FRIDAY KVENINQ. APRIL 2, 1880.
What Shall They De With It.
Our farmers are troubled te knew
What te de with their money. There are
plenty of ways in which it may be judic
iously invested ; but they are net ac
quainted with many of these ways .and
in their blind search for them will be
prone te go astray. They are accustomed
te lend te their neighbors and te invest
in bank and turnpike stocks ; but these
avenues have become tee limited te em
ploy their rapidly growing wealth. If
they knew something about ether things
than farming and had a general intelli
jrpnnft which would protect them in en
gaging in the manufacturing industries
which the county is se well-fitted te sus
tain, they would find abundant and prof
itable employment for their capital.
There is no place in the country that has
greater natural advantages than Lancas
ter as a manufacturing centre. We are
near the centre of trade and population,
with competing railroads, fertile lands,
geed markets, cheap rents, healthful
climate, abundant water , and when te
these advantages is added almost un
limited capital it would seem clear that
the money of our people should find em
ployment in manufacturing industries.
But these require intelligent direction
for their success, and past experiences
have been such as te make local capital
timid in venturing into these pathways.
Nene of our manufacturing enterprises
paid the original investors directly,
although they have ali been of great ad
vantage te the community and have been
rich mines of wealth te these who suc
ceeded te their ownership. There was
but one tiling wanting te make them
successful as business ventures, and
that was geed and experienced
business management. If our men of
money would educate themselves in the
knowledge of some art,they would net be
without satisfactory employment for
their means. If our farmers would give
te some of their children a scientific edu
cation, or would have them taught a
trade which would furnish a use for their
money, they would be doing them
selves, their children and the commu
nity a benefit. It used te be con
sidered a wise policy in parents
te give their children a trade, even
though they did net design them te pur
sue it, that they might be provided with
a means of subsistence in case et reverse
of fortune and the failure of their chosen
plan of life. It is considered wise still ;
and it is especially recommended te men
of wealth who have in their own occu
pation no ready wav of employing it, as
i6 the case with our rich farmers, by then
fact that they create in their own family
and in these in whose welfare they are
especially interested, profitable users of
their capital.
It is a duty laid upon every man te
give his children as geed an education as
he can afford them, and it is especially
incumbent en the rich man who leaves
behind him the wealth that requires in
telligent control te make it useful te the
community and its owner. It is net an
education that leads te the professions
that is especially wanted. These walks of
life are overstocked. There are plenty
te tread them and there is no need of
special encouragement te their students.
It is in the mechanical arts that a wise
man, in these days, should instruct his
children, especially when he has the cap
ital that is required in their development ;
and our farmers would de well te put
their sons in these pathways of life, in
stead of keeping them behind the plow,
and finding them, when they are free,
disposed te wander off te the "West in
search of a field of labor, when the one
they leave, te men properly prepared for
it, is as rich as any the world can give
them.
-
Xeta Matter or Prejudice.
In the discussion of the admission
of colored children te the Heme for
Friendless Children in this city it has
been charged by the Examiner that their
exclusion hitherto had been " owing
principally te the narrow prejudice of one
person connected with its management
against the color of a black skin," and
in repense te this intimation the Ixtkl
ugexceu said :
By its sneer at " the narrow prejudice of
one person connected with its management
against the color of a black skin," the Ex
aminer intends te held up te public ridi
cule that excellent Christian woman, Mrs.
S. M. Krampli, whom everybody concedes
te be the geed genius of the Heme, and te
whose deep-rooted aversion te the com
mingling of the two races much deference
has been paid. These who knew her knew
that from the outset the Heme lias been
the object of her unselfish devotion, of all
her time and anxiety and labor ; te it she
has given her love, her affection and her
money ; and it is no wonder that the sen
sible men and women who have co-operated
with her should in some measure
share her "prejudices" in all things re
lating te its management.
Justice te Mrs. Kramph requires it te
be said further that she has no " preju
dices " in this matter. In fact it may be
said that she is net a woman of preju
dices but of deep convictions en all these
questions in which tee many people al
low these prejudices te guide them te
conclusions. She has always advocated
the widest extension of political rights
te colored people, and her concern re
garding the social intercourse of the two
races is only that which is felt for their
mutual geed by the great censerva
tive majority of every well-ordered
and intelligent community. Just as
the editors of the Examiner and
Inquirer preserve this social distinction
she would preserve it in the household
of the Heme family. Twice at meetings
of the Heme managers, when a majority
of them were present, a vote being taken
en the admission of the colored children,
it was voted unanimously te admit them
te all the privileges of the Heme, condi
tioned that a separate building be provid
ed for thern, he that while all their rights
should be carefully preserved, that social
intermingling of the races should net be
encouraged, which tins never yet worked
any geed where it lias been practiced.
Our local report of the business of the
eventful " First" exhibits a satisfactory
condition of the money market and a
highly prosperous state of Lancaster
county's material Interests. Our great te
bacce crop has brought millions of money
into the county; our mere thrifty
class of fanners have an over ever
plus te lend, or are anyway able
te pay their debts; the mere impe
cunious can borrow at reduced rates,and
" taking one consideration with another"
it is hard te see why anybody should
want te be born, te live or te die in a
better place than Lancaster county.
Many people in these parts who think
kindly of ex-Gov. Joel Parker, of New
Jersey, as a presidential possibility, will
read with satisfaction the sketch of him
which is printed en our first page te-day.
There are men who are much mere prom
inently named than he for the Deme
cratic nomination and some who have a
much stronger positive following, but
when conventions break up into frag
ments ever the leading candidates and
" dark horses ' are called te the front te
harmonize things, the record of Parker
exhibits "staying" qualities that may
strongly recommend him.

