It seems strange that coffee should be Bent from Philadelphia to Brazil, but that It Is done la proven by the following from the North American : The export of coffee from this city to Para for work men on the Mamore Railroad strikes many as strange. But steam makes It easier to lay down Rio products at Para via Philadelphia than direct. The fact adds to the motives for communication. A Liberal Offer. A wealthy Illinois farmer, possessing a number of farms and costly houses, in reported to have visited the family of William Coldren, of Womelsdorf,and to have made an offer of a farm of 200 acres of the best land in Illinois and $4,000 In cash to a son of Mr. Coldren 's If he would return with him to the West and marry his only daugher.

Alex.,Stephens on His Dignity. Augusta, Ga., June 20. Alexander H. Stephens spoke here to-night to an immense audience. He vindicated his course on the Potter resolution by the logic of subsequent events, and declared he could not be ruled out of the party by the political tricksters. He said if the coming democratic convention failed to nominate him he would appeal to the people. He also said Hayes was doing more for the people of the south than Tilden could have done, and declared that he himself would die in the temple of Jeffersonian democracy, free from the party lash and caucus lasso. Boiler Explosion at Harrisburg. At an early hour on Tuesday morning a boiler explosion occurred iu the puddle mills of the Chesapeake nail works owned by Chas. L. Bailey & Bro., in the lower portion of Harrisburg, the report of which was heard for miles and the re sult of which was the instant killing of one man and the dangerous injuring of three others and the destruction of prop erty valued at about $20,000. The number of boilers exploded was four, all of which occupied positions ten feet from the ground. The explosion oc curred at 3:30 A. M., while Chambers . Bowermaster, who had charge of the boilers, was inspecting them. He was thrown a distance of forty feet and was picked up with the top of his head blown off. His form was horribly mutilated ,and nearly all his clothing was torn from his body. John Hess and John Hetrick,two employees who had been sitting together near the boilers, were hurled about 20 feet amid the flying lumber and iron, re ceiving injuries of a supposed fatal char acter. Geo. Frank, in a distant part of the building, was struck by a flying frag ment, breaking his skull. A fireman of one of the furnaces escaped with slight injuries. Two boilers, twenty-six feet long.were blown northward, and two of a similar length southward, the latter having the greater force. The larger portion of one of these reached an elevation of about 50 feet, and landed in a field seven hundred feet distant, after having taken a portion of the roof off the plate mill, about five hundred feet from the starting point Another passed through three roofs of buildings,connected with the works,and forced its way through kegs filled with nails, covering an area of six feet, and through an eighteen inch brick wall. These pieces weighed from one-half to two tons. The larger portions of the other boilers struck the stone gable end of a building and knocked it in. A piece weighing several hundred pounda was thrown con siderably further. The bricks in the mill in which the boilers were located extends over, an area of from forty to one hun dred feet. People in the neighborhood wee al most thrown from their beds by the shock. The cause of the accident is un known. The loss is fully covered by in surance. Six Men Clean out a Party of Harvest Hands, About 2 o'clock Tuesday morning some fifty men in box cars, at Alton Junc tion, were attacked by six men with re volvers, and all the money In the party was taken, amounting to about $50 or $00. The robbers would go through one car, then lock It up, and go through an. other, until they were all captured. The gang are supposed to have gone toward Bunker Hill. It Is believed to be the same crowd that came from St. Louis last Saturday. They were around Alton Junction all day Sunday. An Army of Tramps. An Illinois paper of last week says: At Jacksonville about 200 tramps board ed conductor George Heller's freight train on the Wabash, saying they In tended to ride, as they had had all the walking they wanted. Every possible device was employed to get them off the train, but to no purpose. The tramps were determined to stay. The railroad employes were entirely too few to cope with this mob. The consequence was that the tramps stayed on the train until it reached Qulncy, when they got off and scattered throughout the city, a number of them being arrested during the night by the police. While the train was at Jacksonville, Conductor Heller notified the officials along the line of the condition of affairs. In consequence