From the Mtast-hifl Avalanche.] "Tie .storv wkit-h I t-ta going to relate Lad real men and ftr actorp, atd is known to all the old time retidents in abd around LouU ville. It preeents one of the most re markable complications of old plarerj times that ever tame within iu my knowledge, and 1 am not over young. "Fiitcenor twenty years befoie the breaking cut of the late civii war, a youi'g giil in her ttens came up from L6uiaii.La and Kittled in Louis ville, g'viiig the name of Lizzie Carl ton. Nothing lucre was known of her than that «hc was accompanied by a man who was, c-r who pretended to be, deal and dumb, and and who, after her to secure a situation with Mrs Williams, a mil liner and dressmaker on Fourth street, returned at once southward by river. Lizzie was a haLdsome bru nette, with a wealth of raven hair which t.wept almost to the floor, bright, expressive eyes, and altogeth er genteel bud dignilied in her gener al appearance. Her ladylike deport ment and strict attention to the in lerests of her employer, soon made her superintendent of the establish ment. "Social barriers were not so stub born then as now, and hence the young and beautiful wtranger was soon received into the best society, forming a number of friends outside lier regular business patrons, among others a Mrs. E, a prominent mem ber of the Baptist Church, at whose house tLe black-eyed beauty was a frequent visiter. She in time attach ed herself to that cLurch, becoming a most exemplary member. During her visits to Mrs. E. our heroine met Philip S., Limeclf one of the pillars of the chur"b, who, after living in single blesstdneFß for years, enjoying all alone his wealth and family sta tion, soon conceived a tender senti ment for the young and beautiful sis ter. It was not long after the match makers got their heads together till Bbilij* and Lizzie were made one. The marriage ceremony took place at the Baptist Church, then standing on the Southwest corner of Fifth and (Jreen streets, the lie v. Mr. Bucb t oliicittting, and inuny old-timers liv ing to this day will recall the facts exactly as 1 give them. After the ceremony the bride and groom and their friends repaired to Mr S's resi dence, about ten miles from Louis ville, on the Berdstown pike, whefo" the usual wedding festivities were enjoyed. "Thw honeymoon, with other rnooDH, dripping with honey 'sweeter than the honeycomb,' waxed and warn d The old 'bachelor,' happy in the new world that dawned before him; the young wife, with her back upon the past and its memories, wag even forgetting that she had been a hard worked milliner in the struggle for bread. "Alas! that ever man's avarice and brutality bhould break in to mar and destroy a scene of happiness like this. About sunset one afternoon the door-bell rang Lizzie , now Mrs. S, ielt her husband's bedside( he was confined to his room with a slight illness at the time), arranged her toiLt, and descended to the par lor. "One piercing scream that startled tho echoes aroused Mr. H. who runh ed down Stairs. What was his as tonishment atid dismay to find his hririo tainting ou the floor, and a strange gentleman,attended by a uni formed policeman, standing over her. " 'Sir,' said the stranger, 'this wo man is my slave. Her name is Meli do Cass, lam a Louisiana planter; here ia the bill of sale. I bought her a few months before she escaped to iny heme, and I havo been on her track evor biuco, and now she must return with mo.' "TLe distress of the unfortunate couple drew about them at once a concourse of friends, who were as much at a loss what to advise in the midbt of t'lcje strange revelations as were the two most deeply concern id. The husband, after the first par oxysms of bin grief and mortification, vowed eternal fidelity to his wife, bond or free, and with tho assistance of Deacon K., Rev. Buck and others, it was arranged that, in order to quiet matters, the Louisiana planter should be indemnified for tho loss of his slave, an<l a little party of friends met together at tho Halt House, where tho Louisauian was paid S7OO for compensation, and he returned home, "And this ends this strange, eventful history?" asked the repor ter. By no means. The worst is to come. Mr. S. being a man easily in-1 fliieuccd by bis stronger minded rela tives, was So strongly beset by his Uncles, his fconsirm, his sisters and his aunts, that lie turned his young brido out of doois. They could not tolerate bven a single drop of negro blood, how ever concealed by a fair exterior. The poor deserted wife went heart-broken from place to place in the capacity of a seamstress, and soon gave birth to a son. She man aged to support herself and child, and bear tip bravely under all her mis fortunes, until Mr. S. married anoth er. This was more than she could withstand, and, taking to her bed,she was kindly attended by the Bisters of Charily and a few Baptist sisters in Louisville, until she died of a broken heart. "Did she really have negro blood in her veins?" "That is the question. Mr. K went