HOLIDAYS IN LONDON AND
PARIS AND THE DIFFER
ENCE BETWEEN THEM.
[Nasby in Toledo Blade.]
The difference between the English
and French is admirably illustrated by
two events of a somewhat similar na
ture. It was our fortune to be in Lon
don on the occasion of the celebration
of the Queen's birthday, a time that is
always made a general holiday by all
classes. Business was suspended, and
every one gave himself up to pleasure
—the kind of amusement that the Lon
doner considers pleasure. The bands
were out, the military paraded and all
the parks were filled with people in
holiday attire.
As the afternoon wore on it became
apparent that there was some agency
at work aside from devotion to Royal
ty. There was a boisterousness that
savored of strong beer and stronger gin
The crowd of men and women who
thronged the Strand and Regent street,
and Picadilly, laughed and shouted,
not with the merry ring of pure pleas
are, but with the maudlin utterances
of semi-drunkenness.
In the evening there was a grand il
lumination of .the Government build
ings, the clubs and the prominent busi
ness bouses. The streets were throng
ed with people, men, women and chil
dren, all eUKUving their way along, ea
ger to Bee aft that was to be seen, and
willing to give no one an opportunity
they themselves could not enjoy. It
was a motley crowd, composed of all
classes. The well-dressed shopman
was by a rag picker-and lagged;
l(8j»efe« girts, arm in aim, shored
aside the elderly matron, whp had
cdtae oiit with' her chiMren to"see* tbe'
illuminations. There were all classes
and, conditions of people, and they rav
ed and tore about more like escaped
lunatics thpn ; fhe staid, sober Britons
they pride themselves upon being.
A walk "down to Pall Mat! was al
most Worth one's life. On this thor
oughfare are located the principal clubs
of London, and as they are rather bril
liantly lighted with gas jeta arranged
in fanciful designs, the crowd flocked
there to see them. Tho street was act
ually packed from curb to curb, so that
locomotion was difficult. The illumin
ations were not on a scale grand enough
to merit all this outpouring of people,
this great hubbub, this drunkenness
and gin incited hilarity. For the most
j>art the designs were simply the Eng
lish coat of arms, with the letters "Y.
H." on each side, "the whole being done
in plain gas jets. Occasionally some
thriving shop-keeper, who had made a
little somethiog from tbe Royal family
«r«uld branch Out a little more -eiten
siVefyj and use tiny glass shades of
different colors, over his gas. But it was
dreary beyond measure. The streets
dark and gloomy, the air was close,
and tbe so-called illuminations were so
very, very meager that they made the
general «fket only more dismal.
JL t ' Me iM "f
DRUNKENNESS feVERYWHERB> 3
Yet the people surged up and down
the streets, hurrahing and shouting for
the Queen, for the Prince of Wales, for
the family, for themselves, for
anybody they could think of. The
public houses were open long after
other places of business were closed,
and there was a constant stream of
thirsty people gliding from behind the
haft-closed doors out upon the street to
nntil another dram became neces
sary. The customers were not limited
to tho sterner sex by any manner of
means. There were crowds of young
girls ranging from 14 to 20, poor work
ing girls, who had saved all of their
scant earnings they could in anticipa
tion of this holiday, who boldly pushed
their way with a coarse laugh, through
tbe crowd of men and, standing at the
bar, would call for and drink their bit
ter beef, or ale, or stout, or gin, even,
with all tbe effrontery of an old toper.
And old women there were too, who
woald quietly glide loathe compart
ments marked "privtrfe bar," and there
drink their brandy or Irish whisky.
Throughout ic all there seemed to be a
dogged determination to become intox
icated, jast as though there could be no
pleasnta, tbe Queen's birthday could
not be celebrated properly unless every
one filled himself up with ardent spir
its.
As it grew later, the crowds increas
ed both in size and disorder. Notwith
standing the fact that most of the illu
minations had been extinguished, the
masses had bad a taste, and they want
ed more. They became momentarily
ruder and more boisterous. As the
time approached for the closing of the
publics the crowd receiyed fresh instal
ments of the worst class of women, and
then drunken women tried to do yrorse
than the drunken men, and they suc
ceeded. A woman thoroughly under
the influence of liquor is sooieting sim
ply terrible to see, and here we saw it.
On that night the air rang with their
ribald jokes and coarse songs, as they
jostled each other in their unsteady
walk.
This, it must be remembered, is not
a scene that occurred down in Cheap
side, or in the Seven Dials, or the
streets down near the riyer. N° in
deed. Pall Mall, one of the most aris
tocratic streets in London, Regent
street, the Broadway of London, Pica
dilly, the Haymarket, these were the
scenes of their frightful display, and
evidently nothing was thought of it.
