CHRISTY. a POLITICAL. Sept. sth—Next Wednesday is the last day for assessment and registration Tuesday, Nov. 6 is election day. The Butler-Armstrong senatorial con ferees met at the Lowry House Butler, last Friday, with a host of friends of both candidates present, to<£ a large number of ballots, and then adjourned to meet at the 7th Ave. Hotel in Pitts burg, on Friday Sept. 7th. Neither candidate shows anv disposition to give way to the other. Mr. Williams claims the nomination as a matter of right; and Mr. McNees says it is a personal matter with him (as it undoubtedly is to both of them) and offers lo have another primary to settle the matter. The State rules require a conference nomination to bo made 55 days before the election and Sept. 7th rubs the last date pretty closely. The Democratic conferees of Beaver, Britler, Lawrence and Mercer met at the Leslie House, New Castle, Saturday and nominated M. L. Lock wood for Congress on the second ballot, county had a candidate as follows: Butler, _ M. L. Lockwood; Beaver, Dr. Stronss; Mercer, Prof. Hays of Grove City: Lawrence, J. Norman Martin. On the first ballot the delegates from each county voted for their own candi date. After the ballot was taken J. Norman Martin and Dr. Strouss with drew, leaving Lockwood and Hays in the field. On the second ballot Hays received five votes and Lock-wood seven. "Tiockwood was declared nominated and the convention adjourned. Ihe Vermont State election occurs next Tnesday. All assessors should be at their poll ing places on Tnesday and Wednesday of next week. The Democratic State Senatorial con ferees met at Kittanning, Tuesday, and nominated Jas. Gallagher of Freeport, present Sheriff of Armstrong Co. Thirty-first district Senatorial confer ence, composing Juniata, Mifflin and Perrv counties, met at Mifflinton. Tues , day. * James W. McKee of Perry was named on the second ballot. A resolu tion pledging the nominee to support the caucus nominee for United States Senator was defeated. More Significant Figures. The census returns give San Francisco a population of 342,182 this year, as against 298,997 in 1890. The actual in crease is but 43,785, little more than one half as much as that for the city of Pittsburg. The percentage of increase is only 14.64. In other words, the popu lation of Pittsburg is but 21,000 less than that of San Francisco, excluding Alle gheng and the boroughs, while the actual Pittsburg is nearly twice as large. Boston, with a total population of 560,- 892, against 448,477 in 1890, has made a gain of 25.07 percent. This is li per cent less increase than Philadelphia, and may be regarded as a fair rate. When compared with Pittsburg and Allegheny combined Boston is not much larger and with the big boroughs and McKeesport the score is about equal. It is such ; statistics as these which emphasize the folly of having Pittsburg divided into separate minor municipalities for census i purposes when it is one in interest. This fact will be continuously appa rent as the important cities are reported by the Census Bureau and may be even more prounced when the smaller munic ipalities of Allegheny county are re turned. It is everywhere conceded the heaviest rate of increase has been in these suburban towns. There is no use crying over spilt milk, of course, but the the demonstration is too plain to be ig nored for another ten years, even at the behest of the political authorities.— Dispatch. _ Lionizing D'Arcos. The Duke d'Arcos. minister to the United States from Spain, who went to Chicago to attend the G. A. R. encamp ment, was lionized from the time of his arrival, but the climax was Monday night, at the Iron brigade banqnet. As he sat at the banqueting table to the left of Toastmaster McConnell, his eyes opened with surprise when that gentle man rose and said: "Wejhavewith us to-night as a guest of honor a nobleman, who, I think, claims our admiration and esteem for ■jtibe—tact a nd delicacy and discretion with wßTfch he has filled the high office of ambassador from his coHntrv, with which we were so recently at war. "In an equally chivalrous spirit, I call upon this audience of men who have buried all the animosities of the past to rise and join me in drinking the health of the ambassador from the conrt of Spain, his grace, the Duke d'Arcos." Everybody was up and shouting. The glasses went high in the air with a mighty cheer. Gen. Bragg sprang for ward and drew from his coat a Spanish Hag,, which he waved. Mr McConnell caught it and shouted: "These will be our colors tonight." Then he wound them about the neck at the Duke d.Arcos. The latter's face was flushed. He trembled in every limb. When silence was finally restor ed, he bowed to the guests who had hon ored him and said: "I cannot speak well in English. I could make you a speech in Spanish, but I prefer to say a few words in your own language for your courtesy. I deeply appreciate the honor done me. because I know what the Iron brigade is and has been. My English does not carry me further. I thank you. I wont forget the Iron brigade." The cheering again was vociferous the windows of the biiu- could be heard the cannonad the mimic