declamation with a complacency which
assuredly was not shared by his audi
tors.
One fine day a poor blind man was
seated on the Pont Royal in Paris, wait
ing for alms, The passers-by were be
stowing their money liberally, when a
handsome carriage stopped near the
mendicant, and a celebrated oculist
stepped out. He went up to the blind
man, examined his eyeballs, and said:
" Come with me ;' I will restore your
Eight."
The beggar obeyed ; the operation was
successful; and the journals of the day
were filled with praises of the doctor's
skill and philanthropy. The ex-blind
man subsisted for some time on a small
aura of money which his benefactor had
given him; and when it wasspent he
returned to his former post on the 1 1 ont
Royal. Scarcely, however, had he re
sumed his usual appeal, when a police
man laid his hand on him, and ordered
him to desist, on pain of being taken
into custody.
" You mistake," said the mendicant,
producing a paper ; " here is my legal
license to beg, granted by the magis
trates."
" Stuff!" cried the official; " this li
cense is for a blind man, and you seem
to enjoy excellent sight."
Our hero, in despair, ran to the ocu
list's house, intending to seek compen
sation for the doubtful benefit conferred
on him; but the man of science had
gone on a tour through Germany, and
the aggrieved patient found himself
compelled to adopt the hard alternative
of working for his support, and aban
doning the easy life of a pro'f'essed beg
gar.
Some years since there appeared on
the boards of a Parisian theatre an ex
cellent and much applauded comic ac
tor, named Samuel. Like many a wiser
man before him, he fell deeply in love
with a beautiful girl, and wrote to offer
his hand, heart, and his yearly salary
of 8,000 francs. A flat refusal was re
turned. Poor Samuel rivalled his com
rade, the head tragedian of the compa
ny, in his dolorous expressions of des
pair,. but when, after a time,
,his excite
ment cooled down, he dispatched a
friend, a trusty envoy, with a commis
sion to try and soften the hard-heated
beauty. Alas, it was in vain !
" She does not like you," said the can
did ambassador ; " she says you are ug
ly; that your eyes frighten her; and,
besides, she is about to be married to a
young man whom she loves."
Fresh exclamations of despair from
Samuel.
" Come," said his friend, after musing
for a "if this marriage be, as I
suspect, all a sham, you may have her
yet."
" Explain yourself."
" You know that, not to mince the
matter, you have a, frightful squint."
" I know it."
" Science will remove that defect by
an easy and almost painless operation."
No sooner said than done. Samuel
underwent the operation for strabismus,
and it succeeded perfectly. His eyes
were now straight and handsome; but
the marriage, after all, was no sham—
the lady became another's, and poor
Samuel was forced to seek consolation
in the exercise of his profession. He
was to appear in his best character; the
curtain rose, and loud hissing saluted
him.
" Samuel! Where is Samuel! " . We
want Samuel!" was vociferated by pit
and gallery.
When silence was partly restored, the
actor advanced to the footlights, and
said—" Here I am, gentlemen ; I am
Samuelr •
" Out with the impostor !" was the
cry ; and such a tumult arose, that the
unlucky actor was forced to fly from the
stage. He had lost the grotesque ex=
pression, the comic mask, which used
to set the house in a roar ; he could no
longer appear in his favorite characters.
The operation for strabismus had quite
changed his destiny ; he was unfitted
for tragedy, and was forced, after a time,
to take the most insignificant parts,
which barely afforded him a scanty sub
sistence. " Let well alone," is a wise
admonition. "Let bad alone," may
sometimes be a wiser.
YxTlXth Congress---lst Session.
Senator Stewart, of Nevada, discussed
the Reconstruction report on the 24th
ult.' He declared for universal suffrage,
based upon universal amnesty.
Senator Johnson moved to strike out
the third section, disfranchising rebels
until 1870. The whole matter was then
laid over.
- The House took up the bill to contin
ue the Freedmen's Bureau for two years.
The bill was so amended as to forbid the
restoration of land confiscated and as
signed to the freedmen, when, under
the operation of the previous question,
the amendment was adopted„ and the
bill laid over for a few days.
