SEE NO  ICSV.E. IN CORRUPTION.
THESE ARE HUSTLING TIMES.
Engliah People Tnable to Understand the Apathy of Americana.
The delight of being a nation, and a very big nation at that, has nut yet with na lost all tbe charm of novelty, and we pelt oue another with ridicule after the joyously aggressive fashion of school¬ boys pelting one another with snow¬ balls. Already tbere is a vast array of seasoned and recognized jokes which are leveled against every city in th© land. The culture of Boston, the slow¬ ness of Philadelphia, the ostentation of New York, the arrogance and ambition of Chicago, tbe mutual jealotisy of Min¬ neapolis and St. Panl—these are themes of which the American satirist never wearies; these are characteristics which he has striven, with some degree of snc¬ cess, to make clear to the rest of man¬ kind. Add to them our less justifiable diversion at ofiBcial corruption and mis¬ management, onr glee over the blunders and rascalities of the men whom we permit to govern ns, and we have the curious combination of kcenue.8s and ap¬ athy, of penetration and Indifference, which makes possible American humor.
Now, Englishmen, however prone tc langh at their own foibles, do not, as a rule, take their own politics lightly. Those whom 1 have known wero most depressingly serious when discussing tha situation with friends and most disa¬ greeably violent when by chancs they met an opponent. Neither do they see anything funny in being robbed by cor¬ porations, but, with discouraging and unhumorous tenacity, exact payment of tho l.'ust farthing of debt, fulfillment of the last clause in a charter. Onr lenity in such matt€rs is a trait which they fail to understand and are disinclined to envy. One of tho moet amusing scenes I ever witness^ was an alterca¬ tion between an exceedingly clever Eng¬ lish woman, who for years bas taken a live'y part in public measures, and a country woman of my own, deeply im¬ bued with that gentle pessimism which insures contentment aad oars reform. The subject under discussion was the Btreet carserviceof Philadtlphia, which would havo been primitive for Asia Mi¬ nor, and the English woman was ex¬ pressing in no measured terms her amazement at snch comprehensive and unqualified iuefflcifiicy.
In vain my American friend erplain cd to her that this car service was one of the most diverting things about onr Quaker City; that it represented oue of those humorous details which gave Philadclpbi.t its distinctly local color. The Engli.sh woman declined to be amused. "I do not understand you in the least,'' sho said gravely. "You have a beantiful city, of which you shouli' be proud. You have disgraceful streets and trams, of which you should be ashamed. Yet you ridicule your city as if you wore ashamed of that and defend your trams as if yon were proud of them. If you think ic funny to be im¬ posed on, yon will never be at a loss for a joke. "—Cozy Hours.

An accident was acconntable for onr Bojourn here. The steamship Miranda bad mn on a sunken reef, and we had put back to Sakkertoppen for raliof. The acquBintance of the Dani^i governor and his assistant, with their wives and families, had been made, and we had been shown every courtesy aud hospital¬ ity. The igloos or Eskimo hnts had been visited, and tbe faces and customs of these peculiar people were becoming more familiar, bnt a Snnday we had not yet experienced.
My jonmai for Snnday, Aug. 12, re- txitda tbe following: We had breakfast at 8 thia morning because of the neces¬ sary preparations to attend service at the Eskimo church. I rowed ashore im¬ mediately after breakfast to interview the governor and ascertain if it would bo agreeable for us to hold service that evening at St James' chnrch, the Es¬ kimos having thoir services at 10 and 4 o'clock. Mr. Petersen, a half breed who had studied at Copenhagen for two years, was summoned, and all due ar¬ rangements mada Mr. Petersen and his father, an old tnan with a kind faue, act as lay readers, a regular priest com¬ ing once a year to administer the sacra¬ ment, coj-flrm and marry. The service is Lutheran. At 10 o'clock we were all at the church tc attend a most curious but reverently conducted service. Mr. Petersen, Sr., oCBciated, and his son played. The church is of stone, white¬ washed, with a wooden front, the wood having been brought from Denmark, its 8pir<s Burmonnted by a cross, showing hot. in every tribe and kindred the symbol of our religion is being uplifted. It was not long ago that these people were pagan, and many of thom farther north on the eastern coast still hold to the crude faith of their forefathers.
About the doors of the church was certainly a strange gathering, the men not very differently dressed from our¬ selves, except tliat some of them wore trousers of sealskin and a blouse of some coarse material lined with seal and a short boot or killick of tanned leatljer; the women—tbe married ones distin- gui.shed from tho unmarried by wearing a blue ribbon, the latter wearing red, wound about a peculiar fashion of he.vl- drcss—a loose fittiug blouse with an amowt or bag attached to the back for lanjicg tbier babies, a broad beaded necklace, short trotisers of-fi^als^in. » long boot decorated with bright striff of leather and no hats. At the ringing of the second bell more church comiTS hurried from their little igloos. No one entered the church until Mr. Petersen first went in. The front pews h»rl been reserved for us, and in our rear this strange congregation—the men on one side and the women on the other—ar¬ ranged themselves, the children sitting in front of them, upon whom the watch¬ ful eye could rest aud interrupt any en- tbtisiastio diversions from tho service Itself. A period of the motst violent coughing ensued, consumption being common, a result of careless living aud the mixture of the Danish and Eskimo races.
