              EDITORIAL NOTES.
M* PLEASANT as n railroan centre will
we trust bo tin? liveliest town in Western
Pennsylvania.
THE Democrats and Republicans of
Ohio are beginning to talk of tnriff and
free trade already. Better wait until the
thermometer gets cold.
MOST people believe that the days of
witchcraft have gone by, but it seems
that historic llullskin still believes in
spooks and ollindritches.
THERE is a report in circulation that
the government is about to bring civil
suits against the various Star route con-tractors
to recover moneys alleged to
have been fraudulently taken from the
Treasury by them. The aggregate of
those claims amount to $1,000,000, and
the suits it begun will involve upwards
of twenty of tho contractors. With the
experience of tho government in the
criminal suits, it looks a little likethrow
lug good money after bad to incur any
more cost in prosecuting Star rotito cases
in Washington. While there is no doubt
in the public mind that not only one
million but many millions wero taken
fiaudulentl/ by means of these contracts,
tlie trouble will be to convince a Wash-ington
jury that such practices weren't
highly commendable. If the cases could
be tried somewhere else there might he
some show of success.
THE WA3 OF THE WIRES.
One of the most important strikes
ever inaugurated opened on Thursday
last when the commercial telegraph op-erators
left their desks on account of the
refusal by their employers of certain
concessions which they asked. There is
no doubt that as a class, tho telegraphers
receive small wages for their labor. Mot
any slouch can enter an office and learn
the business, but the employee must be
quick of oar, ready with his fingers and
have a degree of intelligence hardly re-quired
cf any oilier profession of the
name grade. lie must be thoroughly
honest and reliable, with a slow tongue
and an eye alive to the interests of his
superior officers and his company.
Corporations generally do not havothe
name of paying their employees extrava-gant
salaries and it is well known that
tho telegraph companies are no excep-tion
to the rule. The railroad and the
tolegraph arc the mostclosely intertwined
with commercial traffic and tho prompt
and accurate working of both branches
of communication is necessary to the
transaction of business. In no line does
n strike so affect the country at large
as in the telegraph or railroad and there-fore
all possible concessions on both sides
ought to be made before a strike is pre-cipitated.
In tlie strike now in progress,
the sympathy of the public seems to be
with the operators. There are some
demands in their declaration which they
might disponso with, and doubtless
would if tlieir employers would treat
with them. They are holding the whip
band now for tlie offices are not well
manned, nor is business able to lie car-ried
on as it was before the strike.
From Maine to California and from tlie
hikes to the gulf, there is trouble in
every large city and the operators are so
well organized that the chances are in
tlieir favor just as soon as tho present
force are worn out by overwork.
STOLEN HORSES,
A Pleasant Unity Auimnl Talcrn anti Re-covered—
News of LtMt Hornes at Home.
On Monday Mr. Samuel Andrews, of
Ml. lfieasant, and Geo. Frick, of Greens-burg,
left lor Butler county to examine
an estray horse which answered the de-scription
of the one stolen from Mr
Andrews some time ago. Tlie horse had
come to tlie farmer’s place on the1 Mon-day
following the day it had been stolen,
without any harness on, and the buggy
and harness wete found at another place.
It is thought the thieves had been pas-turing
the animal and that it had slipped
away from them. Tlie farmer took tlie
home into Pittsburg, but nobody there
could identify it. Tlie horse was
promptly identified, and on Tuesday
morning Mr. Andrews arrived home
with it.
On Friday night, a valuable bay horse
was stolen from Joseph Jamison near
Pleasant Unity. A man named John
Garland was arrested in Pittsburg on
Sunday, and it was discovered that he
had traded Mr. Jamison’s horse for a bay
ono at Braddocks. Garland formerly
lived at (ireensburg, and it is supposed
that ho could tell the whereabouts of
several missing animals in that neigh-borhood.

BASE BALL.
Tlie Texas Stars Defeat Die Geary*, of
«Tamlif»n'* Coke. Works.
On Katimiaj’ afternoon lust quite a num-ber
of the friends of both clubs gathered
at tho Morewood grounds to witness tlie
first game between tho II. Geary’s of
Jamison's coke works and the Texas
Stars. Tlie home nine won the toss,
sending tlie visitors to tlie hat. J. Good-man
and Carson wore the battery, for the
Geary’s, and Zitck and Queer for the
Stars. By heavy halting assisted by
errors on the part of the homo team, the
visitors succeeded in placing two runs to
tlieir credit tho first inning, two in
the second and one in the third w hile
the Stars got but one in the first, none in
tlie second and ono in the third, leaving
tlie score at tlie end of tlie third inning
five to two in favor of the visitors. It is
due to Mr. Zuck to say that tie pitched
the first three innings for tlie Stars be-cause
it was thought necessary to call
tho game beforo Milbee, tlie regular
pitcher was able to ho present, Milbee
was now put in the box and succeeded
in puzzling tho Geary’s not a little by his
peculiar style of tossing tlie sphere, as
f lic visitors only got ono base hit off him
and one run in tlie remaining six in-nings.
and oven this run wasall owing to
a miserable overthrow to first in the
eight inning on the part of Mcl’liadden
who played third base for the Stars; tlie
hall was lost and not found until the
runner had touched tlie homo plate.
Tlie Stars got five runs in the fiftli in-ning,
two in the sixth and did not play
their half of tlie ninth as tlie game was
theirs without so doing. Carson and
f. Goodman carried off tho hon-ors
for tho visitors, Goodman
making a beautiful catch of a
hot line hall while standing in tho
pichers box, and Carson having but one
pass hall behind tho hat. Tho pitching
of Milbeo and the catching of Queer for
the homo team wore almost faultless,
.Mr. Ram Jamison, of Pleasant Unity,
umpired the game in a manner highly
satisfactory to both sides. The following
is tlie score by innings:

