FRIDAY, AUGUST 10,1880.
CHICAGO now claims to cover more
ground than any other city in the Union.
Higiibi: rates and an increasing demand
for money are reported all over the West,
England has over §1,000,000 invested
in the manufacture of idols for heathen
countries.
Gbbat Britain believes in subsidies, and
has paid since 1840 upwards of $250,000,-
000 to protect and foster her commerce
on the ocean.
Tiik Philadelphia Record says: The
euchre-playing Captain of the Black Dia
mond proposes to order up the ten-spot of
spades on Blaine, and play him for dam
ages. The serene skipper thinks he holds
two jacks and an ace, and he proposes to
show mankind what he knows about a
joker.
Tiiei'.e is an uncertainty about the He
publican candidate for Govornor next
year. No one can now tell how the saviour
of the G. O. P. will choose. It is not ex
actly known who the great fisherman will
cast his gubernatorial line for, so the
boys will have to keep cool and wait till
he throws his line.
DECLINATION OF MORMON HIER
ARCHY.
Hitherto, the Mayor and Councils of
Salt Lake City have been completely
under control of the Mormon Church,
but last week the Mormons were de
feated tor the first time since Utah Terri
tory was organized, The result of the
late election will place the next muni
cipal Government of Salt Lake City into
the hands of the Gentiles. After the first
of February next the Mormon Ilierachy
will decline and its Polygamic institutions
will no longer prevail.
MUMMY INSTEAD OF UISAItTITH
It was not for dynamite that the En
glish Custom ITouso officials searched the
Pinkstoniau American official's trunk, but
for the mummy of Eliza Pinkstou, which
he carries with him as a mascot. The
Pinkstonian docs not carry dynamite,
which the English knew, but their search
was for the mascot which he is supposed
to carry with him, the mummy of Eliza
Pinkston. This was an outrage on the
part of the "Free Trade" England offi
cials, and it is no wonder the "honest"
Pinkstonian was almost mad enough to
thrash the British lion and all its cubs.
QUAY AND HALSTKAD.
Quay's candidacy for President, and
Halsteud's candidacy for the United States
Eenatorship so early in advance, r very
important. Quay's candidacy for the
Presidency, and Halstead's candidacy for
the Senate, assume a decidedly personal
aspect. Halstead's entrance into the Sen
ate would be to Quay a bull with hay on
his horns. Quay, who voted against Hal
stead's confirmation, would hustle around
in that body upon Halstead's entrance.
Halstead merits the Republican party's
highest honors, and if honest merit
should dominate in Ohio this fall iu that
party, the Pennsylvania brave will shud
der in liis boots. Halstead's rejection
for Minister to Germany was a disgrace
ful outrage of the Senate, and the Ameri
can people generally sympathize with
him.
'• RICH, BRAZENLY RICH. •
The Republican platform, broadly say*
the Philadelphia Record, is " rich, bra
zenly rich." In its editorial on the pro
ceedings of the late Republican conven
tion, it speaks forth the words of " truth
and soberness" when it says: "As for
the platform, it indorses High License,
and thus puts the Republican party of
Pennsylvania in proper alignment on the
liquor question ; but people will not fail
to remember that the frainers of this very
platform did all they could to kill Iligh
License. The poor Prohibitionist is dis
missed. The Republican managers have
fulfilled the Prohibitionist compact; the
bargain is closed, and the Moor may now
go-
But is no use to enter critically upon
the utterances of this Convention any
more than upon the acts thereof. It.
would in truth be rather silly to make
much mention of the perfunctory animad
versions of a parcel of insincere politicians
on election frauds in the South. Greasy
with fat-fry iug and rank with vote-buy
ing, it is perfectly natural for the politi
cians aforesaid to slick things over
with a little lying about the
people of the South. That's the
politician's nature; he can't help it. ll
would only he silly in the sight of no
but would make the gods themselves
smile to seriously consider the afllriiiu
tion in the platform that the Republican*
are trying to adjust the burdens of taxa
tion in such away " that those persui
and interests able to boar most sball beat
most, and those able to bear least .-hall
bear least."
