FRIEND EDITOR :-I ObSOTVO, in your paper
of yesterday, an allegation that Sviartlimore
College, in Delaware county, "is the only one
in the country under the control of the Society,
of Friends."
'ICOW, I had'been really of opinion that there
bad existed in our State, for some shOatid
thirty years or so, an instttlitien called Haver
ford, College, indirectly under the control of
"The Philadelphia Monthly , Meeting for the
Western District," though not that branch
soffietimes called Hicksites; that this institu-
S on after being twice" laid down, had been•
re-established by its alumni—the best possible
assurance : first, of its usefulness; and, sec
ondly, of its future permanence. I- thought
that this institution had possessed an observer
tory, with good instruments and inedern ~imp
rovements ; that its studies had a wide
extension, and that observations ,in several'
brandies of science bad been , made ; there,
which had'met witlin warm reception in some
bodies not entirely unknown, as' the Smithso
nian and the American Philosophical SOciety.
I thought that'from this college • had issued'
professors of' high reputation on •both conti
nents, and that it bad not very long since
received tbe rare present (I have heard of :
only, four in the United States) of a copy of
the magnificent Russian imperial edition of
the Sinitic mantvicript, now recognized as
one of the only thine pre-en:anent
and the oldest of them, for the text of the
Setiptares. • - - -

A Semantic Story—The Old Boat Still
Floatiog.
A correspondent of the Geneva Courier re
lates the following story of the Kate 'Morgan,
the little steamer which for more than a gen
eration has plied on Cayuga Lake, her owners
obeying the behest of the first proprietor, to
" run her till she busts :"
, Before the Chancellor Livingstonestemmed
the current of the Hudson, yet after the little
Clermont bad stirred the quiet waters of the
Collect Pond the whistle of the Kate Morgan
_awoke..tbe_echoesiathe_Tart,.fthatd_n_Glen,__aaid
fli
.her- paddle-wheel dashed e - spray- upon
Cayuga bridge. There is a bit of romance at
tacbingto hart:fame and building.
;Old General Morgan, of Revolationary
fame, had a noble estate on the eastern:bank
of the lake, not far from where the r present
Wells College now-stands. Between his only
d'hughter, a loirely girl of eighteen, and young
Fulton,had long existed a tender attachment.
which, hoWever, the poverty and obscurity of-
Robertt led the General to severely , frown upon.-
Fulton went to New York. He labored long
years in — perfeeting his invention ; his day of
triumph, came, and then he wrote to the stern
father relating his success and asking for the
daugiter's band.
ay," wrote 'back the incredulous old
soldier, "I'll believe - what I see, with my own
eyes. Come - you back, scapegrace, to the
lake ; build and sail a steamboat past my own
door, and then, and - not till - then, - -shallyou
have my daughter Kate."
Need I say that Fult6n- came oyfully . back,
that a steamer was built as rapidly - as circum
stances would permit. that she was launched.
and in due time did sail triumphantly past the.
General's door! But - let me add that, accord
ing to an exiaress stipulation made - by the sly
- Robert irrease e - succeedebennthe 'Kate
Morgan sheered in towards the General's dock
a small' boat was seen pushing out containing
the original Kate, her grim father, and a gentle
man in clerical vestments. They .. were soon
onboard, and• there, amid the waving of flags,
the ringing of bells, and the blowing of whist
les, the proud inventor and his
_prouder bride
were made one. A glorious sweep up' and
down the lake completed the first bridal trip by
steamlever known in this country.
Before we leave this historical boat let us
go below a moment. Here are the old
fashioned engines, inscribed Treman, Cart
wright & Co." They were the first erf.,c , ine
builders in the United States, and furnished
'both Fulton's and Fitch's boats. Cartwright
was the father of the well-known Peter Cart
wright, the Western backwoods preacher.
Glance now at the cabin. Its upholstering
was furnished by A. T. Stewart, at that time
an enterprising young ,tradesman, keeping:a
little seven by nine shop:, in Chambers street.
Though-the lustre of the goods has long since
passed away, its durability remains to attest
to the honesty aid good judgment of the
young dealer, and by which he has since risen
to be the foremost merchant of our country.

