Jfemoraat. BELLEPONTE, PA. TJta Largest, Cheapnit and Bet Paper PUBLISHED IN CENTRE COUNTY. The River and Harbor Roguery. _ * The more clearly the facts concern ing the passage of the River and Har bor job come to be understood by the country, the sterner will be the indig nation of honest men of both parties at the manner in which this infamous piece of legislative roguery was con summated. The method of the thing was as great an outrage on public de cency as the thing itself upon public honesty. The defeat of the President's veto was engineered, like a highway robbery, between midnight and morn ing, it being vital to the robbers to get through with their work before cock crow. The bill was driven at full speed through Congress over the veto simply and obviously because thedriv ers knew that if it had not been passed with the haste with which it was pass ed it could not have been passed at all. Nothing can be more scandalous than the unprecedented and furious hurry in which the bill was taken up and huddled through. The traditions of Congress, founded upon a sense of pub lic decency, oblige it to receive re spectfully and with some semblance of consideration a veto message from the President. There is no precedent whatever for the insulting haste with which President Arthur's veto was vetoed by a Congress of his own party. In the House the hill was passed over his head within three-quarters of au hour after the House met. Robeson and Keifer and Hiscock and Page seem to have been aware that in a brutal speed like that of Dick Turpin lay their only chance. Within an hour the bill as passed by the House over the veto of the President was on its way to the Senate! . Here it might have been and should have been ar rested. A single Senator determined to see the Treasury defended against thieves could have compelled delibera tion, and deliberation, as the jobbers in the House had show that tliey knew, would have been fatal to the bill. An appropriation bill was under discussion at the time when the bill as repassed was received from the House. Under the courtesy of the Senate, whatever isjin order at any time is in order at all 'times. There was nothing to prevent a Senator, in speaking to the Appropriation bill, from taunting the Senate with its eagerness to get at the hill which provided for carrying out a scheme of public plunder, not withstanding the objections of the Presi dent, and from attacking and exposing the monstrous scheme. One resolute Senator could have procured the post ponement of the bill until the next day, and the next day the country would have been heard from. The next day the country was heard from, but before the next day the mischief had been done. .Many of the men who took part in this galloping rascality are already sorry for their share in it now that they authentically know the opin ion of the country upon their perfor mance, though it is to he hoped they are not so sorry as they will he before their action is forgotten by their con stituents. But at the time when they gave their votes, which looked like a defiance of the unanimous sense of the country, it is to be borne in mind that they had had no means of learning what the sense of the country was whatever. The veto was not the de liberate defiance of public opinion it seemed to be, for there was no delibera tion in it. The veto was net even read. Not a single Senator who voted to pass the bill over it knew what reasons the President had given for vetoing it. Not one of them, swept along in the rush of the leaders of the rascality, had sense or courage enough to steady himself for a moment and ask, we will not say what his duty re quired him to do, but even what the sense of the country would be in re gard to his action. It was not only in the indecent haste with which Congress vetoed the Peesi dent's veto that the traditions of Con gress and especially of the Senate were disregarded. Senator Logan, who The World does not regard as a shining light or a model ofSenatorial dignity, but who does not lack for courage and who upon this occasion was lucky or sensible enough to be on the right side, pointed out one of them*. When a two-thirds vote is required to pass a bill, a pair to be valid must be a pair of one member opposed to the bill with two members in its favor. Senator Logan asserted, and the assertion was not challenged, that this had always been recognized as the rule of the Senate, and yet, he added, " this bill has been passed by pairing one Sena tor with another." In other words, the opposition to the bill was in great part collusive. It is easy to verify Senator Logan's assertion. There were forty-one votes in favor of the passage of the bill over the veto and sixteen votes against it. Five Senators an nounced that they would have voted in the negative hut that they. were paired. If these five Senators had in sisted upon the rule cited by Mr. Lo gan, and voted, the vote would