The Episcopal church of Philadel
phia hag refused to receive the mon
y raised by a Charity BalL
Fabmeks of Sedgewick co., Kansas,
sent 31 cars loaded with corn to the
flood suffers of the Ohio Valley.
The teachers in Wellsley College
are, all of them women, with thd ex
ception of one man, in the depart
ment of music.
Two members of an educational
convention that called on President
Arthur, say he stated that the hap
piest years of his life were spent
when he taught school.
Accobpin'o to the construction of
the Supreme Court, Congress can is
ue as many legal tender notes as it
pleases, to, and at any time that it
pleases to issue them.
A New York iue-iical paper states
that all powder and paint for ladies
faces that contain murcury, zinc, and
besmuth are poisonous and in their
effects produce colic, dyspepsia, par
alysis, tremors and Kevcral other dis
eases. A Southf.hkn paper says, a half
dozeu or more reputable citizens of
Turnerville, Texas, declare that they
saw six coffins hovering over the res
idence of Mr. Reneau at the moment
the spirit fled from his wife. As they
melted away sweet strains of music
were heard in the air.
There are quite a large number of
Democrats in favor of Til Jen " being
their candidate for the Presidency.
When told that his age is against,
him, that in all probability he could
not long survive the excitement of a
presidential campaign they consoling
ly remark that the Tire-President,
Hendricks for instance, can fill the
vacancy.
Whes the Grand Duke Alexis came
to thin country he set the fashion for
gentlemen to dispense with gloves
at entertainments. He has been a
way so long that gentlemen in cities are
going back to the gloves which will
prove a benefit to the glove makers.
They the glove makers don't want to
see mauy princes in America a3 visi
tors when they 6et such plain fashions.
Mb. Stexgek, the Democratic Sec
retary of State, was over to New
York a few days ago to see Mr. Til
den about the Presidency. He says
Tilden will not be a candidate, that
Lie has not the physical strength for
a campaign. Stenger is for Randall
if their fugle organ,the Tribune, is
to be taken as an indication of the
preference of the Democratic state
administration.
The bill pensioning the soldier of
the Mexican war, will give a pension
to "many a man" that fought in the
Confederate or rebel army, an ex
change says further in regard to the
bill. "This new Mexican war bill
gives a pension to all "enlisted men"
which includes many men who never
saw Mexico. When the principle is
applied to our last war, all the "home
.guards" will come in for pensions
and moro thau half the men in the
United States who have passed the
ages of thirty-five years would be on
the pension list."
The Soudan troops fought the Brit
ish with a bravery that would drive
every red coat out of that country if
they had the improved arms of the
English. The North American in
speaking of their bravery says, ene
mies who are capable when lying
wounded on the ground of feigning
death striking with their knives at
the soldiers passing over them are
not to be despised, and men who will
crawl on thoir hands and knees be
neath the range of the Gatling guns
in order to get a close quarters may
be set down as very awkward cus
tomers. A Washisgtox newspaper writer
draws comparison, as follows of a
number of Gongressmen. Bryon
Cutcheon is said to resemble Garfield
in appearance. Congressman Law
rence, of Pennsylvania, might pass
for a portrait of George Washington.
Congressman Thomas Williams, of
Alabama, is Colonel Ingersoll in min
ature fat, round face, doublechin,
laughing face, bald head and all.
Congressman King, of Louisiana, im
itates Napoleon Bonaparte in bangs,
struts and attitudes, as well as in fa
cial construction. Congressman Ged
des, of Ohio, resembles Abraham Lin
coln, but is not so large, and has
email feet and hands.
Miss Faxt Dave.vpobt claims
to
believe that fleshiness is a disease.
She has reduced her weight t-om 180
pounds to 133. Her method, de
scribed by herself, is as follows : "I
walked twelve miles every day arid
dieted myself ; no candy that broke
my heart ; no sugar in anything and
nothing with sugar in it ; no vegeta
bles of any kind except sliced toma
toes and others on which vinegar cahJ
be used, and not a particle of bread.
Now I eat only dry toast, a few crack
ers and a Little meat of some kind.
I drink claret, and I will have
cup of coffee in the morning,
my
al-
though 1 ought not to take it I ex
ercise. lhat is what has made me
what I am. I determined to do it,
and I have done it I never felt bet
ter in my life. I feel strong and well,
equal to any task. I believe that
fleshiness is & disease anyhow, and
that very fat people are never well."
The Lower House of Congress waa
all attention last Thursday, when the
Lasker resolutions were brought be
fore it by Ex-Governor Curtin. Be
fore the resolutions were acted upon,
the red headed Texan ranger, Ochil
tree, must seeds deliver a speech.
