FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 22, 1889. | In prosecuting tlie civil service re- ; form policy of this administration the J postmaster of Portsmouth, N. H., has j requested the Democratic letter cur riers of liis office to resign in a body. As they have refused to accommodate him in this respect Assistant Post master General Clarkson will have 1 the pleasure of chopping each of ' them in two just below the chin. Assistant Skcuetakv Bussey has opened another loop hole for the sur plus to slip through. On Monday he rendered a decision on a pension claim, in which he overrules the decis sions of his predecessors and rescinds a rule of ex-Commissioner Black, by holding that a dishonorable discharge does not debar a soldier's claim for an onslaught on Uncle Sam's big money box. NEVADA is in no way excited over the senatorial succession in that state. If it were not for the importance the choice has upon the rest of the coun try the question would make a very small family disturbance, for Nevada's entire population is not moi'e than J one-third of Luzerne County, and it is rapidly growing less. Nevada' should long ago been relegated with 'V/j territorites and divested of its paver as a state, hut that is a most m.likely thing to expect while Repub - bean rule is supreme. WE understand that the mine ex amining board of the Wilkes-Barre district lias decided tliat they will not employ or use the services of an inter preter hi granting certificates. When a man is not sufficiently acquainted with the language to answer the necessary questions, it will be taken for grunted that he is unfit to work in tlie mines, in the capacity of a miner, inasmuch as his lack of knowledge in this respect is dangerous to his fellow workmen. We commend this rule to all the hoards. Mahanoy Jiecord. THE new postal cards soon to be issued will vary in size. There will ho three sizes, one a fine, delicate card for ladies' use, much smaller than that now in circulation and of much finer quality. Finely calendered paper will be substituted for tlie old but! blotting-paper. An intermediate cord of the same size as the one now in use will be retained, and a new large card will bo introduced that can he used for business purposes, and will bo large enough to allow much more writing on that the present size. At a sham battle fought last week by the German troops for the amuse ment of Emperor Francis Joseph one section used a new "smokeless" pow der, the effect being that no smoke was visible at a distance of 300 yards, | and no sound was heard beyond a slight tapping. There is something (juite uncanny about the means that j are now being devised by man for | the extermination of his fellows, and , perhaps that very element of weird- j ness may make rulers pause before j they call such terrible forces into: operation. Kino Hcmijeut of Italy, no doubt i wishing to work himself into the good graces of the American people, has i conferred the title of "Count" upon | one of our most distinguished citi- : zens, Thomas A. Edison. Mr. Edi- j son, however, needs none of those deceptive charms, for they can neither give more power to his great inventive j facilities nor can they raise him any in the esteem of Americans. "While such gewgaws or baubles may be valued next to life in Europe tliey are j wholly unnecessary here—for some time at least. The amount of water that has j fallen in this state during the sum- ' mer of 18S0 is something prodigious, j The statisticians of the State "Weather ; Service have calculated that if gath ered in one place this rainfall would form a lake 1000 miles square and about 35 feet deep. During the three days when the Johnstown flood was at its height nearly seven billion tons of water fell upon the mountain pla teaus of Northern Pennsylvania. No \ wonder, indeed, that the summer lias been a drenched and comfortless dis appointment for the mass of the peo ple. John L. Sullivan was found guilty of disobeying Mississippi's laws and received a sentence of one year in jail. The case was immediately appealed to the Supreme Court, before which tribunal it will come in February. In the meantime Sullivan is out on bail, but is not by any means a free man. He must prosecute bis appeal or sacrifice his bond for $50(10, and he must return to Mississippi and sub mit himself to the court or forfeit the other bond for SIOOO for his appear- ] ance. Moreover, the forfeiture of that bond would not release him or act as a receipt in full. If the sentence should be sustained and he should fail to give himself up he would be a fugitive from justice, liable to arrest at any time. Sullivan's lot will not be a happy one until he has in some way expiated his offence. Five Polhoiim in the Cig;urette. The poisonous cigarette lias been in veighed against