BENTINEL & REPUBLICAN
MIFFLINTOWN.
Wednesday, Mar 18, 181.
B. F. SCHWEIER,
KDITOB AID rCOFKIKTOK.
Tbx Senate of the United States
was surprised on Monday by the two
Republican Senators from New York
State tendering their resignations as
Senators. The cause of the resigna
tion is found in the fact that the Sen
ators and President Garfield are not
in harmony as to who shall be ap
pointed to office from New York
State. President Garfield nominated
Jadge Robertson for one of the - im
portant offices in New York City.
Senator Conkling protested against
the nomination, declaring that to put
Robertson in office with the patron
age that the position will give him,
will result in disorganizing the party
in the Empire State. How nearly
correct he is in his prediction time
Jone can telL Evidently the Presi
dent did not view the appointment in
the same light The President is a
thorough Republican, and knowingly
he will do nothing that will disorgan
ize the party. Yet a man may make
mistakes, lias the President taken
up a disorganizor in the person of
Robertson t The right of the Presi
dent to make nominations for certain
offices is a constitutional right and
cannot successfully be questioned.
The course of the Senator placed
him in a dilemma. By resigning he
took the gentlemanly and dignified
way to get out of it If the New
York Legislature sends him back, he
will return as if nothing had happen
ed, and the trouble will have been
bridged over.

People say that the inhabitants of
the world are better now than at any
other period since Adam's race peo
pled the earth. Are they? How
many murders can be learned of in a
day T How many thefts t How
many wars have been engaged in dur
ing the past twenty-five years ? The
Napoleon dynasty within the past
quarter of a century has been de
stroyed as a ruling power. The gov
ernment of France has been revolu
tionized. Attempts have been made
to assassinate kings. The Czar of
Russia has but recently been assina
ted. The American government of
the United States has been revolu
tionized through the agency of rebel
lion, and a President assassinated, all
within the past quarter of a century.
Taking the everyday life of the peo
ple of the world as a criterion to
judge by, and it indicates that the
ilulenrual days are far away.
Th Harrisburg Itlegrapk says:
There is a bill before the New York
Legislature which proposes a new
tax on the liquor dealers of that
State, each Senatorial district to be
erected into a tax district, wherein a
commissioner and deputies shall have
charge of the matter of assessments
and coll lions. The bill, if it be-.
-11 X - . L '
comes a law, win create a great, num
ber of new officers, with good sal
aries, and at the same time secure
large revenues to the State treasury.
The liquor dealers charge that this
bill is more in the interest of politi
cal patronage than of reform in the
liquor traffic Well-informed corres
pondents at Albany predict the pas
sage of the bill.
A queer occurrence is reported
from New York. A man in need of
a trunk bought a second hand one
from some city officials that were
hauling an old trunk away in an ash
cart When the trunk was taken
home a brooch was found in it The
trunk turned out to be one that had
belonged to Mr. Vanderbilt A son
of the man that bought the trunk
took the brooch, which is worth 700
or 800, to W. H. Vanderbilt and
instead of taking a reward asked Mr.
Vanderbilt to give his father a situa
tion of steady employment, which:
has been done at $500 a Year. J
Thiett lashes on the naked back,
one hour in the pillory, and a fine of
three hundred and fifty dollars was
the just penalty imposed by a Wil
mington, Delaware, court on William
Guthrie for an attempted assault on
a little girL Many people are in
favor of the institution of the whipping-post
and pillory in Pennsylvania
as a punishment to hold criminally
disposed people in check.
Mas. Garfield has been quite sick.
The President attended upon her
wants, and gave the medicine at night,
and during the day took such rest as
he required, leaving the State, to wait
upon the family. The practice is a
correct one. The State is nothing
without the individual and the fam
ily. The family is not organized for
the State, but the State is organized
to serve the individual and the family.
It is a common saying that when a
bride weeps at the altar, or during
the marriage ceremony, it is a fore
boding of an unhappy union. When
the Crown Prince of Austria was
married to the Princess of Belgium,
few days ago, the bride wept
Time will tell as to the predictions of
evil, that have been based on the
weeping of the bride. The bride is
only 16 years of age.

