SENTINEL & REPUBLICAN MIFFLINTOWN. . TTetSneiday. March 4. 1974. B. F. SCHWEIElt, IDITO a raopariToa Tbe TrtnMn'i Moiemect-Jio tin Knons How Long- It THH Last. Wiseacre are telling the country that the wcmen's movement against the liquor business will be of an ephemeral oharaetrr ; that in a few months at most it will hare psed awij. Such a de clsralton orjst be taken at its faie value. Ii is a guess. Io a practical sense, if it happens to come true as a preJioion, it will do as well as if thos who made it bad vol limes of precedenu to sustain them in their declarations. As a ue, it maj or may not "bit." There are no precedents from whic'j to start sich dec'aratioos. Tbe history of the past f refnts do movements of a mxilar olisractcr. The books contain do record to console them in their guess-wrk. If the past presented koine precedent, or land mark, from which to reckon a3 to the perseverance the ladies will bnr.g to bear in the movement', ao excuse for the conceited declaration that it cannot last, might be conjured up. The movements of our own sei have been so varied that when a new one is ventured on, we look to the past to 8f e how our fathers" snted, and on their recorded actions base our opinion a to how we may succeed. Womankind, in the past, Las bad no voice, excepting tlriUph the private chambers of her husband, io shaping the public mind. Siie bas never had the opportunity to organize. Tbe strong counsel she has given, as represented in individual cases, in which she ba risen above the so-called natural weak ness of ber sex, are no more exceptions than are the works of the power ul and brilliant men of our sex exceptions. Womanhood bas always held an in ferior position. We go to the Easterr. countries (o End the status in which she bas beea held. Her conditiou there is as near akin to slavery a it well cin be. Even there individual cases rise above tbe bsrem, and the a'ject ser vant by her superior tact and judgment makes herself felt. Tbe reading pub lic know the coudition of the "squaw" of the North American Indian. In these brief and basty illustrations may be read the pist condition of woman kind. She is just emerging from her state cf bondage to a ondition of true and equal companionship, in which her comfort ac J well-being are to be con sidered as well is those of tbe opposite sex. The spasmodic caresses and gaudy decorations that men as often bestowed cn their d'gs or borscs as they did on their women, is to give way to a kind and just consideration for their comfort, which will result in the formation cf pleasanter society and happier homes. Womankind bas held such a eondi tioo in society that she could never as srrt and express herself in an organixed way against the frivolities and vices of husbands and sons. She bas been com pelled to witness the meanest debauch cry, and been dragged through the deepest recesses of private distress and destitution without once daring to lift ber voice io protest.. Our present civ ilization ia giving her aa opportunity to assert herself and express Ler disap probation of the vices of our sex. In the new movement she advocates njth iiig but that which is for aur good, fan not car sex rise above its arbitrary rale, and treat her as a companion whose comfort anl well-being is to be considered as well as our own ! No one knows bow long the women's temperance movement will last. Il man doea not exercise tbe rule of the despot ; if he be civilized enough to allow woman a voice on the questions that affect tbe family, its happiness and prosperity, it will be of the most endu ring character. Reunion of Members or the l.egftiiature Tret lout to lVtO A Iteminisrcncc ui John C uoiuiitigtt of Juniata toun tj. There was a Legislative Re-union at Harntibnrg cn the afternoon of the 26th nit., ia tbe ba)i of .be lower housj, cf surviving members of the State Legislatures previous to the year 1S50. The chamber was crowded. It was not large enough to bold all wbo sought admittance. It was a most pleasant meeting for the ex-members. Young men live in their prospects and antici pations of the future. Old men live in tbe past; retrosj ective views are their eticf delight. Consequently the old gentlemen were in their chief delight when relating their experience, of the past. Aa old gentleman Mr. Oli pbant now a resident of Washington, D. C, but long ago a member of tbe Pennsylvania Legislature, made a speech, iu which be brought prominent ly to view the straggle that tne inhabi tants of M:f3m conty that lived south cf Shade Mountain and between it and the Tuscarora Momtain, eomprtheni tcg the limits ot onr county, passod through in bat body, for tbe formation cf this Juniatj county. He spoke cf the pcor facilities for travel then, and of tbe great improvements io that direction sinee that day. The cbief plea, he ai.i, that the people of this eoooty put in for a separatum from Mif flin eoouty was the difficulty of going to Lewistown to court, or to attend to other legal business, at tbat time theie being erriy one way through the L. ng Narrows, anj tbat dreadfully roogb and dangcrow is Batuul declivities and obstacles, and oftqn infested by robbers. The champion of