romantic sublmity. Hence l will merely
alluds TO few Of the most prominent
places.
A person visiting these lovely lakes for
the first time is completely at fault what
to admire the most, for here we have
bright mountain streams pouring down
lovely glens and deep ravines, now leap-
ing from rock to rock and flashing like
silver in the broad sunlight, and anon
glitterius in the shade Of the dark foliage
till they are lost in the shining waters of
the broad lakes. A number of islets of
the most picturesque forms are scattered
over their surface, some of which are re-
dundant with vegetation, producing trees,
shrubbery and plants in the widest profu-
sion, amongst which are the Beautiful arr
butus with it's teapting berries and the
mountain ash with its scarlet clusters
glowing through the dark foliage of the
holly tree. Then again we have the
cloud>crowned peaks of the surrounding
mountains, piled up, like eternal barriers
of vast amphitbeatre, of which the
sparkling waters of the lakes form the
smooth and smiling arena. The eagles
Nest is stupendously grand. This is
rugged, cons-shaped mouRtain, nearly enc
thousand seven hundred feet in height,
thickly wooded at its base, but presenting
TO the eye, as it travels upwards, suc-
cession of broken crass thickIy covered
with trailing plants and fuwerin moses.
Amongst these inaccessible precipices the
eagle builds its eyrie.
Near the summit of the Mangertsn
mountain is the "Devil's Punch Bowl"
Ibe Bowl is a small lake about a
quarter of mile in diameter and is con-
tanned in the deep chasm Of the mountain
Hs waters, of inky blackness, are intense
ly cold, and yet they have never been
known TO freeze. This "Bowr' is be-
lieved to be almost unfathomable, and
those curious to find its lowest depth will
have TO visit the ''lower regions" where
it is said they will fad his Satanic Maies>
ty making cold punch at the bottom. Of
the almost countless other places of beauty,
romance and sylvan charms, all will say
is that it would require the poets pen or
painters pencil to do justice to q place
where prolific nature rerels +. her richest,
grandest and most sublime attire.
intended to make few remarks on
things in general and ''classic Kerry" in
particular, but l believe l have already
written enough. l am booked for hope
a safe voyage TO Nsw York in a huge
ship which l see lying at aachor out in
Queenstown harbor. In a few hours
expect to be on board, 30 will have to
close. My asxt will be from the Empire
City of America, where / intend spending
few days before start on my home

A MAN WHO BURIED EIGHT WIVES
The Limerick Irsland) General Advertiser
contains the following curious paragraph: ::
..Disd, last week, at the extraordinary age
OF 1l2 years, after two days illness, John
Leahy, an honest. faithful domestic in the
family of Curah for upwards of eighty years.
He commenced his servituds with the late
We're Hunt, Esq. as groom. in the year 1899;
remained with him until the latter's death,
since which period he has continued his SER
vice with Sir We're Hunt, Bart, until the last
ten years, when he retired. although in per-
feet health, to Cottage built for him within
the demssns. He was married to eight wives,
by seven of whom he had children the last
he married in his 106th year. He lived il.
the reign Of six mouarchs. and saw, as he
recorded before his death, five generations of
most of the families of the neighborhood, of
the vicissitudes of which honest John was
the stationary spectator for near century,
and before his death. (retaiping his senses
until the last'momsnt.) he declared that he
never suffered days illness nor an hours
pain. unless for the death of friend, or oc>
ca:ionally ior the loss of wife. His remains
were inferred in the church at Nantin on
Sunday last. attended by the whole neigh
borhood, by all of whom he was regarded
and regretted.

HIS Honor Jas Potts, President Judge
of the District Court of Cambria county.
is being very bitterly denounced by the
Johnstown papers of both parties for uni
ting with one Of the Associate judge.
(Flat;cry) in leasing ''Union Halr' for
the use of the court for ten years at An
An annual rent Of $500. 1t might be in>
tercstIng TO know by what authority, either
expressed or implied, these two judicial
lights undertook TO rent Union Hall for
county purposes, but we will not now dis
cuss the question, preferring TO leave The
belligerontssto fight out;their own battle on
the banks of The Stony Greek.

The Investigation thus far by the Me-
Clurs-Grsy Committee into the election
frauds prrpetrated in the Fourth Senatori-
al district, has disclosed a most unpsral>
leled and successful scheme of villainv.
The evideRce is of the most startling char
acter, and it is difficult to believe that such
things can be done in broad daylight, and
that toe by men who occupy prominent
positions in society. The unhalowed reg
is!ry law for the city of Philadelphia af>
fords n true key to the whole inGamy, and
that law the radical majority in the House
stubbornly refuses TO medify in the interS
ests Of justice and honest elections 1t is
no longer matter of doubt, that under
the operations of that law and the fraud
ulent practices sanctioned under it, Asa
Packer sad not John w Geary was fair>
ly and legally elected Governor two years
ago last October. Such has always been
claimed by the democratic press of that
city, and now no man who has reed the
testimony taken by this committee doubts
/ 1t for moment. If tho evidence vet 10
be heard on the part of Col. Mcclure is
of the same character as that which has
already been received, the fraudulent ma
jority of about 900 by which Gray was
declared elected will be completely wiped
out and the election of M'Clure by large
majority clearly and satisfactorily estab-
lished. This being done, the dark deeds
of the corrupt political rings in that city
will be thoroughly exposed and their re-
petition in the future in very great de-
gree prevented.