The resolution relative to the appoint
ment of cadets to West Point, passed
the Senate on the 25th. It prohibits the
appointment of cadets from among those
who took a voluntary part in the rebell
ion.
The House took up the bill to equal
ize soldiers' bounties, and passed it by
W
a vote of 189 to 2. e were in error in
stating last week that this bill passedon
the 23d.
The bill provides :
1. That in place of any grant of land
or other bounty, there shall be paid to
every soldier and sailor who faithfully
served as such, and was, or may be hon
orably discharged from such service, the
sum of $lOO per year for the time he
served from April 12, 1861, to April 19,
186-5. If discharged on account of
wounds received in the line of duty, he
is to be paid up to the full term for
which he enlisted. If the soldier was
killed, or died from wounds received in
line of duty, or after his discharge for
such causes, and before the expiration
of his term of enlistment, the money
goes to his widow, if he have one, not
re-married, and if -there be no widow,
then the money goes to the minor child
or children of the deceased, who may
be under 16 years of age.
2. From this bounty so computed, all
sums received from the United States, a
State, county, township, or borough, or
from any voluntary association, over
and above $lOO per year, or $8 33 1-3
per month for the term of his service,
are to be deducted, so that no person
will receive more than $lOO bounty per
year. Prize money paid to sailors is al
so to be deducted.
3. But no person who served as a sub
stitute, or who was a captured prisoner
of war at the time of his enlistment; or
who was discharged on his own applica
tion prior to April 9, 1865, unless with a
view of re-enlistment, or to accept pro
motion, and who did re-enlist, or re
ceive promotion after suchdischarge, is
entitled to the benefit of the act. And
no minor discharged on application of
parents or guardiq us, can receive this
bounty.
4. Allapplications for the benefits of
this act must be made under oath, stat
ing specifically the entire amount of
bounty received from any source wriat,
ever. And perjury in this case will be
punished rigidly.
5. When application for the benefit of
this act is made through any agent or
attorney, the post office address of the
claimant must be given, and the amount
of commission, or fee, the agent is to re
ec'ive for his services. Said fee not to
exceed $5. The amount duo the claim-
ant to-be sent direct to him, less the - Yee
of the agent oa attorney
6. Any agerft or attorney receiving
more than $5 for such - services, to be
fined not more than $l,OOO, or impris
oned not more than one year, and to be
forever disqualified from -prosecuting
any claim against the Government.
7. No soldier or sailor can assign, sell,
or transfer his discharge, descriptive,
list, or other papers, for the purpose of
conveying his interest in the bounty
given by this act. And all such assign
ments, sales, or transfers, heretofore
made are declared null and void.
8. All applications for the benefits of
this act must be made within two years
from its passage.
This strikes us as being a most just
and excellent law.

OF CUttiBERLAND COUNTY.
AT LAST Fenianism is on the inm
page and Canada is invaded in earnest.
About 500 0 or 4000 Fenians are reported
to have crossed Lake Erie last Friday
night and captured Fort Erie. A skir
mish took place at a place called Ridg
way, between the British and the Fen
ians, in which several lives were lost.
It is a rash act, one to be deeply regret
ted, and must end disastrously to the
invaders.
A STORY WITH A MORAL
The scene of the following "o'er true
Story" is laid in New England.
Sometime in the early part of the
present century a man of great possess
ions died, and left his vast property to
his five sons. This property was chiefly
real estate, comprising several town
ships in area, rich in timber, water pow
er, mines, and quarries. The property
was equally divided among the broth
ers ; or rather, their interests were equal,
but to be enjoyed in common. The in
crease, by improvement, by develop
ment of hidden resources, and enhance
ment of values by the progress of the
surrounding country, was to accrue to
all alike.
For several yeam the business was
conducted with little bickering, and the
brothers greW rich in available wealth.
There were differences of opinion about
the means to be employed in developing
the mines, quarries, and so forth ; and
they were not quite a, unit as to the pol
icy of the general management of the
property. Yet their differences were
accommodated in some way without an
open breach, for a considerable period.