South to get a true statement of her history, but the reports there were as conflicting as elsewhere. Lizzie Carlton persisted with her dy ing breath that she was of pure Cau t-acian blood, a free woman by birth. She related that her mother, a Portu guese, ou reaching this country, be ing a dark brunette, formed the ac quftinfance'of a wealthy planter in New Orleans, who became so infatu ated that he took her to his home, cad to comeai his purpose trom his wife, passtd the woman off as a slave —her complexion enablinf her to pars for a light mnllatto, k lji*2ie was the offspring of this illicit strategy, and the planter, dy ing suddenly and without disclosing the true character of his mistress, who also died eocn after, Lizzie, quite a child, de-scended to the heirs with the othtr property. The estate was left involved, and Lizz-e was sold on the Llock to the p'anter who afterward puisued her to Louisville. She far ther explained that the young man who fled with htr to Louisville was her half brother—the sou of her moth er's betrayer—and that she fled to es cape the persecutions of her new master, who persisted in soliciting fevers she would not concede. ' A few pitied, while more blamed the unfortunate woman for Laving imposed hcreelf, aa tbey call it, on the community and for having mar ried into ODC cf the 'best families.' But time soon mellowed the harsh ness of the judgement, and many be lieve her story to have been true in aii respects. Many of our oldest in habitants believe she was indeed the daughter of a Portuguese woman,and wui th'i innocent victim of the unholy love which drove her parents to the bi6e subterfuge. Their sudden death was the cnu. Eof all her woes. Even her ostensible 'master' may have been innocent of her true history. How terribly were the sins of the parents visited on the child! "And Lizzie Carlton's son, the off spring of her marriage with Mr. S. is he still living?" "His life is shrouded in mystery. Soon after the death of Philip S. the relatives of the latter sent the boy to Hewesville, Ky., to be reared and educated under an assumed name,and sioce that time nothing has been fcnown of hib fate unless to the rela tives of Mr. S alone. They, you can understand, may have selfish reasons for wishing him to remain in ignorance of his own origin, for there was and may yet be,considerable prop erty it stake. "Jfnd the story is a true one in all respects?" "True in every word, syllable and letter. I withhold names for pru dent reasons, but there are many men and women in Louisville to-day who can read the record and fill up the blanks without hesitation. Lizzie Carlton fills an humble grave in the Western Cemetery at Louisville, en joying that peaceful rest which man's icLuinanity denies to the living. A Saratoga Conversation. The following remarks were over heard on the piazza of the United States Hotel at Saratoga, last week: j Mr. Blank, the millionaire, has gone t<r New York to work pome speculation. Tie cannot spend his income, and yet he is not satisfied. Pitty he cannot be contented with his wealth. It is astonishing what a power the habit of accumulating money has over a man. He can add thousands to his principal,but he can not add a farthing to bis enjoyment. J retired from active business twenty years ago ar 'd resolved to enjoy life. I have not aw roach money #h I had then, hut I rather take the chances of dying with the apoplexy than of dying of overwork iu accumulating money that 1 cannot use. The ricli men's Hons of New York are a uuisauce. Their fathers send them to Europe to either get an edu cation or to get rid of them, and they return as dudes or drunkards. These young men are ashamed to admit that their fathers worked for a living. The idea of a good woman marrying such a young man—literary throw- ; Ug ht rgelf away. I wotild raiber my daughter would marry a poor young shoemaker, provided he was a sober, industrious and sensible young man, for in such a ease he will not always remain poor. Couhl Hold up Their Heads There was an odd incident at one of the seaside places last week. A couple of ladies, who do not live iu Boston, and whose unpretentious way of life had perhaps led them to fear that they might be looked down upon by Boston paople, had taken board at a hotel much patronized by Bnstoniang of an excellent sort Walking about the corrider of the house on the first evening after their arrival, and observing with an inter eat natural to all newcomers the peo ple about them, they happened to ob serve two ladies standing not far away. It struck the younger of the newcomers, who is a little short-sight ed, that those two ladies whom they saw in the corrider were shabby in appearance. She turned to her com panion and whispered: Well, I guess we can hold up our heads with this kind of people," The elder seized her handkerchief ina vain attempt to suppressa hearty laugh. They had been looking at their own reflection in a big mirror.— lionton Tranxcripl. Demoralizing the Turf. Detroit Free Prcus.)

