THE PENNSYLVANIA It ESTEAD
_ .
The old Pennsylvania homestead offers
an excellent illustration of the system of
domestic economy which would render a
country prosperous. The farm was suffi
cient for almost all the needs of its inha
bitants. The linen garments of summer
and the woollen ones of winter, were ma
nufactured, from the first operation of sow
ing the seed or raising the animal, through
all the varieties of manipulation requisite,
until the thud touch which shaped it into
the coat or dress. All the food of the
family was also furnished by their own in
dustry, except a very few articles imported
from other countries; and such as must be
purchased were readily procured in ex
change for the surplus of the dairy or
poultry yard.
The progress of recent years has taught
us that, in individual cases, this was not
the wisest method of applying labor; that
by directing individual industry into cer
tain fixed and diverse channels, greater
skill is acquired in the several departments;
and that, by a union of capital, the advan
tages of machinery can be secured.
But as a nation, we can find no better
model than the self-sufficing industry of our
pdruitive landowners. The same scheme
extended a little further, would give the
same stability of character and security
against financial difficulties and revulsions
as were enjoyed by the old Pennsylvania
farmer,
It is neither practicable nor advantageous
for each household to supply itself with cloth
and flannel, yet neither is it wise to import
them from foreign looms when the laborer
is ready to manufacture them on the spot
where the wool is clipped, and the work
man and his neighbors demand large quan
tities of all the fabrics that he can prepare.
The money would tkus be kept at home,
and charges of carriage, and repeated pro
fits of merchants and middlemen, be saved.
Another and very great advantage, too
often overlooked, - . which is gained by a
neighborhood in the establishment of manu
factures, is the home market furnished by
operatives to the farmers of the vicinity.
Only those living near cities can rightly
compute the value of the green crops, which
are almost valueless to many of our farmers
from the difficulty of carriage and distance
from a market. With plenty of consumers
near at hand, the vegetable garden rivals,
and often outstrips, the heavier standard
crops in money value and immediate and
certain sale.
A few operatives furnishing requisite ar
ticles which were formerly imported, and
in return seeking their food and all the ne
cessities of life from their neighbors, would
be worth much more in dollars and cents
to the country than a larger number of
more impoverished workmen across the
sea, who would at best purchase a small
quantity of our wheat or other exports.
The wealth of our mines and forests, and
the fertility of our soil is the source of pre
sent and future opulence, and has already
counteracted, to a great degree, the na
tional disregard of the true principles of po.
litical economy; but for America to be a
mere agricultural and mining country, is fill
outrage upon the peculiar characteristics of
her people. The world rings with applause
of Yankee contrivances, and the nation at
large claims the first rank for mechanical
inventions in the direct line of manufactur
ing machinery.
The requirements of war have evoked a
spirit of invention which lay comparatively
dormant during the preceding years of
peace, when general attention was turned
from mechanical to manufacturing enter
prise ; but the same talent that invented
and perfected so many instruments of war
fare can be wisely directed for the indus
trial advantage of the people. The match
less rapidity by which these inventions
- were brought to perfection under the im
pulse of necessity, proves that a vast amount
of talent is ready to furnish like mechani
cal improvements whenever a sufficient
incentive is offered.
The United Statesis constantly receiving
additional population from abroad, a large
proportion of which comes from the rnanu
facturina nations of Europe. If, instead of
unwisely changing all these immigrants
into competing farmers, they should be im
mediately furnished with opportunities for
pursuing their old avocations under more
favorable circumstances, we might soon be
manufacturing English cloth and French
chintz in our midst, while the operatives
would become consumers of our surplus
agricultural products_
Under a prudent system, such a change
might speedily be effected, and our great
advantages of water-power and abundant
supplies of coal and iron be brought into
most remunerative employment.
A resemblance to the type chosen—the
old Pennsylvania farm-house—would be
seen in a community where the cloth mill,
the foundry, and the cotton mill stand near
to each other, while the hatter, shoemaker,
tailor, and blacksmith live over the way,
furnishing the neighboring farmer with
goods, for whose quality they are personally
responsible, and purchasing from him the
product of his land without the interven
tion of the middlemen, who now become
millionaires upon the profits of transporta
tion, and, besides this, furnishing his invalid
or feeble son the position of book-keeper,
and his clever one the opportunity of selling
them a "patent" for a labor-saving improve
ment to their machinery.
Li A RECENT LETTER from Charleston,
describing the celebration of "Indepen
dence Day," the author expresses the
amazement and admiration caused by the
grace and beauty of the decorations of a
fair under the conduct of colored persons.
The majority of the individuals connected
with the undertaking had been slaves
within a twelvemonth, and had never seen
a fancy fair or bazaar in their lives, yet the
ornamentation and arrangement reached a
remarkable degree of elegance.
This taste in color and arrangement is
held by the blacks in common with the
other Southern nations, and in our North
ern cities the lower order of colored per
sons, although prone to brilliant shades,
are more uniformly judicious in their use,
and more alive to the law of contrasts than
lower ranks of other races. A glance at
our streets on a public holiday will fully
prove the fact, showing a remarkable natu
ral aptness for artistic culture in a people
who have been long and utterly debarred
from any education in that direction.
The nations of the North are to a great•
d egree d es titute of a native taste in color, it
oidy being acquired by cultivation. An
artiv,tic eye is often offended in our own
country, although we are nearly as desti
tute of knowledge in this respect as the
people of .England, who have long been the
objects of ridicule to the more artistic con
tinental.natiOns.
The instinct for color seems really native
to the' Southern peoples. Italy was once
the supreme ruler of fashion, holding the
position that France does now by the right
of superior taste. A foreign domination is,
however, injurious even in this department,
as it has proved in more important ones.
The nations lying nearer the equator de
light in high and brilliant colors and violent
contrasts, as if the opulence in Nature
called for a similarity in the costume of the
inhabitants ; while the sober and cooler
tints of the Northern flora and fauna should
teach a proportionate modesty and quiet
ness of hue, in conformity with their re
quirements.
Italy has held undisputed sovereignty in
art, ana was long the judge of fashion,
France has succeeded herin the latterking-
dom ; and it is not improbable that the.un
taught excellencies displayed by the negro
evert in his present uncultivated condition
give him the right to a position among the
artistic nations, as undoubtedly as he holds
his place among the Southern ones.
In spite of all existing obstacles, a few
colored persons have risen to the rank of
artists; and we can recall at least one in
stance in which we were struck by the fact
that the best portrait of "Old Joni BROWN"
that we have ever seen was the work of one
of the race which he died to serve.
THE WESTEXTRY C,VSE.
The debate in the British House of Com
mons on the evening of July 3, when a
vote of censure was passed on Lord Chan
cellor WESTBURY, commenced at a little
after 'five o'clock, and did not con
clude until after midnight. Seven hours
talking is rather heavy work, and is repre
sented by eighteen columns of a report in
The Times newspaper—about two pages of
small type in TEE PRESS. The debate,
albeit long, was not tedious. The result
- was a vote by the Commons that, in deal
ing with "Vacant offices, the Chancellor had
shown" a laxity of purpose and a want of
caution with regard to the public interest"
which, in the opinion of the House, were
"calculated to discredit. the administration
of his great °thee."
Careless and lax he may have been, but