But there came a time when these lit
tle differences of opinion changed char
acter and diverged into wide disagree
ments. • Three of the brothers agreed
that the culture of the soil was sufficient
to render the people to whom leases of
land were given, prosperous and happy.
The remaining two insisted that the la
tent power of the rivers and streams
ought to be directed and controlled for
labor-saving purposps—the mines of iron
and the qqarries of valuable stone de
veloped, ifi even pace with the culture
of the surface soil. They argued, that
by opening mines and. quarries, and
building mills and factories, a market
would be created for farm produce near
er home; and in this way the tenants
on their lands wouldbe greatly enriched.
So it came to pass that the three bro
thers first named combined to enforce
their policy. And thus the breach in
the family became wide and irreconcila
ble. Coupled with the • stipulation of
joint occupancy, was the condition thst
all differences were to be adjusted by an
amicable vote, all parties being pres6nt.
As may be guessed, the three brothers
succeeded in establishing their policy,
and the dissenting two, abiding by the
condition 'of the will, acquiesced, but
not without vigorous protest.
At the end of the first year under the
rule of the three brothers, the books
were posted, and a general survey of the
field made by the firm. A gqod degree
of prosperity was found to exist, and a
fair balance of profit found standing to
their credit. The minority pointed oult
the fact that nearly every manufactuted
article used by the firm and their ten
ants was purchased abroad at ruinous
prices, by which policy the sarpl us earn
ings were carried away from the prop
erty, and the aggregate prjfits greatly
reduced. They still urged a self-sup
porting policy, but without effect.
Years passed on. The brothers grew
rich and prosperous. The two dissent
ing still insisting that the concern pros
pered in spite of a bad policy, rather
than byv virtue of a wise one. To this
the three returned by pointing to the
cash book and balance sheet, and affirm
ing that - such prosperity was never seen
before.
"But," said the two brothers in mi
nority, " by developing the mines, wat
er-power, and quarries, our prosperity
would be still grander."
" Look around you," said the three
brothers ; " all this prosperity comes
through our management. All the glo
ry, all the riches, all the credit of this
belongs to us, and our management !"
So this years pasSed on, the three bro
thers acting in concert. But there were
troubles, nevertheless. The three look
ed upon their tenants as so many ma
chines 'for their aggrandizement. They
reduced the wages of labor to meet the
constant drain upon their purse for man
ufactured articles purchased elsewhere.
At last some of their tenants who leased
mineral lands, and had embarked their
capital in developing them, found them
selves ignored by their patrons, and un
able to compete with other, more dis
andr,wealthitg partioa in the same
business. - So the crash came. Hun
dreds went down into bankruptcy. The
two brothers protested against the policy
of degrading labor, by reducing its hire
to starvation point.
"Behold," - replied the governing
three, "the wonderful general prosper
ity 'of , .our,demesue ! We are famed, at
honie Iltul abroad, for our thrift,,and our
progress. All the glory of. success, all
credit for progress belongs to our policy
of management."
So time passed on, and each year add
ed new bitterness to the strife. Some
times the two brothers in Minority were
almost ready to resort to open resistance
to cure the evil"; which thickened as the
days went by. Happily they did noth
ing so foolish. But they - fought the bat
tle steadily, and forced the adoption of
a more liberal policy in some respects.
Meantime, the tenants and property
hOlders conferred together and divided
into parties—some for the three broth
ers, and some for the two. It was ob
servajle that those who had shown most
thrift and enterprise sided with the dis
senting two; while those who fell be
low them in those respects, who lived
from hand to mouth, who patronized the
corner groceries and bar-rooms, almost
invariably joined their voices to those
of the three brothers, in glorification of
their management.
At last, emboldened by long rule, the
three brothers planned new schemes of
aggrandizement. They promulgated
the doctrine of class. They affirmed
that Capital should command labor, and
that food, clothing, and shelter for life,
were full equivalents for labor; thit
the patron could not labor without deg
radation, and that the necessity for la
bor detracted from the dignity of man
hood.
