Chocolate and H.roma,

Broma an admirable preparation, alike agreea-
BILE to the well or sick, has acquired a reputation
which We think il certainly deserves. A few years
since great manufacturer of broma (Mr. Baker
Of Dorchester, Massachusetts, sought the opin-
ion of many medical gentlemen of distinction, for
the purpose Of having an unobjectonable food for
inyalids, and he was assured that he had fully sue
ceeded Hospitals, infirmares. and households
generally should always be provided with it
When Cruel, arrowroot. groats, barley starch. rice,
farina and many other things ordinarily resorted
for patients are ofno utility the broma is sometimes
relished- 1t is believed that those who use it as
daily beverage will have manifest detectic advan-
tages over the consumers Of tea and coffee. We
see it stated that during the last summer those in
dviduals who were habualy using chocolate or
broma neither had attacks of cholera or dysenterc
Affections while others in the same families taking
their daily potatons Of tea, coffee, or simple cold
water, were the sufferers if any. We cannot
vouch for the truth of this. but has recalled to
mind the statement that the oil dealers in London
have been free from cholera or the choeroid symp-
toms; and it has been further observed here Gin
Boston, that persons who were taking cod-liver
oil for chronic difficulties, during the prevalence
OF the late epidemic, were not affected by it.
Vegetable oil in the first instance, and animal oil
in the last, taken internally would appear by these
statements TO have secured those who took them
from the shafts Of the pestilence 1t is certainly
a point we'll worth while to determine whether the
drinkers have been secure in other in
fected cities Boston Medical Journal. ~

a Ioread the Locofoco papers, remarks the Shin.
pensburg News, one would think that in Amer.
can labor there was something wrong, and that i,
was crime rather than patriotism to try to make
the IRON we ride over, or daily use, or the cloths
that keep US warm. The men who embark their
hard earned money in mills are denounced as
monopolsts, or robbers, and every effort is made
TO make them odious and unpopular. To be an
American manufacturer is to be, in I.ocofoco mar
lance, plunderer, thief of other peoples labor
Through all the veins of these prints, there runs
a bitter hostility to American Labor, American
work and Work Men, or the employment of Amer
lean capital in such works, or for such workmeni
This ever prominent hostility of such persons
to American Labor, and to the employment of
American Capital, constantly reminds US of the
early. and later colonial history Of this country,
when British Governors and English Presses man.
ifesed the same sort of hostility The great srug-
gle of the British Governors was to prevent the
American Colonies from making even a hob nail,
much more yard of cloth and there was bitter
bewailment sent to England when we succeeded
In making homespun, and so saved the necessity
OF buying it from England.
We never can help thinking, in this business of
American Labor that there is Foreign Party in
'hls country, and Home Party. To define
which Is which, might be severe-but any body
can guess.

Another Mail Robbery.

On Friday evening, WILLIAM S. Hunt, Post
master al Erwnna, in this county, was brought to
our Jail, on charge of robbng the mail The
circumstances of his arrest are as follows For
some time, complaints have been made of letters
containing money sent on the river line between
Philadelphia and Easton, never reaching, their
destination and MIR. Ottinger, the Post Office agent
was set to work to find out where the fault was.
Accordingly, he placed in the mail letter con
tanning large amount of counterfeit bills, gen.
uine three dollar bill and half dollar, addressed
10 Mauch Chunk; and watched its progress. 1t
was traced TO the Ewinna Post Office, (but went
no farther.) on Thursday evening Mr. O. went
on to Easton, satisfied his mind where the letter
had stopped and procured three warrants for Mr.
Hunt, prepared to take him. upon separate char
ges, according TO the disposition he had made of
the letter Accompanied by an officer from Eas.
ton, he came down to Nockamixon, procured the
services of Constable Appleback, of that township,
and proceeded to the house of Mr.. Hunt When
they made known their errand, Mr. Hunt stoutly
denied the charge, and said they accused him
wrongfully. The Agent proposed to take him into
room and search him, to which he assented-
As they passed through one room to reach anoth-
er, Constable Appleback who was behind, OBJ
served Mr.. Hunt throw aside his pocket book and
picking it up, found all the money deposited by
the Agent in the letter, except the half dollar Mr..
Hunt then confessed that he had taken the letter,
and had paid out the half dollar in change at his
tavern bar-but he denied positively having ever
taken anything from the mail before He was
promptly conveyed to prison, where he will have
to remain until trial unless he can procure bail in
the sum Of SO 900. e.eeB ae.t
Mr. Hunt has heretofore born good character
for honesty as far as we have been informed ; and
has stood high among the democracy. He was a
candidate for the nomination for Sheriff in Is4s,
and again for County Commissioner in ls4g. and
if nominated for either would have been elected.
He has held commission of Postmaster for many

Wonders.