He spoke in defense of the resolution
that he had brought before Congress,
in praise of the agitator, Lasker, but
after he was through the resolutions
as offered by Curtin were passed.
The resolutions read :
Resolved, That the resolutions re
fernng to the death of Dr. Edward
Lasker, adopted by this House on
January 9 last, were intended as a
tribute of respect to the memory of
an eminent foreign statesman who
bad died within the United States
and an expression of sympathy with
tie German people, for whom he had
been an honorable lepresentauve.
Resolved, That the House, having
no official concern with the relations
between the executive and legisla
tive branches of the German Govern
ment, does not deem it requisite to
its dignity to criticise the manner of
the reception of the resolutions or
the circumstance which prevented
their reaching their destination after
they had been communicated through
the proper channels to the German
Government.
Going to Seek a Fortune.
The Philadelphia Record of the
21st inst., says : -
A correspondent writes to The
Record to ask whether it would be
judicious for him to go to the newly-
discovered gold rmnes in Idaho in
search of a fortune.
Much depends upon the kind of
young man, and much upon bis pres
ent circumstances. The young man
who writes admits that he has had
employment for several years, and is
now in receipt of a salary, but that
it is very small and that there is no
chance of further advancement Yet
he is but IS an age at which many
young men who are destined to make
a good livelihood for themselves have
not yet earned their first dollar. He
is in a city full of schools and insti
tutions of various kinds for acquiring
knowledge, and full of busy business
men who require help. A young
man of 18 who is earning anything
s rather fortunate than otherwise.
If the position the young man is in
offers no chance of advancement he
would do well to spend his evenings
in acquiring information that will tit
him lor something better, or to work
gratis a couple of hours in some oth
er business until he has learned
enough to be worth a small salary.-
It may seem hard nut to have a mo
ment to spare for recitation, but it is
the fate of many of us, and he who
will not give up his recreation when
young for the sake of acquiring use
ful knowledge will probably hnd him
self forced to be a 6lave to hard and
ill-paid work all his life.
Lilt if it is hard work to toil all
day for a pittance, and to study ev
er' evening to fit oue's-self for some
thing better, it is far harder than all
this for a penniless voung man to
make his way to far Idaho, and there
wring a living from the rocks. 1 irst,
there is the long journey, and the
time and the hardships to be endur
ed befcre reaching the mines. In
the time he could learn much here ;
with the money (for money he must
take or earn on the road) he could
do much here ; and the hardships,
unless he is built like a rock, may in
jure him for life. ' Second, if he sur
vives the roughing it on the road he
will have to rough it there, rough it
on poor food at high prices and no
credit, rough it without a house over
his head and with anything he can
get for clothes. This he miftt da un
til he strike pay rock; and here comes
in the third difficulty what if he
finds no gold T What if, after all,
there is not much gold to hnd T hat
if he gets there after all ' the good
claims are locate IT Has the young
man any actual knowledge of how
far it is to Idaho ? and how far (from
the difficulty of the route) it is to
the gold mines when he gets to Ida
ho T Does he know anything about
"indications ?" can he dig for ten
hours at a stretch ? is he handy with
a shotgun f can he live on bad pork!
can he sleep on a blanket on the floor
of a board shanty f If he can answer
all these questions in the affirmative,
and believes that to bear all this is
easier and more pleasant thin to
work round a warehouse in Philadel
phia, and offers a better chance finan
cially, by all means let bim go. Yet,
even if the young man belongs to
what may be Called the right sort to
rough it ; if he is one of those excep
tionally healthy, happy go-lucky per
sons to whom what would be misery
to others is downright enjoyment
still let him reflect that the gold is
covered up with snow, that bad meals
cost a dollar each, and that he may
come back in a year or two richer in
nothing but experience.
The men who are sure to succeed
well at the mines are not the miners.
He who can open a store or saloon
is likely to have a fortune ; a carpen
ter or a stage driver may do well ;
and a gambler, unless he gets shot,
may do better so far as accumulating
money goes. If the young man who
writes for advice is confident of his
powers in the first three of these di
rections, perhaps he will do well to
go ; and if he is ambitious for suc
cess in the Last, he cannot go too
soon.
Silas Smith, a colored preacher at
Moberly, Mo., has been sentenced to
the penitentiary for five years for in
stigating his followers to burn the
building of a rival church.
Delos Hotchkiss, of Marion, Conn.,
has an annle tree in his orchard that
is supposed to be 175 years old. Its
annual yield is about eighty-five bush
els of apples. The circumference of
the trunk is 6ixtecn feet near tne
ground. It bears fruit on five limbs
one year, and on four different limbs
the next year. In 1877 it bore on all
its limbs.
A Pension Swindler.
From the Philadelphia Time of March 22.