considerably, but its ; real character has not been shown up so | effectively in some time as in a recent article printed in the Times-Democrat of j New Orleans. Our contemporary says that according to Professor Lallin, a : noted scientist, there are five poisons in a cigarette—the oil in the paper, the oil of nicotine, saltpetre to pre ! serve the tobacco, opium to make it | mild, and the oil in flavoring. A good cigar has but one poison—the nicotine j that is part and parcel of the tobacco. ! The cigarette is thus four poisons ahead ; ! in the race for death among tobacco J users. It is a fact known to every small I ' boy that a mouthful of smoke blown | j though a handkerchief will leave a brown • j stain, but blown though the nostrils no 1 i stain will appear—it is left in the head ami | throat. This stain from the cigarette is j a deadly combination of the five power- j 1 ful poisons just named, and when such a j deadly agency is inhaled and left upon the lung it is only a question of time when that necessary member will cease to do active duty. Cigarette smoking is doing more to sap the foundation of physical well-being in this country than j any Bingle agency. It gets in deadly ! work at such a tender age that its in jurious effects are often attributed to j other causes. The sunken, hollow eyes, | the stunted growth, the tremor of the j muscles, all tell tlie story of havoc that j is being wrought in our hoys by the use of tlie cigarette. In short, it is a whole sale system of poisoning. So good an authority as Dr. llolmcs says that tlie habit of smoking cigarettes especially enfeebles tlie will power. It thus wrecks not the physical side of our natures only, hut tlie moral side as well. With a recognition of tlie force of such truths from so high a source, it is not to he wondered at that many of our state legislative bodies have provided both line and imprisonment for those who sell cigarettes to young hoys. The sale of I cigarettes to hoys ought to he placed 1 under a ban us severe as possible. Taxation in Indiana. Nothing is exempt from taxation in Indiana. Even the poor widow's stove j I or sewing machine must pay a tax, or l>e levied on and sold to pay the same. ' Every male under a certain age must | pay a poll tax, and if any one is enter prising enough to cultivate a farm, build or improve a dwelling, or embark in any business, the assessor takes him in hand as if he were getting too smart and must be punished. As one instance out of many as to how workingmen are "pro tected," we cite the following instance of a Richmond mechanic who bought a j lot for the purpose of building thereon a home. The lot was in tlie city oustskirts, and cost him S3OO, payable in a certain time, with interest. On looking over the tax books he found that the lot had previously been assessed at S3O valua tion, and paid annually 074 cents; but no sooner was the transfer made to him than the valuation was raised to $175, and the first year he had $4 taxes to pay, ! which increased every year according to ; the extent of his improvements. The j vacant lots held by the speculator still pay a nominal tax, although their valua j tion has greatly increased by reason of ( the enterprise of adjoining builders. All ! this may be "perfectly legal," but if 1 there is any justice in it we would like j to have it pointed out. Related Relief for Johnstown. ! It has at length been announced from ; Johnstown that a large distribution of | the Relief Fund amounting to about $1,750,000, is to be made as speedily as ! may be. The leisurely processes by | which this august commission has con ducted its task of distributing the j generous gifts of the people to a stricken j community constitute a remarkably I interesting study in incapacity. What- j ever excuses or explanations may be put j forth, the fact that after the lapse of ] nearly three months the greater portion i of the Johnstown Relief Fund remains useless in the custody of the commission ' is of itself a reproach more eloquent and j more stinging than any language of j criticism or denunciation could be. In the annals of beneficence there is scarcely recorded a more dismal failure to carry out and render effective the generous impulses of the people of an entire nation. The citizens of Johnstown will have reason to remember this Flood Commission, not with emotions of grati tude, but as the chief stumbling-block in , the way of their restoration to prosperity, i —llerord. Tli© "Newfidealer" I)opk Not Answer. i A few weeks ago the Wilkes-Barre Newtdealer, commenting upon the action of 1). A. Hi, K. of T.., in endorsing the single tax movement, stated that it would have been a wiser and more con | servative course to have let that ques tion severely alone, its it "has been de ] clared in opposition to the doctrines