PRESIDENT JUDGE.
(Coiitiiniel from laat week 'a Herald ami New )
And still the questions come, such as :
Is it true that nine years ago, then
H. M. MeClure, Esq., told you that
Judge Rockefeller was partial ami that
he hail treated him shamefully ?
Did he make you promises both be
fore and after the election, he never
fulfilled?
How could you have consistently
voted at the primary when you were
fully convinced that the .Indue is a
non-pomtical office, based upon the
unanimous opinion of al 1 political
parties ?
tf the Republican party
mistake, do you think tli
correct it ?
Iln vim think that the
lias made a
ey Ollghl to
Democratic
party will profit by the misfortunes of
its adversaries and not run into the old
rut that has let! them to Inevitable de
feat for the last nine years?
Do vou think they are willing to pay
an honest debt, although barred by the
Statute of Limitation ?
Is ii true thul if the relleet, ii
should be easy for them to remember
wlio were their t rue and tried friends?
Judging from the qui stions you en
umerated in a former article, vou are
fully aware of i he magnitude of your
undertaking; are you not?
Arc you sure thai this time it w ill be
Snyder lounty for Snyder ( 'ouuty and
Union County for Snyder County ?
W hile all these questions are import
ant, as well as very many more that
have been asked, ! will not, at this
time, lie able to Comment on any ex
cept the last two. Yes, there is no
doubt that Snyder Count v will be for
Snyder County, and don't y on think it
is high time that it ought : !ofkjn'g
after its own interest ?
Tostart only fifty years ago, Mifflin
County has had that office twenty
years, 1'nion County has had it twenty
yean, and Lackawanna County has
bad it ten years.
Some time in the future 1 "ill pub
lish a calculation of what the i ley
amounts to, at this time, received by
each of the above counties, supposing
it had been Invested in judgments und
revived every live years according to
law.
Yes, there is not a detail until now
and seven o'clock P. M., on election
day that 1 do not sec. Of course ii may
he necessary to make a few changes,
but that will lie an easy mailer.
Sou will then be able to exclaim with
many others, "Mow call any man, in
either Union County or Snyder County,
refuse to support Snyder County can
didates?" fully believe that Union
County will he for Snyder County, be
cause there is no doubt that il will re
ciprocate past favors if we give them an
opportunity.
Indeed, I know it lo he a fact that
many of the good people of Union
County have said thai Snyder County
Is entitled to the next Judge anil thai
they are willing t vote and work to
that end.
have a case on hand that must he
disposed of before 1 will he uble to give
tiic judicial contests my undivided at
tention and as this may take several
weeks, i am compelled to ask you to
be patient for the answers to all ques
tions. Other parties are better prepared to
answer some and you will he referred
lo all such.
You should grant me ihe privilege of
asking sonic, and w hen you are -, i to
thinking in order to properly answer
tl em, tin- truth will lie made to appear
and you will he astonished thai you
have been laboring and acting under a
wrong impression for the last nine
years.
As the facts of my case w ill confound
the most learned arid able judges and
lawyers of this whole country and put
them to sea without rudder or compass
as to the law, and the proper theory to
win the case, I will print them as soon
as it will be possible to fully ascertain
them. Very respectfully yours,

Exposition al IhilTalo, N, V,
Located on the Midwav, adjacent lo
the Amherst gate, visitors to the Pan
American Exposition w ill find an im
mense circular building: This is the
home of the ureal war cyeloraiua; the
now famous "Battle of Mission Ridge."
The great battle painting is sixty feet
high, and three hundred and eight feel
in circumference. It is more than the
ordinary canvass wall which consti
tutes the majority of panoramas, for it
embodies not only a vast painted sur
face, hut a plastic foreground of marvel
ous deception, over which i spread or
strewn in chaotic disordor, the impedi
menta of great warring hosts.
( hu e upon its lecture platform, il i
hurd to conceive that you have just left
the busy Midway, with its bustling
noisy mass of many nations, and now
on the top of Tennessee's gieal mount
aiu range. The horizon all around
rises ami falls like the waves ol the tur
bulent sen, with Its greal billows of
grandly beautiful scenery go where
you will within all 1 1 1 i . horizon, yet
turning everywhere, ever frown the
mountains. They rise like the blue
black clouds of an everlasting thunder
storm that w ill never pass over.
Overall this dignity of Cod's work,
War has -craw led its horrid autograph.
The print of War's bloody linger i- lie
fori' you, Gaunt and ghastly ! Terrible!
From the summits of these lofty
mountains, Satan might have ollercd
the kingdoms of the world.
The scene beforo you represent- the
last of those three memorable days in
November, IH03, which commenced
with the smiting of the Confederate's
creseenl lit f battle on Mondav. Nov
ember 2!lrd; the capture from I he rebel
forces of Lookout Mountain, Tuesday,
November 24th, and the storming of
"Mission Ridge" by the Union Army,
under the invincible leader-hip of the
liidnmitalbo Grant, on Wednesday,
November 25tb, 1803.
Vou are standing again on Orchard
Knob, the centre of the L'nlon line of
a lvalue : Mission Ridge Is before: Fort
Wood behind : the shining elbow of lh(.
Te nncssoe River to the left: Lookout
Mountain to the right. Never was
theatre more magnificent. Never was
drama worthier of us surroundings.
Imagine a chain of Feferal forts, built
in between, with walls of living men,
the line llung Northward mil of sight,
and Southward beyond Lookout
Mountain, and this grand corydon,
oommandedby Generals Grant,
Thomas, Sheridan, Granger, Meigs,
Hunter and Reynolds, with the tips of
its wings led by Sherman and Hooker
and a chain of mountains crowned
by batteries and manned by the Confe
derate forces, through a six mile sweep,
officered by Generals llmgg, Brecken
ridge, Hardee, Stevens, Cleburne, Hates
and Walker, and you have the two
fronts.
Blows are raining about the ridge,
from base to crest. Mission Ridge is
volcanic; literally aflame with Are, the
sullen clouds only part to pour forth a
torrent of red. Echos, that never waked
before, roar from height to height,
swelling the grand diapason of War's
exultant cry. The thunder of guns is
terrible; it grows sublime; it Is like the
foot bull of God, on the ledges of cloud.
The feverish heat of buttle beats all
around you; fifty-eight guns a minute
is the rate of this terrible throbbing. 1 1
is glorious to watch the Union forces
climb to this cloud of death above I
them, that literally drip a dew of mol
ten iron. 'I he dull fringe of Mission j
Ridge flash and kindle, as battery after