The interior of the church was neatly painted iu white and light blue, the altiir covered with a cloth of red, with flower-de-lace embroidered iu gold. On tho altar were two encharistio lights and a crucifix. Completing the chan¬ cel's furnishings were the lectern and old fashioned pulpit .ind a small reed organ. A stovo in which peat is bnmc<l, near the center of the nave, afforded tho necessary heat. The service was be¬ gun in a low, tearful roice and main¬ tained throughont iu the same mono¬ tone. While nothing, of course, could be understood by u.«, the service ¦vsa." nevertheless impressive. A few opening Bent<nc33 were first read, then tht Lord's Prayer. A chant followed, snng in perfect harmony, but very slowly. Th a Eskimos have good voices and nn excellent sense of harmony. It took 15 minu'es to Fing this chaut A chapter was then read, after which, for the first time, tho congregr.tion rose to repeat 8omo short versicla A very unimpas- sioned sermou of 23 minntes wa.s read, during which one man hf-sitated not to loudly snora At the close of the sennon they arose for the a-scription. A hymn followed, then a prayer, and the grace, and the service was ended.
At 6 o'clock that evening we return¬ ed for our own scrviea To my surprise there were about 200 Eskimo waiting arouud the church. It was a most cu¬ rious congregation and impressed me singularly. In the front pewa sat eome of our university professors, several phy.sicians, lawyers, meu of business, college students, tho Danish governor, his wife and family, the assistant gov¬ ernor and his wife, a'lxmt 80 of the Mi¬ randa's crew, and iu the rear closely seated together were tho huskies, as these Eskimo are called, the peculiar fashion of wearing the hair, with their colored ribbons, producing a strange effect A sermon of Dr. Liddon's was read. An Eskimo organist played the hymns which I had arranged throngh Mrs. Bistrup, the governor's wife, as interpreter, sbonld be played in the or¬ der as marked when I snook my head. We sang "Blessed Be the Tie That Biud," "Abide With Me," "Nearer, My God, to Thee" and "Coronation."
Let every kindred, every tribe.
On thia terrestrial ball To h'm all majesty ascribe
An-l crown him Lord ol al!
•eemed fittingly appropriata
We remained after service to hear tbe Eskimo sing. Musfo they do not seem to acquire; it is a bom talent with al¬ moet all of them. Having been delight¬ fully entertained by tbe governor and his family, otjr Sunday amid Green¬ land's icy mountains came to an end, leaving impressions which will long be pleasan tly remembered.—Churohmaa.

A great many jrears ago there resid¬ ed li Marseilles an old man named Guyot. He was known to every inhab¬ itant, and every urchin in the street conld point him ont as a niggard in hii dealings and a wretch of the utmost penury in his habits of lifa From hii boyhood this old m&n had lived in th« city of Marseilles, and although the peo¬ ple treated him with soom and hatred nothing would induce him to leave it
When he walked the street, he was followed by a crowd of hooting boy^ who often t) rew stones and mnd al him. Tbere was no one to speak a kind word in his favor.

Wlieelmen Resisting Turnpike Tolls.
Recently the Pennpylvania Wheel¬ men's assMjciation applied to Attorney General Uensel for a writ direciing the Perkiomen and Reading Turnpike com¬ pany to show cause why their charte' should not be forfeited on account of alleged violaiiou thereof by requiring bicycle ri.lers t<i pay toll. This the Attorney General declined to do, stating that such proceedings ehould be com¬ menced in the courts.
The wheelmen are now doing this, having made up a caee bv sending a man with a bicycle tbroagH one of the nates. He refused to pay toll, where¬ upon the company arrested him and he was Zu2^. The wheelmen appealed, and a prelimna.''y hearing will take piace ill ReadinK, on"*iM2.ud8v next Preeident F. .M. Hobeon. of CoTJeeeville, will appear with Isaac Heister, Esq , ae council, and tbe Wheelmeu's aaeociation will be represented by one or two prominent lawyers. The outcome of the case, which will doubtless go to the supreme Court, will be awaited with interest.

The Immortal WashinKton.
The following remarkable "essay" on George Washington was written by a girl in a eecondary class of one of the publio BchoC'ls oi Philadelphia, accord¬ ing to The Ledgd- of tbat city. It was meant seriously:
"I will tell yon the story in history of George Washiugton. George Wash¬ ington was Ixirn Feb. 13, 1726.
