The Peiiiisylvauia Editors.
Their Annual .Excursion te Leng Branch.
The state association of Pennsylvania
editors has been vastly improved in the
tone as well as the number of its member
ship within the past few years ; and it new
bids fair te amply realize the original pur
pose of its founders and the present aitn
of its organization, viz : te cultivate the
amenities, te pie.scrve the dignity, te ex
tend the intluciice, and te enhance the le
gitimate profits of the" profession. It has
come te extend ever the whole state,
te take in every class of journalists, te
embrace the representative men of the
profession, made such by cxpcricnce and
distinction, and ifcis directed unsellishly
te the puipescs indicated. The an
nual excursion of its members is no
longer the object of the association se much
as it is a means of rt alizing by the power
of association and the exercise of the social
principle the higher objects of the organ
ization. Te the encrgv. the capacity and
the tact of its secretary, Mr. Itebt. S.
Meuamin, it ewes its preservation through
years of varying fei tunes, as well as its
present .strung! h and character, se auspi
cious of future usefulness te the profession
and of profit te its members.
Albeit, the editorial association has taken
en a higher tone and greater dignily,-the
annual excursion of the present year the
largest in its history lacked nothing of
perfect enjoyment te its participants
nor of unstinted hospitality en
the part of these who aided in
their entertainment. Frem the gathexing
of the excursionists in Philadelphia en
Monday evening of last week te their dis
peiMen in the saine city en Friday, the
management and experience were voted a
success " by a large majority," if net
wiih entire unanimity. This was due in
pait te Mr. Menamiu's indefatigable at
tenlieu te thu details, in part te thu execu
tive committee's geed selection of time,
place and route, in part te the geed humor
and geed fceiing of the excursionists, and
in part te the attention of the railway elli
ciais and hotel management te whom tlie
safety and eons fort of the travelers were
entrusted. A special train, with new
coaches, and r.ire " accommodations" in
the baggage car, and thcextra precautions
against accidents in the person and coin cein
panj en the train of passenger agents and
ether eiHeials, left, nothing undone or un un
peovided in the way of transportation
ever te Leng Branch and back. The lead
is geed and fast, and when you strike
Sea iJSrl yen get a whiff of the salt
breeze and it. ncvei leaves you until you
land at li-mg Bianch and net tlicn of
course.
The time chosen for the excursion was
opportune ; for though it was unseasonably
cool for bathing and " the season " se
back waul as te have checked the throng
of guests and visitors te the seaside, it
found die Ocean Heuse fresh and clean
and garnished in every corner ; proprietor.
clerks and waiters, prompt, attentive and
courteous ; and the very lack of ether visit
ors guaranteed unusually spacious and
well-located rooms. The committee ei
arrangements were equally felicitous in
tlie choice of place. Ne point en the sea
coast furnishes the same variety of attrac attrac
tiens as Leng Branch. It is there that
"the New Jersey upland runs te the beach
and the salt water splashes in the corn
row."' llcnce that richness of vegetation,
the fertile farms and fields, the beautiful
lawns anil ilericultute, which have had
much te de with making this spot the re
sort of the wealthy and tasteful. There
arc no such lawns anywhere en the sea
coast. Newport is tee high for them and
anywhere below Elbcren or Deal it is tee
sandy. These ate net " cottages," but
homes, that are set upon them, and when
people spend $20,000 en a piece of ground
and build a $00,000 house en it, as Com Com
eodore Garrison is doing here, they ex
pect te live en it.
And then the steamboat runs te New
Yerk every few hours and for 00 cents you
can have that beautiful ride, up between
beaches along which is stretched a con
tinuous city en cither side. Over here
Leng Branch extends into Seabright and
that te Monmouth and then Upper Mon
mouth and Navesink and Sandy Heek you
hardly knew where ene leaves off and tlie
ether begins. Over there are Leng Beach,
and Iieckaway and Ceney Island, with
Brighten and Manhattan and all the
while you are getting into that beautiful
harbor, with its wonderful shipping and
lighthouses and buoys and Jersey City
and New Yerk and Brooklyn, and the
weeded heights and long stretches of green
shore, and the bristling spires and towers
and bridges and grain elevators
and the factories and smoke and things of
beauty and use and of civilization and
energy and trade t hey crowd upon you
like one of Walt Whitman's poems, be
wildciingeyc and ear, challenging all the
senses and awakening enthusiasm. Mount
the elevated railway and let it take you
anywhere. Away up through the busy
streets, out into Shantytown where squat
ters, thousands of them, have set their
houses, patched up with drift limbers, en
rocks that leek as if they might be Ne-man's-land,
and the little gardens are net
in between these rocks like cups, stretch
ing out into miles of lettuce and
cabbage and beet fields. And as
you come back and sec the obelisk ris
ing ever yonder above the shade and
beauty and fragrance of the Central Park,
you get off the train, walkover and inspect
it, and hereafter read with better .sense
about the red monolith and its big base
and the hieroglyphics and the brass crabs
under it, and all that. Or if you haven't
seen enough of antiquity step into the
museum, and leek at the Ccsuela collec
tion of thousands of objects of ancient art
and see what sculptured stone coffins
these old Cyprians buried themselves in,
and their shapely vases and statues ami
busts. Then alter you have emerged again
from the shadow el" the pyramids or from
under the walls of Trey and gene out
again into nineteenth century civilization
in among the newspapsr offices and Wall
street and the stock exchange, you can
stand in Castle Garden, at the gate of the
New World, as it weie, and sec the Old
1 euring through her Heed of emigration.
What the Pennsylvania editors ought te
de is te have a winter excursion of a few
days in New Yei k ci t They would learn
a great deal, and be able te tell what they
knew a great deal better.
And then they wcre opperluno in the
time of their visitation te Leng Branch,
because Grant was there, and Garfield,
and the cabinet, or the better part of it,
and Childs ami Tem Murphy and Jehn
Rr.s;cll Yeung.and ether people of greater
worth maybe, but less note, all of whom
might have been and probably were there
en less mciitorieus business than te see
the Pennsylvania editors, their wives,
daughters and sweethearts ; alas ! tee,
their sisters, aunts -and cousins, for the
fatal, eclipse-built and curse-rigged
"Pinafore" cruises even en the Jersey
coast.
' They listened te Smith's address, be
lieved it half, applauded and admired it
all, and wished they could afford te be as
geed ; thev henncd in the hen that the
Lclands provided for them, and the wick-
cdest of them in the presence of the ladies
took his sangarec and water-ice as cheer
fully as he tossed off his brandy and
seltzer or matutinal cocktail long after
the ladies had retired or long before they
were up. Andy Spangler fished of course,
and if he didn't catch all he brought in,
everybody who went with him get tee sea
sick te gainsay lfis report. They rolled
ten pins and plavcu peel net for the
drinks, for Legislator Cooper, who helped
te pass the anti-peel law was with the
party. Amfafter the banquet and while
the" wit was net yet chased out by the
wine, they passed resolutions thanking the
railroads and the Lelauds and Deb Mena
min with real hearty geed will, and when
they went home wiser, they wcre net sad
der men and next year they will go back
te Leng Branch unless somebody can con
clusively demonstrate a bdtter place.

