TUESDAY EVKNINC, JUNB 7, 1HU
Urare ef William Finn.
Visit te the Fenn Charcbyard.
Londen Dispatch te the New Yerk Merald.
A report bavins been spread tbat tbe
bones of tbe founder of Pennsylvania were
te be transferred from theu- resting: place
in Buckingbamsbiie te America, I deter
mined te make a pilgrimage te Jerdan's
meeting house churchyard. I chese June
2 for tbe visit, and duly made my iray te
Rickmanvrertb, a quaint little town in
Ilerfertshire and thence te Chalfont by
confusing and winding reads. Chalfont is
in the heart of Buckinghamshire. It is
several miles from tbe railroad station and
off the high read. Yet it is historic
ground. Near by, in Chalfont St. Giles,
is shown the beuse where Milten spent
sem6 of his latter years and composed
much of bis poetry and where EH EH
weed, tbe Quaker, suggested te
him tbe wiiting of , "Paradise Re
gained." Tbe little burial ground of the
Friends, in which Penn is buried, is about
three miles beyond Chalfont St. Giles.
The read is very solitary, but very pleas-
aut at this time el the year, when the
thorn and chestnut are in full bloom and
the fields are waving with young corn.
After topping a slight elevation I was sut
priscd by a sight quite out of keeping with
the prevailing solitude. I was looking
down upon a thickly weeded hollow where
two paths joined, and saw a score or two
of people, both men and women, passing
te and fro. A gUucc assured me that
most of them were Friends and that this
must undoubtedly be tbe place which I
sought, some extraordinary occasion hav
ing brought a crowd together. A short
walk brought me within view of a humble
building euscenced amid a grove of mag
nificent trees, which were doubly sacred
te the Friends as having served their co
religionists as a worshiping place for gen
erations, and as being the chosen resting
place of William Penn.
Ne meuldering ruin or lich sculptured
tracery attracts the gaze. Net a single
object of artistic beauty, net ene form of
earthly grandeur, meets tbe view. It is a
simple, barn-like structure. In front of
it arc a few unpretending gravestones and
tbat is all. One might almost fancy it
the cemetery of some ruined abd deserted
hamlet but ler the people tbat were there
assembled. I found tbat I bad hit upon
tbe rare occasion of an annual meeting of
the Friends of the district. It is almost
the only meeting held here during the
whole course of the year, and the very
matter which took me therp bad brought
a larger concourse of Friends. All had
heard or bad talked of the removal of
William Penn's bones. Although none
believed that it could be, all wanted te
bear what was said en the subject.
Among the number were some American
Friends who were en their travels and who
had devoted the day te seeing a spot
which was se endeared te them. Among
them were Dr. King, of Baltimore ; Mr.
J. C. Thern, of Baltimore ; Mr. Ames
Hains, of New Yerk, and nearly a dozen
ethers. I found a group of gentlemen
gathered about one of the unpretending
graves or gravestones, I should say, for
there was hardly a mound te indicate
where a body bad been laid. It bore the
simple inscription, "William Peun, 1718."
A few years age a stranger would have
been unable te distinguish the grave of
William Penn from the surrounding gi;ass
covered hillocks. Ne sigu declared the
former rank and character of thc sleeper.
Wild llewers grew alike ever all.
It was Granville Penn, of Stoke Pegis,
the great-grandson of William Pen'n, who.
suggested the erection of a small stone te
mark the resting place of his ancestor.
This advice was adopted. Headstones
mark net only tbe grave of Penn, bill
these of his two wives, his children, his
relatives, bis intimate associates and his
fellow-laborers. The greater number of
graves remain unmarked by stones. Only
fifteen stones are found in all, three being
close te tbe grave of William Penn, Near
the entrance gats, te the left of the nar
row path, a slab points out the graves of
bis live childcrcn. Oa the right of the
path is a row efgracs, five marked by
headstones. Tbe second and third are
these of Isaac Pennington and his wife.;
the fourth is that of Penn's first wife,
Guliclma Maria ; the fifth bears the name
of William Penn and his second wife. Te
molest any of theso graves ; te molest,
most of all, the chief among them, that of
William Penn, would be a desecration.
Such was the opinion of all with whom I
spoke Americans as well as English.
They would net like te see tbe graves
touched en any account. Nowhere could
Penn's remains rest se suitably as beneath
the elms of tbe quiet spot where, with
ethers, be bad worshiped in unquiet and
dangerous times and where at bis own re
quest he was buried.
This opinion found unanimous expres
sion in a resolution which was passed at
the meeting te tbe effect tbat nothing
would ever iuduce the trustees of the-little
graveyard te allow any of tbe graves te be
molested. They bad heard that a sum of
money had been collected te purchase a
grave for Penn's bones, but they smiled
at the simplicity of any one who could
suppose tbat money could have any effect
upon them. Fer anything which they in
tended te de or which they could be in
duced te de in the matter the remains
would stay wcre they are forever. Min
utes te this effect wcre entered upon the
record of the day's proceedings and a
committee was appointed te sec that
nothing was done contrary te this
resolution should any direct application
be made for the removal of Point's
body. Up te" the present this has net
been the case. It should be said tbat these
views are in accerdance with tbe wish of
Colonel Stuart, whose wife is a descendant
of the founder of Pennsylvania and who
still enjoys the pension of 4,000 which
was granted te tbe family in lieu of tbe
money lent by William Penn te Charles II.