the imputation of acting from corrupt mo
tives has not been made against him. Du
ring the debate the charges were entered
into very fully, and evidence given upon
them before a Parliamentary committee of
inquiry was freely quoted. Lord WEST
.
BURY iS unfortunate in his eldest son, an un
mitigated scamp; neglectful of his children,
devoted to riotous livimx, fond of gambling,
regardless of honor, addicted to running
into debt, and willing to sell for money
his influence With his father. It is ahnost
certain that the Chancellor did give a high
legal appointment at the request of his dis
reputable son and heir, in the spring of
1865, and it was surprising that he
should have done so, after having written
as tollows, ten months before :
. SATURDAY, May 14,1864.
Sin: It has just come to my knowledge, M
the most Sudden and overwhelming manner,
that my eldest son, Mr. Bethel Chas been
guilty of the most flagrant misconduct. He is
stated to me (and the fact admits of no doubt,)
to have lost during the last twelvemonth very
large sums of money by betting, at races, and
to have raised money to pay these debts by
bills of exchange and loans an every quarter.
[I call particular attention to these words.]
He is also stated to have been for some time
in the habit of neglecting personal attendance
at his office, and to have had his of duties
discharged by deputy. I feel it my duty in
stantly to remove him from his office. I beg
you to prevare an order without a moment's
delay, stating it has been proved to my satis
faction that Mr. Richard Augustus Bothell has
neglected the duties of his office, and is unlit
to be continued therein, and that I, therefore,
remove him from the office of one of the
registrars of the court as from this day. It
would be idle to speak to you of the state of
mind I am ; but I am determined that he
shall be instantly removed, and that in the
manner Avbiela justice requires.
Your faithful servant, WE5rauRT.
To the Chief Registrar.
There is really something of the first
BRUTUS in this letter, evidently wrung
from a father's heart. By one stroke of the
pen he drove his son out of a permanent
office of $5,000 a year. He has not since
reformed, and iv-hat caused suspicion was
that, as the result showed, he still had in
terest with his father. But, on reference to
dates, it appears that BETHELL I the son,
had recommended his friend to BETHELL,
the father, (Chancellor WESTBURY, ) before
his own dismissal.
Of Lord WESTBURY himself, the victim
of all this trouble, it may be said, not that
he has been more sinned against than sin
ning, but that nothing in his official life be
came him like his quitting it. The day fol
lowing the public announcement that his .
resignation of office had been accepted by the
Queen, he went down to the House of Lords,
where he took his usual seat as presiding
officer, it being understood that he should
not actually go out of harness until after he
had signed and issued all the writs for holding
elections in the counties, cities, and boroughs
in England, Wales and Scotland ; those
necessary for the sister island being signed
by Mr. MAZIBRE BRADY, the Irish Chan
cellor. It was expected that Lord WEST-
Bunv would make a statement, and the
House of Lords was crowded. after de
claring that he had placed his resignation
in Lord PALMERSTON'S hands live months
ago, but had continued in office at his Lord
ship's request, and that the Cabinet (who
held that to quit office, after a public charge
bad been made against the occupant, might
be misinterpreted as a confession of eilt,)
the ex-Chancellor said : "I have made this
statement, my lords, simply in the hope that
you will believe, and that the public will
believe, that I have not clung to office,
[hear, hear,] much less that I have been
influenced by any baser or more unworthy
motive. [Hear, hear.] With regard to
the opinion which the House of Commons
has pronounced I do not presume to say a
word. lem bound to accept the decision.
I may, however, express the hope that aftei
an interval of time calmer thoughts will
prevail, and a more favorable view be taken
of my conduct." This was calmly put,
and is much better than if he had blustered
and exclaimed against the virtual condem
nation of his conduct by the House of Corn
Mena. It is not as impressive as FRANCIS
BACON's words, in his will, that "my name
and memory ; I leave to foreign nations and
to my own countrymen, after some time be
passed OTer," But there is a, difference in
the two cases. Bacon, accused of having
accepted bribes from parties on whose suits
he was about passing legal judgment,
confessed: "I do plainly and inge
nuously confess that I am guilty of
corruption, and do renounce all defence;"
but Lord WESTBURY, at the most, has ac
knowledged no more than that he was care
less and hasty, and had left too much to his
inferior officers. Ritcoar never attended
Parliament after his condemnation by his
peers; but Lord WESTBURY intimates that,
in the character of a private member of the
House of Lords it would be his anxious en
deavor to promote end assist in carrying
out all necessary reform in the law, and in
the administration of justice. This does not
look like the speech of a man with an in
ward conviction that he had deserved dis
missal and disgrace. Lord WESTBURY, in
fact, was one of the very ablest and most ac
tive lawyers who ever held the Great SeaL
No Chancellor, with the exception of
BROUGHAM, so thoroughly devoted himself
to the great question of law reform. In his
farewell speech, he alluded, with just pride,
to his having been able to afford aid to pass
measures of law reform which would be
great benefit to his country, and said,
" with these measures I hope my name will
be associated." He enumerated what he had
done in his four years tenure of office, and
lamented that he had not been able to
ibaugurate a great scheme for the formation
of a digest of the whole law of England, the
means of doing which had not been afforded
by Parliament until the present session.
"That great scheme," he said, "I be
queath, 'already prepared, to the hands of
my successor." It happens, however, that
this successor, Lord CnAriwonni, who is
seventy-five years old, and has formed very
indolent habits since he quitted the bar for
the bench alsb has an idea that law reform
is a dangerous thing. To commit the great
scheme of digesting the whole English law
Into a dozen volumes to the hands of the
new Chancellor, is really to commit it to
the tomb of all the (legal) CArctsrs.
When that good man and great Chan
cellor, Sir TROMAB 3IonE, having given
judgment'on a case desired the next on the
list to be called, the usher's reply was
that all the cases had been disposed of.
There has not been anything like this in
Chancery since, that time. Yet Lord
WESTBURY has nearly approached what
MORE achievid. Ile told the Lords, in
his valedictory :
, •
e I may add, in reference to the appellate
jurisdiction of your Lordships' House, that I
um happ to say it is left in a state which will,
I think, .be , found to he• satisfactory. There
will netb eat the close of the session, a single
judgment in arrear, save one in which the ar
guiniuits, after oecupYing SeVeral days, were
brought to a eonelusion on tile day before Yoke
terday. In the Court of Chancery, I am glad
to be able to inform your Lordships, I do not
think there will remain at the end of this
week, one appeal unheard or one Judgment
undelivered."
Thepe results are the evidence of, the ap
plication which Le devoted to the perform
ance) Df.his judicial functions. It. play
have been proper—because the slightest
speck ought not to be allowed to sully his
judicial ermine—for Lord WEsrrnunv to
resign the, Chancellorship; but as corruption
is not imputed to him, we should not won
der at his re-entering the British Govern
ment iu some other capacity. He is only
sixty-five years old, healthy in mind and
body, able, clear-headed, eloquent, and
energetic. It is not likely that such a man
will be permitted to rust in idleness. He
will scarcely resume his judicial office, but
the arena of political life is fully open to
him.
COLONEL P. C. EmatitHEß, who has
been appointed by the President United
States Marshal for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, is peculiarly qualified for
the duties of the positiom His energetic
and resolute character and his unflinch
ing loyalty will secure to the Govern
ment a vigilant and fearless officer. Colonel
ELLMAKER served his country with signal
gallantry at the head of one of the first of
our Philadelphia regiments, and his ap
pointment as Marshal is another proof of
the gratitude and affection of President
JOHNSON for the defenders of the old flag.
The testimonials of Colonel ELLMAKER,