A scrap of information as to Abra
ham Lincoln's people was published
in the Yorth .fmeriean of the 11th
inst, in a letter from Linville in the
Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, as fol
lows : This neighborhood was settled
chiefly by emigrants from eastern
Pennsylvania a hundred yean ago.
Yon can see that the older houses
are the direct offspring of the sub
stantial homesteads of Berks and
Montgomery counties, and if you
cannot trace the Oerman origin in ine
features of their occupants, you need
have no doubt about it when you
hear their names. Ashenfelters, oho
walters, Shoepers and Pennypackers
are here in numbers. It was in this
immigration that the grandfather of
President Lincoln came from rwrts
county, Pennsylvania. He settled on
Linville's creek, a mile from where
the town now stands, and the little
log house in which he lived has been
only recently removed. He went
hence to Kentucky shortly after the
birth of the President's father. In
addition to this farm he owned a num
ber of 'acres of woodland on the ad
jacent hills, which he traded for an
old rifle upon his removal from the
country. There are numerous Lin
colns about here stilL A few years
ago they would fain have disclaimed
their relative who became a Yankee
President but now they are learning
to be proud of him. I rode over to
Lacey last week to see a second cou
sin of the President's, himself named
Abraham Lincoln. He showed me
two letters written to his father by
President Lincoln during his term in
Congress, in which he made inquiries
concerning the family, and claimed
relationship. Twenty years ago my
host said he would have burned those
let ters if he had found them, but now
he would not part with them on any
consideration.
Decay in the human stomach is one
of the most frequent of ailments,
and one of the diseases least under
stood indeed it will be news to hun
dreds of people that there is such a
disease. People in every community
die of its effects, and their death is
attributed, unknowingly, to some
other cause. A French paper of a
recent date tells of how Voltaire was
cured of " the decay of his stomach."
The article reads :
In the "Memoirs of Count Segur"
there is the following anecdote : "My
mother, the Countess de Segur, being
asked by Voltaire respecting her
health, told him that the mo6t pain
ful feeling she had arose from the
decay in her stomach, and the diffi-
culty of finding any kind of aliment
that it could bear. Voltaire, by way
of consolation, assured her that he
was once for nearly a year in the
same state, and believed to be incur
able, but that, nevertheless, a very
simple remedy had restored him. It
consisted in taking no other nourish
ment than yolks of eggs beaten up
with the flour of potatoes and water."
Though this circumstance concerned
so extraordinary a person as Voltaire,
it is astonishing how little it is known
and how rarely the remedy has been
practised. Its efficacy, however, in
casus of debility cannot be question
ed, and the following is the mode of
preparing this valuable article of food
as recommended by Sir John Sin
clair : " Beat up an egg in a bowl,
and then add six tabiespoonfuls of
cold water, mixing the whole well to
gether ; then add two tabiespoonfuls
of farina of potatoes ; let it be mixed
thoroughly with the liquid in the
bowL Then pour in as much boiling
water as will convert the whole into
a jelly, and mix it welL It may be
taken alone or with the addition of a
little milk in case of stomachic de
bility or consumptive disorders. The
dish is light and easily digested, ex
tremely wholesome and nourishing.
Bread or biscuit may be taken with
it as the stomach gets stronger."
Citizens of Johnstown, Cambria
county, had their feelings hurt last
week by the outrageous conduct of a
city drummer. The commercial man
met a young lady on the street, with
whose appearance he was pleased,
and forthwith he threw his arms
around her and kissed her. The
young lady is a daughter of a re
spectable citizen. Several persons
that saw the outrage, knew the young
lady and ran to her rescue. " The
scamp that had kissed her fled. The
citizens gave chase and overtook him.
They were great respecters of law.
or they would have chastised the
drummer when they caught him. He
was taken before the proper author
ity of the town, and the penalty and
costs of the case cost him 26.90.
He got off quite cheaply. He ex
cused himself by saying that he had
been earning on a handkerchief flirt
ation with a couple of young ladies
on the street a short time before, and
that he mistook the young lady that
he kissed for one of those with whom
he flirted.

remarkable. Tbe committee had hardly