Against these startling doctrines the
two dissenting brothers prote'sted. They
were promptly seconded by the fore
handed and thrifty, and by all those
who regarded labor as beneficent. The•
battle grew warm ; and finally resulted
in the disaffection of one of the three
brothers whose management was trum
peted as having achieved all the glory
and prosperity of the business.. This
disaffection enabled the minority to mo
dify the policy' of the concern some
what, but at no time did it enable them
to control the operation Of tie business.
However, these modifications led to
new prosperity. "See," said the two
brothers, " how a practicalrendering of
our views has quickened the entire busi
ness."
" We have always managed this con
cern," repliedthe three brothers. "Look
around you: all this life, energy, and
success, is the fruit of our pOlicy.: We
are the authors Of all - this giandeur."
Soon the three brothers became recon
ciled, and the trio carried matters with
a high hand. The oppressed laborer
grew sullen, and there were certain
signs of impending trouble. The adhe
rents of the three brothers maltreated
the adherents of the dissenting two, re
fusing to tolerate differences of opinion,
and fomenting dissensions. But at last
there arose a difference between the
three brothers, and it widened to that
extent that on one annual settlement
day the two dissenting brothers fairly
deposed the triumvirate, and took the
management of the business into their
own hands.
Then th storm came down. The
agreeing two of the formerly s united
three brothers declared that they would
never subinit to the rule. of the new
heads of the business. They resort
to high words and threats ; and finally
withdrew from the firm, demanding an
equal division of the property. To this
the new chiefs replied, that to divide
was to destroy, and that it must not be
done. Upon this, the retiring two set
about inflaming the passions of their
former adherents, and finally resorted to
force. They seized upon the property
of the firm, and made war upon the
new chiefs and their adherents. The
contest was long, variable and sangui
nary. But at last the rebellious party
was disarmed and put down by the
strong arm. But it was a notable fact,
that during all the trouble, the business
of the firm prospered as it never pros
pered in the palmy days of peace under
the rule of the three brothers.
" Bee," said the new chiefs,'after the
strife seemed closed, " how the business
has proipered even in spite of your re
bellion. Labor is emancipated, the ay.;
it equality of our tenants is established,
and now let us join hands and energies
in making our business the grandest in
the land."
" You are fools and asses !" replied the
discomfitted rebels. "It was our policy
that built up the unexampled prosperi
ty of the business. - All the glory and
credit is due to us."
"Not so," said the new chiefs. " Your
policy was to rule or ruin. When you
were fairly unseated you rushed to arms,
and filled the country with mourning
and lamentation. If your policy had
any glory, it is more than eclipsed by
the shame and disgraCe of your bad faith
in warring against the common inter
est."
" Liars and dogs!" replied the subju
gated rebels. You have involved the
firm in stupendous debt. You oppress
our tenants with taxes. You have vio
lated the provisions of our father's will.
You are dogs and destructives ! You
will never have good times until we
take the reins."
" But had you acquiesced in our suc
cession to the management, none of
these things would have happened," re
plied the new chiefs. "We had to bor
row money to whip you into submission
to the provisions of the will of our fath
er. It is notsermitted to any man to
advantage himself of his own wrong."
" Rumps, liars, and dogs !" replied the
penitent rebels; 'the business owes all
its prosperity and success to our man
agement. It will go to the devil, unless
we are-reinstated.'
MORAL.-IF A MAN CHEATS YOU ONCE,
BLAME HIM. IF HE CHEATS YOU TWICE,
BLAME YOURSELF.
An exchange, alluding to the habit of
Republican papers in attributing the
barbarism of the Southern chivalry to
I. I ' m ' 04 M gYsteax_ sigYeTY. JAI/Airea
to what systath must the barbarity of
Pro*, slayer of the Deerings, be attri
buted.
We reply—to,the system of keeping
men in barbarous ignorance of their re
lations to society. This system mised.-
ucates men. Slaveryinisedues,tes men.
Therefore the systems ate identical, be
cause their effects are identical.
It would be ill-natured to refuse to be
amused at the occasional dissertatlcins
upon : " morals" by the editors' of Cop
perhead PaPers. 'The latest stone of
stumbling discovered by that fraternity,
is in the case Of Rev. Madison Evans,
who was shot by Dr. Newland, in Law
rence county, Indiana, for seducing the
Doctor's daughter. We don't know of
anybody who does not say " served him
right," unless it be our friends of the
Warren Mail and the Potter Journal.