of the Roman Catholic church by some prelates of that body." We asked of the writer his authority for that state ment and lie refers us to some bnck | numbers of George's Standard , and tells us we can find evidence in them that such opposition has been declared. The back numbers of the Standard would certainly be most uninviting to wade into for that information, and we must decline any such undertaking. It would be more to the point for the Newsdealer j to name the prelates or give the dates of the Standard containing the information ' we have requested. The question was asked in good faith and we expected a more definite answer. SEVERAL counties of Georgia have recently abandoned prohibition after unsuccessful experiments. Every where there are evidences of a popu lar reaction against the prohibitory movement. That movement has seen its best days and will soon be num bered among the fallacies of the , past. At tlie Threshold. Within the portals of dead centuries. Old year, you pass to-niKlit, And by the rednens of my inglc-llKht ' I muse alone. Why should It make me ifrlevo, Old year, that you so soon must take your leave? I have not known O'er much of kindness since you flrst found birth That I should weep you vanished from this earth. 1 have not known—Ah! 'tis the "might have been" That makes my heart so sore. And starts the hot unwilling tears onco The twelve-month past Into my life has brought ! Not eon a tithe of what my dreams had thought. Vet. why so fast? Tarry a while and teaeli rno how to bear The disappointments lotted to my share. What! wlll't not stay? Ah, then, companion, friend. One hand-clasp, e'er you go A fleeting shadow through the night and snow. Another year Walts entrance at the door. Perchance of grief and tears he brings me Perchance of cheer. Hut he will help me read the lessons you Have written out. And so, old year, adieu. —(lood Housekeeping, THE VEILED CLIENT. It was the gloomiest of gloomy clays. There was not a redeeming feature about it. If it had only rained there might have been music in the drops; if it had snowed we could have 'flivetl over 1 ' the beautiful poem, hut it did neither, and now late in the afternoon the air was a thick, damp vapor, and the street ankle deep with slush and mud that an unpaved western towu supplies so bountifully and readily. Then, again, the life of a young at torney is not always one whirl of ex citement and pleasurable results. Not a living soul except a bootblack—just as if we should ever need bootblacks again—had entered the door that day. In vain had I tried to give my mind ovor to the ordinary statutes, and then in despair sought tlie more invit ing stimulants of Regina vs. Reynolds; even the gossip of a great leading ease failed to inspire me, and wearily I turned from my books to my thoughts and from my thoughts to my gloom. It was just then, before I had as cended to the realms of suicidal pur pose —for I walk that way slowly— that tlie door knob hesitatingly, cau tiously turned and I—was again hard at work, pen in hand, with one ej'o on the paper and the other on the door. 1 won't make any diagnosis of just how fast my heart was beating, if per uilventure the door would open, and somebody that was somebody should come in. I could endure the suspense no longer, and looked squarely up. The door had opened, and, though the evening shadows were gathered tniek and fast, I could see that my visitor was in dress and manners a lady—the most significant word in the greatest of languages. Iler veil concealed her face, but old or young, ugly or pretty, her thoughts probably were: "Here's a young man —very young—he hasn't had much experience—don't think he ever did such work before —it would help him, but that don't help me —I had better look." But I interrupted my own forebod ing by springing to my feet with a "Good evening, madam. Step in; I'm through witli matter in hand—a little pressed now, with term time upon us, but havo an hour to spend to-day such a dull day. Sit down!" and my first triumph was won, for she was seated. Then I swept my books from me with an air of relief, as if any problem she might agitate would be child's play compared with what 1 had just passed through. I had not yet so much as caught the color of her ej'es, and couldn't but wonder why she kept her veil drawn so closely—unless she was meditating s sudden* flight to the office of the bald-headed wretch across the way, who had a few grey h,eirs and more experience, you kuow, but a bad at tack of rheumatism, too, thank heaven, which I devoutly trusted was keeping him on so bad a day as this. "I want you to wrte a will,'" she suddenly began, in a half-halting voice. "Certainly, madam," I answered, nobly resolving to strengthen the faith within her; and pulled half a quire of legal cap toward mo and