Liumcau Society.
A slated meeting of the society was held
en Satutday, Vice President T. 'li. il.ikcr
and Secretary M. L. Davis in the chairs.
The following donations were made te the
museum and library :
.Museum.
Mr. C. Iiiliku, greijjr, of North Qiievn
street, donated 1-i specimens of foreign
and domestic weeds, in finished blocks;,
some of which are rare, and all are inter
esting. Madagascar box weed, Peruvian
bark weed, Norway pine, Belgian ash,
East Indian palm, Brazilian sour gum,
Flerida deg weed, Seuth Carolina palmet
te, White cedar lrem 311. Lebanon, Pales
tine, Japan oak, Java red rose, Central
American mahogany and two specimens
unnamed, which appear te be Ebony and
Lirnum vita;.
Mr. .1. J. Jfissley. through 3Ir. .1, li.
llefl'er, of Mount, Jey, donated several
larva!, and one of the earth cells of the
"seventeen-year cicada,", the history of
which lias been published in the !.vn:i,r.i-
gkntki:. 1 he specimens evident ly belong
te a future breed, and doubtless te that of
188". They are smaller than the usual
fully developed iusee and are all still in
the larva state.
Mrs. Zell and ethers, exhibited some
very fine and singular (lowers and plants.
The reporter of the proceedings notes,
that if these who have any donations or
exhibitions te make would make a sheit
descriptive record of them, as well as giv
ing their names and locality, it would be
a great aid iu making au intelligent and
satisfacteiy report of them. Otherwise it
must impose additional ciitieal labor en
these who may have the. least time and
ability te de it justice.
Mr. Gee. O. ' Heuse!, Ileri.st, of East
Orange street, donated a luunhjr of the
Larriv the I'upir, tfw.Iiiiiiye and the cocoons
of the Chinese and Japanese common silk
worm (lienhgt uteri). Me. II., during the
present season, lias successfully reared a
breed of these interesting insects, in an
improvised coceonery en the second story
of his residence. Out of 11,000 eggs he
raised 10,000 worms, which spun I lie same
number of cocoons. With the exception
of about twenty individuals of the Jap.in Jap.in
ese variety, all had spun cocoons . prier te
the 21th hist. These cocoons, among the
Chinese variety, are variously colored,
from a pure white, through sulphur, te
pal.i erange, and differ iu form and size.
The greatest uniformity iu color, size and
shape is among the Japanese variety.
Among the mass arc quite a number of
doublets, triplets, quadiuplets, quintuplets
ifcc. Seme theorists had alleged that the
male cocoon is mere oblong than that of
the female, that it is depressed in the
centre (like a double kernelcd peanut) ;
but 3Ir. II., has practically demonstrated
that this theory is very defective. lie
separated and set aside twenty cocoons,
and tjiey developed cbjhleen females and
we males. Mr. H., fed his worms en the
Italian mulberry, and for fifty days during
the last "age," they devoured fifty pounds
of leaves a day.
Mr. H. also donated a specimen of the
" seventeen year cic.ide," which evolved
en his premises the first week in June.
He heard them frequently during the
month, but only succeeded in taking one
specimen. He thinks he must have de
stroyed the. larger portion of the breed in
digging the foundation of his green house
last autumn.
Fer a brief history of this abnormal
breed in this locality, the reader is referred