Among these elected upon this committee
for the safeguard et the grave may be
mentioned the names of Mr. It. Littleboy,
of Newport Pagnell, Mr. Tuko Hitching
and Mr. Browntown, counselor of Listen,
The first named is the chief trustee of
Jerdan's meeting beuse. He writes te tbe
Times the following letter : " The intima
tion in veur correspondence from tbe
United States, relative te tbe removal of
the body of William renn trem its resting
place at Jordans. Buckinghamshire, te
America, takes me by surprise. As a trus
tee of tbe burial ground I may say that
the trustees have received no application
en tbe subject, and if made it would net
be entertained."
Blende Hair Changed te Black.
Washington Feit, Saturday, June 4.
At a meeting of the biological 'society,
held at the Smithsonian institution last
eveniug, Dr. D. W. Prentiss read a paper
entitled "Notes en the action of Pilecarp
us pennatifelius in changing the color of
human hair." Professer Prentiss' paper
lccerded a very remarkable case of the
change in color of tbe hair of a lady pa
tient in this eitv. who bad been treated
I several months for bleed poisoning, with
jaberandi, a Brazilian plant used in medi
cine. This medicine, which is given te
produce sweating in certain rare cases,
was first given te the patient in
subcutaneous injections in December
last. At tbat time and previously
her hair was a light blonde, but
within about two weeks a chage toward a
darker color was perceptible, which in
creased, nntil in the middle of January
the bair became of a chestnut-brown color.
In May the color was nearly a pure black,
which it still retains, although there is a
slightly apparent tendency te return again
te a lighter color. As this is the only re
corded case of this plant (which is net
however, in common use) having produced
any perceptible change in the color of
humau hair, it became a matter of interest
te knew hew this change was brought
about and liew often it might accompany
the use of this remedy. A microscopic
examination shows the hair te contain a
greatly increased quantity of pigment
matter, and scientists new await with in
terest the results of future growths te
ascertain whether they will return te their
old color or retain that newly acquired.

Kejjnlar Correspondence Philadelphia Tunes.
What would you say if they should find
that valuable desks bad been sold te pri
vate parties without advertising for from
25 cents te $1 ; that ice pitchers disappear
by the dozens ; that chandeliers are
changed every year or two ; that carpets
costing $3 a yard are put down where they
arc net needed, kept down for a short time
and then ripped up, carted oil" and sold for
almost nothing and ethers put down in
their places, and ether things equally ec
centric ? I dare net say that these car
pets are suspected te be bought by some
body who makes a geed deal of money en
them, and I cannot say that percentages
aie paid for new carpets. This steal
ing from the government is net con
fined te star routes, let me tell you,
and tbe way some officers' houses are
furnished and the way some officers
live 011 small salaries would astonish a
Philadelphia marine. Drep-lights, desks,
book cases, clocks, chairs, books, paper
weights, scissors, knives, fine stationery
these things go literally bv the hun
dreds, net only in the departments but in
the capitol, the courts and all branches of
the government service. I have never been
a government officer, but still I knew bow
hew it's done. Here is Temmy Jenes. He
is a member of Congress and the chairman
of a committee. He tells bis messenger
or his clerk te have " that desk" sent te
his honse ; he has se much writing te de
at night that he must have it. De you
think that desk gets back te the capitol
when that man leaves the capitol ? Net
much. Then Dick Ree is a chief clerk
somewhere A handsome drop-light
worth $20 or 30, perhaps, is in his
office. He says te bis messenger :
" Henry, take the drop-light te my
house. I have get te use it for a week or
two and then you can fetch it back."
Docs it ever get back, though ? Hardly
Thc.i a congressman may have in his com
mittee room a hundred d-illar clock. At
the close of the session lie orders the clock
te be be sent te his house, " for fear that
somebody may steal it during the recess."
Docs that clock ever tick in that commit
tee room again '.' Net a tick. Anether
way. Jack Dee is the head of a depart
ment. He commands unlimited servants,
called messengers. He tells a handsome
colored man te go te his house and stay
.for a day or two until he can find a
servant. De you suppose that officer
ever really finds a suitable man?