battle of Santiago 011 front. Perfect summer weather greeted the f second day of the G A. R. encampment and helped to swell the ranks of the great parade. More than 30,000 veter ans, representing 7,000 posts from every state in tne union, inarched in review before the commander-in-chief, and his staff for three solid hours. The line of march was short because of the age of the men who participated in it. Near ly every post of importance was repre sented. Preceded by a company of police the parade was led by Chief .Marshal Col. J. H. Wood and his staff of sides. THE CHINESE WAR. On Friday it was ;• rumored that, Russia, Germany i and Japan, were about to declare *var upon China, and on Saturday a dispatch from Shang hai said that the Japanese had captur ed the Chinese Emperor on his mad to Hsian-Fu, also that s/omo Chinese gen erals had been degt aded, committed suicide, etc. On Monday it was. persistently rumor ed in St. Petersburg that there had been a battle in Pekin aiSd that "the allies re treated. losing 1,80(0 men, mostly Rus sians. It was further said that the Chinese occnpieil fortified positions, from which they are bombarding the allies in a murderous manner." A from Tokio said Gen. a maguchi/i'eports that the Chinese haye not abajodoned hope of retaking Pekin, and tjmit 9,000 men with 15 guns were advancing toward Pekin from Shang Tung, probably intending to cut the allies' communications. The French Consul at Shanghai wired that Emperor Kwang Hsu and Prince Tuan are now in the province of Shan Si. A dispatch from London said "the allies, resuming aggressive operations, have taken the district west of Pekin. This statement, based on Chinese authority, is cabled from Shanghai. From the same place comes the state ment that Li Hung Chang has wired the empress dowager at Hsian Fu, request ing the arrest of Prince Tuan and the disarmament of the Boxers, in order to give him an opening for negotations with the powers. "Evidence has been received nere," says the Shanghai correspondent of the "Standard,", "going to show that Gen. Yung Lu was the real author of the anti foreign outbreak, the empress dowager, Prince Tuan and the others all having been persuaded by him to take an ex treme attitude, while he stood aside and awaited developments."' American refugee missionaries in Amoy are anxious to return to the inter ior; but the United States consul has forbidden them to do so, and urges them to go to the Philippines or to return to America. Shanghai advices say that consular 1 opinion there looks upon Japanese action in the landing of troops at Amoy. de spite the protest of tne consuls, as similar to that of Russia at New Chwang. the whole indicating a tendency to a parti tion of the empire. Officers who arrived ta Tien Tsin, lately, from Pekin report that General Chaffee, commanding the American forces in China, is making all the neces sary preparations to maintain 15,000 men through the winter. Fifteen of the American wounded, in cluding the marines wounded during the siege of the legations, have arrived at Tien Ttin by boat from Pekin. An Interesting Letter. Leo Gross, son of Charles Gross of 1507 Locust street, Allegheny, is a member of Company D, Ninth Infantry. He lias written his father an account of the bat tle of Tien-Tsin, in which he took part Incidentally he gives his opinion of the conduct of some of the allied troops. | The letter is dated Tien-Tsin, July 14, and was received by Mr. Gross an Thurs day last. The letter follows: "I guess by the time you receive this note yon will have heard about onr fir-'t battle, and it was fierce. I don't know but I think lam pretty lucky, as I did not receive a wound, although I was hit in the leg by pieces of shells bursting. I lost no blood, but our boys got it proper and the English and Japs suffered aw fully. Well, here goes to tell about my first time under fire. We landed in China July 7 and lay in the harbor three days. Then we moved up the river to the new city of Tien-Tsin and lay up in a building captured by the Germans It is about five miles from the old town. The night of the 12th three companies of us were ordered out on the right of the firing line with the United States marines, and English. French and Russians to hold the railroad station, which is about a mile from the Chinese, who had the eight-inch gun trained on us. "About 8 oclock on the morning of tne 13th. when we were eating breakfast, a shell lauded among us, and, sorry to say, it killed two of our boys, wounded seven, and the marines and English had three killed and eight wounded. We were or dered over to the left of the line to help hold the gate, and I don't see how we ever got away alive, for we were sur rounded. Colonel Liacum ordered a charge. We started with the Japs and the English followed We had gone about a hundred yards when our colors went down. The Colonel grabbed them and started to the front, and then it was that he got killed. About the same time Major Reagan and Captain Showfield got hit. We kept going, and ran out of ammunition, and they called for volun teers. The whole six companies res ponded: we got all we wanted, then started