The residents of tho northern end of
Tinllskiii township, Fayette county, have
a firm and abiding belief in the super-natural
and they appeal to it for all de-cisions
on weighty questions. Not long
ago a ll.ief visited the home of one of
the number and stole a silver watch, a
pair of pantaloons and some other arti-cles
of a, domestic nature. AVlion tlie
nows of tlie robbery spread abroad, the
neighbors gathered in and compared ex-periences
on tlie most acceptable way of
conjuring back tho missing goods. One
of tlie number knew of a plan which
had worked to perfection over in Som-erset
county. There the thief had been
so violently affected by its wierd power
that in the middle of the night he sprang
from liis bed naked, jumped through a
sash and returned the stolen goods to
their rightful owner.
Tlie charm was arranged with due so-lemnity.
To one of tho party was given
tlie hook of incantation while to another
was assigned tlie duty of turning tlie
wheel of fate which was to wind up the
career of the thief. Tlie words of witch-ery
were read with stern tones while
tlie wheel slowly revolved and the spell
was pronounced complete. The circle
adjourned, all satisfied that tlie goods
would he brought hack through tlie fairy
influence. The following morning, one
of the party asseverated his belief that
the thief was dead for at midnight as lie
laid in liis bed he heard a report like a
pistol and he felt assured that tlie noise
betokened the demise of tho robber.
Days passed away and the thief did not
die nor did thegoods come back. It was
not until nearly a week had passed that
•ommon mortality’s aid was invoked to
capture the thief, hut by that time the
trail had grown cold and the owner still
mourns the loss of liis watch, pantaloons,
and other property, while he meditates
over tlie trickiness of tho spook and the
thief.
Injured 1>y Dyunmlle.
A twelvo year old pit boy, a son of

