Hood ft Co., Low rll, Mil The only rill In take with Hood's HarsAparllU. Chivalry. During tho dark era of the middle ages, t here arose n school of moral discipline, -the institution of chival ry. While we foi l like looking upon this gloomy period of the world's history with the scorn and con tempt it justly merits, wo enn per ceive the approving smile of Hon von upon those young and daring knights, w ho ho gallantly advanced the cause of i'hi valry. Surrounded with nil tho immoral propensities of thnt inot lmi-ljfous age, theso faith fill knights inculcated Die soundest virl in n now known among mankind. Tho outbursts of tin- spirit of lib erty, honor and religion wore an en ilniiiu' us they woio wonderful. AVondi i ful, indood, it i. that dur ing Midi periods of prolligacy, there nhoiil 1 I'o cherished those exalted sentiment of chivalry. Arising nt the tuin when foudal lords were in supremacy, chivalry still retained some feudal practices. The most praiseworthy element of chivaliie times .mis t he hi:;li esteem in which they held tho female hi x. Tho ro mantic gulluutry towards women left l isting truces upon tho human mind. The principles then advocat ed are now among tho most exalted virtu oh. Among tho characteristic traits of knights were valor, loyalty, court esy, and tnuniticeuco. Loyalty to them mount fidelity to engagements, whether bodily expressed or tacitly implied. No greater breach of loy alty could bo committed than the want of n lover'H tidelity towards the lady ho nerved. Breach of faith was a misdemeanor for which no valor could atone. t Courtesy wan shown not . only iu ' good breeding and true politeness, but in a keen respect for others, even though they bo your most bitter enemies. The couatantduty of all knights was the unselfish and benevolent assistance to the poor of their order, and tho progress of religious liberties. A keen sense of honor, tho distribu tion of justice, and a scorn to evil doers, are additional virtues found in every truo knight. Toprcmoto tho underlying prin ciples of chivalry, four distinct causes exercised th"ir inllueuce. Tho schools for tho instruction of (ho sons of nobility, inculcated iu he youth of the land, the emulation of superior virtues. They vied with each other to please visitors and especially ladies at balls and ban quets. The support this movement gave to the hoveieigns, led them to eucourago chivulric ideas. The Union which tho festivals and tour naments effected, tended to increase their powers and led to the under taking of the crusades to the Holy Land. Tile honorary and substantial priviligos of knighthood, stumped its impress upon its advocates. Their armor and spurs, signifying their rank, were recognized iu for eigu lands as well as 111 their own. Tho achievements of military ex ploits, to which the custonibof chival iy tended, laid another foundation stone for the propagation of knight ly virtues. The promotion which military success brought to tho vie torn, caused tho display of tho the most geuerous virtues of chival ry, nnd offered a high premium to the bruvcHt deeds and tho most dar ing exploits. Tho days of chivalry aro gone. Tho valiant and gallant knights, who so vigorously sought to benefit man kind, aro uow no more. Theso uo blo sous have perished ; their bones have crumbled into dust, but rem nants of the good they have done still remain as eternal monuments to their memory. Thousands upon thousauds of polished American gen tlemen to day raise their huts to the female sex, only ns a relic of knight ly virtues, Many a sympathizing tear is dropped for sonio j.oor soul ingiitf. Many a consoling word iH uttered in time of trouble, which without tho lasting gallautry of Mediaeval knights, would never have touud expression. All praise, till honor, all glory, be to those young knights for the virtues which they exhibited and tho good they accomplished ! Their names and their deeds shall never bo forgotten. peculiar! v beneficial to thoso Rec lions of our country. Such outlets would enlarge the markets for the manufacturing which must surely arise in those localities. Again, the Stato bordering on tho Gulf of Mex ico would bo nearest and most ne cessiblo to this market, and throng) the building of cotton mills, the tie velopmcnt of iron mines, the con struction of iron furnaces, ana the extension of lindustrios, which are now taking place in the new South, they would bo lurnisued witu n more accessible market than could bo found in any other quarter. De- sides it would encourage ship-build inc and tho establishment of ship yards in Mobile, New Orleans and (lalveston. Neither the West nor tho South could expect to find n market for their manufactures in Europe. It seems as if this bill was especially designed to beniht those sections of the United States. It is a most astonishing fact that tho rep resentatives from the Western and Southern States should havo been so blinded to tho future commercial welfare of their constituents as they were when they joined hands with Mr. Cleveland and his free trade as sociates ami wipd this law from the statute book. Tho repeal of this law was certainly an injury to the trade of the United Slates from gaining a foothold 111 the South and Central America would certainly confer a great favor on (Ireat Urit- ain. During the last twenty years England has been suffering severely from competition iu China, Jay an and India, Hussia and nearly all continental Europo aro not onlv closing their ports against English goods, hut are building up indus trial srstcms through which they are becoming htr rivals. Southern ami Ccutial America during tho past twenty years have boon a fruitful field for her commercial transac tions. Great Dritain is guarding this trado by all the means at her disposal. To step in ana divide thin trade with her nud Europo would greatly benefit American commerce. If tho advocates of freo trade were really solicitous of the welfare of tho United States and desirous of extending our markets in foreign countries, instead of destroying the reciprocity treaties, they should have upheld them. The Salem Polo Raising. Tho proper name is Pole and Flag Raising, tho stars and stripes being raised upon tho Polo.

The loyal party men of this township raised a Whig Pole in in lsts. It was erected near the Fair Oak School House, south of the public road and west of the small stream running past there. A hand sonio silk llag, encased in a frame and covered with glass was olai near tho top. General Zachary Taylor, tho un beaten hero of tho Mexican War, was the candidate for President. Although n blunt otlicer with little regard for West Point martinets, his intellectual capacities for states manship still untried, he came be fore the pooplo a plain, unmatched hero, fresh from tho murderous bay onets of tho quai'terlcss yellow I.: 1 1 . ....!. . ii SMIlIll'll HeVUS BUUIU Ol 1110 Ikl'J I Grande, and tho party spirit in thati1"'"- Shell Hinders Rollback.

Ner Middleswarth was tho orator at this Polo Raising. This statesman of national repute, still lives in tho memories of our older citizens and only they remem ber his fiery eloquence and vigorous appeals of popular pride when on tho stump. Middleswarth in his day was one of Pennsylvania's greatest men, a true, honest typo of tho curly statesman, a tipical genius in state craft.
