The quinine firms in Philadelphia
made large fortune by the old tax on
drugs. When their monopoly wos
partly broken by the free quinine bill
of 1879, they threatened to shut up
their factories. They did not do so,
nd although quinine was reduced
from $3.40 to $'2. 10 an ounce by foreign
competition, they continued their
business, apparently with profit. In
spite of the millions they have made
out of their monopoly In (he pus t,
three firms now demand a restoration
of tax on quinine. The only reason
advaueed is that the tax makes tliein
richer. They do not add that it makes
poorer all citifens who are suffering
With fever and ague. iV. Y. Sun,
ine .cngiisn wueat crop is pro
nounced by the Loudon Timet, on the
whole, below the average. There are
eountiea In which It is above the
average of last year, and the elaborate
reports receutly made to a Scotch
paper shows that many, If not all, the
food crops In Scotland have done well
in Jreiuud all crops, and the potato
yield In particular, are a falluro.
'i lie upshot of the situation seems to
be that England will, as in past years,

SOMETHINO ABOUT ITS EARLY HIS
TORY AND THE EARLY SETTLERS.
Wllllamaport Gazette A Bulletin.
jviimin county is traversed by a
series of mountain ranges of most
picturesque beauty, and its valleys
are not exceeded for fertility and im
provements by any in the state. The
mountain ranges commencing on the
auutlicoat m Iiluo mountain, Juck's
mountain, Stone mountain and Puth
Valley mountains, sometimes called
Seven mountains. The Juniata river
enters Mifflin at Its southwest, and
wanders leisurely down the beautiful
vale in which Lcwistown forms the
conspicuous gem. Overlooking the
Juniata and Lewistown, on if round
16o feet above the river, is situated
Camp John Fulton Reynolds. The
view from division headquarters is
magnificent; the town in the valley
below, the Juniata sweeping along
beside densely wooded and rocky
mountain sides, stretching away as
fur as the eye can discern, the sun
beams dancing on the wuter, brigh
tening the crags and rocky banks, and
reflecting theiu again and again in the
water, produces an effect singularly
grand.
THE FIRST SETTLERS.
The flat on which the eastern part
of Lewistown now stands, previous to
settlement by the whites, was an In-
diau town of considerable importance.
Hie council house, trudition has it,
stood upon the east side of the creek.
with a line of wigwams stretched
toward the north. The first settlers
were Arthur Buchanan, his two sons.
and three other families, all Scotch
Irish, who eutercd the land lu I7tt5,
He made propositions to the Indians
for the purchase of the land, but It Is
probable he acquired ownership by
tretding them liberully to the contents
of his rum keg, with a few trinkets
and some tobacco thrown lu to clinch
me uurguin. jjon uranvllle was
erected some years after, about a mile
above the town. It was assaulted and
captured by the Indian and French
in July, 1756.
INDIANS AND EARLY MILITARY,
ine Iudians found in the valley
when the whitej first invaded it be
longed to three or four tribes, the
Delawares, Nionseys, Shawnees aud
probably the Tuscaroras, all of whom,
with the exception of the latter, be
longed to one of the eight great Indian
confederations. These ludiaus called
lueiuseivcs me ie.ini l.euupe, or
original people. White traders ven
tured Into the valley as early as 1740
but always left after transuctiug their
busiuess. In 1741 some Scotch-Irish
men pushed into the valley with the
determinatoiu of making it their fu
ture home. Many fierce und sanguin
ary struggles took place among the
Indians themselves, aud to this day
the findlug of Iudiuu arrow-heads is
no uncommon occurrence. Lewis
town Itself was the scene of almost a
riot in 1791. Iu those days military
spirit ran high lu the Juniata valley.
A man named Bryson had been ap
pointed an associate Judge by the
Governor. Previous to his aDnoiut-
meut he held the office of brigadier
Inspector, and In his official capacity
refused to commission two colonels
elected by their regiment, but in their
steud commissioned two men of his
own selection. Looking upon this as
a most unwarrantable assumption of
power, the men composing the regi
ments resolved that he should not en
joy the office of Judge, and undertook
by lorce to carry out their resolve.
THE GRAND REVIEW.
Governor Hoyt and the Natioual Guard
at Camp Reynolds.
