True and yet like most truisms it has its ex ceptions. The most striking illustration et this is leunil In the reputation acquired by Misliler's'Herb Hitters during the twenty five years it has been before the people. Grewing from small beginnings as'simply a local remedy, it has steadily worked Its way 'e the lorcmest rank aninntr the standard medical preparations of the age : yet nowhere Is It mere highly regarded than sight here at home, in the scenes et its earliest victories ever disease.

The Soldiers' Orphan Scheel. Fer the Isthlliecncep.. Xcar the terminus of Barbara street, en the nethetn limits of this borough, is the home for the sons and daughters of dis abled soldiers, who fought during the late civil war. ' The building faces a spacious yard thickly plauted with trees, which, through the summer months, gives it a very refreshing appearance. It was this place that a few days age we determined te visit, in company with a friend. "We spent a whole day here some two years age en the occasion of an annual examina tien. The examination is near again, aud believing it te be a fact that at soldiers' orphans schools as well as clsewhrce, the boys and girls bring forth their best " bib and tucker," aud tilings in general aic made te wear their Sunday best" when the officials came around wc em braced the opportunity of our friend's invitation te accompany him expecting te bee the school in its everyday appearance, We carried our intention into eiFeet aud new proceed te lay the result of our ob servations before the readers of the Intel i.hsenckk. We took no notes, measured none of the yards, didn't count the noses, but remember being informed that there are 291 girls aud boys in attendance. We saw the school, pupils and teachers, and what we saw and what we thought wc will tell in our own way. Having met the principal, Mr. M. J. Hiecht, a graduate of the Millersville state normal school, at the main entrance, we were conducted thiergh a hall and recita tion room, then te a little room used for a recitation room, very plainly furnished with several benches, cha'iis and black board. Here Miss Ilcitzell was busily conducting a recitation or review, for we were told until examinations begin the pupils will net study any advanced les les eons. It was a class in United States his tory. The young lady had them well booked aud knew hew te show them off te an advantage, impressing us with the opinion that the young lady is well quali fied for the profession in which she is en gaged. We waited, however, in vain for a display of their knowledge of general in formation. After a short time with the class in history, we left the room through another deer and found ourselves in another room somewhat smaller, but net furnished any better. Mr. Wiley had charge of a class of a grade higher than the one we had just heard recite. They told us what they knew of natural pbiles ephy in a very short time ami in a very geed way. They seen branched off te physiology and seemed a little mere familiar with the branch. The pupils showed a readi ness te tell all they knew. We seen re traced our steps through the room where we lirst listened te a recitation, and being led te the room where Miss Morgan was reviewing a class of very small pupils in physiology. They spoke very familiarly of the study, aud if we should award a prize for proficiency that class would cer tainly take the cake. Miss Gallagher was drawing out a class in political geography in a room much larger than' any of the ethers we had visited. We were very much pleased with the way she conducted the recitation. Iustead of asking qttes tiens herself the pupils had that privi lec. Each one was allowed te state a question and then refer it te whom he wished. A lively interest was -kept up throughout the recitation and the method appeared te us a geed incentive. The room in which the principal wields the "birch and rule"' was next visited. It has a capacity of seating less than two hundred pupils. The walls were net dec orated, but things will be " fixed " up nicely for examination day. As it was it was pleasant enough for anyone. Here the students de their studying. Ne study is done In the cx'eniug, a dis advantage net te be overcome at this place. The teachers arc employed at teaching eisiht hours every day. The stu dents ate divided into four sections and for two hours each day each section is absent from school room duties. During this time they are detailed te de work, te assist the heads of the different industrial departments. Thus each child is obliged te study and recite six hours a day. In this room they have chapel exercises every day. We heard them sing here under the dirctieu of Mr. Wiley. Here, tee, the Sabbath school meets every Sunday, Mr. Jehn Mcb'arlaud, superintendent. The rooms throughout the building were clean aud everything was evidently in a geed condition. The building is tee small, making it very inconvenient. Every year each boy is furnished with a suit of dark blue and a pair of pantaloons several shades lighter, and ether clothing