A Weekly local and Family Journal. r -.'M?ASUM eled the path a hundred times, but there was no means of going otherwise, the path being atrociously narrow and steep, and only fit for wild goats, there being no land rail, coping or anything in the world to stay one from being hurled down 1,000 feet, and the mountain sides so inclined that 'twas a miracle the mules could find foothold and keep their balance. Prom the bottom of tho ravine oarno a constant roar of falling water, though we could spy it only now and then leaping down from one chasm to another, and more than once our guides would cry to us to stop, and that where our mules had to keep shifting their feet to get a hold, while some huge bowlder, loosened by the night's rain, flew down across our path in terrified bounds from the heights above, making the very mountain tremblo with the shook. lently munching their onions. Thus wo waited until, the fino ear of our guides catching a sound, they rose to their feet, muttering the word "padrone," and pulled off their hats as two men, mounted on mules tricked out like our own, camo round the comer and pulled up before us. But what was our surprise to see that the foremost of these fellows was none other than the Don Lopez de Calvados we had entertained to supper the night before, and of whose noble family Don Sanchez had been prating so highly, and not a thread better dressed than when we saw him last and full as dirtv. That which save us most uneasiness, however, was to observe that each of these "friends" carried an ugly kind of musket slung across his back and a most unpleasant long sheath knife in his waistcloth. meir eivinry witn a very lair preieuhe and take the seats offered us—they standing until we are set. Then they sit down, and each man lugs out a knife from his waistcloth. The caldron, filled with a mess of kid stewed in a multitude of onions, is fetched from the lire, and lDeing set upon a smooth board is slid down the table to our host, who, after picking out some tidbits for us, serves himself, and so slides it back, each man in turn picking out a morsel on the end of his knife.

Then, the bones being swept from the table, a huge skin of wine is set before Don Lopez, and he serves us each with about a quart in an odd shaped vessel with a spout, which Don Sanchez and his countrymen use by holding it above their heads and letting the wine spurt into their mouths, but we, being unused to this fashion, preferred rather to suck it out of the spout, which seemed to them as odd a mode as theirs was to us. However, lietter wine, drink it how yopi may, there is uouo than the wine of tiberfe parts, and this reconciling us considerably to our condition we listened with content to their singing of ditties, which they did very well for such rude fellows, to the music of a guitar and a tambourine. Aud so when our pots came to be replenished a second time we were all mighty merry and agreeable save Jack Dawson, who never could take his liquor like any other man, but must fall into some extravagant humor, and he, I perceived, regarded some of the company with a very sour, jealous eye because, being warmed with drink, they fell to casting glances at Moll with a certain degree of familiarity. Especially there was one fellow with a hook nose, who stirred his bile exceedingly, sitting with his elbows on the table and his jaws in his hands anil would scarcely shift his eyes from Moll, and since he could not make his displeasure understood in words, and so give vent to it and bo done, Jack sat there in sullen silence watching for an opportunity to show his resentment in some other fashion. The other saw this well enough, but would not desist, and so these two sat fronting each other like two dogs ready to fly at each other's throats. At length, the hook nosed rascal, growing bolder with his liquor, rises as if to reach his wine pot, and stretching across the table chucks Moll under the chin with his grimy fingers. porary Chairman—Incident* of the Con- the Next Move on the Polities!

Ia the light of after eventa this was not necessary, but it shows how close the Rtpnblican party in Pennsylvania came to being split In twain. The agony Is over in this part of the earth and the only one of the agonised who seems to be able to talk on the sad subject if Mr. William Connell. He declares: "We are ready to receive oondolenoes and we don't feel like showing our teeth. We put up a big flght and Quay won. He is a mighty emart man. I admire him even If I was on the other side." CHAPTER VII. we have (lone with it, as she cau bentow him nowhere else (the muleteers tilling her house to the very cockloft) and has not the heart to send him on to St. Denys in this pitiless driving rain. To this Don Sanchez replies that a Spanish gentleman is welcome to ull we can offer him, and therewith sends down a mighty civil message, begging his company at our table. W. C. T. C. CONVENTION. Skipping over many unimportant particulars of our leaving Edmonton, of our finding Don Sanchez at the Turk, in Gracious street, of our going thence (the next day) to Oravesend, of our preparation there for voyage, I come now to our eniiharking, the 10th March, in the Bell, for Bordeaux, in France. Nor shall I dwell long on that journey, neither, which was exceedingly long and painful, by reason of our nearing the equinoctials, which dashed us from our course to that degree that it was the 26th before we reached our port and cast anchor in still water. And all those days wo were prostrated with sickness, and especially Jack Dawson, because of his full habit, so that he declared he wonld rather ride a horseback to the end of the earth than go another mile on sea. Not a word spoke we; nay, we bad scarce courage at times to draw breath for two hours and more of this fearful passage, with no encouragement from our guides save that one of them did coolly take out a knife and peel an onion as though he had been on a level, broad road, and then, reaching a fiat space, we came to a stand again before an ascent that promised to be worse than that we had done. Here we got down, Moll clinging to our hands and looking around her with huge, frighted eyes. W1U be Held in Avoem, Friday, Septem- Not a word says our Don Sanchez, but feigning still to believe him a man of quality he returns the other don's salutation with all the ceremony possible. Then Don Lopez, smiling from ear to ear, begs us, as I learned afterward, to pardon him for keeping us waiting, which had not happened, he assures us, if we had not suffered him to oversleep himself. He then informs us that wo are now npon his' domain and begs us to accept such hospitality as his castello will furnish in return for our entertainment of last night. ber IStli.