thought of ! the solemn opening and the weighty formalities of its publication. "It is to be my husband's will," she added. "Ho dare not como out on such a da} r as this," and she shivered so prettily that I was reconciled with the weather for the first time that day. "Hadn't I better come to your house?" I ventured to suggest. "Oh, no! not now," she answered, with a little sigh. "It might excite him too much. But ho maybe bolter to night, and I will send the carriage for you then. It will not make any differ ence, will it, about the will being bind- I ing?" And something told me she j was peering anxiously at me. I "Of course, madam, if ho then fully 1 and voluntarily adopts it as his, it is i just the same as if I took it down from his own lips." "Well, wo want—ho wants —to leave all his real and personal property to ine, with full power as executrix—and I am to take charge of his only child, and make her such allowance as I shall j think wise." | "What is your daughter's name?" i "She is not my daughter," she ans wered, with the slightest token of gathering animation in her voice, j "Ah, yes; just so," said I nervously | fumbling with the paper. "She's your ! step-daughter?" "Yes, sir." "What's her name? You see I must mention it." "Mabel Cecil," she haltingly spoke. "A deuced pretty name! I remark ed to myself. I wonder why she wants j to stumble so over pronouncing it?" And then I tried to forgot all about | it as I took up my pen and began: j "I—l—Ah! Pardon me, madam, but what's your husband's name?" What fools men are when a little excited, especially young lawyers sit ting up with an early case! "Robert E. Cecil." "I, Robert E. Cecil, of the county of Herkimer, State of , do make and publish this my last will and testa ment: "I give, bequeath, and devise to my dearly beloved wife"— "Ah! pardon, madam, but what's your name?" "Lucy L. Cecil." "To my dearly beloved wife, Lucy L. Cecil, all my real and personal property of whatsoever kind and uu | lure, after the payment of all my just dobts; and I heroby commit to her guardianship my only child, Mabel Cecil, for whom there shall be made such an allowance and maintenance as uiv beloved wife inav scum lit. "And I hereby appoint Lucy L. Cecil | my solo executrix of this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all 1 former wills by me made. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, this third day of Novem ber A. 1). 187-." "I suppose you understand," I un- \ dertook to explain, "that this will vests all your husband's property in ! you, and to leave your daughter's | allowances to your discretion is to | leave, at law, nothing in her own ; right. The provision is, in short, meaningless, except that it shows that j the testator had her in his mind when 1 he made his will, and so far makes it all the more binding. "Exactly!" She spoke with anima tion. "It's his wish—and I shall see that you are well paid for your trouble ami counsel—the carriage will be here very soon." And she was goue as quickly as sho had come. Tho remark about payment had en- ; tered a very thread-bare coat, and had struck right home. "But it's too much, all the same, pay or no pay," I growled, "to cut that girl off that way without a cent! But it's the old story —I can't help it!" and 1 sank back with a philosophical smile on my face. Then—just in sport, in a fit of malignant satisfaction—l took up a second sheet of legal cap, and scrib bled thereupon, with a formal opening and close, that this same Robert E. Cecil gave all his property to his dearly-beloved daughter, Mabel Cecil, and left the lady of the veil where tho law found her. "But such is the history of the world!" I concluded, solemnly, "ever such, and what a gulf, deep, impassa ble, between what ought to be and what is! How I should like to bridge it over!" And 1 buttoned up my coat, and walking to the window, imagined I could see through the darkness the coming of the carriage of Mme. Cecil. The time dragged slowly, very slowly, and I never felt more genuine relief than in hearing heavy wheels grinding through the mud aud slush, , and a knocking at the door to notify me the carriage was ready. I sprang into tho carriage, and away we dashed through such darkness that I could not for the life of me discover to what portion of the town wo were being driven. But in a very short we came to a sudden halt, and the car riage door opened. Tho coachman conducted me up the brown stone steps, where the open door was already awaiting me, and 1 stepped into a dimly-lighted hall. As 1 did so a lady, whose figure and manners told mo she was Mine. Cecil, glided from a side room, aud with a little plaintive smile bade mo follow at once. But in that instant I read her face and, perhaps her charac ter. She might have been 85, only she didn't look it, with