You way have traveled a great deal
Bud know of the wajs of traveled
people, but uuleaa you have traveled a
half day with a large excursion party
of neighbors jour educatiou in travel
ing is defective. Unless jou bave thus
traveled jou lack a uios-t desirable ac
quaintance with the flee, restless man
ner, and unconventional conversation
and luerriuieut that characterize a party
of five hundred people from one section
of the State, ail with one object in view.
The Dumber just stated, as nearly as
can ba told without actual count, is tbe
cumber of people that left the counties
of Mifflin, I'erry and Juniata, in 1). V.
Cramer's excursion train, last Wednes
day, to be present on Maryland's Day,
aud Presbyterian's Day at tbe Centen
nial Exhibition on Thursday and Fri
day, to witness tbe shadow of a Tourna
ment, and to witness the unveiling of a
ctatue of John Witherspoon, tbe pa
triotic I'resbytrrian preacher of Amer
ican Colonial Revolutionary days of
177C, and to see the Exposition gener
ally. Tbe restrain ng influence that is
felt in taking a seat in a , car that is
half, or more, filled with strangers did
not impress itself on tbe excursionists. !
U bile the manner of the party d'd not
warrant tbe conclusion that all were
related in tbe bonds of husband and
wife, or in the relationship of brother
and sister, father and daughter, or son,
daughter and mother, or son, cousins,
or in the happy prospective state of
sweethearts, the facts warranted the
conclusion that we were all most closely
related by State Senatorial ties, fur we
werj all from one and the same Sena
torial district, and if candidates Bala
baeb and Crawford bad been it. tbe
party it tuiht bave been called a State
Senate Politico Centennial Exhibition
Party. The political question, bow
ever, was not mentioned, or if mention
c-d it was in aucb tones that it was
cot noticeable. If the candidates bad
been aboard, most likely it would bave
manifested itself sufficiently to have
called out a vote for Balsbach and for
Crawford; but, as no such vote was
taken, it is not known, to a certainty,
how the party stood. Its appearance,
however, indicated a considerable ma
jority for Balsbach.
About 4 o'clock P. M. the train
reached the city, and then and there
the individuality of the excur
sion party from tbe 3 1st Senatorial dis
trict was lost as certainly as a bucket
of water ia lost when emptied into
river.
Tbe uppermost topic, that evening in
tbe city among the reading and busi
ness people was tbe despatches from
Europe indicating the outbreak of a
;irantie war in that Country on the
Turkish question, before the lapse of
uanj months, and produce dealers, or
deaUrs in grain were that evening
drawing or laving their plans accord
ingly, and gld ran up in the figures to
the delight of dealer in that precious
metal. The next topio for general con
versation was tbe Southern Tournament,
ia anticipation for the next day. Dee
hundred thousand people, aud more
than that number, earnestly longed for
good weather oo Thursday, so that the
Tournament could be preseuted in its
best. A glorious day wis vouchsafed
for the occasion as if to voo a multi
tude to witness the lust shadow of a
miserably poor imitation of Knight
hood or Kntpht Errantry that Southern
gentlemen indulged in.
In tbe Twelfth, Thirteenth and Four
teenth Centuries kings, princes and
military chieftains became Knights, aud
frequently challenged each other to
mortal strife in the Tournament, either
for renown or the settlement of matters
in dispute between them. The favor
ite weapons of the Kuights were the
sword, battle-axe, a beavy club called a
mace, a dagger and a long lance. They
usually wore a closely-fitting coat of
mail, of minute liuks of iron, and a
helmet of steel for the head, with a
visor to cover tbe face. Certain parts
of their horses, such as the chest, bead,
rump and sides were also carefully pro
tected by iron armor. Two Kuigbts,
on horseback, in deadly conflict are
represented in bronzo statuary in the
Gertnin department, and are worth
seeing. How many of the men who
participated with so much earnestness
in tbe tares oo last Thursday are of
Knightly lineage we do not know, but
we believe it would bring tbe blusb
quickly to tbe face of a scion of a
Knight to even intimate that be would
be guilty of such tomfoolery as the
Centennial Tournament. Tbe Kuigbts
of old were earnest men ; if there was
oue thing above another that tbey de
spised, it was the sham, the false, the
pretender. Ob shades of Knighthood,
what a farce was pjrpetiated in thy
name in the Centennial grounds last
Thursday. How many more we do not
know, but to our certain knowledge
there were two men on the slope of
George's Hill, as witnesses to the Tourn
ament, in whose veins flow the blood
of men wbo passed through the encoun
ters of Tournaments of the Old World
hundreds of years ago. But shadow
as it was of the earnest and deadly
pass time sports of kings, princes and
chieftains of the middle ages, it was
one of tbe great events of tbe Exhibi
tion, for it was tbe berald of the de
cline of aristocracy or dynasty rule,
as much so as tbe ceremonies of tbe
Presbyterians about tbe monument of
John Witberspoon, on Friday, typify
; the rise of tbe people to a commanding
; voice in matters of both State and
I Church.
The Tournament had been advertised
to begin at '1 o'clock, at tbe foot of
George's Hill, on a s:rip of ground
600 feet lone, between tbeSnauisb eov
; eminent building and the glass works.
J bree arches spanned tbe course at tbe
distance of 90 feet from each other.
From each arch bung a red ring an inch
and a quarter in diameter, and tbe feat
for tbe Knight to perform was to ride
; at a gallop or rnn under tbe arches and
gather tbe rings on a pointeo lance. To
do so required good horsemanship.
Each Knifbt was entitled to three
charges or tilts. The judges' stand
was located on tbe .Machinery Hall
side of tbe course. One hundred and
fifty thouand people were assembled
there at tbe appointed time, but a 'bitch'
iu tbe arrangement delayed tbe Knights
fro'ji appearing till about 3 o'clock,
when au address was delivered from the
judges' stand by J. F. Stewart, of I5al-
j li more, after which tbe tilting began.
There were thirteen Knights iu the list
! as representatives of the thirteen origi
nal .States. Two Knights represented
tbe Centennial and the Uuion, raising
the cumber of Knights engaged at
tilting to fifteen. Tbey were Southern
men. A number of borsemeo, in
full middle-age costume bad accom
panied the Knights to tbe course, and
sit on tbeir steeds near tbe starting
point, not far from the glass works. To
tbe Knight of New Hampshire was ac
corded tbe first tilt. He failed to
gather the first two rings, but tbe third
one he gathered nicely en the point of
his lance. The Knight from Matse
chusetu was the next on the list. His
horse shied, which resulted in not gath
ering a ring. The Knight from Rhode
Island took one ring, after which we
left the tilting gronnd and saw no more
of tbe TonrnatLent.
Friday was Presbyterian Day, so
named from tbe dedication of tbe With
erspoon Monument in Fairmount Park,
opposite the east end of Memorial
Hall, a abort distance outside of
the fence tbat encloses tbe Centen
nial Exhibition grsunds. Tbe hour for
tbe beginning of tbe ceremonies had
been stated at 1 o'clock ; but as tbe
Chivalry had been slow on the previous
day in coming to time, we felt slow
about leaving the Exhibition grounds
at tbe time appointed for tbe beginning
of the dedication. It was shortly after
1 o'clock that we stepped out of Read
ing Railroad entrance to tbe Exhibition
grounds and hastened across tbe park
to the monument, around which quite
an assembly stood. Key. George .
Musgrave, D. D-, L. L. D., was just
then engaged at prayer. t bat cere
mony pieceeded t lie .prayer we made no
inquiry for. After tbe Dootor's prayer,
Rev. W. O Johnstone read a hjuin,
which was sung to tbe tune of Old
Hundred, by the assembly. Tbe hymn
was followed by the reading of Scrip
ture by (be Rev. J. li. Dale, D. D.
Tbe history of tbe effort to erect tbe
monnuient was delivered by Rev. Henry
C. McCook, in which the part tbe ladies
of tbe cburcb took was highly eulogized.
Rev. S. W. Daua read a hymn which
