IL any one is debating about where to 60 this
summer, we would advise them to see the
"objects Of interest" in our own State fret, and
then think OF other pleasure tnps. We nave in
the old Keystone State some Of the most famous
watering and summer places for which our
country is noted. The scenery can scarcely De
equalled anywhere. Passing up the great Penn
sylvania Central Railroad, we should fret stop
AZ the beautiful town OF Columbia, on the Sus-
quehanna, from which place, after rest
that will be really recreative, we can essay
delightful excursions to the famous
Ephrata Mountain Springs, taking in the
Moravian settlement OF Litiz on the way.
Further west we fad Harrisburg, which
IS worthy OF visit from every Philadelphian.
We may take trip down the Cumberland
Valley Railroad, and see the mountains, wales,
and cities of that war-blasted, but now restored
region. The great battlefield of Gettysburg
may be visited, and many other spots now
rendered historic by the Rebellion. Returning
again 10 Harrisburg, one may make an excursion
TO Huntingdon, beautifully situated rural city,
and on the way the rugged mountains loom up
all around, whilst the picturesque Sasque-
hannah river is found ripping alongside OF the
railway continually. From Huntingdon the
pleasureseeker can take the Huntingdon and
BrOadtop Railway for the Broadtop mountains,
which rise up suddenly in boulder-like beauty on
all sides. This region is especially wild, and
while excellent living may be obtained at
cheap rate, the sportsman may seek and find rare
and profitable enjoyment.
lnvigorated by the pure and wholesome az
mosphere OF this region, we PASS on to Bloody
Run-a place that looks Just as bad as its name
and we move forward eight miles further to
Bedford, the railroad having been completed to
that place. Beyond this neat little city, scarcely
two miles, we are set down at the noted Bedford
Springs, the waters of which are The most re.
markable in the world for singular combina
tlons Of mineral substances. The great Blue
Spring is said to contain over one hundred diff
ierent substances, and although the liquid is un-
pleasant to the palate, it is invigorating to the
system to a greater degree than any other
mineral water. The scenery of this region is
very grand, and the hunting and fishing unsuT-
passed. Near by Indian mounds may be seen,
together with old British and American IN
trenchments, and the headquarters of one
Colonel WASHINGTON, who did good service ior
his country there many years ago.
We can retire in good order at any time to
Huntingdon, and proceed west to Cresson
Altoona, and other renowned summer resorts in
the Alleghenies, mere mention Of which is suffi-
eient here

Death Ofa Veteran Editor.

In the death of William Winston
Seaton, which occurred at Washing
ton on Saturday, American journalism
has lost one of its oldest representa-
tives. Mr.. Seaton was born in King
William county, Va, OH the 18th of
January, 1885, and had accordingly
passed his eighty-frst year. Ills dis
ease was cancer.
He entered upon his political and
editorial career at Richmond, before
he had reached his majority. Thence
he went to Petersburg, where he re-
mained only short time, removing to
Halifax, n. c., where he became as
sociated with Joseph Gales, in the
Register of that place. This connec-
tion proved so agreeable that the ties
of business were strengthened by those
of more intimate nature, and he mar
ried the daughter of Mr.. Gales.
In 1912 Mr.. Seaton and his brother
in-law, Joseph Gales, Jr., became part
ners in the publication of the National
Intelligencer, at Washington. For
forty-eight years, the paper remained
under their joint control, and during
the greater part of that long period
few journals had a more potent influ-
ence with large and respectable por-
tion of the community. The art of
reporting was not then understood as
well as it is now, and for fullness and
correctness the Congressional reports
of the Intelligencer were unrivaled.-
No telegraphic wires were In existence
to flash over the proceedings Of the
two Houses to more enterprising minds
in other cities hence the Intelligencer
was Indispensable to every man who
wished to read well prepared synopsis
of the Congressional debates, and able
editorial criticisms upon them. The
reports were made by Messrs. Gales
and Seaton in person.
A more unselfish association than
the partnership of the proprietors OF
the Intelligencer never existed, except
perhaps that of Damon and Pythias.
They kept no separate accounts, but
each shared the profits ofthe establish.
ment as he cho.e. This condition OF
affairs was only terminated by the
death of Mr.. Gales in 1860.
The extension of telegraphic facili,
ties, changes in public sentiment, and
the lax financial management of the
Intelligencer, rendered it during the
later years of Mr.. Seaton's life far less
a power than it had been, It's failure
TO take a bold stand on either side o.

Cure for HydrOphObia.

A new cure for hydrophobia has
been mentioned in England. An en-
inent physician refers to Youatt, who
told him that his remedy was to allow
the common nitrate of silver, easily
procurable, to filter into the wound ;
it decomposes the saliva, and in doing
this destroys the virus. He says that
the nitrate of silver chases the poison
into the very capillaries, and neutral
ICES it. The physician adds that "the
poison of hydrophobia remains latent
on an average six weeks; the part heals
over, but there is a pimple or wound,
more or less irritable; it then becomes
painful, and the germ, whatever it is,
is ripe for dissemination into the sys.
tenn, and then all hope is gone. New.
ertheless, between the time of the bite
and activity of the wound, previous tC
dissemination, the caustic or nitrate o.
silver is a sure preventive; after that
it is as useless an all other means. The
best mode of application of the nitrate
of silver is by introducing it solidlS
into the wound. 1t melts in an equa
quantityof water. If already healeC
the cicatrix should be rubbed and caus
ticated away entirely.

the leading questions of the day, failed
to conciliate either the friends or the
enemies of freedom. The Congress
ional subsidies which, on one pretext
or another, were contributed for its
relief, could not repair the damage of
long neglect Of the receipts and ex-
penditures.
Its veteran conductor was too far ad-
vanced in life to make the needed re-
forms, and his connection with the
paper soon became nominal, and lat
terly, If we are not mistaken, entirely
ceased.
Mr.. Seaton was born for the profess
sion which he adopted. Het loved 1t
and devoted his best energhR to Its
prosecution. He was, ho~9Vea3
twelve successive years, Mayor OF
Washington, his repeated reelection
indicating the popularity ofhis admin.
istratiOn. Socially, he was high
toned gentleman, beloved and re-
spected by all who knew him. The
revolution which the last five years
have brought about occurred during
his declining days. That he coulC
not fully sympathize with all that hai
occurred, was the natural result Of thu
conservatism of age. He was, how

Invention and Discovery.