For three years past the Special
Examiners of the United States Pen
sion Office have been engaged in a
futile chase of an elusive ubiquitous
counterfeit of themselves, who nnder
a half hundred aliases, the most worn
of which are Captain J. W. Jenks,
Captain Thomas, A. C Webb and
Rev. James Andrews, has swindled
the veterans of the country out of
over 10,000. He was run to earth
at Marietta in November last by Ex
aminer Spragne, of this city, and
clapped in Lancaster Jail, on a make
shift charge of carrying concealed
weapons a clasp knife and two re
volvers. His term expired on Thurs
day and yesterday he was brought to
this city, and, waiving a hearing, was
committed in default of $1,000 bail
by United States Commissioner Phil
ips. Such a weight of aliases conceal
Jenks identity that his true name
has not yet been discovered, nor has
his original residence been brought
to light He is about fifty years old,
a little man about five feet six inches
in height, with kinky yellow hair and
a corn-silk moustache. There is a
peculiar droop in the lids of his shifty
eyes.
WHERE HE HAS OPERATED.
He began his work in Indiana three
years ago. He has worked there and
in Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio
since. He has married two wives in
this Stnte in the meantime and one
in Ohio. All were wealthy widows,
whose property he appropriated.
Two instances of his regular work
and one of wanton and profitless de
ception will illustrate his methods
and make clear his recent history.
It was in September that he visited
State Line Bridge and fonnd a crip
pled veteiau there who wanted his
pension cf $7 a month increased.
"Only seven- dollars a month!"
said Jeaks. "We never pay seven
dollars a month ; it should be eight
dollars, at least. I'll fix that for you
now."
He calmly took the pensioner's cer
tificate and voucher and altered the
amounts. He charged the veteran
five dollars for it and the bare-faced
fraud was not discovered until the
veteran came to draw his quarter's
pension at the agency in this city
It is for this, the least crafty of his
tricks, that Jenks is held.
HIS LONO LOST DAUGHTER.
In October he went to Washing
ton, N. J., and perpetrated a fraud
which caused great excitement at the
time and which looks like a practical
joke. There was a girl commander
of a boat on the canal at Washington
all of whose family but herself and
her father had been drowned in a
flood in 1863. The father had been
the penitentiary at Buffalo, N. Y., at
the time of the catastrophe and bad
never returned. Jenks personated
the father and reclaimed his long
lost daughter. The fact was heruld
ed throughout the country. The
next phase of Jenks' masquerade wits
a proposition to buy the girl a house
and mill for $6,000. He went so far
as to have the title searched and then
disappeared on the day transfer was
to have been made, with nothing to
show for the two weeks' time he had
lost but an overcoat and pair of rub
ber boots.
It was just before last fall's elec
tion that Jenks landed, one rainy ev
ening, on the dock at Burlington, N.
J. He was then the Reverend James
Andrews, but still a special examiner,
with a United States detective's star.
He met a man on the wharf to whom
he explained his bogus mission and
said that he wanted to get board in
the private house of some pious vet
eran. He was sent to a Methodist
exhorter named Bowen, who was a
Grand Army man. Jenks duped this
man and through him got at the vet
erans. He said that he was specially
directed to adjust claims for increas
ed pensions, and that on account of
the expense attendant on the search
of the records in such cases the gov
ernment exacted from $-3.50 to 5 on
each claim, according to its nature.
He collected $77 between Thursday
night and Tuesday morning, when he
was obliged to decamp.
ON HIS TBACK.
Claim Agent Reeves, of Burling
ton, had heard of the examiner who
charged for his services and sent
word to Washington, Examiner
Sprague, of this city, was detailed on
the case, but Jenks got wind of
Reeves' action and fled before the ex
aminer's arrival The latter trailed
him to Marietta and there pounced
on him. He was just completing ar
rangements to extract twenty Lur
dollars from Marietta pensioners. As
he iuul not consummated the offense
by receiving the money and the ex
aminer had no requisition in thoNew
Jersey case, the latter was at first at
a lo-s. Unluckily for himself, Jenks
was urmed to the teeth and on the
trivial charge of carrying concealed
weapons he has lain in jail since No
vember 19, while day by day the ex
aminers have gathered further de
tails of the criminal history of their
great impersonator.

tance of 400 yards and were dead be
foro they struck the ground. No
other people on the train were killed.
A sleei)er, baggage, and smokers'
cars weut over an embankment of
30 feet Mr. Rich, of Chicago, was
one of the injured. He states '-that
at the time of the accident he was
sleeping in the first sleeper. The first
intimation of duDger that he had was
when he heard a loud report and
found himself thrown out on the
floor of the car. He then felt the car
turning over and rolling and he
could not imagine where when it fi
nal!? stopped. At the foot of the hill
he got on his feet and it was only af
ter helping the injured out of the car,
from come portions of which an exit
bad to be made through the windows,
that he found himself to be injured."
