—The Supreme Court of the United
States has just closed its annual term,

years to dispose of these causes, saying

—Sixty-five hundred is a prodigious
number of immigrants to lie landed at

The movement now going on from
Europe to this country is almost like a

little there is for most people iu the

when the sense of individual freedom
is not joined to it.
—Thank goodness that business is
over at last. Rudolph-Francis-Cbarles-
Joseph of Austria, aged 22, has mar
ried Stephanie-Clotilde-Louise-Hermi
ne-Marie-Charlotte of Belgium, aged
17 ; the Cardinal Von

hard and fast, and the bridesmaids with
an average of ten names apiece went
to sleep last Tuesday night, each with
a piece of wedding cake under her pil

looking Crown Prince.
—A bill has been introduced in the
York State Senate providing that
Judges, in clmrging juries, shall not
review the evidence further than may
be necessary to make a proper state
uient of the law involved in the case.
This measure is based upon a sound
principle. To the Judge belongs the
duty of stating the law, but it is the
jury's province to decide upon the facts,
and in exercising that privilege it
ought not to he influenced in a-iy de
gree by the opinio JS of the Judge.
—One of the most interesting and
promising went inventions \a a ma
chine for purifying the middlings of
wheat-flour by electricity. The work
is done by parsing the coarsely-ground
middlings under a series of hard rubber
cylindrical rollers, which are kept in an
electric condition by the friction of
sheep-skin pads with the wool down,
pressed upon them from abov«\ The
electrical roller picks up the bran frotp
the middlings, leaving the pure parts
to lie ground over into flour of the
highest grade.
—The Erie Priest. Father Maloney,
who has been sensationalized as work
ing miracles, turns out to be a sharper.
It would seem he manufactured all
the evidence adduced of the alleged
miracles wrought. Their publication
brought him hundreds of letters, many
of them containing money to pay for
his intercession on behalf the sick. A
reporter got Into his good graces and
obtained he evidence to uiiiun.-tk htm.
Maloney is a disreputable priest, and it
is but just to our Catholic brethern to
say that Bishop Mullen, of Krie, and
Father Casey of tho same place, would
have nothing to do with him.

Can tea be raised in the United
States? This question interests manv
people. The Agricultural Department
at Washington claims it has achieved
a wonderful result in demonstrating
that tea can be successfully cultivated
in Georgia and other Southern States;
but the next question is, can it be cured,
prepared and fitted for the market, sc
as to make it a successful competitor
with the article produced in China.
A farm laborer gets as much for a day's
work in our country as the same laborer
gets in China for a month's service,
and this would be the difference in the
cost of tea, so it can be seen where
America would be in a competition in
this business.

the old fashioned bone set tea that
has done a world of good. If you
don't feel right try Hop Biters.

—The Western storm has at last
devised something original. Some
months atro there were complaints of
the sameness of tornado stories and of
the inevitable wagon that was lilted
from the ground and dropped iu the
top of a tree ; so the storm cast about
it for something new, big and essen
tially Western, and it got it. A de
spatch from lowa announces a general
movement of bams, two of which were
blown two miles,and one, with six
horses in it, was lifted up. carried half
a mile away and dropped to the ground
without uurting the horses. Occasion
al previous stories have.taken the cake,'
but this one 'scoops in' the entire

—The census enumerator has been
making his rounds in England, not
without the usual amusing results.
One old lady, for instance, would not
lie entered as one who slept beneath a
certain roof ou the night Ix'fore the cen
sus-taker came, because, she said, not a
wink of sleep had she had with that
blessed rheumatiz of hers the whole
night through. Another party under
the heading 'blind'wrote 'one Venetian
and six roller ditto ;'and many persons,
male and female, stated their's- x' to lie
'Methodist,' 'Congregational,' or the
like, as the case might be. Ilumor and
ignorance travel together all the world
around, and the census man is pretty
sure to draw out both.

—The latest Rign-your-name dodge
is reported from a neighboring county
where it was successfully worked. A
farmer was called upon one evening re
cently by a well-dressed, gentlemanly
looking strauger, who asked the privi
lege of staying over night, which was
granted. In the morning he offered to
pay his bill, but the farmer refused the
proffered compensation. Profuse iu
his thanks for the kindness bestowed
upon him, he asked his host to favor
him with his siguature, which request
was unsuspectingly complied with, and
in a few days the farmer received no
tice that a note was held against him
for sfcven hundred dollars, the signature
to which he could not deny. This
beats the phosphate or corn sbeller
dodge considerably.