"He W.1.S educated at West Point, and after graduating served in tho Mexican war.
"When tho French and Indian war broke out, he was made captaiu and general and major and performed many imported services.
"In 1759 He rezined and married Mrs. Martha Acusta, and went to live ou his estate at Mt Vemon. In the Virginia legislature, of ^bichhewnsa member, he rook tbe part against tbe oppression of England. In 1843 he waa elected president of congre98 and took an active part in public affairs. He fought mimy battles and finally captur¬ ed General Lee imd his whole army, April 9, 1SC5. He finally eurrendered at Yorktown, under Lord Comwallis, and tbe war ended 1760. Thns he owes the liberty to us, and he is called tbe father of this conntry. The emstitutlon having been adapted, George Washing¬ ton was made president of tbe United States. He served two terms, but refus¬ ed to serve a third term, having taken a severe cold from a ride in the rain. He died at Mt Vemon, aged 67 years."
Business called us over some daya ago to Upper Dublin and Uorsham townshipe. We p£isse<i out in the early mom, over the well-known road—from which othere ramify to Philailelphia and other parta of the c<iuntry—the ".Sandy Hill Toail," ibd from its beautiful elevations vi< as Wc journeyed along, the "laiul-i<.;ii>i' o'er," the flne, well-tilled fielda on cither side of the way on toward Narciasa, fann¬ ed on the prmciple of modem, eastern fanning, being a higher cultivatiun on less land with more manure, etc.; thongh many of the farms along tne way were quite large, but showwi. nevertheless, great attention and application, aud ev¬ erything about looked, ua Paul says, "de¬ cently and in order." A great view, too, is had, at the intersection of liallowell avenue with th3 Sandy Hill road, of the great river below, ai* it goeti uioundering on to Philadelphia: and the great raiiroada that parallel with it, and from which Uiey get their level, have their iron patiis near its waters, as though desiring the affinity. Kach lias its mission, and how the waters of the one liave been utilized, and the utility of the other, are known and read by all.
Bearing off on the roads northeast, leading towanls Narcissa Creamery, with the very fine farms around as we ^a>>- proach the locality, which i»—thia Cream^ ery—a great nucleus for all the farmera "throughout this Galilee," with their great, strong wagons coming in, like Jacob's wagons uf old, with their com from I'^-pt—bearing away, as we aay, the eye takes in the busy localitv of I'lymoutii Meeting, and around about C<;r8on'8 etation, on I'lymouth Vallev railroad, aiul Trenton Cut-off, in the rien Plyinouth Valley, with the smoking lime¬ kilns arotmd there, pioverbial, for years, for the out-put of lime of great quahty, whicli goes not only on the cars to Phil¬ adelphia, for the constmction of dwell¬ ings, but away out in L'pper Dublin and llursham townships, and to the east and west of those places, to build also, and to fertilize its lai.ds,—to triple and quad¬ ruple the products of ilie soil. "Who makes two blades of grass g^w where one grew before is a public benefactor."
The magnificent, elegant roods over which we paased soon brought na to the Broad Axe, a place quite £mous in the days agone, in the social world, for great gatherings, "sleighing jxarties," if snow enough—ad in/imlum. From all parte of tlie compass, from near and from ufar, they came.
"Merrily danced the Qnaker*i wife. And merrily danced tbe Quaker."
"Great hornpipes. Jigs, strathspey* and reela Put life and mettle m their beela."
"On went the dance, joy was mwoiiflnad."
The farmcRj' sons and the bcsinen clerks were thei-e in full Iig, the girls with feathers on their heads, the young fellowa with Chapeau.v bras.       ,
For nearly a century and a half there has been a hotel then.-. A John Rex, of South Carolina, owned it seventy yeai's. Then tiie property passed to a near rela¬ tive, Mr. John Rex, of tliat locality, fa¬ ther of Mr. Jacob L. Rex, of iWO .Swede street, Norristown, who owned the prop¬ erty tifty years, till ISo.}. Then came an Acuff. Then Mr. William Michener, who waa there fifty years ago, and when the gaities of the gntheriuga we have made mention of transpired. A William Van Dyke follows Mr. Michener, and the place keeps up its notoriety and popular¬ ity for its pleasant social occasions. One Thomaa Coar, too, liad the property in more recent time, till the present one, Mr. Schreiber. Several of the latter onea mentioned only rented the property. The reader will observe that thia Iiaa been a hotel property, ior J ]l'-;j^rg." L T»;j-gfeat thoroughfares of travel in¬ tersect each other at right angles at thia "Broad Axe " hamlet. The old "Skip- pack road," or pike, now, for a consider¬ able distance, and the "Plymouth and Upper Dublin" pike, or, as it is frequent¬ ly called, the "Butler pike." Atolliiouae and gate is at this place for the Skippack pike. Ita eastern terminus is just below Fort Washington, where it joins the Bethleheni pike. The other end of tbe road is at the extreme upper side of Up¬ per Salford town.sl;ip, quite un ' ''¦ -f Marlboruugli townsliip, wlien with the Spri.ighouse and .Siiuim-t mwn turnpike. This road, or pike, ia ovor twenty miles long. Tlie other ^'Iko men¬ tioned is fourteen milts lonp, extending north as far aa Prospectville, in Horsham townahip.