forward, with Lieutenant Law ton leading. He was very cool and brave. He was shot three times before j he gave up, and then he was cheering his men. "We got within a 100 yards of the wall, and were ordered to halt, for the Japs had got into the city. "Thefight lasted 24 hours, and in that time the loss to Americans was 96 killed and wounded and to all the allied forces was about 2,000 killed and wounded. The Chinese loss was about 50,000. We marched into the city on themorninif of the 15th, and it was and awful sight. The Chinese were piled five and six high—men women and children. We captured the arsenal, the mint full of silver and big guns to sell, but we are not allowed to take away anything. "You can talk about your Ger man army for bravery, but they did not dare to make a charge across the field: they are all right in a trench, but they never charged under the fierce fire of the Chinese. The Russians and French are about the Same, but the French refused to advance. The Japs are the best fight ers on earth. I know they could give us a good, hard fight. The English could not iet within 200 yards of us, and they were very kind and good to us. and their officers treat us tine. When we were carrying our wounded from the field the French refused us water, so you know what our boys think of them. "The English have the native troops of China, and also some from India. Well, they had to lash the Indians to the front. "I am feeling fine and am in good health." The McCall Reunion. The sixth annual reunion of the Mc- Call's was held at the home of Curtis Wick, near W. Sunbury, and was not only well attended, but well enjoyed by everyone present. Long before the noon hour, some five or six hundred smiling faces could be seen moving' about in the grove, which the Wick family had so neatly and comfortably prepared. Just before the people were called up on to pfertake of a meal that surely did credit to all the ladies that helped in its preparation, Rev. McDonald of Alle gheny offered a short prayer, after which a committee of 40 waited upon the company with such rarefies that no one could refuse. After dinner the meeting was called to order by Allen McCall. J. M. Painter welcomed everyone in a most pleasing manner, showing some of the many glories of our great Nation and refer ing to the friendly nature of those that were to entertain us. W. C. Findley responded with his usual easy manner that entertains as well as instructs all those those that hear him. Able ad dresses were made by John Coulter. A. G. Williams, Nelson H. Thompson. Rev. Breaden, Samuel Glenn and Howard Painter. Good music was furnished by the W. Sunbury band. The business meeting followed in which Josiah McCall w;is elected presi dent and Miss Fannie Wick, secretary. Late in the afternoon all departed fteling that the day was a happy one and wishing a long life to the McCalls and their reunions. SECRETARY. A Chinese Census. For two and a half centuries the tail has been wagging the dog in the Celes tial Empire. The ruling dynasty Man chnrian, the Emperor and those dictat ing in his nann*. representatives of a minority, of say, eight millions in a total of four hundred millions. How many people there are in China can, however, no more be stated ap proximately with ordinary presump tion as a basis, than it can definitely with anything official to go upon. It is true that in 1842 the Pekin authorities issued, what they termed, an official statement of the population by provin ces. Forty years later, or in 1882, there was another publication, ostensibly going into detail after the usual census fashion. But the inconsistencies, incon gruities and general hap-hazard manner characterizing these emanations, stamp ed them upon a par with all the utteran ces which the Chinese official succeeds in inducing himself to father. He views an authoritative statement, hav ing to do within his province, as merely calling for the expression of his own opinion. Any award of public funds to him is not to his notion a compensation for duties performed, but a present in ap preciation of his personal loyalty to those above him. The contemplation of a division of what may come to him never enters his head. Besides, it is not at all necessary as he. of himself, knows all that should be known rela tive to his bailiwick. To acknowledge nedid not, by calling upon others to assist him in ascertaining, would be to confess a falling short of the standard, and thereby breed no end of trouble for himself. So, whatever may be asked of him in the way of data, is at once for warded, the exceeding simplicity of the system of aggregation and compilation avoiding all excuse for delay. Such a thing as a house to house can vas, and an enumeration, however mea gre in actual detail, has never been known throughout China. To attempt it would straightway cause trouble, every Chinaman thinking it a new scheme to extort money and conducting himself accordingly. Some outside authorities estimate the population of the Empire as high as 450,000,000—others as low as:500.000.000. Between these totals may, or may not, be fairly correct. Journeying by the Yangstee, through what has