" I give it op, girls exclaimed Xora Campbe!!, throwing LerclietniBtryon the Bc!iool-room table, and positing her hair buk from her brow with an impatient movement It is too warm to s'ndy, and Profesfior Clack has no right to give us anything to suggest fires to-day, when the not th pole wonld be an earthly par alise. It ia with the greatest effort we can prevent some chemical change in o irelves with the thermometer 98 degs, in the shade." " I feel as though I were being rapidly changed from solid to liquid form," re plied onecf her school-m ites. " Well, I am sere of one thing. Miss Nora," said the yoontr teacher whose du ty it was to sit with the girls during the study hour; "a chemical change must hve taken place if you are willing to risk a failure in'vour examination." ' But why is 't necessary to learn the Latin nanus V inquired Xora. I hliall never study either medicine or pharma cy, and it very greatly increases the labor." Vhen you study metaphysics you will understand the reason for what you deem nnnecenFary studies," answered her in structor. "In reality, my dear, every hit of information which yoa store away for the future is useful, either for its intrinsic value, or because the effort of acquiring it disciplines the mind and makes future effort easier." After a moment's silence, she continued : ' ' " I heard you run over the scales this morning before you began to practice your soQuta. Was not that a waste of time this morning whan the concert is so near" " Not for me," replied Nora, looking up in surprise from the chemintry lesson which she had resumed. " I can always play better after practicing tho scales ; it limbers my fingers." The smile on her teacher's face which greeted her matter of fact answc r was a revelation. " Ah ! I see now w hat you mean," she exclaimed, in a significant tone. " Always remember that mental effort is the exercise which prepares the nind for difficult execution, and unnecewary studies may be the scaler," replied the teacher. Nora had been a pupil at a Young La dies Seminary in Ashville for three years goinglhere when twelve years ofage.ar.d during that time had main'ained her po si'ion as leader among her schoolmates, both in class and in the recreation room. " I cannot help learning, girls," she exclaimed on one occasion when her's was the only perfect examination paper, dimpling and smiling w hen the result was read. The following week Xora started' with her parents for the West, where they in tended to pass the summer. They went first to vifit Mr. Campbell's brother, who lived with his family in a village in Illinois, situated on the out skirts of what was then a vast prairie. Indeed, so scattered were the houses in that year, 18S-"), that one could ride for many miles without seeinga house while fences, except in villages, were not known. The journ ey was through a country which they had never visited, and the scene, as viewed from the car windows, was a constantly changing picture ol which they never wearied. The last two days were passed in a stage-coach, and when Nora was seated on top of the lum bering vehicle beside her lather, her de light knew no bounds. Her uncle's houie was large and com fortable, primitive in its simplicity, but limitless in his hospitality. His land ex tended for several miles along a stream, and this feature gave it the name of Riv er ranch. The family consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell, and their two childien. The elder had just returned from s medical college, where he had taken his degree, while the younger, Alice, wag about Nora's age, and proved a compacton "af ter her own heart." Nora was delighted with what she saw and nothing was esteemed a greater treat by the guests than to drive "Dr. Arthur-" and lieten to the stories of the Indians who once roamed those plains with which he entertained them. It seemed to Nora that she could hear the tramping of the boohs as a herd of buffalo scudded over the prairie, and that she expected to see some gaily painted warriors appear in pursuit. One morning word came from a ranch about fifteen miles distant that the own er's child was ill. The regular phvscian family physician for every one within a radius of thirty miles was cooSned to bis bed, suffering from a sunstroke, and Arthur consented to go as Lis substitute. He invited the girls to accompany him, and with a jesting remark on the new ness of his medicine-case they started on their drive. The road followed the stream for a few mi lea, then turned into a path which lay over the prairie. The morning was de lightful, but later in the day it promised to be very warm. There had been no rain fur several weeks, and the grass which covered the, ground, growing ia omei SOMERSET, some places to height of several