separation in the Legislature was John Cummings, f Tuscarora Valley, lie wotked in aud oat of season for a division. Mr. Cura mings had importuned bim to cast his" vote for Juniata, when tbe bill for the di vision of the county should come before the House. He, however,did not commit liitrself. Ilia indefinite reply caused Cummings to class bim among those who were opposed to tbe bill. Wbeo tbe bill was put on its" passage be voted for it. The tetrad of bis uva" brongnt Cummings to his feet, who approached him hastily and threw bis arms around bim aud embraced bim, saying God bless ye; I'll oiver forgit ye for that vote." Tbe bill passed, and wad signed by tbe Governor and Cummings was happy. And thus tbe old men talked aud re'ated remiuiss'eoees, but that was tbe only one relative to Juniata rela ted while w, by chance, happened to stand at the chamber door of the ro tunda. Ut thought it tbe happiest meeting of men we looked on for many days. It was not business, it was so cial. The Temperance Movement by the Ladies In I'lilladel fhla. In the afternoon of last Friday a praver-meeting in Philadelphia was held in tbe Baptist Chapel, Seventh street and Susquehanna avenue, in the extreme northern section of the city. At the opening about two hundred- la dies were present, Mrs. Dr. French, a a well-known female presiding. Prior to the opening exercises, tbe reporters were requested to withdraw, and the proceedings were conducted secretly. The number of ladies largely increased, and by four o'clock nearly one thou sand bad congregate 1 in and around the chapel. The ladies, after a Ion? discussion, decided to commence a cru sade against liquor dealers at occe, and for that purpose they delegated twenty of their number, who proceeded to three saloons io the vicinity, around which they sang and prayed. The pro prietors bad heard that something of that kind was in progress in that vicin ity, and when tbey saw the ladies ap proaching they closed their doors. Tbe Erst sa!-Mn visited was that of Charles Uageulochens, Susquebaoua avenue and Fiftli street. 1 bey met the proprietor, and tbe following convcrsa tion ensued : "Can we hold prayer ?" "Certainly not ; I have no room in which to hold prayer.'' 'Can we pray in a bed room !" "No, it would disturb the boarders." "Do you sell drink V "1 do not to druukarJs. I pay my license and a-Ji protected by law." They th?n essg and prayed around the establishment and left. Tbe sa loons of A. Kramer and Jobn Ober holtzer in the vicinity were then visited. Here two doers were closed. At the latter place they sang and prayed at a side door. A number of roughs gath ered, who ridiculed the proceedings ao much that one of tbe ladies wept. The proprietor called the police, but they refused to interfere. After leaving the saloons, the dele gation returned to the chapel, where tbe meeting was anxiously awaiting them. Whea Mrs. Dr. French, who led tbe delegation, ectered the door she stretched out both hand and cried : "The victory is ours we have won !" After sibging and prajing, the meeting adjourned. A number of prominent saloons on Chestnut street to-day re ceived written notices which stated that tbe ladies in a body would soon call on tham. THE ItEPrBUC, for February, is be fore us, preset. ling a table of contents which should commend it to every per son desirous of a thorough kooa ledge of the principles and practices of this great Government of and for the peo ple. Among tbe more important arti cles are: "The Work of t ongress," a brief but uiott comprehensive sketch : a graphic summary of the views of the Country press on the pending 'Finan cial and Economic Questions," a very valuable and thoughtful article entitled "Capital, Labor, and Wages ;" j Tbe Functions of the Treasury Department;' a comprehensive view of the " Mission of True StatosuianVhip," as affecting the prosperity of the people, and tend ing to :he solution of tbe problem of cheap travel and transportation; 'The Question of the Annexation of the Ca nadian Provinces," and the "Finances" are also ably discussed. Tbe appendix contains the able speeches of Senators Chandler, and Lo gan, and Representatives 11.5. Bundy on the Finance, and R. II. Cain, on i ivil Right. The Republic is a monthly magazine, and is published at W ashington, D. C, at $2 per year. It is a work which every man should read. Last Tuesday evening a week, while Mr. William Wilson was engaged in packing hay in his mow in Paris, ash- ington county, a loose board gave way. precipitating him into the apartment elow. He fell across a manger, re eeiving severe injuries to bia spine, which t.roved fatal, and after consider able suffering be died. This family seems to be peculiarly unfortunate of late. About two months ago, while one of Mr. Wilsou'a sons was cutting wood with an axe in a saw mill, a mov ing belt eangbt tie axe handle and turned it with such force as to nearly sever tne loot oi tne man woo was handling it.