W hat dull, monoionous lives people must have
led In former ages, when there were only "seyen
wonders" in the world to be astonished at Now,
there is new wonder for almost every day in the
year, so that people hardly recover from one pleas

gives the following account of the latest marvel
OF experimental science :...N t@-
We were present few evenings ago at the
Coast Survey Astronomical Station, on Capitol
Hil which was put intelegra phic connection with
Cincinnati for the purpose of determining the lor-
gitude between the two places. The electrical
clocks in this city and Cincinnati having been in
troduced into the completed circuit, every beat at
Cincinnati recorded at almost the same instant
on Saxton's revolving cylinder in this city, and
every beat of the clock here was recorded in like
manner upon Mtchell's revolving plate at Cincin-
natl AT the moment a star passed the meridian
at Washington, by the touch of key the record
of the passage was made upon the disk at Cincin-
natl as well as upon the cylinder at the Washington
station. and the difference of The time of the two
clocks would of course indicate the difference of
longitude. The distance between the two cities, it
1t must be reccollected, is upward Of 500 miles );
this distance was annihilated and events happen
ing at the were instantly recorded by automat-
ic machinery at the other. The interchange of
star-signals was soon interrupted, however, by
the Intervention of a cloud at Cincinnati and the
remainder of the evening was occupied by the gen.
tleman present in philosophical discussion OH
the subject Of the velocity Of the transmission of
electricity. We were never more impressed with
the power Of the telegraph to anniha,e space. and
bring into instant mental communication indvid-
uals separated by hundreds of miles.

New Jersey Railroad.

Commodore STOCKTON has issued an appeal to
the people of New Jersey in relation to the join
companies of the Camden and Amboy Railroad
and the Delaware and Raritan Canal Company,
in which he states that he invested the whole of
his fortune. amounting to 100000, in these COM
panies, under the contract with the State of New
Jersey, and complains of the efforts to induce the
State to repudiate their contract.
This question has long been scource ofinierest
to the public, because of its involving the line of
travel and chief communication between the North
and South. The case stands now in this way
The State of New Jersey chartered the Railroad
and Canal Companies and contracted with them
that ifthey (ihe companies) would pay to the State
the interest on 5000, 900 worth of stock, and transit
duties on all passengers and freight, the State
would guaranty otbe company that no road should
ee made through il TO compete with their road Il
The Legislatures OF 1885, 1885, and 1897 reafirmed

Important Decision.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania made, few

der the new law for protecting the rights of mar
ried women |. The guardianship of females un-
der age is terminated by marriage, and the hus-
band before the of lS4s, relative to the rights
of married women. might call on the guardian to
settle his account, and pay him the balance but
that act has worked radical change in the con-
dition o.. married women 9. BY the act of l64s,
married woman must be considered as single, in
regard to any estate of Whatever name or sort
owned by her before marriage, or which shall ac
cure in her during marriage, in any way and the
husband is not entitled to the possession of his

The Election of speaker.

The Republic of Monday last. in referring 10 the
Intellectual efforts TO organise the House OF Rep
resentaives and the clearly demonstrated fact that
neither the Wing party, nor the opposition, as a
party, have majority in the popular branch of the
National Legislature, and that which ever party,
therefore, succeeds in elec,ng Speaker, cannot
claim such election party triumph gives
utterance to the following we'll conceived remarks
in which we fully coincide. We have heretofore,
says the Republic, expressed the opinion that
considering all the circumstances ofthe case, the
speakership might be yielded to the Wing party
without compromising the party iealiy of the OPP
position. No administration, ever before, upon
the meeting OF the first Congress after its installa-
tion, has found adverse majores in both branches.
II is clear that the measures or recommended
lions Of the government will derive no strength
from the party compos iiion of either House.
General Taylor viii! open communications with
the national legislature under less favorable cir
cums,ances than any Of his predecessors, let the
House OF Representatives be organized as tmay.
1t is therefore conceding little he popular win
which elevated him to the Presidency to select
presiding officer favorable to his administration,
especially as no other party, per Sc. has majority
of the House. In the predicament in which par
ties find themselves in that branch of the legisa-
ture, would ask fthere is any safer suggestion
10 follow than that which solves difficulty by
paving Difference TO the popular will, as evinced
in the selection Of chief magistrate The coun-
try certainly desires 10 give the President Of its
choice fair hearing. Ii is moi yielding much in
this direction TO elect speaker favorable to his
administration, however the House may not be
strictly so. The executive is prepared for any
alternative. We barely throw out the suggestions
for such consideration as those who are response
bic for the organization Of the House may choose
10 give them.