been well termed the Mississippi Valley of China, making side trips up and down its numerous tributaries: later, taking in the Southern Cantonese districts, and subsequently those north from Hankow to Tien-Tsin. the traveler would regard the higher estimate as not excessive. But after the trio of tremendous stretches from Pekin —the one due west to Kashgar. the second northwest over the Caravan route to Kiakhta, and the third straight north to the continence of the Sheika with the Amoor, the lesser figure would seem the more warranted. The Chinese Empire in its entirety is a gigantic thing topographically, extending as it does from the eighteen th to the fifty-fourth degree north, and from the seventy-second east. Three thousand miles one way and 4,000 the other. Four and a quarter million square miles, or nearly a million more than our own total area. The two provinces in the South. Kwang-Tnng and Kwang-Se. over which Li-Hung-Chang ot present exer cises despotic sway as Governor Gen eral or Vicerov, have an aggregated area of 158.000 miles—a territory larger than Ohio. Illinois and Michigan com bined—and an estimated population of 35,000,000, which is greater tliaD the total of cur population west of the Al leghany Mountains. Canton and Swatow are in Kwang- Tnng and the province is renowned for its silk products. The province of Pechilli, in which are both Pekin and Tien-Tsin, has an area of 00,000 square miles —equal, say, to that of New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts —and a population of 20,000,000, or three times that of the States named. Sze-Chuen, in the west, is the largest province in the Empire, having an area of 170,000, square miles—exceeding that of New England and the Middle States —and a population of 70,000,000, or equal to that of our entire country. It, like Kwang-Tnng, is noted for the char acter and extent of silk produced. Hoo- Pih, in Central China, is another big province with 70,000 square miles and 35.000,000 population. Hankow is its great city. Snantung,in the Northeast, with fifty odd thousand square miles, has a population of 36,000,000, while •Keang-Su and Keang-Si. in the South, Fukien, in the Southeast. Nyan-W<i. iri the East, and Hunan, in Middle China, all exceed 20,000,000 population. On the Grand Canal. One of our girls now "doing" Europe, writes home as follows: — "I am delighted with Europe. Rural England was fascinating. We visited Warwick, Kennilworth, Stratford, Shrewsbury, Leamington, Blenheim, Slough, Stoke Pogis, Windsor and Ox ford before we went to London. We were in London one week. Then 'spent two weeks in Paris- the most beautiful city we've seen. Since leaving Paris we've been in Turin, Genoa, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Herculaneum, Pompeii, Vesu vius, Florence and Venice. To attempt to tell anything we have seen or done of course you know is impossible, but I am sure I can bore you to death when I re turn. I am wild over scenery— cathedrals, art galleries and historical ruins. Other sights and visi6ns come under "sub heads.' I think, however, that Venice most completely enthralled me: for Venice has a charm all her own; a charm which is living, personal, sinking deep into your heart and binding with a spell —a Circe-like enchantment —from which there is 110 escape. St. Mark's takes your breath away by its radiance, if you come upon its full voluptuous glow from the cold Gothic spirituality of the northern cathedrals. About its aspect there is nothing in the least Christian. Utterly barbaric in its splendor, it is a shining temple of gold mosaics, with wondrous blendings of translucent marbles, opalescent pillars and glistening domes. I kept thinking all the time of Ruskin's description in his "Stones of Venice." We spent one whole day in a gondola winding in and out the many canals. The Grand Canal is so wonderful. It is lined with such somber, melancholy palaces, which have just enough sweet and sorrowful memories clinging to them to give the touch of shadow which throws the prevailing vividness of Ven ice into high relief. The nights of Venice! How can they be written of 1 First the gorgeous sun set leaving its afterglow of golden haze oyer the waters; then the long Italian twilight: then are the gondolas with their twinkling lights lights, and the gayly lighted barges occupied by strol ling "singers glidiug over the purple shadowed waters; myriads of twinkling, jeweled lanterns hung from balconies and windows, deep shaded lights glow steadily from arches and piliars. while the waiving torches of the merry-makers complete the pictnresqueness of the scene. There is color to fascinate a Ru bens, and shadows so haunting, so mov ing, ?o alive, they would baffle a Rem brandt. Really, I could rave and rave over Venice. I expect you think its hot snn touched me. We reach Lucerne in the morning and have a week in Switzerland. Then through the Tyrol, Germany, Holland and Belgium. Sarvers Station. Rev. McClure, pastor of the Freeport Presbyterian church will deliver an ad dress on "A Tour on the Continent and the British Isles." in Buffalo church on Sept. 10th, at IMO p. in., admission free.