many of his companions in arms, recom

Startling Story from Texas—President
Johnson Killed by General Grant,
rte.
Cl'mni the Clarksville (Tcxns) Standard.]
The mails being discontillUed, we are muter
the necessity of reciting from report an event
of magnitude, perhaps pregnant with import
ance to the people of the South.
Prom several sourees—one of them being
Clem Thompson, formerly a resident of our
county, and just from Dardanelle, Arkansas—
we learn that he saw, in Fort Smith and Little
Rock papers, and in the Memphis Argus., ac
counts or the death, of President Johnson, who
was killed, on the 6th instant, at Washington
city, by General Grant, in a personal altercation
arising from Johnson's unwillingness to main
tain, in good faith, the terms of the Conven
tion entered into by Grant and Lee, and by
Sherman with Johnston. The event is so as
tounding, and the occurrence so extraordina
ry, of two Chief Dlagistrates of the United
States carried off by violence, that we should
hesitate to credit it, were it not that Mr.
Thompson saw it in papers from three differ
ent localities—saw the papers in mourning,
and heard the event discussed by Federal offi
cers at Dardanelle. The story is corroborated
by other persons who have passed through
town duringthepast week. The firstreporters,
however, were scarcely listened to, the story
seemed so improbable.
The killing is said to have occurred in'a pri
vate room at the State Department, and with
out witnesses ; and all we hear is, that General
Grant said he was compelled to kill him. As
President Johnson's habits are known to have
been very irregular, and he was a man of
strong will and denunciatory mode of expres
sion, these may have brought on a - physical
contest, and in a measure compelled the re
sult.
If the report is true, as eve suppose it is, his
successor would be the President pro tern. of
the Senate, who is, we are informed, (not
being well posted about United States Govern
ment officials of late,) Mr. Coßamer, of Ver
mont, formerly Postmaster General under
General Taylor, and long a Senator from Ver
mont. A perusal of the - Senate debates prior
to the war lias given us a favorable opinion Of
Mr. Collamer, though an avowed Free-soiler.
We cannot tell whether he has yielded to the
latter tendency to run Free-soilism into Abe
tionism—we hope not. At all events the de
bates impressed us with the belief that Mr.
Collamer was a man of more than average
mind—far above the grade of Andrew John
son's, and that though an opponent to slavery,
he was a fair and just-minded opponent, act
ing from honest conviction, and tempering his
tendencies with moderation, asense of patriot
ism and justice to his, opponents. If he is to
be the acting President of the United States
until the 4th of March next, we shall have
hopes of liberal treatment to the South, and
courtesy to its Representatives.
THE WORK OF RECONSTRUC•
PION IN GEORGIA.
Another Speech by Gov. 34:lhIIS012.
The Augusta (Georgia) ainstittetionalist, of
July fah, comes to us with a speech delivered
by Governor Johusou to a large meeting of
citizens of Augusta, the evenin ,, previous.
We extract the following:
Nor was it the design of the Government to
humiliate the people by this exaction of an
oath, but it simplyexereased its right to pre
vent any but its friends from using political
power. Some objected to taking the oath be
cause it pledged the citizens to support the pro
clamations touching slavery. This had ceased
to be a practical question. The constitutional.
amendment abolishing slavery only lacked two
States for its adoption,and it was morally cer
tain that Kentucky, New Jersey, Delaware, and
probably Virginia would adopt it. Further
more; said Governor Johnson, I venture the
legal opinion that slavery , is dead by virtue of
the war power of the United States. Isis argu
ment on lower
was profoundly logical, and
carried conviction to every mind. Nor did he
believe that the work of emancipation would
stop with the Southern States. It would ex
tend to Cuba, Brazil, and even the slavehold
ing districts of Africa, and that they would
enjoy a higher prosperity under the new sys
tem of labor.
Others objected to the oath because it re
quired the citizens to swear to the support of
the Union, Our views upon this question must
be materially modified. The South has made
a gigantic and a gallant effort for indepen
dence, and has failed. She must live in the
Union, or not live at all. And why, said Go
vernor J., should we not support and cherish
the Unions Were we not born and reared in
it? Have we not prospered under 10 When
God, in ancient times, would divide the peo
pie, he did it not with sword and spear, but by