Everybody looked at the two and no one thought lass of William Conosll for giving evidence of no Indian-like reeentmeut. Don Lopez makes lis a reverence, and then, with his shoulders up to his ears and like gestures, mnkes ns a harangue at some length, but this, being Spanish, is as heathen Greek to ns. However, Don Sanchez explains that our visitor is excusing his appearance as being forced to change his wet clothes for what the innkeeper can lend him, and so we, grinning to express our amiability, all sit down to table and set to—Moll with her most finicking, delicate airs and graces, and Dawson and I silent as frogs, with understanding nothing of the dons' conversation. This, we learn from Don Sanchez after supper, has turned chiefly on the best means of crossing into Spain, from which it appears there are two passes through the mountains, both loading to the same town, but one more circuitous than the other. "Shall we soon be there?" Bhe asked. To this Don Sanchez replies with a thousand thanks that we are anxious to reach Ravellos before nightfall, and that, therefore, we will be going at once if it is all the same to him. With more bowing and scraping, Don Lopez amiably but firmly declines to accept any refusal of his offer or to talk of business before his debt of gratitude is paid. With that he gives a sign to our guides, who at once lead off our mules at a brisk trot, leaving us to follow on foot with Don Lopez iiwl his companion, whom he introduces as Don Ruy del Puerto—as arrant a cutthroat rascal to look at as ever I clapped eyes on. And, the don putting this question in Spanish to tho guides, they pointed upward to a gap filled with snow, and answered that was the highest point This was some oonsolation, though we could not regard the rugged way that lay be- \ twixt us and that without quaking. Indeed, I thought that even Don Sanchez, despite the calm, unmoved countenance he ever kept, did look about him with a certain Kind of uneasiness. However, taking example from our guides, we unloosed our saddlebags, and laid out our store of victuals with a hogskin of wine which rekindled our spirits prodigiously. The first peisons to ent-r the hall were Governor Hastings, David M .rtin and Senator Porter, and they were greeted with a ronnd of applanee Roger O'Mara.of Pittsburg, Chris. Magee's superintendent of police, who had put ttie heelers in the Opera House, consulted a moment with Uavid Mrtit'n, and the latter told him thst according to the compromise all of them»n who were In the hail over nlgbt mnst retire. Then Mr O'Mara contu'ted with Charlie Voorhees, found that the lat er bad a set of doorkeepers on hand, and with an awkward shofHt be advanced to the center of the stage. Said Mr. O'Mara, as he to the shirt-sleeved crowd In ♦he family (bole: " It has been agreed upon by the Q my people and the combine that yi u must all go en', because tin re is a regular set of doorkeepers. You will file down and over the Dt*ge and out." Mr O'Mara's remark* were greeted with applans* by the Plttsburtfers, who hustled inhD their coats and got out ot the hill In ■ j'ffy. heading fi r the nearest beer saloon rneu Mr Voorhes prC dnced another set of doorkeepers, gave tbem Instructions and-they took their stations The officers are : President, Mrs. Chas. H. Cool; vice president, Mrs B Downing; oo responding secretary, Mrs. Thomas Altkea; reoordlng secretary, Mrs. F. M. Furay; treasurer, Mrs. J. N. Lee. We staid in Bordeaux, which is a noble town, but dirty, four days to refresh ourselves, and hero the don lodged us in a fine inn and fed us on the best, and also he made us buy new clothes and linen (which we sadly needed after the pickle we had lain in a fortnight) and cast away our old, but no more than was necessary, saying 'twould be better to furnish ourselves with fresh linen as we needed it than carry baggage, etc. "And let all you buy bo good goods," says he, "for in this country a man is valued at what he seems, and the innkeepers do go in such fear of their seigneurs that they will charge him less for entertainment than if he were a mean fellow who could ill afford to pay." " Especially do we thank Senator Matthew Stanley Quay for his horoio resistance to the bill throughout many weary months, lending the Republican opposition to Its enactment and finally compelling the Democratic majority in tho senate to agrco to the substitution of many protective duties for its froe trade provisions. We chargo upon tho Democratic party tho present condition of the federal treasury, wjych presents a constantly growing delicit in receipts as compared with expenditures, compelling tho borrowing of money in large amounts at exorbitant premiums in time of peace to maintain tho credit of the government. For two years tho Democratic party has had completo control of the executive and legislative branches of the national government, yet it has failed utterly to provide sufficient roven uc to moet tho ordinary wants of the government. For this failure its responsibility is absolute, and it has oxhlbited to the world such inability and faithlessness in the discharge of tho high trust committed to its care that Its history continues to exclto the coutempt and distrust of all thoughtful citizens. We favor the adoption of a fixed and well considered policy for the permanent betterment of the highways of the state, so that the means of communication by private conveyance between the farms of tho state and tho neighlDoriug markets shall be improved and encouragement bo given of the enlarged use of the highways by our citizens." nie resolutions were preparea oy men opposed to Governor Hastings, and the matter of indorsing his administration was very nearly overlooked, a thoughtful delegate offering the neocasary plank bofnt*u (Innl urHnupnmant The following programme has been arranged : And yet it was a great blow to this leader of Lickawanna polltios, and It was hard for him to stand defeat, slnoe he Is so accustomed to viotory with small effort.