necessary te his comfort. Their clothing is kept in one room in a building, ferrning a part of the west side of the boys play ground. In this yard the boys ate allowed te play, aud no one is permitted te leave the premises uulcss by permission. " This is the ground where the boys drill every evening when the weather is favorable. They arc under the supervision of Mr. Page who is manager. In this yard we witnessed a drill for three quarters of an hour. Thcre are three companies, all three are wcli drilled. They drilled under disadvantages. Parts of the surface were covered with sharp stones, and some of the boys being with shoes, some without, interfered much with the step. When the boys get en their best it will add much te their soldierly apppcarance. A yeuug physician of this borough who was with us and the principal, the former having received his military education at Millersville and the latter en the plains of Raphe, asked my friend and me te pass an opinion as te who, in our military .judgment, was the best captain. Singu larly enough Ihcy had selected the same one and thought probably with our en dorsement it would settle the matter. We didn't venture an opinion. Our friend, who didn't knew a captaiu from a corporal, did. He also reached one con elusion, with which we agtee, that thcre is considerable " red tape " connected with the drill. Our friend became quite seri ous about the matter, and it maybe that he will attempt te revise the manual. Fer the present the manager consoled him with the fact that the French have much mere red tape " connected with theirs. The government of the school is as whole, tempered with kindness. It is well disciplined throughout, and geed discipline arises net from distant and cold reserve or stereotyped expressions of love which de net even deceive little boys and girls, who are quick discerners of the human heart. We believe the faculty have shown by their actions that they truly desire the orphans' welfare and for that end they arc faithful ly laboring. The exercise of ever-discipline is cruel and a weak disciplinarian sub dues harmless acts lest control passes from bis feeble grasp. H. Mere About Bats. Editors Intelligencer; I have read with great interest the valuable paperritten by our dis tinguished townsman and naturalist. Dr. S. S. Uathven. upon the character and habits of the bat, printed in yenr Issue et Tuesday evening. One point te which no allusion is made in the doctor's contribution, though mentioned by his correspondent, is as te the reason why peo ple invariably seek te protect their heads upon" the appearance et a bat at close range. The general belief Is entertained bv people that it unc ui mesu iiigut-nying animals sneuiu happen te alight en the head of an unfortunate wight, it would be Impossible te loosen Its held upon the hair, and that It would be nec essary te shave the scalp te get rid et it. Then there is another very prevalent impression iuui uuis curry noxious vermin concealed under their winge, and that their malign habit upon Invading the preclnts or the tidy housewife Is te deposit bed-bugs and things around the preuiis cs. I don't knew whether either of these impressions is correct. Will some one please rise and explain? lONOItAMlS. On re-reading the communication of "J.," and, in connection, that of "Ignor amus," I find that an apology is due from me for net answering mere directly the queries of the former, which, perhaps, might net have necessitated these of the latter. But, I was pressed for time, aud the emission was inadvertent. Te the first query of "J." allow ine te reply that the "heroism" involved in his ceullict with the "monster," would de pend altogether upon his prejudices, or suspicions, in regard te the character of the bat. it might have been heroic in him, but it would net have been heroic in me. As a child, a boy and and a man, I have had mere or less knowledge of the bat for mere than sixty years, and yet I have never known, or heard, of itattackiugany person or thing except insects. I would consider it a far greater act of heroism te conquer a prejudice than a bat. " In war chance may place the laurel wreath upon our brew, and chance may pluck it off again ; but in a ceullict with ourselves we should be resolute, aud the virtuous im pulse will become the victor." Te J.'s second query wc would reply, that we de net think we de net believe the bat a "dangerous creature." We have helped te storm several batteries in our lifetime, and have never known them te essay an attack or a defence. We have never read anything, cither in authenti cated natural history or elsewhere, that they have ever made an attempt te attack their enemies, or defend themselves against invasion. They uniformly make a pre cipitate retreat, when they have sufficient vital power te de se. I confess in reply te J's third query, I cannot tell why "nine out of ten cover their heads the minute theysee a bat," nor why the proportion really de se. It is probably the effect of early imbibed prejudices, and they have never been at any paius te