GREAT RAILROAD IMPROVEMENT.
Change of Route of the P. W. and B. R.
B.—. The Work to Commence Imme
diately.
The Delaware County American says :
" The long talked of change in the bed of
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad from the vicinity of Chesterito Phila
delphia, so as to avoid the marshy low lands
adjoining the river, is about to be commenced
in 4arnest, and the grading and work on the
bed of the new road, it is • now promised, will
be completed before the frost sets in. The
rails will not be laid until next spring, allow
ing the bed time to settle. The new route will
leave the old one immediately after crossing
the Ridley creek bridge, near Chester, and
will directly seek the uplands, - striking the .
Chester pike at Muckinapotas - Creek, passing
through the more populous portions of Ridley
and Darby townships, and also through Darby
borough. By this change the company will
reap many advantages, and the facilities for
travel will be greatly enhanced---The road
between'Chester and Philadelphia has never
fully met expenses, and the flooding Of the
track along the river added annually to the
cost. It is now proposed to lay three tracks,
one of them to be used exclusively for travel
between Chester and Philadelphia, the trains_
to connect the two points every thirty min
utes. Tbe other tracks will be , devoted to the
regular business of the road. If this pro
gramme is.fully carried out, it will greatlyin
crease the advantages to all the eitizeug of
Chester, or along the, line of the new route,
and the consequent easy and quick communi
cation with the city will induce rapid' 13 ettle
inent; and thus add to the growth and
prosperity of the county generally. Darby
borough will be especially benefited,, and will
doubtless awake to new life and activity. The
credit of the change is largely due the unceas
ing efforts of Wm. D. B.- Serrill, Richard
Thatcher t and other prominent citizens of
that vicinity. The probable damages along
the line of the now route have been canvassed,
and are reasonably low—the citizensgenerally
being public-snirited, and' making allowances
for. the increMe to the value of.real-estate,
'which is sure ter follow 'the 'enterpriise. We
'hope soon to hear that the work has been ac
tually commenced, and have no doubt of the
ability and the will of the company , to push it
yigorously. This section of the road will-be
in all respects first-elms, the intention,. being
not to permit it to oroSs any highway, road,
or lane, at, grade."

YOKOHAMA. Japan, May 15,--We are at the
close of a religions'• Japanese festival called
Malsouri,'"ooeurring once in five years,
being;ordered by'government to be held some
times in one place and sometimes in another.
This year Yokohama was Selected. It would
be impossible to describe all that is going on
so as. to give any kind of idea of the perform
ances, hut I will say a few words about It
which I hope will not be uninteresting.
The festival began \last Friday, and ends to
night, thus lasting three days. For the first
time, I noticed that no work was being done
to-day by the Japanese; usually the 'coolies,
carpenters and other mirkmen'work steadily,
and shopkeepers go on - trading as Usual, work
going on. Sunday• here the same as on week
days:;but to-day all kind of Work has been
entirely suspended, except by the chow-chow
merchants, all .the tea-houses being in full
blast; anti lotsrif cakes and other chow-chow
bet ? eaten, and tea and saki being drunk
fre The Growl, in, the narrow streets is immense,
and it is wonderful to think that all these
-people must live, must eatand drink and sleep
somewhere. All are in holiday attire, the
costumes • of some of the women and girls
being very handsome, the colors;brilliant,
and often their silk , under-dresses are beauti
fully and. elaborately_mbroidered. The belts
worn by, the femalea are almost - inVatiably; -
even in ordinary times, very handsonie, ant;
are so expensive that it often takes a years
earnings to buy one, Its the Japanese do riot
make money very fast from their trades. a.
In front of every house has been hung paper
lanterns, which are lighted at night, making a
beautifu rifest. The honses' are i
all open n
Japan, with rare eXceptions, and last night the
inmates♦ were' all enjoying, themselves with
their friends; dinner parties going on,i danc
ing and singing in their own style; the shops
(in fact, all houses here are shops of one kind
or another) are decorated with screens, some
of them exceedingly pretty,and artificial flow--
em, making a very pretty appearance:
Images of gods and goddesses are being_ear
ried around on carts, the images standing on
struoturetbsome of them twenty-five feet high,
and gorgeously dressed in embroidered silks,
the pedestals being highlypolished and elab
orately carved, but in the Japanese grotesque
style. One of these images represents the sun,
with gilt rays and blue clouds, and birds fly
ing - around, and the.national bird,_ the stork,
conspictious.—At-inght-these-images--ar:
putunder temporary covers. 'Accompany
ing these, images are men, younn and
, - children, gaily dressed, and fifes and
drums keeping up an incessant din; for it
is not music. On platforms, carried around
by coolies--some of themrequiring forty
coolies to carry them-girls dressedin costumes
that must be seen-they cannot be described,
so peculiar are they ; so odd and yet so ,1 really
splendid-their faces curiously painted, some
of thein with only onabolor-tieshonlorz-sothe

