va This is the best Reaper and Mower
extant, and combines in one machine fast
motion for moving, and slow motion for
reaping.
The Dropper self-Rake Reaping Attach
ment combines all the points of other Self

and extra machinery required BY them. 1t
is as light as the Mower and equally as
simple.

Cameron and Garrett.

A question has arisen at Washington be-
tween the two great railroad companies of
Maryland and Pennsylvania as to their access
to the capital. The subject was considered BY
the Congressional Committee on the District OF
Columbia, and before. that body appeared the
the great rivals, Mr.. John w. Garret and
Mr.. Thomas A. Scott Senator Simon Cam
eron attended as sort Of counsel for Scott,
and attempted to browbsat Mr.. Garrett dur
ing his examination by the committee. With
what success will appear from the following
report Of the proceedings. In the midst of
calm and business-liko statement of the claims
of the Baltimore Company weread;
Mr.. Cameron-You sent your locomotives
and cars to the Valley Of Virginia to prevent
carrying our troaps here.
Mr.. Garrett have heretofore, and on
marked occasions, corrected your misstatements
on this subject You must remember that the
President Of the Baltimore and Ohio Company
was fully indicated in discussion with your
self before the Secretary of the Treasury, now
Chief Justice Chase, and that the Governor Of
Ohio Governor Denuison,l not only distinctly
Endorsed, but approved aud expressed his APP
probation of our action in reference to the
transportation Of troops. In refence to our
locomotives and cars in Virginia, only such
were there as were in the regular course OF
business, and take leave to say that have
always been convinced that the engines and
cars Of the Baltimore and Ohio Company lost
and destroyed in Virginia were lost through
the inefficient management Of the War Depart
meut under your administration.
Mr. CamcrOn-Your Baltimore people burnt
our bridges on the Northern Central road.
Mr. Garrett-People in the vicinity Of your
road burnt your bridges. In reference to the
Sixth Massachusetts regiment, on. tho 10Th of
April, when all the officers Of your road aban-
doned their posts, those of the Baltimore and
Ohio Company performed thsr duty without
regard to peril. The President and officers Of
the company personally managed the trains,
and secured their safe and successful transport
tatiOn from our station to Washington.
Now, sir, this gentleman is a Senator In
the Senate he Eliminates his antagonisms to
tho Baltimore and Ohio company. and there
fore it is proper to take this opportunity to
present these facts. Tie Baltimore and Ohio
company asks justice nothing else; only the
liberty to serve the public on equal terms with
a rival road. viii not obtaining equality be
beneficial to the public ? Look at the open
ing of the Connellsyille road. A reduction of
twenty-eisht per cent in the cost Of freight
between Pittsburg and Baltimore was at once
secured. You will find, when thc Aletropoli-
tan road is completed similar results will fol-
low.

Notwithstanding the pro;racted spell o! dry
weather, which has nearly dried up the fO1n-
tains, and begotten serious apprehensions for
the summer months, it is universal remark
that the wheat never looked finer at this season
Of tho year. The grass, too, is beginning to
sprout beautifully, and the trees are budding,
in the most approved spring style, albeit the
weather is still quite cool. We had the
promise Of drenching rain on Sunday, but
were paid of with a slight shower; it had the
effect, however, of moistening the face of the
earth, to the great JOY Of " garden truck " and
cornplanters-in which latter employment our
farmers are now busily engaged.

Pension Bill in the House.

Mr. Willard, Of Vermont, reported from
The House Committee on Pensions, on Satur-
day, bill granting pensions to soldiers who
served co days in the war Of 1912, and to their
widows. The bill will place at least ten thou-
sand more pensioners on the rolls, exclusive
of the widows, which viii also measurably in
crease the number. The bill also differs from
the one it amends in that it does away with
all oatbs Of allegiance and proofof loyalty, and
to obtain the pension it is only necessary to
prove the service in The war Of 1912 for the
period Of sixty days. The bill was passed al
most without division.

Tho Disaster at Mt. vesuyius.

The eruption Of Mt VesuviUs, which hos
been in progress for several days, has assumed
a terrible violence, and intelligence is now
communicated by the cable that two hundred
persons, iuhsbiting the villages at its base,
have been buried by the lava. Thousands Of
others have fed in dismay to situations cf safe
ty. and the distress and excitement are intense.
The event recalls but few parallels in the his
tory Of Yesuvius. The first recorded eruption
Of tie famous volcano occurred in the year 70,
when Pompeii and Horculancum were destroy
ell. Then followed 4 long period of apparent
rest. In 1906 foods oflava were again belched
forth, and since that tmo about sixty eruptions
have occurred. The most conspicuous Of these
were in 1776, in 1894, when the town Of Tore
del Greece was destroyed in 1922, 10 1885, de-
stroying the village of Cercolo, and in 1858, 80
and 6l, when the cruptons were especially
marked for their terrible grandeur.

count the number of locomotives crossing Bal
timore street in that city during twelve hours
on last Saturday wasFor Hundred and Four
teen. Old citizens say that in 1874 only four
locomotives per day passed through the city.
This astonishing growth Of business on the