Thoee who do not know him believe him to be a hard man, a money grabber, a sort of juggernaut who leavee the victims of his political and financial ambition strewn under the wheels of his oar. No greater mistake can be entertained. He has the gentlest, tenderest heart In the world ; his money is spent like water upon charities and deeds of kindnees, and while he has given some hard blows in his struggle against his environment, his political enemies know more than well how magnanimous, how noble has been hla coarse toward thoee whom he has M good reason to visit with his wrsth.

While we were at this repast our guides, starting as if they had caught a soun4 (though we heard none save the horrid bursting of water), looked down, and one of them, clapping two dirty fingers in his mouth, made a shrill whistle. Thon we, looking down, presently spied two mules far below on the path we had come, but at such a distance that wo could scarce make out whether they were mounted or not. So we with very dismal forelxxlings trudge 011, having no other course to take, Don Sanchez, to make the best of it, warranting that 110 harm shall come to ns while wo are under tho hospitable protection of a Spaniard, but to no great effect—our faith being already shaken in his valuation of Spaniards. r—1:30 o'clock. Don Lopez has come by the latter because the former is used by the muleteers, who are not always the nioet pleasant companions one can have in a dangerous road, and for this reeson he recommends us to take his way, especially as we have a young lady with us, which will be the more practicable, as the same guides who conducted him will be only too glad to servo us on their return the next morning. To this proposition we very readily agree, and supper being ended Don Sanchez sends for the guides, two hardy mountaineers, who very readily agree to take us this way tho next morning if the weather permits. And so we all, wishing Don Lopez a good night, go to our several chambers. Devotionalservioes, Mrs. William Smith; report of committee; report of superintendents ; mn lo; Bible reading, Mrs. Lucy H. Washington; paper, Mrs B. Downing; paper, Mrs. H. W. Palmer; five-minute talks, pastors and workers ; recitation; tnutlc; miscellaneous business. So not to displease him we dressed ourselves in the French fashion, more richly than ever we had been clad in our lives, and especially Moll did profit by this occasion to furnish herself like any duchess, so that Dawson and I drew lots to decide which of us should present the bill to Din Sanchez, thinking he would certainly take exception to our extravagance, but he did not so much as raise his eyebrows at the total, but paid it withont ever a glance at the items. Nay, when Moll presents herself iu her new equipment, ho makes her a low reverence and pays her a most handsome compliment, but in his serious humor and without a smile. He himself wore a new suit all of black, not so fine as ours, but very nobis and becoming, by reason of his easy, graceful manner and his majestic, high carriage. Quitting the tableland, ten minutes of leaping and scrambling brought us to a collection of miserable huts built all biggledy piggledy 011 the edge of a torrent, overtopped by a square building of more consequence, built of graystone and roofed with slate shingles, but with nothing but ill shaped holes for windows, and this Don Lopez, with some pride, told ns was his castello. A ragged crew of women and children, apprised of our coming, by the guide may be, trooped oat of the village to meet us and hailed our approach with shouts of joy, "for all the world like a pack of hounds at the sight of their keeper with a dish of bones," whispers Jack Dawson in my ear ominously. But it was curious to see how they did fall back in two lines, those that had hats taking them off as Don Lopez passed, he bowing to them right and left, like any prince in his progress. TIIK TEST VOTE "Who are they?" asks Don Sanchez sternly, as I managed to understand. An error orcured in the announcement o{ the test vote be ween the factions for temporary chairman. The vote by conn ties was as follows : "Friends," replies one of the fellows, with a grin that seemed to lay his face in two halves. At this Jack flings ont his groat fi t with all the force of contained pai-sion, catches the other right in tho middle of tho face, with such effect that tho follow flies clean back over his bench, his head striking the pavement with a crash. ■7:30 o'clock.

He Is so outspoken, so very unoompromislng under all olrcumstancee that he can ill bear defeat. Just now he goee around looking as if hs had been having a session with an awkward squad. There is a sort of touohme-not expression on his countenance that Is somewhat generally regarded by thoee who have learned to note oertain signals as though labelled " dangerous." "Wo will go on when you are ready," says Don Sanchez, turning to us. THE BULLET EXTRACTED. "Aye," growled Jack in my ear, "with all my heart. "For if these friends be of the same kidney as Don Lopez, we may be persuaded to take a better road, which Qod forbid if this he a sample of their preference." Then in an instant all his fellows spring to their feet, and a dozen lung knives flash out from their sheaths. 0 % 1 4 Patrick McCae's Condition Now Much Improved. I was awoke in the middle of the uight, as it seemed to me, by a great oommotion below of Spanish shouting and roaring, with much jingling of bells, and looking out *f the window I perceived lantorns hanging here and there ijt the courtyard and the muleteers packing their goods to depart, with a fine clear sky full of stars overhead. And scarce had I turned into my warm bed again, thankiutr God I was no muleteer, when in comes the don with a candle to say that the guide will have ns moving at once if we would reach Ravelloe (our Spanish town) ln-fore niglit. So I to Dawson's chamber, and ho to Moll's, and in a little while we were all shivering down in the great kitchen, whero is never a muleteer left, bat only a great stench of giirlic, to eat a mess of soup very hot and comforting. And after that put into the dark (thore being as yet but a faint flush of green and primrose color toward the east), where four fresh mules (which Don Sanchez overnight had biirgained to exchange against our horses its being the only kind of cattle fit for this service) are waiting for us, with two other mules belonging to our guides, all very curiously trapped out with a network of wool and little jingling bells. Dr. Hutohlns, who has been attending Patrick McCue, the man shot by Thos. Gerrity on Aug. 83d last Saturday snooeeded in taking the ball, which was of 38 calibre, from his body. The wound was similar to that of the late President Garfield. The ball entered his left slds, srtuck one of the ribs and took a downward and then an upward oourse; plowed its way through the membranous substances surrounding the intestines and lodged near the baek bone. As it was impossible to reach the ball through the wound it was neoeasary to mtke an incision in the back. The doctor, after locating it, could not get it out with his probe, and was compelled to work it out with his finger. It was a delicate operation and much credit la due the dootor for skill ss a sergeon. The chances for the injured, man'a recovery are greatly in his favor. SURVIVORS or THE 143d. So being in our saddles forth we set once more and on a path no easier than before, but worse—like a very house top for steepness, without a tinge of any living thing for succor if one fell, but only sharp, jagged rocks, and that which now added to our peril was here and there a patch of snow, so that the mules must cock their ears and feel their way before advancing a step, now halting for dread, and now scuttling oq with their tails betwixt their legs as the stones rolled under them.

