—Here is a cabbage-head storv from
the Indiana National. 'George Fry,
of Fast Wheatfield, lifted his cabbage
last fall, and setting on the ground root
down, covered it thickly with straw
and earth to keep cut the frost. Tho I
heads were very small when put away,
and Geo. was surprised and delighted ;
last week on removing the covering to
find that his cabbage had been growing
all winter and the heads twice as big!
as when lifted three or four months I
previous.'
—There is fighting again in Afghan
istan, but fortunately for the British
the present row does not involve them
and the probabilities are that instead of
embarrassing them further it will
smooth the way for their getting out
of the embarrassing position they now
occupy in tLat country. One of the
reasons for delaying the withdrawal of
the British army of occupation from
Candahar has been the fear that it
would precipitate a sanguinary civil
war, terminating in anarchy and the
laying open the territory to a .Russian
advance.

England through the treacherous con

them to go straight home and set
themselves to the defence of hearths
and homes. The people went in a

—The report of the committee ap
pointed to investigate the management
of the Gas Trust of Philadelphia is in
some respects an inconsequential d icn
ment, but confi ins the criticisms as to
the mismanagement of that institution
The fact that public opinion has forced
an examination of this trust speaks well
for the existence of an active reform
sentiment in Philadelphia. But reform
must not be content with this one bit
of work There are twenty other in
stitutions that require investigation.
The street railway system is a griev
ance even more important than the
Gas Trust. No city of the Union has
street franchises so completely in the
hands of a ring as Philadelphia. This
Ring controls legislatures, repeals laws
intended to limit its operation and pas

—The slaughter of the Fr. nch ex
pedition, which had set out to make
preliminary explorations ami surveys
for the Trans-Sahara Bailroad, is a
most melancholy recital. The engi
neers had a strong band of followers,
and were .will armed and equipped,
but were surprised by hostile tribes
and all the leaders except two were
killed. These two retreeted with
sixty-one men, to receive from another
treacherous tribe sympathy and pois
oned dates. The only surviving
Frenchman, Polequin, with twenty
eight natives, was at last accounts
fighting for his life with another band
of marauders, and the chances of a res
cue were very slender. If the pioneers
and surveyors are exposed to such
deadly perils as these, the travelling
public will learn with composure ofthe
failure of th" enterprise and the delays
which it involves. Rapid transit is
not a pressing l need in the Sahara.
—Four students of Syracuse "Uni
ve-sity are under arrest, at the instance
of the college authorities, charged with
cruelly hazing a freshman, whom thoy
seized upon the street, gagged, carried
four miles into the c< untry and left
him tied to a tree, after having shavid
his head. An account of the affair
closes with the statement that there is
great indignation in tbe University,
that tbe law should be invoked against
students. It is fervently to be hoped
that the matter may be sifted to the
bottom and, if the accused be proved
guilty, they may be punished, a* other
persons would be punished, for the
same offense, w th an added penalty
for bringing into disrepute what should
be peculiarly the training of gentlemen.
Such a policy, rigidly adhered to, will :
do much to'hasten the total extinction j
of abuses that have their vitality simple
from traditions, and are happily already !
much mitigated.
—Of all the wonders which should,
and do, among business men, attract
attention and insure; c.irelul examina
tion, that of the western and northern
trade, II<JW (lowing eastward, where in
exchanges another curt<-nt is created,
which flows and divides between the
two lirst points, is the most wonder
ful feature in the commence of a con
tinent, the American people, or any
other people, for that matter, have
been called to contemplate. Notwith
standing the winter has been one of
unexampled severity, the material
wealth now bt iug sent to market is at
least one-third greater in value than
i that ever transp irted during tho same
! season, from one to another point on
the continent. And it is material pro
duct which demands a market where
ever it is offered for sale. Every por
tion of it is rejuied jo the necessaries
of life and the needs of business. It
brings the ea.-ii in all markets. Its
supply is always in d< ni-md, and when
ever it is sold a want is at once created
for more.