A dispatch from Pretoria, dated Aug. 24, gives details of the execution on Friday of Lieutenant Cordua of the Transvaal artillery, convicted by a court-martial of breaking his parole in plotting to abduct Lord Roberts and kill British officers. Cordua walked fearlessly to the gar den behind the jail. At his own request he was not bound and sat in a chair with folded arms. He told Captain Barchard. commanding the firing party, that he was ready and 10 bullets struck him. The body was buried near the spot where the Lieutenant fell. Lord Robert's dispatch from Pretoria, of late date gives an interesting survey of the situation in the Transvaal. Gen. Buller, who appears to be leivding the new advance against the Boers east of Pretoria, has arrived within fifteen uiiles of Belfast on the Delagoa Bay Railway line, about twelve miles from Machadodorp, where the Boers have concentrated. Gen. French is in the same neighborhood, from which it may be inferred that important fighting is near at hand. Gen. Baden Powell has been engaged with Gen. Grobler north east of Pretoria, and is reported to have driven him across the Pienaars River after an all-day fight. Martial Law in Pretoria. If any further proof were needed that the Boers who continue their resistance to the British arm}- are to be treated with rigorous severity such proof is furnished by the execution of Lieuten ant Cordua. recently convicted of con spiring to abduct General Roberts and to murder a number of British officers. The plot was a ridiculous one. It never had any chance of success. It was so preposterous in all its details that it is difficult to credit the sanity of the man who concocted it. Lord Rob erts himself made light of-it lroui the first and deprecated the importance which had been given to it. All the same, Cordua was tried by court-mar tial and having been found guilty was sentenced to death. Lord Roberts con firmed the sentence and its execution took place without delay. There is little doubt that this course of procedure was followed under posi tive instructions from headquarters. Lord Roberts would not have confirmed the death sentence had he been left to himself. He is opposed to severity at all times and it must have been particu larly distasteful to him to be severe tinder the circumstances of this case. In confirming Cordna's death sentence he must have been carrying out the express wishes of the British Govern ment and the incident must be intended as a demonstration to the Boers'of what they have to expect hereafter if they persist in their refusal to submit. This is a line of policy which it can not be denied that the British Govern ment is entitled to adopt, according to its idea of what is expedient, but the fact that it should have adopted it shows that it despairs of it being able to bring the Boers to terms by any other means than the uncompromising application of superior force. There can only be one result. The tenacious resistance of the Boers must ultimately be crushed, but what kind of memories are those which this procedure will leave behind them? The Transvaal will have to be populat ed over again before it can be converted into a peaceful and prosperous Bntish colony. It will be a long time till then. —Phii'a Inquirer. Hill School, Franklin twp., No. 4. ED. CITIZKN: —Knowing that you hare a kind feeling towards the common schools, we beg a little space in your jiaper for a few notes concerning the above named school and the others in the township. The schools will begin H seven months' term Monday, Sept. —, with the following teachers: Mr. Carnahan, Hickory Corner: W. E. Coop er, Ridge; Ralph Mackey, Dick; Lida Lepley, Mile Run; and" yonr humble servent, the Hill. The board of directors is: Wm. Scott, (the -veteran of nil), Stewart Wilson, Cyrus Weigle, Josiah Stephenson. John Wigton and Charles Mac-key. The general opinion is that the teachers and directors are worthy, and are entitled to the unselfish support of the patrons. If every person does just what he can for the success of the schools, there will be no doubt of the result. Let every one cast aside his prejudices, and fall in line tor the up building and improvement of the com mon schools, for they are the nearest to the people, and the great majority of the boys and girls will never be able to get further than the common school. As a common institution, the school should receive more attention, care, and earnest support than any other institu tion in the community. Does it'! Most people, no doubt, watch the mental growth of their children with more pride and interest than they do the physical development of a fine colt, iamb or calf, and every sensible parent is more willing to aid. encourage, and remunerate the teacher of his children than he is the watcher and trainer of his dumb brutes. Both things are proper. May be some parents never take a thought as to how they can assist the teacher, and make the school a grand success. We offer the following suggestions: 1. See that the children are in school every day Ctuld you attend church just on communion days, and get the "benefit of the whole year's service? Some try to. 2. Question the children about the school and their studies, and assist them all yon can. You can do much. A word of command and encouragement from a parent will work wonders. 