The police made no arrests, aad did
not even know that there was anything
occurring that was not perfectly allow
able and justifiable. So de
baitch went 1 on all night, and '"it was
not until the gray light mado its ap
pearance in the east U|*t
ed down and the streets no longer
echoed with the maudlin cries of the
host of people who celebrated in their
own peculiar ftyle the anniversary of
tboir Queen's birthday.
THE FETE Of TS» BA9TIM.E. ®
H6w entirely different was the grand
National fete of France on the 14th of
Jnly." This too is made a day for gen
eral rejoicing and merry-making, and
the French people get out of it all that
is to be had. For days before active
preparations for the event are made,
flags and streamers of the colored bunt
ing are put up all over tne city, elabo
rate designs in gas jets are prepared;
founains erected; electric lights put
up ; in a word, everything is clone that
can in the slightest way add to the
brilliancy of the beautiful City, whose
white buildings make it bright and
cbeerful at all times.
On the night of the 13th, it was ap
parent that something was abont to oc
cur, for the streets, the broad, brilliant
ly lighted boulevards, were crowded
with people, all of them full of life and
animation. The great stores with their
glass fronts were literally ablaze with
lights ; the gaily decorated cafes with
their inviting tables on the broad side
walks were filled with people sipping
wino, or coffee, and discussing with all
the animation and vivacity that a
Frenchman only possesses, the attrac
tions of the morrow. AH along the
principal boulevards electric lights
were suspended high in the air, while
in the Place Concorde, and out the
Champs Elysees were thousands of
brilliant clusters of gas jets, making
the night seem day. The crowds
swayed hither and thither with one
impulse, to see everything, yet there
was no departure from decorum.
Evervbodv was happy. But it was
the happiness that comes of a sense of
pleasure, from bright and beautiful
surroundings, and the knowledge that
every one else is happy. There is no
sign of drunkenness. There was no
rowdyism. There was nothing sug
gestive even of offeosiveness. Every
body was gay and merry. There were
songs and hearty peals of laughter,
but it was pure and wholesome, some
thing that one could participate in with
all his heart.
The morning of the 14th dawned
with a bright, clear sky, and the sun
came up with a serenity that augured
well for the fete. During the night,
while, all Paris slept, busy workmen
put the finishing touches on the decora
tions, and when, all business suspend
ed, Paris turned out to see itself, there
was a general murmur of approval at
the beautiful sights displayed every
where. The houses along the streets
were almost hidden by flags and ban
ners and streamers; the statues were
decorated ; high staffs that were not
visible the day before now floated long
streamers ; the parks and gardens were
in holiday attire. Paris was arrayed
in gorgeous dress, and every one went
in for a day of rare pleasure.
At all the theaters, including the
Grand Opera, free performances were
given during tbe afternoon, aud there
were all sorts of entertainments provid
ed by the Government for the amuse
ment of the populace. In various
quarters of the city platforms were
erected, and all during that warm after
noon tbe working classes danced to the
music of superb orchestras which were
furnished to them without money and
without cost.
But when evening came the fete was
seen to its best advantage. As it
grew dark the whole city blazed with
light. There were millions of lanterns,
of every possible color, banging from
every point that could hold a support.
Electric lights flashed from every
corner, and gas jets blazed everywhere.
The Boulevard des Italiens, from the
Mhdelaine to the BaStile, was as light
as though a noondav sun were pouring
down upon it. And so with the other
large thoroughfares, while the different
quarters had illuminations of their
own, each of which was wonderfully
brilliant.
The one particular place that eclips
ed all others was the two mile stretch
from the Tuileries to the Arcli of
Triumph, and then on to the Bois de
Boulogna. The straight promenade
through the Tuileries garden was lined
on cither side with a high trestle
work, literally covered with fanciful
designs wrought iu gas, while high
arches of brilliant flame intersected it
at regular iutervals.
The Place de Concorde was a marvel
of beauty. All around the '"mmense
square wer® hung festoons of gas jets,
while all the statues of tbe different
cities of France that ornament each
coraer, were thrown into bold relief by
brilliant lights on the limpid water of
the fountain in the center; different
colored lights were thrown during the
evening, the effect being wondously
beautiful
Stanaing in the center of the Place,
and looking towards the arch the sight
was simply marvelous. Nowhere in
the world but in Paris could such a
thing be seen. The broad avenue,
Champs Elysees, rifling with a gentle
slope, was lined its whole distance on
both sides with a stream of light, that
dropped gracefully from cluster to
cluster, all the way out, as far as the
eye could reach. Then the concert
cafes which abound on either side,
made unusual displays, swinging lines
of light from tree to tree and cafe to
cafe, till the eflect was dazzling and
one really had to stop to realized that
he was here on earth and not in some
fairy land.