of one speech and of one origin. We nave the
same mountain chains and mighty rivers, and
the same broad lakes. We are one in ad re
spects, and I think will be one in destiny.
I appeal to you as Georg4ms, said tile Gov
ernorin conclusion, to assist the in this good
work of reconstruction. Don't despair of the
fortunes of your State. True, your 'sufferings
have been fearful, but nations, like indivi
duals, are perfected through much tribulation.
Although our territory has been wasted by
fire and sword, and our fairest and most flour
ishing cities have been destroyed, yet with
proper thrift and manful energy we can re
build these waste places, and repair the deso
lations of war. Let us be instructed by the
past, that war is a dreadful evil, and when un

God and humanity. Let us cultivate kindly

A STATEIMNT OF tT UT ONE. WHO KNOWS.
General J. W. Sprague, who has been put in
charge of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen,
and Abandoned Lands, for the States of MIS.
souri and Arkansas, says, in a familiar letter
to a friend in Troy, N. Y., that he is thus far
succeeding well, and continues:
In Missouri there are but two hundred and
thirty-five colored men, women, and children
who are asking any material aid from Govern
ment ; but there are four thousand rive hun
ilred white refugees, and the proportions are
snout the same in this State. think you
would be astonished and delighted if you
could see the prosperity of the blacks, where
they have received protection for only a
mingle year. In many places they have estab
lished and support good schools, and, with
the assistance of the benevolent educa
tional' societie4 of the NOrtilern states,
there are but very few black children now
but what are in school, where the protec
tion of our Government is over them. Many
of them j too, are accumulating property ra
pidly. I believe the question is settled that
the negro can take care of himself, and do
very much, too, to add to the material wealth
of the country, if he is protected by law from
injustice. Indeed, solar as I can see, -his fu
ture is much more promising than that of the
poor whites—they being fully as ignorant,
don't know how to work, and are not inclined
to try. Their condition appears to be one
of unmixed ignorance and Wretchedness.
There are hundreds of white orphan chil
dren gathered around the various posts in
this State, who are being fed by Government.
There is no orphan asylum in this State,
and the question that now ireBBo.9 most upon
me is, what can be done with these Children?
Shall they grow -up in ignorance and crime
or will some of the large-hearted benevolence
of the North extend to them that help which
they must have or perish ? My main object in
writing at this time is to ask you to see if
some of them cannot be provided for in your
orphan asylum. I trust you will make the in
quiry and let me know. i can send you all
you can find room for. If I fail to get these
children into the asylums of the North, I do
not knowh
w_at can be done with them. In all

The Race and Vine street passenger railway
track extends from the Merchants' Exchange,
on Dock street, to the southern gateway of en
trance to Fairmount. At this place, a rough
board stand has been erected for a military
band of musicians, who perform every plea-
Sant afternoon, commencing at 4 o'clock. "Kn.
SIC bath charms' , that Fairmount does not
possess, and to this may be attributed its in
troduction. It is supposed by many that the
public are indebted to the liberality of the city
authorities for this pleasant pastime; others
think the musicians perform gratuitously, sim
ply to please the people. Both presumptions
are entirely erroneous. The musicians are
paid for their services an enormous rate per
week from private sources. The Race and
Vine street track passes through a built up
portion of the city, and in the absence of any
rural scenes, there are quite a number of im
provements worthy of a passing notice. The
cars will be found on the north side of Dock
Street, just below Third, and are yellow in.
color, to distinguish them from the Richmond
cars, painted red, belonging to the Second and
Third street company. The car passes up
Third to Vine street, and turning up Vine, the
building of the Manufacturers , National Bank
will attract some observation.
The next place of note is 13 , anklin Square,
with its playing fountain and large shade
trees. This is a great resort for women and
children during pleasant weather. Until
within a few years an old burial ground was
located on the Vine-street front of the Square,
but it was removed, and now gravel-walks,
and grass-plots cover the space, where once
hundreds of human bodies reposed in death's
long sleep. Some of the remains were removed,
but many of them remain. Thousands of visi
tors little think, while strolling over this part
of the enclosure, that they are walking on the
ashes of the dead.
At the corner of Sixth street, opposite the
Square, will be seen a neat, clean looking
building, formerly the Bank of Penn Town,-
ship. It is now that of the Penn Natimad
Bank.
This building,olocated between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets, was once an attractive
place, under the preaching of a minister not