At our starting Don Sanchez bade Moll ride by his side, and so we, not being bid, fell behind, and, feeling awkward in our now clothes, we might very well have been taken for their servants or a pair of ill bred friends at the best, for our Moll carried herself not a whit less magnificent than the don, to the admiration of all who looked at her. So we up to the castello, whoro all the men of the village are assembled and all armed }ike Don DCDpoz, and they greet ns with cries of "Holal" and throwing np of hats. They making way for us with salutations on b°th sides, we enter the castello, where we find one great ill paved room with a stepladder on one side leading to the floor above, bat no furniture save a table and some benches of wood, all black and shining with grease and dirt But indeed tho walls, the ceiling and all else abont us was beyond everything for blackness, and this was easily to be understood, for a wench coming in with a caldron lights a fagot of wood in a corner, where was no chimney to carry off the smoke, but only a hole in the wall with a kind of eaves over it. so that presently the place was so filled with the fumes 'twas difficult to see across it It Takes Kx-I'rexldent Harrison Ont of the I'residential Kace. iHDiANAroLis, Ind., Aug. 29. - In an editorial discussing the effect of Qaay's victory upon General Harrison's cardldacy, the New s, which Is regarded as the ex President's organ, says- "A man who has been close to General Harilson personally for several years gays that the vlotory of Senator yuay will settle General Harrison's determination not to allow his friends to bck!u any movement in his behalf; not that he and his friends do not believe that they could secure the nomination, but became the General will not allow himself to be drawn Into a congest for the nomination " Colonel Blpple will probably be a candidate for Mayor, although it cannot be asserted that he has a personal desire for the office. He Is likely to meet with the determined oppoeitlon that naturally arises agalnet a man of such strong oharaoter and pronounced actions.

The remarkable facility which this gentleman pomeeaee for always coming down safely on his feet is something worthy of comment. Indeed, providence, or whatever may be the power that looks after the devious ways of politicians, seems to be aronnd in his vicinity with a perpetual and especially downy feather bed for the reception of his person In whatever direction his cleverness may lead him to jump. He is never ruffljd nor conoernad nor unduly depressed or elated over anything that may befall him or his party, but somehow he always comes np on top. He was warned by "the powers that be" to §t«y distinctly oat of the late unpleasantness. He took the advi e and calmly sailed to Martha's Vineyard and thus was conveniently out of sight when Senator Qaay visited Scranton. But nobody thought of blaming ex-Lisut. Gtovernor Watrea.

Kearney, and daughter of Mr. and Mis. Paul Bohan, died at nine p. m. last Friday at the family home on William street, aged twenty-eight years. The news of Mia. Kearney's death was a terrible shock to her family and friends. At eleven o'olock yesterday morning, she was suddenly seised with a serious illness. Drs. Barrett and Mahon were oalled and later in the day It was thought that she wss much Improved. In the evening, however, another attack came on and reaulted In her daath. The trouble waa diagnosed by the physicians as peritonitis.

Don Lopez (always as gracious as a cat with a milkmaid) asks Moll through Don Sanchez if she would like to make her toilet while dinner is preparing, and at this offer all of us jump—choosing anything for a change, so he takes us up the stepladder to the floor above, which differs from that below In being cut up iptp half a dozen pieces by some low partitions of planks uailed loosely together like cribs for cattle, with some litter of dry leaves and hay iq each, but in respects being just as naked and grimy, with a cloud of spioke coming up through the chinks (n the floor, A 1IIG ItATTLKSNAKE AND A FIRE Then when Don Sanchez had solemnly debated whether wo should not awake Don Lopez to say farewell, and we iiad persuaded him that it would be kinder to let him sleep on, we mounted into our high, fantastic saddles, and set Grist of Interesting News From the We journey by easy stages ten days through Toulouse, on the road to Perpignan, and being favored with remarktbly fine weather, a blue sky and a bright sun above us, and at every turn toinething strange or Iteautiful to admire, no pleasure jaunt in the world could have been more delightful. At Bvery inn (which here they call hotels) we found good beds, good food, excellent wine and were treat#*! like princes, SO that Dawson and I would gladly have given up our promise ot a lortune to have lived in this manner to the end of oar days. But Don Sanchez professed to bold all on this side of the Pyrenees mountains in great contempt, saying these hotels were as nothing to tlio Spanish posadas, that the people hero would rob you if they dared, whereas, on t'other side, not a Spaniard would take so much as the hair of your horse's tail, though he were at the last extremity ; that the food was not fit for aught but a Frenchman and so forth. And our Moll, catching this humor, did also turn up her nose at everything she was offered and would send away a bottlo of wine from the table because 'twas not ripe enough, though but a few weeks before she had been drinking penny ale with a relish, and that as sour as verjuice.