was sung, after which Rev. S. 1 Prime
recited tbe contents of the comer-stone,
which was followed by a description of
the monument by Rev. W. E. Schenck,
D. D. Tbe height of tbe statue is
12 feet. It was desirable to make tbe
civilian prominent in the drapery or
habiliments, and for that reason be ap
peared in colonial style of clothing,
over which the Geneva gown hung from
the shoulders. There are 5,000 pounds
of bronze in the statue. Mr J. A.
Bailly is the artist who executed tbe
work. The pedestal of granite on
which the atatue stand ia 12 feet high.
Tbe total cost ia about $18,UU0. The
recital of tbe iuscriptioua ou the uiou
oment were given by the Rev. W. M.
Paxtou, D. I). Each of tbe four aide
have an inscription. Tbe north aide
inscription ia a quotation from a speech
delivered by Witherspoon ou ths ques
tlon of the Declaration of ludepeu
dence, aud reads : For my part, of
property 1 bavd ouie, of repulaliou
more; tbat reputation is staked, that
property is pledged on tbe issue uf this
contest, aud aithougb these gray hairs
must soon !coveud to tbe sepulchre, 1
would intiuitely rather tbat they should
descend thither by the Land of tbe ex
ecutioner than desert at this crisis the
sacred cause of my country."
It was tbat speech which ennobled
bim, and which will, as long as litera
ture lasts among men, render his mem
ory dear to all who believe in the rights
of men as against the rule of lamilies
or dynasties, noru in Scotland, be ex
perienced that royalty and power lay
not in the bands of the people. Edu
cated a Presbyterian be soon teamed
tbat the peculiar privileges accorded
by the aristocracy and the governments
of his native land and the Old U orld
generally, were not given to the church
of his faith. He came to America in
bis 46th year, in which at that
eaily date was considered a sure refuge
for all who sought religious liberty, or
freedom of conscience. His great fore
sight gave him to understand that all
the bo e and prospect of the perpetuity
or steady development of b'.s owu
church and other Protestant churches,
was the building up or the strengthen
ing of the principle of religions free
dom that had been planted by bis reli
gious and political predecessors, the
Independent.," the " Dissenters," ou
Plymouth Rock in 1620 ; and when he
took bis cburcb of colonial days with
bim into the contest of the Revolution
be was but repeating the contest in
America tbat Protestants in Europe
had battled for generations before bis
day. How significant tbe dedication ol
a monument to such a man, on a day
following a Tournament by a class of
people who claim affinity in desire and
tastes, if not in blood, with the chiv
alry or authority of the Old World,
who disdained the old Covenanters, the
Presbyterians. Tbe Tournament and
its pretensions are at an end, and tbe
rights of "God aud man" are only be
ginning to show themselves.
Up to the completion of the recital
of the inscriptions the statue bad re
mained veiled by a large American
flag which bung down over tbe pedestal,
but as soon as they were finished D. W.
Woods, Esq., of Lewistown, Pa., a
grandson of Witberspoon, unveiled tbe
atatue. Mr Wood bad been concealed
from the sight of the assembly by
standing behind a flag that buug down
at tbe right band side of the platform,
but as soon as the statue was unveiled,
acd his name was mentioned, loud calls
were made for him, interspersed occa
sionally by the call of "Speech by
Woods." Tbe cU waa kept op till
Mr. U oods came out from bis hiding
place, to acknowledge the eoiupliiueut,
which ba did by bowing two or tbree
times. He was too modest, however,
to make a speech or stand to be looked
at, and quickly stepped into hi hiding
place, whereupon a gentleman on the
platform shouted, " He's a chip off tbe
old block."
Oo tbe disappearance of Woods a
call was made for Mr. R tillv, tbe art
ist of the statue. " He's down in tbe
crowd," said a voice. "Tike the plat
form, take the platform, liailly," was
shouted from all sides. " A speech, a
speech, Railly," was rung out by the
crowd, as the artit climbed onto thu
platform and stepped forward aud
bowed his acknowledgments, then
stepped btck and said to a lady, loud
enough to be heard by a minister, who
told it to the crowd, "My speech is up
yonder in bronze," pointing to the
statue.
Rev. J. Addison lleury read a hymn.
which was sung by tbe assembly, alter
which Joseph D. Hedle, Governor of
New Jersey, delivered an oration. At
this juncture of the ceremonies it be
came us to leave, and by so doing we
missed the closing excicisca of tbe dedi
cation. Hundreds of people looked on,
from the Exhibition grouuds, through
tbe crevices of tbe fence and from tbe
towers of the buildings.
In after years tbe Tournament and
the dedication of the Witberspoon
Monument will be looked on as airong
the crowning civil and religious events
of the Centennial year and the Centen
nial Exhibition. Such is destiny. How
strange.
Editorial Notes on tbe Political
Situation, from Exchange Pa
pers.
In the States which have tbus far
elected members of the next Congress,
Maine, Vermnut, Ohio, and lm'iana,
thirty Republicans have been chosen to
eleven Democrats. Tbese stand a
present represented by tweuty Uepub
licaus and twenty-one Democrats.
The Democratic vote of Indiana is
generally at least 10,000 smaller in
November than in October. And all
because the Kentucky repeaters are
obliged to be at home to vote in No
vember.
The Cincinnati Commercial gives 6,
G92 as tbe oleial majority of Barnes
(Rep.) for Secretary of tbe State of
Ohio.
From a canvass of the Indiana elec
tion returns it appears that the coun
ties bordering on Kentucky, which
never before gave a larger Democratic
majority thau 2,500, this year gave
9,000, leading to the irresistible inter
ence that Watterson's pickets made up
the additional 2,500. It is claimed,
uotwitbatanding, that Tilden will be
defeated in Iudiana by at least 5,000,
aithougb Kentucky secretly boasts at
least ten thousand political M pickers
to sparo without endangering tbe result
at borne.
New York is the battle-ground.
Republicans willingly acknowledge it.
Democrats boastfully assert it, confi
dent in the ability of Governor Tilden
to carry Lis own Slate. hat ground
is turre lor tuis conndence? Awe
Democrats out of ten look no further
than tbe fact tbat Governor Tilden did
carry the Slate iu 1874. Yet his vote
at tbat time was only 416,901, and the
Republicans had cast 445.8U1 for Gov
ernor Dix two years before. The Re
publicans who did not vote elected Mr.
Tilden. . If there is anything certain it
ia certain that a very full vote of both
parties will be cast this year. Now,
the Democrats bave never polled u
large an honest vote, in the whole his
tory of the State, as tbey did in elect
ing M r. Tilden iu 1874, for they wer
then reinforced by many thousand Lib
eral and Independents. Tbat be will
not get the votes of a great proportion
of these is known to him, and to every
other intelligent Democrat. A few
hundred support buu Still, and will do
their best to cteet bra. At least twen
ty thousand oppose him, and will do
their best to defeat bim. But, with
their aid the largest Democratic vote
ever really cast in New York' was 29,
410 leas than tbe Republican Vote cast
for President Grant in 1872, wben the
Liberals opposed him. U here, then,
is the reason for expec'ing Mr. Tilden's
election ? Jiew York Tribune.
How it must have lacerated the sen
sibilities of Samuel J. Tilden when he
beard that bis friend Boss Tweed
"worked" bis passage on the "Carmen"
from Cuba to Vigo, Spain. Poor man,
with tbe fear of a return to New York
as au arrested thief, tbey now say he
went ou board the "Cariucu" as a
" landsman" and served as a deck hand,
"barelegged, barefooted and barearui
ed." "O, what a fall was theie, my
countrymen," exclaims S. J. T., amid
his sighs aud tears, but it can't be
helped new. Tbe " Boss," thanks to
his Democratic jiilors, never worked
half as bard in his Biackwell prison as
he did on board the Spanish ship "Car
moo," and if S. J. T. can help it he
will never bave to work so vigorously
again. " Phanzy tbe feelink"' of the
Democratie candidate for the Presi
dency looking at bis "barefooted, bare
legged' frieud, the "Boss," scrubbing

