Those Who Are Against Free Gov
ernmentVote on the Side of
Free Government.
This has only been a free govern
ment 18 years, and jet there are men,
wko risked their lives in tbe army to
aecaie freedom fur themselves and tbeir
children, who are readj to saj the Re
public is safe, and we may vote for
whomsoever we please. Tbey do not
stop to think ibat tbis is tbe first real
free government among men in tbis
world within tbe past 6,000 year
Tbey do not stop to tbiuk that 18 years
against 6,000 is a small number. Tbey
do not stop to thick that all the gov
ernments of tbe world, excepting tbe
present French and Swiss governments,
are secretly against the government of
the Republic. They do not stop to
think that ill the Churches of the
world, excepting the Protestant Cburcb,
is agtiost the Republic, underbandedly.
They do not stop to think over it, that
even here within tbe limits of tbe Re
public there are se feral thousand of
people who long to overthrow tbe Ire
government. They do not stop to think
tbat tbe several thousand leaders are
the bead and front of tbe Demooratio
party, and tbat while the mass of the
Democracy are all right on the ques
tion of free government, they are to be
bo bandied by the slave leaders that
tbe drift of national affairs is to be set
into the old direction, with the object
of a complete restoration of tbe old
order of affairs. The moral power of
tbe heads of government of the world
is on their side ; tbe moral power of
tbe church of tbe world, excepting tbe
Protestant church, is on their side, and
the only organization in the world that
is strong, that is in favor of free gov
ernment, such as tbat established by
Abraham Lincoln in 1862, is the Re
publican party organization. Tbe elec
tion of a Democratic President and a
Democratio Congress .nay set free gov
ernment back many generations, and
briug forward a government in all tbe
Statis stronger and more arbitrary to
lb a wbole people than that nnder con
templation when Rebellion undertook
to take tbe life of the nation. Before
knowing wbo will be the nominee of tbe
Republican National Convention make
up your mind to vote for tbe Republi
can Presidential candidate and Repub
lican candidate for Congress. There
can be no mistake tn voting on tbe side
of safety to free government.
"What a queer set of people the
Democrats are when they get to
gether in State Convention. A few
Tears ago a Democratic State Con
vention at "Wilkesbarre would have
nothing to do with R. Milton Speer
for his back salary grab, but a few
days ago the Democratic State Con-
Tention at Harrisburg toot him to its
bosom, and put him forward as a del
egate at large to the Democratic
National Convention to meet at Cin
cinnati. !
Aboit a dozen State conventions
were held last week, but all conjec
ture as to who may be the Presiden
tial nominees of the respective parties
can reach no nearer than conjecture,
and that is so unsatisfactory that it
is scarcely worth while to indulge in
it One month more, and all can re
joice over their respective candidates.
My far the greater number of Amer

touch. Easy, Mr. Gladstone.

As exchange does it up in this way :
During the niontbs of January and
February of the enrenb yimr Russia1
-exported nearly nine million bushels
less of gram than she did daring the
same two months of 1879. This de
ficiency had to be made np h m some
other source, and it is only fair to
suppose Uncle Sam furnishes the
lion's share We can feed all crea
tion, if they will only give ns a little
notice of what they want England
depends almost entirely on lis for
what bread she cats, to say nothing
of the immense quantities of "garden
truck" and other produce and eata
bles we furnish for her table. But
for the farms, dairies, cheese factor
ies, pastures and slaughter-houses of
the United States, England would
soon be on short commons, and the
end would be cannibalism, with its
accompanying horrors and discom
forts. But Uncle Sam isn't proud,
and as long as people have money to
buy, he will sell, and when they
haven't the money to buy and are hun
gry think of Ireland why, bless
him, he'll give them the food for
nothing.
An exchange says : Unless our nice
Democratic Congress sobers down, gets
to business and passes a deficiency ap
propriation bill before tbis Wednesday,
June 12, 1880, there will be no money
to pay gas and water bills in the post
offices and other Government offices
throughout tbe country. Tho persons
or corporations furnishing water or gas
will be officially informed of tbe fact,
and be tree to cut off tbe supply if tbey
see fit. Secretary Sherman baa issued
a circular of instruction to all custo
dians of public buildings, authorizing
them to inform gas and water cotupa
nies of tbe situation, and tbat the de
partment has no authority to bind the
Government to the payment of bills for
water and gas contracted after the 12th
iost. A nice spectacle, isn't it! Dem
ocratic demagogues spending thousands
of dollars of Government funds weekly
in fruitless investigations, while tbe
machinery of one of tbe most import
ant departments of the Government
service is in danger of being checked
or seriously retarded by lack of tbe
necessary appropriation.
The JVbrth .Imerican says : A great
er number of emigrants came to this
country in the April just closed than
during any other month since the
world began. In April, 1S73, the ar
rival of forty-three thousand intend
ing settlers was recorded, and until
this year that figure had never been
passed. But last month no fewer
than 46,118 persons landed at Castle
Garden, 13,00'J of whom arrived
within the last six days. It is ex
pected that in May even these figures
will be overtopped. By some mys
terious process of computation the
writers on political economy have
reached the conclusion that every
able-bodied man is worth about eight
hundred dollars to the United States
his willingness to work being of
course presumed. At this rate our
national wealth is being very mate
rially and rapidly increased.
A lover named Johnson, in New
York, after obtaining a j?70 ring from
his sweet heart, left her. Like a
sensible girl, she did not pine over
the loss of the fickle man, and bring
a 6uit for breach of promise, with a
claim for consequential damages, but
she sued him for the recovery of the
ring. She did not get the ring, but
she got its value in money. It is
nice to love and to be loved in return,
but to love, and be robbed by the one
you love is too bad. The girl was
sensible ; her dignity was aroused,
and she was glad that she had es
caped from the clutches of the thief
with the loss of only a ring. If he
had deceived her till after marriage
then her condition would have been
humiliating. She congratulated her
self that she escaped so easily from
so bad a man.
As exchange says : u The feminine
mind is powerless against the allure
ments of fashion. Some time ago
the announcement was made that the
young ladies of the normal school in
Baltimore had, with a gratifying dis
play of good sense and with lauda
able self-denial, discarded frizzes,
puffs, bangs, and like frivolities. But
the Baltimore American chronicles
the sad fact that the young heroines
I have already grown weary of the
bangs, frizzes and puffs as of yore."
A Montreal dispatch says : "There