have atood forty-one in favor of the bill and twenty-one against it, and the bill would have Men lost. One Senator avho permitted his vote against the measure to count as only half a vote instead of insisting, as was his right, that it should count as a vote, was Lapliam, paired with Senator Lamar, and another Senator was paired with Senator Hill, whereas it is perfectly well known that Senator Hill's seat is vacant and that the Senator who was paired with him might as well have been paired with Stephen A. Douglas. Wood-Pulp Milller was of course in favor of the bill, as he has been in fa vor of every job that has appeared in either house of Congress since he has been a member of either. A man who sits in Congress simply as the guardian and representative of a Treasury boun ty by which he personally profits must be prepared to roll logs with the' ad vocates and attorneys not only of all other bounties but of all other roguer ies whatsoever. It is to be hoped that the people of the State of New York will not forget either the share of Lap ham or the share of Miller in this busi ness. It is not so distinctly any business of ours, but we may call the attention of the people of Massachusetts to the ease of Dawes. As might perhaps have been expected, Dawes contrived to make this vote the occasion not only of an act of treason to public honesty but of an exhibition of petty maligni ty quite unique. For Dawes, who had voted against the passage of the bill when it first came up, actually voted iu favor of the the bill when it came up to be passed over the President's veto. What had happened in the mean time to change the opinion of Dawes ? Nothing, except the fact that the Presi dent had vetoed the bill. This bill was more than enough for Dawes. The President had offended Dawes by ap pointing Mr. Worthingtou to be Col lector of the Port of Boston, the ob jections of Dawes notwitsauding. So Dawes, representing the Pilgrims and pretending to vote on his honor and his conscience, deliberately took his revenge upon the President by voting away twenty millions of other people's money intrusted to his honor and his conscience, and which he had been opposed to voting away until he learn ed that the President was also opposed to voting them away. There are sundry ravelled ends of this lliver and Harbor job to he [tick ed up hereafter. But we are not like ly to come upon anything more base than this action of Dawes, nor upon anything more characteristic of the Pharisees of whom Dawes is a type and an exemplar.— Nm> York- World. The Dying (Jeorgia Senator. SEXATJOI! 1111.1.'s CALM AI'I'KOACII TO CER TAIN DEATH. In modem annals there has not been a death so full of horrors as that which Georgia's great orator and statesman, Benjamiu Harvey Hill, is now suffering, nor has the resignation and Christian philosophy exhibited been excelled. Slowly dying of one of the most loathsome of diseases, he is yet cheerful, patient and resigned. Talking to-day with his physician and son-in-law, Dr. Ridley,/V learned the details of the case aspresented. The patient is put to night about eight o'clock willfulhypodermic injection of morphine and does uot awake until eleven o'clock the follow ing morning. He is then assisted to dress, and sits during the day iu an easy chair, placed near the window of a pavillion attached to the uorth side of his residence, with a window and door opening to the east on a veranda. There he sits the whole day, the sub ject of the most assiduous attentions from his devoted family. He reads a little in the newspapers, his mail and some devotional works, writes down his passing impressions, indites letters and communicates with those to whom his almost inarticulate murmurings arc unintelligible. Three grains of morphine are ad ministered daily, the patient never being allowed to come thoroughly from under the influence. His food consists of milk, into which the yolks of eggs have been beaten ami a little whisky added. About three quarts of this mixture is passed into the patient's stomach every day through u lube, no portion of the fluid touching his palate. The cancer, for such it is acknowl edged to be by all hut those who have, not had any connection with the case, has destroyed all the tissues of his throat and mouth on the left side, as well asthe lower jaw or suh-maxiliary bone. The opening is so large that two or three fingers pass freely up into the mouth from below, and the palate can be seen when the patient is lying down and one approaches him from the feet. The outer carotid artery is exposed and pulsation is plainly seen. The soft or connective tissue has been eaten away, and only such tough,elas tic substauces as compose the walls of the artery are left intact. What is left of the tongue is attached to the right side by a very slender ligament, and constaut fear is felt that it will become detached and fall into the patient's throat when asleep and thus end