THE LAST DAY OP THE FIRST ENCAMP
MENT UNDER DIVISION DISCIPLINE
WITNESSES A SPLENDID PAGEANT
BY OUR STATE DEFENDERS.
Philadelphia Press.
Camp Reynolds, Lewistown. Aug.
11. Tbe first annual encampment of
the National Guard, under the new
law, is practically ended. There have
been other annual encampments of the
militia of this State, but this is the
first where the cump has been con
trolled and the movement of trooos
directed from a geueral headquarters.
The change bas been watched and tbe
result will be noted with interest not
only by 6oldlers, but by all the citizens
of the Keystone State. There can be
but one opinion. The change is a
success. This cam d has demonstrated
tbe fact that the congregation of the
different regiments with other troops
created a spirit of rivalry that pushes
the men and officers to greater efforts
at perfection in both drill and appear
ance and to more rigid discipline than
could possibly be obtained with regi
mental or battalion encampments. It
would be strange if there was not some
disapointment among officers who
bave led crack regiments, who find in
a camp of this nature that they are put
to the severest test to prevent their
regiments from being overshadowed
by less pretentious organizations,
men, too, they do not like the re
straint of severe military discipline.
Careful Inquiry, however, reveals the
fact that a very large majority of the
officers who care for their permanent
success and an efficient National
Guard pronounce this system a decided
success. They argue that it cements
I n to a disti net service a sold ier elemen t
of a State, and creates a State as well
as local pride in the militia. Of course
there is more or less criticism at this
first attempt at division organization
aud discipline, but the causes for it will
doubtless not exist at the next encamp
ment. The division dress parade of
yesterday aud the review of the troops
by the Governor to-day have clearly
demonstrated the superiority of the
division system, crude though it may
be as yet. The few defects of yester
day both officers and men were quick
to take advantage of to-day, and the
sixteen regiments, composing the
National Guard, passed in review
before the Executive of the State this
evening in as perfect condition as tliut
number of soldiers iu any military
service lu this country, regular or vol
uuteer, ever presented upon a like oc
casion It would have been Impossi
ble to have brought this force together
iu any such creditable condition had it
not been for the diHuipliue of this
camp, aud the spirit of rivalry created
by brluging the different commands
lu competition. While the white
tents dot the hills, aud the soldiers are
still in camp, everything is iu busy
preparation for the march homeward.
THE GOVERNOR ARRIVES.
The last day of the encampment bas
been iu every respect all that could he
wished for. The weather was delight
ful, and everythiug passed orFharmou
iously and to the entire satisfaction of
the soldiers, as well as of those who
collected to witness the first review of
the National Guard iu division forma
tion. Doubtless more than 10,000 citi
zens from different parts of the State
were present at the review thisevening.
Thousands came by the many special
traius ruu to the camp, and other
drove in iu their own conveyances
from the surrounding country. As
many as 2,000 vehicles were upon the
ground wheu the review took place.
The lowlands along the river were
lined with people on foot, and the sur
rounding hills were one bank of car
riages. The Governor left Harrlsburg
this morning at 8 o'clock in a special
train, accompanied by a large number
of friends, iucluding a number of ladies
xie arriveu oeiore w o clock and was
met at the depot by Adjutant-General
Latta; Colouel Reed, Surgeon General;
Colonel A. Wilson Norris, Judge Ad
vocate; Colouel Einick, aid; Colouel
Thomas J. Smith, commissary; Lieu
tenant-Colonel Hassiuger, Assistant
Adjutunt-Ueueral, aud other members
of his staff, and a company of cavalry.
He mounted an elegant gray horse and
rode direct to the camp. Here ho was
received by Major-General Hurt run ft
aud was honored with a sulute of seven
teen guns. Almost immediately after
his arrival he and General Hart ruu ft,
with their respective staffs, in
spected the entire camp. After din
ner, several hours was spent In receiv
ing friends who called to pay their re
spects to the Executive, and several
times during the atlernoon tnere was
a congregation of distinguished indi
viduals at headquarters. Ex-Governor
Curtin was a conspicuous figure in
the throng. So was Senator George
Handy Smith und James McMunes,
of Philadelphia, who has had his first
soldier experleuco by spending two
days iu camp. J. W. Bosler and
Lemuel Todd, of Carlisle, were fre
quently in the gathering about tbe
Governor. Ex-Congressman B. F.