The Bois de Boulogne, always beau
tiful, with its charming lakes, long
winding drives, its parks, tiny brooks
and picturesque cafe, was unusually
brilliant that night. One the shores
of the lake large set pieces of fire works
were displayed, while bands of music
in odd looking gondolas blazing with
colored fires, furnished exquisite music.
The paths and carriage-ways were lined
with small set pieces' which together
with the constantly burning colored
fires produced an effect that was grand
ly weird
All Paris was one blaze of light.
And all night long the people of Paris
and all France were on the streets en
joying the rare sight. After 9 o'clock
carriages were compelled to keep off
the principal boulevards and streets,
so densely were tbey packed with peo
ple. The Champs Elysees from 10
o'clock was one surging mass of people
—men, women and children—return
ing from the Bois. From curb to curb
was one solid mass of humanity, and
such a jolly good-natured crowd was
never seen before. They sang patri
otic songs, and laughed and joked, and
bad a good time generally. Now and
then there would come down the
street a small procession of students,
wearing grotesque caps, each student
bearing a Chinese lantern. They sang
funny songs, and chaffed those that
passed. But there was not a single
BUTLER, PA., WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14.1881
display of temper Everybody took
everything in good part, and everyone
was superlatively happy.
During all that long day and still
longer night, not a single case of drunk
enness did I see, aud during that time
I was iu a great many different places,
and would have seen il bad there been
any. There was fun and irolic on every
side. But it was the overflow of exu
berant spirits, and not the outgrowth
of too much wine and beer and liquor.
In no city in England, nor, I am afraid,
in America, could there be so gigantic
a celebration, so much fun and hilarity,
with so little drunkennness and so few
disturbances. Verily, the French, in
sincere and superficial as they are, know
how to get the most enjoyment out of
life. They have all the fun the Anglo-
Saxon has, without the subsequent
borror.
A CLEAN SWEEP.
A Whole Family of Daughters to be
Married at Once.
The St. Louis Republican, in a re
cent issue, says: Marriage licenses
were granted yesterday to the follow
ing parties: Frederick Walter, jr., aud
Emma Bang; William Wetzler and
Theresa Bang; Dr. William F. Her
man Johanna Bang. At the issuing of
the license a most unusual scene was
presented in the recorder's office—the
father of three young ladies appearing
with his three prospective sons-in-law
aud consenting to give one of his
daughters to each of them. They all
seemed in the best of spirits, and the
occasion was enlivened by mirth and
witticisms all around. The circum
stances of the case are quite interest
ing, and not a little romatic. Dr.
Charles Bang, who has for many years
kept a drug srore on the corner of Fif
teenth street and Franklin avenue, is
the father of three beautiful daughters,
the eldest about twenty-two years of
age, and the youngest a little uuder
eighteen. A short time ago all three
of them became engaged during the
same week, and it was concluded to
have the three marriages to take place
at the same time. All are highly ed
ucated and accomplished, and all of
them belong to the Liederkranz, of
which their father was once president.
It was natural, therefore, that an in
vitation should be given aud accepted
that the marriage should take place at
the uew Liederkranz hall on Chouteau
avenue. Tbey are appointed to take
place there on the sixth of September,
and the ceremony will be performed
by the Rev. John F.'Jones, pastor of
the Independent Evangelical Protest
ant church, corner of Thirteenth and
Webster streets, provided he returns
from Europe in time, as is expected,
he being now on the way. The young
meo are in every way worthy the
fortunate matrimonial prizes they have
drawn. Mr. Frederick Walter, jr., is
of the firm of Walter & Son, candy
manufacturers; Mr. William Wetzler
is teller of the Fourth National bank,
and Dr. William F. Herman is a
young dentist of this city.
The father having to be present to
give his consent in the case of a minor
daughter, it was not necessary for
either of the others to be present, as
he could represent them all. When he
was called upon to sign the affidavit
for the second he exclaimed: 'What!
must I sign again?' 'Certainly,'replied
the clerk, 'this isn't a job lot; you
have got to sign for each one.' Wden
the applications were all made out,
the clerk said to Dr. Bang: 'You
ought to feel happy to get so many
daughters off your hands at once.'
