in the morning, the streets became en-livened
with strains of sweet music amt
the people came to town in a manner
that surprised everybody. The arrival
of the hands with their strains of martial
music and the Hashing wheels of the bi-cycles
as they spun along the thorough-fares
combined to keep np the interest
of the assembly until after the''arrival of
the morning train when the last band

him before’Squire Kiclier, who released
him to appear at S o’clock the next

THIS HASH HAI.I. (JAMB.
It was half past two o’clock before the
grounds could be sufficiently cleared of
the crowd to admit of die game between
the Latrobe and home nines being called.
Mr. Shields, who umpired Saturday’s
game between these same teams, very
much against his will, was again called
upon to fill die same position. Tire l.a-trohe
batting order was as follows:
Mitchell ni; Showalterc; Dickens I; Ca-sey

Kiclier”; Shupe-3; 11. Mulliti, 1; Miller
1; F. Muliin r; J. Goldsmith in; Milbcc
p; Steiners; Queer c., some little change
having been made in both nines since
last week. The visitors, losing the toss,
were sent to tlio bat and put out in one,
two, three order by the home team who,
ill their half of die inning, made one
ftcprci. The yisitofs made two runs in
the second inning and two more in the j ? ’ 1
third, while die Stars got two in die1 “lni s* h antI

the fourth, added three more runs to |’llml|y anJ I wii( defend myself.’ While
ally and I will not go out.’
West said: ‘I will do anything to get
those dirty niggers out of tlio house.’ I
made a remark to Poter Loucks, 'I will
not lie concerned in it at all.’ West said
to l’eter Loucks, in my wife’s hearing:
‘Mr. Loucks, what do you think? Green-low
is going to hum this house down,
and I can prove ill’ I did not come homo
till dark, and a lien I came iij my wife
said to me: ‘Pate, what do you think
that wretch West said. He said that you
were going to burn this house down and
(lint lie could prove it. Unsaid it to l’ctor
Loucks.’ West was then renting six
rooms in my house. 1 said.’Iftlintis tlio
case I had better look out or it will gel
mo sent across tlio river. I will go to
Loucks’place in the morning and get
him to come down and ask him about
this before West, and if West acknowl-edges
it I will upset his meat house.’
This is tho nr.ly threat I made, hut it ban
been changed around to makeita threat
at his life. All this occurred tho first
lime I was arrested. 1 then went away
from town and worked a while at Ever-son
crossing. (stayed until tho 18th oi
this month, and then went back to see
hmv my wife and children were getting
along. As I was walking up Pittsburg
street Constable Konganeeker came on!
and said lie walked mo at. '.Squire Emb-er's
office soon, I told him lie would find
me in the next, saloon, as I was going to
get a glass of beer, in about three min-utes
he came hack after me anil I went
witli him to the ’Squire’s office. When
I arrived at tiio ollice I said, "Squire
here 1 am; what do you want with me, I
have done nothing to he arrested for that
I know of.’ The 'Squire answered, ‘it
makes no difference wliatyo t have done.
I want you to give bail or go to jail.’ I
told him dint 1 could get no hail at the