The Union theological seminary, of
which the Rev. Dr. Wm. Adams is the
president, has this week received a gift of
$100,000 from ex-Governer Edwin D.
Morgan, of New Yerk. Mr. Morgan's
motive for this generous act is that he is
"desirous of showing his appreciation of
the usefulness of the Unicn theological
seminary, and aiding it in the great work
it is new dew doing for the country." The
money will be used te form a fund which
is te be called the "Edwin D. Morgan Li

The fair cantatrice at once published a
flat contradiction of the rumor, attributing
it te the malice of an enemy. Her voice is
as full, fresh and perfect in its range as
ever, and has never been affected by a cold
or any ether cause te such a point as te
justify a shadow of apprehension that she
might be ever temporarily prevented from
pursuing her professional avocations. The
extreme beauty and limpidity of tone that
characterized her voice still remain with
out a blemish. Mine. Nilsson is await

The following sent from Harrisburg te

Republicans of the state, and has announc
ed his intention te vote for Blaine

Montgomery counties, Waddell and Gar-
side, of Chester and Delaware counties,
Eavffman and Seltzer, of Lancaster, and se
will every delegate from the northern tier
of counties from the Delaware te Lake

The Kellogg Case.
Hnrrisburg Patriot.
The Spofford-Kellogg case stands en all
fours with the Butler-Cerbin case (from
Seuth Carolina) decided in favor of Butler
by a Republican Senate. Cerbin claimed
te have been elected by the Legislature of
Seuth Carolina uist as Kellogg claims te
have been chosen by the Legislature of
Louisiana. But Mr. Hayes refuses te rec
ognize the Legislature which elected Cor Cer
bin as a legal body and it fell te pieces.
He also withheld recognition from the
Legislature which elected Kellogg and
sent a commission with Wayne MacVcagh
of this state at its head te Louisiana te
arrange the organization of a legal Leg
islature. The result of Mr. MacVcagh's
mission was that the pretended Legis
lature which elected Kellogg disbanded
and left the Spofford Legislature master of
the situation. Hie Louisiana case is there
fore the precise counterpart of the Butler Butler
Cerbin case from Seuth Carolina. There
is net the slightest shade of difference be
tween them. But it may be said that the
Senate admitted Kellogg which settled
the matter irrevocably. The principle of
res adjudicata does net apply in this
instance, because a flagrant and palpa
ble wrong was done in the admission of
Kellogg. There is no court in Christen
dem which would refuse te open a judg
ment if it were clearly shown te have
been fraudulently obtained. Besides
the Senate is net strictly a court of law.
It must de equity as well as apply ' ab
stract principles of law and when a legal
abstraction is en the one side and equity
en the ether the Senate naturally and pro
perly must lean toward the latter. It is
clear that if the Senate did a lawful and
righteous act in admitting Butler as a
senator from Seuth Carolina, it committed
a grievous wrong in seating Kellogg. Cer
tainly the Senate can review its former ac
tion and correct the error into which it fell.
Mr. Spofford has as clear a claim te a seat
in the Senate as Mr. Butler of Seuth Caro
lina, or for that matter, at any ether sena
tor from any state and there ought te be
no further hesitation or delay in awarding
it te him.
A BOOM FOR BLAINE.
Kansas Instructs for the Plumed Knight of
Maine.
In the Kansas Republican state conven
tion the resolution naming the delegation
te the national convention passed by a
vote of 18S te 118. Mr. Merrill offered a
resolution nominating presidential electors
which was adopted, the Grant men refrain