of the danger it waB feared the express train, which left Qulncy in the afternoon, mightbe board ed by the tramps, and, to prevent this, It was merely slowed at Jacksonville, the passengers for that city being assist ed to alight while the train was in motion, and the baggage and mail being taken on and put off on the run. Over 200 more of these trauips, the majority of them claiming to be harvest ers in the search of work, arrived on the War Eagle irom St. Louis the other day. They have not yet commenced to go up the river, but go out into the suburbs of the city, and the county 1b now nearly overrun with them. Passengers on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy and the Wabash report the railroad tracks lined with them for miles. Father and Mother Tramping Across Continent. tho The Des Moines JfewB says : A News reporter met an old gentleman and lady at the depot to-day who stated that they had walked from Harrisburg, Pa., to Des Moines, and that they were on their way to Nebraska, about one hundred miles west of Omaha, to visit some friends whom they had not seen for many years. The man appeared to be about sixty years of age, who carried a large valise, and the old lady said she would be seventy-one years of age this fall. She stated that they had left Har risburg the first day of April and had walked some every day since, regardless of the weather. How a Merchant Received a Burglar. A North Manchester, Ind. special says : " At one o clock thlB morning W. T. Green, of the firm of Green & Vanbusklrk, of Ijamsville, a little station three miles west of here, on the Eel River Road, was awakened from his sleep by some one cutting at the west window of the storeroom in which he was sleeping. He quietly reached for his revolver and held himself in readi ness. The thief soon raised the window sash and crawled about half way through, when he hesitated and jumped out again. Mr. Green then took a kneeling posi tion and held a steady aim on the open wfndow. Soon the thief put in an ap pearance and again peered into the room. He must have suspected that some one was inside, for he called to his partner, saying if the was inside they would make short work of him. At this point Green fired, and the thief rolled out of the window dead, and his partner, who was on the outside, made his escape. The ball entered his skull, and he died without a struggle. Massachusetts' Justice. New Bedford, Mass., June 24. Sanger Chace, the defaulter, has been sentenced to twelve years in the State prison, two days solitary. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, June 27, 1878. Not since the time of counting the elec toral vote has the Capitol presented so ant mated an appearance as was the case the last few days and evenings of the lately adjoomed session. The weather was perfect, the city full of people, and there was every prospect of exceptionally interesting and lively times in Congress. For these and other similar reasons every seat was occu- pied and every corridor thronged with peo ple, those last days. They wore mostly doomed to disappointment, however, for no exciting scenes occurred aside from the hurrying through many important measures with seeming indifference and carelessness. Perhaps I ought to except a little bout be tween Ben. Butler and a brother Member on the Fishery Award question. The Presi dent threatened tbat if Congress failed to attend to that matter before adjournment be would immediately call them together again in extra session for the purpose of having it settled. When the matter was brought up Gen. Butler wanted to speak upon the question and, being opposed, he raised such rumpus as only he is able to do, and could only be quited by the force of the Sergeant-At-Arms. He roared, and pounded and shook himself nenrly to pieces, the Speaker's commands and gavll having no more effect upon his eloquence (?) than so many mosquitoes would have had. The Senate pnid Mrs. Vlnnle Ream Iloxle the compliment of voting to give her husband a chance to hold his District Of fice. By the provisions of the bill for tbe Government of the District, no commis sion of rank lower than that of Captain can be selected, so Lieut. Iloxle was shut off. The Senator who offered tbe amendment iu his favor was charged on the floor with hav ing made tho motion at the Instance of Mrs. Iloxie, and he did not deny the soft ' impeachment. Notwithstanding Mrs. Hayes' endeavors to keep the details of tbe White House wedding of Inst week from the press and public, they were all in print tbe following morning after the ceremony, even to the bride's costume and the wedding supper. It was a pretty wedding nothing could be fairer. It occurred in tbe Blue Room, tbe most delicate and handsome room in tbe Mansion, being finished and furnished wholly Iu light blue, white, gold