Culver, the Franklin township granger, was circulating among olty friends last Friday. He had just returned from a trip to Bradford county and was well loaded with the 1 iteet news from that section. He says that the potato crop throughout Bradford is going to be poor, owlrg a lack of rain. He had a good snake story, too, on the truth of which he stakes his reputation for veracity. His eousin, Lyman Jackson, of Sonth Auburn, Susquehanna county, was going along a road a few days ago when he saw in front of him a large rattle snake which wonnd itself around a live oak tree. Mr Jackson killed the snake with a club. It measured seven feet and two inches in length, and the skin measured ten inches in width. The snake had ten rattles. "After all, Jack," says J to him at the top of my voice, being in advance and n«*xt to Din Sanchez, "after all, Don Lopez was not such a ba4 fripnd tfl us."

Tbe rtvlsed r« tarns show a majority of for Robinson, or eight more than yesterday's announcement. Upon which the don, stopping his mule at tho rink of being cast down the abyss, turns in his saddle, and says: Born and reared In Pittston of so prominent a family, Mrs. Kearney was very widely known, and her sudden taking away in the prime of womanhood, after having been married but a few years, is a dispensation of Providence difficult to understand. Her young husband, parents, brothers and sisters have the sympathy of all who know them in this hour of deep sorrow. "You will have the sole use of these chambers during yopr stay," says Don Lopez, "and for your better assurance you can draw the ladder up after you on retiring for the night." ♦'Fellow, Don Lopez is a Spaniard, a Castilian of noble birth"-— But here his male, deciding that this was no fit place for halting, bandied onward at a trot to overtake tho guides, and obliged his rider to turn his attention to other matters.

From these oaks we passed into a wood of chestnuts, and still going up and up, but by such devious, unseen ways that I think no man, stranger to these parts, could pick it out for himself in broaC} daylight, we came thence into a groat stretch of pine trees, with great rocks scattered among them, as if some mountain had been blown up and fallen in a hugo shower of fragments.

Begirding this document, there Was nuicli discussion in committee. Congressman Scranton will retnrn to night from Europe and there Is a good deal of speculation among his friends aa to what he will do. If the Tribune people really want harmony in large and boooulent lamps, as they assert, they have only to let Mr. Soranton go aa delegate to the National Convention. Such a oonrse would make a vast difference In the rapults of the Spring elections and wonld tend to promote good feeling all aronnd. So far as Ifr. Connell is concerned It la donbtful If he wonld object strennonaly to the company of the Congressman on this occasion, but "there are others and some of these will insist upon no such recognition.

Then, the bones being swept from the table, a huge skin of wine is set before Don Lopez, and he serves us each with about a quart in an odd shaped vessel with a spout, which Don Sanchez and his countrymen use by holding it above their heads and letting the wine spurt into their mouths, but we, being unused to this fashion, preferred rather to suck it out of the spout, which seemed to them as odd a mode as theirs was to us. However, lietter wine, drink it how yopi may, there is uouo than the wine of tiberfe parts, and this reconciling us considerably to our condition we listened with content to their singing of ditties, which they did very well for such rude fellows, to the music of a guitar and a tambourine. Aud so when our pots came to be replenished a second time we were all mighty merry and agreeable save Jack Dawson, who never could take his liquor like any other man, but must fall into some extravagant humor, and he, I perceived, regarded some of the company with a very sour, jealous eye because, being warmed with drink, they fell to casting glances at Moll with a certain degree of familiarity. Especially there was one fellow with a hook nose, who stirred his bile exceedingly, sitting with his elbows on the table and his jaws in his hands anil would scarcely shift his eyes from Moll, and since he could not make his displeasure understood in words, and so give vent to it and bo done, Jack sat there in sullen silence watching for an opportunity to show his resentment in some other fashion. The other saw this well enough, but would not desist, and so these two sat fronting each other like two dogs ready to fly at each other's throats. At length, the hook nosed rascal, growing bolder with his liquor, rises as if to reach his wine pot, and stretching across the table chucks Moll under the chin with his grimy fingers. porary Chairman—Incident* of the Con- the Next Move on the Polities!

CHAPTER VII. we have (lone with it, as she cau bentow him nowhere else (the muleteers tilling her house to the very cockloft) and has not the heart to send him on to St. Denys in this pitiless driving rain. To this Don Sanchez replies that a Spanish gentleman is welcome to ull we can offer him, and therewith sends down a mighty civil message, begging his company at our table. W. C. T. C. CONVENTION. Skipping over many unimportant particulars of our leaving Edmonton, of our finding Don Sanchez at the Turk, in Gracious street, of our going thence (the next day) to Oravesend, of our preparation there for voyage, I come now to our eniiharking, the 10th March, in the Bell, for Bordeaux, in France. Nor shall I dwell long on that journey, neither, which was exceedingly long and painful, by reason of our nearing the equinoctials, which dashed us from our course to that degree that it was the 26th before we reached our port and cast anchor in still water. And all those days wo were prostrated with sickness, and especially Jack Dawson, because of his full habit, so that he declared he wonld rather ride a horseback to the end of the earth than go another mile on sea. Not a word spoke we; nay, we bad scarce courage at times to draw breath for two hours and more of this fearful passage, with no encouragement from our guides save that one of them did coolly take out a knife and peel an onion as though he had been on a level, broad road, and then, reaching a fiat space, we came to a stand again before an ascent that promised to be worse than that we had done. Here we got down, Moll clinging to our hands and looking around her with huge, frighted eyes. W1U be Held in Avoem, Friday, Septem- Not a word says our Don Sanchez, but feigning still to believe him a man of quality he returns the other don's salutation with all the ceremony possible. Then Don Lopez, smiling from ear to ear, begs us, as I learned afterward, to pardon him for keeping us waiting, which had not happened, he assures us, if we had not suffered him to oversleep himself. He then informs us that wo are now npon his' domain and begs us to accept such hospitality as his castello will furnish in return for our entertainment of last night. ber IStli. The eleventh annual oonvention of the Luz me County Woman's Christian Temperance Union will be held in the Methodist Episcopal ohuroh, Avoca, on Friday, September 13th.