nml Mill—Jottings of tlie
Past Week.
Tlie new coal works nearly opposite
Sutervillo have been named tho Lake
Erie Coal Works.
Ono hundred and thirty-five new coke
ovens are being built by tlio Connells-villo
gfs coal company.
A new air course aud exit has boon put
in at tho Monastery coke works. The
ovens aro running slow on small orders.
A special meeting of the stockholders
of tho South Pennsylvania railroad com-pany
has boon called for September 0th,
for tho purpoae of ascertaining if tho in-debtedness
and capital stock shall be in-creased.
Tlie 1*. McK. Sz Y. R. R. Co. have just
completed a good, substantial pump
house on tho west side of tho river oppo-site
West Newton. Tho structure is
built of brick. Largo stone fliers are
being built on which tho lingo water
tank will rest.
Tho Youghioghony River Coal Co., at
Scott Haven, received their first con-signment
of machinery for tlieir new
works on tlio west side of tho Yongh.,
ono clay last wook, over the P. McK. &
Y. R. R., from McKeesport, whore it was
transferred from tho B. & O. to tho new
road.
The American Manufacturer in an ed-itorial
upon tho coke trade, and the diffi-culties
attending tlio forming of an or-ganization
among coke producers says:
“It does not now seem likoly that a suc-cessful
organization will bo reached.
Doubt seems to exist in somo measure
among those who were advocating an
association, largely induced by the fail-ure
in tlio first place; and then,as stated
above, there is not tho inducement to
coinpleto an organization that there was
formerly. Prices ore improving, and
the fooling is decidedly firmer, and it is
doubtful should tho movement bo re-vived
if it would find any supporters.”
Tho Now York Coal of last week says:
We note with satisfaction that tho Stato
of Pennsylvania has appropriated $12,500
for tho erection of a hospital for sick
and wounded coal miners nml railroad
men at Connollsvillo, provided that a
like amount is raised by private sub-scription.
To the great railroads which
derive a vast revenue annually from tho
loading industry of that section, and to
tho largo producers, somo of whom have
accumulated princely fortunes, itshould
ho a matter of a few days to secure tho
necessary funds. Wo trust that wo may
honbio to record at an early date tho
completion of ail tho nocoseary arrange-ments.
Tho now hridgo of tho P. McK. Sc Y.
railroad company, over tlio Youghio-gheny
river at McKeesport, was consid-erably
damaged by a blast on Saturday.
Tho company opened a barrow pit near
tho southern approach, out of which
workmen are taking material. The con
tractor prepared an unusually heavy
blast and when it exploded huge masses
of rock and earth wore hurled in every
direction. One solid stone weighing
about throo hundred pounds, struck the
shore span of llie hridgo with such force
that somo of tho rods and posts were
bent and twisted out ot shape. Somo of
tho pioces will bo replaced, and it is es-timated
that it will cost $(100 or $700 to
repair tho damage clone.
The foundry and fire-brick works of
tho Fairchanco Furnaeo Company are in
full operation. This company contracted
last week with the Connellsvillo Coal and
Iron Company for furnishing fire-brick
for 50 new coke ovens, which tho latter
purpose building at LolsenringNo. 2im-modlutely.
The furnaeo of the Fayette
Coke and Furnace Company, situate at
Oil pliant, is still in blast, and making
from twenty to twenty-five tons per day*
but not much of this production is being
put on the marl ot, ns tho company does
not care to sell at tho present prices. Tho
iron men are feeling very confident that
thero will be a greater demand lor their
iron by tho middle of next month, and
with it an advance in prices.
Lemont furnace, situate oir tno lines of
the Southwest Pennsylvania and Balti-more
and Ohio railroads, three miles
north of Uniontown. was hanked up on
Saturday last for repairs. The furnace
noeds considerable repairing and the
proprietors thought this a good time to
put them on. Tho yard at tlio furnaeo is
filled with iron, more than enough to
meet tho present demand. One hundred
and fifty tons were sold last week at
$10.50 and $77. Dunbar furnace is in blast
still, but only one stack is fired up and it
is not making much more than half its
capacity. The average run is about fifty
tons per day. Fairchanee furnace is still
idle, but may possibly be started up Au-gust
1, providing tho pi ice of iron has
advanced at that time.
Tlie Yongh. River Coal Co., bettei
known as the operators of tho Scott Ha-ven
mine, says tlie West Newton Press,
have been making some important pur-chases
of real estate in tho vicinity of
Buena Vista* Tho purchases were made
on sixty days option, but it is not at all
likoly but that they will be posUivo sales
at the expiration of tlio option. The
purchases Include tlio farm ofJohn Boyd,
for §-4,-100; a tract of land belonging to
Thos. Patterson, price not statod, and the
farm of Jas. Doublass, comprising 45
ayres, at $350an acre. The company have
a large tract of coal lying up Boyd’s hol-low,
and it is tho Intentions of the com-pany,
so it is reported, to build a branch
road up tbo hollow and in this manner
have full and free access to tlieir coal. It
is noised about at the village of Seott
Haven that the company lmvo not vet
given up the project of bridging the
Youghatthat poinf.
It is reported that the superintendent
of the Philadelphia gas works has con-demned
103,*tOO tons of bituminous coal
rocently contracted for by the Gas Trust
in preference to tlio coal produced by
tho Pennsylvania Gas-Coal Company,
the Wcstniorohind Coal Company, and
other large (Joncerus. This is tho coal
furnished by the Saltsburg Coal Com
puny, whoso mines aro located on the
Conomaugh river, near Saltsburg, and
carried to Philadelphia over tlio Penn-sylvania
company’s linos. Whon the
contracts woro lot, tho Saltsburg product
was believed to bo one of tho best gas
coals obtainable, and the company se-cured
105,000 tons of the amount required
during tlie year, other Pittsburg bidders
being badly left behind on their esti-mates.
Tho gas company snpermtond-ent
now says tho coal contains too much
sulphur, and the gas company is to stand
suit for refusing to receive tlie coal.
Argument was hoard in Philadelphia,
by Attorney-Ooneral Cassidy, on on ap-plication
for a writ of quo warranto bv
Dr. Early and others, who own lands
along tlio valley of Little Toby Crook, in
which region the New York, Lake Erie
<fc Western railroad is about to oxtend
its linos. It appeared from tho papers
that the New York, Lako Erie Sc West-ern
road owns and operates about 27,000
acres of coal lands in Elk, McKean, and
Jefferson counties, and also opeiates the
railroad belonging trt tlie New York,
Lake Erie & Western Coal and Railroad
Company. It Is conceded that tho re-spondent
can not legally do this; for it
is directly prohibited by Statute from
owning more than fifty acres of real es-tate
in its own mime in Pennsylvania;
the acts of 1833 and 1855 forbidding any
foreign corporation from owning la. ds
in Pennsylvania without express legis-lative
permission. Tlie constitution also
prohibits any incorporated company,
doing tlio business of a common carrier,
from engaging in mining or manufac-turing
articles for transportation over its
tracks, except such as shall bo necessary
for carrying on its business. Tho Now
York, Lake Erie <* Western sought to
evade the law by purchasing the entire
stock of a corporation called tho North-western
Miningand Exchange Company,
and that company owns tlio whole stock
of tlie New York, Lake Erie <fc Western
Coal and Railroad Company, which was
formerly known as tho Wilcox Sc How-ard
Hill Improvement Company. It is
averred by the petitioners in tho case
that they arc tho owners of coal lands in
the valley, which will bo rendered val-ueless,
because it will bo impossible for
them to compete successfully with a cor-poration
that transports its own material,
and they charge that tlio respondents aro
trying to evade tho law. In answer to
this, tho railroad company claimed to
have tho right to uso tho charter privi-leges
of other companies. The Attorney
General reserved his decision.
PASSING HIS EX.
An Esnilnplan D!*clpl» Pitssfd Through
HU Pacts hy a Lawyer.
The medical profession is becoming ex-ceedingly
exclusive as to its membership
in tho Keystone State, and tho State
Medical Society has so regulated affairs
that candidates for medical honors must
hereafter pass preliminary examinations
before being allowed to read with an al-lopathic
physician. In Westmoreland*
there are three examiners each having
branches of the examination in which
they make the applicants show their pro-ficiency.
Not a thousand miles from Mt.
Pleasant- lives a young gentleman whose
tastes run in the direction of scalpel and
medicines. Girding up his loins last
•veck, lie started to interview the exam-iners
and let them sec how well fitted he
was for his chosen profession.
Going over to Greensburg he made a
break for Dr. Frank Cowan’s office, that
gentleman being ono of the dread tri-umvirate
who pass upon the merits of
would-be doctors. Entering tlio office, he
stood in the presence of a gray haired*
kindly faced v<%Mri to whom lie pre-sented
his letter of introduction.
“Read it to me” said the veteran, “my
eyes are not as good as they once were.’’
The letter was read in tremulous tone
and the veteran smilingly bade tlie
young man sit down.
“Must have a knowledge of Greek and
Latin! Y’es, the doctors of Westmore-land
know a devil of a lot about Greek
and Latin.”
With this prefatory remark theveteran
sailed in and for two hours ho quizzed
tlie youngster from the alpha to tl o
omega of his task. Finally on a question
the victim gave a definition not in exact
accord with the definition asgiven by the
book. The examiner curtly eat the
young man ofT by saying “tell me what
tlie hook says; we are sure that the hook
is right.” This was more than the can-didate
could stand, and he blurted out
that he would he blanked if lie could give
it in the exact words, and then his indig-nation
arose and he grabbed Ids hat and
left.
In Die meantime tlie victim’s friend
passed his examination before another
of the board and then went to Greens
burg where Dr. Cowan examined him
On his return home he knocked the
backbone out of the victim by saying on
Dr. Cowan’s authority that tho victim
had not been near him.
The victim then looked the matter up
and found that Ids two hour tournament
had been conducted by the veteran law-yer,
Hon. Edgar Cowan who bad hear-tily
enjoyed getting even with the medi
cal profession by thoroughly probing
one of the young disciples.
Mr. Cowan should take all the neccs
sary precautions for personal safety, be
cause the pill roller is on the war path,
thirsting for Ins gore. It is probable
that a writ of certiorari will be applied
for to determine the standing of doctor
Cowan and lawyer Cowan, ami in the
meanwhile lawyer Cowan had better se-cure
a writ of injunction restraining the
victim from administering any prescrip-tions
upon his bodily estate.
A House Burned*
On Friday last about noon, tlio whole
second story of Mr. John Sandlo’s house
•nr.i'.e and ajhalf northeast of town, was
discovered to bo on fire. By the time
aid arrived tho whole house was a mass
of (lames, and a few pleeos of furniture
were the only things saved from the
lower story. The building was totally
destroyed. A purse containing $120 be-longing
to Miss Annio Sandies anil Shi
in gold tlie property ot young Jesse San-dies
wero lost. The origin of tho fire is
attributed to a defective fluo on the
second story. There was an insurance
of$1200 in tlio Aetna. The family have
taken up their abode In the spring house
until they can rebuild.

