That Mr. Drew was a very shrewd and daring ojierator in stocks we all know. Not many years ago he was one of the richest o|»erators in Wall street and in the country, and he had gathered his great fortune by manipulating stocks for n rise or a fall. What they were really worth, whether thi corporations which issued them were manager! for the public benefit or only In the interests of a ring of speculators, wnro matters about whieli be didn't concern himself. All he thought of was their use to him in making money. Ho feeling, he was not unlike stock speculators in general, who do not pretend that they are playing the part of unselfish public benefactors. They are simply trying to make as much money as they can, and even if their purses are filled by the depletion of those of their neighbors, they sleep with consciences which make them no trouble, and rejoice tit their prosperity.

PRIDE of birth and pride of borne were seated firmly on their thrones In the Van Ness mansion sixty years ago when Congress man Van Ness, it Dutch Knickerbocker, came to Washington and built a grand residence on the banks of the Potomac for the reception and home of his bride, Marcia Burn*, at whose feet Lafayette had kin-It in vain as a suppliant lover, and whose hand was kissed by Aaron Burr in homage and adoration, and Tom Mool-e when he was in America in IKO3 wrote a son net to her eyebrow. The years rolled on in eh-l/ant state and hospitable entertainment within the Wall* of the Van Ness house, and finally master and mistress oassed the way of all mortals, leaving no children behind them to transmit their name, and so the property passed into the hands of relatives, who by their bad management ami unthrilt soon reduced the princely estate to ruin, and to-day the old house stands in decay, moss-grown and storm beaten, occupied as a beer garden by the col ored citizens of the Capital, and a negro brass huml plays there throughout the hot nights on the same floor where a few decades ago the solemn, stately measures of the minuet were trodden by George Washington and his courtly successors. SOUF, eyiis, tetter, suit rheum, Ac., are cured by "Dr. Lindsey's Blood Searcher," Hold by all druggists. AN old swindle, with new varia tions is now being worked among the farmers of Wayne county. An "agent" comes along with a wagon load of metallic rods, and inter views the farmer on the suhjeet of lightning. Perha|M the farmer has heard of lightning-rod men, and doesn't eure about dealing with them. In such a contingency, the agent is not a man of that description at all, hut is in an entirely different business ; he merely furnishes "pro tection against lightning" in a perfectly safe and honest manner. The "company" for which he is operating puts up lightning rods, but without asking a man to buy tl cm. They just compute the interest on the cost of the rod, and for the yearly payment of that amount the "company" Insure the building, anil pay the loss if it is struck by lightning. The eost of the rod is estimated at any convenient sum from fifty to seventy-five cents a foot and the ouantity required at from twenty-five to forty feet; ami tin; interest on the price is computed at seventy-five cents to $1.60 a year. If the farmer can b» beguiled into giving his assent, the rial is forthwith 'dai>p«d on. Then the "documents" are produced, and the baud be gins to play. On measuring the rod used, there is found to he from a hundred to a hundred and fifty feet, and the "Interest," when com puted, is three or four times the amount origi nally slated. If the farmer asks why this Is Jgtttt** ©iiisifu: llufcU*, P*»» ©<*«!?«•»? t» ISfcO. | thus, he is told that his building is an uuusu i ally large one, and takes a great deal more rod | than had been ex]>ected. If convince*! that , ! everything is right, the "agent" fills out a j I '•policy'' of insurance, and a very innocent ■ looking document for the farmer to sign, osten sible for the payment of the annual '"interest," with some conditions which have the effect of making him liable for the price of the rid. When too late, the farmer finds he has Iwught the rod and agreed to pay for it. If he de- I murs to the amount of the "interest," as com- j puted, and cannot be wheedled into proceeding further, the "agent" tries the effect of bull dozing. He alleges that the farmer is liable , for the price of the rod, and threatens a law- j suit at Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Erie, or some other remote point. If this game does not sue- j ceed, he next offers to "compromise," and j take a reduced price for the rod, "rather than have any litigation about it." If the farmer j yields, he finds himself on the worst side of a verv bad bargain. The only safe way of deal ing with traveling sharps is to deal not at ail. The man who takes the chances of dealing with them should take the precaution of hav ing some witness present, so that they cannot ontswear him ; he should be firm in holding them to their original terms, and he should be exceedingly careful what he signs, if sign lie must and will. If a controversy arises, their threats to sue in a distant county may be treated with contempt. If the contracting sharps are aliens, or citizens of another Suite, and the matter in controversy excaeilsssoo, a suit inav be brought in the I . S. Circuit 1 ourt at Philadelphia; otherwise it must be brought in the county where the defendant lives. But such parties seldom sue until alter they have obtained their victim's signature to something. —Jfoiietdale Citizen. MESSRS J. k G. F.