They tell it on one of our citizens
who was ambling toward his place of
business, that he was approached by a
lady acquaintance of the family, who
said: Mr. , I hear you are suf
fering from rhumatir-m, is it so?
'Rumor 'tis m'ni' said our citizen of
few words, as In; proceeded on his way.
Ovei in Chicopee our neighbors and
friends have been having quite a time

have used St. Jacobs Oil, and es'eeni it

ever tried. It acts like magic, and I
cannot over estimate its value, when
I pronounce it the greatest rheumatic
remedy of the age.
—The President saya he is not wor
rying about 1884, and no man of sense
supposed he was Conkling is the
mau who is agitated on that subject.
Not only is there a President to be
elected then, but the Legislature which
is to determine Mr. Conkling's success
or is also then to be chosen. If be has
the patronage of the State and the |
Custom House all will will lie serene j
for him ; but if he losses both, the out ,
look will be very different. Nobody I
knows better than he that the perpetu
ation of his primacy depends ent'rely j
upon the perpetuation of his privilege'
to dis|K-nse all the patronage lie has i
hitherto controlled. The President, ou 1
the contrary, owes his election to the;
free will of the people, and be can afford
to trust his future entirely to them.
He was nominated without patronage

—The great office-jobber of the
United States, Roscoe Conkling of
New York, sent word to the U. S.
Senate last Monday that he had for
warded his resignation as a member of
the Senate to the governor of that
State. He and his colleague Piatt,
who also resigns, join in a lengthy let
ter to the governor, which was read in
the Legislature, giving their reasons
for resigning. Conkling is said to re
gard the re-election of himself and
Piatt by the Legislature now in ses
sion, as certain, and will consider this a
vindication of himself in opposing the
administration in the Robertson mat
ter. It is to be hoped, however, that
the Legislature of that State will se
lect a couple of statesmen, of whom
that State can boast of many, to take
the places of Conkling and his puppet.
BAD BOYS. —On Monday evening
last, shortly after dark, a family on
Washington street this place were a
roused by the cries of a robin red
breast. The poor bird had built her
nest on a shade tree near their door—
had laid hereggs—was hatchic.g them,
and was a subject of the tender regard
and care of the family. Two cruel
boys came in the dark, stole upon the
helpless bird, seized her and ran away,
going toward Water street. The cr'es
of the poor robin excited the greatest
sympathy, but the hard-hearted boys
fled with their victim, to make what
use of no one knows. We mention
this piece of cruelty that these boys
may hear of their wicked and unlawful
act, and we hope th<it the law may be
put IU force against them. It is a prop
er case for the action of the Game As

that pulverized soapstone is employed

—DEATH'S DOINUS.—On Tuesday,
the 3rd iDHt., Mrs. Harriet Hewlett, rel
ict of the late Win. Haslett, Esq., de
ceased, departed this life at her resi
dence in this place in th« <!3rd year of
her age. The deceased was a. daughter I
«if John Purviance, Esq., who emigra
ted from Washington county to this
place when it was a very small town.
He died many years ago and left quite
a large family of children, all of whom
have occupied a high rank in society
for their general intelligence and most
excellent social qualities. The death
of Mrs. llaslett is the first that has oc
curred among the children, all having
attained a good age, and been remark
ably exempt from the attucks of disease.
The deceased was one who was justly
esteemed by all her acquaintances. She
was truly a pious and Christian wo- ;
man whose faith in the Lord was not
at any time shaken by the vicissitudes
of life, nor made indifferent by its fri
volities and pleasures. It was steadi
ly fixed on llim who givcth lite and j

—lt is settled that the five per cents
also are to be immediately extended at
:{£ per cent, or paid in August or Sep
tember next. Secretary Windom has
issued a call to that effect in pursuance
of the indications given in his excellent
speech at the banquet of the N. Y.
Chamber of Commerce. He there
showed that nearly all the holders of six
per cents, had gladly embraced the op
portunity to have their bonds extended
per cent,and declared t hat the same
opportunity would now l>e given to the
holders ol the five per cents. The law
requires that three months' notice shall
be fjiven to holders of these bonds, il
the Government intends to redeem
them. But the operation will doubt
less be a mere repetition of the one
which IIJIS just succeeded so brilliantly.
All thecoupon 5 per cent bonds are call
ed for continuance or redemption; and a
call is also made for $25 ',000,000 of
the registered fives to be continued at
|s r cent. We confidently anticipate
a result equally satisfactory with that
which followed the similar experiment
wjth the sixes.