those brilliant black eyes, pearly teeth aud elegant manners; but behind all there I read the positive force that, turned to good, may save a country, but given over to evil would sacrifice everything to suc cess. Noiselessly she glided over the heavy carpets, and as silently I followed her. She passed into tho library—as 1 in stinctively felt—into the chamber of death; even elegant furniture and costly paintings and embroidered coverlets are not to overawe our des- I tiny. "Mr. Cecil, the lawyer has come," she shortly said, as she stooped over the emaciated face of a silver-haired man. "What? Who?" as ho started from a seeming stupor, and looked won deringly at me from his sunken eyes. "He will read it to you now, Mr. Cecil;" adding in a low tone: "lie is sinking rapidly; I fear that you must hasten." I felt that I must. I seated myself at his bedside, and us 1 did so I saw his lips tremble, and I believed they wore breathing a name; I imagined it was, "Mabel." Our boldest moves are born upon the spur of the moment. "Mrs. Cecil, may I trouble you for a glass of water?" I asked, and I took out the will sho had drawn. "Quick, sir, quick?" said I, as I no ticed his sunken eyes watching her hastening footsteps. "Do you want your daughter to have all your prop erty, save what the law gives your wife?" lie started back from 1110 as if ho could not trust his own senses, or was doubting whether to put confidence in me; but he seemed to feel tho necessity of doing so, aud suddenly tho dull eyes brightened with a momentary gleam of relief aud joy as he clearly ans wered: "Yes, yus! Ami God bless you!" And I, too, was thanking heaven for the whim that had led mo to write two wills so very like in strength and ap pearance, and it was only the work of a moment to make the change, and just in timo. I With Mrs. Cecil came the house keeper and a man servant, and in their presence the dying man tremblingly signed his name to the second will, anil they witnessed it. j '1 hey had gone, and I started to go, when the okt man pressed my hand, ltd I saw the tears gathering in his eyes. As I turned to go I involnntar -1 ily felt that the black eyes of Madam Cecil had witnessed all and suspected , everything. "1 should like to soo that will?" she | said tirmly, in a low voice. "Some other time. He's dying, Mrs. i Cecil." "So much tho greater reason, sir! Show it to me." I looked her one instant, calmly and suggestively in the face, and then started for tho door. "Stop!" she cried, and a tiny silver mounted revolver gleamed in her liaud. "My God! Mrs. Cecil, you have killed him! He has died at your hands!" I ■ cried, as I heard a strange sound be hind me, and would have turned if all the revolvers in the universe had boon pointed at me. The old man's arms had been lifted as in prayer, but now sank withered upon the pillow, while his eyes stared at us in the rigidity of death. He was dead. Instinctively Madam Cecil seemed to recognize that it was all over, and, lowering her weapon, hissed at mo be tween her pearly teeth: "You've played mo false—go! go! or I will shoot you!" And I went, gladly enough, from the brown stone front, with its treach ery, its wickedness and avarice, into the dark night and muddy stroets. But I had carried out tho wishes of tho poor, dragooned husband, and Mabel received her own. As soon after as her share of the estato oould bo obtain ed tho wretched woman disappeared from the neighborhood, and it was ; understood had sailed for Australia, i Although, a young and almost brief less lawyer, l was appointed Mabel's guardian, and I so faithfully fulfilled my trust that after six years, when she was a little more than 18, she gave herself as well as her estate into my keeping; and as I write this, after my cosy tea, and as Mabel leans ou the baek of my chair watching the rapid strokes of my pen, she declares that I did not praise myself at ail in the grand act of justice I did, and the courage I showed at the revolver's mouth to sustain her rights.— Albany Evening Journal. Industries in Ancient Ireland. Poets aud rhetoricians have in their usual free and easy way exaggerated the material prosperity of ancient Ire laud. Much of the splendor attributed to Keltic kings and bishops aud bards fades under tne cold light of historical research. But this very research has put beyond all doubt that beneath the exaggerations of rhetoric and song there lay a solid substratum of truth. Thus the publication by a Parliament ary commission of the immense and previously almost unexplored mass of legal institutes known as the "Brelion Laws" has verified the fact that at a time when Britons were almost naked savages the Irish Kelts were clad in woollens and linens of their own manu facture. The Brelion Laws abound with references not only to woollen aud linen