Elsewhere in this paper is pub lished a letter from General Grant to United States Senator Jones. Many well-informed men declare their be lief that General Grant never wrote the loiter, and before many days pass by he will declare the letter a forgery. A dispatch on Saturday from Wash ington, says : The amount of five per cent, bonds covered by notices and the actual receipt of bonds which have been continued at three and a half per cent, to date aggre gates 189,114,300, 20,039,950 of which was received yesterday. Talk about popular books. The Scriptures lead them all On Fri day up to noon 250,000 copies of the revised New Testament were sold in New York city. There was a pro portionate amount sold in all the cities and large towns, swelling the number sold to several million copies in one day. The revision of the New Testa ment changes words, but the doc trine of the resurrection and the life to come is in no way affected by the revision, and as that doctrine is the great principle of Christianity, all objections to the revised Scriptures must fall to the level of criticism only. " The Czar of Russia made a nar row 6scape from poison on the 12th inst A palace scullion sprinkled ar senic ou a dish of salad, of which Alexander III is very fond. As salad was not on the bill of fare, however, its presence was regarded as singu lar, and an investigation followed, leading to the discovery of the poi son and the arrest of tho poisoner." Have the cook to taste of each dish in the presence of the Czar. That will stop the poisoning. It is said that Mr. Tilden and Sen ator Lfeivis are about organizing a new party, and that they hope to get Mr. Conkling into into it The party is to Ik-, based upon the idea, or practical operation of the idea that to the United States Senators belong the control of the national appointments in the several States. It is quite a nice question to theorize on ; but Low does the theory get around the letter of the Constitution that gives the President the appointing power ! Ha! Colonel Thomal A, Scott, ex- Rail road Prasident died at his home in Philadelphia, on Saturday, aged 58 years. He was born in London, Franklin county, Pa., in 1824. In 1841, ho received an appointment as a clerk to the collector of canal tolls at Columbia. In 1S41 he was ap pointed railroad station agent at Duncansville. He was soon pro moted to the Superintendenev of the Western Division of the Penn sylvania Railroad, then General Su perintendent, then Vice President, and from that to President He was Assistant Secretary of War under Abraham Lincoln. He organized the Teias P.ciric Railroad, lost his health by overwork, and died a millionaire, at a period of life when he should have been in the full vigor of mature manhood. He was twice married, and leaves a wife and four children to mourn hie death The Russian government has issued an order forbidding the persecution of the Jews. Col. ThoVas A. Scott's funeral took place on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. Interment in Woodland Cemetery, Philadelphia. The rail road engines and passenger depots were draped in mourning. "Tax lady physicians of Russia paid a graceful tribute to the mem ory of the late Czar while his remains were lying in state. They placed on his coffin a beautiful wreath of flow ers bearing the legend. 4 To the Czar Civilizer,' to signify their admiration of the sovereign under whose rule women had first been permitted to practice medicine." Those who are disposed to de nounce the institutions of this coun try by declaring that it is no place for poor people, are not the most dis criminating kind of people. In this country the avenue to every place of business, to every office, and to wealth is open to all, and a man of ability, ambition, energy and discretion may reach almost any place he pleases to enjoy. Men in every walk of life at test the truth of the above statement As to the 6ecurement of office, Presi dent Garfield is an illustration. The President is cited here because of the prominence the place gives hint "J. S. Brown, President Garfield's pri vate secretarv, is another illustration. He is a native of Washington, and when a boy worked at carpentering witli his father. 