PENNSYLVANIA INTERESTS.

The burly Senator from Allegheny,
whose strength, unlike that of Samson,
lies entirely in his boots, has given
vicious kick at the interests of Pennsyl-
vania, by introducing resolutions in
structing the railroad committee of the
Senate to pursue a line of policy which
would result in diverting to New York
and Baltimore large portion of the
trade that now finds its way to Phila-
delphia. Although our political Opin-
ions are in harmony with the great ma
jOrity of the citizens of the city of New
York, and in opposition to the majority
in Philadelphia, yet sPennsylvanians
we can have no sympathy with any
blow which may be aimed at the pros
perity of our own commercial metrop-
oils. 1t is not by assisting to build up
one great rival hundred miles east of
Philadelphia, and another a hundred
miles south of her, that we can best
promote the interestsof Pennsylvania.
Eighteen or twenty years ago there
seemed to be great danger that Penn
sylvania would soon dWindle from her
rank as the second Safe in the Union,
to that of the third orfOurth. Ohio ap-
peared to be oVerta<ing her rapidly,
and even far-distant Illinois was loom
ing up with alarming distinctness. The
construction of the Pennsylvania Rail
Road changed all this, by opening an
artery through whicn the trade of the
west has poured ever since in an un-
ceasing food into Ihiladell lia. The
increase of population IN that city and
in the coal region connected with it,
and along the line oi the Pennsylvania
Rail Road and its banches, alone has
saved this State frm falling behind
| Ohio.
The resolutions of Senator Big
ham are designed to encourage "the
construction of trough line on the
route indicated in tie contract between
the Atlantic and Great Western and the
Reading Railroad companies, " and also
"the extension OF the Connellsville
Railroad eastward in the direction OF
Baltimore and Washington" Both
of these projects an in the main emf

THE TRICHINA IN DETROET---THE
DANGERS OF EATING PORK.

One case Of theepidemic called Trich-
ina, which has recently excited so much
alarm in Berlin, Prussia, has appeared
in this city and proved fatal. The vic
tim was a young lady, a German, who
was taken i'll some time since, and call
ed DR.. Herman Keifer to attend her.
DR.. Keifer was at first unable to tell
the precise nature of the disease, but
finally became convinced that it was
of the same nature as the Trichina,
which has been known for some years,
in Germany, and which arises from the
eating of diseased pork. The Trichina
Spiralis is a small microscopic worm or
animalcule, which was first observed by
the distinguished anatomist, Richard
Owen, in 1885, and is fOundin the mus
cies and intestines of various animals,
especially pigs and rabbits in such E.
normousquantities thatinasingleounce
of pork, 100000 of these animalcul8
have been found. By partaking of the
meat infected by them they are trans
ferred TO the human body, causing in
tense suffering, followed in many cases
by painful death. DIR. Keifer did his
utmost to relieve the intense sufferings
of his patient, but his efforts to save
her life were Unavailing, and she died
about a week ago. After her death a
post mOrtem examination was held,
which has resulted in proving beyond
a doubt that the disease was Trichina.
A small portion of flesh, about the size
of pin-head, was examined through
the microscope, and found to contain
large numbers of animalcul@. wound
round and imbeddedin the fibres of the
muscle, exactly similar in appearance
etss tee 5fR9 Is 5R9 93SO SOEaGso taG or This this We se
that has ever been known in this coun.
try. DR.. keifer states that these ami.
malcul9 are not destroyed by smoking
or, as general thing, by frying pork,
but hard and long boiling is necessary
to effectually destroy them.

estate? By whose strong grip has the
dead corpse of Republic once fallen
ever been raised? The merciful Master
who walked upon the waters and bade
the winds be still, left no ordained apos-
ties with power to wrench apart the
jaws of national death and release the
victims of despotism. The wailof the
heart-broken over the dead, is not so
sad to me as the realization of this fact.
But all history, with loud, unbroken
voice, proclaims it, and the evidence
of what the past has been is conclusive
tony mind of what the future will be.
Wherever in the domain of human
conduct people once possessed of lib
erty, with allpower in their own hands,
have surrendered these great gifts OF
God at the command of the usurper,
they have never afterwards proven
themselves worthy to regain the for
feited Treasured. ". VoorheeS.

MORE NIGGERISM!
Passage of the ''Civii Rights Bill by tn,
Rump Senate.