BUTLER, PA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2. 18S7 : Prohibition Stale Convention. — The Platform Adopted. From Harrisburj; Telegraph of Aug. 25.] Chairman Stevens, of the Commit tee on Resolutions, reported the fol lowing platform : XIIE PLATFORM 1. We acknowledge the Almighty . God as the source of all power, and with His assistance in conformity with the Divine law we will labor on in the struggle for the extermination of the drink traffic. 2. We declare that no political and preventable evil or combination of evil so clogs the progress of good, so burdens industry and trade, so cor i rupts politics and legislation, so en dangers life, liberty and prosperity, so threatens the perpetuity of free in ! stituuons, as the liquor "traffic. No j political issue is so important as is the suppression of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating beverages, and we demand the prohibition of the ! same by statutory and constitutional | enactment, faithfully enforced, as the j only corrective agency for the evils i arising therefrom. j 3- We declare that during the past I year the current of party declarations j and actions gives no promise that l either the Republican or Democratic J party will make the legal prohibition of the driok traffic the object of party support, and that therefore the citi zen who desires prohibition and relief from responsibility for and complicity with the drink trade, can find it only by casting his vote with the Prohibi tion party, the only party that dares meet the Baloon power at the ballot box 4* We denounce the hypocrisy of ; I the Republican party in pretending 1 ' to favor the prohibition of tbe drink 1 traffic by the passage of a resolution 1 for the submission of a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufac -5 ture and sale of intoxicatiug liquor, and then nullifying- the same law by ' the passage of a high license law, ' with the approval, as we believe, of the liquor interest of the State, in and • by which they seek by a division of - the license fees to make the citizens ' of the Commonwealth in evary coun ' ty, city and borough partners in the ' profits of the liquor traffic, and there -1 by secure the defeat of the amend ■ uient if finally submitted to a vote of 1 the people. 1 5. We declare the action of the late 1 Legislature in refusing to prohibit 1 the sale of intoxicating liquors on Memorial Day, and in the enactment of the present "high license law," as satisfactory evidence of the complicity of the Republican arid Democratic parties with their subjection to the saloon power. 0. We favor protection to Ameri can labor and capital; tbe restriction of immigration as against pauper and criminal classes; the reservation of our public lands for actual settlers; popular education with the retention of the Bible in our public schools; juat pensions to our dependent sol diers or their families; civil service based on personal character and offi cial fitness, and a wise and economi cal administration of public affairs. 7. Custom duties should be so lev ied as to protect, promote and extend American labor, wherever and when ever foreign labor and capital shall compete. 8. We demand a system of taxation which shall bear equally upon every species of taxable property, and upon ail taxable persons and corporations alike. 9. We favor a just system of arbi tration for the settlement of differ ences between neighbor and neighbor, employer and employe, as well as for the settlement of international difficul ties. 10. The earnest energetic labors of the women of the State for the pro motion of temperance merits our gratitude; viewing with alarm the ship ioads of ignorant and vicious men who are annually brought to this country, and who, soon becoming voters, control our largo cities, endan gering life, property and our civil and religious instituiious, we shall hail with satisfaction the day when the in telligence and virtue of American women, our only political counter poise to this ignorance, shall be cloth ed with legal power, their rightful due, to practically and efficiently de fend "home and native land" with their ballots. 11. We declare that Pennsylvania is a Christian Commonwealth; was founded to promote civil and religious liberty; that our fathers acknowledged the God of the Bible as their God and the Supreme Ituler, and the Bible as containing his code of laws. The re ligion of the Bible was their religion, and continued to be the religion of our people, and they have the right to expect and demand from their ser vants in the Legislature and execu tive power such laws as will protect them in the full enjoyment of life and property and in their religious con victions and observances, not conflict ing with the personal liberty aud equal rights of others. And we fur ther declare that the quiet enjoyment of the Sunday of our fathers, with its instruction and influences so promo tive of public good, is an inheritance which must be defended against all secular employments, and all attempts of men to treat it "as any other day," whatsoever may be the plea or pre text. 12. That we declare in favor of laws against discrimination by cor porations, and arraign tbe Republican and Democratic parties for the hostil ity to and defeat of auti discrimination measures proposed at tho last session of the Legislature for the defense of the weak against the strong. 