When the general appropriation bill of 1910
was under consideration in Committee of the
Whole of the House of Representatives the
Hon. Charles Ogle, then Wing Representa-
tive from Pennsylvania, objected to an item
of 5000 ''for alterations and repairs of the
President house and furniture, forpurchasing
trees, shrubs, and compost and for superhi-
tendence of the grounds, for the general
reason that the regal splendor sought to be
adopted at the White Hopse was inconsistent
. with the simplicity Of republican principles
He argued his objection at great length, going
into the miputife of Mr. Van Burens extraval
gances and displays. His remarks seem 50
apt at the present day that we cannot refrain
from quoting from them. s5es,sr. a1

is undertaken, let active men take

The Chicken Disease.

We have complaints from vari-
Gus sections in eastern Pennsylva.
MIA of the prevalence Of a disease
among fowls of a very fatal charac-
ter. Some people call it "chicken
cholera" some pleuro pneumonia,
and others ''liver complaint" 1t
is not confined to chickens, but at
tacks turkeys, ducks, &C., as well.
From all that appears to be known
of it, the liver seems to be effected,
and though the disease proves fa-
talin from "a to As hour5,a remedy
has been found for it, which must Of
course be administered in time. 1t
is "blue pill" known as such to
apothecaries Give each chicken
as soon as seized with the disease a
two grain blue pill, and if not out
of danger by the following morn
ing anotber-two pills almost uni
versally effecting a cure! This is
an easy and cheap remedy.
We have heard Of farmers in ad-
joining counties losing as many as
from fifty to one hundred turkeys
within two days, and very few es-
capped some loss, except those who
provided for their fowls dry, lean
ly houses, pure water, gravel, a lit
tie lime, old mortar or pulyelised
oyster shells, corn meal mush, snd
once a week a little chopped fresh
meat. Those who thus provide for
their feathered progeny are never
visited with liver complain, roup,
pipe, &c, and it is just as well that
this should be remembered.
A farmer from Bucks county,
who did not suffer in this way, in
lnswering a question, said that he
had no doubt that unscrupulous
were offering some Of this
diseased poultry for sale, and it be-
loved all to be cautious in making
heir purchases. Diseased poultry

olor and want Of plumpness and

Why Father Hyaclnthe Came
-. Here. ------

During the summer of 1857, a
Boston gentleman, together with
his wife and widowed sister were
in Paris. Of course they, among
the other wonders of the French
capital, went to hear Pere Hya.
cintlte The widow, who is young,
has but one child, and is quite
wealthy, fell in love with the Pere.
Finally meetings were brought
about, at which she expressed so
much joy, that the feeling became
mutual Although the Carmelite
had begun to express himself freely
in public regarding religious mat
ters, he did not go far enough to
suit his female adorer, who had
more extended views, both reli-
gious and political, regarding mat,
ters in monarchial country, where
Church and State are closely allied.
Under the tutelage of the Boston
lady the priest became more
outspoken in his views, and finally
events eliminated in his retirement
ftom his monastic orders and it
was supposed he had gone to Pas
sy to keep quiet 1t was not known
for some time in France that he
had gone to America; but he, as
every body now knows, came here,
and after remaining in this city
some weeks, so as to get rid Of all
taint of suspicion, went to Boston,
where he met the lady who had
drawn him ither.-It is with the
of settling private affairs
in France that he returned; but be-
fore long, as has been binted, he
will return to America and proba-
bly, remain here, and marry the la
ly who has drawn him away from
and mother church.

He knows all about your family lars
And just how your business stands
Knows how much money you have in stock
And how much you have on hand.
No fraud is detected, or building burned,
Though the sinners were never so sly,
But somebody knows all about 1t Vt once
just how it was done and why.

No cOurtship was ever attempted in town,
Though the parties were painfully shy,
But Somebody knew it as soon as themselVE,
And watched them with yigiiant eye

And brews all the mischief that's made;
We should be happier far know,

- The highest use Of all learn
ing is to fill the pupil with deep

more perfect consecration to the

the highest faculty, and its highest

Canal Through the Isthgnus Of
Darien.


There are probably few thinking
men who do not foresee that, soon
er or later, a ship canal must con
meet the Atlantic and Pacific wa
ters. Which Of the routes hitherto
surveyed and discussed will be ul
timately selected as most favorable
to success in a work of this kind
time will show; but at present there
is really too little knowledge OF pos
sible routes to form correct and
final judgment. An error in choice,
easily avoided by proper explor-
alton at the outset, may involve
unnecessary and enormous expense
in construction.
Three routes have been much
mooted, and our general knowl-
edge Of them obtained by former
surveys is enough to give a toler-
able idea of their feasibility, The
Panama route involves only TWEEN
ty-eight miles Of construction, but
there are difficulties which, although
not insurmountable, are Of great
magnitude. The Nicaragua route
ViG the river San Juan and Lake
Nicaragua involves only sixteen
miles of construction, but it in
wolves the Improvement of the
river navigation, and, without
doubt, also that of the lake. The
third route discussed, called the
Tehuantepec route, is one hundred
and thirty miles in length, and
there is probably less accurate
knowledge in regard to it than
either OF the others. th
The matter standing thus the
Government has acted wisely in
dispatching a steamer to Aspin-
wall to make surveys and gain
further light.
Meanwhile, and in anticipation
of the presentation of the subject
to Congress for definite action, the
press, which viii undoubtedly al
most unanimously favor the prof
ect, can do much to create a popu-
lar opinion in its favor,
That the immediate construction |
Of such a canal would result in
great and lasting benefit to the
commerce Of the United States
seems to us as scarcely admitting
Of dispute. The most casual in-
spection of the map Of the world
will show that many Of the richest
and most productive portions of
ihe globe would be brought so
lear to our Atlantic ports that no
nation would be able to successful
y compete with US in securing their
iraffic The East Indies, China,
Japan, and the whole Pacific coast
If South America, would naturally
)our their vast products into our
warehouses; and freight our mer-
liant vessels with profitable car
,oes. And last, but not least, the
dangerous passage of Cape Horn,
the dread of navigators,
nd the scene of untold disasters,
you'll be abandoned forever as an
venue of commerce. - Scientific