Among the resolutions adopted was the
follewing: "That James G. Blaine has
the confidence of the Republicans and
that we recognize in him a statesman
worthy te lead the national Republican
party te victory ; that he is the choice of

dent of the United States, and that wc
pledge him our united support."
The convention adjourned at 1 :30 o'clock
a. m. and subsequently, during the morn
ing, delegates from the Third district met
in caucus and elected two delegates te
Chicago each received a majority of the
delegates in the district. They are both
Grant men and will claim seats in the Chi
cago convention. In the Second district
the same action was held.
Fire Recerd.
In Calhoun, McLean county, Ky., three

The Brown county (Tex.) court house
and jail were destroyed by fire. The coun

diary origin.
Oar Girls.
Frem the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Perhaps no class of persons come in for a
larger share of criticism in these days than
our American girls. While some of it may
be just and deserving, the bulk of it is un
just and an impertinence en the part of
scribblers who knew little of what they
write. One writer charges them as a class
"with being frivolous" "fend of show
and greedy for society." Anether says :
' It is dangerous for a young man te think
of matrimony, unless he has a fortune
at his disposal." Anether mourns
" for the days of simplicity of our
grandmothers." Doubtless each of these
carpers has personal reasons for his
complaint, for it is in the knowledge of
every observer that there are foolish,
frivolous American girls, just as there are
a multitude of young men whose mothers
blush for them. But, taken as a class,
every fair observer will brand the above
charges as false. Without detracting a
single honor, and in full belief of the
nobility and womanly virtues of our
grandmothers, we asert that the American
girl et te-day is her worthy successor
the licir te every womanly virtue. .Nay,
mere, she has, in addition te that inheri
tance, and under the broader civilization
and culture obtained through the open
doers of seminary and college, added
year by year unnumbered graces te the old
model. Fer can these virtues be classed
simply as impracticable and suited only te
hours of recreation ; they are of that sub-.
stantial character which enters into a lul-
fillmcnt of the premise, "It is net geed
that man should be alone ; I will make
him a help meet for him." It is a posi
tive misfortune that se many young men
misunderstand the nobility and the loy
alty of love that belongs te the American
girl, and defer matrimony " until they are
rich," until they "can furnish her such
a home," as her father through a long
struggle from poverty has made for
her. Thousands have made just such mis
takes. Instead of marrying for love and
working for their money, they seek the
money and somebody marries them be
cause they have obtained it. Thus a large
class are thrown, se te speak, upon the
market, for time-servers and fortune-seekers,
who appreciate mere the glitter of
diamonds and jewels than the fragrance of
the orange blossoms that ushers in the new
life. It is safe te say this condition is net
woman's cheesing. Left te her candid,
free choice, net tine woman in fifty
but will give her hand where her
heart has been wen, te a man whose no
bility of character and manhood has im
pressed itself upon her, rcgaidlessef any
accumulated wealth. Doubtless there are
myriads of old bachelors in comfortable
quarters who will go en dreaming of the
home of the future, but let them beware,
lest when that hoped-for day comes, they
find they are by education unfitted te en
joy it. That the young women of America
are frivolous, and refuse te share, willingly,
humble homes with honerable,lioncst men,
is an unjust accusation. The American girl
is the peer of any woman upon the glebe, or
any that has lived in the history of the
past. By the time-honored rules and con
ventionalities of society she modestly
awaits te be called te preside ever her
future home. Many thousand young men
in our cities and ever the land would have
been saved from vicious lives, new under
mining all their foundation of manhood,
had they earlier made their choice, and
taken into their counsels some honest,
cultivated, warm-hearted woman. Let
them forsake their evil ways and reform
ere it be everlastingly tee late.