of a brace of lovers, evidently from

witli one another for they came down
town with arms around each other’s

COLD WAVS COMING.
Cold-wave flag has keen ordured up at
and the temperature will probably
fall in the next 24 hours.
Tito country lias
heim divided into dis-tricts,
and cold•wave
stations established at
central points; when
cold weather is antici-pated,
the cnld-tcare
flag (w hite flag, six or
eight feet square, witli
black centre, about
two feet square) will
be ordered up at the central station and
the information published in the Kar-mens’
Bulletin. These bulletins are dis-played
at portoflices, and it is believed
that a much wider distribution of die
information thus given may ho secured by
the display of mld-mirc flags at tlie va-rious
[IOB!offices where die bulletins
may tie received.
The Signal Service is not prepared to
supply these flags for general use, hot a
flag such as is described above will not
cost more than one dollar, and there may
be parties residing in (lie vicinity of
yonr office willing to co-operate in this
work hv furnishing the flag and display-ing
it at some prominent point for the
benefit of tlio public. It is believed that
much benefit will result from prompt ac-tion
on tlio pat? of those who may he
charged with tlio display of these flags,
and probably some arrangement may lie
made with die railroad companies, along
whose lines stations may bo located, to
assure tlie transmission by telegraph of
tiie order for tlio cold-wave, signals before
the receipt of tlie Farmers’ Bulletin.
The cold-wave flag is displaced only
when the warning is given in tho Far-mers’
Billetin', or by telegraph, and it
should be taken down at tlie expiration
of 24 hours, unless a second warning is
published. Please present this circular

The quirks and turns of'politics have
made some amusing changes. The Pro-hibition
party lias gained some adhe-rents
from both tho old parties mid the
arguments at die corner grocery for and
against each phase of die campaign are
loud inonthe.I and vigorous. It is en-tertaining
to listen to the hitter partisans
trying to convert each oilier and anath-ematizing
each other’s ideas as a denmi-tion
ruination to tlie great American
nation. It seems all the more ludicrous
when a moment's consideration would
lead all antagonists to the sensible con-clusion
that each arc so (irmly grounded
in their political faith that no adverse
arguments can change their belief.
Tho band tnrney passed off very sue
cessfully and 1 was glad of it, as tho
band should lie encouraged in their ef-forts
to build up a first-class musical or-ganization.
There were many interest-ing
features on the program and among
them by no means the least was tlie bi-cycle
race. It was unfortunate that a
race course could.not have been laid out
on die Association grounds, hut it was
not possible to do it. As it was the
greater part of the crowd did not know
where the bicycle races were to lie held
and consequently did not see them.
There is no exorcise more healthful and
enervating than a spin astride die silent
steed and I trust that tho presence of so
many healthy, sturdy looking young
wheelmen may lead to tho introduction
of the ’cycle in this place.

the causes may he which have led to
such cruel confinement, whether ignor-ance
or greed or both combined, they
have been shown to exist, and every in-stinct
of humanity demands that they he
relieved wherever found. Prompt at-tention
should he given to the matter by
nil persons to whom the circular is ad-dressed.
The State lias made ample pro-vision
