Danks, who was colonel of the Sixty-third Penn sylvania Volunteers, will deliver a lec ture, entitled "War, its uature and remedy, or nine days and nights on the Gettysburg battle field," on Monday, May 30tb, at 8 P. M., at the Court House, Butler, Pa. All are invited to come and hear this able, instructive and interesting lecture. Admission, 25 cents. —lt appears that the hangman at the late execution of the Nihilists prim ed himself for his task with liquor—in other words this functionary of tbe gibbet presented himself for his official duties, and performed them, drunk. He was heavily flogged in payment for his official services, but the castigation of the bungling executioner did not add any impressiveness to the remembrance of a spectacle which raised the horror of those who witnessed it. —Judge Robertson was serenaded at Albany last Wednesday evening, and there was rejoicing over what was believed to be the end'of the "boss" rule. Tbe Conkling men at Albany are by no meas confident of their abili ty to re-elect Messrs. Conkling and Piatt. Members of tbe Legislature are beginning to hear from their constitu ents, with the effect of changing their course. It is believed by Administra tion men that Mr. Conkling's defeat is assured. —The "Lincoln Club" of this place must indeed be a hightoned affair, if among its members it numbers two reporters or "paid informers" of the M Her at own Herald, and they must have paid the *ni iation fee of one of the editors of this paper, so that they could boast of bis membership, as we did not, nor have we ever attended a meeting of this club. The club, judg ing from the actions of these two mem bers, would seem to stand in need of a character, and so long as it does, we would suggest tbe propriety of drop ping the name of Lincoln and adopting one more appropriate, "The Sneak Dog Club," for instance SINGULAR ESCAPE. —A young gen tleman four young ladies of this place, when returning from a drive in a two-horse carriage on Sunday evening last, about 9 o'clock, e.nd while coming down the plank road on tbe hill south of town, tbe horses frightened and ran away, throwing the whole company ajrainst the fence of the lot of J. H. Negley, overturninc the carriage, throwing them all out with great force, and yet strange to say none were injur ed. The horses became detached from the carriage and were caught near by. The only damage done was to the car riage. It is regarded as a very singu lar and fortunate escape. —A shrewd observer in Washington discloses a new vista in the great resig nation comedy. This is a plan that Mr. Conkling and Mr. Plutt shall swap terms, "by and with the advice and consent" of tbe Legislature. Mr. Piatt would then take the short term ending in 1885, and Mr. Conkling the long one ending in 1887 Mr. Piatt's re election, or the election of a Republican successor, would then depend upon tbe complexion of tbe Assembly to be cho sen in 1884, tbe Presidential year; but Mr. Conkling's re-election would not. He would be sure of a seat in tbe Sen ate from which he could make war up on the present Administration until it expired, and upon tbe new Administra tion until il was half way through its term. —ln an eastern jonmal we find the following lacid sentences :—"The pol ished culture of the metaphysician, the artistic insight of the poet, perceives the inner truth of things, which the moralists and utilitarians fail to dis cover. Themistakeof sacrificing the aes thetic atmosphere that should surround every woman is a fatal mistake in life. It is a social duty to please, and a woman whose unlovliness antagonizes allVith whom she comes iu contact, not only loses all she might herself win and hold of life's sweetest and most sacred happiness, but she injures all womanhood in her disregard of its fair est requirements." All of which, if it could be translated, would he perfectly correct and lovely ; but it so happens that no woman who writes for the newspapers can cook codfish and superintend the week's washing with out getting her ideas mixed. —Professor Balfour Stewart the English scientist, has recently pointed out what he believes to be one great cause of weather changes. These hot and cold spells he thinks ire trace able to solar variations. It is well known that waves of high and low tem perature are propagated from west to east after they have once been fully de veloped, aud the variations in the diurnal declination of the magnet, con stituting what Professor Stewart calls 'magnetic weather,' are also caused by solar variability, and it is suspected that, like atmospheric weather, the magnetic changes are propagated from west to eabt, though with much greater velocity. 'lt would thus appear to be at least possible,' says this eminent physicist, 'that tb"e roagnetical weather of to-day must be followed by corres ponding meteorological weather five or six days since,'and preliminary inves tigation induces him to think that it may ultimately be possible to forecast i great atmospheric disturbances by > means of magnetic indications five or I six days sliead. C*ti*je« j ilniLett s!*.♦ Blagf 23. 