It would have takes Moll has just time to whip on a piece of finery, and wo to put on our best manners, when the landlady returns, followed by a stout, robust Spaniard, in an old coat several times too small for him, whom she introduced as Don Lopez de Calvados.

Everybody looked at the two and no one thought lass of William Conosll for giving evidence of no Indian-like reeentmeut. Don Lopez makes lis a reverence, and then, with his shoulders up to his ears and like gestures, mnkes ns a harangue at some length, but this, being Spanish, is as heathen Greek to ns. However, Don Sanchez explains that our visitor is excusing his appearance as being forced to change his wet clothes for what the innkeeper can lend him, and so we, grinning to express our amiability, all sit down to table and set to—Moll with her most finicking, delicate airs and graces, and Dawson and I silent as frogs, with understanding nothing of the dons' conversation. This, we learn from Don Sanchez after supper, has turned chiefly on the best means of crossing into Spain, from which it appears there are two passes through the mountains, both loading to the same town, but one more circuitous than the other. "Shall we soon be there?" Bhe asked. To this Don Sanchez replies with a thousand thanks that we are anxious to reach Ravellos before nightfall, and that, therefore, we will be going at once if it is all the same to him. With more bowing and scraping, Don Lopez amiably but firmly declines to accept any refusal of his offer or to talk of business before his debt of gratitude is paid. With that he gives a sign to our guides, who at once lead off our mules at a brisk trot, leaving us to follow on foot with Don Lopez iiwl his companion, whom he introduces as Don Ruy del Puerto—as arrant a cutthroat rascal to look at as ever I clapped eyes on. And, the don putting this question in Spanish to tho guides, they pointed upward to a gap filled with snow, and answered that was the highest point This was some oonsolation, though we could not regard the rugged way that lay be- \ twixt us and that without quaking. Indeed, I thought that even Don Sanchez, despite the calm, unmoved countenance he ever kept, did look about him with a certain Kind of uneasiness. However, taking example from our guides, we unloosed our saddlebags, and laid out our store of victuals with a hogskin of wine which rekindled our spirits prodigiously. The first peisons to ent-r the hall were Governor Hastings, David M .rtin and Senator Porter, and they were greeted with a ronnd of applanee Roger O'Mara.of Pittsburg, Chris. Magee's superintendent of police, who had put ttie heelers in the Opera House, consulted a moment with Uavid Mrtit'n, and the latter told him thst according to the compromise all of them»n who were In the hail over nlgbt mnst retire.

We staid in Bordeaux, which is a noble town, but dirty, four days to refresh ourselves, and hero the don lodged us in a fine inn and fed us on the best, and also he made us buy new clothes and linen (which we sadly needed after the pickle we had lain in a fortnight) and cast away our old, but no more than was necessary, saying 'twould be better to furnish ourselves with fresh linen as we needed it than carry baggage, etc. "And let all you buy bo good goods," says he, "for in this country a man is valued at what he seems, and the innkeepers do go in such fear of their seigneurs that they will charge him less for entertainment than if he were a mean fellow who could ill afford to pay." " Especially do we thank Senator Matthew Stanley Quay for his horoio resistance to the bill throughout many weary months, lending the Republican opposition to Its enactment and finally compelling the Democratic majority in tho senate to agrco to the substitution of many protective duties for its froe trade provisions. We chargo upon tho Democratic party tho present condition of the federal treasury, wjych presents a constantly growing delicit in receipts as compared with expenditures, compelling tho borrowing of money in large amounts at exorbitant premiums in time of peace to maintain tho credit of the government. For two years tho Democratic party has had completo control of the executive and legislative branches of the national government, yet it has failed utterly to provide sufficient roven uc to moet tho ordinary wants of the government. For this failure its responsibility is absolute, and it has oxhlbited to the world such inability and faithlessness in the discharge of tho high trust committed to its care that Its history continues to exclto the coutempt and distrust of all thoughtful citizens. We favor the adoption of a fixed and well considered policy for the permanent betterment of the highways of the state, so that the means of communication by private conveyance between the farms of tho state and tho neighlDoriug markets shall be improved and encouragement bo given of the enlarged use of the highways by our citizens." nie resolutions were preparea oy men opposed to Governor Hastings, and the matter of indorsing his administration was very nearly overlooked, a thoughtful delegate offering the neocasary plank bofnt*u (Innl urHnupnmant The following programme has been arranged : And yet it was a great blow to this leader of Lickawanna polltios, and It was hard for him to stand defeat, slnoe he Is so accustomed to viotory with small effort.