13. We also arraign the Republican party for the mysterious defeat of the State revenue bill, by means whereof the corporations of the State escaped the payment of over $2,500,000 of just taxation, while the laboring, me chanical and farming interests of the State in many ways aro compelled to pay tho same by art unequal and un just system of taxation. 14. Returning thanks to him who is the wonderful, the counsellor, for j His guidance and aid in the progress I of tbe temperance cause in the past, for tho efforts now so auspiciously prevailing in the States of the Union for the abolition of the drink traffic, and relying upon Him for success we shall go from this convention to sup plement and support moral efforts by our votes for securing the peace and prosperity of our State by the over j throw of tbe saloon—the primary ob ject of the prohibition partv, and to , ! litis end wo conliaiiy ask tho aid of I all citizens without distinction of . I party, race or sex. | The platform was adopted,although aa attempt was made by a Delaware . female delegate to strike out the j clause relating to the Bible in the | schools. This was sat down on. Experience With A Model. My artist friend told me an inter esting story of an experience he bad with a woman, now a celebrated model, when she first posed in a stu dio. She dropped in upon him, say- ; ing that she had bben a counter girl in O'Neils, a shopping store, at about j $6 a week, and could not make both ends meet; that a lady friend who was a model had spoken of him as a gentleman, and that he needed a sub ject she would like him to tell her what to do. He told her what she would have to accustom herself to if she followed that life, but she said j she knew all about it, lie pointed to j a screen and bade her go behind it and take off her things. Presently she reapeared, but in little more un dress than if she were about to retire. Informed that this was not what was wanted, she disappeared and next re vealed herself in complete undress, but with her back to the artist. Here was an extraordinarily beau tiful form, and as be made a sketch of her figure he debated with himself how be should deal with her. He resolved to be wholly business like, and so, walking over to where she stood, he bade her turn around and posed her as he wished her to stand. By the time he reached hia easel she was bent double and indulging in a fit of crying blended with almost hys terical laughter. He told her it was quite evident that she had to give up her ambition and return to her former life, and he supposed she would. But she did not. She is now one of the most noted and prized models in to wu. She remains a perfectly good girl, but is not averse to sitting en tirely disrobed and smoking a cigar ette while curled up like a Turk on a lounge waiting for her employer to begin work. The most popular model now, how ever, is a former model who has been married and had several children, and baa at last been obliged to re turn to the eld life in order to sup port her husband. Models in good demand make $25 a week. A most curious fact that my informant says has been noticed among artists is that members of the dctiii monde can not be got to pose as models. It would be inferred from that that the most utter shameleesness is found in those that do that work, and yet very mauy—in fact, all who have a modicum of brains—are good women who lead orderly lives and keep ad mirable homes.— Julian Ralph's Letter. A Peculiar Pension Claim. A pension claim was refused at Washington recently which is of pe culiar interest, and has been the subject of much discussion by pension officerp. It seems that William Hedgspechter, an ex member of the 42d Indiana Vol unteers was captured in 1863, and conGned as a prisoner at Anderson ville After remaining in captivity five months he enlisted in the Confed erate army, he says, to escape starva tion and so informed his fellow prison ers, that at the first opportunity he would desert and if possible make his way to hiß old command. After a short service in the Confederate army be carrried out hia intention and finally reached his old regiment in which be served until discharged. Some years agohe applied for a pension on the ground of disability contracted while in the Federal service. This fact was fully sustained. The law pro vides that no one aiding directly or indirectly the enemies of the govern in the late war shall be permitted to draw a pension. Hedgspechter's brief connection with the Cojfeder aey made him amenable to the law. His motive, it is said, cannot be ta en into consideration. A Curious Case. Tho Warren Paragraph contains the following legal nut: The entan glements of the new liquor law have developed a peculiar state of affairs in the case of Win. Hathaway, tho hotel man of (Jarland, who was convicted at the last term of court for selling liquor without a license. The evi dence at the trial proved conclusively that Hathaway had repeatedly violat ed the law in this respect and a ver dict was rendered in accordance with tho facts, but Hon. C. O. Bowman, of Corry, the defendant's counsel, asked for a rule to show cause why judgment should not be arrested; Mr. Bowman claiming that there is no law under which the culprit could be sentenced. This point was argued, and result ed in Mr. Bowman's point being sus tained, for the reason that the act of 1856, under which the offense was committed, has expired by limitation, and the lawmakers failed to insert a saving clause in the act of 1887 pro viding for the punishment of violators of the old law. Hathaway was therefore discharg ed by the court without even the pay ment of the costs of prosecution. Things That No One Likes To Hear.