Communication.
Those Tramps.
Mb. Editor: The general ques
tion among onr rural friends now a
days is : What is the Tramp" Law T
You know that we in the country al
ways find other employment than to
sit down and study up the laws pass
ed by our Legislature. Kuowing
that if we heed the admonition of the
Apostles, and each one "be a law un
to himself," no one wronging his
neighbor, we have on an averag, not
much to fear. But, we would still
like to be somewhat enlightened on
the Tramp Law, as we are under the
impression that our Legislature, a
few years ago, passed a law which
was intended to abate the tramping
nuisance, while we see, under what
is termed the enforcement of said
law, the nuisace is being aggravated.
Look at the operation of said law
if it is law and behold a batch of
a dozen or two of "scattered human
ity" confined in a jail as tramps or
vagrants; a bill of indictment pre
ferred before the Grand Jury in each
individual case, a separate Jury trial
for each, the Court under obligations
to furnish a lawyer for defendant in
each cose, and at -the end of the game
the whole brigade is acquitted, there
being no evidence to show that they
are tramps. Now, here are the fees
of the committing magistrate, the
Constable's fees, the Jailor's fees and
boarding, the District Attorney's fees,
the fees of the attorney for defend
ant, the fees of the Clerk of the Court,
the time consumed by the Court and
Juiy; altogether aggregating an ex
pense of probably twenty dollar's in
each individual case, and all this ex
pense to be footed by the industrious
and tax-paying portion of the people.
Next comes another brigade as nu
merous as the first ; they are com
mitted in the evening, fed and lodg
ed for the night and in the morning
they are brought forth for a hearing,
to be dismissed and be "sent on their
way rejoicing." Again the tax pay
ers have to pay from two to three
dollars in each cose. All these out
rages are being committed, we are
told, in the county, by virtue of an
act of the Legislature. If even it is
law, it is no less an outrage ; but in
that case it becometh us, as a people,
to bear it with the best possible grace
until such law be altered, amended
or repealed, to which end we should
put forth our most strenuous efforts,
to have it repealed at the earliest pos
sible day.
Under the present administration
of the law there is no greater in
ducement under the son, if a man
finds hard tugging to get along, than
just to throw aside everything and
go tramping. If the law is capable
of a construction in such a way as to
make it a benefit instead of a burdeu,
and be so administered, the tax-pay
ers would, no doubt, be highly grat
ified. Amicus.

What is hers is her own. Tbe
Lewistown Gaxette, of last week pub
lisbed tbe following: Lewis Troxell re
covered a judgment against Christian
Slookberger iu tbe court of eommon
pleas of Lehigh county. Execution pro
eess issued and tbe sheriff levied upon
larvo quantity of personalty and prop
erty used io carrying on tbe business of
brewing. Stockberger s wife, however,
interferes, claiming (be propeity levied
upon as ber own. An issue was framed
nnder the sheriffs interpleader act to
try tbe title to tbe property, and on
lbs trial the faets proved were about as
follows: That by the willof Mrs. Stock-
berger's former husband, all his prop
erty, including the articles levied upon
by tbe sheriff, were left to bis wife.
Sbe'continued the business until ber
marriage with Stockbcrger. She then
bad the license of tbe saloon changed
from ber name to that of ber husband,
bad his name put upon all of tbe signs,
permitted Stockberger to draw checks
in tbe course of business, and tbe bank
account io bis name and under bis control
Tbe execution creditor asked tbe com
mon pleas judge to charge tbat. nadir
this state of faots, tbe wife could not
set np seperate ownership to the injury
of creditors. Tbe court, however, refus
ed to instruct the jury that a married
woman could so lose ber title to per
sonal property clearly ber own before
marriage. The jury found a verdict io
favor of tie wife.
The supreme court affirms this judg
ment of tbe common pleas of Lebigb
county in a per curiam. The court
says : "The faot tbat a husband acts as
the agent for bis wife in buying and
selling and investing ber money, does
not, without her consent, transfer ber
property to bim. Tbe purpose of the
act of 1848 is to protect married wo
man io tbe enjoyment of ber separate
property. It is not necessary tbat that
property should be exclusively in her
possession. Judgment affirmed.'
Last Saturday, six children from tbe
village of Valonia, Crawford county,
went out to search for "sugar water.''
They tapped some kind of tree and
sipped tbe juice, and soon after took
sick. One boy aged 10 years died on
Sunday, 3 others are expected to die,
and tbe others are quite sick. Tbe
latest information is tbat it was not
tbe sap ot tbe trees tbat sickened theui,
but that it was a plant or root called
wild parsnip of which they ate.