—HORSE THIEVES AT WORK. —The
horse thieves have again begun
plying their vocation in this vicinity.
On Monday night, a fine mare, an open
buggy and good set of harness were
stolen from James Flynn in Union
township, a couple of miles west of the
city. Mr. Flynn discovered his loss
about 6:3 J o'clock on Tuesday morning.
He was able to track the thief in the
direction of New Castle, until coining
' down MeCleary'a hill, on the Youngs-
I town road, when the trail became ob
j scured. Fortunately for the owner,
■ the mare was insured in th<» I'enn'a
Mutual Horse Thief Detecting Agency
land Insurance Co., of York, Fa., and
' will be able to recover at least two-thirds
of the value of the mare. The animal
is a fine dark dapple bay, six years old,
with one white hind foot, and harness
marks about the shoulders. The
buggy w»s a good one, but not new,
and was considerable bespattered with
i mud. The harness had been in use for
time, put were good and strong.
| It is thought that the thieves passed
through the city and on towards Butler

The Sleeping Beauty of the day
is a long, slender German youth, who is '
slumbering at Trcxlertown. Penn , and
has l»een for more than sixty days. j
Various efforts have been made to '
wake him; a revolver has been dis-;
charged close to bis ear; he has been J
subjected to the operation of a galvanic 1
battery; pins and needles have been
pushed into his flesh, and a red hot
iron has been passed up and down his j
spinal column. The mildest of these ;
applications would have induced Dr. I
Watts's sluggard to admit that he had
not be«n called too soon, and that he i
did not wish to slumber again. This i
somnolent paragon takes his victuals
regularly in a soft or liquid form, in j
the shape of boiled eggs and beef tea. j
He is a stranger, and when he walked i
fast asleep into the hotel sixty days ;
ago they thought him to be an impostor, j
especially after he had occupied a bed ,
for several days and nights without {
paying for it So they pulled his arm, '
twisted his ears and twitched his hair, •
but all to no purpose. He was accor
dingly carried still sleeping to the
almshouse, where he at present repos
es and snores. He has been visited
by a great number of doctors, who
have given a great number of opinions, ;
the most satisfactory one being that
there is something wrong in the back
part of the slumberer's bruin. Wheth
er he dreams is what no doctor can
find out. This curious case of life in
death we allude to with some missgiv
ing, for fear that in this lazy world it
may prove epidemic.

eron, and .John A. Logan entered into
a combination two years ago to secure
the nomination of Gen. Grant for a
third Presidential term. Their plan
was to hold conventions at an unusu
ally early day iu New York, Peninyl
vania, and Illinois for the election of
delegates to the Naticnal Convention,
and to pass resolutions instructing each
delegation to support Grant as a unit.
In pursuance of this plot the State
Convention of Pennsylvania met ij
the first week of February; and, by
trampling down the minority, Cameron
carried through his part of the scheme.
The New York State Convention was
held a little la;er iu February. They
had a stormy scene; but by much
cheating, a little persuasion, and the
application of the gag rule at the
opportune moment, a resolution instuct
ing the delegates to Chicago to support
Grant's nomination was adopted though
in the face of a large minority vote.
Thus Conkling had executed his part
of the pla'«, and all seemed to be going
forward toward Grant aiid the empire
with encouraging alacrity. In further
pursuance of the original arrangement,
i Logan got the State Committee of
! Illinois togather for the purpose of
I calling a convention to elect delegates.
} Hut the committee hesitated, quarreled,
i and then adjourned for several weeks.
Just at this crisis Judge Robertson
issued his celebrated letter. He had
I been elected a delegate to Chicago,
j As in the case of all the other delegates
from New York, he was designated
; not bv the State Convention at large,
| but b; the delegates who appeared at
the State Convention from li s own
I Congress district. These latter dele
| gates were hostile to the third term,
! and Robertson was their faithful repre
j sentative. In his letter he declared
1 that in the National Convention he
j should not be governed by tin; resolu
j lions of the State Convention, which
. claimed to instruct him to vote for
! Grant, but should yield to the senti
ment of the majority of the Republi
cans of his Congress district, who were
opposed to the third term.
This letter exploded like a bomb in the
Grant camp. Immediately a strong
body of delegates in New York rallied
to the side of Robertson. The anti-
Grant men iu the Pennsylvania dele
gation, who had been cowering under
I Don Cameron's lash, rose to their feet,
i asserted their indej»endence and adopt
' ed the doctrine of Robertson's letter.
I The Republicans in Illinois who were
opposed to u third term look heart at
these demonstrations, and prepared
for that desperate struggle which resyl
' ted iu wresting from Logan about one
third of iho delegation from his Stat"
to Chicago
It is correct, therefore, for the oppo
nents of Robertson to say that he,
more than any other man, set in mo
tion the ball that finally crushed the
third'term conspiracy at the Chicago
Convention.

