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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Bee other

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.