CHASED BY SAW LOG Chased by a
bear by a wolf: by an elephant by q sher-
iff; by a spook Yes. that has often oc~
Cured. but did you ever hear of being chased
by a saw-leg. as it chaneed to French Can
adian out in Curtis's woods last week 1t
happened.thus wise: They were cutting the
timber from the brow of hill in these fa-
nous woods. and rolling it to the bottom
where q steam saw>mill is to be erected
The Frsnchman was one Of the lum bernlen g.,
and was attempting to manipulate huge
log for a safe descent, when he discovered
that it was getting the better Of him. He
WAS on the under side and it would not do
10 ''let 1t Slide" so he screamed for help.
But no help came. His strength was surely
and rapidly failing, and there was nothing
to do but to run for it. and run he did-a
fearful race. the natural philosopher say
that log gains in rapidity as it dsscsnds
1t is otherwise with human legs Oh a run.
even when as IN this case tho descent is
steep and icy. There was no turning out,
and the log gained with terrible rapidity on
the frightened Cannuck, and was now just
en- his heels. when luckily he spisd hollow
in his path into which he popped with a
bound but had barely time to huddle him
self into his hole, when crash crash ! the
log thundered over him. and left him safe
but about the most badly scared man that
ever hollooed in Curtis woods, if his nerve,
are no stronger than ours claim to be. And
that is how a saw-log chased Frenchman.

a HcPEFUL MOVEMENT The agitation in
the Roman Catholic Church of this country
in favor of temperance is hopeful event.
No class of our population nsed restraint in
the matter of using spirituous liquors more
than that which is controlled by the Roman
Catholic priesthood. The influence of Faith
or Mathew in this country has been excellent
among his fellow countrymeR. whose Popu>
lar beverage. unlike that of the Germans is
one that sxcites to crimes of violence. The
only way to reach these people is through
the church. Even Father Mathew, though
he did not specially use the influence of the
priesthood, obtained his popularity in great
measure from the fact that he was in 'holy
orders" We cannot depend on seeing in
this century or in the next another psan who
can WELD such immsnse personal influence,
but if the leading prelatss of America will
combine their forces they can carry on the
good work which he left. Ths Bishop of
Savannah has issued a strong pastoral letter
on the subject. warmly approving the ssnti-
neDts of tbs Bishop of New York, who re-
Gently delivered an eloquent Temperance
lecture" The recent agitation IN the Cath
elc Convention in Maryland in favor of =
temperance organization shows that there is
some real strength in the present movement.

AN AMUSING IsCrp.xr 1HEU. s. Sen

AN AMUSING lSCIDBNr IN The u. S. SEN
ATE E-An amusing little incident occurred in
the Senate on F.iday morning. Mr.. Chandler
rose to a personal explanation, and. with
much e1pectoration. began to read q letter
from one of his constituents living In Jack
son, Mich. Mr.. Morton halfway across the
chamtsr, called, Louder" and Mr.. Chand-
Ter. his voice gradually gaining power, rsad
through the letter, from which it appeared
that the writer had received under the franks
ef Senators Chandler and Morton, copies of
the call of the Liberal Republican meeting
at Cincinnati, a speech of Gratz Brown, a
letter from Senator Schurz, &c. Both
Chandler and Mortin denounced the franks
as forgeries, the former using some very
strong language about the Cincinnati move
ment. and speaking of them in very intsun-
psrats tones. As soon as Chandler sat down
his face white with sxcitemsnt, Senator
Upton sprung up, and said that he had
been treated almost as badly. He had re-
csived back copy of one of Mr.. Chambers
speeches which he had cent to a man in Ne
brasks, with the inform alton that such coc>
umsnts were not wanted in that State. The
statement, OF course. drought down the
house." and even Mr.. Chandler was obliged
to admit the joke.

In Boone county, Kentucky, there is a
family whose singular manner of living, and
other psculiarities. excite general interest
The bead of the family is native of Scot
land, an educated man, well read. and Of
ino conversational powers. He does MOTH
ing for the support of his family. and. al
thongh they are in an almost starving con-
dition, is devoting his time to the study of
Greek language. While he is thus engaged
they are living in a miserable hut without
floor or windows, and with scarcely food
enough to keep them from starving. The
woman has neither education nor sense; in
fact, the only thing she has worth speaking
OF is fits. She gives the family what attsn-
tion it gets. and prepares the food sent them
by neighbors, while her husband is engaged
in his classical studies, or in prowling about
the neighbsrhood, reading essays to his ac-
quaintances. People suppose that he is
crazy. and in the spring an effort will be
made to provide in some way for him and
his helpless family.

A CURIOUS ADDREss.-The Legislature of
Minnesota visited the asylum for the dumb
at Fairbault recently, and received the fol~
lowing curious and rather ludicrous address:
For you are the men to furnish the means
to help the man that built the mill that
ground the feed that fed the horse that drew
the cart that dumped the dirt that Paddy
shoveled to build the road for palace cars to
60 upon. These are the men that make our
laws, and furnish the means to build a house
to cover our heads that warm our toes that
fill our mouths that give us food that feeds
the mind that makes US men and women
strong to lean upon we bid you welcome.
and for aye shall strive your kindness to
repay"

AN election will be held in New Hamp
shire on next Tuesday for Governor and
members of the Legislature. Both par
ties are exerting their utmost power to
secure victory, and although the paris
sans oi the administration have literally
fooded the State with money, there is a
strong hope that the people will be able
TO conquer. The contest will be close
one and the result about as uncertain as a
game of chess between two players of
equally balanced skiil and ingenuity.