This ntllrmation may rile those who
know that the whole gang at Harrisburg
Wednesday are servilely tied to the apron
string of their old mother Monopoly—with
her tax on tlio dinner-pail, and her tax on
salt, and her tax 011 knives und forks, ami
her tax 011 the wool a man wears when
he's cold, and her tax on hundreds of
other nceessarricsof living—this platform
twaddle may rile some of our friends,
but us for ourselves we tbink it s inply
rich—brazenly rich.
THE ELIXIR OF LIFE—THE CREATES |
OF ALI. DISCOVERIES.
Progress is the great slogan of the cen
tury. The world is making rapid strides
in all directions, and thus relegating Solo
mon's old saying that" there is nothing
new under the sun," further and further
into the back ground. Something new is
turning up or rather being turned up every
now and then. Astonishing as have been
the practical application of steam and
electricity hitherto, their possibilities as
agencies seem to be limitless. But these
and all other discoveries and inventions
must stand asido for the latest and most
astonishing in the world's history.
Millions of money were spent, and years
of time and devoted during the 13th, 14th
and 15th centuries by celebrated
ulckemists to discover the elixir of life.
The signal failures of all their efforts,
cuused the skeptical of the world from
that time down to this year, to denounce
all such attempts quite as foolish as the
efforts to discover perpetual motion.
Mocked at by the learned, ridiculed by
the ignorant, the enterprise was given up
for nearly three centuries.
But, now, comes the inteligence
that the discovery has at
last been made. The numer
ous experiments, in different parts of the
world, have been so successful within the
past few weeks, that incredulity has
given way to absoluto belief. This won
derful discovery is called Brown-Sequard's
life elixir.
The discoverer is not a crank, but no
less a personage than Dr. Brown-Sequard,
one of the most distinguished physicians
of the medical profession, standing as he
does at the head of the list of the emi
nently successful French practitioners;
and is fully backed up by Dr. Hammond,
one of New York's noted scientists. The
elixir is compounded of animal matter—
the testes of Guinea pigs and rabbits, dis
solved and mashed in distilled water and
then filtered. The mode of administering
it is by hypodermic injection. In every
case so far reported, the effects have been
of the most astonishing nature, imparting
strengthening and rejuvenating powers to
the aged and infirm. While acting as a
stimulant, in some respects, unlike all
known stimulants its effects have up to the
present, not been temporary but lasting.
A peculiarity about it which seems inex
picable, is that only men are benefitted by
it, which causes a leading Medical journal,
that favors the discovery, to say, "it is a
lamentable fact that it can only be ap
plied to men, enabling old men to become
young, and leaving women to carry their
weight of years."
(toe of Pittsburgh's best known physi
cian's has successfully used it in the case
of some old and decrepid men. He says,
"So far everything has gone smoothly—
the-effects having all been equally remark
able. The whole body in each case
seemed rejuvenated." Another eminent
medical man being asked what he thought
of the theory, said, " There may be some
thing in it. Nothing now seems impossi
ble to medical science, when.viewed in the
light of the late almost miraculous discov
eries. It is now possible for an expert chem
ist to invent drugs to produce the desired
effect. Then, when the idea emanates
from a man like Dr. Brown-Sequard,
there must be reason in it. For thirty
five years he has been the highest author
ity on biology, physiology cf the brain,
and the laws of life."
We have thus given the main facts
about its discovery, its component parts,
its effect, and the general favor with
which it is regardad by distinguished
medical men. Now, let us look at some
things that must naturally and necessarily
follow. We almost hesitate to do it, as
the facts will be anything but welcome to
the better half of the human race, and to
several highly remunerative callings and
professions. But facts are facts, and must
sooner or later be faced.
The first ugly tiling confronting us is,
the undue preponderance it will exert in
favor of the greater supremacy of the
male sex—imparting youth, vigor,beauty
to a played-out, decayed, withered, dry
ed-up old codger, and leaving nice old
ladies the subjects of wrinkles, rheuma
tism and general infirmities, The thought
is too intolerable to be borne 1 Think of
it! When " the sixth age shifts into the
lean and slippered pantaloon, witli spec
tacles 011 nose, and pouch on side, his
youthful liose well saved,a world too wide
for his shrunk shank, and his big, manly
voice turning again into childish treble,
pipes and whistles in his sound "—think
of rejuvevating such 1111 old stager back
into the character of a " lover, sighing
like a furnace, with a woful ballad made
to his mistress' eye brow," and bis old
wife growing ohter and older. No, no,
Mr. Brown-Sequard, we don't want any
of your elixir in ours. Throw such
physic to the dogs. It is too Frenchy for
us.
