THE color of (lie 2-cent postage stamp is not just what Postmaster General Wanamaker would like it to be and a change will soon be made in j color and size. The size will he one- j third less than the present style and the color changed to metallic red or ! carmine. THE legislature of Michigan on j Saturday decided to place that state j in the ranks of those which have ' passed laws for the purification and j secrecy of the ballot-box. A new law, j embodying the most important fea- ; tuvos of the Australian system, was j adopted and will be tried at the next election. Pennsylvania's prospects of adopting this much-needed reform are not very encouraging, as Quay has said it is not needed in this state. INDIANA passed a law to prevent the sole of Chicago dressed beef in that state and the courts have declar ed it unconstitutional. Free trade between the several states is one of the first principles of the United States Constitution, and has been the most powerful factor in advancing the nation to what it is to-day. If free trade between states has accomplished so much good, would not free trade between nations accomplish consider able more? TIIE Scranton Truth , situated as it i is in the midst of protected industries, has opened its eyes to the fact that j protection is nothing more or less j than a one-sided iniquity. In a recent j editorial it says: The Truth has been an ardent admirer ] of the doctrine of protection because it honestly believed that it was best for the workingmen; but if labor is to be denied its share of the profits arising from this economic system, and monopoly is to use it merely as a campaign cry to he forgot ten as soon as the voteH arc counted, we will have no scruples about denouncing it at the very first opportunity when de nunciation can be made effective. GOVEIINOK NICHOLS of Louisiana has thrown a wet blanket upon the pro posed Sullivan Kilrain contest, which is to take place within one hundred miles of New Orleans on Monday next, by issuing a proclamation denouncing the tight as a "disgraceful exhibition," and that "all persons concerned there in may be held to a strict legal responsibility and punishment." Whether or not the Governor is really in earnest in his desire to improve the morals of his state remains to be seen. If this contest is against the law he should see that it does not take place; if it is not against the law let him keep his hands off, and may the best man win. IT is astonishing with what rapidity ! labor and reform papers are springing into existence. We know that it j would astonish the great majority of ! our readers, for we know it astonishes us. Tho Single Tax movement is j taking like wild-fire, and the more the people knows of it the more contagious j it becomes. Old Greenbackers, Anti Monopolists, Union Labor men, J Knights of Labor and Alliance men I are looking into the subject. Even 1 Democrats and Republicans, who have ! investigated the matter at all, admit j the justice of it. It is all anti-mono- j poly —in behalf of the many as against j the very few. It works injustice to none.— The Nonpareil. THE Government, it is reported, has contracted for 550,000 enameled bricks of English make to be used in the construction of the Congressional Library building. Of course, the Government will not have to pay the tariff duty on imported bricks for its own use; that burden is only laid on the bricks made for or imported by other builders. But if the encourage- \ liient of the home industry and the employment of our own brickmakers i are objects to which the Government forces everybody else to contribute, why does it turn tail on its own policv when buying bricks for itself? The brick rankers of Philadelphia, who think they make bricks good enough for Government structures, are some what puzzled by the antics of this I ligli Tariff Administration.— Record. THAT charitable aphorism, to speak no ill of the dead, has been generally \ observed in the case of ex-United States Senator Simon Cameron, who passed quietly away from this life at Harrisburg last week. But those papers that throw the mantlo of char ity over the person of tho deceased in kindness to his relatives, should not forget that they owe a greater duty to the living than to the dead. Simon Cameron's treatment of the Winneba gocs, his career as Secretary of War which compelled President Lincoln to j demand his resignation, his bare faced ! bribery of three members of the Penn sylvania legislature to secure a seat in the United States Senate, and the authorship of an infamous system of politics—bribery and bull-dozing which continues in force to this day, are matters of public importance and should receive the condemnation of all honest men. Tariff ItleHHingH of Ono Day. A little later than this time last year ! ' numerous railroad excursion parties of j i Indiana and Illinois miners visited In-; ; dianapolis to congratulate Candidate ; 1 Harrison and hear him descant upon the beauties and blessings of the tariff. It j I was the boast of the candidate in his j speeches to these excursion parties that I lie hail studied ''markets, not maxims." : The coal miners of Illinois and Indiana ; who applauded these speeches, and who have been thrown out of employment or are working half time at reduced rates, have now abundance of leisure to con template the promised blessings of the tariff in the light of actual experience. During the last two months numerous : weavers have quit work in Blackstone, Mass., because the reduced wages were not sufficient to support them and their families. Many looms are idle on this account. The "Home Market Club," of Boston, told the weaversof Massachusetts ! last year that the wicked "free traders" j in advocating free wool were endeavor- ] ing to take the bread out of their mouths. t ( Thousands of Massachusetts weavers ; f who listened