On the 24th of July, lSla, seven ty-two years ago, says a writer in the St. Louis Globe -Democrat, the Brit ish man-of-war Bellerophon, the Em peror Napoleon on board, anchored at Torbay, on the southern coast of England, and Napoleon was a prison er of war. As early as at Wagram Napoleon showed that his iutellect had passed its prime. From that time on he was not himselt. liis Waterloo campaign was feeble. He was irresolute. He abdicated prema turely. After his abdication, and while yet at I'aris, he displayed tim idity. From Paris he proceeded to Ilochefort, on the Western coast of France, with about SBO,OOO in gold, with the intent of going to America. At that date he would have been one of the rich men in this country. He reached Rochefort on July 3. Not only precious hours but precious days slipped by. At last escape, which might have been easy, became im possible. Probably it was well. In this country he might have wrought mis chief. On July 21 ho became Eng land's prisoner of war. As he had been an Emperor it was thought not proper to confine him as a felon. Yet, in violation of his pledge, he bad stealthily escaped from Elba and caused blood to flow like water at Quatre Bras, at Ligny and at Water loo. It wonld be a crime against Eu rope and against humanity to trust him again on his he nor. Royal though he had been,he must be confin ed so that another escape would be impossible. The place of his deten tion was determined upon after care ful deliberation, and was determined wisely. Napoleon's known intoler ance to cold was considered in fixing upon a tropical island. St. Helena is an island cast up by volcanic eruption. It is mostly rocky, with a few nar row valleys. It is is perhaps a dozen miles In circumference, and in 1815 contained about 4000 inhabitants. On account of its rocky bleakness it is rarely visited by ship?—a fact mak ing it more secure as a royal prison. When Napoleon was told that he was a prisoner of war he affected sur prise. Great Britain behaved gener ously, and Napoleon was allowed to take with kiro as companions three military and oue civil friend, with their families, one physician and twelve servants, to kept at England's expense. He selected Marshal Ber trand, Count Mont jelou and General Gourg aud M. de La Cases as his oompauions. The support of this company cost England yearly about. SIOO,OOO. This does not include the enormous expense of keeping at the island a Governor with his reti nue, a regiment of soldiers aud a fleet. On August 8 tho fleeet sailed from the English Channel for St. Helena, and on October 17 Napoleon first stepped upon the island where ho was to die. He lodged for a time iu a little valley cottage called the Briars. More spacious acommodations were afterward provided. Soon Napoleon began his misbehavoir. Cockburn was kindhearted and generous, but be had his duty in keeping Napoleon uuder guard. Napoleon, with the smallest capacity, ought to have seen this and respected it. But ho would not. Cockburn furnished him a horse, and offered a wide latitude in wtiich to ride, but added that if he approached withiu a prescribed dis tance of the beach ho would bo at tented by a British officer. Napoleon affected to regard the limitation as an insult, and with childish pettishness refused to ride at all Then came fault-finding as unjsst as it was uu dignified. After the fashion of the vulgar, ho thought it smart to use nicknames, and called Lord Cockbtrn "tho shark." Daily he repaid gener osity with ingratitude, politeness with insolence. Napoleon did not desire to escape. He himself said that he had lived so long in the eyes of tho world that he could not live without being talked about; that to be buried in privacy in tho wilds of America would be unen durable, and that since ho could not now occupy a throne he was greater as a prisoner on that rock than he could be elsewhere. In 1820 his health began to fail vis ibly; biß peculation became feeble. Physicians prescribed. He had no confidence and refused medicine. He said he would die of disease, but not of medicine. In April. 1821, he grew worse daily. He daily spent hours in tho bath, which weakened him His eyes were sunken; his his color was livid. He saw his end at hand. As he was worth more than $1,000,000, which in our time would be Bcveral millions, he made a will, in which he expressed his hat red and vindicated his crimes. Ho denouueed his bad hearted brother Louis as a liar. On May 4, 1821, his hours were evidently numbered. He took no food, and frequently vomited a black matter. He had spasms and a rag ing thirst. He was too weak to speak, and besides his tongue and lips were incapable of articulation, so that his faint mutterings were unintelligi ble. The sth dawned as sunny and tranquil a day as ever dawued on that island. All day long Napoleon lay as in a stupor. It was evident that that day was his last. At 5:40 in the evening just as the bright sun from a cloudless sky was about to dip into the ocean, a Catholic priest stand ing near, while friends wept around his couch, without one motion, with out eyen the death rattle, tho prison er was released. —lf any one thing has oftner and more forcibly pressed upon public at tention through the newspapers than another it is the fact that the most unsafe place a person can seek refuge during a thunder storm is the shelter of a tree. It is the place that most persons seek when storm driven, and more persons have been killed by lightning there than any other place. Most people know this, but still they rush upon their destruction with a promptness that is simply unaccount able. Already this seasou many deaths have been report ed of persons who have sought such shelter, and the list will no doubt be much longer before the summer is over. —Evejy lime the Princess of Wales is seen in public she appears in a different bonnet.

