The Democrats are pulling at the
tariff question. Some of them at the
one end, and some of them at the
other end.
Dr. Hammond states, that twelve,
or ten rears at the earliest, is the
proper age for children to begin

.newspapers.

The New York Independent says,
at religious contemporary in Chicago
boldiy argues in defense of giving fa
tal doses of chloroform to those at
tacked with hydrophobia. But why
draw the line at hydrophobia ?
The British have won another bat
tle against the troops of the False
Prophet, and the Philadelphia Times
gives the secret of the victory when
it says, "the breech-loader is to the
Arab spear jast about what a camel
is to a locomotive."
James Rodney Bablow, a young
Philadelphian, has discovered the se
cret power of the Keely motor, and
applied it to a baud car on the West
Jersey railroad. The experiment
was a success, the car was run at the
rate of seventy-five miles an hour.

Tee paper money decision of the
Supreme Court Las produced three
or four different bills in Congress,
every one of which proposes to a
iucnd the constitution so that Con
gress shall not have power to make
anything but gold and silver coin a
tender in payment of debts. The
fathers considered gold and silver
coin the foundation on which all mon
ey transactions should be founded.
Congressman Ochiltbee s resolution
of praise of the German agitator has
already brought fruit. The North
German Gazette, published at Ber
lin, Germany, has opened its batter
ies on the American Minister, in an
unfriendly manner, and another wild
Congressman, named Iliscock, from
Xew York, has offered a lot of reso
lutions in Congress, in which Bis
ruark is styled as the "too powerful
subject of Germany."
Tin-: question, of whether the
Judges of the courts should wear
gowns, is being quietly discussed a
mong the legal fraternity. After the
revolution of 177G, the gown was laid
aside by Judges. It was looked up
on with contempt by the revolution
ary colonists, of the woods of Amer
ica, as part of the dress of the King's
bench. It was considered as part of
the livery dress of I loyalty, and that
was enough to rause the revolution
ary fathers to laugh it out of court.
The home of Hayne, the Southern
poet, was recently visited by a cy
clone. During the raging of the
storm the poet seized his pen and
under the inspiration of the terrible
scene reduced his sensations to verse.
He describes a cyclone as '"The un
translated blasphemies of helL" The
poem, it is 6aid, will add much to his
reputation as a poet There is a man
in Mifiliutown who believes, as does
the poet, that storms are created and
sent upon their mission of destruc
tion by old Satan.
It is reported that foreign brokers
Lave been buying the trade dollar
at 5 and 10 cents off, for the purpose
of speculation. They, it is eaid, have
parties to work them off on emigrants
that come to this country. When
the emigrant arrives in America he
will be told that his dollar is worth
only 90 cents. If Congress would
retire the trade dollar for the legal
tender, or make it a legal tender, the
contemptible business of the brokers
and other coin speculators would be
brought to an end in trade dollars.
A recent writer in considering the
question of dancing and theatre go
ing, says: "The christian Las no
right to any enjoyment that retards
his spiritual developetnent," and he,
the writer, believes that dancing and
theatrical performances do both re
tard spiritual development. But
the writer does not express his belief
us to the effect that business has on
spiritual development. He does not
express his lelief as to the effect that
blind man's buff and other kindred
plays lias had upon spiritual develop
ment He does not express his be
lief as to the effect thnt kissing par
ties have on spiritual development
The Republicans of Allegheny Co.,
and Beaver county, are up in revolt
against the action of their County
CommitUe, which elected delegates
to meet in conference to send Con
gressional delegates to the Republi
can National Convention. The work
of the Committees i3 called machine
work, and it is proposed to 6et their
- work aside by calling the people of
the party to take a vote at the poles,
for such candidates as desire to go to
Chicago, also to vote for the man
that they prefer for President The
election will be held on the 29th1
day of March. That is the kind of