his suffering while yet sufficient strength exists for a further continu ance of the contest with the dread destroyer. His mouth is kept filled with absorbent and antiseptic cotton, which is frequently changed, as is the dressing on the outside. For three years Mr. Hill suffered with an ulcer ous sore on his tongue before he told even his wife. Then, by advice of his friends, he consulted Dr. Bayard, an uncle of the Delaware Senator, who practices homoeopathy in New York. For eight months this physician treated him and reported constant improve ment, hut the patient was growing worse, and he finally realized that he was in danger aud placed himself in the hands of Dr. Gross and the Phila delphia Hospital staff. No internal remedy is now giveD, nor has any been administered since the abandonment of the French can cer cure, which consisted in the injec tion into the blood of purified carbolic acid, tho object being to destroy the cancerous germs in the blood. The evidences of the sufferer's entire resig nation are numerous. The final change, it is thought, will come from sheer exhaustion. If tho morphine treat ment was suspended lie would soon sink from the effects of pain. Now all that can ho done is to alleviate the suffering and prolong the few days which, in spite of his terrible condi tion, lie seems to prize more than those upon which he gained his glory. —New York Times. "The Star-Spangled Hanner." The Woman Dead who Made the Flag that Inspired the Song. lii New York, .Inly 20th, Mrs. Mar garet Sanderson, tlie lady who made the flag for Fort Mcllenry, which in spired Francis Scott Key to write "The Star-Spangled Banner," died at the ago of eighty-five years. At the time of the bombardment ofFort McHenry in 1814, Mrs. Sanderson, who was on ly fifteen years old, made tho Hag out of costly silk will) her own hands, and presented it to Major Armistead, the commander of the fort, just before the British appeared in the bay. During the subsequent engagement the Hag lloatcd over the fort. After the war the flag was returned to its maker, and the original Star Spangled Ban ner is now one of the treasures of the Sanderson family. The State of Mary land has made several unsuccessful ef forts to buy the flag, but the venera ble lady could never he induced to part with it. During the celebration of the 150 th anniversary of the found ing of Baltimore in 1880, a special committee was sent to New York to induce Mrs. Sanderson to go to Balti more with her flag and allow it to be displayed in the procession. Although a special car was placed at her disposal Mrs. Sanderson, owing to feeble health could not go, but sent her Hr.g, the historic I'raginents of silk being placed in the special car in charge of a detec tive. This occurrence will recall to many the peculiar circumstances under which the son, "The Star Spangled Ihinuer," was composed. On the return of British to their vessels after the capture of Washing ton, (August 2-1, 1814), they carried with them I)r. Jicuues, un influential and well known physcian of Upper Marlborough, Md. llis friends begged for his release, but Admiral Cockburu refused to give him up, aud sent him on board the flag-ship of Admiral Cochrane. Francis 8. Key, a resident of Georgetown, D. C., well known for Ids affability of manner, was. requested to go to Cochrane as a solicitor for the release of the doctor. He consented, and the President granted him per mission. In company with John 8. Bkiuuer, a well known citizen of Bal timore, he went in the cartel-ship Min den under a flag of truce. They found the British ships at tire mouth of the Potomac, preparing to attack Balti more. Cochrane agreed to release Beans, but refused to let him or his friends return. They were placed on board the Bur prise, where they were courteously treated. When the fleet went up Patapsco Bay to make the attack, they were sent to the Minden with a guard of Marines to prevent their landing and conveying information to their countrymen. The Minden was an chored within sight of Fort McHenry which commanded the entrance to the harbor of Baltimore, and from her deck the three friends observed the fierce bombardment of the fortress, which soon ensued. It ceased before the dawn (September 14th). The anx ious Americans did not know whether the fort had surrendered or not. They awaited the appearance of daylight with painful suspense. In the dim light of the opening morning they saw through their glasses the star spang led banner yet waving in triumph over the fort, and soon heard the fate of the land expidition against Baltimore and preparation of the discomfited Britisli for speedy departure. When the fleet was ready to sail, Key and bis friends were released, and returned to the city. It was dur ing the excitement of the bombard ment, and when pacing the deck of the Minden, between midnight and dawn, that Key composed the popular song, ''The Star Spangled Bunner," the