3. When children carry home com plaints, reserve judgment and be charitable until investigation is made. See the teacher privately about the trouble. "That teacher is no good and ought to be fired" is unjust generally, and should not be uttered ouly in the presence of the directors, for some slighting remark made in the presence of children will lose the teacher their good will. •t. Children, who run around at night, and teachers too. until late hours, are not fit for the school room next day. Loss of nervous energy impairs the mental faculties, and, in that condition, you could not study and think if you wanted to. Did you ever stay up late at night T How much good were you nest day? Observant teachers have often seen the result of pupils' running around too much at night. 5. If you think the teacher is faithful and doing his duty, let hiui know of it. Praise a person when he needs it. We have heard of a man that would cradle a half more wheat in a day, if you would show some appreciation of his work. Gratitude often goes further than money, especially the teacher's pelf. Nov,', kind reader, if you do not agree with us, all right, we will leave the matter to impartial judges, and will abide their decision. What we ask lor ourselves we ask for every other teacher in the township, and. if patrons, direc tors and teachers work in unison, what a good term of school we v ill have! it was our pleasure to teach the Hill school daring the winter of '79 and 'HO, and we recall the following names of scholars that attended then in the old house: Charlie, Thomas, John, Mary" and Lizzie Hmdman, Annie Stickle, Susie, Emma and Samuel Campbell. Lewis Rohrer, Willie Baker, Wilbert, Miles, Marion and Addison Hocken berry, Frank, Israel and Mary Badger, Annie and Maggie Ripper, John, Dessa and Verna Scott, Cassie Albert, John and Joseph Sarver, Elmer, Rate and Ella StClair. Many changes have taken place since then. Many have married and their children will go to school at the same hill this coming winter. Others are still in single blessedness, but will in due time do their duty in this i matter. We believe there has been brtt one death among them, and that was ac cidental. At that time we believe that Simon Stickle, M. F. McCandless. John Earkley, James Stephenson, Frederick Pttough. and James Riddle were the township directors, and D. F. McKee, the Co. Supt. That was the winter of the deep snow and consequent high water, and, if it had not been for the kindness of Robert Hindman, since dead, many a morning we would not have gotten across tbe Hat between his place and Homer McCandless'. Boys and girls, don't yon distinctly remember Sammie Campbell's favorite declama tion—"The Patter of the ShingleV" Those times are forever gone. You i are now successfully and patiently carrying the burdens of life, and it Is a satisfaction to us to believe that we contributed something towards your success. • May the next 20 years bring as much success to the boys and girls of the pres- j ent. We will change the snject by giv- j ing you some bits of information under : the head of ODDS AND ENDS. Franklin township was first taken i from Muddycreek twp.. and in 1854, it; was increased to its present size by add- : ing land from Center and Brady twps. About 1803. the first log school house was built on the Stevenson farm. John Thompson was the first teacher, and Charles Sullivan was the second. The oldest church is the Baptist church, at Isle, and was organized by eleven members in 1819. Rev. Tibbet was the first pastor. In a primary school, not long ago. the teacher undertook to convey to her pupils an idea of the use of the hyphen. She wrote on the board, 'birds'-nests." and pointing to the hyphen, asked the school, "What is that for?" After a short pause a young son of the Emerald Isle piped out, 'Plaze, ma'am, for the bnrd to roosht on'.'' A plumb-line is first mentioned in Amos 7 7, and was used by the Lord. Absalom shaved and cut his lia ; r but once a year. Figs are recommended in the Bible for boils and were nsed by