PICKING UP GOLD IS LLNPs--The Nevada
papers tells of young man from the East
who was engaged several years ago in get
ting out ties for the Pacific railroad IN East
ern Wyoming. at point some distance from
the road. While thus employed he observed
lying around loose on the surface Jumps of
heavy yellow minerals. of which. however.
he took little notice. As Indians were pleu-
ty thereab uts, and he had a prejudice
against becoming artfcailly bald headed. he
left and made bis way to California. where
for the first time the unsophiStcated youth
found out what gold looked like in its origi-
nal state. and in certain nuggets that were
shown him recognized the same yellow sub~
stance had attracted his attention when he
was cutting ties. He at once set about rails
ing money to return to Wyoming. aud with
party OF twelve men. splendidly mounted
armed, and equipped. he recently left Ell,
IN search of the riches that he had uncunsri-
ously left behind him at the time of his fi.ht
from the Indians.

APTER Grants return to Washington
from his late trip to the west, whittier he
had gone to visit some of his neglected re-
lations who do not hold Office, he remained
IN that city just long enough, before taking
q "newsceparture," TO illuminate a high
sounding proclamation, dated October / 2,
addressed to the inhabitants of nine coun-
ties in South Carolina, commanding all
unla~ ~ful combinations therein within fye
days to disperse and retire peaceably to
their homes, under penalty, upon their
refusal SO to do, of suspension of the
writ of habras corpus within the limits of
said counties. Having issued this men
acing manifesto, he posted off to Boston
with three or four members of his cabinet
ostenslbly to be present at the LAYING of
the corner stone of the new Post office in
that modern Athens. From Boston he
continued his ~anderings to the State of
maine and was at Bangor on Tuesday, the
LIN instant, as was announced by the
telegraph. On that day, Grants fee
days OF grace. so magnanimously extend
ed by him TO the nine rebellious districts
In South Carolina, expired by their own
limitation. And now, on that same Tues
ddy, tho 18th, there was issued by the
same L > Grant his threatened procls-
nation, dated at Warrington. The, Grant,
being then in Bdngor,) susperding the
writ Of h"b-as corpus in the nine counties
named IN the first proclamation. Of
course Grant never saw the last procIa-
nation, for the simple reason that on the
day it bears date he was supremely happy
IN Bingor and was not at all solicitous
about what was transpiring in South Car
DINA, or in any other State. Grant. al
though not Ubiquitous, would seem from
this extraordinary feat to possess the
same wonderful powers attributed by an
Irish member Of Parliament in one of his
speeches, TO bird: ''Mr. Speaker" ex-
Claimed that disciple of his illns,rious
predecessor, Sir Boyle Roach, 81 cannot
be in aco pldces at once, like a bird"

WHEN the two Return Judges for the
Senatorial District composed af the coun =
Ties OF Cumberland and Franklin met at
Carlisle on last Tuesday week to add I'd
the vote cas-, for Senator, they refused to
sign the certificate of election in favor OF
Weakley, the Radical candidate. They
based their refusal, as we learn from their
proceedings, on the ground that open,
shameless and notorious fraud and cor
rupiion had been used to procure Weak
lev's election. Without now discussing
The legality Of their conduct, it is suffi-
cient TO say that it was simply and prac
ticaily commencing the poisoned chalace
OF radicallsm TO its own lips. John Co
vode furnished memorable precedent fnr
this proceeding when he seduced the radi
cal Return Judge from Indiana county
into refusal TO sign the certificate of
election to Congress in favor of Henry d.
Foster. Geary and the radical press of
the State endorsed the fraud and General
Foster was swindled out of his seat
Other similar instances could be mentions
ed, but it ia not necessary. Weakley's
case will now go before the Senate for in
vestigation, where, we .rust, II will under.
go a thorough and searching examination
If corruption was uaed, let the guilty par
ties be ascertained, and then let the severe
penalties of the law swiftly and surely

WE have received a communication
from Clcarield township, conceived in
very bad taste and written in a whil fw ind
of passion, in which the author assumes
that in an article in the last Freeman we
made an unwarranted attack on the demo
Gratis Of that and Allegheny townships.
Such 10 not the fact. We meant no at
tack, nor did we make any. We simply
complained of the great falling off between
the vote polled at the last election and the
vote three years ago. We based the lam
guage complained of on the authority OF
an intelligent citizen Of Cearfeld town~
ship. who stated to US that the same num-
Der Of democratic voters were there now
that voted in 1868. Our correspondent
says the number is far less, aud that the
decreased vote is accounted for in that
way. We cannot settle the question -
The head and front of our offending was
in merely stating what had been told to
US by one who ought to know. If be was
mistaken, who can justly censure usi

