposed to it under right
conditions, and advocalod celibacy ns
the higher lifo for men and women.
llo rebuked womon for their extruva
gnuco in dress, and ridiculd their ab
surd fashions "their false hair and
great hereuftors. Compared with tho
ancient Greek ideas, they would bo
regarded as monstrosities, requiring
the name of woman written under
thorn to know what they wcro," To
tho men ho said : "You arc a sot of
tyrants, overy ono of you, and you
hold lltoso womon under you liko tho
slaveholders of tho South held their
slavos. Tho social ovil is the cause of
your infernal government. Tho Shak
or womon nitnngo their own concerns
as well as tho men do," Closing his
remarks with a sharp rcbuko for fin
ing women 1100 fur voting, he exhort
ed his followers to praiso Uod wilii
a-eftl, and resumed his place among tho
eldors, who, with the deacons und
eldoresscs and deoconosscs, formed
into two separate-circles in the ccntor
of tho room, and sung lively gongs,
whilo theolhers, in double linus.march
cd round them, in kind of slow
dunco, moving their extended hands
in time with tlio music. Tho dunoe
concluded, ft fair young sister made
an almost Inaudible speech. She was
followed by Eldress Antoinette, who
gave a fervent exhortation, in clear,
sy mpathojio voice, full of warning and
entreaty. Tho audience, who had
listened throughout the sorvice with
groat doforence, was then disporsed.

CLEAEFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 22,
The ospecial attention of the Secret
Service of the United States having
been called to the fact that largai

found thoir way into this country in
somo mysterious manuor,; without

theso smuggled goods came through

Somolimos tins law gives tne i o-
lestialsa grout deal of trouble; for
instance, whon thoy havo found n suit
able aland for a wush-houso whore
thero is not tho proper number of
doors between it and iho next wash
houso. Tho .Mongolians, howover, are
generally equal to tho emergency. A
few tin) sinco a party found a site
for a wash houso, which suited thorn
in ovory rcripect. 'Wbi.n they carrjo to
count doors,howcvor,it was found that
Iho noxt wash-houso was but seven
doors distant. For ft timo they woro
at a loss what to do ; but finally they
found a vacant bit of ground betwoon
tho place thuy wero about to opon and
tho nearest wash-house. This ground
thoy Icasod and on it orectrd a little
shanty in which thoy placed a door
no windows or anything olso that
should belong to ft houso except tho
door. Tho door, however, wus thero,
the requirements of tho law had been
complied with and tho now wash
house could bo opened.

and tho first thing must bo to cut off
the access of all outsiders. But if we
are troubled by none but natives, it
will not require much skill to capture
every ono ol ihom old, cunning lot
lows and all. In the first placo, then,
we must rosolvo to lake time lo it and
capture tho whole lot, und to this ond
no attempt must bo made to capture
singlo animals, since this will tend to
niako them suspicious and will put tha
old ones on their guard. I lien pro

a quantity of old carpet, brush, Ac.,
and al'0 somo food, such as meal, her

hole in Iho side of tho box, and leave
it for some days. 1 he rats will soon
find it out and frequent it. First a
young ono will go in mid huvo a good
feed and como out all rielit; Hie old
ones, seeing that ho is not hurt, Ihey,
too, will go in, and in a short tunc
overy rut about tho premises will fre

vou tun let tliem out ono nt a timo

Tho latest type of an A mcrican Con
gressman is a mugiilficcnt creature, no

docs the exquisite of tho third genera
tion the rugged and homely uncestor
who amassed tho family fortune llo
has intimated pretty emphatically that
thero is no cheap humanity about him,
and that to bo honored of his country
involves equipping him with nil of
life's necessities, und as many of its
luxuries as ho may desiro. So row
Among tho annual improvements to bo
mudo upon tho National Capitol is an
arrangement which ho will appreciate,
and whoso inception wus doubtless
duo to a contemplation of his peculiar
and siipor-retincd tastes. Tho Senulo
Chamber is to be ventilated by im
ported duels, through which will pass
currents of air cooled by sprays of icod
water, uranno cniDeiiisiimonts win
adorn this system of fountains, and
olussio luslo will superintend Ihcir

men acquire the material concessions
that their natures seem lo crave. It
is not enough that they should bo
furnished with marble baths and mar
bio bars, nor can men of lofty senti
ments do without dozens of hair brush
es, scented soaps, cologno, ieo crcom,
lemons, crushed sugar, und other "sta
tionery," but their fevered brows
should bo cooled by iced, and perhaps
pcriumod, zephyrs, mado expressly to
order at a great outlay of timo, labor
und money.
If tho question should be suggostod
to any one what roturn the country
toccives for this expenditure ot per
sonal application, ho would hnd his
answer in the legislation ofl'ected and
proposed at recent Congressional ses
sions. Mngnitleeiico expands the mind,
and lifts it above the conlomnlution ot

It is only by this recent growth ol

Of courso it contains the usual stand

ken from a city daily which lies bo-
fore us. Nor is tho reading matter

ion to gather up ns many sensational
items as possible 11 would seem that
a newspaper ol the period lo meet Hie

vuriety of horrible dishes, served up
with all manner of condiments. Wo
turn uway from tho dreadful record

tho world is growing w !' that

was not so in their day. But before
wo dispairingly y iuld lo tho belief that
tlio moral tone of tho community has
hopelessly degenerated, let us consid
er the great increaso in population
within iho last half century that
much moro is dono nowadays than in
the days of our fathers, nol of evil
only, but also of good, and that tho
natural tendency of tho rapid increase
of journalism is to bring before the
publio whuterer happens. Remem
bering theso things, we may fuel that
tho w hole world is not quite hopeless
ly bad. Yet it is most unfortunate
that so much publicity is given by
tho press lo details ol shameless and
ulrocious crimos. Our nowspupers
aro thus rondcrod both uiiplciwaiil and
unsuitable for family reuding. The
finer sensibilities ot the community
aro blunted, the constant reader be
comes disgusted or demoralized.

Wealtd of Pennsylvania. Mr.
Thomas J. Bingham, Commissioner of
Statistics of Pennsylvania, bus pre
pared, in advance ol his annuul re
port, a tubulated statement of Iho
wealth, taxation, estimated und true
valuation and publio indebtedness of
tho Stute. The aggrcguto assessed'
value of real estate in all the counties,
he said, is $1,087,71)3,8 1 L and the as
sessed valuo of personal property $85,
009,429, making the total asscssod
value of property of both kinds; $1,-'
172,908,977. Tho Commissioner, how
ever, asserts the well-known fact that
this fictitious value is very much, less
than too actual vulue, and he has at
tempted upon bis own responsibility,
without huving positive dala with
which to work, lo attain an approxi
mation to the roal valuo. Tho result
thus secured places the real and per
sonal cstato of Pennsylvania at 83,
475,831,851. Mr. Bingham says that
in a few counlies, Chester, Delaware
and Erie, and mcasurcably in Mont- .
gomcry and Philadelphia, the assessed.
creditably approaches tho real valu'e.
while in olbers the assessed is shame
fully below tho cash value; in one
county, Luzerne, it is only ono-four-
tcenth. Jo the real nnd personal cs
lute of Philadelphia he attributes an
actual valuo of 1,022,04!),8. Tbo
next largest amount is given to Alle
