The Pennsylvania Reserves Ringed Butler here and there, And old time jokes, as memory serves, Rang laughter in the air. A Peddler I stopping with Wick, Some soldiers stopped there too; My purse was light, my leader sick, My sales, all told, were few. I was told, a blind man sat By Campbell's Hotel duor, Aud" soon I listened to his chat Aud introduced some more. And the blind man, Alex, said, 1 got Twelve thousand dollars back pay—cash; I paid the village back—a lot, Aud swore ofi drinking trash. It's $72 a month; I get The private's rated height. It never seamed too much, aj yet, To balanca wan', ot sigh:. It took three aad twenty years For Uncle Sara to give; Why don't ivj smother doubts and fears And help each wreck to live ? He falked to an aged man, with sight, Who fought iu both late wars, Who lost much vigor in fight, And the march of years, three score. The old man said, in accents low, That quarter now I'll take, 'Tis near the tiiu j that I should g ) And new couditious take. But Alex, in a quiet way Presented four iu one, As "welcome as the flowers of May," Or mountaiu waters run. »**(»** ** Since then I have tramped with a friend And lectured by the way, But people did not attend — Lecturing did not pay. I came to the end of my string, Not knowing what to do; But I met good Alex, my friend With mouey that put me through. In a quiet sort of a way, For duty, not tor fun, As "welcome as the flowers of May," Or light of mid-day sun. And now I'll close my story; The cheerful giver is blest— Let us give to God the glory, And to Uncle Sam a rest. The above is a blind man's eulogy on a blind man—composed by J. L. Lee iu honor ot Alex GiLihrist of In liana, both of whom are blind. Mr. Lee is now in Butler and vi cinity selling his celebrated Magnetic Oil, the great pain cure. General Notes. At the National Prohibition Con veDtion in ludianapolis, last Thurs day, Clinton B. Fiske, of New Jersey, was nominated for President, and John A. Brooks, of Missouri, for Vice President, The feature of the day was the triumph of the woman's suf frage element, of the Convention, and the adoption of a plank in the plat form to that effect. The other "planks" refer to the manufacture of liquor, license, internal revenue, polygamy, trusts, immigration, civil service and public revenue. See Platform in another place. —lt is said that the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. is negotiating for the purchase of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road, and the two together the Union Pacific road. The ostensi ble object of these purchases is to transcontinentalize the Pennsylvania system. As conservative a paper as the New York Times assumes the paternity of this scheme, and at pome length gives reasons for its accom plishment, together with an explana tion of its feasibility. —An unknown white man disguis ed as a negro, who had set himself up iu Greene county, Ga , as the Saviour and att p acted a great following, was banged by his deluded victims last Friday. —A dispatch to the Chicago Tri bune says the Excelsior geyser in the Yellowstone Park is in operation. This geyser is in the great middle geyser basin, close to Fire Hole River. It is in the form of an im mense pit 320 feet in length and 200 feet wide, and the aperture through which it discharges its volume of water is nearly 200 feet in diameter. Its general appearance is that of a huge boiling spring, and for many years its true character was not sus pected. Its first eruption occurred in 1880, when it revealed itself as a stupendous geyser. The power of its eruptions was almost incredible, sending an immense column of water to heig-bts of from 100 to 300 feet, and barling with it rocks and bowl ders of from 1 to 100 pounds in weight. Its present eruption is said to be a repetition of that of 1880. It is throwing its volumes of water 300 feet into the air, and Fire Hole River is reported to have risen two feet from its rushing floods. This is noto conceded to be the most powerful geyser in existence. Gov. Hill, of New York has signed the bill substituting electricity for the gallows. The new law will apply to murders committed after Jan. 1, 1889. It embodies the most radical reform of the century in the mode of inflict ing the death penalty. New York has taken the lead which is likely to be followed by other States. —From reports submitted to the General Conference it appears that there are 20,755 M. E. churches in the United States, all occupied, and worth §80,812,702, She has 7,532 parsonages, worth $1,008,047, 136 colleges, universities and seminaries, with endowments amounting to $20,- 489,307, making the enormous total of $113,200,146 of financial wealth in possession of the church. The officers in the various congregations handed out last year $16,168,225, it being an average of $8 per member, without a dollar of expense or loss. When the first census was taken in 1700 there were 57,004 Methodists in the United States. Now there are 6,- 000,000. While the population of the country since that date has gain ed 1,177 per cent; the Methodist Church has gained 5,413 per cent. —The Co., Commissioners were somewhat indignant oyer part of the Pres-ent.ncnt of the last Grand Jury. The bhsement of the buildiug was in good coudition last Wednesday morning, but before the Jury visited it, towards noon of that day, some "bogs" had made a fearful muss there, and the Commissioners are thiaking of excluding the public from that part of the building. NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. Mrs. Hiblmrd,of Rochester, Pa., ba9 