feet, was parched and dry. hen they reached " .Starve Rock," the doctor rested his horse long enough to repeat its history. A party of Indians were once surprised by a hostile tribe of superior number near that place. Bravely did they resist the attack, and when night came the ground was thickly strewn with fallen warriors. Then, guided by the rule which governs Indian warfare " discretion is the better part of valor " the remnant of the party took advantage of the darkness to retreat to the great rock which stands on the river bank. The enemy followed and snrronnded them. As escape was impossible, they bravely preferred death by starvation, rather than to fall alive into the hands of their merciless f.ie. Thus they per ished all but one. lie attempted, to es cape by the river, lowering himself by the wild grape-vines which overhung the precipitous side of the rock. His body floated djwn the current, pierced by a dozen arrows. Nora enjoyed her ride so much, she was almost sorry when they reached their destination. The doctor assured the mother that nothing serious ailed her child, and as it was approaching noon they accepted Mrs. Wheeler's cordial in vitation to dinner. Afterward, Mr. Wheeler took them to look at the horses, and it was lute in the afternoon when they madu their a lituaand sta.ted for home. They had gone but a few miles when the air seemed to become heated, while a smoky odor was noticeable. Alice, whose olfactories were very HeoMtive, first no ticed it and called her brother's attention to the fact. " Why," he exclaimed, glancing rapid ly around, " it smells like burning grass." " IVrbaps a remnant of Cooper's lah eotahs are trying to burn ns out," sug gested Nora, laughing. Her companions did not reply ; but taking out his w hip, Arthur touched the bore with it. The animal's inetinct warned hitn of the need of haste, for he Sied acnaw the prairie in a way which proved his reputation for ?j!;d to be well merited. " Look 1" exclaimed Alice suddenly, and looking back they saw that the prai rie was on tire. " Is there any danger?" aked Nora, anxiously, with a loug glance over her shoulder. "Not if we can reach the river," replied her cousin. On, on they fairly flew over the ground ; when, suddenly, the front wheel ceased to revolve, as the axle bad become heated. The horse, excited now beyond control, galloped on, pulling the wagon with its drugging wheel for a few yards ; then the axle broke, and Nora and her cousin were thrown out upon the hard ground. Neither of the girta were much injur ed, but the doctor's leg was doubled un der him in a way which rendered it im possible for him to stand on it, and after an effort to rise, he sank buck. " (jo without me," he said, and became unconscious. What could they do ? Moments were passing and the shadow of death was al ready on their heads. Gazing into each other's faces with w hitening lips and de spairing eyes, each involuntarily shook her bead in answer to the mete question, What can we dor' We could make a fire break, but I have neither matches nor tinder-box said LAlice, who had searched her brother's pockets only to find an empty match box. The fire was rapidly approaching, cora iDg nearer every moment. Paralyzed by fear, Nora could still think of her home and pray that she should see them again. The flames reminded her of somethins. Could it be? She put her hand to her brow for a seeond with her old, perplexed gesture ; t,hen sprang to her feet. " Arthur's medicine client! Quick! where is it? Snatching it from the ground where it lay, she wrenched itopen, and after st jj ying iu contents, quickly selected the vi als containing sugar, chlorate of potash and sulphuric acid. Well for her that the had conquered her last chemistry lesson. Sugar and chlorate of potash will unite in combustion if a very few drops of sul phuric acid lie poured on the mixture. Who could have thought that this ! statement would be verified on the prai rie? Nora emptied the potash on theground ! and added the sugar, and after mixing I them, poured on a few drops of the acid. A slight explosion instantly followed, and a purple flame appeared, from which the dry grass caught fire. The wind, kind at last, hastened the conflagration : and, spreading as it burned, the tire scon cleared a path before them. As soon as the sparks had disappeared from the smoking ground, Nora and Al ice, by a great effort, conveyed their un conscious companion to a place which Alice deemed a safe distance. Then they sank down exhausted. They were soon surrounded by a wall of fire, and almost suffocated by smoke ; but the cruel flames could not reach them. Bat until the fire burned almost to them, around them, and away, they could not realize they were saved. The family at the River Ranch were