an election that should have been
held in every Congressional district
in the Commonwealth.
Last Friday evening the New
York Free Trade club held its 6th
annual dinner. Speaker Carlisle went
over from Washington, and in a re
sponse to the toast "Our Federal
Union'' spoke of Free Trade. He
favors a tariff for revenue only, and
characterized a protective tariff as
an abuse, and a system to prohibit
commerce. To reach such a conclu
sion of speech, he stated how the
protective tariff systems of the State6
or colonies of America had kept down
commerce and prosperity between
States, but as soon as Free Trade
was established between the States
by the union 1787, a general pros
perity came to all the people. The
speech is a pleasant enough one, but
the Speaker's illustration does not
apply for the reason that the gov
ernments upon whose goods a pro
tective tariff is proposed, are foreign
governments, while the States re
ferred to bv Mr. Carlisle were form
ed under one government, the Con
gress of which is now presided over
by the able gentleman who was the
of guest the New York Free Trade
club, last Friday night
An Eloper Shoots a Father.
The Philadelphia Times, of March
12th, publishes the following:
Gold Mine Station, Pa,, March 11.
Some months ago Peter Christ
man, a fanner liviLg about eight
miles from here, notified Ezekiel
Henry to discontinue his 'attentions
to his daughter Mary, a comely girl
of about nineteen years. Ezekiel
seemed to have taken the warniug.as
his visits to tLe girl ceased to all ap
pearances, but it leaked out that the
lovers had held surreptitious meet
ings. Old farmer Christman when
he heard the gossip 6 wore to kill Hen
ry if he saw him in company with his
daughter.
He kept a 6trict watch on his daugh
ter's movements and about two weeks
ago surprised a small boy in the act
of conveying a note to his daughter.
The note proved beyond a doubt that
the young couple had made arrange
ments to elope. The note spoke of
the girl's father in very harsh lan
guage and told the girl that she was
in no way bound to obey the com
mands of her father in such a matter.
The old man went to the house of
Henry's parents and told them that
if their son persisted in his efforts to
ruin his daughter he would kill him.
Two weeks went by without an at
tempt on the part of young Henry
to prosecute his love affairs and old
Christman thought matters in that
direction at an end. But last night
Henry informed a conlidential friend
of his that to day he and Mary Christ
man would be far away and the old
man Christman could go to the deviL
This morning Mary asked permission
to go out for a walk. Her father as
sented, but sent her little brother, a
boy of about twelve years, along for
the purpose of keeping an eye on her
movements. The young woman pass
ed Henry on the little street of the
village, but did not talk to him.
About 11 o'clock this morning she
managed to elude her father and got
out of the house unobserved. In a
bout an hour after this she was miss
ed and old Christman instituted
search. He found that she and Hen
ry had been seen driving out of the
village together. The farmer httch
ed two horses into a light spring
wagon and started in pursuit He
was accompanied by Heury Swope
and Israel Mover. They overtook
the eloping couple about ten miles
from here, steering for Lebanon.
Christman shouted at them to stop,
but they paid no attention to him.
Christman 's party soon overtook the
couple and springing out caught hold
of Henry's horse's bridle and stopped
him. Christman then began to up
braid Henry. The latter jumped
from the wagon and sprang on Christ
man. Christman drew a revolver,
but Henry was too quick and drew
a pistol and fired, the ball striking
Christman in the leg. The other two
men ran forward and Henry fired a
gain twice and injured the two men,
Moyer in the left side and Swope in
the right arm. He then jumped in
to the carriage and drove down the
road, leaving the woman standing by
the side of the three men. She went
to a farm house and secured help
sufficient to convey her father to his
home. Henry was arrested at Heif
er's and taken to Gold Mine and com
mitted to await the result of his vic
tims' injuries. The girl is almost de
men ted over the sad sequel of her
love affair. The entire village is ex
cited over the occurrence, and threats
of lynching Henry are freely uttered.