Meyers was preseut aud many other
citizens well known in politics and
the military history of the State. All
grudes of politics were represented in
the throng that gathered to witness
the closing scenes of the encampment,
and all expressed themselves as de
lighted with them.
THE GRAND REVIEW.
Before four o'clock the different regi
ments began to form at regimental
headquarters, and the beating of
drums and the strains of musio from
all parts of the camp drew attention to
the busy and novel scene that tiiese
peaceful bills presented. Before five
o'clock all three brigades, as well as
the artillery and two companies of
cavalry, were in position on the parade
ground ready for review. Geueral
Hartrauft rode out wheu the troops
began to form und witnessed the pre
parations for the Governor's review.
Shortly after five o'clock the Gover
nor with bis staff rode to the troops
and was honored with au artillery
salute. Almost immediately upou bis
appearance, he was joined by General
Hartrauft and the two stopped for a
moment, looked over the line and took
in the beautiful scene presented.
They then rode out together aud in
spected ail three brigades, beginning
with General Siegfried's, the third
brigade, which formed the right of the
line. General Beaver's, the second,
was then inspected. The first General
Suowden's, followed, and last the ar
tillery aud cavalry. Shortly before 6
o'clock the Governor and hisstafftook
position and the division passed in
review, Geueral Hartranft leading.
After passing, the Division Com
mander took a position by the Gover
nor's side aud the long line of infantry,
comprising more than 7,000 ateady
soldiers, filed past. It took more than
thirty minutes for the troops to file past
the Governor and their immediate
Commander. It Is not much to say
thut they marched With the stead in ess
of veterans, and as tbe long line of
gleaming bayonets filed iuto line to
pass In review there was a" perfection
of formation and precision of step that
was surprising. All the regiments and
brigades did well and were more or
less applauded by the throng that wit
nessed their soldierly appearance.
The Fourteenth, Colonel Gray, of
Pittsburg, and the First, Colonel
Weldershelm, of Philadelphia, were
generally conceded to be the most
striking regiments In what mnyjustly
be termed a superb division of troops.
Immediately after review the follow
ing complimentary order to the troops
was Issued by the Governor:
Headquarters National Guard
op Pa. general orders no. 13.
The Cominander-iu-Chief feels un
willing to forego the duty and the
pleasure of expressing his hearty com
mendation of the conduct of the Na
tional Guard of Pennsylvania at Camp
ueynoius, and tnerein ne only antici
pates the congratulations und the
thanks of the citizens of the Stute
which the official reports aud their
critical analysis must evoke. The
high state of orgauization which the
division has reached is by no means
the result of fitful spasms of effort
The satisfaction you now enjoy Is the
fruit of long, pesistent and intelligent
work, to which officers and men alike
have lent themselves. As a mere
organism, the superiority of the Guard
is manifested in the excellence of the
several parts, in their cordial coopera
tion witu eacn otner in tne resulting
unity and couipurtness of the whole;
in the efficiency at all points achieved
at the expense of mere parade; iu the
substantial completeness and accuracy
with which Its labors, whether of duty
or ceremony, are performed; in Its
cheerful surrender to the demands of
rigid discipline, aud above all in the
exact apprehension of the relations
which it bears to the public order and
Welfare always subordinate to the civil
law. While the common wealth has
deult liberally with the Guard it fairly
justified her fostering care and has
returned to her with pride and alacrity
a thorough service which fill all the
demands which have been made upon
u a sen respecting ciuzeii soldiery
To the officers and men of the Ntt
tioual Guard of Pennsylvania is ten
tiered tbe applauxe vliich in a free
Stale justly follows grave and import
ant puuuc uuties wen none.
By command of Henry M. Hoyt,
Governor aud Comuiunder-in-Chief.
James W. Latta,
Adjutant-General.
.To-night many of troops are break
ing camp. 'I he Governor remained
until a late bourto witness the closing
scenes. At 2 o'clock iu the morning
General Hartranft and staff and Gov
ernor Hoyt and stuff will take a special
train for home, and aiid there will be
nothing left of Camp Reynolds except
a few regiment and details to take
down the tents and loud the comp
equipage. All the officers, general,
stuff and line, have labored unceas
ingly to make the camp a success.
ur. ncad and ur. Mears, as well as
brlgudeand regimental surgeons, have
looked well after the health of the
camp. There has not been a single
death or a very severe case of sickness,
notwithstanding the terrible heat of
the first few day. Colonel Thomas J.