alarmed when they saw the eastern sky lighted by the prairie fire and when Fire fly arrived alone, they feared their chil dren had perished in the flames. As soon as horses could walk on Die cl tarred ground, the father started out inssaich of the dear ones they feared never again to see. In the midst of the prairie, with tha moonlight shining on their faces, they found the cousins. Arthur had recover ed consciousness, and while he suffered intense pain from his broken limb, it was a thankful load which returned to glad den the heart of the anxious mothers. When the girls ha I bjcome sufficient ly calm, they gave a coherent account of their escape. " How fortunate that Nra was famil iar with the Latin names," said Arthur, " else she could not have selected the proper drug and then even chemistry would not have availed." " Never again shall I complain of Lat in declensions !" exclaimed Nora, vehe mently. "And as for unnecessary stud ies, there are no such things.' ESTABLISHED 1827. EA., WEDNESDAY, A CENTURY ROUNDED THE HUNDREDTH ANNIVER SARY OF WASHINGTON'S INAUGURATION. 50,000 Man in the Grandest Mil itary Display Seen Since the War Ended. New Yobk, April 30. Half million people, massed upon Fifth avenue and Broadway and about the thoroughfares in the vicinity of the Sub-Treasury build ing this morning, witnessed the passage of the Tresident and his only two sur viving predecessors ex-President Hayes and Cleveland from the impressive cer emonies at St. Paul's Church to the Sub Treasury exercises and thence to the great reviewing stand at Madison Square. It was the greatest multitude and the greatest event of the kin 1 known to the history of the commercial metropolis, and every feature of the day was worthy the occasion. ror rossPiiToct hex. The four conspicuous figures of the day's celebration were the three men who have sat in the high place into which Washington wa. inducted a cen tury ago, and that almost forgotten states man w ho spans the period of the count ry's history from the time of the t'nion's second greatest President down to the present day, Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, who was elected Vice President on the eventful day when Abraham Lincoln was chosen to the Presidency. Fully 50, 000 soldiers, with flaunting colors and blaring trumpets, marched up. the city's wide streets, through the arch of tri umph at Twenty-third street and Broad way, and passed the gayly decorated stand on which stood the President with uncovered head. For nearly six hours troop after troop and command following command marched np under the arch and rst the reviewing stand. INCIDENTS THAT W'lU. UK SUEVnElXIl. Four incidents of the day w ill be talk ed of more than any others, and each oc curred in front of the President's plat form on the reviewing stand. The fin-t was the splendid demonstration given to ex-President Cleveland when he alight ed from his carriage at the steps of the platform, w here he was greeted effusive ly by Frederick Douglass, the famous colored orator, and the cheers and huz zahs of the multitude. The second was the magnificent greeting lo Governor Gordon, of teorgia, to whom the vast crowds on the densely packed stands fairly rose en mafse. Women waved their handkerchiefs and mew threw their hats high in the air as the battle-scared hero rode by and received the President's salute. The third memorable incident was the conspicuous but much less spon taneous cheering which greeted t'.ie ap pearance of Governor Forskex, of Ohio. But the most notable of any of these noteworthy events was the significant ab sence of any cheering or applau e when Governor Hill passed, although he was delayed in front of the stand for fully three minutes by an accident to bis bri dle. pnfiriENT Harrison's ArwnuTirs. The President stood up bravely for the six hours of the afternoon's jianule, but he looked sallow and pale by turns, a fact which was freely commented npon by tii'xe close enough to h.g party to scan his features. The President was at times abstracted and absent-minded, frequently forgetting to salute the colors of the different com mands, and once or twice neglecting to acknowledges the salute of the Generals of Divisions. He was, however, on the lookout for Governor Beaver and the Pennsylvania troops, an I was especially gracious in his greeting to the Keystone States's Executive, as he ws also to Gov ernor Green, of New Jersey. The flow ing white locks and demonstrating bow ing to the right and left by Governor Biggs, of Delaware, elicited hearty rounds of cheers from the densely packed stands along the route. Senator tliggins, who was next to the President's party on the reviewing stand, pointed eagerly out to Vice President Morton the Delaware dis play, which was very