"The course of human events" is full of
u..i;b!e dealing, treachery and hypocrisy.
It is found in all ages, sexes and conditions
of satiety. It lurks in the palaces of
i-niperurs and kings as well as in the hovel
of the peasant ; in the pulpit, and in the
broader sphere of the statesman and diplo
mat. This trait of the human character has
met with the general condemnation of all
sires. The philosopher has moralized over
it.j die poet scorned it, the pulpit anathe
ruized it, and popular idiguation dragged
those who obtained power by it in the
dust ; vet it has ever fouud its excusors

xr AireTlar meetiof Minneola Lodge,
, - ' . ofP- held August 12, 1876,
the following preamble and resolution were
adopted :
m Whereas, An allwise Providence has
in his luMnite wisdom removed from us by
death our esteemed brother, Charles II.
Ilinton, one of the charter members and
Past Chancellors of Minncola Lodge, No.
3G5, and at the same time K. of R,and S.
Therefore, be it
Resolved, That whilst we bow in
humble submission to the will of our heaven
ly Father, we feel we have lost a kind and
noble brother, a pleasant companion, and
that we will ever cherish him in grateful
remembrance, aud strive to emulate his
good virtues.
Resolved, That by his death we are re
minded of the great truth, "In the midst
of life we are in death," and that the arrow of
the insatiate archer in its unerring mission,
has stricken one whom we had just reason
to believe would be useful and fraternal in
his relation to our noble Order.
Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize
with the bereaved family in this their sad
affliction, and may the God of grace and
mercy support and bless his family and
cover tbeir defenseless heads with the
shadow of his Almighty wings.
Resolved, That our charter be draped
in mourning for ninety days. .
Revolved, That these resolutions be
spread on the minutes, and published in
the Jeffersoxiax and Monroe Democrat,
and a copy to be engrossed and properly
framed and sent to the bereaved tamily.

The Phillipsburg Journal says a child
in Bogg township, Centre county, swal
lowed two dozen potato bugs aud was none

A New Jersey Court of Pardons refuses
to make known the names ot the objects of
their clemency, giving as a reason that the
fact of the pardon of a recreant father or
son was. in most cases, the first intimation
their families would receive that they had
been in prison.
The New York Tribune says of the Eel
knap impeachment case that "if justice has
been cheated in the result, it is due to the
bungling management of Mr. Clymer and

There was an oM man namrd Tilrlon

And that's what's the matter with Hannah.
Kx-Govcrnor Dix, of New York, thus
writes to tbe New York Tribune upon the
silver question :
One of your correspondents lays great,
stress upon the consideration that tbe
adoption of the silver dollar as a standard
at its present value, and making it a legal
tender, would impair the obligation of
contracts, which, he says, the Government
has no right to do. What, then, does he
think of tbe course of the Government in
making paper without an)- intrinsic value
a legal tender in the payment of individu
al debts ? a measure which the Suprcm
Court of tbe United States (as I conceive,
most erroneously and arbit rally) has pro
nouneed in accordance with the Constitu
tion.
If we were not pledged to resumption of
specie payments, there is no intelligent
creditor who would not prefer that the le
gal tender quality should be conferred on
silver rather thau on paper. There is no
hunt, to the possible depreciation of paper
monev, whereas silver is not likely to fall
still lower in price ; and, but for the suspen
sion oi .specie payments, and the instiution
of fractional currency for coins less than a
dollar, it would probably not have reached
its present depression in price, which is, no
doubt, in some degree artiCcial. I am not
a capitalist, but I am a creditor ; and I do
not hesitate to say that I would gladly ac
cept silver as a legal tender, if the act of
Congress conferring that quality on Gov
ernment paper were repealed thus taking
the chances of an appreciation of the form
er and of a further decline in the latter.
A LAWLESS OUTBREAK.
A Man's House Besieged.
Pottsville, Pa., August 14. this
afternoon Michael Brennan antlJohn Cook
attacked with stones the house of William
Itoeder, at Oakland. One of Roeder's
daughters being severely injured by one of
the stones, he became incensed and fired at
the assailants, instantly killing Brennan.
Cook was arrested and Roeder gave him
self up.
The Coal Combination.
It is stated that the coal ring has patched
nn a compromise, and will raise the price
for the coming Winter. In order to lessen
the supply it is arranged to stop mining
for two weeks in August, thus throwing
the loss upon the workingmen, while they
increase the price to consumers. Nothing
could be more unjust. Coal, like every
thing else, must go down. The miners are
f-.hmiorincr fur steady work : the people
demand lower rates for coal. Steady work
at the mines will give us ctieap coai, ana
r-hean coal will increase manufacturing ac
tivity by lessening the cost of production.
There are some signs that tne coal monopoly
will be unable to successfully harmonize its
various interests and stem the tide of public
opinion. Judge Asa Packer, Pesident of
the Lehigh Valley Company, is not satisfied
with the present arrangement, and is in
favor of lower prices. Should he withdraw
the combination would" speedily dissolve,
and the people get their Winter's coal at
f-dr rates. Meanwhile the whole public is
rowing impatient under this arbitrary
dictation. With abundance ot coal, miners
nri-xious for work, and a fair demand at
reasonable prices, these monopolists shut
up the mines, impoverish the workmen and
nvfireharire the public. It can scarcely be
possible that so unnatural and unrighteous
state of aftairs can oe permanent;.
Correction. When the blind follow the

in this, those of the other cities will follow,
unless the high rents they are now paying
will prevent it.