The Rump Senate on the I'd inst,
passed the Civil Rights" bill, which
undertakes to n,alyy all State 6aacS in re-
tati0n to citizenship, and to make negroes
equal to the achites IN ciUH and political
rights IN ALL THE STATES OF THE T.
MON. The following are the main fea-
lures of the bill:
SEC. l. That all persons born in the
United States not subject to any foreign
power, excluding Indians not taxed,
are hereby declared to be citizens of
the United States, without any distinc-
ton of color, and there shall be no dis
elimination in civil rights or immuni-
ties among the inhabitants ofany State
or Territory of the United States, on
account of race, color or previous con-
ditiOn of slavery; but the inhabitants
of every race and color, without regard
to any previous condition of slavery or
involuntary servitude, except as a pun
ishment for crime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted, shall
have the same right to make and en-
force, contract, to sell, be parties and
give evidence to, inherit, purchase,
lease, sell, hold and convey real ana
persOnalproperty, and to full and equal
benefit of all laws and proceedings for
the security of persons and property,
and shall be subject to like punishment.

pains, or penalties on account of such
person having at any time been held in
condition of slavery or involuntary
servitude, except as punishment for
crime, whereofthe party shall have been
duly convicted, or by reason of his col

punishment of white persons, shall be
deemed guilty of misdemeanor, and

nently anti-Pennsylvanian, though un-
doubtedly calculated to benefit those
sections of the State through which
the road mentioned would run.
The COnnellsville Railroad ought to
be finished, but not so as to carry its
traffic to cities outside of this State. 1t
should be extended eastward through
Somerset, Bedford and Fulton counties
down to Chambersburg, where, con-
Meeting with the Cumberland Valley
Railroad, it would pour the trade of the
southwestern quarter of the State
through Harrisburg and Lancaster to
Philadelphia, instead of running it off
to Baltimore and Washington as con-
templated by Mr.. Bigham. The con-
structiOn of the Southern Pennsylva-
Mia Railroad would accomplish the OBJ
ject we have in view, and there is good
reason to believe that this road will be
made without unreasonable delay, if
the present Legislature throws no OBJ
stacle in its way.
The Atlantic and Great Western Com
pany is a foreign concern altogether.
Its capital comes from England and its
traffic is intended to go to New York.
Sir Morton PetO and other English
capitalists with handles to their names,
by which they are lifted above Ordina-
ry mortals, have furnished the money;
the shrewd and enterprising business
men of New York city have laid the
plan, and we in Pennsylvania are eX-
pected to furnish all the stupidity nee
esSary to enable this combination of
English capitalists and New York mer-
chants to drain our State from one end
of it to the other.
The through route which this cOmpa-
ny proposes t0Open is not needed. The
ground is very we'll occupied by the
Philadelphia and Erie Railroad and its
branches and connections. But these
carry their trade to Philadelphia and
set it down at tide water on the soil of
our own State, and hence they do not
subserve the purposes of those who
wish to make Pennsylvania tributary
to New York. We can lend our sup
port to no scheme that threatens to
cripple the trade and commerce of our
own cities. The interests of Philadel-
phia and of Pennsylvania are insepara-
bly, connected. Hand in hand they
walk together, and whoeverputs
bling block in the way of the one, puts
it also in the way of the other.-LGa-
easter L1teiligel1cer.

expelled. This satisfied Logan and his
followers, that Pennsylvania had moth
ing in common with the spirit of ag-
gression that had dealt so wantonly
with the unhappy chief. Bedford coun-
ty, therefore, escaped a scourge which,
perhaps, would have been more terri
BILE than even that which desOlated her
fair valleys in the days of the murder
Gus Shinghas; and the inhabitants were
not again seriously molested by the In
dians, until after the breaking out Of
the war for independence.

CALIFORNIA CURIOSITIES.

The two objects of natural scenery in
California most worthy of mention are
the big trees and the Yo Semitic Valley.
The route to the latter place took US
through Mariposa county, past the FIRE.
mont MaripoSa mines, where we re-
manned day, and to the immediate vi
cinity of the grove of big trees known
as the Mariposa Grove, but which in
reality are situated in Fresno county.
These trees are not on plain, in grove
by themselves, but upon high noun
tain, scattered about in the midst of
vast forest, apprOachable only on horse
back. Some of these rise to height of
nearly or quite three hundred and fifty
feet, and have diameter of over thirty;
with trunks SO broad that down one of
them which lies PROSTATE five women
can walk abreast; with such vitality
that the burning out of chambers in
them of sufficient size for tea party,
with two or three side rooms for f1irta-
tions, will not destroy them; and they
are so numerous that after going about
among them till the eye was weary with
trying to measure these monsters of
vegetation, many remained, some of
which seemed larger than any before.
In the Yo Semitic Valley, at one place
an almost perpendicular wall of rock
rises for thirty-seven hundred feet; at
another mountain rises mile high