1881. Court Sews. The following cases were tried and settled last week : Gibbs & Sterret Manufacturing Co., vs. S. S. Guthrie, verdict for plaintiff for $255. Motion for a new trial made. Crawford Jones vs, Wm. Leckie, settled. T. Watson vs. E. G Leithold, case withdrawn. J. E. Grossman vs. S. P. Grossman, case settled. Commonwealth of Penna., for use of J. H. Walter, vs. H. I>. Thompson, verdict for plaintiff, for $294.65. .All other cases on the list were con tinued. —Senator Robertson's nomination has been confirmed by the Senate. The overwhelming majority in his favor, notwithstanding the resistance made bv Senators Conkling and Piatt, shows that the President was entirely justifi ed in not asking the permission of those Senators before submitting t»e nomination to the Senate. A large majority ot the Republican Senators sustain the President in this matter. Senator Conkling's insolent pretensions are rebuked most emphatically, both by the Senate and by the Senators of his own party. Xo one has ventured to deny that Senator Robertson is abundantly able and worthy. Only one member of the committee dissented from the report in his favor, and the opposition in the Senate faded away so completely that the friends of Mr Conkling did not venture to expose their weakness by calling the roll. In view of this remarkable unanimity, Re publicans in all parts of the country will ask what possible excuse Senator Conkling could have had for his persist ent, unscrupulous and malignant oppo sition. —lt is certainly rather a remarkable achievement that several hundred thousand copies of the revised New Testament should have been stored in New York for a month without any outsider having been able to get bold of a copy. Now that a sufficiently large edition bas been printed abroad to supply the expected first demand, the seals are broken and the vol umes turned loose upon the American public. In the absence of an international copyright law—which in the interest of the people who read books it is to be hoped we may not have put on us in a hurry—everybody who pleases is at liberty to reprint tbe work or the revisers, and no doubt many persons will avail themselves of the privilege. The result will be that the country will be flooded with cheap editions, and thousands of people will be led by curiosity to read more Scrip ture than they ever read before at any one time in the whole course of their lives. If they would only kepp on at it a great amount of good would doubt less be accomplished. —General Grant has written a let ter to Senator Jones. Had General Grant been in Washington iustead of in the City of Mexico be would proba bly not have chosen to have a letter of the kind promulgated at the present juncture. The fact is that Grant, who was never so much a statesman or a politi cian as a military leader, unwisely wrote this letter, while there was no more serious complications between the Administration and the New York Senators, than that involved in the nomination of Robertson. But Mr. Grant is an adherent of Conkling and, as such, his hour has come. It is only a question of time as to how soon the warmest of Conkling's personal friends shall be sacrificed as a bnrut offering upon the altar of that Senator's private ambition. General Grant's time has come and he is now, by the publication of a private letter, held up to the derision of the world, simply because such publication was deemed to add some real or fancied strength to Conkling's cause. —An English Journal, descanting on the progress of prohibitory liquor legislation in the United States, de clares that the satisfaction with which men regard the progress of the temper ance movement across the Atlantic would be seriously impaired if it were found, as some assert, that opium gains all that alcohol loses. That of course is too sweeping a statement; but it is unfortunately too true that, side by side with the progress of the crusade against drink, the Americans have to show a rapid increaso in the consump tion of opium. The import of opium in 1876 into the United States showed an increase of 70 per cent, over that of 1867; but the import of 1880 was 140 per cent, in excess of that of 1876. Four years ajjo the American opium eaters were believed to number 200,000, but since then teir numbers have doubled, and it is now calculated that the) consunfe five million grains per annum West of the Mississippi the Chinese have almost a monopoly of th'e drug, but in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky there are said to be three opium eaters to every 100 of population. Physicians, druggists and traders all report that the use of opium is alarmingly on the increase, and they attribute it chiefly not to the disuse of intoxicants but to the increased use of the hypodermic syringe for injections of morphia. It is noteworthy tbat women are said to supply four-fifths of the victims of opium. —The two-thirds vote necessary for the suspension of the rules of the House of Representatives, as well as the con stitutional provision that a majority of the members elected to each House shall be required to pass any bill, are doubtless wise restrictions upon the action of the Legislature and necessary to the protection of the rights of mi norities; but they are restrictions, nev ertheless, which sometimes grievously thwart the progress of righteous legisla tion. It is more than probable that the Delinquent Tax bill, the Record er's bill and more important legislation, with reference to pipe lines and tele graph companies may be defeated through a resolution of one-third af the j members of the Legislature to obstuct 1 progress by insisting upon the main tenance of the rules, or by the more • cowardly process of absenting them ; selves at the decisive moment when the yeas and nays are called. There . is no complete remedy in the hands of i the people for tbiH disregard of the popular will short of the day when new representatives are to be chosen. , The Ilecordership. with its unnecessary advertising patronage, may continue a year or two longer. The tax business will be turned over to the reforming hand of Mr. Hunter. The people of the State will get alone next year, as they have for seven years past, with a fair writ Constitution, wbicb has been ap proved by a convention and by ballot, but wbich has been suspended during the good pleasure of succeeding Legis latures sworn to execute it, but neglect ing to keep good their oaths.