again put down, another performance takes
place, and so on. The crowd in the streets is

TUE MURDER. AT NIAGAIIi.
A Loits•-.Standing Fend-- 7 11ilmdylsni and
. . . .
The Hantittoa. Spectator of Tuesday has the
following in relation to the shooting affray at
the Falls on Friday of last week:
'The Tong-standing feuds between the rival
establishments at Niagara Fails have ended,
as might have been `expected, in a murder,
and possibly in two. On Friday, it seems that
the sons of Mr. Saul Davis had descended the
embankment for the , purpose of obtaining
some photographic views. While there it is
said that some of the colored employes belong
ing to , the establishment' of Mr. Barnett,
who keeps the museum, a little eastward of
Davis's, commenced throwing stones at them,
whereupon Edward Davis drew a revolver
and fired, the ball entering the left breast of
one of the negroes, named, Price. He tottered
to the house, and died iu .a few minutes. He
leaves a widow and four children. A party of
the dead man's friends or relatives then assem
bled, and a sort of .free fight took plabe with
the opposite faction. The result was that
another colored man named Burke, attached
to the Davis party, was•so badly stabbed that
he.,is not eXpected to recover, and several of
the combatants received flesh wounds. Young
Davis was promptly arrested. .
It is not usual to carry deadly weapons - in
Canada ender ordinary circumstances, and the
fact that the revolver was so ready at hand on
this occasion is a significant indication of•the
social condition of the locality. The fact is
-that the conditiou'of things at _Niagara Falls,
has long 'been a standing reproach to the'
country. some regulations were made a short
time ago by the Government, which it was,
hoped would curb the evils complained of,
and 'since that time there has been the
outward appearance of quiet, and no com
plaint has been heard of: But the superfluous
energy which once found employment- in
such practices as were revealed • in the
latehbel suit which Davis instituted against