JUICE M'CUNN, of New York, before
whom George o. Evans was brought on
. writ of hnbeas corpus, discharged the
writ and delivered the prisoner into the
custody of the Harrisburg officer having
Gov. Geary's requisition. The officer
proceeded with Evans to Harrisburg and
in default of bail, be, (Evans) was COM
mitted to prison. The amount of bail
required on the charge of embezzlement
was S25 900 and on the writ of capias in
the hands of the sheriff of Dauphin coun-
ty, S400 600. When this p,r0gon of a
New York Judge disposed of the case, he
said, among other things which ought not
TO have been said, that he M 'Cunn) had
no doubt Of the acquittal of Evans by a
Pennsylvania jury. There could be no
sort Of doubt that such would be the
result, provided He Gum .oos the Jtsdg> be-
fore tchons Evdns ,cas to be trrd. Such is
fortunately not the case. John M'Cunn
is scurvy Judge, and in New York is
regarded as terrible judicial inflction.
His whole conduct in this Evans business
was unprecedented and extra Judicial, if
not corrupt. Evans will be tried in No
vsmber before Judge Pearson, an ADLER
and purer man than M'Cunn is reported
to be by those who know him best. The
trial of the case will be watched with
increased interest by the whole State.

THERE is now large pear>shaped spot on
that side of the sun that is turned toward
us. 1t is about 40 900 miles in diameter
which is equivalent to three quarters of a
minute OF arc; equal to the angle substend-
ed by inches at the distance of one
mile from the eye. 1t is a very good test of
the vision, through smoked glass, requiring
an eyesight of little more than the average
penetration to see it without a magnifier
The spot is little to the left, and about the
same distance below the apparent centre of
the solar disc.

Dreams.

DREAMS are to our waking thoughts
much like echoes to music; but their re-
verberations are so partial, so varied, so
complex, that it is almost in vain that we
seek among the notes of consciousness for
the echoes of the dream. If we could by
any means ascertain on what principle our
dreams for a given night are arranged, and
why one idea more than another furnishes
their cue, it would be comparatively easy
to follow out the chain of associations by
which they unIol themselves afterward,
and to note the singular ease and .delicacy
whereby subordinate topics, recently watt
ed across our minds, are seized and woven
into the network of the dream. But the
reason why from among the five thousand
thoughts of the day we revert at night
especially to thoughts number two, three,
four, five, instead of thoughts number two,
three, four, six, or any other in the list, is
obviously impossible to conjecture. We
can but observe that the echo of the one
note has been caught, and OF the others
lost, amid the obscure caverns ofthe mem
ory. Certain broad rules, however, may
be remarked as obtaining generally, as re-
CARDS the topics of dreams.
In the first place, if we have any present
considerable physical sensation or pain,
such as may be produced by wound, OF
fit of indigestion, or hunger, or an unac'
customed sound, we are pretty sure to
dream of it in preference to any subject OF
mental interest only. Again, if we have
merely slight sensation of uneasiness,
insufficient to cause dream, it will yet be
enough to color dream otherwise sug.
gested with disagreeable hue. Failing
to have dream suggested to it by present
physical sensation, the brain seems to re-
vert to the subjects of thoughts of the
previous day, or of some former period loi
life, and to take up one or other Of them

A Word to the Girls.

Girls, take good care of your health.
Don't think because you are perfectly well
now you can expose yourselves In every
way, and because it never did hurt you,
that it never will It is no light matter to
trifie with ones health, for it is too often
a blessing too little appreciated until lost.
know how you feel about such things,
for was once a thoughtless girl too; and
although had kind mother to give me
advice, which have often wished l had
taken, / thought then / knew best and
only found out my mistake when IS was
too late. How often do you do as didg
Change thick and heavy clothing for light
er, and heavy shoes for thin gaiters, to go
sleighing, or to some party or singing
school. Then have you not come chilled
through, and risen next morning with the
headache, swollen eyes, and generally
uncomfortable feeling? Don't do so, girls.
Don't follow fashions that will make you
sacrifice your health. If you do, you will
be old women at thirty, in spite of all the
embellishments you can give your faces;
for if your health is ruined, you will have
little pleasure in anything else.
I once knew young girl who was as
healthy and hearty as one usually sees,
who walked home from party In thin
shoes. through the dewey grass she
caught cOlu WHICH settiSo on AAoA -.
and in a short time carried her to her grave,
She is NOT the only one who has shortened
her life by her own carelessness. HOW
many we see who are killing themselves
by lscing. I think it is pitiful sight to
see an unnaturally slender waist, and eyes
projecting from the head from the COM
preston, while the victims of their own
foolishness are unable to eat one third as
much as they need, for fear their misery
will be more than they can bear. No SEN
sible girl will do this, and no one ever
would if she could only know the suffer-
ing she will have to endure in after years;
Take advice, then; dress so that you zee,
comfortable, no matter how others GO; ana
never expose yourself more than you can
help, and you will stand chance Oh ep1oy- Ho