Quito a number of papers throughout
the State have been publishing a story
that Williams' Grove, the famous Pic

to a recent lire having burned out sev

lutely no truth, whatever, in the ru
mor. There were but three buildings
of any size burned, and these will all
be replaced on a much larger scale.
Work has been commenced ami Ihe

by June 10th. The Great Granger's

Ll Opportunities in S. S. U'ork.
The work of the Sunday School is
grand iu its aim, lofty in its purpose,
and glorias in its garnered fruitage.
Value is stamped upon the brow of
each opportunity, while interest intense
tills the busy moments. In ti,is re
cruiting station of th,. Lord's mighty
army there are officers whom oppor
tunities for good are golden. Thoughts
deep and potolll crowd upon Ihein.
Rut stretching themselves up t,, uu.
full real i.al ion of their rcs sible work
with a spirit akin to the -w. ct singer
of Israel, lhc cry out: "Why ail IhoU
cast down, O my soul.' and whj art
thou disquieted iii inc.' hope limit in
lod; for I shall yet praise him fin the
help of ids countenance."
The government has two ways of
saving life on the restless ocean, It
station- men iu certain ressiusible
place-, ami says: "You are to conduct
this life-saving station." They have a
hill line of necessary equipment for
ihe heroic work, hut nuisl gracefully
and patii lit 1 wait until the ships arc
on ihe treacherous rocks, ami the un
fortunate passengers ate struggling for
their lives upon tl,,. pnii,--, l( ;, j,,,.
Isisoni of (lie angry sea. before tie- life
saving crew i- sent to them. I'lie oth
er way i- the light-house, it plants
this noble sentinel upon tin shore and
-ays: -"You please live in lb - house
and Is tore t lie ship- get onto the hid
den rocks you warn Iheni oil', and
show t In in from the place of grim dan
gcr into the harbor of glad safety "
Tho Sunday School is endeavoring to
save life by the light-house rather than
Ihe life-boat plan. We arc trying to
keep the innocent boy- and girls off
the rugged cliflk, A large number of
coiis.'criiled men suvghim; their lives
as a living Sacrifice In the rescue-missions,
Grand opportunities of saving the
young from heart-aches, remorse, and
blasted hopes are constantly presented
to the alert, sympathetic, and Spirit
tilled S. S. worker. I believe it was
Mr. Wttiinmuker who said: "We
have the be-! cud of il. hen you
save a man or woman, you save a unit;
but w hen you save a boy or a girl you
-avc a whole multiplication table."
It is a great thing to save a soul :it any
age, but 1 asure you it is the greater
thing to save a soul pin- a life, the
child is the center of interest. Ihe
little child that Jesus put in the midst
hushcen in the midst ever since, and
tho "home-world" revolves nrouuil it.
The little child i- king or qi in
every home that it enter-. Do not loose,
then, the opportunity of saving all the
children possible that step within the
sacred threshold of your responsibility.
No doubt, many a thoughtless S, S.
worker has filled his cup with bitter
ness and his bow I w ith sorrow by neg
lecting the proper training nfthej oting
OpHrt unities arc not like the hawks
that circle round and round in tie blue
sky directly above you, but rather like
an arrow swift and fresh from I he quiv
er "NOW," I o not mistake n humble
bee for an opportunity. Opportunity
is like a -t i in of stepping-stones ticrofcs
a fortl. The weary traveller coining up
in iln in, muj find the river swollen
witli the nocturnal rains thai th"stoiies
are all bill covered. If he delll, . though
hi- palatial liomc be mi the opposite
bank ami full iu -ight, il may Is loo
late to rio, ami he may have a jour
ney of several miles to his home. The
Spanish say: "God keep you from "it
i- too laic." When the fool has made
up hi- mind, the market ha- gone by.
The Dutch -ay : "Kill Wenig Ym Spal,
Viel 54u Spat." I he Italian: Some re
fuse roust meat, and afterwards long
for the smoke of it."
Wilfully to let opportUllitii for good
goby is w ickedness mid an inexcusable
folly : whence the still more fooli re
grets which tear the hear! for felly is
only another name for thorns and
prickle seed; but a greater folly, is to
-land wailing, wishing, and longing
for opportunities when in fact they lie
about y ou like upturned autumn leave-.
Do your duty up to the brim and have
ihe results with God- Practice the
little duties of common life.
Opportunities of doing good work iu
the Sunday School arc lost when in
the llrst place, llii! teacher fails to
recognize his ofllce as divine. Jesus
chose to be a teacher because he
thought it the most important work iu
the world. Head his last command,
iu Mark 16:16, I know of no place on
this footstool SO fraught with oppor
tunity and responsibility as to stand
with the open Uible before a class of
children those neatly closed caskets
