The Lock Haven Democrat announces
the following programme for the fall cleo
tions:
"Tn those districts where the strength
of the administration is sufficient to de-
mand it. undoubtedly Johnson candidates
for Congress and the State Legislature
NAV be run who will receive the support
of democrats In other districts where
the Republican majority can be overcome
by the adhesion of Johnson men to the
democratic candidates, the friends of the
administration have no other course open
to them than either to support the nomi-
nees of the party with whom they sub
stantially agree in principle, or by the in-
PRODUCTION of third candidates into the
field to divert from the Republican force
what strength they can, and lay the found
alton for future operations"
This is precisely what has been going
on in this district; and to show how little
regard is paid to common honesty, truth
and self-respect, we state the fact that
sundry JOhnsOnites who are now election
eering for an independent candidate for
the legislature, attended the republican
delegate election, and in answer to the
question whether they would support the
nominees said they would, on which their
votes We're taken! When such unblush-
ing and barefaced depravity is exhibited,
what confidence can any democrat or
copperhead place III them, or what securi-
ty will they have that they will not also
be cheated in the end?

z. s. Grant, General, Washington, D. c.:
The more information | obtain of the
affair of the Both, in this city, the more
revolving it becomes. 1t was not riot: it
was an absolute massacre by the police,
which was not eXcelled in murderOus
cruelty by that Of Fort Pillow. 1t was a
murder which the Mayor and police OF
the city perpetrated without the shadow
of necessity. Furthermore, | believe it
was premeditated, and every indication
points to this. I recommend the remov-
ing of this bad man. | believe it would
be hailed with the sincerest qualification
by twO-thirds of the population of the
city. There has been a feeling of insecu-
rty on the part of the people here, on ac-
count of this man, which is now so much
increased, that the safety of life and prop.

ties, but with the military.

With healing on my vicwlcss wings, with balm

I seek the home where lately they smiled sc
And find them weeping Der the clay where
have ceased to be.
They call me by the tender names familiar tc

Then turn with sckening hearts away, unthink-

From heavens cloudless realms I've come, a
mission to fulfill,
To shed the peace that God can give o'cr those
who mourn me still.
His altar stands,
With golden harps to tune His praise, and
palms within their hands;
Could ye but see our white array SO free from
spot or sain
Ye would not call your loved one back 10 weep
on earth again.
Gould ye but know what arms enfold your lit
tie darling now,
Could ye but see the crown of light that spark
les on her brow,
Could ye bat feel he rapture pure that wakes
her angel strain;
Yc would not surely call her back on earth to
sigh again.
Could We recline within the shades of our sweet
Eden bowers,
And see my infant playmates wrcathc their lit
tie brows with flowers,
Could ye but know how free we are from sick

All! mid the fight of weary years oft to

To shed the rays of heavenly hope around my

I'll watch my parents couch beside, I'll be with
them in prayer,
Then bear their wishes up to heaven, and plead
their wishes there
And when the cord of life is rent that separates

When death his signct-seal hath set upon each

My harp shall be the first to hymn their welcome
TO the skies,
My form shall he the first to meet their rapture.

Farewell farewell! my missions done, have

MISCELLANY.
An Adventure in the Great
Pyramid.

The state of Coleridge's mind when he
wrote his fragments of Kubla Kahn must
have nearly resembled that of any reason
ably excitable person during first visit
TO Cairo. Just a degree too vivid to be
natural dream many degrees too beau
tiiul and wonderful to be an ordinary day
light vision, the rich dim courts, the glor-
ious mosques, the marble fountains, the
showers Of southern sunlight poured on
stately palm tree and slowly-moying cam
ell, and shifting many hued crowd, all
form together scene such as no stage in
the world may parallel for strangcncss and
splendor. One day spent in roaming aim
lessly through the bazaars, and the gar
dens, and the mosques Of Iassan and the
Cana Tayloon, does more to reveal to us
what Eastern life means-what is the
background of each great Eastern story,
the indescribable atmosphere which per-
vades all Eastern literature-than could
be gained by years of study.
AT least, can speak from experience
that it was such a revelation to me, and
one So immeasurably delightful that, hav.
ing performed the long journey to Egypt
mainly with the thought of the attractions
of the ruins of Thebes and Memphis,
karnak and Phll@. l waited patiently a
fortnight within sight of the Pyramids
without attempting to visit them, satisfied
with the endless interest of the living
town. at last the day came when the
curiosity OF some quarter of a century
(since that epoch in child's life, the
reading of Belzoni) could no longer be
deferred. had concern, as good fulks
say, to visit Cheops that particular morn
ing, and to Cheops | went, mounted on
the inevitable donkey, and accompanied
by choice specimen of that genus of
scamp, the Cairene donkey-boy. Unluck-
lily had overnight ordered my dragoman
to wait in Cairo for certain expected
mails, and bring them to me in Old Cairo
whenever they might arrive; and of
course the order involved my loss of his
services for the entire day, spent by him,
no doubt, with my letters in his pocket,
at coffee e'shop, Thus it happened that
my h',ie eAPeul'ion wanted all guidance
or assistance, such acquaintance as
possessed in Cairo being otherwise pccu.
pied on that particular morning, and not
even knowing Of my intention.
Arrived at the ferry of the Nile, Just
above the Isle of Rhoda, it was with con-
siderable satisfaction that found party
of English ladies and gentlemen also pro-
ceedng to the Pyramids. Their time,
however, was limited by the departure Of
the Overland Mail that day, and of course
they could make no dolay-as they SEEM
ed kindly disposed TO do--to keep up
with me and my wrctched donkey, or
rather donkey-boy.

this trying world, it is assnredly that of

emerged safe and sane out OF the Great
Pyramid! Dante, ascending out of the
Inferno, "a rivcder lie stelle,' could not
have been half SO thankful. Away l
rode, home to Old Cairo on my donkey,
and could spare real laugh Under the
sunshine, when found that the wretched
old Arab Scheik, with whom had left
my riding skirt had quietly devoured my
intended luncheon of dates, and then care
fully replaced the stones in my pocket