Smith lias made a spleuded commis
sary, and fed the troops well with good
provisions and with careful economy,
and the rations per man will not cost
much more the than twenty-one cents
per day. Another year many of the
annoyances and defects that caused
some grumbling the first few days will
doubtless be remedied, and the disap
pointments ofthis camp will be entirely
forgotten in general acquiescence that
it is all for the good of the service.

"OUR WILD INDIANS."
By Col. R. I. Dodoe.
Introduction by
GENERAL SHERMAN.
No white man is more widely known
among the Indians than Col. Dodge,
who is always spoken of by them as
the "Big Chiet." His new work, "Our
Wild Indians," on the title page of
wuicn uen. biicruiau s name also ap
pears, was undertaken by him at the
urgent solicitation of many d is-
tinguished men. It was not, however.
until GEN. SHERMAN offered to
write an Introduction to the work,
and to give the votunio his official
sanction, that Col. Dodge consented to
undertake it. It is the first authentic
account of our wild Indians that has
been written for nearly forty years.
The author writes from the stand
point of actual personal experience,
and it is interesting to note in this
connection the exceptional opportuni
ties of observation he has enjoyed, as
will be seen from the following state
ment of facts: Col. Dodge whs gradu
ated from West Point hi 1848, aud was
at once assigned to active duty on the
Texas frontier among the crafty and
cunning Comauches. From that time
until bis last campaign against the
Utes, in 1880, a period of thirty-three
years, bis life has been spent in direct
personal contact with the wildest
Indians of the "Far West." Iu this
third of a century be bas bad inter
course with thirty-four different tribes,
having fought his way foot by foot
through Iudian lands over ground
never before trodden by the foot of a
white man. Ills position as a high
commanding officer in tbe U. S. army,
and leader of many important expe
ditions against tbe Indians, lias given
him opportunities for study and ob
servation, such as no one iu civil life
could command.
In this volume of 650 pages Col.
Dodge alms to give a truthful and
minute account of "OUR WILD
INDIANS" of the preseut day; to
vividly describe their actions, habits,
customs, religion, manners, and
amusements as practiced by them ou
in the uncivilized regions of their un
invaded country ; to give graphic ac
counts of thrilling and exciting ad
ventures among them; to narrate
daring exploits and hairbreadth es
capes, not only from bhj own experi
ence, but from thut of other white
men, and of Indiana also ; and to re
cord desperate encounters, band-to-band
combats, sudden . surprises, re
markable defences, and heroic achieve-
ments incident to frontier life. In all
of this Col. Dodge has succeeded most
admirably, and he has produced in
comparably the most exhaustive and
truthful account of "Our Wild
Indians" ever written, and undeniably
one of tbe most thrilling and fascin
ating books of personal daring aud
romantio adventure ever published
His narrative is spiced with many
graphic account of famous Scouts and
Guides; of Trappers, Frontiersmen,
Squatters, Squaw-Men, Texas Cow
Boys, Miners, Gold Hunters, Border
Ruffians and Desperadoes, and their
adventures and wonderful achieve
ments are fascinating pen-pictures of
life In our Indian country. "Truth Is
stranger than fiction," and most es
sentially so in this thrilling record
of Thirty-Three Years' Experience.
Gen. Sherman truthfully says In
his introduction : "Yours is the first
attempt of which I have knowledge to
treat him (the Indian) as he exists in
fact. You have hud the experience of
a third of a century in absolute contact
with the various tribes of Indians from
the British line to Texas, New Mexico
and Arizona, hunting with them in
peace and In war. It is by far the best
description extant of the habits, man
ners, customs, usages, ceremonies, etc.
of the American Iudian as he now is,
You are hereby authorized to use my
name as authority for its publication
and circulation ; and I invite all
persons to read this book carefully
The book is both profusely and mag
nificenlly illustrated. Its list of steel
plates includes portraits of the author.
and of Gen. Crook, Geu. Miles, Gen
Custer, Geu. McKenz'.e, etc., and
there are many superb full-page cn
graving on wood. But the crowning
feature of the illustrations are the
maguificient full-page Chromo-Litho
graph Plates. These are printed in
lifteeu colors, from ninety engraved
stones, and represent weapons, orua'
ments, fac-smllcs of Indian drawings
and remarkable objects of interest and
curiosity too numerous to mention
The Smithsonian Institute at Wash
ington is largely indebted to Col
Dodge for its extensive collection of
Indian objects, collected by him in
the past thirty-three years.