The Copperhead papers assert that
Evans was a " political preacher," and
an elector upon the Lincoln ticket in
1864. Of eitherof these facts we know
nothing, save on the " say so" of the
aforesaid papers. Their " say so" is of
doubtful authority ; in other words, we
know no more than we did before. '
But from the moral intended - to be
drawn therefrom we must dissent. To
say that meddling With politics leads
clergymen from the path of virtue, is to
say that "politics" is something utterly
vile. We enter our protest against con
founding politics proper with Copper
headism.
Jeff. Davis complains, through a toady
army surgeon, that'his'daYa and nights
are rendered wretched by the measured
tread and creakini boots of the senti
nels who guard hi§ prison.
So the Copperhead papers make great
ado about this inhumanity on the part
of the military' commander at fortress
Monroe.
Now we cannot avoid stating, and we
do it without fear of successful contra
diction, that the Copperhead press of
the North has made tenfold more .fuis
about this alleged disturbance of the
traitor Davis, than they did over the
murder of our soldiers at Salisbury,
Belle Isle, and Andersonville. In fact,
out of half a dozen papers of that stripe
on file at this office, we are unable to
find a "single sentence condemning the
barbarities of the rebels toward our
helpless soldiers.
But touch Davis, the arch traitor, and
their sympathies are at once aroused.
We would like to believe that Davis
suffers from a stinging conscience, rath
er than from creaking boots. It is to be
hoped that the vigilance of the sentries
will be redoubled. Look out for an es
capade down there,
The latest, best, and by all odds the
profoundest refuge of Copperheads, is
their characterizing' , the Republican
party as an " abolition party."'
In the early days of last March, the
Copperhead Convention which nomina
ted Mester Clymer, very solemnly en
dorsed the amendment to the Constitu
tion abolishing slavery.
There is where the joke comes in.—
But like the tailor]ls wife , when ducked
for indulging in ihe habit of saying
" Scissors," they cry " Scissors !"
We see that the ,leditors of verdigris
papers are -exhuming the long buried
Dr. Nott, who, in Concert with another
surface.. ethnologist, 'once phinished the
scientifle• world with a large book upon
the diversity.of the human race. Since
they have dug the rubbish away and
brought the Doctor to daylight once
more, we hope he will explain the rea
son why white men have black hearts,
and black men white hearts. If some
body could coax the Doctor to carry his
researches a trifle more than skin deep,
he might get into deep water, and so
meet death by drowning.
Gen. WINFIELD Scow died at West
Point, Tuesday morning, May 29. But
few men have occupied so large a space
in the military history of the country,
and his death will be almost universally
regretted. Jae was about eighty years
old.
The Harrisburg Telegraph has grown
into a fine eight column sheet within
the past week. It is now the largest
daily printed in tills State, out of Phil
adelphia. As this evidence of prosper
ity and progress comes right upon the
decapitation of the proprietor by Presi
dent Johnson, the dull-axe party may
see how independent a really enterpris
ing publisher is of official patronage.—
May the paper go on, achieving new
victories and earning fresh laurels.

Campbell, of Delmiir, was appointed to select a
location for the grounds, and to report in one

BBITTER WINE OF IRON.—An exquisite impregna

chalybeate taste, and will not discolor the teeth. It ex
cites languid appetite, gives zest to food. improves di
gestion. increases the strength. steadies the circulation,
takes off muscular flabbiness, removes the pallor of de
bility, gives firmness and precision to the actions of the
nervous system, will , power to endure fatigue and re
sist disease. MAGNETIC Crrßsve OF IRON is new and pe
culiar, differing from the ordinary soluble Citrate, in
containing an equivalent of Protoxide of Iron, in place
of the Ammonia. It is neutral, tasteless, without as
tringency, as prompt and energetic as the Chloride, and
unlike that, induces no local inflammatory action or
headache. Calisaya Bark is preeminent among vegeta
ble tonics, has no equal as a strengthener or •reatora.