Thoee who do not know him believe him to be a hard man, a money grabber, a sort of juggernaut who leavee the victims of his political and financial ambition strewn under the wheels of his oar. No greater mistake can be entertained. He has the gentlest, tenderest heart In the world ; his money is spent like water upon charities and deeds of kindnees, and while he has given some hard blows in his struggle against his environment, his political enemies know more than well how magnanimous, how noble has been hla coarse toward thoee whom he has M good reason to visit with his wrsth.

While we were at this repast our guides, starting as if they had caught a soun4 (though we heard none save the horrid bursting of water), looked down, and one of them, clapping two dirty fingers in his mouth, made a shrill whistle. Thon we, looking down, presently spied two mules far below on the path we had come, but at such a distance that wo could scarce make out whether they were mounted or not. So we with very dismal forelxxlings trudge 011, having no other course to take, Don Sanchez, to make the best of it, warranting that 110 harm shall come to ns while wo are under tho hospitable protection of a Spaniard, but to no great effect—our faith being already shaken in his valuation of Spaniards. r—1:30 o'clock. Don Lopez has come by the latter because the former is used by the muleteers, who are not always the nioet pleasant companions one can have in a dangerous road, and for this reeson he recommends us to take his way, especially as we have a young lady with us, which will be the more practicable, as the same guides who conducted him will be only too glad to servo us on their return the next morning. To this proposition we very readily agree, and supper being ended Don Sanchez sends for the guides, two hardy mountaineers, who very readily agree to take us this way tho next morning if the weather permits. And so we all, wishing Don Lopez a good night, go to our several chambers. Devotionalservioes, Mrs. William Smith; report of committee; report of superintendents ; mn lo; Bible reading, Mrs. Lucy H. Washington; paper, Mrs B. Downing; paper, Mrs. H. W. Palmer; five-minute talks, pastors and workers ; recitation; tnutlc; miscellaneous business. So not to displease him we dressed ourselves in the French fashion, more richly than ever we had been clad in our lives, and especially Moll did profit by this occasion to furnish herself like any duchess, so that Dawson and I drew lots to decide which of us should present the bill to Din Sanchez, thinking he would certainly take exception to our extravagance, but he did not so much as raise his eyebrows at the total, but paid it withont ever a glance at the items. Nay, when Moll presents herself iu her new equipment, ho makes her a low reverence and pays her a most handsome compliment, but in his serious humor and without a smile. He himself wore a new suit all of black, not so fine as ours, but very nobis and becoming, by reason of his easy, graceful manner and his majestic, high carriage. Quitting the tableland, ten minutes of leaping and scrambling brought us to a collection of miserable huts built all biggledy piggledy 011 the edge of a torrent, overtopped by a square building of more consequence, built of graystone and roofed with slate shingles, but with nothing but ill shaped holes for windows, and this Don Lopez, with some pride, told ns was his castello. A ragged crew of women and children, apprised of our coming, by the guide may be, trooped oat of the village to meet us and hailed our approach with shouts of joy, "for all the world like a pack of hounds at the sight of their keeper with a dish of bones," whispers Jack Dawson in my ear ominously. But it was curious to see how they did fall back in two lines, those that had hats taking them off as Don Lopez passed, he bowing to them right and left, like any prince in his progress. TIIK TEST VOTE "Who are they?" asks Don Sanchez sternly, as I managed to understand. An error orcured in the announcement o{ the test vote be ween the factions for temporary chairman. The vote by conn ties was as follows : "Friends," replies one of the fellows, with a grin that seemed to lay his face in two halves. At this Jack flings ont his groat fi t with all the force of contained pai-sion, catches the other right in tho middle of tho face, with such effect that tho follow flies clean back over his bench, his head striking the pavement with a crash. ■7:30 o'clock.

He Is so outspoken, so very unoompromislng under all olrcumstancee that he can ill bear defeat. Just now he goee around looking as if hs had been having a session with an awkward squad. There is a sort of touohme-not expression on his countenance that Is somewhat generally regarded by thoee who have learned to note oertain signals as though labelled " dangerous." "Wo will go on when you are ready," says Don Sanchez, turning to us. THE BULLET EXTRACTED. "Aye," growled Jack in my ear, "with all my heart. "For if these friends be of the same kidney as Don Lopez, we may be persuaded to take a better road, which Qod forbid if this he a sample of their preference." Then in an instant all his fellows spring to their feet, and a dozen lung knives flash out from their sheaths. 0 % 1 4 Patrick McCae's Condition Now Much Improved. I was awoke in the middle of the uight, as it seemed to me, by a great oommotion below of Spanish shouting and roaring, with much jingling of bells, and looking out *f the window I perceived lantorns hanging here and there ijt the courtyard and the muleteers packing their goods to depart, with a fine clear sky full of stars overhead. And scarce had I turned into my warm bed again, thankiutr God I was no muleteer, when in comes the don with a candle to say that the guide will have ns moving at once if we would reach Ravelloe (our Spanish town) ln-fore niglit. So I to Dawson's chamber, and ho to Moll's, and in a little while we were all shivering down in the great kitchen, whero is never a muleteer left, bat only a great stench of giirlic, to eat a mess of soup very hot and comforting. And after that put into the dark (thore being as yet but a faint flush of green and primrose color toward the east), where four fresh mules (which Don Sanchez overnight had biirgained to exchange against our horses its being the only kind of cattle fit for this service) are waiting for us, with two other mules belonging to our guides, all very curiously trapped out with a network of wool and little jingling bells. Dr. Hutohlns, who has been attending Patrick McCue, the man shot by Thos. Gerrity on Aug. 83d last Saturday snooeeded in taking the ball, which was of 38 calibre, from his body. The wound was similar to that of the late President Garfield. The ball entered his left slds, srtuck one of the ribs and took a downward and then an upward oourse; plowed its way through the membranous substances surrounding the intestines and lodged near the baek bone. As it was impossible to reach the ball through the wound it was neoeasary to mtke an incision in the back. The doctor, after locating it, could not get it out with his probe, and was compelled to work it out with his finger. It was a delicate operation and much credit la due the dootor for skill ss a sergeon. The chances for the injured, man'a recovery are greatly in his favor. SURVIVORS or THE 143d. So being in our saddles forth we set once more and on a path no easier than before, but worse—like a very house top for steepness, without a tinge of any living thing for succor if one fell, but only sharp, jagged rocks, and that which now added to our peril was here and there a patch of snow, so that the mules must cock their ears and feel their way before advancing a step, now halting for dread, and now scuttling oq with their tails betwixt their legs as the stones rolled under them.