—"Old Abe" is dead. Few of the
superior human race have a wider rep
utation in America than did he—though
he was only an eagle. He was taken
from the nest of his parents, in Ctip
pawa county, Wisconsin, then only a
half feathered little eaglet, prior to 1801.
The Indian who found him, sold him
to a resilient of Eau Claire, in the same
Slate, and was by him transferred to
Company D of the Eighth Wisconsin
Regiment, which was familiarly known
as the "Eagle Regiment."
With that company at the head of the
regiment, he went through the war,
participating in every fightof the many
in which the regiment was engaged,
and escaping all the perils of the field,
was mustered out at the close of the
war.
Since that time he has lived in hon
orable retirement, save when some
emergency called for his services for
the public good. Such an one was the
exposition of 1876, which he attended
from first to last, and hundreds of
thousands of the Philadelphia pilgrims,
of that year, romember his dignified
bearing upon his perch, in the Agricul
tural Building.
A TOUGH TLMOR. —Jacob Smeltzer,
an old citizen of Bell townsh'p, West
moreland county, died recently, aged
about 70 years, and in noticing his
death it is as well to note the fact that
for the past thirty years he has been a
sufferer from a most peculiar affliction.
At the beginning of that period a tu
mor began to grow on his leg and, in
a few years, hand gr<,wn so that it be
came a burden to him iu every sen -e of
the word. The local physicians ac
knowledged their skill was without
power to aid h'tu, and he accordingly
paid a visit to Philadelphia thinking
that some of the eminent surgeons in
that city would be able to afford him
relief; but his visit was a failure, as
they declined to risk the removal of the
tumor, fearing his life would be jeop
ardised by the experiment, lie suffered
no pain from the foreign mass but, as
it was located on the inner side of the
leg. he experienced much inconvenience
from its presence. In order to keep it
from bearing too heavily on the afflict
ed limb, he supported it by bands cross
ing his shoulders and attached to a sack
covering the tumor. After Mr. Smelt
zer's death (in the interest of science),
the tumor was removed and examined
by the local physicians. It was found
to be a solid grisUy mass, covered by
a heavy coat of flesh and weighed when
stripped of its covering just 60 pounds!
The ease has excited no little inte-est
in medical circles, as it is certainly a
curiosity never before brought to notice.

—IMPORTANT ARREST. —Ever since
the ribbery of John Connor, reported
in our last issue, a corps of detectives
have been steadily at work trying to
unravel the mystery and ferret out the
cowardly perpetrators, and they now
think they are in a fair way to accom
plish their purpose. On Thursday eve
ning constable R. W. Elder, armed
with a warrant and accompanied by de
tectives Geary of Pittsburgh,and lvribbs
of Clarion, proceeded to the residence
of Samuel Jackson, in Brady's Bend,
and arrested Win. Harp, Jacob Ott and
Win. Jackson, am! brought them before
Er-quire McGreggor, where a charge of
participation in the robbery was pre
ferred against them. Upon the hearing
evidence was adduced contradicting the
statement of the prisoners as to their
whereabouts on the evening in ques
tion, and going to show that they were
abroad at an unseemly hour and acting
iu a suspicious manner. After hearing
lie- evidence Justice McGroggor'decid
ed to hold them to bail, and they being
unable to secure the necessary security,
a commitment was made out and they
v, ere taken to Clarion jail, leaving here
on the midnight express. The prisoners
are ail well known in this community,
having been raised from boyhood just
across the river in Brady's Bend. They
claim to lie able to prove by a number
of witnesses a clear alibi, and thus ful
ly establish their innocence, and we
sincerely hope they may In* able to do
so. However, the officers claim to be
iu possession of evidence riot brought
out at the hearing which goes to show
that they were among the perpetrators
of the dastardly deed.— EarA Brady

My wife had been ailing a Ion? time
with dyspepsia and nervousness and
was in hod two years with a complica
tion of disorders her physicians could
not cure, when I was led by rending a
circular left at ray door to try Parker's
Ginger Tonic. Having been so often
deceived by worthless mixtures nothing
but my wife's d.rigerous condition
could have led us to make any more
experiments. But it was a big success.
Three bottles cured her, at a cost of a
dollar and fifty cents, and she is now
as strong os any woman, and regularly
does her household duties.—-,R. D.,