to the professions <>f the tariff beneficiaries are now learning how . egregiously they were deceived. In Bangor, Me, the workingmen in the ; 1 saw-mills and planing-inills have organiz-! ; ed a strike which embraces nearly 2000 j men. The men complain that they are . not sufficiently paid for twelve hours of ; 1 work, and they demand that the day's | work be reduced to eleven hours without I any diminution of wages. In his appeals j ; to the workingmen of Maine last year 1 Mr. Harrison assured them that the j ; tariff, if left undisturbed, would shower ! I upon them continuous blessings and ! , benefits. He eloquently warned them 1 j against the insidious wiles of the free ! ; traders, whose object, he said, was to j I bring them to the degraded level of the i I pauper labor of Europe. Two thousand j I workingmen of Bangor are now engaged | in a despairing struggle to wrest one i short hour of respite from a day of un- j 1 remitting toil, and the tariff beneficiaries, j I who enjoy a bounty of $2 per 1000 feet > | upon the lumber which their employes saw and plane into boards, refuse to j I yield a single moment. The men must ! | work twelve hours a day for eleven-hour j I wages or starve. I These are among the brief chronicles j of one day of tariff blessings in this I j country as told by the telegraphic dis- I , patches. The records are accumulating j j at a rapid rate— Philti. Record. Massachusetts'* New llallot Law. j I The new ballot law in Massachusetts 1 { will receive its first practical application ' ! at the state election of this year, and j much will depend upon its successful j ! working. Politicians and election officers i who would like to see it fail might be ! able to contribute somewhat to the result j if there was nobody to watch them or to \ j look out for proper efforts to make the ! new system a success. Realizing this . fact, friends of the reform in Massachu ! setts have formed a llallot-Act League, i ! the object of which is to see that none of 1 i the steps for, making the provisions of 1 the law effective are ovelooked or neg lected. It will look after the preparation of the proper forms for nominations, I ballots, etc., the plans for polling arrange ments, the information of election ; officers and political committees, and in general will see that the work is done, that is necessary to put the reform into successful operation at the start. It is a j most desirable organization, and the i , friends of the reform in other states that I 1 have passed laws regulating the ballot 1 will do well to follow the Massachusetts example, and look after their proper i j execution.— N. Y. Times. Yicioun Newspapers. By the term vicious we do not mean those that advocate violent reform meas ures or any radical changes in manners or in customs. We refer solely to such papers as print sensational news, chiefly that which sets youthful minds aflame j with improper desires, and instead of elevating their morals, degrades them. I Base stories of elopements, divorces, sometimes coupled with murder, theft j and other crimes, the perusal of which week after week makes the readers of such cases well acquainted with crimes : and misdemeanors they should he en : tirely ignorant of.

Nonsense! Who ever' heard of any one refraining to commit a ; crime lest it should become public. Or I who that has committed crimes and ex -1 cesses fears the publicity of his acts. They may dread the punishinet but not j the notoriety it brings them. No, these i I papers are gotten up with a different; purpose than that of showing the malig-1 j nity of violating law. They cater to i depraved natures, and the public that | supports them is at fault. Some are : illustrated, some are not. The latter have as evil an effect as the former. | The parents that permit such panel's to enter their homes have a good deal to ; answer for. — Ex. To lte Ordained. ! The announcement has been made that on Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week, Thomas Ewing Sherman will | receive the orders of sub-deacon, deacon : and priest in the chapel of the Roman j Catholic Cathedral at Philadelphia. The candidate is a member of the Society of Jesus, and comes from Woodstock Col lege, Howard County, Md. The orders will be conferred by Archbishop Ryan, and only bishops, prominent clergymen and relatives of the candidate will be pre sent, admission being by card. Thomas E. Sherman is the oldest son of General William Tecumseh Sherman, and was born in Lancaster, 0., in 1856. lie graduated from Georgetown College, D. C., in elementary studies in 1875. He * took a two-year course in science at Yale, after which he studied law and graduat | ed. He went to England, where, at Koehampton, he entered the novitiate of the Society of Jesus, the rules of that order requiring the candidate to give two years' reflection on the career he has chosen. If, at the end of that time, he remains firm in his determination, he is allowed to make his first vows of chastity, ; poverty and obedience. Hethen devotes live years to study and several years to i teaching. Mr. Sherman went to Woodstock from ! Roehampton. Latter he was sent to the Jesuit College at Detroit, and then to the I St. Louis University, in each of which he was a teacher for some time, after which he returned to Woodstock. He will spend two years more after ordina- j tion in the study of theology. The UogN in Clover. It is estimated that there are at this very moment dogs in the United States. Now it is plain that no dog can be boarded for less than three I cents per day, which would run the keep 1 of every dog to at least ten dollars per annum, or $20,000,000 for all the dogs in I the land. What is worse most of these 1 dogs are absolutely useless. The money I required to feed this enormous kennel ! would gi vc 400,000 families SSOO each j every year.