Hope, minister of Agriculture, has
given orders, Leaver, that there
shall be a relaxation of tiio nile, 2nd
that American hogs will be allowed
to enter on condition that they be
slaughtered on their arrivaL"
A Quebec dispatch says: "In all
the Roman Catholic churches on Sun
day at high mass, a lengthy pastoral
was read from the Archbishop of
Quebec against all excursions and
pleasure parties, evening walks and
drives on Sundays and feast days,
under pain of committing a very
grievous Bin."
A lawyer named Samuel Davis was

of the lower court, and he must take

Under tbe bead of " Thi Bot or
the Period," tbe JVorih jlmerican
writes in this way : Independence is
undoubtedly a very covetable attribute,
whether pertaining to tbe condition of
a nation or tbe character of an individ
ual ; but tbere are conditions under
which a display of tbis quality may be
objectionable on account of superabun
dant quantity. Tbis is notably the case
when tbe American "boy of the period"
happens to come prominently under no
tice ; and it must be admitted tbat be
bas proclivity for so doing as persist
ent as it is provoking. Upon whom
rests tbe responsibility for tbe total ab
sence of reverence ou the part ef tbe
youth of America it is difficult to de
fine ; but tbe fact remains tbat neitber
age nor position, authority, paternal,
constituted nor delegated, usage of so
ciety, nor indeed anything which tbe
minor of a century since would Lave
cheerfully respected, commands from
"the boy of tbe period'' even decent
attention. The mere errand-boy of to
day smokes bis cigar, keeps on his hat
in tbe presence of an employer, leaves
a door open or slams it defiantly, and
generally does things whioh are suffi
ciently innovatory to send a shudder
through tbe crumbling ashes of our an
cestors. It may be that tbe feeling of
independence should be fostered ; it may
be tbat tbe great boon of liberty should
be widely diffused ; but on tbe other
hand, it may be tbat independence will
degmerate into impertinence, and tbat
liberty will be debased until it becomes
license. We deal with no chimera when
we thus call attention to s growing evil.
Tbe independence which was achieved
by tbe founders of tbis nation did not
owe its existence to bluster ; it was not
consummated by tbe energies of those
who bad no respect for constituted au
thority, for few of the dependencies of
Great Britain were more loyal to the
parent government (until grass oppres
sion rendered further submission servi
tude) than were tbe America colonies.
For tbe future welfare of tbis nation ;
for tbe purpose of preventing tbe growth
ot an aggressive disposition calculated
to be more eostly than valuable, it is
well tbat tbe "boy of tbe period"
should feel tbe curb a little ; should be
taught, in addition to tbat book learn
ing which a generous, far-seeing people
so lavishly bestow, to behave himself
decently in yontb in order that be may
be able to instruct others on attaining
bis majority.

About five years ago a man named
William E. Udderzook was hanged in
Chester county for the murder of a
man named Goss. The two had con
spired to swindle life insurance com
panies. They effected insurance to
the amount of $25,000 on Goss' life.
Goss then bnrned down a little shop
in which he worked, first placing in
it a dead body which he had obtained,
his purpose being to make the insur
ance companies believe it was his
body. Udderzook was to get the in
surance, which was to be divided be
tween the two. But suspicious cir
cumstances attending the affair caused
the companies to refuse to pay, and
delay ensued. Meantime, Goss, who
was in hiding, became clamorous for
money, and threatened to exjwse the
plot To silence him Udderzook
killed him. The New York Herald
some days ago published what pur
ported to be Udderzook's confession
of the crime. Numerous denials of
the truth of this confession have al
ready been made. Among these de
nials is one from A. C. Goss, of Bal
timore, brother of the murdered nisn.
Mr. Goss says the confession is a lie
from beginning to end, and is noth
ing more than a speculation of one of
the lawyers for Udderzook on his
trial He says Udderzook couldn't
have written the confession as printed,
because he had no education at all,
and even if he did write it, it is a lie,
as it is full of inconsistencies through
out Mr. Goss intends to prove be
yond a doubt the truth of hi3 asser