dissipate them ; and "finally" when a bat enters a room through an open deer or a window, draw the sash down from the top, and it will leave the room .of its own accord, after it explores it and finds no insects there. During warm sum mer evenings insects arc attracted by lights buruiiigiit the rooms, and au occas ional bat will fellow au insect there, but they have no sinster designs upon the hu man occupants of the room. Therefore, like "Uncle Teby," I would open the win dew and say as he did te the lly, "Ge iu. peace, the world is wide enough ler thee and me." In reply te"Ignoramus"I would say that I de net think the belief is " general," that bats alight upon people's heads, al though some may entertain such a notion ; and I doubt whether any one can tell whii they belicve it ; nevertheless suah a thing might accidentally occur. Bats arc known te have a remarkably strong affection for their young. Titian Pcalc records that a young bat, half grown, fell from a tree in a publia square iu Philadelphia, which was given te him, aud as he was taking it te the mu seum in the evening the mother bat hover cd around him for two squares, and before he entered the building she alight ed en his breast, from pure affection for her offspring, and allowed hcrselt te be captured without resistance, rather than hi separated from it. It seems te me that if ever a mother animal would manifest a disposition te attack any person or thing, it would be in defense of her offspring. Che female bat has but two mamuitc, and these are located en the breast just as they are iu the genus Heme. Very fro qncntly she has twins, and when she Hies abroad iu quest of feed she carries her young with her, they adhering te her body by the teats, and by affixing the hooked thumbs ou the wing hands and the claws en the hinder feet te the fur that covers her body. If one of these young should happen te fall en a human head, it would be likely te cling as closely as it had clung te .its mother. The necessity of shaving the head te loosen it is doubtless an exag geration. The motion that bats disseminate " bed bugs" hits no confirmation in fact. Bats, like nearly all the subjects of the animal kingdom especially the hairy and feath ered ones are infested by parasites, but they are net bed. bugs. They are a sort of " tick " and only resemble the bed bug in color. They are a branch of the Akacunid or spider class. But of all the bats I have ever seen or handled I have only been able te capture three specimens. They usual! adhere very closely, hide themselves anions the hair and arc net likely te drop off. Filially, nearly all these prevalent notions and impressions iu regard te the bat, are mainly based upon that indefi nite authority popularly known under the cognomen of " They say." Perhaps many et" the prejudices against the bat have come down te us from au ancient period ; their singular structure has afforded poets an emblem of darknrs; and terror, and hence they have consecra ted them te Proserpine, the Queen of Hades. -Esop records the fabled war be tween the birds and beasts, in which he represents the bat as unwilling te declare for cither host, but hovering between both during the fight ; hence it was no longer considered a beast or a bird, and was obliged te avoid appearing abroad by day or until ether animals had gene te repose. But the light of science is rapidly dissipat ing these fabled notions. Fer further details of the common bat aud its cegeners I refer the above named correspondents te vel. 10, page !J of the Lancaster Farmer (Jan. 1S78) and te an essay en the same subject, read before the Linnx'an society, June 20, 1880, and published in the Lancaster Farmer of that month (vel. 12, pp. 100 and 101). That bats, when captured, open their mouths, show their teeth, and "shut down" ou any object inserted between their jaws, is net a normal test of charac ter. They mnst be judged' by what they de from habit, and net by the pressure of extraordinary circumstances. S. S. II. July 4, 1881. Jeseph Maun, a coal train conductor en the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad, a resident of Scranton, brought bis wife down from Scranton te attend a festival at Mount Bethel, Williamsburg, Northampton county, Pa. He ir.ef, his brethcr-in-law,5Stwart Garrison, and they came te blows. Garrison drew a knife and plunged it into Mann's side and then drew it across his right shoulder, sever ing the carotid arteries and thn jugular veins Mann bled te death in about fi ftce n minutes. Garrison escaped. Mr. Randall. Sketched by a Political Opponent. In his newspaper letters " Gath " thus refers te Hen. Samuel J. Randall, whom he met at the college commencement at Carlisle last week : Mr. Samuel J. Randall., late speaker of Congress, talked with me en the ecouo eceuo ecoue ,:o.e pe: .i-ii i.i ....a Wl ITO. ;. no iwiu lutuugii reuusj i vania last Wednesday. He has been ex- hibitiug Themas Jeffersen as the highest type of philanthropist and statesman te the young men of Dickinsen. Of Jeffer son's namesake, Jefferscn Davis, he said, however : "He is a selfish man and want ed te figure before the world as the head of a great empire instead of taking the advice of his generals and saving the lives and substance of his people after they pro nounced military operations te be exhaust ed. If you want te getau insight into the selfish obstinacy of Davis go talk with his vice president, Stephens. Stephens will tell yen that the wisest military heads iu the Confederacy, notably General Lee aud General Johnsten, saw the end of the strife long before they gave it up, and tewanl the last saw it with great appre hension aud thirst for peace. But Davis could net lay down his phantom of power. " Stephens," said Mr. Randall, with a sort of self-confessing smile, for he was of a Whig family also, " Stephens was au old Whig, like Toombs. He has the clear est memory for dates and facts of record I ever drew from. He can tell .you when a bill was introduced thirty years age, hew long it was pending, the points ruling upon it, and its final vote en passage. He is a pure, learned and a patriotic man." Mr. Randall said that the most remark able thing he had found iu Jeffersen's writings was his expression that " he had rather live under newspapers without government than under government with out newspapers." That saying, consider ing the small circulation and wealth of the press in his day, was prophetic lis it was radical. "The press," said Mr. Randall "speaks with a thousand tongues. " He said the late William B. Reed, of Philadelphia, lawyer and writer, was one of the best liens and heads Philadelphia ever had. " Like Mr. Tildeu, Reed influenced peo ple wholly by brain-power, net by atten tions or self interest. " Of Mr. Randall himself I remarked that his influence was exerted through a large wholesome appearance, and a pair of allur i"K jovial black eyes, and a veice of womanly tension and sympathy in its higher notes. He dilates his eyes talking te anybody, with a looking up into their faces of varying enjoyment, appreciation and poetical will. The same face would get a woman a husband at fifty. His voice is mellow in public speaking, with out a harsh note in it. Intense as he may be in leading a party, there is a geed deal of the old Whig conservatism in his social talk. He said of Ferney's lecture ou Jeff Jeff ereon : " He accuses Hamilton of being a lobbyist. I don't believe there is sufficient unimpeachable evidence for it. " Penn sylvania, he remarked, had in her anthra cite coal alone the resources and wealth of a great state. Said I : " Have you get a farm iu the CJitntryV" "Net of my own," he said. " I rent a place in the country for $400 the season. It is cheaper than taking my family off te the seashore, which is very expensive. If I no te Atlantic City or some of the seashore places I am charged mere than I can aflerd, and my people crowded up into little rooms tewanl the top of the houses. Fer $400 I get a geed heuse and ground enough te furnish me with vegetables and give me milk, fresh butter, chickens and eggs. I could net begin te buy land in the region where I new am. A farm a few miles from me sold here the ether day for about $180,000, enough te make the old farmer a very rich man. They are going te cut it up into villa lets. I am about live hundred fret above the tide, which is just the proper height te get geed air and geed water. I get my water by a ram, and it comes out of gravelly soil and is geed. There is a farm, though it is net mine, connected with the place, but we are no trespassers when wc go around it and get the benefit of it. I stay there all summer. I am of that age new that I have done traveling and reaming and my pleasures arc do mestic. My eyes are getting pretty weak. It was as much as I could de last night te read my address, though it was brought up te my eyes by a table I had prepared for it. I always insist en eight heuis sleep in the twenty-four, and if I come short of it one day I sleep out the com plement of tho.re eight hours next day. When I get home te-night," said Mr. Randall. " I shall go te' bed at seven o'clock." I asked him if he suffered with the gout like Speaker Blaine, his predecessor in the speaker's chair. "I de," he said, "but I always attend te my gout when I feel it coming. After you have been accustomed te it. some years you eau tell by the acidity of your system that you are likely te have an at tack. Then is the time te attend te it, for if it get its grip en you you will have a rough time. Loek out for it, particularly when it gets up as high as yenr knees, for the next thing it will be in your thighs, and that is very close te the stomach, where it is fatal. I take Laville," said Mr. Randall. "It isastreng thing, but it is the most efficient or all. First of all things te leek after in gout is te keep your bowels open, and when the gout leaves me aud the acid has departed I can almost feel it, as if a bullet had gene through me." "Hew de you account for Mr. Blaine having the gout when he has been se tem perate?" "Oh ! well, his father or his grandfather may have had the gout.