Death from Hydrophobia,
Habbisbubq, Pa March 13. Six
weeks ago William Hamer, of High
spire, was bitten on the right thumb
by jct Skye terrier. He cauterized
the wound, but on Monday, after
being ill during the two previous
days, he was seized with spasms.
The attacks continued in frequency
and violence until it required the as
sistance of six strong men to bold
him in his bed. na-ner was subse
quently placed on the floor and a con
trivance improvised to secure him in
order to preeut him from injuring
his attendant. This consisted in fix
ing a chair over his head and shoul
der so that the rungs kept his bead
and arms in a certain position, they
being secured by boring holes
through the floor and fastening it
with a strong rope. While in that
position medicine was forced through
the unfortunate man's teeth, which
had the effect of quieting him np to
a lute hour Monday afternoon. Ten
dollars worth of chloroform has been
used to assist in keeping the man qui
et since Sunday. He died on Tues
day night

Letter From Kansas.
Abilene, Dickinson Co., Kansas,
March 7, 1884. Mb. B. F. Schweier.
Dear Sir: I will try and write a few
lines and let you know that we are
all well and have been since we came
to Kansas. It wag one year ago on
the 2d day of this month that
we came here. We are all very well
pleased with tho country. It is a
great place for raising 6tock. There
are farmers here that have over 100
cattle, and more than that number of
hogs. This is also a great wheat and
corn country. Wheat averages 25 to
35 bushels per acre. We had 95
acres in corn and that averaged 50
bushels shelled corn to the acre. Last
summer waR a good season for all
kinds of grain. We had a good deal
of rain during the summer and the
fall was nice till Christmas, but from
that time to this the weather has
been cold. When at its coldest point
the thermometer was 24 degrees be
low zero, with little snow. The roads
have been good and a wagon runs as
smooth as a sled. We have no stones
to run over. We have 4 horses and
have only had 2 shoes driven since
we came here. The soil is black, deep
and loose, the grass is prairie grass,
and is different from all other grass
that I have seen, it makes good pas
ture, and hay, the hay is cut in Sep
tember and October, it is green all
summer. Our town Abilene is a great
business place. There are 4 elevators
and 2 mills here. Last week one day
there were 82 grain teems in town at
one time. It is the greatest place for
grain that I have ever seen, for the
grain trade. Enterprise 6 miles be
low Abilene is an other place of bus
iness, for which they chum that they
can beat anything in the country for
grinding flour, they make three kinds
of flour, they pay 60 to 80c for wheat,
30 to 33c for corn, 30c for oats, 30c
for ryepotatoes, 50c. Horses are high
in price. Cattle per hundred, at 4 to
6c, hogs at 5c to 5fc, butter, 15 to
20c, egg 15c a great deal of corn is
put in the ground with a plow that
will turn a furrow on both sides, it
has two mould boards, and the corn
is planted in the furrow. We planted
some that way last year and it did
well. The weather has been cold since
March set in. I believe the wind is
not stronger here than in Juniata.
I will send a paper in when they
print a good one. There are somebig
papers printed in this country. I en
close $1.00 post office order for sub
scription to the Senti.nax and Repub
lican. I cannot do without the J un
niata news., we have good neighbors
here. The Riverbrethren have a large
congregation on both sides of the
river. We live on the south side of
the river 3 miles west, aud 4 miles
south of Abilene, and have to cross
the Smoky Hill river.

"The first institute in this country
met at Ithaca, N. Y., over forty years
ago, and in a county with over two
hundred teachers, twenty five of them
were present The teacher is suc
cessful just in the degree he awakens
the understanding. Every teacher
should strive to elevate the profes
sion. It is not the profession that
ennobles the man, but the man the
profession. We need the true teach
er. ine true motive of education is
harmoniously to develop all the fac
ulties." Sup't Smith next said : "An
institute is not beneficial if the teach
er don't want to make it so. Knowl
edge is power, and at the institute is
the place to get it. That it is the
teacher who is always at the front at
the institute who succeeds the best

gree of Punishment in School, open

punishment depends on the nature
of the offense, the motive, frequency

tion, the age, sex, aud the tempera
ment of the offender. The teacher

pupil has been controlled by outside
influences or not. The discussion

The End and Aim of all Education,

of all education is the perfection of
the individual. The true end ana
aim cultivates tho moral as well as
the mental part of man. No partic

things which will be digested and
will make the mind grow." Song by
Miss Schaeffer. The Teachers Mis
takes, by J. N. Keller. 1st "There
are mistakes made by the teacher
before he is a teacher, and one is in
not being qualified. 2nd. It is a
mistake not to make the proper im

In trying to please even-body we can

of the development of the mind. 6tb.
It is a mistake not to try to educate