Tilden be elected President, look out
for a claim for damages put in against
Spain by this badly used Boss of the
New York Democracy. .orth Ameri

Proclamation by the President.
By the President of tbe United
States of America,
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, It bas been satisfactorily
shown to me that insurrection and do
mestic violence exist in several coun
ties ot tbe State of South Carolina,
ami that certain combinations of men
against Jaw exist in many counties of
said Staie known as " rifle ciubs," who
ride up and dowo by day and night in
arms, murdering some peaceable citi
zens and intimidating others, which
combination?, thougli forbidden by the
laws of the rotate, cannot be controlled
or suppressed by the ordinary course
of justice ; aud
Whereas, It is provided in the Con
stitution of tbe United States that the
Uuited States thall protect every State
in this Uuion, on application of tbe
Legislature, or of the Executive wben
the Legislature cannot be conveued,
against domestic violence ; and
Whereas, By law iu pursuance of
the above it is provided (iu the laws of
tie United States) that in all case of
insurrection in any State (or of obstruc
tion to tbe law thereof) it shall be law
ful for tbe President of the Uuited
ti tales, on application of the Legisla
ture of such State, or of the Executive
wben tbe Legislature canuot be con
veued. to call forth the militia of any
other State r States, or to employ such
part of the laud and nival forces as
shall be judged necessary for tbe pur
pose of suppressing such insurrection
or causing the laws to be duly executed :
and
Wheieas, The Legislature of said
State is net now in session, and cannot
be convened in time to meet the pres
ent emergency, and the Executive of
said State, under section 4 of article 2
of the Constitution and the laws passed
in pursuance thereof, bas therefore made
due application to me in the premises
tor such part of the military force ol
the United States as may be necessary
and adequate to protect said. State and
the citizens thereof against domestic
violence and to enforce the due execu
tion of the laws; and
Whereas, It is required that when
ever it may be necessary in tbe judg
nieot of the President to use the mili
tary force tor the purpose aforesaid, he
shall forthwith by proclamation com
mand such insurgents to disperse and
retire peaceably to tbeir respeotive
bomes within a limited time.
Now, therefore, I, Ulysses S. Grant,
President of tbe United States, do
hereby make proclamation and com
mand all persons engaged in said unlaw
ful and insurrectionary proceedings to
disperse and retire peaceably to their
respective abodes within three days
from this date and submit themselves to
the laws and constituted authorities of
said State, and I invoke the aid and co
operation of all good citizens thereof to
uphold tbe laws and preserve tbe pub
lic peace. In witness whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused the