for tlie care and maintenance of
all insane persons whose relatives are not
aide to pay for their maintenance, and
while the treatment of tlie insane in large
hospitals may not in all cases be most
conductive to their recovery, they will
he assured humane treatment at least.
The present action Df tlie. board will
probably result in finding such cases as
exist, if any, but it is still powerless to
apply a legal remedy in ease any are
found. They may, by publishing tlie
facts, compel the friends of such poor
unfortunates as have been hidden in pri-vate
confinement to consent to public
treatment out of mere shame and fear of
popular resentment, but tlie law does not
give the board power of supervision un-less
two or more insane persons are in
confinement at the same place.
Jn oilier words, the board cannot le-gally
interfere in the case of single pa-tients
confined by tlie friends or family
of the lunatic. It will be necessary for
the Legislature to extend the power of
the board to include all insane persons
before a complete remedy for private
cruelty and neglect can be found. Such
an amendment to the laws relating tu
the insane should be made at the earliest
possible opportunity
STATE FAIRS.
TII-IUOITOW the season for Slate fairs
begins and continues until October, dur-ing
which time seventy-four of these
gatherings avo held. People who have
lived in a city all their lives van have no
idea of these great country congresses
or the place they hold In the life <d the
nation.
They supply the field for ambition and
ainusemi'nl to a large majority o( our
people, for It Is a fact which we are apt
to forget that the American nation is not
a handful of politicians and journalists,
nor yet the baker’s dozen of sexllllloti-alres,
nor even the women and young
iiien In the large cities wo lend the fash-ion,
hut the Innumerable small farmers,
the mechanics and the gentry ot small
Inhthd towns. Among these millions
who never come Indore the public io any
oilier way, the yearly fair Is the one
chance of fame. For months they pre-pare
for It. Anxious housewives are
kneading bread or moulding Imlter;
pretty, while-armed girls are making
amber jellies; the old grandmother
stitches at tin marvellous quilt on which
her name and age are to be pinned;
while, outside, tlie w hole tarm is alive
with energy and competition, from
tlie huge turnips to the Morgan ponies
which are to trot for tlie first prize.
The whole family will lie at tlie lair,
the ladies in the carriage, in their well-saved
silk dresses and llowery bonnets,
and tlie men in llieir farm clothes, burn-ed
yellow in Ihe sun, down among the
beeves and pig.-*. What an outpouring
of gossip there is during Hie live days.
Kindly gossip, emphasized witli hearty
hand shakes and hursts of incessant
laugh ter- incessant astonishment, too
to find tlie “old folks looking so rugged,”
or the “girls grown into sueli downright
beauties,” or, more than all, at tlie ba-bies.
The haliies carry nil' the ii|iphttisi
from even Hie prize pig or Hie statue ot
Hebe moulded lit butter. Tlie young
mothers Invariably appear in the!'1 jaun-tiest
gowns bearing tlie latest marvel of
creation in Mowing embroidered gar-ments,
and the eager crowd gathers to
sec “Sally’s boy” with a keen delight
ns though Sally were F.ve and lids tin
first-horn heir of Hie world. Down by
ring, too, tlie round cheeked girls gather
gay w it 11 unreasonable velvets and Haunt-ing
pinnies, to watch tlie young farmeri
run their ponies and ti 1 lies lor Ihe prize
John's tanned cheek grows hot unde