Again, what would become of our
churches ? The proportion of men at
tending them is now small enough in al!
conscience—one to about five women,and
in point of sincerity of profession, about
one to twenty. But with new lease of
life, the number of men would soon lie so
infinitesimally small, that preachers'
lloeks would be conspicuous for the ab
sencc of the sterner sex.
But further : With half of the human
race living on interminably, what sad
ikivoc would be played with the incomes
of druggists and doctors, and even with
ie revenues of saloonists, as there would
iie no longer any pretext for indulging in
beer and whisky for the " stomach's
sake." And the occupations of under
takers und liverymen would be fully half
gone. Add to all this the sore disap
pointment of the nice young men, who
are willing to step into the " old man's "
shoes.
One other grievous result must not be
overlooked, and that is the evident mar
ring of the pleasure experienced by mem
bers of societies iu whereasing that the
Lord kills all the " brothers " who are
killed by their fellow-men, or who kill
themselves by their own indiscretions.
No, Mr. Dr. Brown-Sequard, while
your elixir may be a great *liing, we are
not quite ready to hanker after it. Later
on, when feeling the infirmities of old
age, and mankind gets used to it, we may
want it. But it is too sudden, too violent,
too radical a revolution for our conserva
tive nature to take to all at once. But
notes verrons.
Sylvester Horner's Money.
The story of the loss of Sylvester Hor
ner's money has been generally known
since the flood. Mr. Horner had a hand
some residence at the corner of Stony
creek and Levcrgood streets, and at the
flood was floated up to Sandyvale Ceme
tery. In the house there was an oil
cloth satchel or valise, containing a cigar
hox in which there was a lot of gold coin
and bills, amounting in all to about $2,700.
Mr. Horner made diligent search after
the flood to recover this money, but all
his efforts were without success.
Some days ago Mrs. Captain Charles
Butland, the mother of Mr. William 11.
Grubb, and Mrs. Grubh were visiting
out in the Seventh ward, when they inci
dentally heard of a young man having
received S4O from a person who had
found some money. Mr. Grubb was told
of the matter, and he thought it might
possibly be some of Mr. Horner's money.
Mr. Grubb proceeded to investigate the
matter, and, briefly, he discovered the
following: John M. Lewis, of Meadow
vale, found the satchel and gave it to W.
li. Weaver, who was in charge of the
gang that was working where it was
found. A number of the young men who
were working knew about the And and
were each given a portion of it, it is sup
posed, to keep them quiet about the rich
discovery. They received the following:
Albert Orris, S4O; R. Miller, S4O; S. Rin
inger, S4O; Alex. Miller, S4O ; Hiram
Kcnsey, S4O; John M. Lewis, S4O; John
Sullivan, $65, gone to Harrisburg; Jesse
Slick, S4O, gone to Ilooversville ; Frank
Mishler, S4O, and Boss Wilson, $220.
Weaver and Wilson met Mr. Horner,
and Mr. L. Baurner, the Chairman of the
Committee on Valuables, and turned over
to Mr. Horner the money in their pos
session—sl,22o. This with the seoo
given to the persons named amounts to
SI,BOO, leaving S9OO unaccounted for.
Au Attack ou the Flannel Shirt.
The flannel shirt is a mockery, a delu
sion and a snare. It gives to the wearer
the outward appearance of a tough and
disreputable person. It imparts to his
feelings a perpetual heat and irritation. It
scratches his neck. It clings woolily
about his wrists. But more and worse
than all this, it exercises a distinctly de
moralizing influence upon him. Before
he has worn it an hour he begins to ex
perience a thirst for beer, und visions of
cool cellars and foam-topped schooners
tempt him. The friction of the flannel
on his throat, moreover, has occult anil
sinister effects. It eliminates respon
sibility. It causes the victim of
the flannel shirt to feel that he is only tit
for a 'longshoreman's work; that's he
ought to have a short pipe in his mouth
or his hatband; that he has a secret
affinity with water-front saloons. Doubt
less a man may fight well enough in a
flannel shirt, or he may fish, or cut bait,
or loaf in the grass ; but he cannot invite
his soul w hen so clad with any hope of
adequate response. No, the ideal sum
mer dress does not include, nor is it based
upon, the flannel shirt. That ideal calls
for coolness, softness of texture, aud ab
sorbent capacity. There is nothing which
surpasses the cool freshness of clean
linen, and but for the baleful starch which
testifies to the triumph of stupid con
ventionalism over common sense, it is
plain thai a linen garment offers the most
hopeful foundation for that summer cos
tume of the future which the coming race
will wear.— New York Tribune.