Uorrlble Atrocities In China.
The North China Daily Xtws says :
U e have news of turtber persecutions
of the most savage character in Szec
bden. On the 18th of July, in tbo
town of Yuen-bin-chang in the district
of Loui-kiaog, placards hostile to
Christians and Kuropeaus were posted
iu various places in tbe UisrL'et. About
uiue o'clock on the morning of the 20th
a liue of four or five thousand uieu
drew round tbe market to prevent Chris
tians from escaping. Tbey manufac
tured a large wooUeu cross, aud tied oo
it successively all tbe Christians tbey
could catcb, and then eut tbem to
pieces. Among tbe victims were two
heathens, of whom one was the father
of a convert and tbe other a youog girl
of fifteen, whose brother was a hris
tian. Like the othais, she was strip
ped of her clothes aud cnt to pieces.
The iiu tuber of persons killed was eight.
The wounded are very numerous. It
is unnecessary to add that the bouses
of the Christians were pillaged and de
etroyed. About thirty other persons
are missing. On the 22d the brutes
went to the market of Petmw-chen,
where they murdered four more Chris
tians ; but of this butchery we have
no details. It is said that tbe princi
pal chiefs of this band of as.ajins are
emissaries from Kiang pob, where the
persecution first broke out, who are
traversing the province in full sight and
knowledge of tbe mandarins, to excite
troubles against tbe Christian' and
drive out Europeans, and 'bus check
any inclination on tbe part of foreign
ers to extend their trade with the in
terior of China."