The doctor replied: 'They took all I
had; that breaks up the family.' 'Yes,'
said Mr. Wetzler, 'that was a regular
wholesale business ; we made a clean
sweep.' When the clerk was asking
for the names that went together in
the licenses, Dr. Herman exclaimed:
'Don't you make any mistake, now,
and give me the wrong girl; I want
the one that belongs to me.' When
everything was concluded, except pay
ing the fees, Dr. Bang said; 'The next
thing is ' 'The next thing is,' in
terrupted Mr. Wetzler. 'is to go out
and get some beer.' But the licenses
are not paid for vet.' 'No matter, we
can Day for them in the morning when
we get them.' The party then filed
out gleefully and no doubt had tbo
beer. The triple marriage recalls an
anecdote related of an eccentric minis
ter a number of years ago, who was
called upon to marry three couples at
once. The parties were standing
around promiscuously, waiting for the
arrival of the minister, and when he
came in he marched up to them, ex-
claiming : 'Sort yourselves !'
THE HEAR T OF ASIA.
At a recent meeting of the Russian
Geographical Society, M. Severtzov
gave an account of the Pamir Moun
tains, which he had lately visited.
Many of the facts are novel. The
Pamir is not a table land, and it has
no steppe region up to a height of 12,-
000 feet. Like the Tien-Shan and
Thibet, the Pamir has narrow valleys
along the rivers up to a height of 14,-
000 feet, and the mountains rise in
lofty ridges above the valleys in some
instances to an absolute height of 20,-
000 feet. The mountain ranges run in
the direction of the meridian, and sel
dom strike out at right angles. The
explorer discovered evidence that the
range of of the Inner Pamir has risen
600 feet in the course of the last 12,000
years, and that the process of elevation
is still going on.

JUDGE AG NEW UPON THE
PROHIBITORY LAW.
Some Reminiscences—Two Hundred
Years of License Proves
its Failure.
[From Pittsburgh Dispatch, Sept. 7.]
The convention which met at Johns
town a few weeks ago with the intent
of organizing a party pledged to the
securement of a law prohibiting the
sale of ardeut spirits in this Common
wealth, in making their adjournment,
named Pittsburg and the Third Pres
byterian Church as the place of their
meeting.
A JURIST'S IDEAS.
At the Pittsburgh meeting, Sept. 6,
1881, the Hon. J. K. Moorhead presid
ed, and introduced Hon. Daniel Aguew,
of Beaver, whose theme as announced
was "Constitutional Prohibition." He
commenced by saying: lam happy
to stand here before you to-night as the
advocate of a cause wh'ch concerns
every living inan. It was here in Al
legheny county that I received my early
training. Who that knew W. W. Bald
win, Elisha Swift, Bruce, Hopkins, can
ever forget them ? You may, but I
cannot I may not be accented as a
temperance man, as such are classified,
but my interests aud influence have
ever been upon the side of sobriety and
good order, not only as a citizen but as
a judge. By slow degrees the subject
of temperance has become a subject of
public thought. At first it was thought
it would be a topic of interest to the
churches only.
EARLY COMPANIONS.
Ah! 1 remember young men who
were my friends. . Some of these came
to fill an important station in civil life;
where are they now ? Alas, could I
stop to gather up their wrecks along
the shores of time, their lives would
tell a tale whose every item would be
a perpetual remonstrance against tbe
glass. Oh ! could I gather into a sin
gle picture tbe scenes I have seen in
12 years of Quarter Sessions practice
it would revolt you. Bleared eyes,
wretched condition. I cau ouly say
that four-fifths of the cases coming into
a Criminal Court are from liquor. I
have seen the sad heart of the victim
brought into court to show the mur
derous blows of the drunken assassin.
I am not alone in my view of this traf
fic. Within a few weeks I have seen
an opinion by Judge Johnsohn, of
Warren county, one of the oldest mem
bers of tbe Bench in this Common
wealth. He says that eight-teoths of
the litigation coming before him is the
direct outcome and offspring of drink.
Men of Pennsylvania, look upon this
scene of ruin ; this crime which de
spoils your labors, and tell me, is there
no opportunity forJegislation ? Is there
no opportunity for reform ? You have
made no complaint against the taxes
arising from the riots, but you will
stand this ten-fold burden without fur
ther effort or complaint ? Surely you
have not looked this great public curse
in the face. Certainly you do not un
derstand that the greatest burden upon
your thrift and industry are the victims
and profiters by the license system.
MODERATE DRINKERS.
