A Valuable and Interesting
'Old
Timer."
To tit Edih of the Heeald :
I send yon a few items that you can insert
in your valuable jonnsal if found worthy of
space. I have hail the pleasure of listening
to several lectures delivered m Cambria Co
by Col. George Hunter, or "Timus." the
while chief of the Paious Indians of Wash
ington Territory. The Colonel, it is said by
Western journals and Bancroft, the great Pa
cific cist historian, has passed th rough (as
scout! more perils and hanlships than any
otlier man now alive on the Pacific coast.
He '.the Colonel i is on his way to Washing
ton, D. C, to plead before the Congressional
committee Sr tlie volunteers and sufferers
of the Indian wars in Oregon, Washington
and Idaho. The Colonel is the author of the
book " Reminiscences of an Old Timer, it
being a correct history of his adventures in
the Pacific States ami Territories dnring the
post forty years. The Colonel has appointed
George II. Thomas his agent for the sale of
his book in Somerset county. The book and

Patriotism vs. Rnetorie.
Ejirrow Heb.ilo: The oration delivered
by George William Conia, at Gettysburg, on
the 3d ot JnJy, is perhaps as fine a piece of
word-painting as any that has been produced
on a like occasion, bat when we read it
alongside of the words of Abraham Lincoln,
uttered on the same spot, at the first dedica
tion of the ground, it sinks in to mere rhet
orical cant.
One not actpiaimed with the history of the
civil war, would hardly learn from Mr. Cur
tis's address that there was any deeper prin
ciple in vol red than contention for the honor
of victory ; and that where both sides be
barrd with so much Talor, the glory is
equally due to the blue and the gray. Mr.
Curtis says : - It was a war of constitutional
Tindulion on one side, of constitutional in
terpretation on the other."
He does not say that the principle that wot
vindicated there, was nothing less than the
equal rights of all men as claimed in the
Declaration of Independence, and the right
of the Government to preserve its own life :
nor does he tell us that the interpretation of
the Constitution that failed there, was the
i treasonable claim of a right u rend the na-
j Uon asunder, and to destroy tlie constituuon
itself.
He says that the survivors of both armies
now meet to celebrate a omnia victory.
What do he mean by a common victory ?
The sentimental gush of this oration becomes
nauseous when we are reminded that it was
spoken to men who weic wearing what were
the badges of treason and rebellion at the
time when the battle was fought ; wearing
them not simply as mementoes of the battle,
but as expressions of their devotion to the
lost cause. If this is not true, what does
Gen. Bradley T. Jonnson mean when he suys
that "every Confederate soldier carrieschain
ed to his heart a casket of his dead hopes
and aspirations." and boasts that Confeder
ate soldiers control the Government of the
the United States ?
George William Curtis poses before the
people of America, as the representative and
apostle of a higher and more refined culture
and civilization than has yet reached our
shores; ot British snobbery and toadyism
vs. what he has called the coarseness and
vulgarity of the " rowdy wet ; and he holds
np the ex-Sheritf of Erie County. New York,
as the ideal American gentleman, after whom
we shall all take pattern.
He does not very ably support his high
pretensions in the Gettysburg oration, for by
ignoring the principle at stake in the conflict
he giorilics the courage itself as the thing to
be honored, and dies not recognize that the
holiness of the cause defended alone justified
the shedding of blood ; and in proportion as
the cause was sacred on one side, the assail
ing of it was s creligious on the other. War
viewed in any ot her light is naught but the
tii'ist wanton and inhuman butchery.
This indiscriminate glorilication of lighting
and its attendant confounding of the right
whh the wrong, is better suited to a Ceitic
bard, or a Federal troubudor, than to the ex
ponent of a higher civilization.
And when we compare the utterances of
this immaculate representative of English
ideas with the noble, manly words of that
sou of the " rowdy west,'' (Abraham Lin
coin i spoken from his great, earnest heart,
when the burden of a nation's can's rested
heavily upon it, the rhetorical flourishes of
the journalist are as the piping as an oaten
reed, heard amid the subsiding echoes sf the
trumpet that called to duty, and inspired to
heroic deed, when the tension and terror of
the gn at strile was at its height.