At our starting Don Sanchez bade Moll ride by his side, and so we, not being bid, fell behind, and, feeling awkward in our now clothes, we might very well have been taken for their servants or a pair of ill bred friends at the best, for our Moll carried herself not a whit less magnificent than the don, to the admiration of all who looked at her. So we up to the castello, whoro all the men of the village are assembled and all armed }ike Don DCDpoz, and they greet ns with cries of "Holal" and throwing np of hats. They making way for us with salutations on b°th sides, we enter the castello, where we find one great ill paved room with a stepladder on one side leading to the floor above, bat no furniture save a table and some benches of wood, all black and shining with grease and dirt But indeed tho walls, the ceiling and all else abont us was beyond everything for blackness, and this was easily to be understood, for a wench coming in with a caldron lights a fagot of wood in a corner, where was no chimney to carry off the smoke, but only a hole in the wall with a kind of eaves over it. so that presently the place was so filled with the fumes 'twas difficult to see across it It Takes Kx-I'rexldent Harrison Ont of the I'residential Kace. iHDiANAroLis, Ind., Aug. 29. - In an editorial discussing the effect of Qaay's victory upon General Harrison's cardldacy, the New s, which Is regarded as the ex President's organ, says- "A man who has been close to General Harilson personally for several years gays that the vlotory of Senator yuay will settle General Harrison's determination not to allow his friends to bck!u any movement in his behalf; not that he and his friends do not believe that they could secure the nomination, but became the General will not allow himself to be drawn Into a congest for the nomination " Colonel Blpple will probably be a candidate for Mayor, although it cannot be asserted that he has a personal desire for the office.

The remarkable facility which this gentleman pomeeaee for always coming down safely on his feet is something worthy of comment. Indeed, providence, or whatever may be the power that looks after the devious ways of politicians, seems to be aronnd in his vicinity with a perpetual and especially downy feather bed for the reception of his person In whatever direction his cleverness may lead him to jump. He is never ruffljd nor conoernad nor unduly depressed or elated over anything that may befall him or his party, but somehow he always comes np on top. He was warned by "the powers that be" to §t«y distinctly oat of the late unpleasantness.

Kearney's death was a terrible shock to her family and friends. At eleven o'olock yesterday morning, she was suddenly seised with a serious illness. Drs.

Don Lopez (always as gracious as a cat with a milkmaid) asks Moll through Don Sanchez if she would like to make her toilet while dinner is preparing, and at this offer all of us jump—choosing anything for a change, so he takes us up the stepladder to the floor above, which differs from that below In being cut up iptp half a dozen pieces by some low partitions of planks uailed loosely together like cribs for cattle, with some litter of dry leaves and hay iq each, but in respects being just as naked and grimy, with a cloud of spioke coming up through the chinks (n the floor, A 1IIG ItATTLKSNAKE AND A FIRE Then when Don Sanchez had solemnly debated whether wo should not awake Don Lopez to say farewell, and we iiad persuaded him that it would be kinder to let him sleep on, we mounted into our high, fantastic saddles, and set Grist of Interesting News From the We journey by easy stages ten days through Toulouse, on the road to Perpignan, and being favored with remarktbly fine weather, a blue sky and a bright sun above us, and at every turn toinething strange or Iteautiful to admire, no pleasure jaunt in the world could have been more delightful.

But Don Sanchez professed to bold all on this side of the Pyrenees mountains in great contempt, saying these hotels were as nothing to tlio Spanish posadas, that the people hero would rob you if they dared, whereas, on t'other side, not a Spaniard would take so much as the hair of your horse's tail, though he were at the last extremity ; that the food was not fit for aught but a Frenchman and so forth. And our Moll, catching this humor, did also turn up her nose at everything she was offered and would send away a bottlo of wine from the table because 'twas not ripe enough, though but a few weeks before she had been drinking penny ale with a relish, and that as sour as verjuice.

Culver, the Franklin township granger, was circulating among olty friends last Friday. He had just returned from a trip to Bradford county and was well loaded with the 1 iteet news from that section. He says that the potato crop throughout Bradford is going to be poor, owlrg a lack of rain. He had a good snake story, too, on the truth of which he stakes his reputation for veracity. His eousin, Lyman Jackson, of Sonth Auburn, Susquehanna county, was going along a road a few days ago when he saw in front of him a large rattle snake which wonnd itself around a live oak tree.

Begirding this document, there Was nuicli discussion in committee.