-
IRoN.-The discovery of iron is said
to have been made in the year l406,
B. G. and articles of iron are continu-
ally mentioned in ancient history
Previous to the arrival of the Romans,
this metal was purchased by the Bri-
tons of the Phenicians; but the Ro-
mans soon after their landing, discov-
cred plenty of the ore, and established
factories for the fabrication of it in
weapons of war and implements of do
mestic use. Iron was first cast in Eng
land in 1544.
BRAss.-The use of brass is Of very
great antiquity. BY the early Greeks
it was made with an earthly substance,
an ore of zinc called Cadmia, from
Cadmus, who first taught the method
of impregnating copper with it. The
Romans for a long time held brass in
great esteem. The ancient Britons
we're acquainted from the remotest
periods with the use of brass, and had
even brass foundries established among
them, by which they minted money
and fabricated weapons of war. What
the anclents generally termed brass
was In reality bronze, a compound o.

copper and tin. In 1863, a patent was
granted by Queen Elizabeth for the
manufacturing of brass, properly 80
called, which is compound of copper
and zinc. H+ ~.
TIN.-This metal was employed as
an alloy to Others by the Egyptians and
Greeks. Great quantities Of tin were
exported from Cornwall by the Phoni-
clans 600 years B. c.; but, notwlth-
standing the existence Of an abun-
dance of tin ore in this country, our an
cestors had no knowledge of the meth
cd by which the metal could be OBJ
tained, and from time immemorial
supplied themselves with it from
Bohemia and Saxony. About the
year 1868, Yarranton undertook to go
over to SaXony to acquire knowledge
of the art, and few years afterwards
tin works were established in England,
where at this day the metal is found of
better quality than in any other coun-
try in Europe.
SToCKINGs.-The stockings worn
by the ancients consisted of strips OF
linen or the skins of animals. The
Normans wore them made of cloth or
costly stuff, embroidered and decorated
with gold and silver. Knit worsted
stockings were imported from Italy
in the time of Henry VIII. and were
worn by the gentry of that period; and
in 1880 pair of silk stockings wa;
sent to that monarch from Spain. In
the time of Queen Elizabeth, 1t wa!
common for young men of rank t
wear stockings of different fashion:
and different colors on each leg. II
1851, the first pair of stockings wert
knit in this country, and presented t.
the Queen; about the same period thu
method of knitting worsted stocking
was brought to this country. In tn,
year 1889, a machine for weaving
stockings was introduced by William
Lee, and this laid the foundation o
the extensive stocking manufactur
now carried on in England.

The Tides.

These phenomena have, I'm all ages,
excited curiosity, and in many instan-
ces they have produced wonder ut
their extraordinary height and fury.
1t is related of the soldiers of Alexan-
der the Great, who were natives Of the
Mediterranean shores, that when they
reached the confines of the Indian
Ocean, and saw its waters rolling up
to a great height, and then flowing
back, twice every day, they became
alarmed, and attributed the phenome-
ma to a special interposition of the
deities of the country which they had
invaded. Various remarkable theo-
ries have been advanced regarding the
tides. Many of these are so truly alb
surd that it is hardly worth while to
refer to them. Persons find it difficult
to understand why the tides are high
er at one time than another, and why
they rise to the height of sixty feet In
the Bay of Fundy; forty feet In the
ports of Bristol, England, and St. Malo,
France, and only rise to few feet in
height at New York and other places,
while they are scarcely perccptible i'll
the Baltic and other seas. Descartes
was the first philosopher who advanced
the theory that the tides were due to
the influence Of the moon, but Newton
was the first who worked out the prob
lem and discovered the true cause.
Descartes believed that the moon act
ed on the waters of the ocean by pres
sure; Newton demonstrated that il
acted on the ocean by attraction; that
instead Of pressing the waters it rolled
them up directly under it, and also at
its antipodes at the same time, thus
producing the two tides every day.
The tides are attractions of both the
sun and moon. If the earth had no
moon, the attraction of the sun would
produce two tides every day, but their
ebb and flow would take place at the
same hours, not varying as they do
now; these tides would also be much
smaller than those of the moon. AL
though the mass Of the sun is far
greater than that of the moon, and
though attraction is in proportion TO
the mass, yet it is also inversely MS the
square of the distance. AS the sun,
therefore, is four hundred times more
distant than the moon, the attraction
of the waters of the sea towards the
sun is found to be about three times
less than those of the moon. There
are really'SYo ocean tides, the lunar
and solar, but the latter is absorbed
by the former, which is wholly OBJ
servable in respect to the time, the So
lar only, as it influences the height of
the tidal wave. That caused by the
moon is three times greater than that
of the sun, and it follows the moons
motion around the earth, rising and
falling every twelve hours, and each
succeeding tide later by three-quarters
of an hour than the preceding one,
exactly in accordance with the posi-
tions OF the moon, or, as 1t is common
ly called, its rising and setting.