Marked examples of human weak
ness are the moderate drinkers and tte
temporizing politicians. Lowest of all
God's creatures are those who would
reap a profit, personal or political,
from such a system.
License has always drawn to its
support the persons who rely upon
avarice or appetite. Who are they
who would continue the license sys
tem ? For 200 years it has been tried
in this Commonwealth; or, from 1682.
When I came on the bench in 1852 as
the President Judge of four populous
counties, and when I granted but four
licenses out of 15 applications, I heard
myself characterized that night as a
"G d temperance fanatic."
What are your daily papers now
but records of the results of debauchery,
infamy and disgrace, resulting from the
intoxicating drink trade as legalized
by the State. All prohibitory laws in
this Commonwealth have been
strangled in their incipiency by the in
fluence of the liquor trade- No op
portunity has been ever afforded to try
the efficiency of restraining legislation.
TIIE QUIET DRINKER.
We are asked to believe that the
man who keeps his jug in private, and
who avoids the public eye, is the equal,
if not the superior, of he who stands
erectly in the path of sobriety and in
dustry. Again it is said, even in re
spectable quarters, that prohibition has
proved a failure.
You of Allegheny county have had
a warning against this kind of thing.
Your riots were their consequent re
sults, arising largely from drink.
Good men of Pittsburgh, you have
had a warning against such an argu
ment. You remember the riots of
July, 1877. You have paid dearly for
them. Did you escape the declared
law iu the end ? I thought the new
constitution had put an end to that
law. With great respect to the high
tribunal which declared otherwise, I
think so still. Is Government, then,
so weak it cannot enforce its laws,
even when opposed by a great city ?
I have yet to learn that peace, good
order and sobriety are things to be
avoided. I have been asked to discuss
the constitutionality of a prohibitory
law. There is no such question. But,
ah! the cry comes up that it is a
sumptuary law. A sumptuary law is
a foolish attempt to regulate an inno
cent matter by legal enactment. Did
you ever hear it said that the suppres
sion of a gambling hell was the enforce
ment of a sumptuary law, or do you
believe that there is any just compari
son between the Lwo trades ? License
has had two hundred years of trial;
now why shall we not give prohibition
at least a fair trial ? The true policy
of the temperance movement is to make
itself felt by the two parties. Make
their speak out
In conclusion, allow me to invoke
the aid of all who hear me. This sub
ject is worthy of the attention of all
who love their fellows and their kind
How often is the gilded home of luxu
ry and the lowly cottage of penury
made sorrowful and despondent by
this demon of strong drink ! Is mercy
dethroned ? God grant that all men
shall come to a realization of their
duty in this matter.
WASHING TON COUNTY, PENN
SYLVANIA.
The Religious History of the People.
Tbe religious history of Washington
county, Pa., is one of the most interest
ing features brought out by the recent
centennial celebration of the erection
ot that county. We copy from the
proceedings as follows: "The Pres
byterians from the north of Ireland
being the earliest immigrants were tbe
first to obtain a foothold. Rev. John
McMillan, D I) , was the first pioneer
minister, and has been styled the fath
er of PresbvtCTianism in Western Penn
sylvania. He began his mission in
1775 at Pigeon Creek, and the centen
nial anniversaries of the Cross Creek
and Upper Buffalo and the Pigeon
Creek Presbyteries, celebrated respec
tively in 1877 and 1879, attracting
general attention throughout the Pres
byterian world. Other Protestant de
nominations followed in the course of
time, but it was not until 1844 that a
Catholic church existed within the
confines of Washington county. This
was built in the town of Washington,
is still standing, and owes its existence
mainly to the zeal of Rev Father Gal
lagher and Ephriam L. Blaine, Esq.,
father of James G. Blaine, who was a
consistent Catholic. Washington coun
ty was the birthplace of three religious
sects, two of which have a national
fame—one lately having recognized
Brigham Young as its head and the
other to-day counting President Gar
field among its communicants. These
are the Mormons, the Disciples or
Campbellites and the Rhodianites.
