For the informution of Advertisers, and others Interested in knowing, we make mention of the fact that we begin this year with a circulation of NINE TEEN HUNDRED copies. It costs the Commonwealth between four and five thousand dollars a day to pay the expenses of the Legislature, but that fact seems to make no Impression upon the "collective wisdom" assembled at Harrlsburg. Those of the members who have been active in saddling this unnecessary expense upon the State may rest assured that they will be borne in constant memory by their constituents when they next come before them for support. If Congress would but agree to ad journ at some dny In the near future,say the 10th of May, inexpressible relief would be afforded the country. As long as the financial tinkers and tariff mend ers are at work so long will people be at a loss what course In business to pursue, and as long as this feeling of doubt pre vails so long will be delayed the return of the better times for which we have been so ardently hungering. Philadel phia Star. - European Affairs. The St. Petersburg Agence Eume con firms the report that the proposition for the simultaneous withdrawal of the fleet and the Russian forces from the vicinity of Constantinople has been ac cepted in principle, and adds that the negotiations continue relative to the withdrawal and to a preliminary con ference to settle the programme of the Congress. A dispatch from Constantinople says the report that new difficulties have arisen in connection with the mediation of Germany Is contradicted. Mr. Lay ard has received Information that an ar rangement for the withdrawal to Adrl anople and Besika Bay is probable. In telligence in regard to the military situ ation is less encouraging. A Resurrection that didn't Come. J. H. Van Scheets, a native of Kutz town, Berks county, died on Sunday morning, April 14, at Orwigsburg, Schuylkill county,' in the 30th year of his age. His body was coffined and placed in the grave on the following Wednesday, but the grave" was left open, and the lid of the coffin not screwed down some of his friends thinking he was in a trance. In this condition he was left until Saturday 20th, his friends visiting the body every day to see if there was any sign of returning life. Being certain that he was dead the cof fin lid was screwed down and the grave filled up. A Western Tornado. Sioux City, Iowa, April 22. A terri ble cyclone swept over the county east and west of this city yesterday after noon, entering the State above the Mis souri Valley Junction, passing north easterly across to Storm Lake, Pomeroy and Fonda. In Monona county trees were torn up by the roots and houses wrecked. One residence was struck and torn to pieces, and a man standing in one of them picked up, carried over the main buildings and set down uninjured. The force of the storm was terrific. Horses and cattle were picked up and carried considerable distances. Near Onawa a house was destroyed and the contents scattered for miles. The track of the storm was from half a mile to a mile and a half wide. Very heavy hail aooompanied the wind-storm. On the Illinois Central railway, east of here, the damage is more serious and is ac companied by loss of life. A whirl-wind or tornado passed over Storm Lake from the southwest, three-quarters of a mile east of town. The residence of Alfred King was struck, lifted from its founda tion and dashed into thousands of pieces. Kr. King's mother was instantly killed. Trees in orchards were torn off and car ried away. The house of Mr. DeGraff, half a mile from King's, was unroofed, and some hogs and cattle were killed. After the storm, the town of Storm Lake was crowded with men seeking surgeons to attend the sufferers. The damage south of here is very great. Re ports say there were four killed and forty wounded. Wall Lake, la., April 22. A fierce tornado struck this town yesterday, de stroying a portion of it and Injuring three persons. GALiwiirno, 111., April 22. A terri ble storm of hall and rain visited this city yesterday. Glass was broken and fruit trees badly damaged. At Buda, east of here, houses and stocks of goods were considerably injured. Swallowed by a Sluice. Memphis, April 22. On, last Thurs day night while a party of men were en gaged in cutting back the levee near the lower end of Lake Bolivar, in Bolivar county, Miss., to let off a heavy body of water caused by unprecedented rains,the whole party were caught in the sluice, and, with the exception of Captain Briscoe, all were swallowed up in the vortex. Briscoe was rescued after being in the water more than an hour. The names of the lost are Capt. Foetly, a planter, two brothers named Moran and an unknown laborer. Destructive Storms In Ohio. Warren, Ohio, April 24. A heavy wind and rain storm passed over this place at 11:15 this morning. The roof of the new Methodist church was blown off, damaging Judge Yeoman's resi dence considerably in its descent. During the storm Judge Molton Sutliff dropped dead from apoplexy. The casting house of the furnace was blown down. Trues dell & Townsend's warehouse at their factory was demoralized, also the stock. The manuiactory and the city planing mill stock, several houses, chimney's, and trees were wrecked in all direc tions. Tramps on the Rampage. Montreal, April 23. A large gang of tramps entered St. John, Quebec, hist night and paraded the streets this morn ing flourishing revolvers and acting in a riotous manner. The police made ten arrests. One of the party made a des perate resistance, firing Bix shots at the town inspectors before he was captured. Nearly all the prisoners carried arms. The appearance of some of the party leads to the belief that they are more than ordinary tramps. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, April 25, 1878. A lack in the way of children's clothing, that has long been felt, is at last supplied, in the colored trimmings, Hamburg and laco,that are now so much in vogue. Moth ers have revolted against clothing their lit tle girls in brown linen school dresses, while white or very light muslins, cambrics and points are too eazily mussed for school. But now dull linens may be brightened up with cardinal red, navy-blue or buff em broidery, and are converted at once iuto neat, dressy frocks. The more delicate embroideries are to be used for white dress trimming both for children and ladiee, and white dresses arc to be much worn the coming season. Now that water color painting is bo much affected, we see all sorts of articles decora ted iu that manner ; from easter eggs and wax caudles to kid gloves and ear-rings. The candles and gloves are in poor taste, being so soon worn out and burnt out ; but the dainty silk lockets and ear-rings are things of beauty. Among the prettiest effects in this decorating line we see toilet articles. Pincushions with delicate silk coverings upon which are painted sprays of flowers aud vines, and, what is just now particu larly the rage, the toilet bottles sheathed iu white or tinted silk, trimmed with lace and ribbon aud painted in flower sprays, medallions, or any design preferred. These are to be seen in every druggist's window, more extensively in New York, of course, than here for we get the majority of our little fleeting fancy styles from there. New York is Washington's Paris. The old and well known Hutchinson family are here singing. They have given a dozen grand concerts in the last six weeks hero, besides Binging at various char itable institutions the Reform Bohool, Freedman's Hospital, Orphan Asylum, and Insane Asylum. Only one of the original "boys" is now in the troupe John. But I fancy none but singers are allowed to marry into the "Family," and so it is kept up. The inventor of that last wonder.the pho nograph, was here last week with bis origi nal instrument, the workings of which be exhibited at the Scientific. Congress then in session at the Bmithsonian Institute. Mr. Edison is but 81 years old, rather me dium size, round forehead, chestnut brown hair, grayish blue eyes clear and bright, large nose and mouth, square chin, white skiu and quiet modest manners. He is slightly deaf and so engrossed in his own special line of inventions that he has little interest in other branches of science. The phonograph is in its inventor's own language, "a thin diso or diaphragm of iron, beneath which Is a fine steel point, which moves up aud down by the vibra tions of the diso. Beneath this is a revolv ing cylinder, on which is a spiral groove. On the axis of the cylinder is a screw, the distance between the threads being the same distance between grooves on the cyl inder. The cylinder is covered with a sheet of tin-foil and when the cylinder is revolv ed the steel point presses the tin-foil into the spiral groove. If the diaphragm be mailo to vibrate by the voice, the steel point makes a series of indentations iu the tin-foil grooves cor responding to the sounds uttered. On go ing over again the same groove with the steel point, by setting the cylinder again at the starting point, that is, by going over the same ground, the indentations in the tin foil cause the membrane again to vi brate precisely as at first, thus reproduc ing the sounds originally ruado. The same sound wave made first Is returned in whatever shape it was made ; your words for example, are preserved in the tin foil, and will come back upon the application of the Instrument years after you are dead, In exactly the same tone of voice you spoke tuem." Mr. Edison took it up to the Senate Chamber on Friday to show it to the hon orable gentlemen there, some of whom were very skeptical about it. Senator Bock was one of those, but when he spoke into the machine, "I don't believe in you, I think you are a humbug," and heard his very words, tones uud inflections, spoken back at him, he was convinced.