that purpose, which he will give to
the public before long.
A Reading dispatch says : Brandt
one of the three Raber murderers to
be executed at Lebanon on the 13th
inst., has made a lengthy statement
concerning the various insurance
speculations in which he was inter
ested at different times. At one time
Brandt says he held $17,000 on the
lives of various persons, but two of
the companies failed and he could
not keep np the other policies and at
the time of Ruber's death he did not
hold a single policy. Wise took him
to see old Raber. Brandt also re
lates what he knew of the murder of
a peddler near Cold Spring in 1875.
He also gives an account of a coun
terfeit money speculation in which
be was engaged. Brandt says that
Wise sent word to him, asking him
what he had done wrong, where
upon Brandt replied that his confes
sions were lies. A man named Bethel
Young and Brandt at one time had
Raber insured for $5,000. Brandt
most solemnly affirms that at no time
was he ever connected with or con
nived at the conspiracy for the mur
der of Joseph Ruber, and says that
if he had received a separate trial he
could have established the fact
Wise, Hummel and Brandt have
chosen their spiritual advisers. Wise
seems resigned to his fate and spends
most of his time in singing and pray
ing, while Brandt appears indifferent
inlv maintaining his complete in
nocence oi the crime. He has a bit
ter feeling agaiiLt Wise, which he
expresses on all occasions- llommei
has very little to say.
Intelligence from Williamsport, on
Saturday, relates tbat Catharine Miller
and George Smith were that day con
victed in court, for tbe murder of An
drew Miller last March. The crime of
which they are convicted was one of
the most atrocious on record. Mrs.
Miller urged Smith to murder her bus
band that they might live together, and
it was proven tbat wben Smith decoyed
tbe old man out to tbe barn at eleven
o'clock at night by making a noise and
men ciuODcd mm to death sue baa a
clothes line, which she banded to tbe
man wbo had killed ber husband to
haDg him up in tbe bain, for tbe pur
pose of creating an impression tbat be
bad committed suicide. Both of them
confessed to the crime of murder. One
of tbe most pathetic sceoes tbat oc
curred in tbe court during tbe trial was
wben the eldest daughter of tbe wretch
ed woman, aged 10 years, was put on
tbe stand to testify against ber mother.
Tbe child had witnessed part of the
crime from the window and bad also
been informed by tbe parties tbat ber
father was killed by them. Tbe child
gave in ber evidence in a clear, distinct
voice, and when she closed many eyes
were bathed in tears. Mrs. Miller is
the first woman convicted of murder in
Lycoming county, and tbe fact that a
man and a woman will be executed on
tbe same scaffold will eause a sensation
in tbat part of the State.

At noon last Thursday, two men were
attemptiug to explode a nitro glycerine

throwing the torpedo out of tbe hole
against tbe derrick. Instantly there
was a tcrrifio explosion, scattering the
engine bouse, boiler bouse, derrick and
machinery in a thousand different di
rections. Tbe oil caught fire and shot
np into tbe air a buudred feet in a
blazing column. Tbe ground for miles
around was covered witb a thin layer
of oil and oil-soaked leaves. A strong
wind was blowing from tbe west and
the fire spread witb frightful rapidity
in tbe direction of Rew City. Tbe oil
well property, tanks, rigs and machin
ery were one sheet of flame for a dis

however, aed young Van Houten was
shot dead by Dalzell, wbo discharged a
gun heavily loaded with buckshot point
blauk into bis abdomen. Tbe young
man lived but a few minutes. Tbe

HairVigor,
FOR RESTORING GRAY HAIR TO ITS
NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR.
It is a most agreeable dressing, which
is at once harmless and effectual, for
preserving the hair. It restores, with
the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or
gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown,
ordeep black, as may be desired. By Its
use thin hair is thickened, and baldness
often though not always cured. It
checks failing of the hair immediately,
and causes a new growth in all cases
where the glands are not decayed ; whila
to brasHy, weak, or otherwise diseased
hair, it imparts vitality and strength,
and renders it pliable.
The Vigor cleanses the scalp, cures
and prevents the formation of dandruff;
and, by its cooling, stimulating, and
soothing properties, it heals most If not
all of the humors and diseases peculiar
to the sa'p, keeping it cool, clean, and
soft, under which conditions diseases tf
the scalp and hair are impossible.
As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair,
The Vigor is incomparable, ft is color
less, contains neither oil nor dye, and
will not soil white cambric It imparts
an agreeable and lasting perfume, and
as an article for the toilet it is economi
cal and unsurpassed in its excellence.