SHERMAN'S NINCOMPOOP BUREAU.
ASainjilc of the St nil' that is Sent Out from
the Washington Club Roem.
The Sherman club has employed a re
porter te prepare articles for publication
in the newspapers which are supposed te
be friendly te the Sheimati cause. Last
night two articles were prepared in the
club rooms and taken te the offices of cer
tain correspondents te be telegraphed te
their journals. The bearer of the para
graphs bore a letter te a well-known cor
respondent from the secretary of the club.
One of the news items of the Sherman club
is of such an interesting character that it
should be given general circulation. It is
as fellows :
" A gentleman from New Orleans says
that all the best men in the Republican
ranks of that city are for Sherman. The
followers of Grant are hungry political
wolves and the hoodlums of the city.
Pinchback who was in Washington jnet
long age begging the appointment of
naval officer of that pert, and who upon
refusal went away with curses and
threats in his mouth, has tapped a
bonanza silver mine some say it is by a
roundabout way through the prospec
tive marriage of Miss Floed te young
Grant and has started a Grant organiza erganiza
ti )n in that city. He is established in fine
quaiters, lets of clerks and mere money,
and is swinging out in a way that is calcu
lated te attract all the scum of that sec
tion. He has written a letter te President
Hayes expressing righteous indignation
against the office-holders there for alleged
violation of the civil service rules. It is
known that this is simply a screen te cover
up the operations of the Grant office-heldi
crs, who monopolize the places in
that city te a large extent, and
te cast odium en the Sherman
movement. There arc a few prominent
Grant men in that section of honest con
victions. One of them states that it is
very doubtful about Grant getting the ex
pected delegation from that state. He
says Sherman is overshadowing him. His
chances arc better than either of the ether
candidates."
The ether paragraph furnished by the
club pretends te give the views of a citizen
of Rochester, who says that he belongs te
the Manse association, 12,000 strong, the
members et winch are ter blicrmau solid.
The paragraph is abusive of Mr. Conkling.

neck, hanging from a beam. His hands
were in his pockets, and life seemed te be

years, during which time he made no set
tlement. The township committee have
lately endeavored te force a settlement,
without success. A c't'zens' committce

THE "FIRST.'
The Business or Yesterday.
Frem information gathered from the
national banks and private banking houses,
from county officials and principal mer
chants, it is evident that yesterday was a
mere satisfactory First of April in a finan
cial and business sense than any that has
preceded it for many years past. Although
the throng upon the streets appeared less
dense than we have seen in former years,
a greater number of the crowd "meant
business," and the result of is that bank
ing transactions and transfers of deeds,
judgments, mortgages, releases, &c, was
greater than ever before.
We learn from the "prothenotary that
the number of judgments entered in his
office yesterday was 352, being 11 mere
than were entered last year, and very con
siderably mere than were entered any
ether previous year, within the recollec
tion of the eldest clerk iu the office (Mr.
W. E. Kreider), who has been familiar
with the business of the office for fifteen
years. But while the number of judg
ments entered is larger, the rate of interest
paid is less than ever before much of it
being at 4 and 4 per cent, instead of 5 and
G per cent, heretofore paid. There were
also many transfers of judgments entered
in the prothenotary's office, an immense
number of releases (mere than ever be
fore), which shows a healthy condition of
the real estate market. By close applica
tion the prothenotary and his clerks com
pleted their hard day's werkbyll:30p. m.,
by which time they hud every official docu
ment duly recorded, and then Capt. Mc
Mellen, the prothenotary, took his force te
Miller's restaurant where they were enter
tained sumptuously.
In the office of the recorder of deeds yes
terday were entered 110 deeds, 52 mort
gages, 75 transfers and satisfactions, and
' searchers " were made ad infinitum.
Only one deed of of assignment was enter
ed yesterday another evidence of the
healthy condition of trade. Fer several
days preceding the First of April a heavy
business was done in the Recorder's office
principally in entering deeds and mert
gages.
The county commissioners and their
clerk, Mr. Will, were very busy yesterday,
and indeed every day during the present
week, in issuing 4 per cent, bends te re
place the 5 per cent bends new falling due.
On Monday $8G,000 in bends were issued
and yesterday 5l)U,UUU were issued. In a
short time all the 5 per cents will be re
deemed or replaced with 4 per cents.
The commissioners have offers of much
mere money than they need, anil it is pie-
baely tli at if further leans should be
needed they can be negotiated as low as 4
per cent.
The county treasurer and his clerk, Mr.
Warfcl, have, of course, been kept busy in
taxing and paying interest en the bends
issued by the commissioners. The num
ber of bends issued within the past few
days was 178, in sums ranging from $100 te
$15,750. The transactions were largest
en Monday, when 5 per cent, bends,
amounting te $127,000. were exchanged
for 4V per cent. The amount of cash
handled in the county treasurer's office
yesterday was about $35,000.
The cashier of the Farmers national
bank informs us that the transactions at
that institution yesterday were larger than
en any one day within the 27 years he has
been connected with it. The whole busi
ness foots up about $1,250,000. The de
posits were especially heavy, and while the
discounts were also very large, thcre was
comparatively little trouble in negotiating
them ; money is plenty and borrowers gen
erally came prepared with approved sure
ties. The ofliccrsef the Lancaster County na
tional bank and the First national bank
also report heavier transactions than ever
before, and an easy condition of the mar
ket. Although there was a constant, press
ure en "the part of customers, everything
worked smoothly and satisfactorily, both
te the banks and their patrons. The
County bank furnishes no figures, and the
First national states its transactions te be,
approximately, $700,000.
The private banking houses report
money very plenty, deposits heavy and
discounts comparatively light lighter
than they have been the 1st of April
in former years. This is accounted for by
the increased number of banking houses in
the country towns, where much of the local
business formerly done in this city is new
transacted, and also by the large sums of
money that has fallen into the hands of
farmers and ethers, through the sale of
last year's immense tobecco crop, thus
rendering many of them independent of
the money-lenders.
All in all the pcople of Lancaster county
may be congratulated en the flourishing
condition in which they find themselves in
thcspring of 1S80.