SELLING THE STANDARD:
A BIG COKE DEAL IMMINENT.
A Syndicate nnrtrrlng for (ltc Largfiif In*
<11villaitl Work* In (lie Coke Revlon
—Railroad Information.
For sonic time past negotiations liavo
been in progress looking towards the
transfer of tho Standard coal and coke,
works, located lit tlio eastern end of
town, which is tlio largest plant in tlie
region. The works comprise about 1200
acres of coal land, ovor 100 tenement
houses, 576 coke ovens, one slope, one
shaft, a 45,000 barrel water reservoir,
with pump lious'e, besides other im-provements
of the latest pattern. Tlio,
plant is owned by A. A. Hutchinson, of
Pittsburg, Hnd tlie proposed purchasers
are H. C. Erick, Andrew Mellon and
several oilier Pittsburg gentlemen. Ati
inspection party were over tlie works
last week making a critical examination
of everything connected therewith. Wo
understand that Mr. Hutchinson asks
$400,000 for the property, while tlie pur-chasers
oiler $700,000. The probabilities
are that a compromise will be made, as
Mr. Hutchinson is in bad health and
anxious to retire from active business
life, it is reported about tho works that
in case the sale is effected, tlio Frick
party will immediately fire up all tho
smokeless ovens and run tlio works to
tlieir full capacity.
In this connection wo noto that oh
Thursday last n charter was granted at
Harrisburg to Ti. C. Frick, Thomas M.
Carnegie, D. A. Stewart, John Walker,
W. F. McCook and G.B.Boswortli. This
road lias a capital stock of $500,000; is
standard gauge, and will run from .Sum-mit
station, on the Mt. Plensant &
Broadford road, to tho Monastery coke
werks, near Katrohn, a distance of
twenty-fivo miles. This road will como
up the Morewood valley, crossing the'
turnpike at the western end of town,'
and will be a valuable feeder to tho South
Pennsylvania, ns it will drain tbo pro-duct
of tho Frick ovens from tlieir
southern io tlieir northern terminus.'
should tlio Frick syndicate secure tlio
control of tlio Standard works, an inter-socting
line could be built which would
throw tbo cuke from Mint point on to
tlio South Pennsylvania a short distance
north of tlie works. Tho indications aio
that Mt. Pleasant will become the cen-tral
point for a fmmbflr of railroads.' Wo
are informed that tlio B. & O, extension
to Punxsutawney is an assured fact, the
Southwest is pushing to completion the
connecting link which Will put our town
on the main line of that rond, tlio build-ing
of the Sharrick Run road northward
and of tho South Pennsylvania branch
to Wheeling all indicate a lively future
for tlie town.

Tile Itelgn of Die Dog Stats' t.
Tuesday cf last week was the begin-,
ning of what is known as tlio “dog days,’’*
which precede and follow the heliacal'
rising of tho star Sirius—in the constel-lation
of the Greater. Dog—in tho morn-ing,
which i'll Pliny’s tiino was on tho
18th of July. Tho extreme beat of this
season of the year, although to us palpa-bly
the elleet of tlie continued high po-iition
of the sun, was connected by the
indents with the appearance of this star
in tlio morning. They considered tlio
• log star as raging, and gavo tlie time the
appellation ot' tho Dog Days. The liabil-ity
of dogs to rabies in o * lequenen of
ilie heat of tlio season was conneotod
with the suiue’Star, although thero was
nothing but aecidont in the collusion,
md they butchered those animals with-out
mercy. At Argos thero was n festi-val
instituted expressly for tho killing
if dogs during this season. By tho pro-cession
of tho equinoxes tho liolaioal
rising of Sirius in tto morning has been'
changed to tho lattor end of August, and
in a few thousand years will take place
in the depths of winter.