15y the advice and with the assistance of his Sundav- school teacher, he studied Latin at niffht after his day's work was done, and afterward studied phonography m the same w ay. He became an ex pert, and now enjoys a salary of 3, 200 per year." T. A. Scott the great manager of railroads, is another illus tration. Thousands of other cases could be cited, one and all of which become a complete refutation of the utterances of the Communists and Kearneyites. Os Friday the following dispatch, relative to the Garfield-Morey letter of last election campaign, was sent to the country : A nolle pros was yes terday entered in the case against Kenward Phiip, Charles A. Byrne, Louis F. Post and Joseph Hart, in dicted for forgery of the Morey let ter. Philp arose and said feeling sure of his innocence after the indig nities he had suffered, he thought his acquittal should come from a jury after a fair trial. On the prelimina ry examination the district attorney had publicly suid he had overwhelm ing evidence as to the guilt of the man who wrote the letter, and then and since ho has been held up before the public as the writer, and he now wanted that averment denied. Dis trict Attorney Rollins said for the purpose of having it recorded : I am thoroughly impressed with the conviction that the forgery of the Morey letter was a public crime of exceptional gravity, and that whoever perpetrated it pr connived at it, or was maliciously or willfully concern ed in its publication, is deserving of severe punishment But in the ab sence of evidence sufficient to show that the defendants were partite to the forgery, or had guiltv knowledge that it wa3 a forgery at the time they published it I am unwilling to pros ecute this indictment lhe entry was made and the case dismissed. Cas this be true ? '-Pasteur states that at a farm near Senlis, cattle which had died of carbimcular fever twelve vears ajro were buried at a certain spot within a walled garden Some specimens of the soil were after that lapse of time lixiviated and con centra ted, and some guinea pigs in- occulated with the matter thus ob tained died soon afterward, develop ing all of tho well-marked symptoms of carbuncle. Seven sheep were al lowed to pass a few hours a day at the place where the diseased animals were interred, dnd the result of this experiment was that two of the sheep died of fever in about six weeks. The vitality of the germs of this dis ease is remarkable." Another case of di-ussring is re ported as follows : A singular letter, purporting to have been written by James Singleton, who has been miss ing for some time from his home in Wiilianiaport, was recently received by his friends in that city. It states that he and a friend were drugged in a saloon in New York, and when they recovered consciousness they were at sea in a ship in which there were two other men who had also been kidnapped. They had been stripped of their best clothes and all their valuables. They eventually made their escape from the vessel and hid in the woods. The letter is post marked baulsbury, Canada. General Simon Cahebox presented his old homestead property at May town to the Lutheran church of that place as a memorial to his wife, de ceased, conditioned, '"so long as it is devoted to the uses of a parsonage it is to remain in possession of the trustees of the Lutheran church of Maytown." "If the house is not oc cupied for 12 months as a parsonage then it is to become the property of the East Pennsylvania Synod of the Lutheran church, and that a portrait oi the late Juizabeth Cameron re main in the parlor of the parsonage." "The house is situated in the central part of Mavtown, is a large two- story brick house, substantially built, and surrounded by a half to three quarters of an acre of ground, well filled with fruit trees, vines, bushes and shrubbery." Limestone in a new form is bein" experimented with in Lancaster coun ty as a fertilizer. A Lancaster man says oi me appacation of lime as a fertilizer : Many of the farmers who have been for years using burned or caustic liine on their lands have been testing pulverized limestone in its natural state, and the attention of lime burners is now being directed to the production of the carbonate of lime in such a form that it can be ap plied to the ground. A gentleman in Lancaster county has built a mill with a capacity of 6000 pounds a day, but is unable to supply the demand, and will increase his facilities at once. The stone is crushed to a fine now- der and packed in sacks. Those who have tested it as a fertilizer sreak of it in the highest terms. He&e is an item in regard to the construction of the canal across Cen tral America from ocean to ocean : Ks Secretary Thompson aaya the Da Lesseps canal scheme is progressing faster than was expected with the preUminary work of clearing off trees and laying out the course of the canal He expects to be able to have excavation started by midsummer. He is having 700 portable houses con structed, to be taken down there and put up. They will also take a large stock of all kinds of tools, including heavy steam shovels for excavation. A narrow-guage railroad will be run along the side of the canal to carry out earth from the excavations to where it is needed for grading. He is going to try an experiment with American labor, and will test the adaptability of negroes to the climate by taking out a colony of some 500 blacks from the Gulf States. If those taen do not stand it he may employ Cuban coolies. Ah exhange, writing of the effect