A sofBER of city editors are advo
cating, that no men who are, or who
have been actively connected with
the speculative insurance companies
should be nominated for office, and
if nominated they should be de
feated. The operations of Father llaloner,
the priest who worked miracles at
Erie, this State, have been discovered
to be no miracles. It is reported
now that the girl that was raised from
the dead was in business with the
Father to trick the public.
Long ago, about the time the Jews
were in the Wilderness, there was a
canal across the Ihthmus of Suez. It
is a strip of canal that is hard to
ket-p open, because of the encroach
ment of the Ban.l. Last week a
steamer grounded, and the canal was
closed to traffic till the ship was got
cf It is a costly piece of business
to keep the canal open.
It is a question why Auditor Gen
eral Schell did not conclude the trou
ble with certain corporations before
his retirement from office. Why did
he leave $3,000,000 tax to be collect
ed or not collected by the new Audi
tor General ? Does he wish to em
barrass the Lemon management to
such a degree as to make political
capital for the Democratic State
ticket !
Tje Duke of Sutherland, a Scotch
nobleman, is traveling in this coun
trv now. lie was in this State last
week. At Carlisle he visited the In
tlian school, and so highly was he
pleased that he delivered a speech, in
which he praised the aims of the
school. Nothing in this country that
he had seen had afforded him eqij
interest and pleasure. As the Duke
is a blooded aristocrat, and as all
such people date their ancestry back
to tribal days, perhaps the Duke had
wondered away into the mazes of the
past to the time when his ancestors
were trib.il "barb;uiaus" in Scotland.
Perhaps he was speculating in his
mind as to the aristocrat of five, six,
or eight hundred years in the future
that will date his ancestor from the
tribal Indian boy at Carlisle in 1881.
Who knows what hidden thought
caused the Duke to find or see. more
interest in the Indians at Carlisle
than in all the other objects brought
to his attention in America?
Washtsgtoh city was excited over
the action of President Garfield last
Thursday. The cause of the excite
ment is the action of the President
in regard to certain appointments in
New York State. Among the num
ber of appointments made, and which
required the confirmation of the
United States Senate, was that of
Judge Robertson for the office of
Collector of New York. It is consid
ered that the Judge is a Garfield man
not that the others are not Gar
field men, but that tbey are more
Couklwg than Garfield men. For
some reason or other a Senate caucus
of the Republican members so shaped
things ilmi it became understood
that Robertson should not be con
firmed in his nomination this ses
sion. When President Garfield heard
cf that purpose of the Senators he
sent to the Senate and recalled all of
the nominations for New York ex
cepting that of the Judge. The
nominees recalled are Conkling's
friends. The Presidat allows Lis
own nomination to stand. It is a
crisis wherein the exercise of sound
ju lgment is needed to prevent a rup
tore with the President. GarfieiJ
bos always been a strict Republican,
not for office's sake, but because his
mind and heart approves of the prin
ciples that underlie the political sys
tem of the Northern States, and
therefore he is strong with the mass
of the party, and it will prove a dif
fi.wlt thin? to belittle him because
he desires to exercise certain prerog-atirts

