B. F. SC1IWEIER.
Visiting at Washington.
A Washington correspondent says :
Ta show to what lengths visiting
is carried in this city, or as Mrs.
Senator Morton once aptly put it, "The
pedd.ing of cards," 1 will quote ver
batim t:r you cn advertisement wlicii
appeared (or three successive evenings
lat week in the Star
" A lady having a carriage and pair
would like one or two ladiss who have
regular visiting to join her in the keep
of it. Address, X. S. , Star office."
Can you imagine anything more
enseiess more vapid than a round of
calls, made with people whose only
recommendation to such an intimate
companionship, as sharing one's car
riage would necessarily ie.a, lies in the
twu facts that they have regular visit
ing, and share the expenses of " the
keep. ! The question of how to har
monize these "lists !"' seems oat of the
question. I naturally infer that a
woman reduced to the necessity to ad
vertise for "inmates" to go the "rounds"
with her, must belong to that large
fixating class who devote the season to
rushing friPiu one public official recep
tion to the otiier, tor under no cticutu
Manees would such persons have the
entree to the private resident society of
our city. These are the kind of peo
ple who sw-U the visiting lists of the
wives of Government officials, making
l.fe here for ttrew a burden, and leav
ing them, during the reason, scarcely a
moment U enjoy their personal friends
and home life.
In tue Ust year tf tbe reign of Mrs.
Fish, as the wife of the Secretary of
Ftate there happened aa amusing inci-'
dent, which 1 w.ll relate to instance
the trouble to which tbe wives of pub
lis men are often unnecessarily put. I
will call the lady Thomas. Her bus
band is a clerk on a staall pay in one
nf the departments. She made no socir.l
pretensions ived in a quiet, humble
way, in a very pride bouse in the tu
iuibs, kept ijo domestics, and did ber
own .vork all this greatly to her
credit. Soiog one Wednesday after
noon in the neighborhood of the "Fish
.Mansion," the proposed to her eister
" to go in jast for a look and see what
the high-flyers were d-ing." At the
door a footman presented his salver for
a card. They had none. The assist
ant tervaut banded another salver with
a blauk card and a pencil. The little
woman wrote ber Diue and address,
thinking it a were form, an! tbe twain
were ushered into the drawing room,
where the courtly Mrs. Fish received
thetn with ill the impressment due a
Queen. About ten days after this, the
industrious housekeeper was mounted
on a stp ladder in front of ber modest
little homo, engaged in the unpleasant
task of wasutog windows.
Sue noticed coming down the street
an elegant carriage, with servants in
lively, driving suberbly caparisoned
horses. It came oo, and presently
haned at the door. 1 he foot man sprang
down, r. ad came to the wiudow, took a
card id, approaching the ladder, ask
ed: "Does Mrs. Thomas live here !"
"l'es."
"Is she at hrne !"
"Xo," replied the quick-witted house
wife, as she took the pasteboard and
itowod it in her pocket. Th story
wis too good to keep, and the husband
told it in great glee o friend of ours,
who gave it to me. Mrs. Fish was
verj punctilious about pJtng visits,
and' no matter how obscure the person
from whom she received the compliment
of a visit, she never failed to go in per
son and return it.
CLOSE VOTING.
Some observations and remarks by a c;t
Uen of Juniata county of a statistical na
ture n?ay not be uninterestingto the readers
of your paper. There are four small coun
ties located in the interior of Pennsylvania,
two of which border west of the Susque
hanna river, and the other two cul by the
Juniata, a tributary of tbe Susquehanna.
These four counties are, Mifflin, Juniata,
Cnion and Snyder. The population of each
in 1870 was reported thus :
Mifflin 17,5(18 Cnion ';5,5(V
Juniata 17,330 Snyder 15,6l6
Now, at the late elections Snyder county
cast 3470 votes and Juniata 3437. Snyder
gave Fisher for Congiess 1484 votes ; Juni
ata gave Fisber 1483 votes, Snyder giymg
a majority of one whole vote over Juniata.
Fnydergave Stenger 1484 votes, wniiejn
niata gave Stcuger 1855 votes; here is
l t ...n ht Knvder: but the
latter beat Juniata in the long run, as she
cast 37 more votes than Juniata, for she
gave Dougherty 136 votes, while JuniaU
Blighted Dougherty, in ismuch as she only
gave him 99 votes, not being aide to award
him with the capital C Take the Republi
can vote of Juniata and Snyder, and Fisher
has 8333, and take the Democratic vote of
the two counties, and Stenger has 8339,
just six votes over Fisher. These two
counties ought to be one jMnt Representa
tive district, but the Constitution forbids it.