first stanza of which expresses live feelings of thousands of eye witnesses of the scene. The rude substauce of the song was written on the back of a letter which Key happened to have in his Kicket. The night after he returned to altimorc he wrote it out in full and read it to his uncle, Judge Nicholson, one of the defenders of the fort, and asked his opiuoin of it. The pleased Jndge took it to the printing office of Captain Benjamin fides, ami caused it to be printed in hand bill form. Sam uel Sands, living in 1876, set up the song in type, printed it, and distribu ted it among the citizens. It was first sung by Charles Durang at a restau rant next door to the Holiiday Street I Theatre, Baltimore, to an assemblage of patriotic defenders of Baltimore, aud after that, nightly at the Theater, and everywhere iu public and private. 0, H ay can you by the dawn'M early light What H<> proudly wo Irailod at the twilight'ii l!t gleaming ?

Then conquer we must, when our cause it IH just, And thin he our motto, "lii God is our trust And the star-spangled banner in triumph hliull wave O'er the laud of the free and the home of the brave! The Mound ISuilders Dr. j.sauicl G. Brinton lias sought to answer the question Who were the mound-builders? by inquiring whether and to what extent the tribes who in habited the Mississippi Valley and the Atlantic Slope were accustomed to make works similar to the mounds. It is clear from, several accounts that tho Iroquois were accustomed to construct burial mounds, and their neighbors, the various Algonquin tribes, occasionally raised heaps of soil. The Cherokees do not appear to have been real mound-builders, but they ap preciated the convenience of mounds, and put their more important build ings upou tliem when they had them at hand. The tribes among whom we can look for descendants of the mound-builders with the greatest prob ability of success are the tribes of the Chahta-Mdskokee family, which in cludes the Choctaws, Chickasaws, Creeks, Seminoles and Natchez. They "seem to have been a building race, and to have reared tumuli not con temptible in comparison even with the mightiest of the Ohio Nalley." Cabe za de Vaea, who accompanied the ex pedition of Pamfilo deNarvaez in 1527 mentions a place where the natives were accustomed to erect their dwell ings on a steep hill and uig a ditch around its base as a means of defence. All the accounts of those who partici pated in Ferdinand de .Soto's expedi tion describe the Southern tribes as constructing artificial mounds, using earthworks for defence, excavating ditches, canals, etc. Thus, La Vega tells us how the caciques iu Florida formed earth into a kind of platform "two or three pikes in height, tho summit of which is large enough to give room for twelve, fifteen or twenty houses to lodge the cacique aud his attendants. At the foot of this eleva tion they mark out a square place ac cording to the size of the village, around which the leading men have their houses." Biedma says that the caciques of a certain region " were accustomed to erect near the house very high mounds (tertres ires e/evees) aud there were some who placed their houses ou top of these mounds." The liuegeuots who attempted to settle iu Florida described similar structures as marking the site of the houses of the chief. William Bartram the bot anist, who visited the Creeks in the lust century, found tliut they hud "chunk-yards" surrounded by low mounds of earth, at one end of which, sometimes on a moderate ar tificial elevation, was the chief's dwell ing, and at the other end the public council house. Large burial-mounds are also spoken of as being made by these tribes. Many of the mouuds in the Gulf States are very large. One in the Etowah Valley, Georgia, has a capacity of 1,000,000 cubic feet. The Messier mound, near the Chattahoochee Iliver, contains about 700,000 cubic leet, and is twice as lurge as the great mound near Miamis burg, Ohio. Dr. Bhutan's views are parallel, if not identical with those worked out by the late Mr. Lewis 11. Morgan iu his " Houses and House life of the American Aborigines." (Jot the Hotter of Iliiii. "Is this seat engaged ?" he asked of the prettiest girl in the car, and find ing it wasn't, he put his sample box in the rack and braced himself for solid enjoyment. "Pleasant day," said the girl, coming for him before he could get his tongue unkinked. "Most be wildering day, isu't it?" "Ve-yes, miss," stammered the drummer. He wasn't in the habit of playing pitcher to this kind of a match, and the posi tion of catcher didn't fit him as tight as his pantaloons. "Nice weather for travelling," continued the girl; "much nicer than when it was cold. Are you perfectly comfortable?" "Oh, yes, indeed," murmured the drummer. "Glad of it," resumed the girl, cheer fully. "You don't look so. Let rae put my shawl under your head, won't you ? Hadn't you rather sit next to the window and have me describe the