A rrmmn from Lackawanna coun
ty was offered im the Legislature last
week, praying for the impeachment
of Governor Hoyt and Attorney gen
eral TJL W. Palmer, for pardoning
Kfcmble and others, and for appoint
ing certain officers of the judiciary
in the county named. The petition
was mostly signed by wild Irishmen
from the mining region. The Legis
lature voted the petition out of their
proceedings.
Whe a certain petition was read
in the Legislature last week, with a
certain member's name on it, the mem
ber arose and declared that he never
signed the petition, and that the man
who put his name there did it without
consulting with him. It was tne peti
tion against General Hoyt and Attor
ney General Palmer. A prosecution
for forgery would compel such peti
tioners to confine their action to some
thing like respectable methods.
A New York paper says : u Prof.
Chandler, in renortinff to the New
York Board of Health the result of
his inquiries into the subject of oleo
margarine, says it is superior in all
respects to the poorer grades of
dairy butter sold in New York ; that
there is nothing objectionable either
in the material or its manufacture ;
that there is nothing unwholesome in
oleomargarine, and be sees no need
of legislation in regard to it to pro
tect the public health."
It is humorous to hear Democrats
tell that the Democracy has not
changed. It is real funny to hear
Democrats in the next breath declare
that the Democracy are in favor of
the amendments to the Constitution
which give the colored man a vote,
and so forth. If it was Democracy
to enslave the colored man, and if
Democracy has not changed, how
can Democracy be in favor of the
freedruan, and the enfranchisement
of the colored people ?
The JVorM American says: The
health inspectors of Chicago have
found that in one establishment in
that city 3,000,000 pounds of rags
were used in one year for the manu
facture of mattresses by the shoddy
process. These rags had been picked
out of the sewers, and at least a por
tion of them came from hospital
sources. It is not easy to imagine
the amount of disease germs which
such debris might carry, or to esti
mate exactly under what conditions
they would become active. There is
an unpleasant suggestiveness thus
conveyed in connection with cheap
bedding of the "shoddy" variety.
The subject is one which needs ven
tilation and a certain amount of au
thorized inspection.
A California paper says : Another
evidence of the disposition of the
Kearney strijie of San Francisco sand
lotters was rereutly given by a man
named Brewster, one of the pillars of
Kalloch's church. Brewster had ob
tained pofcseahion of a house on the j
strength of an agreement to pur
chase, but failed to pay cither purchase-money,
interest or rent, and a
writ of possession was sued out and
placed in the hands of the Sheriff.
When Brewster found he had to leave
he proceeded to a wholesale destruc
tion of the premises, daubing the
walls and woodwork with black paint,
spiking the doors to the frames, gird
ling the trees and shrubbery in the
yard, smearing the frescoing with a
mixture of whitewash and allies, and
so defacing the whole building that
it will require an outlay of several
hundred dollars to restore it
This is from an Oiuo paper, and is

It is an extract from a letter
written by Mrs. Garfield ten years
ago to her husband, now President
Garfield. Ihe letter was handed to
tne editor by Air. mndaie, who is
president of a literary institution in
Ohio. Airs. Garfield says: "I am
glad to tell that, out of all the toil
and disappointments of the summer
just ended, I have risen up to a vic
tory; that the silence of thought
since you have been away has won for
my spirit a triumph. I read some
thing like this the other day: 'There
ia no healthy thought without lr.bor,
and thought makes the laborer hap
py.' Perhaps this ia the way I have
bee? able to climb up higher. It came
to .me oue corning when I was mak
ing bread. I saiI o myself: 'Here
I am, comix-lied by an iue'
'able ne-
cessitv to make our bread tllis sum
mer. Why not consider it a pleasant J
occupation sua m&Ke it so uy trying
to see what perfect bread I can make ?'
It seemed like an inspiration and the
whole of life grew brighter. The
very 6unhhine seemed Mowing down
through my spirit into the white
loaves, and now I believe my table is
furnished with better bread than ever
before."

Another ease still more remarkable
is now reported from Canaan township,
Wayne county, not many miles from

sufferer from a white swellibg on ber

who bav examined ber to be incurable.
She bas boen treated by some of the
most noted medical men iu tbe country,
who gave np all hopes of ber recovery,
ac! abe has tried all kinds of patent
medicines, with no relief whatever from
ber painful malady. About a month
ago she beard of tbe remarkable cure
of Miaa Tyler by prayer, and, believing
Ibat ber cure could be effected by the
sane means, she procured of Miss Tyler
the address of tbe woman in Connecticut
who bad officiated in Miss Tyler's case
and received an answer appointing the
hour and day when Mi Etta's friends
should engage in prayer for her restora
tion to bealtb. Sunday, April-24, was
tbe time appointed, and on that day
her frionds gathered around ber bed
side and prayers were offered. Within
an bonr Miss Ludwig noticed a great
charge in her condition, and abe is now
to fully recovered as to be able to walk.
She bas not, until this time, ia many
years walked a step, and ber recovery
ia at least wonderfull."

Whereas, in process of time, the
heirs of the said Adam and Eve be

to be inconvenient to remain in com

such partition ; and,
Whereas, by virtue of the said par
tition made by the heirs of said Adam
and Eve, all that certain tract of land
called and known on the general plan
cf the said Earth by the name of
America, parcel of the said large
tract, was allotted and set over unto

vice and consent of their great coun