THE COOLIE EXPERIMENT.
The Chines') hi Messachusettai.
Rev. WashingtOn Gladden writes from
North Adams, Mass., to the Independent
„as
follows concerning the Chinese shoemakers
and the Orispins: • •
One thing I think is f•retty certain. The
question willleave a peaceful solution. Neither
the Chinamen nor theirepiployers will suffer
violence. The Crispins have had time to think
the matter over, .and they have, had the wis
dom to nonchade ttiat any such attempt would
damagethem more than the Chinamen.
The effect of this Immigration upon the in
terests of labori people in my judg
ment, be less prejudicial than many of them
at present fear. hese ChitlaMen will not be
satisfied veryloug with the small stipend they
are ready, to ~work for in the beginning.
Dwelling among us; their wants will multiply,
and they,will need larger wages in order to
live. A.nd,'if by the abundance of labor - the
products of labor shall be .'cheapened, the
working people of this country may be no
worse off after all. .
'lt is likely, however, that this experiment
will driveniany of our Working people into
•eoOpetation Already the' Men whose places
have been filled by Chinamen have bargained
for a factory in'll'orth Adams, and propose to
be their o*n employers •henceforth. In that
solution of the - problem every one rejoices.
The foresight, the patience, the economy that
worldngmen will learn in this way will be of
incalculable benefit to them. And, if the in
troduction of Coolie laborers shall result in de
livering our American workmen from the
thraldom of the wages system, and in setting
;them towork for themse'lves,tbe ultimate gain
to theta and the nation will be beyond compu
tation.
_ The moral aspects of the question, so far as,
they appearto Us,' are hopeful. These are
mostly young men, free from all vices, •very
few, if any of them, use 'either ,tobacca_nr.
epium. They are bright,happy young fellowa,
respectful and orderly-in their behavior, and
eager to learn not only the art of shoemaking.
but also the mysteries of English speech. In
the former art only a feiv-of-them can receive
instruction at a time ; and, as i visited their
quarters this afternoon, I found those who
'were off duty amusing themselves in a variety
of ways. Some were mending their clothes ;
others were playing a game with counters upon
a diagram resembling that used in the Yankee
game of fox and geese ;- some mere at work
with the numerical frames employed by them
in arithmetical computation ; while a large
number, lying in their couches or seated
around—the-tables-11r their---dining-roomi-with
elates and primers in their hands, or grouped
before two or three primary charts that hung
upon the.wall, were learning the letters of the
English alphabet and their simplest combina
tions. When I showed some interest in what
they,were doing, they crowded •around me_ . ,
eager and thankful for the smallest help in
their studies. Their desire to acquire our lan
guage-arnountaLto a craving, and every person
who visits_their quarters is quickly impressed
into the service. of instruction.
Of this hunger for knowledge' WC mean to
take-immediate -advantage. Mr. Pike, of the
American Missionary Association, has visited
us,_and has_promisdd us one of the most ac
complished of ,the teachers among the freed
men, under whose superintendence we hope
to organize an evening school in which these
men, shall be taught td read and ' speak the
English language_; and we enteet to open a
school.-on Sunday _alo, in_which;_whem they_
)
have learned our language, they may receiv
Christian instrnetion. The missionary wort
thus_ byought to our doors, we are thus pre
-paring to undertake, in-the faith -that a grey
door and effectual way is opened unto - us, and
in the _hope that through this advent of. China
inl3ew_Englam,l,:on_A- vhich_so - many_look_with_
fear and foreboding, the time may be brought
nearer when all the ends of die earth shall see
the Salvation of our God.
_AAltefettee of the Jitanuhteturers.
A - correspondent writing from North Adams
says:
" The Massachusetts manufacturers -do - not
deserve to be misrepresented on this important
point. They have never as a class seriously
objected to the high wages which their me
chanics were earning. Manufacturers have
been forbiddeh to employ non-Crispin work
men ; have been debarred from teaching ap
prentices or giving trivial tasks,' such as
tri ngi ng shoes, to orphanswhom they
wished to assist; have - been . prevented
from themselves driving, a ! peg into a
shoe in their own shops; have hatitommittees
appointed to examine their booksl-have been •
prohibited from making any pther than a cer
tain low grade of shoes ; have been deprived
of their liberty, and Insulted in their manli
ness in a hundred ways. Indeed - , the anal
blow which drove Mr. Sampson to seek relief
in San Francisco was the mandate of the
Crispin Lodgethat- two dozen-clever-work
men (Crispms) . whom he had procured
from the central part oft the State, should
go home - again and leave his Irish and
Canadian -,hands.. t0..-turn out,their clumsy
workmanship undisturbed by th sight of any- ,
thing better. He warned these too obedient
Crispins as they left him that they were'
driving him. to a step which would destroy
their order; but they laughed in unbend.
What he sought was not men tvho would not
work cheaply, but men who would work well
—men,in fact,who would work at all. If in ob
taining them he has got men who will work
and livehappily do what would not keep a
Crispin in tobaccd,he at least is not to ()lame."

.E4ilosion at the Lochlel Iron Works
The Harrisburg Telegraph says :
'About twenty minute,sof one o'clock yes , ;
terclay afternoon a frightful _ explosion oc
curred at the Lochiel Iron Works, which re
sulted in the fatal scalding and burning of
Dennis Tooniy, aged about fifty-five years.and

explosion, while several other workmen were
slightly hurt. Ilene are expected to 'die' but
Toomy and Quaid, who are terribly burned: .
The explosion occurred under the following
eirtimstances : Toomy requested Quaid to di
rect the hose on a " buggy" of slag, or cinder,
which had been conveyed to the outside of the
works about au hour before. The boy ac
cordingly did so, when-Toomy ran' a' wet bar
into the slag,. the result- of which was .a simul
taneous explosion, which was heatd three or
four hundred yards distant.. The 'hot cinder
flew in almost every conceivable direction,
Toomy and Quaid receiving the Largest quan
tity. The works were set on fire in several
places, which wa.s;extinguished . by bringing
the hose into play. - •