of alcohol upon the brain, eayst 44 When brain substance is placed in alcohol it loses its water and its mo bility of particles and becomes more solid and firm. The question here arise : Is this possible with the living brain ! Is it possible, (asks the Pop ular Science Monthly) that in cases of delirium tremens, so much alcohol has been consumed that by its diffn uiVin flirniirrli the brain it has robbed nerve-matter of its mobile character, and consequently of its power to throw oil the products oi ua me functions T That alcohol may in this way act on the brain of the inebriate is an opinion which, as yet can hard ly be demonstrated directly, but ex periments made seem to render it highly probable Brain substance derived from an ox was placed in a diluted solution of alcohol at the temperature of the blood, viz., 100 degrees Farenheit When the liquid was drawn out after a few hours, and filtered, the filtrate threw down a white deposit of matter which the alcohol had dissolved out of the brain." Geobge W. Mukph, a eitizen of Pittsbnrg, to commit suicide took nine grains of morphine, and then hastened to a doctor and stated his will as to the disposition of his prop erty, he Wing a large real estate owner. The doctor summoned other doctors to save Murphy's life, but the morphine got the better of the skill of the doctors, and Murphy died. A 44 cave is " of a mine near Dead wood, D. T., took place last Friday, whereby three men were killed and five wounded. Great excitement was caused by the "cave in," in all the mining region. The following letter was written by General Grant to United States Senator Jones. A letter to Presi dent Garfield was inclosed in the one sent to Senator Jones. The Presi dent, it is said, has replied to the General in a friendly spirit Bit here is the letter to Senator Jones : City or Mexico, April 24, 1881. My Dear Senator I see by the latest dispatches received here from the capital of our country that the dead lock in organizing the Senate is not yet broken, and that nothing has been done by the President to allay the iLntterness which must be engen dered by bis most recent appoint ments. " When the first batch of nominations was sent in I was de lighted. I believed then the Presi dent had determined" to recognize the Republican party, and not a faction. But his nominations of the next day convinced me that the first act was but a part of a deep laid scheme by somebody to punish prominent lead ers for being openly friendly to me. I cannot believe that General Gar field is the author of this policy. I give him credit for being too big a man to descend to such means for the punishment of men who gave him a hearty support in his election, and who are disposed to give him the same support now, for the offence of having had a former preference for some one else for the office which he now holds. But Garfield is Presi dent and is responsible for all the acts of the Administration. Conk ling and Piatt are the chosen Sena tors from the great State of New York, and that, too, against all the opposition of an Administration cre ated by the same party that elected them. This should give them all the stronger claim to be consulted in the matter of appointments in their State. When it comes to filling the most in fluential office in their State without consulting these Senators it is a great slight When he selects the most offensive man to be found it becomes an insult and ought to be resented to the bitter end. I sincerely hope the resident will see this and cor rect his mistake himself and restore harmony to the party. He owes this to himself and to those without whom he could not have been elected. Nobody believes that he could have carried the State of New York with out the active support of her present Senators. Their passive support would not have answered. Without the State of New York General Gar field would not now be President His rewarding Robertson is not only onensive to the New York Senators, but it is offensive to New York Re publicans. The change of Badeau and Cra mer, the two appointments in which I felt a strong personal interest was very distasteful to me ; the first, be cause of our personal relations and my wish that he should be kept where his omce would support him until he finishes some work he is engaged upon, and w hich he could do without interfering with his public duties; the second, because it was at the ex pense of removing the son of my old Secretary of State, who proba bly never had his superior certainly never for moral worth in the de partment It is true Fish resigned. But he did this from a sense of honor, supposing it to be the duty of representatives abroad to give a new administration the opportunity of saying whether they were wanted or not Very truly yours, U. S. Grant. Bon. J. P. Jones, United States Senator. nr..i . n r. ' rr asmngiOQ, v.