The car passes by a large building at the
southwest corner of Broad and Vine streets.
This is known as the "Mechanical Bakery,"
although that institution was abandoned three
or four years since. It was founded by a
wealthy enterprising capitalist of our city,
and the bread made there by machinery was
much better and cleaner than that furnished
by the band-bakers, and certainly of a less
spongy character. The interior arrangement,
from the opening of a barrel of flour to the
baking of the loaves, was curious and interest-
ing. The immense amount of outlay required
in serving the bread in all parts of the city,
the rebellion breaking out, ace, interfered
with the project, and the Mechanical Bakery
became numbered with the things that were.
That a similar institution, or a plurality of
them, of smaller dimensions, will be started
again, is not an improbability; and if bread
cant be furnished at cheaper rates than it is at
present, mechanical bakeries would "neeeisa
rily become populace
The car Passes on the northern line of Logan
Square, surrounded, as it is, - with some of the
handsomest mansions that beautify the city of
Philadelphia. It was here, in the month of
June, 1864, that the great United States Sani
tary Fair was held, that yielded one and a
quarter million Of dollars for the benefit of
the Union soldiers. The Square is the largest
one in Philadelphia. The only article left as
a memento of the great Fair is the flag-staff,
that was planted in the centre of Union ave
nue. This mast is bedded in the earth to the
depth of sixteen feet, - with an oak step pro-
Perly secured at the heel. The top of this
mense pole or mast is two hundred and six
teen feet above the surface of the ground. The
lower mast was built of two of the largest
pieces of timber that could be found in Phila
delphia. They were scraped and banded, and
scarfed to the extent of eighteen feet. The
topmast is ninety-two feet long, with a doub
. ling of fifteen feet. The diameter of the main
mast is two feet six inches; that of the top
mast one foot three inches. This immense
pole was made by shipbuilders, shipsmiths,
mastmakers, shipjoiners, blockmakers, rig
gers, and sailmakers, and it was donated by
them to the Sanitary Fair. The cost of the
pole was j1,e25.
We shall never forget the scene attending
the raising of the flag at the inauguration of
the fair. Just as the banner unfurled its
beauty in the free breeze and sunlight, against
a faultless arch of blue, a salute was fired—a
gun for every State—and the people responded
to the soul-stirring event with loud cheers.
Just as this scene of patriotic beauty closed",
another of a more terrifying character oc
curred below, at the west end of the great
Union archway, which marred the pleasure of
the inauguration and effectively interfered
with the proceedings. The stand erected for
the singers and musicians fell with a tremen
dous crash, and its several hundred occupantS
were precipitated amid the wreck. Nobody
was killed outright. Several persons were
very badly injured, many were slightly hurt,
and the remainder terribly frightened.
DISTANT BIGHT OF THE SCHUTLEILL
It may not be generally known, but it is a
fact, that the ground towards the western li
mits of Logan square is 50 elevated, that the
grade is. downward to the Schuylkill. FrOrd
this point the passenger can see the flowing
stream coursing its way across the foot of Vine
street. The beautiful private improvements
for which Philadelphia is proverbial, and in
which particular it excels all other large cities
in the world, here fail upon the vision of the
observant passenger. The car goes on, and a
church building or two are passed, but they
seem to be neglected. Their mastic fronts,
that do not come up to the l quality of stucco,
are scaly, and therefore we pass them by
without further notice. The car turns up
Twenty-third street to Callowhill, thence west
ward; passing by the Spring Garden Gas
Works; factories, mills, fancy soap making es
tablishments, ranges of old buildings erected
a century ago, some of them tottering to their
downfall; and finally we stop within a few feet
of the south entrance to Fairmount. The wire
bridge is immediately to the left hand over
which the Hestonville ears are ready to take
passengers through a beautiful Gauntry.

caused by the boiling up of the water as it
flows over the dam, and dashes down upon a
rocky bed. The promenades are shaded with
ornamental trees, the tops of some of which
rise much higher than the basin that crowns
the summit. But a few years since the spec
tator could stand on the top of Fairmount and
obtain frorn that height a "bird's-eye view" of
the then distant City. Now, however, the
thick foliage of the trees close the distant
scene of bricks, roofs, and steeples. The mu
sic stand is placed near the main building.
The fountains were not playing. The monu
ment to Mr. Graeif is not as clean as it should
be. There is evidently room for sundry em
bellishments here that would reflect credit on
the powers that be. Certainly it would scost
nothing to let the fountains flow, the same as
is done in Franklin Square. There might be a
hundred jets of various kinds introduced
about Fairmount that would prove attractive.
To introduce them would cost very little.