there, tlie old man and woman strive

unreasonable joy of youth, and llie
equally unreasonable gloom of agi
and here, as there, the baby is king
Life, like a Chinese song, has hut tlm
or four notes, whether it is sung in

Dub the broad, sweet, healthy life of
America, which expresses Itself in those
yearly assemblies, is not appreciated
even by Americans. Foreigners know
our people principally by the more tasli-ionable
inhabitants of tlie great eilies,
and compare them with the -nine class
abroad. When America is contrasted
with Knghuul, to show the result of na-tional
Influences, it is Piccadilly and
Murray llill or Heaeom Street that are
set side by side, not the hovels of York-shire
and the farm homesteads of Penn-sylvania.
There is, too, in our country life, dis-tant
from the great centres, and, neces-sarily,
so far out of the vulgarizing in-fluences
of tashlon and high range of
culture, a sound common sense and a
pure, modest, domestic life, as a whole,

BISMARCK’S NEW SCHEME.
That the German Chancellor is at his
old game of sowing dissension among
his enemies is evident from the recent
tone of tlie German semi-official press
with regard to France upon the one hand
and Great Britain upon tlie other. It is
clear that Bismarck has two things to
gain by animadverting on the selfish pol-icy
of England and artfullycneoiiraging
the French hopes ot foreign conquest,
lie can, perhaps, extort from tlie British
Foreign Office stteli important conces-sions
in Africa and Oceaniea as will pro-mote
ids plan of diverting tlie stream of
German emigration to colonics founded
andcontrolled by the Berlin Government.
If at the same time lie can revive tlie
latent antipathy between Englishmen
and Frenchmeu, lie will add the last
stroke to tlie cunning work begun more
than twenty years tigo, and whose pur-pose
is to nullify by hopeless isolation
the political Influence of Franco iu Eu-rope.
The latest dispatches indicate that Bis-marck
is attaining botli of tlie objects
kept in view. With a deference that
shows how much England has to fear
THE BEAUTY OF FREE TRADE,
When a well-known Protectionist
wilier recently made a tour of industrial
Great Britain and described the condi-tion
of the population in parts of that
country, his statements, though merely
descriptions of what lie saw, were gen-erally
contradicted by Hie rampant
Free-trade press here at home. Not that
tills Free-trade press was particularly
well informed iu relation to tlie districts
through which this correspondent pass-ed,
Imt simply because the plain fuels lie
presented did not accord with the econo-mic
theories they love to expound.
I'he descriptions of the iudustiiai
classes, from tills Protective source, in
tlie vicinity of ('oatliridgc and Glasgow,
the shipping Industries of tlie < 'lyde, the
linen industries centering in I )umice, etc.,
though showing a large amount, of pov-erty
and want, were not nearly so terri-ble
as arc tlie accounts of the same re-gions
in the current number of the
“Nineteenth Century,” written by the
Free-trader, IFcnry George. Women, lie
says, in Scotland to do the work of ani-mals,
children are stunned iu growth
from want of nourishment, and young
girls are chained to the work of factories
or go prowling in tlie streets; that while
a few Scotchmen iinya castles and even
broad acres, more than a third of tlif;
Scotch families live in one room each,
and more than two-thirds in not more
than two rooms each.
llis description of the metropolis of
Glasgow is worse than any Protection-ist's
account yet printed, lie found iu
underground cellars and miserable
rooms, crowded together, families who
had been driven into tlie great city to
comiietc with each other for employment
at any price, to i;av/‘ their children de-bauched
by daily contact lyltl) a.lj that is
vile. He noted there tlie stunted forms
and pinched features, vice, drunkednegs,
tiie recklessness that conies when hope
goes, and with it he also found hard,
brave, stubborn, struggling. But, alns,
without reward. The workman who is
willing to work in this Free-trade land
cannot find steady employment; the
bread-winner stricken with illness must
become a pauper, while widows are
straining to keep tlicir children from tlie
workhouse. 1 n Edinburg this same Free-trader
found human beings living iu
places unfit for dogs.
And tj.ijs is no exaggeration of the con-dition
ot labor iu .SgQtlaml. No doubt
the atrocious land system to v.liiyli Mr.
George attributes this condition of affair,
lias a great deal to do with it; but Free
Trade was helped to grind down tlie
wages of these poor creatures after they
have been turned from tlie land into the
large cities to seek a living. It lias
already been shown that Scotland is alar-med
Jest Indian competition in tlie flax
industry shoe Id not only secure for In-dia
a largo portion of ^.h.c foreign trade,
but, with their cheap Gooho labor and
free admission into English ports, enable
them to invade the home market itself.
MUTTON-CHOP WHISKERS MUST (!()
Il Is gratifying to uliserve Hull Ihe ag
gresslvc Ihitler lias brought one live Is
sue Into the campaign, by asserting that
tlie British party In this county “cut
their whiskers British I'aslmu even, soils
to appear as un-American as possible.”
This blow at mill toll chop whiskers
should receive the hearty support of all
truly cjlielio Americans. The mutton
chop whisker is an unnrnameutal and
unpleasant exotic ami should lie abolish-ed
by penal rules. When Butler i el
cried I’resldenl no recreant American
will dare to parade Ids treason on his
checks with that liir ute disfiguration.
On the other hand he will send a Minis-ter
to England who despises mutton
chop whiskers, lie will send the sou of
an Irishman, with blood In his eye and
a goatee on his chin. If Benjamin will
abolish the mutton-chop whiskers a
grateful country will enact il to lie very
had taste for any person thereafter to in*
dtilgo in any political references to
spoons.— Pilltthmv/ /h'.s/wt/#7i,