—The Massachusetts Legislature
seems never to tire of worrying men
who drink anything stronger than wa
ter. Special enactments on the liquor
question are as numerous up there as
proposed railroads are here, and each
one is more tormenting than its prede
cessor. The latest law suggested is
simply a fiendis 1 conception It forbids
retailers of liquor to use shutters,
screens, shades or anything else that
can hide the business of their establish
ments from officers who may want to
look in. This law, if enforced, would
make it impossible for a man to explain
to his wife or sweetheart that when she
saw him go into a bar-room he was
merely poing to plav billiards or buy a
cigar. It would put an end to Sunday
drinking, even by those who approach
the bar by the innocent-looking family
entrance ; it would also put an end to
the p ofitable trickery by which detect
ives obtain proof of illepal selling*
Against all this nothing can be urged
in fuvor of the bill except that it dis-'
courages the use of liquor by men who
have any sensibilities left. Are thous
ands of dearly beloved lounging places
to be thrown open to the public gaze
merely for the- purpose of saving a few
fellows who have not drowned their
better feelings in rum ? Just let sonic
reformer offer such a bill in the Penn
sylvania legislature, and see what will
become of it.

PITTSBURGH'S GREATEST SI RGEON
WILL VISIT BCTI.KK, PA., AND PIIACTICE AT
THK LOW BY HOUSE POK ONK WEKK I"KOM
MONDAY MORNINO, MAY 23 TO KAT
LBDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1881.
Thin is good news to his numerous patients in
this couiiiy, us well as to the army of afflicted
and crippled sufferers who could not well visit
him in l > ittt<btir^h. Dr. llartman's permanent
office is at .'io7 Peun avenue, which will be left
in charge of one of his uhle a sue tan t surgeon*
during his brief absence, and sojourn with us.
In order to remind our numerous readers of the
doings of Dr. Hartman we will reproduce th«
J following from the Pittsburgh papers:
"Mis operation* for Strabismus (cross eyes)
can lie counted by the hundreds, and every one
successful, and so with other operations. Few
surgeons have as many in a life time, it is
this wholesale surgery and practice that makes
him so pre-eminently successful. The certifi
cates and testimonials that he has the privilege
of publishing of patients treaied here would
fill our paper for a whole week, but hundreds
of them are the snmc as those already publish
ed in these columns.
To convince the render of Dr. Harlnian's
cliim ii|K)ii us when sick, we need only to re
call the names of a few cases well known t<> us
whom he rescued from the very brink of the
grave.
Mrs. Milo Ingram, daughter of Capt. Hugh
MeKelvey, ofthiscitv, had been treated six
years for cancer by the most eminent phvsi
eiaiis and surgeons, no* only of this city, but
New York ami other cities. She liad spent
over one thousand dollars with great medical
experts, and was told that she must die. Her
limbs and body were literally covered with
running sores and halfdetaehed masses of flesh;
nearly blind and deaf and barelv living. Dr.
Hartman was consulted, ai.d declared it was no
cancer, but scrofula, and proved it by curing
her without the knife and without any painful
external applications. Every sore is healed ;
she sees anil hears perfectly, and is now in
every particular the very model of good health.
She now resides at 430 Itebecca street, Alle
gheny City. Go and see her.
Willie Curtis, 17 years of age, now working
in H. K. I'orters A Co.'* Locomotive Works, in
this city, had been afflicted with< hronie Rheu
matism for one year, unable to work, his joints
much enlarged, painful nn.l stiff. The bone*
of one side of tlie face were enormously en
larged, giving him u most hideous u|.|M'ii ranee.
His heart was diseased, with 170 beats in a
minute he was euianciated, pale an I almost dy
ing. Two eminent Pittsburgh physicians as
sured his mother that the end ua - near. Dr.
' Hartman was consulted, and immediately
| place I iind'-r his treatment, and in six weeks
1 lie was well and ever since he has been nt
work. Go and see liiin, call on his mother, on
his employer and on his pastor, and you will,
say the half has not been told.
A NOT II EH.
The Pittsburgh Sundot/ I.rmlrr of October
3rd, tells of a by, the son of Mr. (». W. Logue,
of Kedhnnk, Pa , who had bc< n nttcked, about
a year ago, with a vertical curvature of the
spine, and in spite of the ellorts of several
physicians grew rapidly worse, and was soon
powerless, and unable to walk from paralysis
of his legs. He continued so eight months,
and was considered by till physicians within
tlieir reach a most Impels* cn«e.
Dr. Hartmaii was consulted, who applied an
apparatus to his back, rapidly straighten
ing him. and in exactly eight days he com
menced to walk. It two months since Dr.
Hartman took hold of the case, and in that
time the improvement in the little patient's
condition has been so great that from ndc-form
ed and helpless being he is become a bright
and active child with a shape |**rfeetly natural
ami an cijua! eliuncc of happiness and useful"
■less in alter life with other children.
The happy rustoration of their child to health
is the cause of much joy to the parents, who
arc deeply grately to Dr. Ilurtuiau for his ser
vice.
We think these references to cases, within the
reach of everyone to visit, are sufficient to con
vince all persons afflicted that Dr. Hartmun
stands at the head of his profession.