What has Become of the Potato Bugs?
Now that the potato bug has disappeared
from Lehigh and adjoining counties, some
little interest is aroused as to what part of
the country is favored with therr visits.
Does the following, from an exehange, an
swer the query ?
A day or two ago a party ot gentlemen
fishing near the middle of Long Island
Sound, saw great quantities of potato bugs
covering the surface of the water as far as
the eye could reach. Every floating arti
cle, as well as the water, was packed with
them, and many were clinging to eelgrass
and seaweed under the water. The wind
was blowing from the south, and had prob
ably carried them from the island, and they
were being wafted to the Connecticut shore.
Inland on the island the bugs appear to be
increasing in numbers", and the potato' vines
being dry, they have attacked the egg
plants, pepper plants, and tomato vines.
There is a heavy run of salmon in the
Columbia river, and to so great an extent
as to tax all the canners to their utmost
ability, compelling some establishments to
turn their attention to barreling their sur
plus fish. -
Prickly heat is an annoying complaint
from which very few people are exempt
during very warm weather. A little suds
from strong carbolic soap, rubbed upon the
excoriated surface, it is said will speedily
allay the irritation and resore tbe skin to
its natural appearance.
A Snake Nearly 10 Feet Long.
From the Reading Eagle.
Oweri Deetz, employed at the Three
Mile House, Cumru township, with a num
ber of others were in Yocum's woods a few
days ago. They had a small dog with
them. During the aftcrnoou the dog was
heard barking at a furious rate, and Mr.
Deetz went to see what the matter was.
When he got there he saw a large snake
coiled twice around the trunk of a tree, and
it was biasing and fighting for life with the
dog. Mr. Deetz dispatched the black reptile
with a stone, and when stretched out it
measured nine feet four inches long. This
is stated to be no fancy measurement, but
is represented' to bo straight and right.
The snake wad thin considering its great
length, and it had two white spots on the
back of its head, just forward the neck. It
is said to be the longest snake of the kind
ever killed in that section, the measure
ment of which was to be relied upon.

The Indian Campaign.
COMPLETENESS OF CROOK'S COMMAND.
A correspondent writing from headquar
ters on Goose Creek, on the 3d of August,
says : "General Crook's forces could pass
over the roughest country without further
replenishing to the Missouri river on the
north, Wind river on the southwest, or the
Indian agencies on the southeast. Men
and horses have been severely drilled daily
for the past month, the force composing
the Fifth Cavalry has long been trained to
firing on horseback. Men and animals arc
in superb condition. There is compara
tively no sickness among the former, and
the latter have been thorougldy toughened
to this kind of work. This is undoubtedly
the strongest, finest-equipped and best of
ficered expedition yet sent against our
savage foe. The Shoshone allies are led
by their great chief, Washaki, in person.
All lead extra war ponies, which are re
markable for fine appearance and fleetness.
A small white flag worn on top of the war
bonnet, a scalp lock will in battle distinguish
these warriors from enemy. These, as well
as a few Ute warriors present, are the
flower of their tribes. More Utes are now
on tbe way hither. Some Bauuock3 are
also looked for."
The Smallestof the Girls.
A large number of physicans went in
Tony Pastor's Theatre, New York, on Mon
day, to see the Mexican dwarf, Lucia Za
rate. They measured her, and ascertained
her height to be 21 inches, her feet three
inches long, her legs below the knees to be
4 inches in circumference, and her hands
an inch and a quarter broad. Her mother,
who is robust and of a medium size, says
that Lucia is twelve years old. Her face
is older than that. Her features arc
Spanish, and her complexion dark. Her
activity is incessant. She played pranks
with the physicians and talked last in
Spanish. She stepped into a high silk hat,
crouched down, and was out of sight ex
cepting her head. She squeezed one of
her pliable little hands through a rather
large finger ring. The hands of an adult
made an ample scat for her. Standing on
a chair, and holding to the back of it, her
fingers stack through the spaces in tbe
canework--holes . that just permitted the
passage of a Small penholder . She was not
weighed, but her weight is said to be five
pouuds ; and, porscd in the hand, she docs
not seem heavier. Her clothing is comical
ly small, as th'oti'gh intended for a doll, the
shoes and stockings especially being toylike.
Tom Thumb' has grown appreciably since
he was exhibited by Barnum, but when he
first astonished the public he was twice as
big as Lucia, and he was then her present
age. She has not grown any, her mother
says, since she was a year old.