creditable. Pennsylvania's national gi- nr. Arrayed in all the habiliments of war. Pennsylvania's National Guard presented a striking contrast with the apjiearance of the other troops in the day's great military display. Their dress was not as pleasing to the eye of the average spec tator as the uniforms of other commands n line in their gay holiday attire, but there was no mistaking the fact that they looked like soldiers who could be depend ed npon in any crisis. They were gener ously applauded at every point along the line, and their reception by the multi tude in the vicinity of the reviewing stand partook of a genuine ovation. General Sherman, the ex-Commander of the armies of the United Stat?s, who stood by President ( Harrison's side re viewing the parade, could not help par ticipating in the applause, and the plain dress and heavy marching uniform of the 7,500 citizen soldiers of the Keystone State filled him with such delight that he was outspoken as to their admirable ap pearance. Governor Beaver, with his one leg, was an object of muchadmiration as he rode proudly np Fifth avenue at the head of the division strapped firmly in the sad dle. His crutches aere carried by a mounted aid, and Adjutant Genera! Hast ingswhose presence denoted that he was a soldier through and through rode by his side. The Governor's salute to the President was a picture of grace, and the Pennsylvania Legislators' cheers, mingled with those of the crowd, testified how earnest was the greeting extended to him. The Governor's troop folio we-1 be hind the Governor's staff, and the First City troop came next. The gay troopers were also in the regulation uniform, and they attracted no aiore attention than an ordinary lot of moanted infantry. The appearance of a corps of sappers and miners in the Eighteenth Regiment, carrying picks, axes and shovels, was a feature of the Pennsylvania display. HOST OClSiOLBIEBS LOOKED. The Philadelphia Iivptirtr has done it self proud in its graphic and interesting description of each day's events of the Washington centennial. We make the following extracts from its report of the military pageant: "Now we will show the President soma militia that could start for the wr to x TKT ID MAY 8, 1880. night without having to first go home to change their clothes," exclaimed Legisla tor John II. Fow to his colleagues on the reviewing stand thia afternoon as trie phalanx of biuecoated troo;s from Penn sylvania came in sight marching up Fifth avenue, in striking contrast with the show feathers and fancy dress uni forms of the crack commands from the other States. Pennsylvania scored another success to-dain the display of strength and the soldierly bearing of her militia, but at the same time the fact was forcibly impressed on Governor Beaver and the other State officers that the agitation for a State dress uniform is not only well timed, but a matter that demanls immediate atten tion. There were nearly 7,000 Pennsylvania militiamen in the parade to-day. The First brigade, General George R. Snow den, commanding, made a showing of 2, 3.'vS officers anil men. The Second bri gade paraded 2,072 men, and the Third showed l,7t0. The strict observance to regular army regulations, prohibiting more thati one brass band to each bri gade, of course, put the Pennsylvania troops at another disadvantage in the eyes of the average sjiettator, who could not be expected to look on the display from a purely military standpoint. The passage of the foopi was according ly without much attractive music, most of them having to tramp along to the roll of the drums and the piping of the titers. OOVEUNOE ISE.IVEE CHWHD. A mounted color bearer rodo ahead of the comman Is from each Commonwealth which passed in the order or their adop tion of the United States Constitution, ami carried a blue siik flag on which was the name of the State following in letters of cold. It was evident from the ap plause which broke out, as soon as the crowds caught a glimpse of him, that Governor Beaver needed no such intro duction. It was one continuous shout sll alon the line, and college cries and campaign, yells, .here parties of con genial spirits were gathered, made the Governor doff his hat till his arm grew tired. He was particularly warmly greeted as he saluted President Harrison. The Governor was mounted on his favor ite mare Laura, whose flowing mane and well groomed and shiny coat never look ed prettier. There was an an usual darh of spirit in her movements, but she was always under perfect control. The Pennsylvania' right of the line presented an imposing cavalcade. Be sides the Governor's staff and 5Iajor General John F. Hartranft and staff, there were the members of the City Troop, the Sheridan Troop, of Altoona, ond the Governor's Troop, of Harris burg.