Beaver's Proclamation Urging a Fitting Observance of the Event. HABBISBURO, PA, Aug. 23 —Fol lowing is Gov. Beaver's proclamation urging a fitting observance of the cen tennial anniversary of the signing and adoption of, the Constitution of the United States: To the People of Pennsylvania, Greeting: The centennial anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States of America is approach ing. In pursuance of a movement inaugurated by the Legulrture of New Jersey on the 2d day of Janu ary, 188G, planned by the Governors and other representatives of the thir teen original Stages of the Union, and carried out by representativesofall the States and Territories organized and known as the Constitutional Centen nial Commission, the occasion will be observed and celebrated in a man ner befitting its dignity and import ance in the city of Philadelphia, on the loth, lGth and 17th days of Sep tember, 1887. The adoption of the Constitution by the convention which assembled in the city of Philadelphia for the purpose of maturing n plan for the government of the Uuited States, concluding its labors on the 17th of September, 1737, and its subsequent ratification by the several States there represeuted, was an eyent w hich has few equals in importance in the his tory of the world. A century of un exampled progress and prosperity, duriDg which the Constitution has not only met the requirements of or dinary, peaceful, national life, but has also withstood tho rhock of great and trying emergencies, demonstrates the wisdom, sagacity and forethought of its framers. Asa result of the successful labors of our patriotic forefathers, personal freedom based upon constitutional guarantees, and civil liberty under a Government ordained, established and administered by the people, have be come the aspiration and hope of the most enlightened people of the world. We do well to pause for a day in tho busy whirl of active life to pay trib ute to the memory of the men who so wondrously planned our fair fabric of Government, and to commemorate the material progress which wo havo made, and the political prestige which we havo won, as the result of their thoughtful labor. In viewing tho facts already stated and of the further fact that our Com monwealth has made liberal material provision for this celebration, I, .las. A. Beaver, Governor of tho said Com monwealth, do hereby commend to all the people thereof the observance of the days set opart by Constitution al Centennial Commission aforesaid, for tho commemoration of the centen nial anniversary of tho signing of the Federal constitution. I earnestly recommend to all our manufacturers throughout tho Commonwealth, em ployers and employed, the most hear ty co operation in making the indus trial display, which is to bo one of the principal features of tho celebra tion, worthy of the great occasion, tho progressive spirit of the age, and the proud pre-eminence which Penn sylvania occupies as an industrial State. I recommend to our citizen soldiers, organized not for war, but as the bent preventive of war, to take such part in the exercises of the occasion aw may be allotted to them, with a just pride in the prestige which their organ ization lias attuined. I recommend to all our people to join in the glad observance of the.se days of rejoicing with a grateful recognition of the fact that our great metropolis, which is not only the birthplace of the dec laration that made our country a pos sibility, ami of the constitution which has made it free, has also been select ed by general and hearty consent as the place where we as a nation shall s«'t up the first century's milestone of our existence and progress. Dela ware led us in the adoption of the Constitution; Now Jersey led us in the proposition for this celebration; lot no Htate lead in the observance of the great oc«asion. I also further recommend to the clergymen throughout the Common wealth that, HO far OH they may be able conveniently to <lo HO, they preach sermons appropriate to the oc casion upon the Sabbath immediate ly preceding or immediately follow ing the said celebration; and that they join with their congregations iu humble and devout thanksgiving to Almighty God for blessings civil and religious liberty which lie hath vouchsafed to us under the constitu tion, and in earnest prayers for llis unerring guidance iu the time to come. Given under my hand and the groat seal of the Commonwealth at Har risburg, this twenty-second day of August, in the year of our Lord, one thousand hundred »nd eighty-seven, and of the Common wealth the one hundred and twelfth.