A STATISTICIAN, after months of hard
labor, makes the following interesting
statement in regard to the future supply
of anthracite coal: Tlie total anthracite
area before mining was commenced was,
in round figures, fiOO square miles, or
320,000 square acres. Allowing 1,000 tons
to tlie acre, a foot in depth would give
320,000,000 tons. Assuming that tlie
deptli averages thirty feet, which tlie
gentleman thinks is a fair estimate. It
gives a grand total of 0,000,000,000 tons.
Tlie present consumption being about
30,000,000 tons per year, it will bo seen
that at the commencement of mining
operations (lie supply was sufficient for
320 years. About 608,000,000 tons, or
about seventeen years’ supply, have been
mined, leaving sufllrient to supply tlie
demr iul for a little over 300 years.
THE tide of immigration, which for
several years paired upon onr shores in
steadily increasing volume, is now on tlie
ebb. For the year ended June 30 last
(lie total number of arrivals was 592,32-1,
against 770,422 for tlie preceding year, a
falling off of 23 per cent. Since 1S70 tho
total immigration to this country lias
been 12,196,295, tlie largest number arri-ving
in any one year being 770,022 for
1SS2. In 1881 the arrivals numbered
009,431, being second, in tlie proportions
reached, to 1882. In the early part of tlie
present year tlie indications were that
tlie steady increase in tlie volume of im.
migration shown by tlie preceding sev-eral
years would lie kept up, but before
tlie first six months had passed tlie
diminution set in and it continued
through the year. The falling off is at-tributed
to labor troubles in this country
and tlie reduction of wages in many
branches of industry.
THE TWO-CEMT POSTAGE.
Tlie Dost Office Department is shaping
its liiisineas for tlie change in letter post-age
which goes into effect on October
first. Tlie postmasters a*e notified that
it is desirable to have as small a stock of
present tliree-cent postage stamps and
stamped envelopes as possible when tlie
reduction of rates goes into effect and
they aro accordingly directed to limit
their requisitions for stamps and envel-opes
of this denomination to such quan-tities
ns upon careful estimate they may
deem sufficient to last until tlie 1st oi
October. They are also instructed lo
take all available means without incur-ring
any expense to call public attention
to tlie coming reduction, so that purchas-ers
may not accumulate an unnecessary
supply of threo-cer t stamps and envel-opes.
The circular issued by the depart-ment
also directs that, as no arrange-ments
have yet been made fur tlie re-demption
of tliree-cent stamps and
envelopes in the hands of postmasters
or for exchange by posti^isters of those
stamps and envelopes in tlie bands of
private holders, until further notice
postmasters will not make exchanges for
tlie public nor return to tlie department
tlie stock tlmt remains on their hands
after October 1. Postmasters are, how-ever,
notified that as two and tliree-cent
stamps and envelopes of the present
issue will continue to be valid after that
date they must be accepted in payment
of postage when offered in proper
amounts and that tliree-cent stamps can
be used in combination with other de-nominations
on letters requiring more
than one rate postage, and on parcels ol
third and fourth class matter.
Tho circular also announces that tlie
Department will be ready to insure two-ccnt
stamps, new design, the 15th of Sep-tember,
but that these stamps and en-velopes
must not be placed on sale or
used by postmasters before October i.
Also that no tliree-cent stamps will be
issued after September 14th unless the
requisition therefor is accompanied by a
statement that they are needed for im-mediate
use, and that the full supply
called for will become exhausted by
October 1, and further that no tliree-cent
stamped envelopes will bo issued after
tlie 31st of August unless requisition for
them is accompanied by a similar state-ment.
The circular further instructs
postmasters as to the design for the new
two-cent and four-cent stamps and
stamped envelopes, and notifies them
that tlie prices of envelopes (exclusive
of postage) will remain tlie same as at
present; that no change will be made
in postage-due stamps, and that rates on
ing toward tlie dollar mark, and some
quotations have been made at and
slightly above that figure. Tlie world
must have iron, and iron must bo made ;
with tho increased demand for iron, tlie
cost of production will go up for tlie
maintenance for such prices as have ob-tained
during tlie summer would be
suicidal. THE JOURNAL lias ardently ad;
voeated an extension an diversification
of industrial pursuits in our midst so that
tlie stated recurranceof such abnormally
dull periods would be improbable. Just
so long ns we depend upon tlie one in-dustry
for support our prosperiity may
be guaged by tlie price of Halt, commo-dity
in tlie market, hilt when wo push
forward and can look upon tl.e wheels
turning in many different lines of trade,
each independent of tlie oilier, there will
be no need of sitting with folded bands
mourning over departed greatness. It is
time to be tip and doing.
THE CROPS.
Tliis season's grain crop lias been gar-nered
and tlie reports from tlie State
show that Pennsylvania lias been kindly
favored by Providence. The wheat crop
is about Hie average but the outlook for
oats and corn justifies tlie belief that
the yield will bo greater this year Mian
it lias been for the past four or five years.
The shortage in wheat, if any lliore lie,
will be covered by the overplus from
last year’s yield. In our immediate
neighborhood, tlie wheat lias been very
heavy in some localities while in others
there lias been a blight which cannot be
definitely assigned to any particular
cause. Tho yield about here will be
about Hie average, tlie exceptionally
heavy filling Hie deficiencies created by
the short fields. Tlie corn is backward
but indications for a large crop aro good,
while tlie condition of Hie oats is favor-ably
commented upon everywhere.
Thanksgiving day will find the farmer
with lull barns and evefty reason to give
thanks fur a bountiful year.
PRESS COMMENTS.
A Hood Snimi'KlIoii.
From tho Pittsburg Dispatch.
Wliilo tho Democracy is indulging its
penchant for llio old ticket, why not take
the oldest one available ami run McClel-lan
and Pendleton ? Tills would ho old
lint good.
Poor Or],lions.
From tiie Pittsburg Telegraph.
The statomont that “Cod made tho
country and man made tlie city” is made
uso of frequently to show the compara-tive
purity and excellence ol tlie rural
districts. As for the country towns, tlioir
wickedness lias grown so pronounced
tlmt no one cares to nssumo tho respon-sibilities
of their creation.
Kept Themselves Posted.
From the New York San.
It is rather creditable to tho intelligence
prevailing in Tennessee that in order to
obtain twelve men who had reader heard
so little of Polk's case ns to satisfy tlie
lawyers that they Imd the impartiality of
Ignorance, paruiels aggregating about
two thousand persons were exhausted.
Tlie result of this preliminary of tho trial
of Polk shows tlmt a very large propor-tion
of Tennosseans read tlie newspapers.
Kiiti'enttr* Blither Than Demands.
From tlie New York Herald.
Tho long expected demands of the
Brotherhood of Teleg raphers lias been
presented to tho m anagers of tlie tele
graph companies. They were couched
in respectful language and were unac-companied
by any threats. This fact
should be placed to the credit of tho fra-mers
of tho paper, as it was feared that,
confident of their power, they would rely
rather upon the fear of consequences that
would follow a refusal than upon the jus-tice
of their cause. This danger was
avoided, and their grievances, asset forth
by themselves, must be judged on tlioir
merits.
Tlie Dundy nt Cape Huy.
The chief dandy at Cape May changes
bis suits five or six times a day. Early
in tho morning lie puts on a corduroy
coat and knee brooches, or knickerbock-ers,
such as bioyclo riders wear, and in
which he takes a walk. On his return, lie
drosses for breakfast in a suit notable for
wide cheeks and loud yellow. At bath-ing
time lie saunters down to tho beach
in a panama; that is to say, a loose sack
and wide trousers, made of ligbl-colored
stuff, girlishly trimmed, and normally
worn in ono’s bedroom. His adyont on
tho sands in such a rig astounds those
who linvo not, become nccustomad to
him, and alarinslliem a little, too, because
tlioy get the idea at first that ha Uu luna-tic.
It might bo expected that lie would
bo still more remarkable when attired for
tho water, lint hero occurs a disappoint-ment.
lie appears in a plain and con-ventional
bathing suit of looio llamul,
because lie knows that bis attenuated
form could not stand a comparison with
those robust fellows who batli in scant
tights, in tiie afternoon lie exhibits
A LIVING SHADOW.
llow til© DctcsUvru Follow Eiiupccl'rt
People.
A detective gives the following for
publication: A man hired to shadow a
party, or a shadow, as we call him, gets
about $2 a day and expenses and is paid
fir Hie time lie works. A shadow is ex-pected
to watch a man from tlie time lie
gets up in tlie morning till he goes to
bed. If it happens to be a party WHO
must be shadowed night and day it re-quires
two men to watch him. A shadow
must watch a man closely without him-self
being seen or allowing tlie party to
find out that be is being shadowed. I
meet tlie shadow, for instance, and tell
hint lie most keep his eyes on a certain
man whom I will designate by brushing |
on the shoulder with my handkerchief.
Then I enter a place, and ns tlie man
comes out I pretend to see a bug on liis
shoulder and brush it off. Then I go
away, knowing Hint until I give tlie word
that man will never bo ®ut of tlie sight
of my shadow. The shadow takes him
to dinner and back lo his place of busi-ness.
Then to supper, and I hen down
town in the evening. Then it is tlmt his
hardest work begins. He may l.ave to
suddenly hire a hack at a big expense
and follow Hie man on some carousing
expedition. lie finally takes him home
at night, secures a cover and catches a
little sleep himself. The securing of a
cover is sometimes tlie most difficult
part of the work, for your man may live
in an aristocratic locality where there
are no rooms for rent. I have known
our man Boland to sleep night after
night in a coal bunk on the strecl when
it was nipping cold. There are in New
York certs in hanks and large corpora-tions
which every year along about tiie
holidays have each one of their men
shadowed about, a week. At the end of
a week a full report of a maul’s haunts,
habits, stylo of living, and even of liis
week’s expenses, is given liis employer.
The most extensive job of shadowing I
have known was that which resulted in
tlie arrest of Kindt, Hie man who robbed
the Brooklyn watch company of $20,000
worth of gold watch cases, dividing tip
with a man who aided him. When oho
of our men was taken through the watch
company’s works lie pointed out Kindt,
tlie assistant superintendent, as the man
who, in liis opinion, bad done Hie job.
lie had been told that Kindt was a
splendid mechanic of wonderful inge-nuity.
Kindt’s employers, fur whom lie
had worked a long time, would not at
first listen to tlie theory of bis guilt, blit
they filially consented to allow lain to
be shadowed. lie lived in small rooms
on tlie fourth floor of a tenement house,
wlieie lie had a little shop of ids own.
It was weeks before anything was dis-covered.
lie bad a wife, and she was
sharper than Hie average detective. At
length lie was seen one night to board a
street car and ride away out in a thinly
settled portion of New York. When lie
left tlie front end of tiie car the shadow
left the rear platform and fell out of
sight into a ditch in a vacant lot. lie lay
concealed until tho suspicious Kindt,
after looking cautiously about him, bad
entered tlie basement of a new house. He
remained there half an hour and then
returned home. At last we had gotten a
clue. We searched tlie Court House
records and found that lie owned tlie new
house that the shadow had seen him en-ter,
and that although a poor man on a
small salary, lie was building another'
Then we shadowed liis wife, and followed
her one day to tlie United States Mint,
where she took a 8500 nugget of gold to
bo coined. It had been buried in the
sand, and it was probably to bury uv get
this nugget that Kindt entered liis new
house that night. We could learn noth-ing
more, and one of our men entered
the watch factory as a workman under
Kindt, lie was compelled to work at
breaking up mortars, which are treated
to got from them Hie gold that in almost
invisible specks attaches itself to them,
lie finally worked himself into tho con-fidence
of Kindt, who proposed to him a
scheme to rob tlie safe tlie second time.
Kindt secured a pair of powerful glasses
and placed them where lie could com-mand
a view of the safe. He hung liis
coat over them when tlie men were in
tlie shop. lie came before tlie other
employes did, and, with liis eye at tlie
powerful glasses set in the partition, saw
eacli letter of the combination as Hie only
member of tiie firm who knew it unlock-ed
the safe. Ha marked these down on a
board, and had gotten all tiie combina-tion,
save one figure, when he was arres-ted.
He refused to tell where the restof
tlie gold was secreted, and tlie officers
were about to leave liis. rooms after a
fruitless search, when lie chanced to step
on a window ledge which tipped up and
revealed beneath it a $5000 nugget of
gold and many dollars of gold filings and
scraps. Kindt was sent to State’s prison
for ten years. His wonderful mechanical
abilities stood him in good stead even
there. He invented a patent lock by
which a line of colls could all be locked
with tlie movement of a lever that con-trolled
them all. He was intrusted with
a partial superintending of the job. He
worked it, however, so that tlie move-ment
of tlie lever would lock all the cells
but liis own, and one night walked qut a
free man.