Hastings, who was recognized by many as the man who made a nation al reputation by his speech placing Sher man in nomination at the Chicago Con vention and warmly cheered, figured in a lively scene at the lower end of Broad way. He is a stalwart soldier and has to ride a powerful horse. The animal I.e had was as full of Areas he was big and muscular. The cheering got the beast rattled. After preliminary movements, in whirling alxiut in a mail endeavor ap parently to bite off his own tail, the ex cited animal took it into his head to out shine Patti Rosa, and began walking on the toes of his bind feet.

The crosd within the whole block that had witnesbed Hastings' display of horsemanship, gave a great cheer as the general resumed hi ride. CAITAIS KIIHl's HEN. Captain Kidd and the whole ship's eo:uany of the Kaaterskill pat in rather a rough day. All hands turned out ba fore noon and started for the reviewing seats secured for the Pennsylvania Leg islature. They had the southern section of the Presidential stand and the law makers of Ohio and Connecticut oc cupied place adjoining. They had a splendid site for observing the approach of the troops. Their salute to a distin guished soldier or statesman wa always the signal for the crowds on either side of the street to keep up the cheer. They made a great hit with their " P-E-N-N-S-Y-L-V-A-N-I-A-Penn-Syl-Va-N-Ia." cry. Governor Beaver recognized the sa lute at once and bowed acknowledge ments to the applauding Legislature. OIB LEGISLATORS. New York, April 29. A special train of six cars containing Pennsylvania's leg islators and a number of invited guests arrived in Jersey Citya little while after 9 o'clock tliis morning. They boarded the big steamer Kaaterskill and went down the bay where they saluted the Dispatch with President Harrison and his cabinet on board. They then joined in the marine procession. The law ma kers wens well received all along the line and at several points the citizens turned ont en masse to receive tiie honored guests. Representative Brooks, of high license fame, declined to make the. trip, and as the special pullet! out of the Broad Street Station at 0:40 this moraing the coid water ad vocate stood on the platform and good-humoredly endured the dialling to which be was subjected by his feiiow meuibers. The Metropolitan band of Philadelphia accompanied tbe visitor and led the line from the train to the Kaaterskill. Afler lunch bad been served the legislator proceeded down the river. Everyliody was in excellent spirits and John Fow, the new member fro-n Philadelphia, re solved that tbe Pennsylvania legislature should always be retneuibered br the New Yorkers. When the big steamer stopped her wheels down the bay and waited for the president Mr. Fow got ail the members together on the upper deck and as each steamer came by her passen gers were sainted with the Keystone cam paign cry "Penn-syl-va-nia." As a sudplement to this Mr. Fow would cry : "Who was George Washing ton r ! The reply came promptly from his fel- i low members: "The first in war, tbe ! JLXGrdLiU first in peace, and the first in the hearts of his countrymen.- Then wo ild follow a brief song and dance. The peculiar grwttnj; of the Pennsylvanians seemed to catch the New Yorkers, and at all times' until the Dis patch arrived the Kaaterskill wasthecen ter of a big fleet of steamers, each orie's passengers cheering the Keystone legisla tors lustily. About iiV-To o'clock tiie Dispatch with President Hrrison and his cabinet on j board arrived in the bay. When the cannon bad cp-aed booming the Kiater skiil steamed cl-ise to her and s iluted the presi lent with the campaign cry. This was gracefully answered by the president who raised his hat to the Pennsylvania delegation. Afo-r the president had lan. If 1 at the f lot of Wall street.