I’ru-' ngont visited tho Lieutenant at Ids
cottage on Seavcv's Island on Saturday
afternoon. I to was cordially received hy
Lieut. (lively, and when he staled the!
object of his visit tin* Lieutenant at once
willingly consented to give all the inlor-1
mat ion desired.
Lieut. (Jreely said that tin* ohjc
the Lady Franklin Hay Expedition
In establish av Lady Franklin Hay
hy a rumbling of distant thunder heard
twice far away to the north.
In the course of the tidal observations
made it very interesting fact was discov-ered,
vl*: that the tides at L?ul.\ Frank-lin
Lay come from the north, while those
at Melville Hay and ('ape Sabine come
from the south. The temperature of
this north tide Is two degrees warmer
j than that of the south tide at, Capo Sn-i
bine. Why tills was Hunt. Ureely
would not venture to say. lie used In
i measuring tin* ebb and tl »\\ of the tide
; tide a llxed gauge—an Iron ro I planted
I in the mud. The average rise of spring
| tides at Lady Franklin Hay was found to
he eight feet. At Cape Sabine the liigli-t
tides rise twelve feet. Surf wasonlv
observed twice during tho two years. At
; Lady Franklin Hay the average tompor-t
j attire of the water was 29° above zero or
was |M,jow j|1(, tVeezing point.
L°‘ Wolves weighing ninety pounds were
lar station, one of the thirteen suggested ! je,j
by TJeut. Woypreeht of Australia, who!
around Fort Conger, and there
I are foxes and other animals there. <)t
‘ j fish there is a wonderful scarcity. Per-haps
the greatest surprise of the expe-dition
was Hu* taking Luke Alexander, a
fresh water lake, fifteen feet above sea
level, a four-pound salmon. From the
hay or sea only two very small lisli were
taken during I ho entire two years, and
. , , ..... . v.wy few are to he found north of Cape
had were those ot declination and devia-, sibim
lion of the magnetic needle, teperatun
eons observations of all physical pheno-mena
wore to be tnkuii. 'Llie programme
which was to be followed was arranged
by an international polar congress, in
which representatives of thirteen nations
took pail. The observations in which
the greatest possible accuracy was to he
nf 111 • air and sea, height of barometer
find mean and maximum rise and fall of
titles. All explorations were incidental
to the main objects of the expedition.
The expedition was tilted out under
authority of an act of Congress approved
May I, lsSO. The parly was composed
o!’three olllcers of the Army, on acting
A v'idant Surgeon, and nineteen enlisted
men, selected hy recommendation from
1 lie ranks of I he army. Stores for t wenly-seven
mouths were put on the Proteus
1 >r tho party. The Proteus s'.earned
away from SI. John’s, N. F., July 7,
1881, with the party on hoard. She
touched at Pisco island and Cppernavik
to procure sledges, dogs, skins, and dog
food. Two Fpuimaux were added to the
pai ty at Proven. Landing was made at
Carey L land in the north water, and
provisions cached hy Xarcs in 1S73 in
the Alert were found in good condition.
At Littleton Island Lieut. Cicely perso-nally
recovered th<‘ English Arctic mail
lull by Sir Allan Young in the Pandora
in 187b. At Carl Hitter Hay. in Kennedy
Channel, a cache of provisions for use on
the retreat was made.
it was tin* original intention to estab-lish
Hie polar station at Water Course
Hay an exceedingly dangerous anchor-age.
Moving to Discovery Harbor, the
station was there established on the site
occupied by the English expedition of
Wo. The erection of a house was at
once begun, and the stores and
incuts were landed.