been expelled from ber church for bringing a breach of promise suit without first taking her grievance to the Church Committee. Judge Pearson of Ilarrisburg, died last Wednesday in his 88ih year. He | served for thirty-three years as Com- : I raon Pieas Judge of Dauphin Co , and had a wider reputation than any other President Judge in the State. Two doctors eDgaged in a slugging ' match on the streets of Greenviile j lately,the result of a disagreement re garding the treatment of a sick child. A gnug of civil engineers lately j surveyed the vicinity of East Brady, j which has renewed the talk about the air-line railroad between New York and Chicago. An exchange says that the papers in neighboring towns, shortly to be j visited by Wallace & Co's show, might do their readers something of a service by informing them that there is a very slick gang of swindlers traveling with the circus. We say the papers might do this, but it would do no good, People like to be swin dled and insist on being taken in and done up occasionally. J. F. Rayen, postmaster at Sandy Lake, has been running short in bis j accounts for some time aod last week the bondsmen became uneasy and sent for an inspector who found a shortage of $1,954. The office is now in the hands of the bondsmen and Hon. H. S. Blatt is acting as post master. It is stated that Mr. Rayen hna left for the West The Franklin News narrates a rather singular inetance of the need lesß suffering a child underwent, be cause its parents did not sooner have medical examination. It says: This morning a man and his wife, whose names we did not ascertain came in from the country, bringing with them a little three year old boy who had been suffering terribly from some trouble in the nose siuce last- fall. They took the child to Dr. Leaden ham, who discovered the cause of the trouble to be a small acorn which the child had put in bis nose. The acorn had worked its way up the nasal pass age nearly to the eye Dr. L. sue- i ceeded in grappling it with his in- ! struments and was not long in get- i ting it out. The New Castle Netcs of last week 1 said: On Wednesday Detective Brown took Bert Heckathorne, one of the Beaver Co. boys in jail for being im- 1 plicated in a half dozen or more bur glaries, to Fetterman, Beaver Co. ' Heckathorne led the Detective to a woods and from under a stump brought out a quantity of goods that had been stolen out of a store at Evans City. There were nine tea-! spoons, twelve pocketkui ves, two pipes and two razors in the lot. Heckathorne was then brouirbt back to this city aid placed in jail again ; He denies that be had anything to do j with the Evans City burglary, but says that Pander, who is iu jail, did the work. He claims that he heard Pander tell where the goods were ] hidden. Barclay Xultoc, Esq., of Kittan ning, has a fifteen months old calf that gives u half gallon of good milk twice a day, without having first be come a mother. The Derrick's Franklin correspond ent says: The fools are not all dead, and if the fool killer had been here to day the Third ward would have presented a fuueral aspect to-night. A carpenter to day lost $l5O in a skin game at the show ground; a man from Bully Hill lost sls; au old man from Plum twp , tried bard to borrow SBOO on a mortgage to iuveat in a "sure thing," and many others dropped $5 to $lO. Money enough was lost to subscribe for 400 papers, and thus learn the folly of being fool enough to try to beat a circus sharper at his own game. The Waynesboro Record says that a few evenings ago a rat attacked a child of Mr. Luther Neal, in that place, under rather peculiar circum stances. It appears Mrs. Neal left her in'ant, five weeks old, in the sum mer kitchen on a couple of chairs, in care of her husband, till she could go to a neighbors on an errand, but he, man like, left the plaie to do some work in the garden. On her return she found a rat with its head in the baby's month, and the child's lips, gums and tongue were severely bit ten. From the effects of the wounds the infant was poisoned, and at last accounts it was in a precarious situa tion. An employee of the Sharon Iron Works, who formerly worked in a sheet mill in Wales, is said to have reeeiyod a cablegram recently asking him if he could return to Wales by the tirst of July, as the lirm for which he had worked was about to start ten sheet mills that had been idle, iu ex pectation of the Mills bill passing Congress. Comment would hardly eeem to be necessary. The Mercer Creamery has 85,000 dozen of eggs stored in their cold storage room, kept at a temperature of forty degrees, for the fall trade. They were bought for eleven cents a dozen aud it is expected that double that price will be obtained for thorn in New York this fall. —Great are the wonders of the telephone. A physician reports to Gaillard's Medical Journal that he was saved a two mile ride through a driving Btorm the other night by hav ing the patient, a child, brought to the instrument and held there until it Jcoughed. He diagnosed false croup, prescribed two grains of tur peth mineral, and turned iu for an undisturbed sleep during the remain der of the night. lie found the pa tient in the morning doing nicely— under the care of another doctor. The Butler County "Record." The liutler County Record, former ly the Petrolia Record, will bo issu ed from Butler, Friday, June 15, and regularly every Friday thereafter. It will be a nine column four page paper, and besides the local news of of Butler it will contain correspond ence from all important points in the county. Chas. E. Herii.