After a careful and critical examina
tion of Col. Dodge's great work, we
can truthfully say that it combines in
uu unusual degree great value and the
most thrilling interest; uniting both
with magnificent illustrations. It is
a rare treat to look at the latter. In
every respect it is a thoroughly first
class work, and as such we call the
special attention of our readers to it.
and we advise them to get at the very
first opportunity. Once begun it will
not willingly be laid aside till the last
page is finished. It is sold at low
price, but is for sale only by subscrip
tion through canvassing agents.
A Great Peach Crop.
New York Sun.
After all, this is to be a great peach
year In the spring tho prospects re
garding the fruit were all evil. Only
a small crop was predicted. Even at
the beginning of summer we were told
to expect little from the famous peach
growing region of Delaware and
Maryland. Better reports came in a
few weeks ago, but now, when the
time for the ripening of peaches has
actually come, we are promised
the largest crop ever picked, the great
yield of 1876 alone accepted.
"lo-day," says the Philadelphia
Press, "every peach tree on the lonu
stretch of land between the buv o!
Delaware and the Chesapeake, und ex
tending from Washington to North
ampton County, Va., is bending un
der an overload of lusiious spheres.'
It is estimated that that region will
yield the enormous quuntity of live
million baskets of peaches. And the
quality of this extraordinary crop is
said to be better than that of 1876
when only was the abundance equal
led. Because the peaches are so ex
ceptionally good, the growers antici
pate comparatively high prices ; hut
with a supply so vast, there is no
reason to doubt that duriug the next
four weeks We shall be able to get re
markable good peaches at low rates.
The great crop will also stimulute
the business of cunning tbe fruit, and
making the piiee of preserved peaches
moderate duriug the winter. The
industry is now one of the most uctive
in the country, aud helps to largely
increuse our export trade- The work
is very often done near the orchards,
and improvements in the processes are
made yearly.
The great peach region is made up
of Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia.
More peaches are produced there than
on any other equal acreage in the
world. The number of trees aggre
gates something like six millions,
young and old, and the orchards vary
in size from a few hundred trees to
ten thousand. Three of (lie leading
growers of Maryland, for instance,
have one hundred thousand trees in
bearing this year. The whole regiou
is given up to the business, and during
the peach season, we are told, every
inhabitant of the peninsula, male, and
female, is engaged in picking the fruit
or preparing it for market. And never
before, excepting in the single August
of 1875, has the activity been so great
as it is now.
In every direction nature Is giving
us the assurance of low price for
food. Wheat, rye, barley, potatoes,
are all promising better than ever be
fore, or have actually been harvested
in exceptional profusion. The oat
crop will be by far the greatest ever
raised. Corn alone may be a little
below the average. Vegetables have
found this an exceedingly favorable
year. Most of the fruits have done
equally well, and of apples, especially,
the crops is likely tf be enormous, uf
fording plenty to make prices cheap
at home aud to allow great surplus for
export.

That is what a great
many people are doing.
They don't know just what
is the matter, but they have
a combination of pains and
aches, and each month they
grow worse.
The only sure, remedy
yet found is Brown's Iron
Bitters, and this by rapid
and thorough assimilation
with the blood purifies and
enriches it, and rich, strong
blood flowing to every part
of the system repairs the
wasted tissues, drives out
disease and gives health and
strength.
This is why Brown's
Iron Bitters will cure
kidney and liver diseases,
consumption, rheumatism,
neuralgia, dyspepsia, mala
ria, intermittent fevers, &c.

I was a great sufferer from
Dyspepsia, and for several
weeks could eat nothing and
was growing weaker every
day. I tried Brown's Iron
Bitters, and am happy to say
I now have a good appetite,
and am getting stronger.