Ladies Look!
THIS will be known as a year of de-structive
storms. Almost every section
of the country has hud some experience
with either wind or flood. During tlie
past week a large portion of the West
was swept by a wind-storm mid thou-sands
of dollars’ worth of property car-ried
away. Tlie destruction’ was con-tinued
in a witle path through Missouri
Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota. One ol
tlie notable features of Iheso storms is
the comparatively small loss of human
life. An Iowa tornado early in tlie sea-son
was quite destructive in Ibis respect,
drop letters will remain the same as at J ^or lounging or driving, in a
costunio of white; uiul in the evening ho
present.
THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
In ail branches of trade about our
town, business lias been exceptionally
dull for the past few months and the man
who has paid liis running expenses and
secured a comfortable living lias no need
to complain. Largely dependent upon
one lino of business for support, tlio de-cline
of the coke industry lias been dis-astrous
to our mercantile interests for tlie
break in iron brougham its train a large
falling oil’ in coke production, and such a
decline in prices that operators made
money by letting their works stand idle.
With no employment at their regular
occupation, tlio minors and coke drawers
husbanded their resources, and tlie con-sequences
is that llio flow of wealtli into
the coffer! of tlie business has been badly
restricted. Tlie tide having reached its
lowest ebb seems to have taken tho turn,
and uuiuis tiie indications aro fauitJy,