If there is one thing more than arether
tor which these Pill are so latuous, it it
their purifying properties, especially tbir
power of cleansrtig the Mood from all ia

pended secretions. Cniversally adovti-d
the one grand remedy for female complaiutt

tollow, as a natural consequence, a good
appetite and a clear head. In the East ar:d
West Indies scarcely any other medicia U
ever used tor these disorder.
How to bo Strong.
Never let the bowels be either confined of
unduly acted Uxn. It may appear airgu
lar that Hollow iv Pill should be recum
mendeJ for a run upon the bowels, nianr
persons supposing thai they would increase
relaxation. Thi i a great mistake, how
ever; for these Pills will immediately cor
rect the liver and stop every kind of tx.l
complaint. In warm climates thousand uf
lives have been saved by the use of th:
pedkine, which in all eaxes gives tore aai
vigor to tne whole organic system, however
deranged, health aud strength following a
a matter of course. The a petite, too, i
wonderfully increased by the use of the?
Pills, combined iu the use of solid in pref

than broth and stews. By removing acrid,
fermented, or o!her impure humors trca

dysentery, diarrhiea, aud other bowel com
plaints is expelled. The result is, that th
disturbance t arrested, and the action of
the bowels becomes regular. Nothing wil!

In all diseases affecting these orguis,
whether they secrete too much cr too little

human ailments. Its symptoms are almost
infinite in their variety, and the forlorn an-t
despondent victim of the disease often

close s.t mpathy which exists between the

the fact that any disturbance of the diges