Never. There is a cabinet-maker (I
mcau a fellow who makes pictty
wardrobes, book-cases, desks, chairs, etc.,
out of mahogany, ro.-cweod, etc.), in
nearly every department. Hew easy il is
for the cabinet-member te tell the cabinet
maker that lie wants a certain tiling
made. " Won't you please de it (I can't
find anybody else who can suit me) and
keep the account and I will pay for the
lumber, for your lime, etc." Docs that
cabinet officer ever get arr account? Ne.
sir. The carriage evil, since the days tf
the famous landaulct which stepped the
way of Judge Williams te the chief jus
ticeship, is a iroed deal abated. It used
te be tliat every chief clerk and bureau
officer had a coupe, which their fami
lies used while the officer rode in
the street cais. Every department
has a carriage or two new, but it is net
noticed "te any great degree. New, even
that high old body the supreme court
even its members have some pleasant priv
ileges. A room in the residence of each
one of Hie nine judges is furnished by the
government a handsome c.irpct, leather
furniture, a beautiful desk, immense book
cases and a law library, with such ether
little adornments, including a servant, as
may seem necessary. Ne one, bower, will
object te this. It is as proper te supply
the judges with a library and an office as
it is te supply them with a judicial desk or
stationery.
A New Temperance Movement.
New Yerk Sun.
The temperance movement which has
lately been started in the Episcopal
church is one of the most important and
significant ever undertaken in the United
States. It is net te be a total abstinence
agitation, for a large part of these who
arc engaged in it arc probably moderate
drinkers themselves. Neither docs it pro
pose te effect its objects by laboring for
legal methods of restraint or prohibition,
after the manner of the temperance re
formers of tbe past. It is simply designed
te warn the people whom the Episcopal
church intluenccs against the danger of
using intoxicating beverages at all, or in
mere than small quantities, and te pro
mote the establishment of paces of resort
where only innocent drinks arc provided.
The Church Temperance society has at its
head the presiding bishop, and fourteen
ether bishops have accepted appointments
as vice presidents. It will aim te get, and
undoubtedly will receive, the hearty sup
port of all the diocesan conventions, and
it will seek te found in every Episcopal
parish of the country a branch temper
ance society composed of individuals who
bave bound themselves te live according te
the principles it advocates. And the so
ciety's ideas of what temperance consists
in are se bread that no one who pretends
te be obedient te the restraints of morals
or religion can refuse te subscribe te
them.
Te accommodate the views of both total
abstainers and moderate drinkers, six dif
ferent pledges arc provided, any one of
which may be taken by a member. Twe
of them, with slight modification, bind te
total abstinence, except under a medical
order or for religious purposes. One prom prem
ises no mere than te de the utmost by pre
cept and example, te promote the objects
of the society ; and the rest arc pledges
against drinking at bars or public places,
solitary drinking, and treating and being
treated. Tbe premise binds only during
membership. It will be seen that the deer
of entrance te the society is wiilc enough
te let everybody in except confirmed and
hopeless drunkards, who have lest all will
power whatever. Even peeple who arc
opposed te giving any specific pledge,
deeming it a needless simcn-
der of their freedom, are provided
for in the general premise te promote
the objects of the society. By making the
wise distinction between temperance as a
Christian obligation of universal applica
tion, and total abstinence as a rale of ex
pediency in certain cases, the Episcopali
ans avoid tbe controversy which has se
greatly interfered with the success of the
temperance reformers of the past, who de
nounced the use of alcohol in every shape
and in any quantity, by all men. They
have therefore begun a temperance move
ment which must command general ap
proval, for it is sensible, philosophic and
practicable. The drinking usages of se
ciety against which they niake war need te
be changed, and a body se influential can
de'a great deal te help te add te tbp dis
repute into which they are gradually fall
ing among peeple of taste and intelli
gence. The First of the Season.

He was an innocent looking sort of a
man, and be drew his chair up te the city
editor's desk in a timid way as be remark
ed :
" The bass fishing season opened en
Wednesday."
" sol understand,77 was the city editor s
answer.
" I went out 011 the river early yester
day morning "
" One minute is this a fish story ?''
asked the editor.
" Well, yes, a kind of one a small
one. I thought it would make an item
for you."
The city editor reached up and removed
a withered, dusty pretzel from a nail ever
his desk and then motioned the man te
proceed.
"I went out en the river early yesterday
morning, and right out from Seuth street,
near the big rock, I caught a bass three
feet long ami weighing sixteen pounds. I
broke one of the ears of my beat ever his
head before I subdued him, and he squeak
ed se loud he drowned the rear of the
steam escape at the water house. In his
mouth I found fourteen fish-hooks, left
there by fellows that had tried te catch
him. After I had him anchored near
shore he broke loose and escaped."
" Hew did you ascertain bis length,
weight anil the fourteen fish-hooks fact if
he escaped before you get him te shere ?"
asked the editor, in a tene meant te be
sarcastic.
" I always carry a pair of scales and a
feet rule witli 1110 when I go fishing, and
when the bass laid en his back and gasp
ed, I counted the hooks.
" The bass laid en his back and gasp
ed?" was the incredulous question.
" Yes."
The editor held out the pretzel and said:
' Yeung fellow, you take the pretzel. Fer
a whole year it has been banging here
waiting for the biggest liar iu Ilarrisburg.
The pretzel is yours."
He slowly backed out of the room with
a strange gleam in his eye, and didn't re
cover his equilibrium until he had fallen
down the first llight of iron steps.