A movement has beeu made in Ohio, as well as in the Illinois Legislature, to wards breaking up the existing school book monopolies, by means of a bill to place the compilation or preparation of text books f t tbe Schools in the h.iuds of a State Board of Commissioners. Tje result of such a measure might be beneficial, provide.! the commissioners properly understood and did their duty, and were placed under judicious re strictions in the exercise ot their duty ; but the chances are that ihe monopoly would simply be transferred from one set of speculating publishers to another, without any mattiial advantage to the State. It is encouraging, however, to find the agitation in progress. It is a suhjct upon which the general public bas remained too lwng inactive and asleep, while vast fortunes bavo been aiade at their unsuspecting expeuse. A reform is urgently needed, and experi ments to that end deserve encourage ment. E. A Washington correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Gazette says that a lady (?) and ber husband in tbat ci'y have largely snpported themselves by attend ing the receptions of Government offi cials, and living on the viands there provided. Breakfasting no mush and milk at their lodgings iu a fashionable part of the city, they saved enough by these foraging expeditions to secure a handsome visitiug outfit, cards and gloves. But their trick were at last found out, and the peripatetic pair bad to flee ignoiiiiuionsly. This story re minds ns of one told by an eccentric character io "Russell's Memoirs ol Tom Moore," who, on being pressed as to bow be got bis living, made this frank avowal : 0n Sunday I always dine with an old friend of niiue, where I eat enough to last me nntil Wednesday. Tbeu I bay tome tiipe, which 1 bate like tbe ery , and that makes me fo tick tbat I can't tat anythiog until Sunday again." 1 LSU L SnOftT ITEMS. Chester, Pa., baa elected one lady school director. There are forty Protestant places of wor ship in Rome. D:pthcria is prevalent ia man township in Venango county. The potato rot ia now ascribed to a deS riency of lime and magnesia in the soil. Ebenaburg baa twenty-three voters named Jones, twenty named Kvana and eighteen named Davia. The lower house o! the Maine Legislature b&ve refused to pass the bill' abolishing the death penalty. The government has" recovered $194,000 in the suits against distillers' bjnda at Springfield, Illinois. Postal cards bearing notice of quit saloon-keeping or prepare to be prayed at," are Common now. It is proposed a an alternative, out west, if women's prayers do not atop the liquor traffic, to try women' vote. The re-biiion of tbe Tenth Pennsylvania Reserves will be held at Merctx on Tues day, the 1'Jih of may next. A mule has died of lock jaw in Chester county, tbe other day, caused by an awk ward blacksmith driving a nail into ita foot. Seventy years ago the Rev. Dr. Lyman Beech er, father of Henry Ward Beecber, was paid a sal.u-y of MOO and his firewood. An act has just taken eflect ia Illinois giving the dead bodies of anclaimed pau pers and crirniuals iu Chicago for dissec tion. A Brooklyn jury have justified the shoot ing ot a negro chieken-thief by a police mau, and commended him for a faithful piTformance of bis duty. The newest idea is that Of a Wisconsin legislator, who demands that travelers by rail shall be weigiied aud made to pay so rui:ch per pound by wnight of fare. Thirty-two persons were befjre the court of WeituKTcl-ind county at the Feb. term lor selling liquor without license, selling liquor to minors, and selling liquir ou the Sabbath. High jinks. There was a negro wedding in Columbus, Miss., last week, which boast ed cards, nine roa.-U:d pigs and a hundred cakes, and tapered off with three reception days. "Owing to John Robiason's circus be ing in town, tho regular Thrusday evening prayine-meeting has been postponed," said a recent number of the Enttrpriie, of Dal las, Texas. It is an honor to womanhooJ that not a dollar has ever been missing Irom the De partment of the Controller of Currency, where women exclus'nely are employed as clerks. Mr. Saurtoris, the future husband of Miss Xellie Grant, ia a son and only child of a member of the British Parliament, and af ter the marriage will of course take his bride to England and reside there. A Georgia psper tells of an attempt by a powerful eagle to carry off a girl fourteen years old. It says tbe bird lil ted her from the ground several times and carried her some distance. She was severely wounded bv its beak and talons, her sides being ter ribly lacerated. Mrs. Morris, of Maryville, Iowa, planned an elopement with a traveling photographer narred Hamilton. Her husband learned of the fact. He at once hitched up his horse, got into the wagon wilh h sfrighlenid wile, drove five miles to the trystring place, and delivered her to Hamilton. The women's movement has broken out in the city of TVilliamiport, the ladies hav ing nisrnified their intention of visiting not only the pi ices where liquor is sold, but also the Mayor's oifice, the Court House and the residence of the President Judge, fir the purpose of engaging in prayer for the suppression of the unholy traffic. "If you don't see what you want, ask for It," is posted up in a conspicuous place in a Logansport grocery. A native stepped into the establishment lost week. He saw the card aud rt marked, " I want a ten-dollar Ml! and I don't see it." "Neither do I," was the laconic reply. The native look ed further, but he advised the grocer to "take down that sigTi." This is the year in which the late Sister Anna Maria Taiga, of Rome, predicted the j death of the Pope, with attendant convnl- sions of nature. "For three davs and three niahts the said .