Hezekiah. Evidence goes to show that Gen. Grant and Jeff. Davis were second cousins. Wm. Simpson was the father of John Simpson, who was the father of Hannah Simpson, who was the mother of U. S. Grant: also Wiu. Simpson was the fath er of Mary Simpson, who was the moth er of Samuel Davis, who was the father of Jefferson Davis. It is stated that it costs the people of U. S. §22,000,000 to be born; $300,000,000 to get married; $75,000,000 to be buried and $900,000,000 to get drunk. The Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City is the most perfect whispering gal lery in the world. The dropping of a pin into a silk hat at one end of the huge structure is distinctly heard at the other. It is said that dew will not form on some colors. While a yellow board will be covered with dew. a red or a black one beside it will be perfectly dry. The expression, "Mind your P a and Q's," arose from an old custon off inn keepers marking tffiwn the scores of their customers on the wall or door with a piece of charcoal, "Q" stood for quart, "P" for pint, and a hint to mind one's P's and Q's was a reminder that be was drinking to much. Don't shake your head at the follow ing clipping; "The best thing the legis lates could do is to pass an act pen sioning veteran teachers. Possibly it will do so It certainly should. A teacher, who has devoted his life to the service of the commonwealth is as de serving of a pension as the man who served his country in time of war. The one is a patriot, the other prepares pa triots." "What is the real good?" I asked in musing mood. ORDER, said the law court; KNOWLEDGE, said the school; TRUTH, said the wisemau; PLEASURE, said the fool; LOVE, said the maiden; BEAUTY, said the page; FREEDOM, Mid the dreamer; HOME, said the sage; FAME, said the soldier; EQUITY, said the seer. Spake my heart full sadly — "The answer is not here." Then within my bosom. Softly this-I heard — ' Each heart holds the secret — KINDNESS it the word." G. P. W. Prospect. Max sends compliments to Joe Cosity and, would be pleased to meet him. On Sept. Ist 1900. and thereafter in the town of Prospect, all vehicles single and double will be allowed to pass through town with an "ordinary pace." You will not be compelled after afore said date to rival the "Lightning Ex press" or to raise the drat that one ihinks a "sand storm" had "cycloned" the town. When two rigs meet, you can pass each other by each turning to the right no mutter how paradoxical it may seem to some people. Coon linn Is seem to be on tap, The leader is laud-lord cap. The hunters have won some fame. Not so sure wanted "game." Mr. Geo. Walton of Beaver spent a day at his uncle's J. O. Dodds.

How kindly the influence of a man is felt whp is courageous enough to think and enough buck-bone tosay what he thinks. The "Big eat" of the Lutherans last week was enjoyed by young and old, a reasonable time was spent and a sump tions feast served. Newt and Dick are thinking of taking shares in Stamford creamery.

We hear that pitcher Waddellis again a hern, what is wrong with Pittsburg? If Butler needs a situation for a park summer hotel, or sanitarium at the end of the car line, they T'ill find one, one quarter of a mile from Prospect, a place' with more advantages than any other place in the country, an ideal place, which wouldihave been utilized ere this, had we had aR.

The lloatnianN Song. iAs sang at the late reunion at Blairs ville. Published by request. > Years have come and passed away, Golden locks have turned to grey, Golden ringlets once so fair. Time has changed to silvery hair; Yes, I've neared the river's side, Soon I'll launch upon the tide. Soon my boat with noiseless oar Safe will pass to yon bright shore. I have trod the deck with pride. Held the helm the lioat to guide. Blew the trumpet loud and shrill For the man the lock to fill; But the old canal is gone. Of its locks there's scarce a stone Left to mark the place of yore Where the mighty waters roared. Oh' these thoughts with magic power Take me back to boyhood's hour, From the mountain to the river Scenes that are past and gone forever; Now the boatmen, one by one. Take their place beneath the stone. We shall meet them here no more, But we shall on yonder shore. Soon I'll be among the blest, Where the weary are at rest. Soon I'll tread the golden shore. Singing praises evermore. Now my boat is on the stream. I can see the waters gleam; Soon I'll be where angels roam. Dear old friends, I'm going home. CHORUS. Let me see a boat again. W T itb its towline stretched and strain ed, Let me tread the deck once more Ere I pas3to yon bright shote. E. G. STITT. DEATHS. BARR —In Allegheny City. Aug. 25, 1900. Vincent R.