black frock coat and dark trousers.

delight with his lady love. There came
to this shady retreat one Sabbath day u
company of Teutonic extraction, whose
motives I trow were not strictly conso-nant
with the higher principles of piety,
for they made merry with high sounding
instruments, and they danced until the
golden hours sank into (lie dusk of
evening, when from the appearance ol
some you would at once conclude that
they had partaken of something stronger
than the crystal waters that sparkle mid
play laughingly among (lie rocks. This
aroused tlie righteous wrath of the pious
community, and they at or.ee set their
foot on on such desecration of tiie holy
Sabbath. Ho 1 think there will not like-ly
be a repetition of the same soon again.
Not long ago in my summer journey-ing

umbrage, in the waters of Crow run that
yet meander on so quietly through the

1 was hushed to sleep by the sweetest
lullabies and greeted in the morning by
her most tender smiles. The house
stands there; the scenes around appear
as inviting as ever. Lnt all, all is gone
to a motherless girl who with a kind and
affectionate father stands again in tlie
shade of other days and thinks of the
happy once, but now by-gone. A be-reaved
husband secs again tlie dear
companion that shared Ids joys and
helped to lighten the burdens of a pas-tor’s

pick up our burdens, and tug on up the
rugged steeps of life, while we dwell in

“The ideal death,” said a physician in

he would drive down to tiie depot,
not far away, and bring me to tiie house.
He had tlie servants bring the ponies to
tlie door, and refused to let tlie man go
with him, saying he preferred to drive
himself, lie mounted tlie box and
drove off at a smart pace. The old gen-tleman
had not driven more than a few I
rods from his house when ho was met
by a neighbor, who noticed somethin"
strange in his appearance. 11 is horses
stopped. The neighbor dismounted and
went to the side of his carriage and spoke
to him. The old gentleman did not an-swer.
He sat bolt upright in his seat,
holding the reins in his hand, lie was
dead. He had passed away without a
shock of any kind. There was no appa-rent
cause for his death, which was prob-ably
occasioned by heart disease.”
Dr. L. L. Seaman, physician in chief
of Charity Hospital, Blackwell’s Island,
took great interest in observing tlie
much-vaunted death scenes of Sara
Bernhardt, and, when once started on
tlie subject, lie is apt to give a judgment
of the great actress’ performances sonie-wliat
different from tiie general conclu-sions
oi the dramatic critics. Speak-ing
on this subject the other day, Dr
Seaman said that Mile. Bernhardt had
seven different ways of dying and all of
them wore totally unlike anything he
had ever seen in a medical practice cov-ering
many thousands of cases of all
kinds of dentil.
“Of course I do not hold myself respoti
sible for the deaths in my hospital any
more than for the births,” said Dr. Sea-man.
“Many patients come in when
they are almost in the last moments of
life. Many are known to he absolutely
beyond hope of recovery. But my ob-servation
convinces me that the dra-matists
and actors have far over-estima-ted
the pains of death, and especially
the possibilities of great mental effort
just previous to the moment of dissolu-tion.
“It is, in fact, about as difficult to tell
when a man dies as to determine when
lie goes to sleep. Death is a gradual, not
a sudden process. I am speaking now of
death by disease, not of violent death.
Possibly in tlie representation of violent
death the actors may come smiewhere
near the truth, but generally tlioir pic-tures
of death by disease are, to one who
knows tlie truth, simply ridiculous. Dis-solution
is as painless and unconscious
as birth. The approach to it may ho
protracted and painful. There may be
long and agonizing scenes resulting from
disordered imagination. Death destroys
one organ after another, not all at once.