Here is an easy one for it: When will Mr. (Jarland resign? The Pay of Legislators. Some carious statistics have just been been published concerning the salaries given to members of Parlia ment in various foreign nations. To begin with France, the Senators and Deputies receive the same rem unerati on-namely, £1 sterling a day. In Bel gium each member of the Chamber of Representatives gets £l7 a month. In Denmark the members of the Landsthing are paid about 15s. a day. In Portugal the Peers and Commons are given the same sum, which is £67 a year. In Sweden the members of the Diet receive £C6 for a session of four months, but they have to re fund a fine 12s. for every day's ab sence. That is not a bad idea. In Switzerland the members of the National Council get 10s. per diem, and those of the Council of State from Cs. to 10s. In the United States Congressmen are paid $5,000, and are allowed an indemnity for traveling expenses. In Norway the members of the Storthing receive 14s. a day during the session, which lasts about six weeks. In Italy the Sena tors and Deputies, are not paid, but they are allowed traveling expenses and certain privileges. In Spain the members of the Cortes are also un paid, but enjoy many advantages and immunities. In Greece the Sena tors get £2O a month and the Depu ties £lO. In Germauy the represen ts.tives receive an average of 10s a day. In Austria the pay is the same as iu Franco, £1 a day. England is the oniy country where members of Parliament are not only unpaid, but have no right to privileges. Work man. Died Fron a Spider's Bite. JERSEY CITY, Aug. 23"— Ex-Town Clerk, Thomas McCormick, of Union Township, Hudson County, died last evening from the effects of a spider's bite received yesterday morning. Since his deposition from the oflice of town clerk McCormick bas inter ested himself gathering specimens of of miuerals for the State Geologist. Yesterday he started from his home to make a tour of a number of desert quarries siuated near Union Hill. About 6 o'clock in the evening he laid down by a mountain stream and fell asleep. He awakened by feeling a stinging sensation on the back of the neck. He put his band to the spot and crushed an insect that had a firm hold of his flesh. Upon inspec tion he found it to be a black spider extraordinarily large. He thought nothing of the matter until an hour afterwards, when the spot where the inset had bitten him commenced to swell and sharp pains shot through his head and down his back. His wife sent for a physician immediately, who applied a leech to to tbe wound. The swelling still continued and other remedies were tried, but to no effect. The doctor th'-n ordered his removal to St. Mary's Hospital lloboken, where tho wound was lanced. The swelling still continued, the t<kin on the man's face and back being drawn so tightly in a short time that it cracked in spots. The pain from the wound was terrible and McCormick was placed under the effects of ether. Physicians from the City Hospital in the city were sent for, but before they arrived the man was dead. Tho County Physician will make an au topsy of the body to-morrow. Blaine's Touring Trials. CHICAGO, Aug. 22.— The News special Cable from Homburg, says: If the waters here agree with Mr. Hiaine ho will remain four or five weeks, the period of treatment prescribed for tho cure. Senator Hale's experiment has been altogether satisfactory and as both Maine statesmen suffer from the same disorder, Mr. Blaine is encoura ged to prolong his stay between the week he had originally intended for the visit. Mr. Blaine begau the drinking cure at Elizabeth well yos terday and will try the baths next week, The waters are lorrosalino, of both reslvet and tonic qualitiee.