It is worthy of our attention, especially as the trees are much more exhausted by the pro duction of seeds than by that of their development, and usually the more seeds the less eatable pulp and the harsher its quality. The remains of a once remarkablo woman were buried at Kutztown, Pa., recently. Her maiden name was Susie Kemp. A few years ago she was married to Station Agent J. C. Sins. She died suddenly of heart disease, and was aged twenty-six years. Pos sibly no woman in all that district could equal her in feats of strength. She plowed frequently on her father's farm, went into grass and harvest fields, and could load hay with the streugth of men. At thirteen years of age siie thought nothing of putting on heavy boots and plowiug a half a day for pastime. She took a delight in master ing a number of languages during her evening hours of leisure. A Letter of Lincoln; The following is contributed by Dr. W. C. Wilkinson to the Century : "The remarkable popular interest iu every thing that throws light upon the char acter of Abraham Lincol, which the | serial publication of his life in the ! Century Magazine in part finds and in part creates, emboldens me to believe that a recent discovery of my own bearing on the matter may be accepted by many readers as a contribution not , without its value to the growinguub lic fund of Lincoln memorabilia. I use | the word 'discovery,' although that word may not seem lit, when I say, as | I must, that what I discovered was al j ready public enough to be seen framed I and hanging on one of the interior walls of the line State Capitol in Nash i ville, Tennessee. The documents to , which I refer are now no longer to be ; seen where I saw them, they having, ! since my visit to Nashville a few years | ago, been removed to a much less frequented place of custody in the j same city. Through the intervention of a friend I lately found them again, j though not without trouble, aud here | show them for examination of the I curious. j "They consist of two letters, one I written to, and the other written by, , Abraham Lincoln. How they came ; into public keeping, and with what ; history, in the case of the illustrious ; writer of one of the letters, they may ' be associated, I have sought in vain to learn. But the letters happily explain themselves. Perhaps the enterprising I authors of the biography now being published in the magazine may bo able to bring these letters into their proper | sotting in the circumstances of Lin ! coin's life. ! "One thing was very noteworthy in . the autograph letter of Lincoln, and 1 that was its immaculately neat and j correct mechanical execution. The manuscript had tho physiognomy and air of one produced by a habitually fastidious literary man. The hancl j writing was finished enough to bo call i ed elegant; the punctuation, the spell ing, the capitalizing, were as conscien tious as tho turn of tho phrase may be seen to bo. ! "It is a Mr. W. G. Anderson who writes a covertly threatening letter to j Lincoln—little dreaming at that mo ; ment that it was an historic document ! that he was so seriously inditing. The i date is Lawronceville, October 30,1840. The address is stiffly, meant perhaps to he even more formidably, formal. It iis 'A. Lincoln, Esqr.; Dear Sir.' Mr. Anderson straitly says: '"On our first meeting on Wednesday last, a difficulty in words ensued between us, which 1 deem it my duty to notice further. 1 think you wero tite nturressor. Your words import ed Insult; and whether you meant them as such is for you to say. You will therefore please Inform me on this point. And if you desifrn to offend me, please communicate to mo your present I'eolinKS on the subject, and whether you persist in the stand you took.' "Anil Mr. Anderson sternly signs himself, "Your obedient Servant." "There now was a chance for Mr. Abraham Lincoln. How will he meet it? Will he chatf Mr. AnilorsonP Will he give him stiffness for stiffness? There will surely be an interesting revealtion of character. The actual fact is, if Abraham Lincoln had known, in writing his reply, that he was writ ing it much more for the whole world and for all future generations, than simply for his personal friend Mr. An derson, to read, I do not see how he could have written it better for the advantage of his own good fame. Here is his reply; " 'LAWKBNCEVIT.I.E, OCT. 31st, 1840. *"W. G. ANDERSON. " 'DKAR Silt: Your note of yesterday is re ceived. In thcdilliculty between us of which you Bpoak, you say you think 1 was the ay yressor. Ido not think 1 was. You say my 'words imported Insult—' 1 mean them as a fair sot oil' to your own statements, and not otherwise; and in that light alone i now wish von to understand them. You ask for my 'present feelings on the subject.' 