E2F" The Pittsburgh Leader says : A two-year old daughter of Mr. Charles Owens, colored, met with a horrible death a fow days ago, at the h ome of its parents, in Home wood. The child was fastened into a chair by the mother previous to her going to a neighbor's store. When she re turned the child had fallen over into the fire and death had resulted ere she could relieve it. O" A Waterbury man was much annoy ed by a neighbor's dog, so he bought it for $5 and killed It. The former owner of the dog hunted up the carcass aud cut off the nose. This he presented to the selectmen's office, for which he received $1, the bounty paid for killing dogs, and went and bought another dog, much to the disgust of his annoyed neighbor. tlP The base ball season has opened In Cambria county.

Alientown, Pa., April 23. Henry Oabrll & Son's woolen mills were olosed to-night owing to financial depression. Their liabilities are $48,000 ; assets, f 30, 000.

After a search of several hours Heffner was found dead, but the location of Krell was not discovered uutil evening.

At Vienna, 111., a number of dwelling bouses and other buildings were.' uuroofed and others were injured by the wind storm. No person is reported killed or seriously Injured. tW A man died in New York a fow days ago of trichiuois, after prolonged and very intense suffering. The origin of the horrible disease was traced to a piece of pork, of which the deceased and his family sparingly partook about Christmas, and which no doubt contained trichinae spiralis. The frequency of deaths from this cause, and the terrible sufferings of the victims of trichinae, have led to a number of scleutifio Investigations by members of the Academy of Natural Sciences. These investigations proved that this parasitio worm was to be found in nearly all cats and dogs, and even in horseB. That they are common in hogs is well known, but it is not so well known that they are very tenacious of life, and that they live and thrive undor circum stances which would cause the destruction of almost any other living thing. Those who are in the habit of eating pork will do well to bear this fact in mind, and see that it is thoroughly cooked always. Remedy For Hard Times.