The institution of Mormonism is sup
posed to have come about in this way:
bolomon Spaulding, a graduate of
Dartmouth Col'ege, and a sort of anti
quarian, in his early life a minister of
the Gospel, and afterwards a tavern
keeper at Amity, Pa., to occupy his
leisure hours about the year 1812,
wrote a romance called "The Manu
script Found," based on discoveries in
the Indian mounds, and inferences
drawn therefrom as to the origin of
the aborigines. The manuscript of
this work of fiction afterwards fell into
the hands oi a printer named Sidney
Rigdon, employed by a Mr. Patterson,
at Pittsburgh, who copied it 'and re
turned it to its author. The copy
taken by Rigdon is supposed to be the
"Book of Mormon," or Mormon Bible,
afterwards claimed to have been found
by Joseph Smith, Jr. (the founder of
the Mormon sect) while digging for
gold and promulgated as the inspired
word of God. The almost incon
trovertible evidence of many witnesses
exist as to the indentity of the "Manu
script Foun<*" and the Book of Mor
mon, Spaulding died in Amity Amwell
township, Washington county, in 1816,
and was there buried- A rude stone
slab, or "headstone," marks his grave
to this day, bearing the following in
scription :
In memory of
Solomon Spauldinsr,
who departed this life
October 20th, A. D. 1816,
aged 55 years.
Kind cherubs guard the sleeping clay,
Until the great decision day.
And saints complete in glorv rise
To share the triumph ol the skies.
This simple memento has from time
to time been defaced by the relic-hun
ters and it has been proposed, by per
sons who appreciate talent, to erect a
more imposing and enduring monument
over the grave of one who unwittingly
gave rise to one of the most notorious
heresies of modern times.
The Protestant denomination known
as the disciples of Christ, or the Camp
bellites, had its origin in Washington
county in the beginning of the present
century. Alexander Campbell has gen
erally obtained the credit of founding
this branch of the Christian church, in
addition to being the ablest exponent
of its doctrine, but the light of history
seems to show that his father, Thomas
Campbell, who came to the United
States from Scotland in 1807 and was
received by tbe Presbytery of Chartiers,
laid the foundation for the present or
ganization and outlined its profession
of faith. The Campbells held the Holy
Scriptures were the embodiment of
Christian doctrine and denounced all
creeds, confessions and catechisms in
use among Christian denominations.
The cardinal doctrine ot the new sect
was baptism by immersion and the ad
ministration of tbe holy communion to
the brethren every Lord's day. This
belief formally promulgated in 1811
was religiously expounded by tbe
Campbells, and from two small congre
gations in Washington county it has
spread uutil it numbers half a million
followers, embracing inhabitants in
every State of the Union. The younger
Campbell .vas widely recognized as a
man of exceptionable force and theolog
ical learning.
About the time Campbellism obtain
ed its foothold in Washington county,
Rhoda Fordice, an old lady living in
Finley township, conceived the idea of
staiting a religious sect to be called
the Rhodianites. This woman had
previously been a follower of one Ser
geant who professed to have a revela
tion from heaven, taught the doctrine
that there was no hell and tried to or
ganize a society under the name of the
Halcyon Union. Upon the wreck of
Sergeant's project Rheda tried to or
ganize a new society. While ignoring
hell, she believed in heaven, and held
that it was possible for her followers
to live on parched corn, sassafras Duds,
herbs and such light diet for a time
and then be translated bodily to heav
en. Among her credulous dupes was
a man named Parker, who starved to !
death upon this kind of food while :
waiting for translation. She kept the !
body concealed in her house for three j
days, at the end of which time the i
neighbors came in a body, took it by
force and gave it burial. Another j
".cranky" notion of this sect was in re-1
gatd to forming a chain, of which a
man and woman were to constitute a
link Tbe idea was that the male and
female were to be sewed up in separate
sacks, with their arms and feet tied and
their headct free, and then put to bed
together. In the morning, if the old j
ladv was satisfied they had slept inno
cently, they were added to the Rhodi
anite Chain. These doctrines were tro
ascetic as well as absurd for the multi
tude, and Bhoda made but little pro
gress in her lifetime and was soon de
serted in death.
THE PRESIDENT.
The Journey from Washington to
Long Branch.
LONG BRANCH, September 6. —The
Presidential train arrived at Elberon
at 1:10 p. m., and reached the cottage
ten minutes later. There were about
20,000 persons in the vicinity of the
Presidential quarters and every one
expresses a feeling of gratification that
he stood the trip so well
Shortly before noon about 2,500 per
sons gathered about Franckljn cottage
anxious to witness the arrival of Presi
dent Garfield. Guards kept the throng
back and, although a rush was made
when the train arrived, no difficulty
was experienced in preventing too near
an approach of people. No excitement
prevailed, only natural curiosity. Just
before reaching the cottage, at 1:15 a.
m., the train was brought to a stand
still and the first car, used by the at
tending physicians, and the baggage
were detached and pushed by hand
around tie sharp curve making a semi
circle about the President's cottage.