1 entertain no unkind feeling to you, and nono of any sort upon the subject, except a sincere regret that 1 permitted myself to get into any such altercation. Yours etc., "A. LiNcor.fi.' Kissing tlio Ladies. Nicolatts de Bcthlen, a pupil of Doctor Basire at Alba Julia, visited Kngland during the winter of 1663-64. and relates the following in his "Auto biography": "Being unaware of the fact that it was customary in England to kiss the corner of the mouth of ladies byway of salutation, instead of shaking hands, as we do in Hungary, my yottugcr brother and I behaved very rudely on one occasion. We were invited to dinner to the house of a gentleman of high rank, and found his wife and three daughters, one of them married, standing in array to receive us. We kissed the girls, but not the married ladies, and thereby greatly offended the latter, but Duval, a French Protestant clergyman, apolo gized for our blunder, and explained to us that when saluting we must al ways kiss the senior lady first and leave the gil ls and children to the last; ■ after dinner it was considered sufficient to kiss the hostess only, in recognition of the hospitality received." There after, he adds, he and all his traveling companions, with tho exception of one who could not bo prevailed upon, com plied most scrupulously with tho rules of etiquette. Bethlen moved in the best society in London. Ho was re ceived by Charles 11. "in publico solemni audentia" surrounded by a throng of noblemen; ho called upon the Dux Lboracensis, Rupertus Palatinus Rlioni, and many noblemen of high rank. At Oxford he was entertained | and made much of by tho professors, who, he informs us, spoke Latin with difficulty. In fact, everybody in En- j gland, he tells us considered it a great torture to be obligod to speak Latin, and he was therefore compelled to air his broken English, which ho had ; pickud up at Leydon undor the tuition j of a poor Englishman. | MEN WITH LONG HAIR. An Era of Them IN Predicted an Already oil ItM Way Hither. The newest, fad among the young men in New York is to let their hair flow long, says the Brooklyn Eagle, t seems that in a certain set in Lon don there lias arises a sudden rage for those lengthy locks which not a great while back were looked upon as effeminate and ridiculous. A club man standing in the window of his favorite club house the other day, tartly commenting on the passers by, noticed one of them smooth-faced, abundant locked young fellows, and bttgan to examine the question in the leisurely, minute manner that only club loungers have time to bestow upon trifles. Said he: "See that thing out there, with a bang ail over his head! It's the first oue of the sort I've seen here. Over iu England last spring 1 saw a lot of them. They are the sig nal of a uew ideal among the young men—those long-locked fellows are. When I was young the military tvpo was what we all patterned after, liair cropped close, big mustache, square shoulders, and all that sort of thing. Later the Prince of Wales set a new model, which had less of the military air auil more the type of the society man about it. The hair was still short, but the martial mustaches dropped their points, and a Vandyke beard was added. It was a very unpictur esque type, and was better suited to the middle-aged men like the Prince than the young fellows who, nevertheless, endeavored to couform to it. They weren't satisfied, though, and when I was on the other side, a few months back, I saw the enormous infiuence of the stage, which seems to be para mount just now, was appearing even in this. Both the beard and mustache has disappeared, aud most of the young swells had faces as free of hair as a I girl's. They claimed that a man look ed more 'distinguished' with a clean face, aud I don't know but there is some truth in the claim. 1 never had anything but annoyance from the big mustache I wear, and I think nature tripped up when she gave man hair on his face anvhow; it isn't of the slight est use, and it's an awful lot of trou ble. Well, but, as I was saying, the real reason of the young fellow's clean shave was the infiuence of such men as Irving, Wilson Barrett, and the voung 'beauty men' on the stage, who, by the nature of their profession, and often much against their will, are obliged to keep their face clean-shaved. It is a curious fact that when a man takes all the hair off his face it imme diately becomes necessary he should let it grow on his head/ If he still keeps his head cropped he gets a prison convict, a picked-chicken kind of air that is eminently unbecoming. If you will notice our ancestors of the past generation, who used to consider hair on the face an unforgivable vul garity, wore their hair not less than two inches long. You'll see it in all the portraits of the judges and Sena tors of that day. And, indeed, if you will look over any book of costumes you will find that in every period a smooth face aud long hair, mustaches and a close crop, have always gone together. So as a result of this shav ing of countenauces the locks began to sprout again, and now here's a specimen of the fashion among our own gilded youths, Kyrle Bellew has helped on the style; Henry Irving be gan it. Of course there will always be a lot of red-faced or turnip-nosed or stocky young fellows who will fight shy of a fashion sure to be unbecoming to them, and of course old fogies like myself will stick to our old ways, but 1 predict an era, and a long one, of smooth faces and plentiful hair. Cheaper to Stay at Home. "George dear," sho said tenderly, "I know you are poor; but could we not make our homo in some west ern city where the cost of living is cheaper? I have read somewhere that you could get three pounds of beef in Kansas for a quarter." "I know it," he replied ruefully; "but it would cost the price of three whole oxen to get out there!"— Puck. During tho year IHB7 £1,3*4,759 were contributed by British Christians to foreign missions. FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF THE Freeland - Borough SCHOOL DISTRICT, VOlt THE YEAH ENDING JL'NE 1888. JOHN J.