and natu ral gray. On the night of tbe wedding this room was most beautifully decorated with vines and flowers, nn immense mar riage bell of white blossoms being hung bo- tween the windows while on either side were the monograms of tbe bride and groom, also iu white flowers. Under the bell stood tbe " happy pair" and tbe Bishop.asmall group there were no brides maids of groomsmen. Miss Piatt was in greamy-white brocade trimmed extensively with orange blossoms. Tbe bridal veil of tulle fell over her face in front and trailed on tbe floor at tbe back, being confined to tbe head by a wreath of orange blossoms. She is a pretty girl, finely educated, has traveled abroad, and with all that is un spoiled. Her husband, Gen. Russell Hast ings, was in tbe same regiment with Stanley Matthews, Gen. Rosecrans (then Colonel) and President Hayes (then Major). He was wounded in the knee at Opecquan and is still lame, but has a fine, command ing figure, nevertheless. The wedding guests numbered about fifty. Mrs. Hayes wore a princess robe of cream-colored faille with white chenille gauze. Mrs. Mitchell (the bride's sister) was in pale blue satin with tea roses for ornaments. Many of the guests were children, neaily all connected with both families being present. Tbe Presi dent escorted Mrs. Mitchell in tbe wedding procession ; Mrs. Hayes, tbe groom ; while the bride leaned on hor father's arm, who gave her away. The party left town tbe same evening. Mrs. Hastings' traveling dress was of invisible green camels' hair and silk. Olive. Indigestion. Tbe main cause of nervousness is indi gestion, and that is caused by weakness of the stomach. No one can havo sound nerves aud good health without using Hop Bitters to strengthen tbe stomach, purify tbe blood, aud to keep tbe liver and kid neys active, to carry off all the poisonous and waste matter of the system.

The Congregational church in New ton, Mass., resolved to reduce the pastor's salary from $4,000 to $3,000, whereupon he announced from the pulpit that he would not submit to a cent of decrease. tW The farmers in some portions of Morgan county, and other sections of Mid dle Georgia, where tbe late storm devastated eveything, are discharging their hands, as they they consider their crops are beyond redemption. A dispatch from Brady's Bend says during a storm on Friday the wife of Chas. Hemerly, of Armstrong run, was instantly killed by a flash of lightning. Colonel Temploton, of Brady's Bend, was consider ably injured by the same shock. Mrs, Hemerly leaves three small children. tW Gangs of outlaws infest tho vicinity Owensville, Indiana. Ou Monday night an attempt was made to assassinate a prom inent oitizen named Montgomery. He for tunately escaped, and a large party of citi zens were searching for the outlaws. tW Mrs. Ellen Peck, wife of a steam ship engineer, residing in Brooklyn, was charged by Babbitt, the soap manufacturer, of New York, yesterday, with dofrauding him out of $10,000 by means of false repre sentations in regard to bonds taken by an embezzling clerk now in prison. tW An iron girder gave way in the fur niture factory of Hermann & Co., in New York, on Saturday, and fell to the floor be neath, were a dozen cabinetmakers were at work.

Tbe brig Confederate, coal laden, while lying off Brien island at two o'clock this morning was run into by the bark Antwerp and struck on the bows. She was cut In two, and iu three minutes after the collision the brig went down. The disaster occurred so suddenly that there was very little time for anything to be done. The crew of the Antwerp immediately wore ship, but tbe fog was so thick thnt no boats were put off to search for any of those belonging to the brig, as it would have been impossible for the boats to have found their way back. Five men were saved by catching ropos thrown from the bark or by getting upon piece sof wreck that were floating about. Three lost their lives by the collision. JU" One side of the great Corliss engine at tbe American print' works at Lowell has broken down, from some mysterious cause, and tbe resulting damage is so extensive tbat work will .be suspended for several days to make tbe necessary repairs. Tbe engine is a double one, of 1,200, horse power, and. supplies power for the entire concern. Tbe damage will amount to irom $5,000 to $3,000. tW Url Bartle, of Oxford, New York, had a troublesome toe, which was not ouly painful, but interfered with his locomotion. He sought relief of James huapley, a neighbor, tbe offending member was placed on a block, aud Mr. Sbnpley took a chisel, and with two blows of a mallet cut it off. Warren, Pa., June 20. W. 11.

Eddy, of this place, was seriously, if not fatally, wounded about 2 o'clock this morn ing while attempting to grapple a burglar, who had entered the room where he and Mrs. Anderson were sleeping.