Following this the preceeding car in
which the patient was lying was gent
ly pushed slowly over the same course
until it reached the entrance of the cot
tage, at which point it was stopped
and a large awning was thrown around
the portico, so that the sun could not
fall upon the patient and as he could
not be observed by the anxious watch
ers. The removal from the car into
the room prepared for the reception of
the President was accomplished with
out exciting him in any manner what
ever, and while he was apparently a
little tatigued he did not complain and
seemed to be perfectly calm and well
satisfied.
Private Secretary Brown makes in
substance the following statement of
the trip from Washington to Elberon :
Upon leaving the Executive Mansion
the President appeared to enjov the
scenery and looked around inquiringly.
He noticed several of the employes
standing in front of the Mansion and
waved his hand to them at the same
time smiling as if it were very gratify
ing to him to leave the scene of his
long illness. All the way to the depot
the President was very anxious to ob
serve everything, and this he was not
prevented doing. Upon arriving at
Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue
the patient was removed from the ex
press wagon and placed upon a snring
mattress which had been prepared for
his reception. The President experi
enced little or no disturbance in being
transferred from the vehicle to the car,
and his pulse, although slightly accele
rated, reaching about 115, fell to about
106 before the train started, and short
ly after it fell to 104 and agaiu to 102.
The first stop of the train was at Pa
tapsco, at which point the parotid
gland was dressed. The passengers
on the special train besides the Presi
dent were Mrs. Garfield and Miss Mol
lie Garfield, C. O. Rockwell, the Presi
dent's brother-in-law, Colonel A. F.
Rockwell, wife and daughter, General
D- M Swaim, J. Stanley Brown, Colo
nel H. C. Corbin and Warren S. Young,
assistant to Private Secretary Brown.
The surgeons in charge were, namely,
D. W. Bliss, J. K. Barnes, J. J. Wood
ward, Robert Reyburn and D. 11. Ag
new, Messrs. Drs. S. A. Boynton and
Edson.
Beef extract was administered at 10
a. in. A stop of four minutes occurred
at Lamakin for coal. The only other
time coal was taken in on the trip was
at 10:30, at a stop of five minutes,
which was made at Gray's Ferry for
water between Philadelphia and Mon
mouth Junction. The special train
made several miles at the rate of seven
ty miles an hour. Bay View was
reached at 8:05 and a brief stop was
made to enable the surgeons to make
the morning dressing of the wound. It
was found to have suffered no derange
ment by the travel. The dressing was
soon accomplished and the train after
leaving Bay View was run at the rate
of about fifty miles an hour. The track
in this locality is very straight and in
good condition, and though the speed
was at times greater than fifty miles
an hour, the vibration of the President's
bed was no more than it would have
been had the train been moving at but
twenty-five an hour The attend
ing surgeons feel very much gratified
with the manner in which the removal
was conducted, and are generally of
the opinion that with the exception of
being slightly fatigued the President
bore the journey exceedingly well.
The practice of issuing bulletins
three times per day will be continued.
There will be no distribution of
bulletins, excepting at Private Secre
tary Brown's office where anyone who
calls will be served with copies. As
an appreciation of Mr. Ely's services
Private Secretary Brown has invited
that gentleman to be his guest at his
cottage during his stay at Long
Branch.
WASHINGTON, September 6.—Secre
tary Blaine and wife, Secretary Hunt
and wife, Secretarys Lincoln, Windom,
Kirk wood, and Postmaster General
James left on the 10:30 train for Long
Branch.
LONG BRANCH, September 6.—Dr.
Hamilton, one of the consulting sur
geons, arrived at Long Branch this A.
M. In a conversation on the train the
doctor expressed the opinion that the
President's removal from the malari
ous atmosphere of Washington would
soon prove beneficial. He did not
attribute so much importance to the
sea air, as to the general change of
scenery, etc. He thought the fact that
the President's desire to leave Wash
ington had been granted would have a
good moral effect upon him, and he
would commence to mend almost im
mediately upon his arrival.
When asked how long he expected
the President would remain at Long
Branch. Dr. Hamilton said be could
not venture an opinion ; in fact, he did
not at this time desire to enter into

TLe train which arrived ?.t Long
Branch at 9:30 conveyed a squad of
regular troops from Battery A, First
Artillery, from Governor's Island; un
der command of Capt. J. M. Ingalls.
The squad numbered thirty, inclusive
of officers of the troops, and will l>c
placed about the cottage set apart for
the Presidential party. The cottages
are all in readiness to receive the Pres
ident, and large crowds were gathered
about the Fra'ncklyn cottage during
the morning. Much inconvenience Las
been experienced by representatives of
the press, owing to the inadequate
telegraphic facilities, the nearest office
to the President's quarters being about
a mile and a half distant, and the only
method of conveyance is by carriage.