-Cimmerian darkness wilt rest over the earth, hiding every object in the world from view ; The people who look out of the windows for the purpose of de scribing what is goir.g on in the firmament, wi',1 be immediately struck down dead." L A despatch from Fort Sul'y to Sioux City sa s that the Unrpspaa made a raid on the herders near Graul river agency on Feliru iry 22nd, killing private Collins of the 7th Infantry and stealing seven! horses. They were followed by a pirty of soiJit-rs in the directiion of Standing Rock, but their trail was lost. The same despatch says that the Indians intend concentrating at ths foot of the Black Hills by April 1, prepiratorj to a general war on tho wnites during the sum mer. Kincston, K. Y., was startled recently by a singular discovery msda bv some work men. They were repairing a building known as the iVoolsey House, situated in the lower part of the town, and in taking down ihe chimney a skeleton was discovered wedged in tbe due. It was pronounced by the phy sicians who examined it to be the skeleton of a woman, apparently aoout eighteen years of age, and it had probably been in the place there it was discovered about a year. Lone Wolf, tne war chief of the Eiowas, was comparatively civilized until he lately heard of the death of his son. He had an ambr.laneo and a pair of mules, and said he was trying to live like a white man. The son was killed while raiding in Texas. Lone Wolf drew his levolver, shot his mules, broke up his wagon, piled it and his lodge on tbe top of tbe mules, and burned the pile. He shaved one side of bis head, stuck the black feather behind his ear, and started his followers on tbe war-pa'b. In I8T0 Elizabeth Smith, of Chicago, made up her mind to get rid of her drunk en husband John. She went to a secret working divorce lawyer and paid him $10 to secure her f-eedom. John heard of the matter, and so convincingly promised re form that Mrs. Smith paid tbe lawyer $10 more and told bim to drop the proceedings. The husband thereafter behaved himself, and the pair lived happily. Lately he sold a house, and in tbe transfer of the title a record was found of a divorce granted in lfc'70 between Elizabeth and John Smith. The lawyer had already got the decree when the lady changed ber mind, but did not tell her so. So they had been living over three years together unmarried. They went at once to a minister and ware ajar rted ever agala. This being tbe season n't which colds are most prevalent and most difficult to get rid of, it may be interesting to re call the substance of some remarks con tributed to nature some four yeara ago by a correspondent. He stated tbat. by simply abstaining from' drink and liquid (ood of any kind for as long a period as possible, tbe internal conges tion, which is in fact the condition gen erally koowu as "a celd," becomes re duced. Tbe eause ot congestion is tbe overcharged membranes, and this is re moved when tbe general bulk of tbe blood has been diminished by withhold ing tbe usual supply of fluid. By keep ing tbe supply of drink for a day or two down to a point at which some de gree of thirst is yet experienced a com plete enre tray be effected. Joh.t Maxwell, a Pole, made a desperate attempt to kill bis wife on Friday a week, at Spring Brook, Lu zerne county. Tbese parties board with a Mrs. Ore, and it is said tbat tbey did not live bappilj on account of tbe jealous disposition of tbe husband, who imagined all aorts ot things if be saw his wife talking with a man. He ac cused ber of an improper intioiacy ex isting between ber aud a certain team ster in tbe neighborhood, which was flatly denied by bis wife. Ou tbe morn ing above stated, wben his wife was seated at the breakfast table, Maxwell i s!ipped up behind her and cut her throat! r r I from ear to eir with a raxor. Although I the wound is an ukIv one, it will not krova fatal? Maxwell was arrested aud is uow in the Wilk?sbarre jail A Rochester despatch ot the 2Gtb ult., says : This foienoon a fire was started by some unknnwn man under the second story stairs in public school house, No. 12. The flames were dis covered io time to permit of their sup pression before much damage was done, and before there was any panic. Three j hundred children ia the upper rooms would have been cnt off from escape, except by windows, if tbe flames bad progressed far. No. 5 publio school houe was set on fire on TuesJay, but no damages was done. A despatch from Philadelphia, u .der date of the 26th ult., says : The Ro man Catholic Total Abstinence Union of this city had a grand demonstration at the Acidemy of Music this evening. Tbe building was crowded. A large number of clergymen and laymen, to gether with many Protestants, appear ed on tbe stage. The exercises con sisted of addresses, music, aud the reading of encouraging litters from Bishops throughout the country.