A Prophesy of the Weather.
The weather seems to run in cycles of
about seven years ; that is. when we bave a
hot sumnicr it is always followed by a cold
one. and it takiss alsiut seven years to reach
anot ber equally hot. It will be remembered
by many that the summer of 1ST7 was very
j hot, and so dry that during August the
grass crumbled nndcr the feet when trod
upon. The summer of IsiSt was noted fur
its coolness, the thermometer very seldom
getting aiiove so degrees, and we did not
reach the lop wave of thenuality again until
ls74. when it was extremely hot. The fol
lowing summer was cold to a remarkable
d.-grce. From then on the summers grew
gradually warmer until lssl, which was ex
cessively hot and very dry. no rain Jailing
for over nine weeks: and there were more
sunstrokes tliat summer than there has been
si nee.
The summer of 15. was unite cold ; a few
flakes of snow fell on the morning of July 4,
followed by hail in the afternoon, and dur
ing the rest of the month and through the
month of August the temperatnre was so
low that overcoat s were necessary for com
fort, particularly at night. The summers
sims; l-,sj have grown warmer, and hist sum
mer was a moderately hot one ; but unless
all signs fail, the coming summer will be the
climax of the cycle, and a hot, dry seasou
may be expected.

Not long ago the General invited the Colonel
to come down to Harrisbarg to dine with
him. The invitaiiou was accepted, and the
ninety-year old Colonel traveled fifty-two
miles over the Cumberland Valley Railroad
to take dinner with the ninety-year-old Gen
eral. After the meal bad been served, and
a tempting one, too, it was, the General be
gan to tease McKibben lor the Jackson pic

no wise to blame. Only one horse of extra j

here, only tliat he was injured shortly before

have not learned. There were thirty dollars

Peaches in plenty is the won! that comes '
from the Delaware orchards and from the j
other great peach pmdmiins regions. Fast,
West, Xorth, and South. Jhe peach crop of
the Iviaware-Maryland peninsula for this
year is variously estimated from five million
to eleven million baskets, and it is pretty
safe to. approximate the yield at the first
named figures. It is estimated that peaches
wili not net the growers more than twenty
five cents a basket this year, and these prices
which are remunerative to the growers, will
allow the commission men a reasonable
profit. Great preparations are making by
the transporters to handle the crop.
Weather Bulletins.
The following is the the report sent out
from the Pennsylvania State weather service
office at Philadelphia under date of June 30 t
The rainfall during the past week was
abundant, well distributed and timely. Most
stations report over one inch and some over
two inches?. It will probably average oue
and a half imhes thmnghout the Slate.
There has been no complaint of dronth re
ceive.!. The temperature as very high and
decidedly above the normal until Thursday,
when it fell suddenly to as great a departure
below as it had beeu above.
The sunshine was seasonable and surB
cient for growing cpps. but during the latter
part of the week it was not favorable for
curing hay. Tlie extreme heat during the
early part of the week cause.! wheat to ripen
rapidly, and considerable was barvesied in
York and Cumberland counties. With fav
orable weather grain-harvesting and hay
making will be active during the coming
week. The pr.spect3 for Iarg crops are fa
vorable, and the oin-litioiis are promising
for all growing crops. Corn U improving

Many Italians Suffering.
Xaw Yokk, July 7. The results of excess-
ive Italian imniurration into this country are j
now serion.!y felt, and the Italian Inirai
jrrant society is bavins a hard strafe to
keep a large number of Italians who are in
this country without work from starvina.
The president of the society estimates that at
least S,i Italians are in this and neihiior
ing cites in actual want ofiuud. Tlie onler
recently istnicd by the board of health, the
effect of which wiil be to materially lessen
tlie number of occupants of the tenements in
the Italian quarter, will put an additional
cause of suffering on many of them. Re
quests for a number of men have been re
ceived from Virginia ar.d other states for
railroad and fannwork. and the society
hopes to get rid of many of them.