— Phila. Record. —THE GIRAFFE PHILOSOPHIZES— Having withdrawn Irom the Show, the Giraffe and the Trick Mule retired ! a Short Distance, where they Waited either to be Sent For or to see the Show 1 Break Up. To While away the Time • thev sang with Deep Feeling, 'Do j they miss Me at Home?'—The Pole I Cat playing tbe Organ, and Each of j tbe others playing the Lyre. A Sud den Burst of Merriment lrom the De serted Show interrupted the Harmony, i 'Hark!' said the Giraffe. 'What means this Unseemly Mirth at a Time when Absolute and Irremediable Ruin threatens the Entire Circus?' I tLink,' said the Trick Mule, with that Solemn Air of Resignation which was all that Saved him from Being Ridiculous— 'l think some of your Most Intimate Friends in the Circus arc doing a Little Ground and Lofty Tumbling for the Amusement of the General Public." Just then came a Shout, 'Three Cheers for Robertson!' and immediate ly afterward, 'three cheers for Garfield!' and Great Demonstrations of Applause followed. The Trick Mule Burst into Tears, remarking, 'Who will Care for Mother Now?' and the Pole Cat Broke Out in a Per.-piration, the effects of which were Felt at the Distance of a Mile. But tbe Giraffe, Pulling Him self Together with a Great Effort and Manifest Emotion, Said Huskily, as he Swung his Head like a Large Tack Hammer: 'The Shallows Murmur when the Deeps are Dumb ' At which Philosophic Remark the Pole Cat observed to the Trick Mule, 'See how Quick he is! My! What a Head he bas got!' But they All Seemed more i Thoughtful afterward. Moral.—The Most Fun is Inside the Circus. —Mr. Bright, in his discussion of the land bill now before the English House of Commons, made a special plea in defence of the emigration claus es. Mr. Bright, according to the tele graphic dispatch, said that if a great fleet assembled at Cork or Gal way of fering a free passage to the whole pop ulation of Ireland it was probable that all—certainly that half—would find their way to the United States, which opened the door to everybody. Mr. Bright further observed that he would be sorry to see Irishmen go, but while emigration would be a hardship to par ents it would be a deliverance to the children from poverty and suffering. So far as America is concerned we have no objection to any policy of emigra tion. Every honest, able-bodied hu man being who comes to America is a material mathematical addition to the wealth, strength and moral influence of the country. We think it a confess ion of extreme weakness on the part of a great government like England that the only way to solve a question of so cial economy is to banish the people from the land of their birth, from the home of their ancestors The sentiment of affection for one's own home, for the soil on which he was borne, is the strongest in human nature. It is among the most beautiful and commendable of our feelings. From it springs patriot ism, loyalty, fidelity to church and home. The Irishman is especially noted for his clinging attachment to the soil, to his country, which is among the most beautiful islands of the earth. It cannot be that a race of men who have made iheir ;oark in every other part of the world should be incapable of governing Ireland so as to make it in moral, material and commercial pros perity equal to England or Scotland.

The above goods run in all the new shades and are a decided bargain, at BITTER & RALSTON'S — THE Atlantic Monthly for June has several features which will commend it to a host of readers. Besides liberal installments of the serial stories by Miss Phelps and Henry James, Jr., there are two admirable articles for the season, —"'A Taste of Maine Birch," a thor oughly characteristic out-door essay, by John Burroughs, and "A Spring Opening," a charm ingly descriptivs article, by Edith Thomas. A paper which deserves the attention of everyone interested is social science is "An Indoor l'au per," a careful statement of facts gathered from repoits of a large number of the States, by Oc tave Thanet. H. 11., in a paper entitled "Ber gen Days," contributes a very interesting ac count of Norwegian life and character. John C. Ropes, who is peculiarly qualified to write upon military subjects, in a paper entitled 'Who Lost Waterloo?" describes the various mana>u vres and movements of that fateful dav with a clearness and precision which must be in the highest degree attractive to all persons who take an interest in military matters, as well as to all who have a particular interest in that world-changing battle. "Over on the T'other Mounting, by Charles Egbert Craddock, is an exceedingly engaging story of Southern life and scenery. Richard Grant White this time writes in his usual charming style of "French Tragedy." The reviews of uew books are un usually varied and interesting this month; there is a diversity of readable brief essays in the Contributors' Club ; and the number concludes with a beautiful, touching poem in memory of Mr. Fields. The second number of the Atlantic uuder Mr. Aldrich's editorship, does great cred it to his care and judgment.