A Ili'Slieny's 111* lief Corps.
The special Committee of Allegheny
Councils appointed to organize and equip
a force of men to proceed to the relief of
Johnstown sufferers reported last evening
that it sent 100 men to the scene, where
they assisted in removing and destroying
the debris. The men remained at work
about one week, when they were relieved
by others employed by the State. A con
siderable quantity of unused material and
supplies was turned over to the State, for
which the city may eventually be reim
bursed. The total expenses of the
Committee were $2,240.71, of which sl,-
000.75 was paid to the men, and $ 1,203.90
expended for material and supplies. The
expenses of the Medical Belief Corps,
under the charge of Dr. U. H. Gilliford,
and the detached body of men composed
of Councilmcn and others, which oper
ated by boat up the Allegheny River, are
not included in the above statement.
Accident at the Cambria Iron Company's

The last of the scries of delightful
seashore excursions over the Pennsyl
vania Railroad to Atlantic City, Cape
May, Sea Isle, or Ocean City, is fixed for
Thursday, August 22d. These excursions
are among the most pleasant events ol the
summer, and those who have not yet en
joyed one, should by no means let this
last opportunity pass. The season, at the
date fixed, is considered by many the
most enjoyable portion of the summer, as
the bathing of August is superior to that
of any other period.

The lieiiminH of John Trunk Found.
The body of Mr. John Frank, tire
Washington street saloou keeper, was
fouud on Saturday morning about 10
o'clock uear his house. Together with him
self, his wife, four daughters and a sou
were lost.
Mr. Frank was at one time an iec dealer,
using the old Feud ice house, on the
Johnstown side opposite Simon Young's
slaughter}-. Four of the family are still
missiug.
The finding of Mr. Frank's remains so
uear liis rcsidcuce has intensified the feel
ing and made probable the belief that
many unexcavated places contain remains.
At first the erection of Oklahoma's and
other frame dwellings without cellars
were restricted to eei tain localities. Xow
these restrictions are but little observed.
The preservation of the health of the com
munity would demand that nothing be
erected where the ground is unexcavated
and it is believed the Board of Health will
see to this observance. Captain Hamil
ton will liau tlie renaming Frank prop
erty cleaied. Before buildiug on places
tilled with debris it should be removed,
not only on Hie sit' of private residences—
where bodies probably may be found, bid
also where public buildings stood as
there possibly may be remains.

Messrs. Charles Houston and Joseph T.

the press relief train, which was one of
the very first to carry an appreciable
quantity of provisions into Johnstown
after the horror, have just completed their
report and settled up all accounts in con
nection therewith, shoxviug how very

From tlm rioo<l*
On Friday a large traveling satchel
packed with a woman's clothing, was
brought to the room where valuables are
stored. There was a Pennsylvania Ilail
road cheek, Xn. 309, from Pittsburgh to
Philadelphia on it, and the name " Eliza
beth M. Bryan " was stamped on an em
broidered linen handkerchief. The satchel
is no doubt the property of Miss Bryan,
of Gcrmantown, who was the companion
of Miss Jennie Paulson, of Pitts
burgh, on that illfated Day Express
which left Pittsburgh on the morning of
the day of the flood. Miss Bryan, it will
be remembered, was in Pittsburgh visit
ing Miss Paulson. When it came time for
her to return to Philadelphia, Miss Paul
son accompanid her. The young women
left on tho Day Express, leaving Pitts
burgh at 8 o'clock in the morning. On
the same train was General William Henry
Smith, General Superintendent if tlie
Associated Press; ex-Postmaster General
Frank Hatton, and some of the members 1
of the Chinese embassy. The latter es- i
raped the Hood, but Miss Paulson and
Miss Bryan were lost. The latter's body
was found some days later, but Miss
Paulson's body lias never been recovered.
All that her family have to remind them
of the terrible fate of the young woman is |
her Bible, card case and pocketbook.
which were picked up after the flood.