V. C. who could ba present, had their first reunion since the war, in the pleasant borough of Indian.*, this State. Two companies of this regiment, "C" ami "D," were raised in Butler county. Of these thirty members attended this reunion, 17 of "C" and 13 of "D." For the benefit of those who could not at tend, and our friends generally who read your paper, it is here proposed to give some account of the ' day's doings." The day was all we could desire in the way of weather. Y>'e left Butler on the regular train at 7.40 A. M., and, without accident, would have reached Indiana at about 12.30 P. M. On the train from Butler were ('apt. Lou den, whom we were all glad indeed to have with u-, t'apt. Fleeger, Lieut, button, Ser geants Kelly and iilack, Corporals Cook, John W. ami John S. Campbell, and high privat -s Shryock, Monie, Larilin, Rothmyer, I>. If. Russell and Sam Miller, of Co. "C." Swgeant Cleland, with D. McDonald, of Butler, J. It. Moore, Alex. Kennedy, G. W. Huselton, \\ eb Graham, D. W. Graham and Evans Nixon, of Co. "D." We were also accompanied by other old soldiers, viz : Maj. J, B.Storey, Prothono tarv Itusse'l and Clerk Wright. At Circat Belt, McGuire, of Co. "G," boarded the train. At Delano, Krause, of "C," at Saxon, Sergeant Heckart ami • orporal Muder, of "C." Joe Ilazlett, of "D," Lyon, of "E," an.l Eakman, of "I," had gone from Butler the day before. Others of "D" joined them by the way, ami these, making up the number 13. Col. Jackson and members of Co. '"G" joined us at Apollo, and delegations joined us at Sult-- burg an 1 other places before we reached Blairs ville. At this place we met Col. Gallagher, Maj. I.itzinger, Chaplain Torrence, Quarter master Torrence, Maj. li. A. McCoy, also ('apt. 11. K. Sloan,who liarl comedown from Indiana to meet us ami distribute ba lges. There were also officers and members of Cos. "A," "E," "I," ''li" and "F," with a magnificent brass band of 32 members front Altoona. After a wait of an hour for the train from Blairsvillc intersection, we boarded a train of six car.; on the Indiana Branch. Leaving on time, at 11.43 A. M., we anticipated a clear track and safe run over the sixteen miles to oar destination, but "there's many a slip," Ac. Four miles from Blair.-villc, at a sharp curve around a creek ben-l, near Blat-k Lick station, and down grade at that, some thoughtless boy ("they say") had been cracking hickorynuts on the raii with a stone about the size of a hen egg, and carelessly left the stone aforesaid on the top of the raii. We did not see the boy, nor the hiekorynuts, nor the remains of either in the vicinity at that time, neither did we see the stone, but we hrurd of it in a way to dispel any doubt as to the fact that it was there. The front wheels of the locomotive were thrown off the track, and bumped along for several roils on the ties before the train could be stopped. Many of the "old vets" were railroaders, and with their assistance the train men soon got the wheels back on the track again, but the ma chine was pronounced disabled in some way, and moved off to be laid over for repairs. A messenger bail been sent back to Blairs villc for another engine, and in about an hour the sound of its coming was heard ; then it came careering in sighf. "AH aboard" was the word, as it was expected that iron horse would push us ahead until the next station, and then switch off ami get in front of the train. Well, push it did, but commenced too sudden. The steain had been kept up too long, and the brakes would not stop the hor-e, so that lie came with a ru*h and undertook to jam his nose into the hind cud of the rear ear, and came pretty near doing it; would probably have entirely succeeded hurl be not got his nose knocked riff, and his front parts otherwise disfigured and injured. It was not without effect on the hind end of that car either; the hind trucks were lifted oir the track several feet, and the platform, etc., badly bruised up. One man, Mr. Phail, (he failed to make that coupling) who was riding on the cow-catcher, is said to have jumped just as the collision was about to happen, but was severely injured about the lu-ad and face, and probably other wise. He was an employee of