Tbe other tracts were stayed.
These three items are from the
Charabersborg Repository of last
Wednesday, the 27th day of Octo
ber: On Tuesday last, as a yonng matt
named Jones, aped about 18 years,
was cutting timber on William Mc
AUen's farm, near Fannettsbnrg, a
tree fell npon him, killing him in
stantly. He was working for Wm.
Widney, who is the tenant on the
farm, and who was worHcg with
Jones. Mr. Widney hauled away a
log, and although he was not long
gone, when he returned he found
Jones under the tree dead. De
ceased was a son of John D. Jones
of Fannettsbnrg.
On last Thursday evening, about 8
o'clock, the night being exceedingly
dark and rainy, a young man, living
at John R. Eberly's, came into Wm.
M. Gillan's store, in St Thomas,
and asked for a sack of salt, walked
into the wareroom and shouldered
one, and carried it to Mr. Eberly's, a
distance of one mile, without taking
it off his shoulder ; the salt weigh
ing 200 pounds. Considering the
darkness of the nurht. and the con
dition of the roads, it is considered
one of the greatest feats ever per-
iormed in 1 nomas township.
One of the boldest robberies ever
perpetrated in Chambersbnrg was
that of the residence of William Mc
Lellan, Esq., on Wednesday evening
last It was early in the evening,
not yet being seven o'clock. AU the
family, with the exception of Mr. Mc
Lellan, and his son Will, who were
temporarily -.bsent, were seated in
the library, directly aeros3 the entry
from the parlor throngn which the
thief entered. First removing liis
boots out in the yard, and j !acing
them under a tie, he raise I tue win
dow, and, whn in the act of climb,
ing in, knocked over small table
which was standing near the window ;
this, of course, made a noise, but the
family thought it was some of the
servants who were attending to some
work ii the kitchen. After getting
into the parlor he at once proceeded
out into the hall and went up stairs.
On entering the room, he immediate
ly pulled dowa the blinds, and lit the
gas in several burners. He then ran
sacked the bureau drawers, removing
everything and laying them out care
fully on the floor, tying up those
which he hd intended to take along.
A daughter of McMcLellan, on going
np stairs, found the gas burning up
brightly. In opening the door it
came in contact with the closet door,
and in looking around she saw a man
in the closet Miss McLellan, think
ing it was her brother, asked, " Is
that von. Will ?" when the man po
litely replied, " Yes." Miss McLel
lan thought it did not look like her
brother, again said, faWby, WiiL what
a f iinny hat you have got on." To this
remark the made no reply, but pulled
the hat down over his eves. Miss
McLellan, at the same time, threw
herself against tbe closet door, try
ing to fasten him in, for wlr :h she
deserves groat credit for her courage.
she then caaed, and Mr. C. A. bues-
serott, who was making a call, ran
out of the sitting room. Finding
that the man was too strong for her,
she gave np her efforts, and started
down stairs, the thief following her,
as far as the first landing, where he
met Mr. Suesserott coming up the
steps ; the man immediately turned,
and. running back into the room,
picked np two or three bundles he
had prepared, threw them out of the
second stry window down into the
yard, he jumping out of the window
on the bundles. After picking them
up he widke J leisurely dawn the yard
and out into the street to tho depot
A little colored boy living with Mr.
McLellan following after called for
him to " drop those bundles, or he
would shoot" The thief at the same
time obeying, dropped the bundles
and ran down the allev towards
Second street and made his escape.
All the clothes were recovered, but
he managed to get away with a good
deal of jewelry. He left his boots
under the tree in the yard, not having
time to get them before leaking his
hasty retreat The thief was ar
rested on Monday at Hagerstown.

4 The queston arises, what will the
Penitentiary Commission do under
the circumstances T They have agreed
to locate the institution at Hunting
don, conditioned, we believe, upon
the offer of the 6ite, water, and stone
by our citutens. Our citizens, throngh
the Board of Trade, met the Com
mission, made two propositions, each
of which embraced the purchase of
the ground, etc., by the county.
These Drovositions were deemed sat
isfactory by the Commission. The
action of the County Commissioners
changes the status of the affairs, and
the question is, will tue Commission
demand a rigid compliance with the
conditions T Having been author
ized by the act to purchase a site,
some of the centlemen of the Com
mission see now the mistake of ac
ceding to offers of ground from any
town, as it created an authorized
competition, and led County Com
missioners of several counues to
mnt-A fiflVrK. of which, to sav the
least, there is room to question. We
believe the Commission snouia inrow
overlward all offers of ground, water,
stone, etc., made by the County Com
missioners of any county. The ques
tion they were in reality to determine
was, what place is the best adapted
for a penitentiary ? ' "

That the form so often folded close to yearn

And seemed, of your life a portion, and

Thus early in yonder land of light to till a

Who laid .tide the cross of life, and took

Whose whimperings are still on earth, in mu

Who calls from all lile'a ills away, thine own

S ate Treasurer Marklin and bis St. Louis
bride held their wedding reception. Alter
receiving her guests, the bride was taken in
to supper by ex-G ovcrnor Tilden. On again
en.ering the parlor, Mrs. Macklin introduc
ed Mr. n.dcn to several of her friends,
and, suddenly turning to a young lady in
delicate blue brocaded silk, said : Gover
nor Tildeu, allow me to introduce you to
Miss Hazeltine, of St. Louji, tbe !ady t
whom you era engaged, you know." Mr.
Tiklen, much embarrassed, hesitated and
blushed at thus being brought face to face
lor the first time willi the lady whose name
has receutly been so publicly connected
with his; but on recovering himself he
laughed over the widely-circulated reports,
and treated tfctT whole affair as a good juke.
Mr. Tilden courteously expressed his great
regret that the lady euould have sutTered
any annoyance such as the report must have
given her. " Ch !' said she, with a be
nt itching sirile, I felt sufe that yon had
nothing to do with it." The meeting be
tween these former strangers had been an
ticipated with much interest, and formed
quite the event of the evening.