Booms have been set apart by the
proprietors of the West End Hotel for
ths accommodation of the Western
Union Telegraph Company, and an
additional force of men is expected to
arrive during the day. There is a land
breeze blowing and quite sultrv.
PHILADELPHIA, September 6.—Gen
eral Superintendent Kenny of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Division of the Pennsylvania Bailroad
was on the President's train. He says
it is true that the President's pulse fell
tea beats before reaching Baltimore.
The President seemed cheerfal and
when asked if he would like to travel
fast replied : "Yes, he rather liked it."
Kenny says he seemed to be in very
good spirits and was not uuder the
effects of any opiates. He was as
rational as could be and occasionally
chatted with the doctors. Kenny
added he was surprised to Bee the num
ber of people who turned out, particu
larly in the country places to witness
the passage of the train. Even at
prominent stations where there crowds
of people, raised their hats with rever
ence and all seemed affected by the
gravity of the situation.
LONG SWIMS BY IdEN AND
ANIMALS.
Referring to the wonderful feats of
swimming performed by Webb, the
opinion is expressed in Nature that
men and animals would sustain them
selves for long distances in water much
oftener were they not incapacitated by
terror or completely ignorant of their
real powers.
Some years since the second mate of
a ship fell overboard while fisting a
sail. It was blowing fresh, the time
was night, and the place some miles
out In the stormy German Ocean. The
hardy fellow nevertheless managed to
gain the English coast. Brock, with
a dozen other pilots, was plying for
fares by Yarmouth, and as the main
sheet was belayed, a sudden puff of
wind upset the boat, when presently
all perished except Brock himself, who
from 4 in the afternoon of an October
evening to 1 the next morning swam
thirteen miles before he was able to
hail a vessel at anchor in the offing.
Animals themselves are capable of
swimming immense distances, although
unable to rest by the way. A dog re
cently swan thirty miles in America in
order to rejoin his master. A mule
and a dog washed overboard during a
gale in the Bay of Biscay have been
known to make their way to shore. A
dog swam ashore with a letter in Lis
mouth at the Cape of Good Hope. The
erew of the ship to which the dog be
longed all perished, which. they need
not have done had they only ventured
to tread water as the dog did. As a
certain ship was laboring heavily in
the trough of the sea it was found
needful, in order to lighten the vessel,
to throw some troop horses orarboard
which had been taken in at Corunna.
The poor things, a staff surgeon said,
when they found themselves abandon
ed, faced round and swam for miles af
ter the vessel. A man on the east
coast of Lincolnshire saved quite a
number of lives by swimming out on
horseback to vessels in distress. He
commonly rode an old gray mare, but
when the mare was not to hand he
took the first horse that offered.
GIVE THE BABY A DRiNK OF
WA TER.
A city physician attributes a large
part of the excessive mortality of chil
dren in hot weather to the failure of
nurses and mothers to give them wat
er, indeed more children are said to
die (directly and indirectly from depri
vation of water than from any other
cause. Infants, he says, are always
too much wrapped up, and in any case
would prespire very freely. The water
lost by prcspiration must be supplied.
As Dr. Murdoch stated in his paper on
cholera infantum. "The child is
thirsty, not hungry; but not getting
the water, which it does want, it drinks
the milk, which it does not want."
The consequence is that the stomach
is overloaded with food which it can
not digest, and which soon ferments
and becomes a source of severe irrita
tion. Then follow vomiting, purging,
and cholera infantum."
To prevent this, the principal
scourge of infancy, the doctor says:
"Have water—without ice—always
accessible to the child; who will then
refuse sour milk and will eat only
when hungry. Water is the great in
dispensable article for the preventive
treatment of children in hot weather.
It is important enough to nursing chil
dren. but is life itself to those reared
on the bottle."
[Detroit Pout und Tribune.]
I have a little girl, said Mr. Henry
Dole, of this city, in a conversation,
who was troubled with a severe lame
ness in her legs, pronounced by some
Erysipelas, by others Ilheumatim. I
had tried several remedies without ef
fect, when I was induced to apply St.
Jacobs Oil and I am happy to say
that the use of but one bottle cured her,
and she is now able to go to school
again.
Said a distinguished politition to his
son : "Look at me ! I began as an al
derman and here I am at the top of .the.
tree. And what is my reward? Why,
when I die, my son will be the great
est rascal in the city.' To this the.,
young hopeful replied: * Yes, dad,
when you die; and not till theu.'