tne road, anil we were informer] that a brother of his was killed during the riotous days of 1M77 by a similar collision, and he on the cow-catcher. The rest of the family should take warning. .Vone of our comrades were hurt at all. Ail olrl gentleman, carrying considerable nvoirdu pois, was on the platform of one of the rear cars, and took in the situation at a glance as he saw that iron horse coming near in his mad career. Of course he thought the ground was a safer place than where he was, and just as the engine struck, so did he, for tmn firmn. A bank <>f gradual descent of some twenty feet was on the side where the old gentleman sought for a footing, and down he went, rolling, sliding and tumbling, to the amusement of no body, until it was known that he was not hurt much, and then it seemed funny, very! A little court-plaster and encouragement set hi in all right. Strange to say, his name was Jeff Davi i, and he was going to Indiana too. Your cr rrcspoinlciit was sitting in the front car, looking out a window, ana saw the tum bling rif the old gentleman, when just then he heard a crashing of glass iu front, and looking saw that by the sudden jar of the collision the eorporosity nearest the middle of a man, with his back toward* the front window, had been sent crashing through the glass. Possibly the railroad company thinks to-day that that glass was broken on some philosophical principle of sympathy with the crush iu llie rear! [So it was, but not tin- rear of that train exactly.] All this caused a delay of over three hours. There we were a Quartermaster present but no rations. A few succeeded in getting sonic bread and butter ami coffee, but a hungry set of fellow* were there, umi old army rluy* were called to mind. A third engine was procured ami by about four o'clock we reached Indiana. What a sight there wc saw ! The platform, streets ami walks around the dc]>ot were literally jammed full of people, am! they hud been anxiously waiting since noon. There were Col. liau H. Porter, Major Dick Burkman and parts of companies '-B" ami "K." The military and fire coimiaiiics were there, and the streets and houses of thn town werti profusely nrr-lierl with evergreens and decorated with Hags-anil mottoes ami word< id' welcome. A salute of several guiiM was fired from a cannon or its equivalent for that purpose. We fell into line, about 200 of the I lib in all, and at once kept step in unison to the time of the music, with our Colonels and other officers leading us. A f'tcr a march about town wc were drawn up in front of the Court House, where an address of welcome, hearty and elo quent, was delivered by Gun. Hurry White, and well responded to by Gen. T. F.Gallagher. We were assigned place* amount the hospi table people of Indiana for dinner, and lis soon as that was over we returned to the Court House, where the met ting was organized as follows: Gen. T. F. Gallagher, president; Col. H. M. Jackson ami (apt. Samuel Ixniden, Vice Presidents; Col. Robert. Lltzinger ami Major Burkman, Secretaries. The meeting was opened with prayer by our venerable MX'Chaiduiii, Itev. Torrenee. We were next highly entertained by an elo quent oration and well delivered by ('apt G. W. Fleeger, of Butler, and tin interesting his tory of the regiment by Col. Robert A. McCoy, which time did not allow to be all read. It will be published ami a copy sent lo each member of the regiment whose address is known. Wc were also favored with a song by Colonel and Itev. John A. Dunks. We loft the Court House about !» o'clock P. M. ami marched to the Normal School building, HI the commodious dining hall of which tables were set for 440 men, ami provisions enough for l/KKI were there. The hall was beautifully decorated, ami the names of every engagement of the 11 111 in the war, or of the llescrve Corps from llriiinesville to l|clhc«da Church, were tin the walls, 'finis far all had been ijruti'l, here it was in'irfnijirr/it / yes, m't'f/tifii'rilt/'/ f/run'/ / Our vcnerablo Chaplain, llev.

Ou them w- could only look mid admire, but tin the viands we laid our hands, ami took them to our inward bosom with the greatest familiarity! There was no intoxicating beverage at this banquet.
