LOCAL PRIDE.

Henry D. Foster is very anxious to poll a
large vote in his own immediate neighbor-
hood. His friends in Westmoreland urge it
on the people of that county to support Fos-
ter as consideration of local pride. They
claim that his nomination reflects credit on
them, and that the higher the vote they give
him the greater the honor conferred on the
country at large. These very same men for
get that l6 years ago Westmoreland had can
didate for Governor, who was not onlv credit
to the county, but an honor to this common
wealth. They forget that sixteen years since
the old whig party of this State inscribed the
name OF hero on their banners, and that this
identical Henry D. Foster traversed West
moreland county, assailng the reputation of
that war-worn veteran, pursueiDg him with
SANDER to the threshold of his home, and even
invading the sacred precincts of his domestic
privacy, in order to crafty his spleen against
an opposition candidate. Then Foster and
lis II friends had no local pride to maintain
Now they have become wonderfully impressed
with the dignity of their locality, and the i'm
maculate purity Of their candidate.
The Wing candidate for Governor in 1874,
was Gen. Joseph Markle. We all remember
the torrent of abuse which was poured on his
head by Henry D. Foster. And yet General
Markle had mortgaged his farm in 1872, in or
der to raise funds to recruit cavalry compa-
ny to serve during the war of that year. He
battles OF his country. He sacrificed his busi-
ness to meet the emergencies of the crisis,
ana devoted all his energies and skill to pre-
serve the national honor and maintain it's glo-
ry. In the reputation OF such man there was
indeed local pride, but it was forced to yield
to the political predudices of such men as
Henry D. Foster. Then Foster disavowed all
pride, surrendered his love of his country's
fame, and sacrificed his admiration for the
prowess and bravery of its defenders, to pref
udice as foul and as ever imbued demagogue
to the performance OF blackguard's work.
We ask the old friends of Gen. Joseph Mar
kle to remember there facts. We ask the sur
viving heroes of the war of 1872 to remember
that Henry D. Foster plumed his eloquence
In assailing one of the bravest in their ranks,
and that he now shrnks from the same ordeal
through which be forced soldier to pass, and
which he himself conducted with SANDER and
His excuse and claim now are
as impertinent as his conduct then VAS low
and cowardly.

JUDGE TANEY ON SLAVERY IN 1918.

at camp meeting held in Washington
| county, Maryland, in August, 1918, Rev. Jacob
| Gruber, Methodist minister, preached re-
| markable sermon, exposing the evils of slave
ry. For this he was tried on the charge of in
citing insurrection and acquitted. Mr.. Taney,
now Chief Justice of the United States Su-
preme Court, was attorney for Mr.. Gruber, and
| in the course of his speech said:
s'There is no law that forbids us to speak of
slavery as we think oft. Any man has right
to publish his opinion on that subject whenev-
er he pleases. 1t is subject Of national con-
cern, and may at all times be freely discussed.
Mr.. Gruber did quote the language of our great
act OF national independence, and insisted on
the principles contained in that venerated in
strument. He did rebuke those masters who,
In the exercise OF power. are deaf to the calls
OF humanity; and he warned them of the evils
they might bring upon themselves. He did
speak with adherence of those reptiles who
live by trading in human flesh, aud enrich
themselves by tearing the husband from the
wife, the infant from the bosom of the mother );
and this, am instructed, was the head and
front of his offending. Shall l content myself
with saying that he had right to this? There
is no law to punish him So far iShe from
being the object of punishment in any form Of
proceeding, that we are prepared to maintain
the same principles, and to use, if necessary,
the same language here, in the temple of JUS
tice, and in the presence of those who are the
ministers OF the law. a harQ necessity, IN
deed, compels US to endure the evil of slavery
for time. 1t was imposed upon US by anoth-
er nation, while we were yet IN a state of CO.
lonial vassalage. 1t cannot be easily or sud-
denly removed. Yet, while it continues, it is
blot upon our national character, and every
real lover of freedom confidently hopes that it
will be effectually, though it must be gradual
ly, wiped away, and earnestly looks for the
means by which this necessary object may be
best attained. And until it shall be accom-
plished, until the time shall come when we can
point without blush to the language held in
the Declaration of Independence, every friend
of humanity will seek to tighten the CALLING
chain of slavery, and better, to the utmost of
his power, the wretched condition of the slave.
Such was Mr.. Gruber's object in that part of
his sermon of which l am now speaking.
Those who have complained of him and re-
preached him will not find it easy to answer
him, unless complaints, reproaches and perse-
cution shall be considered an answer.'
Such was the language used in 1918 by Roger
B. Taney, upon whose decisions, as Chief JUS
tice of the q. S. Supreme Court, the Demo-
cratic leaders rely to establish the dogma that
the Constitution, Of its own force, carries sla-
very into the Territories. Had a Republican
uttered the paragraph quoted, the Democratic
press would denounce him as an ssaboiition-
ist," an s'agitator," and sstraitor.''

ANOTHER OF THE woRLps HERors.