Dn Aug. 28 came the parting between
the (lively party and the men of the Pro-tens.
The little band gathered on the.
frozen share and watched the Proteus as
she steamed slowly down Lady Franklin
Hay, leaving them to the mercies of the
cruel Xortli. On the evening of the
same day the temperature sank below the
freezing point, and the icy Arctic winter
was on them in earnest. Their house was
finished about a week after the Proteus
The vegetation at Lady Frank-lin
Hay is about the same as at Cape Sa-bine,
and comprises mosses, lichens, wil-lows,
and saxifrage. Snow storms are,
of course, most Ireipient, and rain falls
very rarely. The highest velocity of t he
wind was registered during a turrille
snow storm, seventy miles per hour.
Lockwood’s trips to the north hi 1882
and iss;| were productive of the most
j valuablu results. Standing on the 1‘Jth
j of May in each year where Dr. I!.i\
had formerly stood at about tin* same
d iy, Lockwood, from an elevation of
2,0(H) feet, using his strongest glass oil
j Hall s Hashi and Kobe-on's Channel
I could discern nothing but ice packs.
Here it was that Dr. I la vs claimed to,
eipnp-have
seen bis open j <>!.-;r :<\i. On t|i(
trip of 1^82 Look wood reached the high-est
latitude ever attained—s;p 2.V north.
This was abut J00 miles directly north
of Lady Franklin Hay, but to get there
he travelled over 1.000 miles, the open
water and broken packs fivptontlv caus-ing
him to retrace Ids steps liny miles.
Lockwood sounded the sea both years
between ('ape Hryaut and (.'ape Hritan-nia,
but could not reach bottom with 1
fatliout.% of line. Markham, a few years
before*, about 100 miles to the v.est got
bottom at seventy-two fathoms. Lock-wood
found at Ids furthest north about
the same vegetation as at Lady Frank-lin
Hay, but no signs of a polar current
or open p»dar sea. In lxs.'l lie was slop-ped
near ('ape Hryaut, 123 miles from
Lady Franklin Hay, by an open channel
extending west to the coast of Criniicil
Land. The width of this channel varied
from 200 yards to live miles, but cm the1
north the ice packs extended as far as
could i»e seen with a glass. With Ids
supply of provisions, the failure of which
had caused Ids return the year before,
Lockwood was confident that lie cojild
have reached 85° north, if this open
channel had not barred his way. Xo
lossil remains were discovered on this
ords they learned the fate of the Proteus.
Every one knew that death must come
to neatly all of the party long before the
whip of rescue could force Hs way into
Melville Hay. Efforts were madetosns-taln
the spirits of tho men by lectures
and light rending. On Oct. 13 tiio party
removed to < 'ape Sabine, On Jan. 18
Dress died of scurvy, In April the ra-tions
Issued daily had dwindled to fom*
ounces of meal and six ounces of bread.
Man after man died, and all hope had
lied, when, on that stormy day, the blast
ot the I’lietis’s whistle roused the sur-vivors
from the lethargy of approaching
death.
Lieut. (Jreely, when asked as to Ids
ideas upon the probable results of the
I retie expiration, said :
“I do not think the north polo can he
reached unless every circumstance hith-erto
found to In* unfavorable should
prove favorable to the party attempting
to remdi the pole. If it is to he done at
all, it will ho done by way of Franz
Joel' Land. It could never have been
reached by the Jeannette's route. That
there is an open polar sea I am well-nigh
certain. This is proved hy tin* ice drift-ing
out of Mussel Hay ami then Spltz-hergen
in midwinter, and the northern