Gotham' great show was the civic parade to-dav, in which ..earlv I0O.0.-J people took part. The procou started short- ly after 10 o'clock t.is .uorni.vg when darkness came the end of the parade had not nearly reached the re viewing stand. The magnitude of the parade was too great for even New York. When night came the procession broke np in con fusion. To a great extent to-day's parade was a gigantic advertisement fi r the manufacturers of New York. The brew ers, the bakers and all the other indus trial interests were represented by big delegations. The parade was in command of iener al ButterSeld and was uioved promptly. 1; started from op town instead of down town. The line was f jrnied on near Cen tral Park, while the military parade cf yesterday w as formed at the opposite end of the town Battery Place. There was not the same interest shown in to-djy's parade as there was in the mihltary pa rade. While Fifth avenue was black with people there was not anything near like the crowd of yesterday. THE GKKAT Ml LTITI HE. There were more strangers in town to- day than yesterday, but they didn't seem to care so much about the parade. They wandered all over the city in all the principal street an 1 si f uie sign j irom the Central Park Menagerie to the Tjtnbs Prison. Hundre.li and hundreds who had been unable to find a pla.-e to slee p the night before were gia l when day- Ugn.t came. 11 wa3 easy to pick out tlie people who had walked the strata all night. Most of them had hau I bag and showedjafl their faces the fatigue brought about by 1'XS of reht. At the elevated rai.road stations the scene was one of indiscribable confusion all day. The horse cars were crowded, restaurant were packed, silojns were besieged. New York was unprepared f.jrsiich a crowd. People arrived from all over the near-by country during the entire morning. They came by the thousands and hurried up-town. Thous ands bought empty soap boxes at a half dollar apiece in order to hsik over the head-i of the others at thi pir.i le.

The writer has raised one of the best crops of corn in hi half century of farm ing the past stiisoa, although it has not been what farmers call a good corn year. The piece of land was one on which I set j out an orchard nearly forty years ago I through Southern Pennsylvania, w hich grew finely and l-oie fine fruit for j Tlie r.nay!vanii Railroad Company mt msny years, when i blight came over this j tllaijy tear, lt Dpj tlm Chinese man la- set::on that drstroye-t it. with many lar?-e hne vour.z orchanls.

The past year it was used as a field for com. There were a few s:tter:n trees on the six acres, the thrifty ons lieinz left for their fruit; j am tl"a the Yrflow Belhlower was 1 ! sonsoiin) verv tme fruit.

Whether the salt was a preventive or net. we cannot say ; we know that at plowing time the soil j seemed to be full of gmiw : also we know they have done us great injury in years' j pa5t by cutting orT the roots "of growing crnpfl. - One thing is clear the crop was a g,,,I c,ne. The manure used was pood, as we fed tons of shorts, oihueal, and corn and oat rr.nnd. to our st.. k inm. duce it. The salt was common barrel salt, as uied for ordinary farm stock, cost ing SO cents per bariel in Koine. There should luive been a strip left through the place, to see if there was any ditlerence on the salted or unsaited plots, but we did not want to give the grubs any chance. Where to give full credit is what we cannot now determine ; all combine'! manure, salt, and cultivation have been S'.v.TeVful. Some other farmer have tried sa!t one a C 1 I of corn, where grubs and cut worms had heretofore done him great ; damage. This year it has proved a ue- cess, oral least the crop of corn has been 1 fa;rv shclwij! ; his manure, as well a I his cultivation hes not been a good as ! the writer's, neither was his crop of corn : i as good, out Dein r pernaps tnan tlie av- tiiis vicinity.

Ot the other hand, the Pennsvlvaiii Railroad Company is a redoubtable old fortresH, over whose drawbridge more of the warriors that assail it have pasm-d a prisoners than a conqnerer. In such a conflict will everything de pend upon guns, or will something de pend on the common conscience of the people?