landscape to you ?" "No, please," he muttered ; "I—l'm doing well enough." "Can't I buy you some peanuts or a book ? Let rae do something to make the trip happy! Suppose I slip my arin around your waist! Just lean for ward a trifle ao I can !" "You'll— you'll bave to excuse me!" gasped the wretched drummer; "I —I don't think you mean it 1" "You look SD tired," she pleaded ; "wouldn't you like to rest your head on my shoulder? No one will notice. Just lay your head right down and I'll tell you stories." "No—no, thanks! J won't to-day! Fin very comfortable, thank you!" and the drummer looked around hope lessly. "Your scarf-pin is coming out. Let me fix it. There !" and she ar ranged it deftly; "at the next station I'll get you a cup of tea and when we arrive at our destination you'll let me call on you V'and shesmiled an anxious prayer right up into his pallid counte nance. "I think I'll go away and smoke," said the drummer, and haul ing down his grip-sack he made for the door knee-deep in the grins show ered around him by his fellow-passen gers. "Strange," murmured the girl to the lady in front of her. "I only did with him just what he was making ready to do with me, and, big and strong as he is, he couldn't stand it. I really think women have stronger stomachs than men, and, besides that, there isn't any smoking-car for them to fly to for refuge. I don't under stand this thing." But she settled back contentedly all the same, and at a convention of drummers held in the smoker that morning it was unani mously resolved that her scat was en gaged, so far as they were concerned, for the balance of the season.—Chim <jo Time*. The Chiiiß-pHM. SOME OUHEKVATIONS OF A RACE OF I'F.Cf -1.1 A R I'EOI'I.E. In our journey from Sayang, in Yunnan, to Bhamo, in Burmah, we became acquainted with a race of mountaineers who are called Kacheen bv the Burmese, but who call them selves Chingpos. They are a small, delicate people, whose brightly-beam ing eyes contrast strongly with their reserved behavior. The faces of the men as well as those of the women I cannot hs called unhandsome. The head is oval and well-shaped, the eyes are horizontal, the nose is strong and straight, the ruddy lips are finely out, and the teeth are blackened with betel juice. All the hard work among tlie Ka cheen is done by the women and girls, who are up in the morning at their household duties while the men are still in bed. The woman does not dare to raise her eyes when she speaks with her husband or her employer. She has no concern about the business or enter prises that lie is engaged in, but con siders everything good and unques tionable that he orders ; and the sub jection of the women goes to the extent that the death of one is lamented as a pecuniary loss, because the laboring force is diminished by it; and a family that has several daughters is for that reason considered rich. The women are all the time at work—cutting down trees, splitting wood and bring ing it to the house, cutting roads through the thickets, driving the cattle to pasture, cleaning the house, getting the meals and weaving cloth. The men perform no manual labor; or, at most, will onco in a while go out into the field aud show the women in a rough way how the tillage ought to he done. Their principal business is to visit their neighbors, to drink sheru (a sweet drink made from rice) and smoke opium. Only in ease of press ing need will they take their mules and their women and go to Bhanio and get loads of goods to take to China. Marriages among the lower classes are mere business affairs, in which the dowry and physical strength of the bride are the first considera tions. Among the higher classes wed dings are regarded as important events, and are distinguished by particular usages and ceremonies. A Precious Stone Found in Georgia. Near Norcross there resides au old German geologist who loves to live among the peculiar specimens of min eral and vegetable matter which he has unearthed aud housed. He is an elderly gentleman of little sociability, hut of great mental acquirements. His physical cndurunce is simply as tonishing. For days at a time he wanders over the hills and through the dales near his home, collecting rocks and stones, limbs and roots, the properties and qualities of which are unknown to all but himself. The room in which his collection is is wonderful. In one receptacle are arranged a number of Btones whose bright rays remind the observer of diamonds. In the centre of this long room there rests a stone half the size of a hen egg, which was picked up by the owner months aud mouths ago. It was found by its owner one rainy afternoon. Uor nearly a week he had been on a tramp through the bills and dales near his home, and weary with his ceaseless toil, he was wending his way home, when his eye fell upon something from which the rays of the sun were scattered in a thousand di rections. With little thought of what ho was