of large manufactories for the production of
many kinds of goods. This section of the city
has been the scene of many disastrous fixes.
Upon one occasion a frightful conflagration
occurred in the large mill at the southwest
Corner of Hamilton and Twenty-third streets.
The operatives, many of them females, were
in great danger, five or six of them were
burned to death, and a number were injured
by jumping from the upper windows. We well
remember the scene of conflagration. it was
terrible. The deepest distress prevailed
among the residents of that part of the city,

condition.
BarTGR-CART ClTunon
A short distance below Canowhill street, is
very rough-east church. It seems as though
mortar and pebble stones had been simply
"clashed on." It was probably intended by
the projectors to produce a building to repre
sent what may not be inaptly termed « rugged
simplicity." If this was the intention, then
they_ succeeded, most assuredly. The congre
gation that worships here belong to tbe Re.
formed Presbyterians. The building itself is
known as the Twenty-second-street Second
Reformed Presbyterian Church.
The car keeps on to Race street, then turns
eastward, and soon we behold a fine large
pressed 'brick building, entitled, the Third As.
sociute Presbyterian Church. It was built in
1854. To the southward.of Race street will be
observed a unique-looking stone building,
facing westward, with a circular window, and
stained glass in the gable end. We are in
formed that it is dedicated to public school
purposes.
THE BLIND AWYLIJAL
On the top of the car, anions other reference,
will be observed the two words, "Blind Aar
luM." This is an erroneous name given to a
range of buildings recessing forty or fifty feet
on the north side of Race street, from Twenty
-first to Twenty-second street. This is one of
the best institutions in our city. We "cant
see it,” however, that it is blind. It id well

periods, who will find therein—and which may
be purchased at moderate rates—many arti

ST. CLEMICNT'S CHURCH.
A passing view is obtained of this Splendid
Church 'building, at Twentieth and Cherry
streets: The corner-stone of this edifice was
laid in 1856. The consecration. of the church
took place in the spring of 1864. The style of
architecture is known as Romanesque. The
top of the spire, which rests on a very pretty
tower, is nearly two hundred feet elevation
from the street surface.
This palatial structure is located on the
south side of Race street, below Nineteenth,
opposite Logan Square. The material used in
its construction is mottled marble of pink and
white. Its surroundings evince a great degree
of taste In shade trees, shrubbery, and floral
decorations generally. The interior of the
building is the paragon of neatness and clean
liness, It is controlled by a board of mane
gers elected by the City Councils. The insti
tution was established especially for the bene
tit of the indigent blind and lame.
A PRETTY CHURCH BUILDING
Located at some distance back from the
north line of the street, above Fifteenth, is a
church building—a marble slab on the -front
thereof stating it to be the Second Associate
Reformed Church. The structure is large, and
a perfect model of pressed-brick work. The
congregation worshipping within its sacred.
walls are also known as the United Presby
teriane. There is a little history in conn.eetion
with' this church ; we think this is the one,
though we are not certain. It is said that,
many years ago, a pious Scotch lady, while on
a voyage from Scotia's bleak shores and
rugged wilds to the beautiful land of America,
a dreadful storm arose. The waves ran 1310Un
tain high, and. the rolling crests foamed in
Power and fury above and all around. The
clouds were dark and lowering, the lightning
vivid, and the thunder tones, still louder than
the mighty voice of old Neptune, seemed to
deeply penetrate the bosom of the ocean. The
batches were closed. on the ship, the sails had
been torn to ribbons, the, topmasts were car
ried away or dangling in the slings. It was a
time of terror, and the stoutest hearts quailed
before the fury of that storm. At such a
moment, the pious old Scotch lady uttered
a most fervent - Vow, that it she ever reached.
the shores of America she would build a
church. With the dawn of day, there came a
streak of light, the storm clouds passed, and
the sun shone down upon the undulating face
of the tempest-tossed ocean. The vessel
finally arrived at the port of Philadelphia, and
the old lady, not forgetting her prayer, had
a church guilt at tke corner of Thirteenth and
Filbert 4 streets. The congregation increased
ip nmhber so that it was necessary to erect a
larger building, and now the members have
one of the prettiest brick churches to be
found in Philadelphia. '
BROAD AND RACE STREETS
Having passed by one of these institutions
Of learning known as a public school-house,
we reach Broad and Race streets ; that is not
without an interesting history. At the south
east corner stands the City Armory. These
buildings were erected about the era of the
consolidation of the city proper and the sur
rounding municipalities, as market houses.
They were dedicated to public use in the year
1554, but the whole affair was a loss to the city.
The rent and premium of stalls for the drat
year did not pay oneper cent. on the amount of
principal required to erect the buildings. The
second year, nobody occupied the stalls, and
the new market-house fell at once into disuse.
They are very strong buildings. An attempt
vas made at one - time to have them appropria
ted for school , purposes:' Since the rebellion ,
tAe bbildings have been used es the city at. -
Mori, and now they are pretty well filled with
batteries, harneasy and other appurtenances
incident to such heavy warlike institutions.
The Geed-Will Engine-house, a handsome
building, adjoins the armory. From its top
very good view can be obtained of the great
metropolis of the country—our own Philadel
phia. The ear passei on, and is a short time
the eye will rest on the beauties of Franklin
Square, its fountain jets, and crowds of joyous
children playing in the shade of the spreading
branches of the trees within the enclosure.
NATIONAL GUARDEV HALL
This is another large building that adds to
the beauty and value of Philadelphia. It was
built, by order of the National Guards, Captain
Peter Lyle. Before the rebellion, this was the
largest military company in Philadelphia.
Each member carefully guarded his self-res
peer, and therefore ouparada-clay, the Guards,
with their big bearskin bats, never failed to
draw largely upon the admiration of the popu
lace. In the more stirring times of war, the
Guards soon swelled into the proportion of a
regiment, and early responded to the call of
the President. The building is used for va
rious' purposes, balls, parties, concerts, Ite.
Near4yopposite the hall may be seen the

