of its terms and language.

About forty years ago, a fathcrlcss
lad left the West Branch, a-foot, with
all his fortune in a bundle under his
arm, and stopped in Harrisburg with
out a dollar or a friend. That poor
boy-SINoy CAMEEoN-is NOW, by a
vote of more than two TO one, dcclar-
cd the choice for President, Of Dele
gates Of the majority party in State
Of three millions Of people. This,
even should the expression be not rat
iiied at Chicago, is proud position,
and we are told Gen. Cameron wcpt
with JOY upon learning the news that
lie had received this handsome major
ity Of the Delegates Of his native State
for that highest earthly station.

introduction TO our readers. lie has
always been right on the great ques-
tionS Of the day, and is an able, we'll
informed, fearless advocate of the
Truth. 1t will be Col. Curtin's du-
~, and his pride, to bear our banner
throughout the State, and TO defend
and commcndit TO all. lie, We doubt
not. will do it gallantly, and we'll
with will, and We trust with tri-
umph.
Union county was-for the first
time-dcnicd a voice in these pro-
ceedings. Lycoming had two Dele
gatcs-Union, none. But our staunch
and true party men should overlook
Gil personal and less important mat
tiers, and rally for the cause Of our
common country. The great princi-
pies of our party are for the general
good, and in it We merge all minor
considerations.

Over the sturry Way.


Gone in her childish purity,
Out from her golden day
Fading away in the light so sweet,
Where the silver stars and the sunbeams meet,
Over the silent way.
Over her bosom tenderly
The pearl-white hands are prest
The lashes lie on her cheeks so thin
Where the softest blush of the rose hath been,
Shutting the blue of her eye within
The pure lids closed in rest,
Over the sweet brow lovingly
Twneth her sunny hair;
She was so fragile that love sent down
From his heavenly gems-that soft bright crown
TO shade her brow with its waves so brown,
Light as the dmpling air.
Gone to sleep. with the tender smile
Frozc ON her slender lips
By the farewell kiss of her dewy breath
Cold in the clasp of the angel Death
Like the last fair bud of a fading wreath,
Whose bloom the white frost nips.
Robn-hushed in your downy bed
Over the swinging bOugh--
DO you miss her voice from your glad duet,
When the dew in the heart of the rose is set,
Till its velvet lips with the essence wet
In orient crimson glow?
Rosebud your shady leaf
Hid from the sunny day
Do you miss the glance of the eye 50 bright,
Whose blue was heaven in your tlmid sight?
1t is beaming now in the world of light,
Over the starry way
Hearts where tho daring's head hath
lain
Held by loves shining ray
Do you know that the touch of her gentle hand
Doth brighten the harp in the unknown land
Oh, she waits for us with the angel band
Over the starry way.

Gov. DowNEY AT SAN FRANcISco.-The anti
Bulkheaders of that city got up grand recep-
tion, illumination, pyrotechnc display, torch
light procession, gun-Gring and tar-barrel burning
on the night of May lst to indicate their appro-
val of his course in vetoing the great Bulkhead
bill. Such demonstrations are clever but
entirely out of place, and perhaps a very bad
precedent We doubt whether Gov. Downey is
any better satisfied that he did what he consid-
cred his duty in the exercise of the veto power.

WASH YoUR FRUTT TREEs.-The present is the
time to cleanse all the fruit-trees that are trou-
bled with the moss or with insects. The Farmer
recommends a good strong wash Of soap suds
and with swab of woolen rags to give the body
and large limbs of the trees II good washing
After this has been done the bark of the trees
will put on a bright yellow green look, changed
entirely in appearance to the eye, the general
health Of the tree being greatly improved Pot
ash, three pounds to barrel Of water, will alsc
make a good wash.

THE LILY AND THE BRoOK.-The lily bowed
her modest head and whispered to the brook
81 love thee much, thou laughing rill, sweet
songster of the nook" The brooklet ceased
awhile to play, as if in loves sweet trance and
tenderly looked up to greet the fairy child of
France flush diffused her pallid cheek, a
tear-drop dimm'd her eye-gentle motion stlr'd
her breast, the zephyrs moaned sigh. And
when the water danced along again in gladstone
play, the gem that told how pure her love- the
brooklet kissed away.

A Fmsr-RATE PUFF.-Some folks have notion
that whatever they send to a newspaper editor
should be pronounced firstrate, irrespective OF
quality. Recently dealer sent the editor of the
Du Quoine Journal, published in Illinois, we be-
lieve, a gallon of vile whisky, in regard to which
he wrote
WILL THIS PUFF DO?-The meanest cuss in
Ferry county-who has not the fear Of the Lord
in his hearts, that chap who sent us gallon
Of the nastest, drtest, hottest, d-dest rot.g gut
whisky ever manufactured, accompanied by the
following note
"P. Watkins-give this a good puff, and
oblige me very much"
A first-rate puff, indeed Why the whisky
tasted as if it had been compounded OF mnriatic,
sulphuric and nitric acid, and then boiled down
to something closely initiating the devils eye
water. Send us $40, and we will advise every
body to drink liquid thunder in preference to
your Internal whisky. That's all.

THE San Francisco Times abuses Mr., Buchanan
for nstructing Mr.. McLane to offer Mexico SlO,
200 for Lower California, and says this Is one
of the most corrupt propositions ever made by
authority Of this Government. The editor also
declares that Lower California " is vaueless in
any sense and " must soon become part of the
United States" anyway. That is to say, this
virtuous editor thinks it corrupt to offer payment
for Mexican territory, but right to take it without
paymentl But Lower California is valueless,
says this wise one Has he forgotten that Web
ster in 1916 pronounced Upper California a des-
ert and valueless also p Shasa C1urier.

THE LAW OF LIBEI4--In regard to the bill
introduced by Senator Wheeler, the Marposa
Gdzette remarks
1t is sweet arrangement as proposed. BY it
an editor may be accused OF libel, upon the
slightest mis- statement of personal character,
published through misnfOrmation. 1t would, II
the bill was law, hardly do to publish any record
of criminality, for fear that public statement
regarding such matter generally accredited
and believed, might be in Il measure incorrect !;
and turther-by such law Jack Powers could
take an editor from Shasta to San Diego because
said editor might have mentioned that Jack was
what he is and said editor would have TO prove,
upon Jacks own ground, that Jack was horse
thief and worse. Oregon editors would, if such
a law prevailed, all be in Jail, and not few IN
this State, for simply abusing one another.