The Democratic National Conven tion met in Exposition Hall iu St. Louis, Tuesday noon, and thongh there was a tremendous crowd pre sent, it was generally considered to be the quietest and stupidest National Convention that has ever met in this country. The nominations of Cleveland for President, and that of Thurman for Vice President were geueraily con ceded, and the only fight ia the Con vention promised to be that in the tariff plank of the platform. Watter son of Keutucky led the extreme tar iff reformers, and Gorman of Mary land, a moderate tariff man led the other crowd. Watterson's crowd seemed to be in the majority, but it was thought that Scott of Pennsyl vania would bricg about a com promise. Next day, Cleveland was put in nomination by Dan Dougherty and he was nominated unanimously amid the wildest excitement. The plat form committee was not yet ready to report, and the nomination for Vice President was left over till Dext day, and the Convention adjourned after a two hours session. The Committee on the Platform had been in session for thirty-six hours. The fight was over the Mills Bill and it is said to have been voted down, and the tariff plank of 1834 and Cleveland's last annual message adopted in its stead. The Oil Shut Down. The Executive Board of the Oil Producers' Protective Association has just prepared a comparative stutement of the effect of the compulsory shut down during the first six months that it has been in force, with November, and December, 1887, and January, February, March c.nd April of 1888. As compared with the same months of 1880 87 there was a decrease in the amount produced of 4,321,925 barrels; decrease in daily average, 23,747 bar rels; increase in shipments, 239,8.37 barrels; decrease in stock in six months, 5,871.550. There was also a decrease in certificates of 3,830,748 barrels; decrease in wells completed, 589; decrease in new production, 23,- 404 barrels; average size of wells completed in the last six months 18 50 barrels daily; average size of wells completed in the previous six mon'hs, 35.00 barrels daily; per cent, dry last six months, 35i; per ceut. dry prev ious six months, 23i. The limitation of production is by contract to November 1, 1888. The report continues: "The production cannot possibly average over 44,000 barrels per day till then; if the ship ments are the same as last year during this time, stocks will bo reduced to 18,274,260 barrels in all lines; Na tional Transit certificates to about 12,000,000 barrels; should the limita tion be continued six months longer, i. e., to May 1, 1889, and if shipments are the same as last year, stocks will be 12,423,591, and certificates only about 8,000,000. Many producers wish the shut down continued till that time. The indications, however, are that enforced shut down will not be required; that with all the wells thrown open there will be little in crease, as the books of the Producers' Protective Association show that many who shut down are now pump ing to their full capacity, yet cannot produce their limit." It is thought that that stocks on the first day of next May will not exceed 12,000,000 and certificates 8,000,000 barrels Excursion to Delano. The Pittsburg Dispatch of Monday gave the following account of the ex cursion to Delano. The sixth annual excursion of the German Lutherans of Pittsburg and vicinity to the Concordia Orphans' Home, at Delano, Butler county, took place yesterday, aud a large crowd of people from Pittsburg, Allegheny, Sharpsburg aud Montrose went out to visit the institution and spend a day in the quiet country groves. Two trains of 15 cars each, and two loco motives to each train, were required to transport the crowd, which num bered.nearly 1,800, and would doubt less have exceeded 2,000 had not the weather been so unsettled. The first train left Federal street station, Allegheny, over the West Penn Railroad, at 8 o'clock a. m , and all of the 15 cars were crowded. The second train, following a half hour later, with the same number of cars, wns comfortably filled. It stopped at Bennett, Sharpsburg and Montrose, and at each of these places large ad ditions were made to the party. A trip by rail up the beautilul Al legheny is always pleasant, but es pecially iu the spring, or early sum mer. and the excursionists enjoyed it greatly. Apparently they wero un able to take in enough ol the beauti ful scenery—broad flowing river, lofty bills, green fields and luxuriant forest foliage. All arrived safely at Delano shortly after 10 o'clock and the crowd which included all ages and both sexes, families of father, mother, and numerous children, bevies of young ladies without escorts, young men accompanied by their best girls and boys who thought themselves younir men, with one impulse sought the pleasant grounds of the Homo, looked through the buildiugs which were open for inspection, and than went through the fine orchard to where the exercises of the day were held. The program included singing and prayers and two sermons, all in the German language, so that ouly those who understand that tongue could get much good from it, excepting the melody of the singing, which all could appreciate. The morning sermon was preached by Rev. I*. Brandt, pastor of the South Eighteenth Street German Lutheran Church, Pittsburg, and was listened to with marked at tention. He occupied the time from 12 to 1 o'clock, after which there was an intermission of one hour and a half for dinner. At 2-30 p. m. Rev. F. Ahner, pastor of the Hiffh Street German Lutheran Church, Pittsburg, preached, and the choir rendered some excellent music. The exercises of the day closed at 4 o'clock, and the crowd spent an hour in quiet strolls about the grounds of ihe Home, and slowly made their way to the waiting trains, which left for the return trip to the city at a few minutes after 5. Reunion of 105lh Kcg't P. V. V. The survivors and friends of the !05th lleg't P. V, V., will re unite at Gettysburg. Pa , on Monday, July 2, 1888.

The boss may walk around Jand put on style, or spend his time in Europe for that matter, but his personality is merged in that of his bartender still. Adam Zeigler, of Huntingdon, tried to work the pious racket when his house was pulled for selling liquor to persons of known intemperate habits. His de fense was that the sales were made by an employe, but he was promptly con victed. Zeigler wasn't satisfied with this, but took the case to the Supreme Court, which Las just affirmed the de cision of the lower court holding that as there are no accessories in misde meanors—al! persons concerned being guilty as principals—Zeigler was just as much to blame as the young man who dished up the stuff.