GERMAN BBFORHED CHURCH
The First German Reformed Church build
ing, as will be seen, is situated on the south
side: of Race street, below Fourth: It is 10.
`dated at. some distance from the line of the
street; is a plain, unpretending structure,
with a pretty iron railing and'base in front.
This is one of the oldest churches in the city,
and it Possesses considerable beauty in its
brick-work arrangements. It was in this
church that Washington used to worship. The
identical pew from which used to ascend his
voice in prayer and praise, was. carefully pre
served when the interior was modernized a
few years since. The old pews were so high In
their backs, that even if the attendants desired
to see the latest style of bonnets they could
hardly do so even when standing. A very
tall and strong steeple adorns the west 'end
of the building. It contains the first
chime• of bells ever received in Philadel
phia. The steeple was constructed some
years subsequent to the erection of the build
ing. The small windows about half way up
the spire, used to be considered the most con
venient mark for firemen to try their best
hand engines. The Delaware engine some
years since stood in La Grange, now Ledger
Place ; in speaking familiarly of the apparatus,
she used to be called the ship," from the
fact that this was the embellishment of the
engine. At a certain time in each passing
year, the engine would be stationed at the
base of the tower. A member would ascend
the interior of the spire and hold a handker
ebief out of one of the little windows. The
engine, fully manned with strong men, would
be played, the stream directed for the hand
kerchief ; should this article be brought down
soaking wet, it was considered evidence that
s ome pretty tall playing had been accom
plished. The old Delaware has been removed
from its old quarters, and no more is its power
tested, by squirting water on Christ Church
steeple. This sacred edifice has two niches in
its lower front on Second street, just the places
for sacred statuary, or other emblems of
Christianity.
As the car passes along Second street, the
vision' will be attracted by the old Penusyl•
vania Bank building, a marble structure, that
was once to be converted into a post-office.
The work was commenced in the rear of the
was stopped after a considerable
part of the foundation had been built. It re
mains in a crumbling condition. The site is
an eligible one for many purposes. It wattld
be a capital plade for a bonded warehouse.
The car now turns up Walnut street, themes
up Dock, and .stops in front of. the Merchant - 0'
Exchange. Thus we close the account of a
brief, and we may say, a pleasant trip. As a
whole, we are Prepared to say that all con
ditions of society may be seen on this round
trip—the poor and the rich—the industrious
and the lazy—places Of activity and places of
silence—the stately mansion and the humble
cottage—immense foundries, factories, mills,
and warehouses, wholesale and retail business
marts ; all in one grand comprehensive whole,
furnishing a pretty good view of the lights
and shades of Philadelphia.
New Putiliestions
Henry Zsehohke, is a German author, many
of whose novels are well known in this
country, through the medium.of translation,
and are much liked for their lively and na
tural humor. He has also written a volume of
"Field-flowers," (Feld Blama.,) which were
published after his death, and a popular de
scription of the twenty-two Cantons of S witzer
land. His permanent reputation will probably
rest upon his large work, " Roars Of Prayer,"
(Siunden der Andaeht,) which excited so much
hostility in Switzerland, on account of its
beterodoxy, that he had to seek an asylum in
his native Germany, hut 'finally returned to
Switzerland, where he died in June,lB4S. This
great work, written• during Napoleon's later
wars, is now being published by Mr. J. Kohler,
202 North Fourth street, who hat already
brought out the first moiety in two handsome
/Iwo. volumes. The author, who is considered
the reverse of orthodox by the llerznan clergy,
really took such a fair and liberal view of the
Christian faith, as one who sincerely believed
and endeavored to act as he advised others to
act,best could have written. We refer, par
ticularly, for the author's enlarged views, to
his account (Vol. 11, p. 865) of " The Christian's
Belief," which shows, with admirable simplici
ty and clearness, what a Christian's religion is
and how, when real, it must show itself in the
life of the person who holds it. A good trans
lation of this work, the remaining two vol
umes of which Mr. Kohler now has in the press,
would have a great sale, we are persuaded.
It probably would not receive much clerical
encouragement, for its expositions and teach
ing are probably too simple and direct, as con
trasted with their own occasionally vetbose
pulpit oratory, but the work is high in par.
pose and excellent in execution,and cannot be
too widely known.
Mr. Kohler has also published the second
volume of W. 0. Von Horn's Collected Tales,
(Gesconmette Erzaplungenj containing five
stories, the second of which is of considerable
length. It is neatly illustrated.
THE MAGAZINES
From Mr. T. it. Callender, Third and Walnut
streets, we have Harper's Magazine for August,
containing the usual variety of articles in
prose and verse, with twenty-seven illustra
tions. "Armadale" and "Our Mutual Friend"
are Continued, the latter as far as the close of
the third book. The number is unusually
rich in original article.% and, we need scarcely
say, extremely readable.
From Mr. T. B. Pugh, corner of Sixth and
Chestnut, we have /fours at Homc for August,
and we can congratulate the editor, (Mr. J. M*
Sherwood,) upon the decided improvement in
this over the first number. There iS a line en
graving, "The Church Under Ground ;"it is
very effective and original, Mr. T. Nast is the
designer. “Napoleon, a Myth," translated by
J. P. Thompson, D. D., is a singularly curious
article.
The frontispiece of Peterson's Ladies' Maga
zine, Tepresentins - Rani (‘ among the alien
corn," is a charming subject; well engraved.
The latter-press and fashion plates arc as good
as usual.
Frank Leslie's Chimney Corner, of which nine
numbers have now appeared, is a new literary
weekly, edited with a great deal of judgment.
We are inclined to say, from the ability exhi
bited in the literary department, the artistical
merit of the nunferous ettb-ravings, and the
proper tone of the entire letter-press, that this
is by far the best publication of its class now
issued in this country. Received from J. J.
Kromer, 403 Chestnut street.