in her side, besides bruising her body in
many ether places. The stove was entire

A report of the disceveiy of a murder
after many years comes from Fredericks
burg, Lebanon county. A skeleton has
been found under a bed of hen house dirt
that has been accumulating for years. The
skeleton is that of a young man. It is new
recollected that a young man named
Crocker suddenly and mysteriously disap
peared March 10, 18G9, and that just be
fore that date he had been unmereifully
assulted by a citizen of that place. Crei-kcr
came te that section in 1SG8, and was an
entire stranger. The skeleton was found
when an old pig sty was tern down a part
of which had been used as a hen house.
It is alleged that Crocker was murdered
for a dollar by an envious person, anil the
body hidden away. An investigation will
be made.
Complimentary.
We are in receipt of a copy of the
Tewanda, Bradford county. Journal, con
taining the following complimentary no
tice of the recently established business
enterprise of a young gentleman formerly
of this city. His many friends here will
rejoice in the evidence of his abundant
prosperity in his new home :
The most recently organized of any
of our business houses is the merchant
tailoring and furnishing goods house of
W. II. Peel, which, after all, is really
successor te J. Deutrich. When Mr.
Deutrieh closed out business here, the last
of January, Mr. Peel took possession of
his salesroom but did net buy
any of his stock. All of the
goods that have since been placed en
exhibition were selected in the Eastern
markets, especially for this trade, and even
at the risk of this brief notice being called
a "puff" we must congratulate Mr. Peel
upon the taste shown in selections. It is
evidently his desire te cater te a class of
trade that requires the br st, and he has
prepared accordingly.
Mr. Peel is by no means a novice iu the
business. Fer a number of years he has
had practical experience as a cutter here
and elsewhere, and he personally attends ts
that department. In and out of the heuse
he gives employment te eleven persons,
already, and this force will doubtless be in
creased materially as the season advances.
At all events the house is a credit te To Te
wanda and should be liberally sustained.
MAYOR'S COURT.
A Full Heuse A Whole l-umily Seek Shelter.
This morning the mayor had before him
six cases of drunken and disorderly con

Jehn Lynch, stone cutter, his wife and live
children (one at the breast) who were
turned out of house and home jesterday
by virtue of a landlord's warrant, and hav
ing nowhere else te go sought shelter in
the station-heuf e. Lynch, it appears, was
a tenant at will, occupying a house in High
street which had been let by the owner
te another family. He had rented another
house, but for some reason, satisfactory te
the owner, he was refused admission into
it.
Stelen Team Rocercrail.
The team belonging te Jehn Wissier.
which was stolen yesterday morning from
in front of the Leepard hotel was recovered
late in the afternoon by Michael Metzger,
inn-keeper near Witmcr's bridge. The
team was in possession of two boys, named
Fisher and Coulman, aud as Mr. Metzger
knew the team te be Wissler's. he arrested
them, brought them te the city and turned
them ever te the police. The boy Fisher,
who is a son of P. II. Fisher, was released
en bail, and Coulman was locked up for a
hearing. When first arrested Fisher stoutly
declared that the "horse belonged te his
uncle, of Ephrata, who leaned it te him.
Fisher is about 14 years old and Coul
man 11.

furnishes it with the following calculation
of the water flowing from Lititz spring:
Number of gallons thrown out in one min
ute, 4,287, or G3 hogsheads ; number of
gallons in one day, G, 20-1,1 CO, or 87, 920
hogsheads ; number of gallons in one year
at this rate, 2,34G,419,400. This would fill
a basin, having an area of one mile square,,