But that there is pain in natural death 1
have long since ceased to believo.”
A veteran physician, speaking on this
subject recently, said : “Judging of the
thoughts of men by their words just pre-vious
to death, I should say that it often
happens that a dying person gives no
indication of thought upon a subject that
has been the favorite topic of a lifetime.
I have known active business men, with
important affairs unattended to, who
died with words upon their lips that in-dicated
absorption in some incident of
tho moment, generally relating to per-sonal
comfort. It was that sort of a death
that Washington Irving died, saying,
‘Well, I must arrange my pillows for an-other
weary night; if'this could only
end.’ Long sufferings under tho afflic-tions
of a painful disease will servo to
divert the mind of the strongest. Even
the philosopher, Ben Franklin,was forced
some high pitched notes, and they didn’t S11^ wBh iiis last breath, ‘A dying man

behold a panacea in a healthy mud poul-tice
which took away tiie poison, and it
was a matter of Hie past, but to the text.
Of the lacteal fluid I know whereof 1
speak, for it is not an uncommon sight
to see the lad of ten marching his com-pany
of healthy looking “hovines” to
their respective stalls, where securely
fa-tuned the milehing begins, the cattle
that graze upon ihe puiny sloping hill
sides not only furbish the milkman with
tme refreshing beverage that is sold at
ffmr door makes tlie baby laugh and the
old mail strong again, but supply your
market with the choicest butter. In the
early morn you may see the fair dairy
maid in neat dress and tasty collar, dex-terously
wield her acorn print or more
delicate “sheaf of wheat,” gracefully
turning the corners of the immaculate
square-over each gulden roll, whiciushe
in turn places in a bed of fresh leave-ready
to- lie borne from the cooling spring
can do nothing easy.' It is a very com-mon
thing for a dying person to express
sympathy with attendants who have
been attending them. Among tho last
words of Sir Walter Scott were, ‘Poor
souls, I know you were up all night.’
And yet, where there has not been
piotracted suffering, and where adminis-tration
of narcotics has not produced a
wandering mind, a dying person will
manifest an interest in whatever has
hum the uppermost thought of liis life.
Lord Chesterfield is reported to have il-lustrated
his proverbial politeness bv
requesting that a friend at his bedside
should he given a chair. Very often the
last words indicate thoughtfulness for
loved ones, Hueb .as the utterance of
Charles JI., ‘Let not poor Neilie starve;’
crot Thomas Jefferson, who said, ‘I re-si;
n my soul to God and my daughter to
iny country.’ It is but natural that what-ever
eons, iotismsi is left at the moment
of death should lie that of affection. I
have seen it expressed in a loving look
or a pres nro of tho hand, often Ion-'
a. «r t .c i.ewer of speech had gone.”

Ohamhors’ Journal recalls theso an-cient
jokes: A Sybarite, on a visit to
Sparta, partook of the Homely public
meal. He then observed: “No wondor

on such faro.’' Pomades compared the
Athenians to a clarionet—“Takeout their
tongues and thoy nro good for nothing."
V certain schoolmaster was reading

know it was yours.” “No,” was tiie re-ply,
"but you kilew it wasn't yours.’
The deseendents of tho old Forty-niners
are slowly getting tlioir interest
worked up to tho migrating pitch over
tlie discoveries of gold on an island in
tho Gulf of California, about 130 miles
south of the mouth of tho Colorado river.
It is as isolated as no man's lend, unsup-pliod
with water and a wilderness of
rooks. Consequently tho prospects of
placor-mining is poor enough, for with-out
water little can he dono in that line.
Thus far tho diggings have beon found
but. in ono valley, and are confined to an
area of five by twenty miles. Sovorul
adventurers who liavo pusliod forward
to this new Hold buvo boen driven back
for a want of even drinking water, which
is transported in small quantities ngreat
many miles, and only by tho systematic
organization of larger parties can this
last gold find on the Pacific coast be

Captain Wobb, according to tlie Au-burnian,

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in tiie back. Joins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose lie has some affection
of the kidneys or neighnoring organs.
At times, symptoms of indigestion are
present, as flattiency, uneasiness of the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspir-ation,
producing a very disagreeable
itching, particularly at liight after get-ting
will-111 in bed, is a very common at-tendant.

How Watch Cases are Made.
A plate of SOLID GOLD 14 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of a plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and tho
three aro then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts oftho cases—backs, centers, bezels,etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving, and engine-turning.
The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the written guarantee of the manufacturers
warranting each case to wear twenty years
proves that it contains all tho gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
by years of use without wearing through
the gold. DUBUQUE, 1A., DUO. 14,1880.

Tlio T.atrobo Advance of last week hns
the following particulars of an ugly
accident happening near T.atrobo:
On Saturday lust a seasonable acci-dent—
one of tlie harvest field, occurred
on tlio place of Jolir, George, .Tr., near
Latrobe. Tlie unfortunate victim of tl.c
accident was a young man named George
Neiman, who resides near Beatty station
and lias been assisting Mr. George with
his harvest. One of tlio improved har-vesting
machines was being used and
young Neiman, while working with it,
was in some manner or other caught by
the hook that gathers tlio sheaf together.
The sharp iron entered tlie fleshy part
of h is left forearm, penetrating between
tlie bones and almost through the arm.
It drew the arm with it and coming out
at the same place pulled out a large
bunch of tho muscle connected with the
middle and ring fingers. This muscle
was tom loose from the tendons of tlio
fingers. Tlie injury is such that it may
bring had results with it.