The Detroit Free Press, of the 1lth instant,
commenting on the Lady Elgin disaster, says,
s'We have glimpses of terrible panic among
the passengers, in midst of which everywhere
appears the self possessed commander, giving
| orders and overseeing such measures as were
most conducive to the general safety. The
cattle were driven overheard, and the freight
and luggage Immediately followed. Passen-
gers were awakened from their slumbers by
sturdy blows of the axe, which dashed in their
| stateroom doors, and called them TO a sense
of their danger. All were finally collected
| on deck, and when the steamer went down,
| the hurricane deck. which constitutes the
root of the upper cabin, foated clear Of the
hull and sustained the crowd. Mr.. Bellman
says that on this extempore raft not less than
three hundred persons were collected, the
majority OF whom clung to their places until
near daylight. The raft was mostly under wa
ter from the weight of its living burden, and
very few who clung to 1t but were above the
waist in the turbulent sea. The captain was
constantly on his feet encouraging the crowd,
and seems TO have been the only man who
dared to stir from the recumbent position that
was necessary to keep secure hold on the
precarious raft. He carried child, which he
found in the arms of exhausted and SUBJ
merged woman, to an elevated portion of the
raft, and left it in charge of q woman, when
it was soon lost. He constantly exhorted the
crowd to keep silent, and not only to make
K,
that the frail framework might last the longer.
Bellman says that during the time which e.
lapsed, while the raft kept together, there
was scarcely sound from man, woman or
child. They clung TO their places in silent
terror, and neither groans nor prayers were
audible; no voice, save that of the captain,
raised aloud in encouragement and good
cheer, being heard amid the roar of the wind
and the ceaseless splash of com bining waves.
Finally, the constant action of the water
broke up the raft, and large parties foated of
on detached pieces, and gradually the multi
tude melted away by couples and solitary in
dividuals. until but tithe of the whole num-
ber remained. The swell tumbled the light
RATS about like feather weights, and weary
struggle the hapless survivors had during the
long drift of ten miles intervening to the
shore. Bellman was ten hours his raft,
and says that he was capsized and thrown into
the sea with his two companions every third
minute. When they reached shore, they were
dashed about hopelessfy in The surf, and more
fortunate than their companions, were lifted
upon the beach by the breakers, and dragged
ashore by strong hands which awaited them.
1t was here that, having surmounted the perils
of that terrible voyage, the commander sue
cumbed and gave way to the irresistible force
which had wore out his strength and vigor-
Perhaps he had rather died than to have lived
in the exercise Of more selfish motives than
those which mark his character through the
whole of this trying ordeal.

OH WELLS IN THE EAST INDiEs.-The Rev.
Howard Malcolm, d. D., late President of the
University of Lewisburg, Pa, and formerly a
missionary to Burmah, in a recent communica-
tio1 states that the Burmese Retrotrician wells
are about two and half miles from the Irrawa-
dy, and about three hundred miles from its
mouth. There are four hundred of them in a
space of II square miles. They are two and
half feet in diametea and three hundred feet
deep and have been worked for ages, ,uithout
failing in amy respect. Each we'll yields abont
four hundred pounds of oil per day, besides
large quantities of water. The temperature of
the oil, as received in the buckets, is ninety
degrees. 1t has been shipped so largely to
England as to treble the price of it within a
few years.

AS DEAR TODAY AS EVER.

They say that all on earth must change,
As in the days of yore,-
That friends beloved grow cold and strange
And fond hearts meet no more.
If thus it is. one more fond kiss,
Before that hour may be,
Por dear to-day as ever
Is thy kind embrace to me.
Tne senes Of many days may fade,
Their forms may pass away,
But should the VOWS of friendship made
By thee sink to decayf
I ask, when lonely hours present
The past once dear to thee,
Thou would'st but give thy spirit vent
To rest one thought on me.
While ling'rinB thro' this weary life,
II thou should ct feel undone
Remember, In the worldly strife,
To love thee there IL one,
And If afar from friends to roam
Shonld be thy sad decree,
Think on the one whom thou didst love,
And then remember me.

Several recent archaeological discoveries
have been made, of more or less interest. In
Greece, the famous Temple of Ceres, at Eleu-
sis, has been completely unearthed, the costly
and laborious excavations having been carried
on at the expense of the French Government.
A number of articles historically connected
with the renowned fctes Eleusinian mysteries
have been brought to light. Among them
are the Propylen, mentioned by Cicero in his
letters-a magnificent statue of Antinous, the
favorte of the Emperor Adrian, which wants
only the left arm, and cubic alter stand
ing in its original place, and bearing on
its front the inscription AXAIOI. In France,
the systematic excavations which have been
in progress for some time past at Vienne, in
the Department of lsere, are still continued,
and are yielding to the museums of the En-
pire many specimens of ancient art, chiefly
of bronze and iron. At Toulon the remains of
Roman villa were found while digging the
foundation for new theatre, and at Neris-
leS-Pains, department of the Alter, three fine
carytides, representing Jupiter OLYMPUS, Juno
and an allegorical conception of Grief, have
been exhumed. In Great Britain, an extern
sive Roman station in the Parish of n orth
Wraxhall, Willis, have been completely exca-
waited at the expense of Lord Methuen. The
foundation walls of the entire building, con-
tanning sixteen rooms, courts, and passages,
were uncovered, together with portions of the
walls of several others, extending together
over area of two or three acres. At Wor-
cester and Wroxeter similar discoveries have
been lately made, and in all three instances
numerous objects of curiosity, snch as coins,
jars, tessellated pavements, and baths, were
found in connection with the ruins.