The eldest man in the world is believed
te have been discovered in New Grenada.
At a recent meeting of physicians in

Siena Mesilla, and who is represented as
being tine hundred and eighty years old.

Frls tit ul Kailread Accident Near MalpaU.
The follewinir additional facts' m-a
Hearncd touching the accident en the
Jioreies railway. A temporary bridge
ever a chasm near Malpais, en the recently
opened Mercles railroad, was washed
away, and a train carrying the Third bat
talion of infantry plunged down the abyss.
Fer some time past the district where it
occurred has been swept by fierce storms.
swelliug the creek into torrents, aud lav
ing waste many fertile fields. The bridgeJ
spanning tee river at tue point mentioned,
although known te be unsafe, was still in
use when the fated Iraiu bearing a
battalion of soldiers attempted its
passage. The result was a crash
as the undermined supports gave
way, and the engine and cars were
hurled headlong down the chasm.
Scarcely had the magnitude of the disas
ter become apparent when a new horror
was added. In the freight vans compris
ing a portion of the train was a consign

rescue of their unfortunate comrades, but

new known that 17 officers "and 197 pii

fall or roasted te death, while fifty ethers
sustained hurts of mere or less serious
character. The train was entirely con

still further prejudice the popular mind
against railway enterprises. However,

of the blame iu this connection.
The latest accounts rejiert that the list