.K good ("tore is at this place, kept by Mr. Dannehower, and some other mdua- tries, usual in villages. A poat office, after the not euphonious name of tbe place, is at the store.
Pasaiug on out tt'wards Ambler, a beau¬ tiful landscape is feen off to our right, stretching grand and beautiful to the hor'zon. 'Ho wonder tliat the poet waa induced to say, "God made the conntry, man made the town," and, as he further says, "I am on a merrv jaunt; I'll try for once who can fciot it larther."
And on through the ambient air, wide interfuseil, emoracing roun<l our wo:'der¬ ful earth, -xe are soon to the Viiasahick-^- on, a stream well-known and adnrired, and sch'jlars say tho name looks well iu print Wm. .1. Buck, Esq., of Jenkin¬ town, the load historian, wrote of the "CutillcBsa," a stream in eastern Bucks county, and the scholarly James B. ICver- hart, iieq., of Weat Chester, wrote lieau¬ tifullv of the "famous Brandywine," a gtretiu in Ciietter county, some miles southwest of West Chester, ever memor¬ able for the great battle at Chadd's fold, in Septeinber, 1777, which criniHoned ita waters and stained its banks and the floors of the dwellings thereabout nitb blood, v;b.ich we have seen. So, we say, there will be, not a Gibbon to write a "decline and fail," but aome one who will do great juatice to this beautiful, ain- uoua. stn^m, and its sweetness shall not go "wasted on tbe desert air."
This brings us now, as the local reader, at least, knowf, to the interesting town of .-anbler, on the Xorth Penn.«vlvania railroad, fifteen niilea from Philadelphia, an account of which, and further ou into the country, we will reserve for our next, merely saying that it is to that locality,-»> and the country around, what brilliant Bryn MavsT ia 10 Lower Merion, or gor- geovm Wayne, which is further on up the same railrcMid, ia to Radnor, in Delaware county.	
All Namea For Bieyele*.
Here ia an amusing linguistic consul¬ tation on tbe aubject of tbe denomina¬ tion of the velocipede in different lan¬ guages: In French it was called celeri- fere and velocifere. Thai came the words bicycle, bicyclette, velce and vela The word becane, which has alao boen given to it, ia taken from the Ar¬ got ItB etymology is unknown. It rig- nifies simply machin&
In Italian it ia called velocifero, Jk- iocipede and bicicletta; tbe MUnePln Spanish.
In Germany it ia farrad or simply rad, jnst aa in English tbey flay "wheel." Tho Chineae call Itaometimes "gaugma," whioh meana "foreign borae," nnd sometimes "fel cbai" "fly¬ ing machine." Tbey also call it "tzu tzun," "carriage that goes without horse." Bnt tho palm must be given to tbe Flemish. In addition to tho appella- tlona "anelwiel."

The Frait of the Vine.
To see a vine in time of fruitage, witb itfl purple cloatera ripening in the glow¬ ing ann, ila aoft leaves rippling with gladness aa they pcint to the luacioua grapeti and invite the biids to tbeir dainty feaat, who would dream to what neea thia exquiaite gifts cf Gxi could be put by His human children? There is an Arabic legend whicb is tranalated by t>. Z. Noorian aa followa:
VVhen Adam firat plantetl the vine Satan came and killed a peacock over it, and tbe vine drank ita blood. Wben the vine grew and pnt forth ita leaves Satan came again and kille<l an ape over it, and the vine drank ofthe blood of tbe ape alao. When grapes firat formed on the vine lie killed a lion over it, and the vine drank up the blootl ofthe lion. When the fruit waa fully ripe Satan came again once more and killed a pig over it and the vine drank up that blood also.
Hence, he who drinks of tbe fmit of the fine imb:bea theae four qcuilitiee. When he firat taatea the wine, and it be¬ gins to cTawl in hia limbs, the color blooms in hia lace, and he becomea gay aa a peacock. Wben the firet signs of drunkenoese come opon him he plays, clapa his bande, and dances Mte an ape When tbe v. iue gruwa stronger within him he growa viclent like the lion and challenge!) everyone elae. At iaat be wallows like a piK in the mire, deairinz onlv to Bleep, and bia atrength ia gone. —The Well-Spriog.