Aden, which is at the mouth of that sea, enjoyed the other day a regular rain storm, the first that has occurred there in thirty-two centuries. Showers fail in Aden on the average once in three years, but they are puny, sickly affairs: The late storm flood ed the country and frightened the natives, who had never seen a genu ine rain before, ottt of their wits. Ever since the Suez Canal has been dug the climate of Western Arabia has been modifying, and rains have become more and more frequent, owing to a change of current and winds." Is regard to the Raber murder in Lebanon county, a dispatch, under date of the 18th inst, from Lebanon, says: One year ago Charles Drew, Frank Stichter, Henry Wise, Israel Brandt and Josiah Hummel were hanged for the murder of Joseph Ra ber in the northern portion of Leba non county in order to secure the insurance money on his life, amount ing to 11,000. An important sequel has just been made public in the con fession of Brandt and HnmmeL two of the conspirators, who requested their spiritual adviser, Rev. George F. Trabert, and counsel Colonel J. P. S. Gobin, not to furnish the same for publication until one year after their death. Brandt was the hotel keeper at whose inn the conspirators met and conceived their scheme. He charges that the project was broached by Hen ry Wise, who effected the insurances on Ruber's life, and that GeOrge Zech man, who wad tried and acquitted, was the most active one in carrying out what Wise had planned. Brandt's reason for requesting that his con fession be withheld was tL!at it impli cated Zechman, and hence he desired a delay of a year in its publication. Hummel states that Wise was the in stigator of the scheme and used his Utmost endeavors to interest others in the project Zechman met Hum mel at Wise's house and made ar rangements for the insuring of Raber and then working him out of the way. Five persons had insurances on Ruber's life and Drew was the man selected to do the job. Zech man and Wise sent Hummel to Drews house to order the killing of Raber upon a certain day, but he failed to find Drew at home. On the next day Hummel went to Brandt's and asked the latter whether Drew would do the deed and was told that it would be done that week. Drew wanted $1,500 for drowning Raber, but the sum was considered too high, and Humiuel felt that as far as he was concerned the project was aban doned. Zechman, the only one of the six conspirators who escaped the law, five having sunered the penalty of death, is now engaged in farming in Upper Bern township, Berks county. STATE ITEMS.

Cathartic Pills Combine the choicest cathartic principle in medicine, in proportions accurately adjusted to secure activity, certainty, and uniformity of effect. They are the result of years of careful study and practical ex periment, and are the mont effectual rem-' edy yet discovered for diseases, caused by derangement of the stomach, liver, and bowels, which require prompt and effectu al treatment. Aran's Pills are specially applicable to this class of diseases. Tbey act directly on the digestive and assim ilative processes, and restore regular healthy action. Their extensive use by physicians in their practice, and by all civilized nations, is one of the many proofs of their value as a safe, sure, and perfectly reliable purgative medicine. Being compounded of the concentrated virtues of purely vegetable substances, they are positively free from calomel, or amy injurious properties, and can be ad ministered to children witb perfect safety. Aran's Pills are an effectual cure for Constipation or Costivenesa, Indices, tion. Dyspepsia, Lose of Appetite, Foul Stomach and Breath, Dizziness, Headache, Loss of Memory. Numb ness, Biliousness, Jaundice, Rheuma tism, Eruptions and Skin Diseases, Dropsy, Tumors, Worms, Neural aria, Colic, Gripes, Dlarrhra, Dysen tery, Gout, Piles, Disorders of tbe Liver, and all other diseases resulting from a disordered state of the digestive apparatus. As a Dinner Pill tbey have no equal. While gentle in their action, these Pills are the most tborongh and search ing cathartic that can be employed, and never give pain unless the bowels are inflamed, and then their influence is heal ing. They stimulate the appetite and digestive organs; they operate to purify and enrich the blood, and impart renewed health and vigor to tbe whole system. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