goods, but to carding, weav ing, dyeing and the other processes of their manufacture. Again, in the re markable metrical account of the rights of the monarchs of Ireland aud of the provincial kings, attributed to a contemporary of St. Patrick, and known as the Book of Rights, we find that tribute was paid to a large exteut | in cloaks, tunics, mantles, and other articles of woollen and linen manufac ture, some white, some brown, some ! trimmed with purple, some with fur, and some with gold. We can see for ourselves something of what was done in the more durable materials. Textile fabrics, except of the coarsest kind, perish iu far less time than twelve hundred years. But metal-work, if good in material and design, survives. Accordingly we have abundant specimens of such work come down to us from the Keltic period. Many of these are rough, but many , are rich in material, good in design, and exquisitely skillful in workman ship. Some were found deep below the surface of our bogs, where proba bly they wore dropped in flight, and got gradually covered with peat iu the slow lapse of centuries. Others were found in stone chambers made for their reception and forgotten for more than a thousand years. Vast quanti ties of the gold-work were consigned to the crucible. Some goldsmiths esti mate that they purchased and melted down as much as £IO,OOO worth of ancient Keltic gold-work found from time to time iu Ireland. But fortun ately much has been preserved. There is quite a magnificent collection of works in gold, silver, and bronze in the museum of the ltoyal Irish Acad emy in Dublin. Besides these there are many fine specimens in Trinity College, Dublin, aud iu the British Museum, London.— Commissioner Mc- Carthy, in Harper's Magazine. Written or Printed Invitations. i Some persons imagine that because invitations are written or engraved 011 visiting cards it is proper to answer by writing on their own cards. This is a mistake; it is not. thought "good form" to accept or decline an invitatiou in this way. Many persons do not an swer "at homo" invitations, on the 1 ground that they are worded in such a manner as to make a response unneces sary. An answer should be written on note paper if at all, aud written out in full, as thus: Mr. Thomas Jones accepts with pleas ure Mrs. Thomas I)ami's polite invita tion for Thursday evening next. Invitations to afternoon teas and re ceptions, do not require any answer. Guests leave their cards, as they enter the house, or send (their cards) if they are unable to be presented on the oc casion. In answering any invitation, great care should be taken to do so in a polite and painstaking manner, and one corresponding in form with the original note or card. Thus a written invitation must never receive a verbal auswer, and a note written in the third person, must not be answered in the first, or vice versa. Good House keeping. Sculpture. (Sculpture must first be a common place, a fashionable necessity in homo life, before it cau flourish gready and nationally iu a commonwealth like ours. The field of the sculptor as the rival of the painter in the daily affec tions of amateurs is practically uu worked, scarcely suspected; yet the signs of its presence are on all sides. One straw is the removal of an old prejudice against plaster-casts, used in lieu of costlier materials. As to what is now called sculpture—backed as it is by 110 large mass of trained, cultivated fosterers —the silent na tion of marble aud bronze statues which men think of when sculpture is mentioned becomes already oppressive. Our parks will soon offer the cluttered chaos of the cemetery and become a derison. But will not then a wider taste, wearying of easel pictures aud pictures on the wall, carved woods and bric-a-brac, turn to statuary for agreeable, companionable forms of art, at ouco calmer in temperament and more indestructible than the fash ionable decorations of our homes? It is only by beginning at the fireside | that we can cultivate the public taste ty the love of Athens and Florence, and have the kuowlego to bid our sculptors grapple with those grandest forms of art that for the backgrounds demand a sea, a landscape, or a steepled town.— Henry Eckford, in the Century. Something Xcw in Glass. A new Persian industry is tho manu facture of hoar frost glass, which is cov ered with feathery patterns resembling those naturally produced upon window 1 panes in cold weather. The glass is first given a ground surface, either by the sand-blast or the ordinary method, and is then coated with soft varnish. I The varnish contracts strongly in dry ing, taking with it tho particles of glass to which it adheres, and this pro duces very accurately tho branching crystal of frostwork. A single coat 1 gives a delicate effect, and several coats yield a bold design.