How Watch Cases are Made.
A plate of SOLID GOLD 14 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of a plate of
hurd nickel composition metal, and tho
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts of the cases—backs, < enters, bezels,etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers,
'i'lio gold is thick enough to admit of nil
kinds of elmsing, engraving, and engine-turning.
'i’lie composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and sulitlily, while
the written guarantee of the manufacturers
warranting each case to wear twenty years
proves that it contains all tho gold that
can possibly he needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth

J.(>NDON, Alt}'. I, ’SI.
ilicAit Jot'HNAL:— It is almost Ittipossi-
!>lo to know wltoro to lie^iti to say any-tliitii'
about litis grout city of I. union.
It would taku otto :t loti:.: time? t" 10» all
of tlie sights and feel us tlinuidi lie knew
anything about l.ujidou. You etui have
some idea of the size of it when you
think of a city with, all of its business
and hustle nhmit live times as large as
New York.
“There are in London more Seotoh-men
than in Kdinhurgh, more Irish than
in Dublin, more Jews than In Palestine,
and more Human Cal holies than in
Home.” When one lirst arrives in Lon-don
and lakes out his oily limp lor con-sultation
he feels bewildered, and it
seems as though London were a larger
place than England itself. The business
streets are moving musses of vehieles of
till kinds; omnibuses take the plaeo of
street ears, or tramways as they rail them
on this side. There tire thousands of
these omnibuses running in all direc-tions
; they all have seats on top and MO
carry about twice as many passengers as
ours do at home. A very good way to
get some idea of llie size of Loudon is
to get on top of a bus and ride just as far
as it goes, then lake onotlier and ride in
a different direction. If one can get a
box seat by the driver, and, if lie is a
talkative fellow, which lie is sttro to be
if a small fee be given him, lie will
point out all the places of interest along
the line. Last Friday wo went to see the
Hoyal Stables at Ihu kinglmm Palate.
There are one hundred and twenty hor-ses
in the stables; among the number
are ten cream colored ones used on state
occasions only. The stale carriage is a
gorgeous affair, one hundred and twenty
years old and cost about forty thousand
dollars. It is gilded and painted beau-tifully
and reminds one of the carriages
seen in fairy hooks. This carriage and
the cream colored horses have not been
used since the Queen went to Parliament
four years ago. We have been told that
they are not likely to he used again until
the Prince of Wales is made King of
England. Tito harness for each of these
houses weighs one hundred pounds.
They told us at the stables that tjiese
horses were very vicious and that it is
very dangerous for a stranger to go near
them. 1 should think it would he
enough to ruin any horse to he tied up
for four years. They have two hours
exercise every day, but that does not
seem very much. Two grooms watch
them day and night.
We have been to llvde Park several
times to see the riding and driving.
“Rotten How” is the plnco in the Park
to see the fashionable world out for its
daily airing; from 12 o’clock until 2 is
the time to see the riding, and from T
until,/ the driving. During these hours
one sees some very line turnouts—the
coachmen in gay liveries and white wigs
look quite odd to us.
Wc have been to St. Paul’s Cathedral,
the third targeBt church in the world.
In one of the hell towers is the largest
bell in England, having been cast in
1882 and weighs 18 tons. The Duke of
Wellington is buried in the crypt of St.
Paul’s, llis hearse, cast from cannon
taken by himself in bis numerous bat-tles,
is also there.
One of tha lirst sights that we went
to see after coming to London was The
Tower. The armories of The Tower are
immense places antt it seems to mo they'
contain guns, swords, and ail kinds of
weapons sufficient to conquer a world.
We saw the block on which numbers of
people were beheaded; we also saw the
spot where Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane
/Grey lost their heads.
One day this week wo will go to Wind-sor
Castle to see where Queen Victoria
lives; site has now gone to her castlo in
the Isle of Wight. To-day, tho lirst
Monday in August, is a bunk holiday.
All the stores and places of business are
closed and everybody is devoting them-selves
to having a good time. It seems
seems to bo a sort of a 4th of July. It
does not do to say too much about our
good old 4th to an Englishman. ,T. II.

EDITORS JOURNAL :—As the JOURNAL
seems to have become the medium
adopted by former Mt. Pleasant boys—
Ed. Hitehman, Harry Hearn, etc—now
away from tho staid old town, to com-municate
with all friends—to whom they,
like myself, are too lazy to write to in-dividually-
I will, with your permission,
let some of them know what I am doing
and a few facts about the great “Corn
City" of northwestern Ohio, though my
duties in the Bla0< Book, Job and Show-bill
Printing House have been so con-fining
that I've had but little chance to
see much of the city. Toledo is situated
on the “coffee-colored Maumee” river
about eiglit or ten miles from Lako Erie,