THE PHILOSOPHY OF ES:FERIMENTS.—TO few
circumstances are we more indebted for our
perfection in science, than to the successful
experiments of practical men. This was
brought forcibly hometo us the other day by
reading over the names of individuals who re
ceived medals and premiums from the Ameri
can Institute of New York in 1860. We were
particularly struck with one article which was
awarded a very high prize. In the little me
moirs' of the successful candidates at the
American Institute, we find that Mr. Speer
had been, for nine years, preparing his cele
brated Samburg Port Wine, which has since
proved so decided a success. Nine years of
unwearied.. labor, close study, heavy outlay,
innumerable experiments, are a long period
to look back on, yet Mr. Speer can look with
satisfaction on the years so spent, when he is
conscious that his wish has been consum
mated. We are glad Mr. Speer has lived to see
his Saniburg Port Wine supersede the abomi

are yearly poisoned.—&ienglic American.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The daily reports of the stock market grow
tamer with each succeeding day, and money
writers are at a loss for words to express the
the dulness of trade. The same stereotyped
phrases come up daily, and it is impossible to
to predict when they will give way to others
that will express lively times and stirring
trade. As to stocks, there is scarcely a shadow
of the business done in them that we noted six
months ago. It is a general prediction, how
ever, that the Coming fall will- witness a
spirited revival in all branches of industry,
and that the general activity will extend itself
to the stock market. That the oil excitement,
which raged so furiously this time a year ago,
will ever regain a similar ascendancy is not
general believed, but there is good ground for
the opinion that that species of stock jobbing
will be very extensive. All holders of oil
stocks, are looking hopefully for the time, in
order that they may be enabled to unload the
heavy financial burdens which they are now
carrying at such vast loss. Doubtless these
very parties now so anxious to sell will be the
firmest then to hold on, believing that there
is still a better prospect than has yet deve
loped itself. each advando of their stock
renders them the more sanguine, and the less
likely will they be to sell out at figures which
now they Would be glad to get. There is nothing
in the circumstances of the case to warrant
the low prices now prevalent, and shrewd men
are beginning to see that now is the time to
buy that they may profit by the future rise.
The sales at the stock board on Saturday
were very limited, the chief movement being
in Reading Railroad, of which some 2,000 shares
were disposed of at from 51% to 51%—closing,
however, at 51%. Government loans continue
inactive, there being very little doing; sales

thirties sold at par. Of company bonds there
were further sales of Lehigh 6s, .84, at 95; and
Camden and Amboy Mortgage Ss at 99, In City

Compound interest notes are now in active
demand for investment. There are five diffe
rent issues, and all have three years to run
from the date stamped in red ink on their
face. The first issue is dated June 10,1884; the
second issue, July 15, 1864; the third issue, Au_
gust is, Mt; the fourth issue, October 15, 1664,
and the fifth. issue, December 15, 1864. The
Compound interest notes are payable three
years from these dates, at which time every
$lOO-note will be worth $119.40. Those of June
are selling, says the Pittsburg Commercial, at
WM per cent. premium, in that city ;those of
July at 1,462134 ; the August notes at Itimg, and
those of October at yig%. In Septenlber no
compound interest notes were issued, and
those of the latter dates still pass as currency.
In order to meet the requirements of the
Treasury until Congress can make new appro.
priations, the issue of certificates will neces
sarily require to be very large. They are,
however, a very convenient form of Seenrlty,
and with their facility of itanefer, cannot pro•
duce any tightness in money, as appears to be
apprehended in some quarters, but, on the
other hand, must rather tend toward infia.
tion.
The State Auditor of Illinois has rendered a
decision with regard to the taxation of shares
in National banks, in which he takes the
ground that, although a National Bank is not
required to pay taxes on its capital stock, the
stockholders must make a return of the
amount of their share therein, with their per
sonal property, and be taxed thereon accord
ingly.
The prospects for both an import and export
tradg for the remainder of the summer, and
for the fall months, says the New York Times,
are generally deemed encouraging. Somefears
are expressed, however, that the business of
importation may run ahead of the consnmP
tive demand, as manufacturers on the other
side are evidently enlarging their views of the
American markets, and directing their con
signments accordingly. The remark applies•
to continental as well as British fabrics. The
exports of specie continue to be confined to a
few inconsiderable parcels of bar gold and
foreign gold and silver coin.
The Pottsville Miner's Journal of Saturday
says of the coal trade
The demand for coal has increased some,
and prices are firm at the old rates, but so far
there has been no advance in the price of coal
here, nor is there likely to be any advance
before August or September. Prices, however,
will be no lower this season, and as coastwise
freights are advancing, we advise dealers and
consumers abroad to commence laying in their
Coal, if they desire to Swve.money. It will also
prevent a great 'mall in the fall of the year for
coal, when the pricesmight be run up to a high
figure, which would be a heavy ta,x upon those
who can only afford to purchase coal as they
require it during the winter season.
The miners and laborers are generally ac
quiescing in the reduction of thirty or forty per
cent. on their wages, in this region. We re
peat that this reduction ought not to be
pushed further, with the present ruling prices
of living Where wages have been ruling at
about uniform prices. But coal Operators in
form us that in some instances miners have
made from ee to $8 a day, working by con
tract, and in those cases they have asked for a
reduction of fifty per cent. Where such is the
case fifty per cent. would not be too great a re
duction, but we presume there are not
many such cases. In one instance, we are in
by an operator, that three men at his
colliery; made on a contract last year, *3,000
The loss in tile supply of anthracite coal
this year, so far, is 931,060 tons,whieh is 17 74100
per cent. The loss from Schuylkill county, so
far, is 365,698, or 17 73-100 per cent., which shows
that we . have maintained our proportion of
the trade, notwithstanding the general stop
page in this region. This is better than we
anticipated. We had supposed that our pro
portion bf the loss was larger.
The Schuylkill navigation sustained but lit
tle thump by the recent freshet. The boats
were running again on Wectn‘sday.
The Lehigh canal, we learn, sustained no
damage by the freshet to interrupt naviga