doing, the geologist stooped down and picked up the object. It was nearly the siae of a hen's egg, and of an irre gular shape. It was covered in many places with thick, heavy clay, which was removed with great care. It was found to be exceedingly hard, and whenever struck with a hard sub stance gave forth but little sound. It was almost colorless with hue and then a tinge of green. # lts form was that of an octahedron, but some of the faces or sides were inclined to be convex, while the edges were curved. It was subjected to acids and alka lies without experiencing any fierceoti ble change. Some friends induced him to place it on the market, and only a day or two ago he received a letter from a diamond dealer in New York offeriii" him $46,000 for it. Franklin Tierce's First Case.-lion the-Voung Lawyer Won a Case Against Ilie Facts. The first step made by President Franklin Pierce towards distinction is thus related. One man had stabbed another in an affray, the knife enter ing the left side, below the eleventh rib and in consequence the injured man had died. The murderer was to lie tried, and some tyro could avail himself of the opportunity to defend the doomed man. The task fell to young Pierce, just then entering the profession of law. The ease was so clear that most lawyers of even more experience would have been content with a moving appeal in the jury. Not so the embryo executive, who set about in good earnest, dispite all evi dence, to prove the man innocent. First, he adroitly managed to have the trial postponed three mouths, lie then went to the ofiiee of a phvseiau and asked him if he would take a student, imimating his desire to pur sue a course of study in physiology. The practitioner started at the propo sition, but responded in the affirma tive, and Pierce began to study, and he persevered for the intervening three mouths, taking care to make himself thoroughly couversant with the human frame, and charging his memory with all technicalities so that la* had"every tfiin at his tongue's end. Tl/ trial' eommeueed in usual form, three sur geons were sworn, who testified that the man thus wounded must have died of the wounds inflicted. At lengtli Pierce was permitted o eru— examine the surgeons. Jle demanded what tissues and membrane the knife must have passed. The surge ms, who had not supposed it incumbent upon them to "study up," could not explain; they were of course, positive that th victim was murdered and that the prisoner ought to be punished : hut under the close questioning of Pierce, they halted and blundered. This pre pared the way for thedefense to make an effective plea. He cautioned the jury against being swayed by men so ignorant that they could not even till the nanus of certain tissues, and thence cunningly argued that the victim < i I uot die of the wound, and that the prisoner was not, then fore, guilty of murder. I bus lie won upon the jury, and to the amazement ol'all theguiliy man was acquitted. ♦ VanderliiltN Car. I THE MAGNIFICENT I'AI.ACB CAR OF THE NEW YORK RAILROAD kINU. It is said that Mr. Win. 11. Van derbilt's ear is the most expensive private vehicle of any kind in the world. Its cost is said to have been $40,000. It is by no means the most complete aid serviceable, and it has no need to he, tor it suits the pleasure of that railroad monarch to ride only in the daytime. If he ever departs from this rule, the Wagner sleeping ear Duchess is couphd on behind his coach, and nothing remains to lie wished for then by night or by day. His cur is named tile Yaudcrbih; and whereas the exteriors of all other private cars are modest in color and simple in ornament, this is yellow,and bears oil each of its sides three oil paintings in panels. Oue represents the Grand Central depot, another the entrance to the Fourth avenue sunken track, another Niagara Falls, and others Iligh bridge uud the {Suspen sion bridge. It is longer than a Pull man ear, and its wiudows are wide and long. It was built in the shops of the New York Central railroad. The interior suggests a plainer taste, and, though every appointment is of the best, comfort was more sought there than elegance. One half the interior is a grand saloon, walled in by big plate glass wiudows tastefully draped, and furnished with a table and plush covered arm chairs and lounges. This saloon serves as an observation room and dining room as well. The other half of the ccach is sub-divided into smaller apartments —a kitchen and pantry together, a Baker heater iu a closet by itself, with pipes running from it ail around the sides of the car, a passage way, a toilet room and a priv ate sitting room, containing upholster ed furniture. One of the end plat forms is very wide, and when the lids over the steps are shut down there is room upon it for several arm ohairs, in which Mr. Vanderbilt and his guests may sit out of doors and get an obstructed view of tbe couutry theyfl may be passing through.
