A Maiden XII a Panther.

On Thursday last party of young
women went out from Queens Run
to the mountain just back of the set
tlement, gathering huckleberries.
One of them, Jerusha Bryan, adj
vanced a little farther into the wood
than the others, when she was at
tackled by a huge panther. Her
companions hearing the brute scream
sought safety in flight, but Miss
Bryan, finding escape impossible, de-
termined to stand her ground, and
seizing huge pine knot, gave her
enemy battle. The contest was a
close one for a few minutes, but hu-
man courage, judgment and cool
ness soon triumphed oTer brute
strength, and the heroic woman soon
had the satisfaction of laying the
bloodthirsty monster dead at her
feet. Her garments were torn into
shreds, and her face and arms badly
scratched, but she walked home
with a firm step and the light Of tri-
umph in her eye, and was able to
give a good account OF herself. The
The dead panther was soon after
ward found by the people of Queens
Run, and proved on measurement
to be six feet and ten inches long.
Miss Bryan is the lion Tor Iioness
of the neighborhood, as she well de
serves to be. We doubt whether an
instance can be found on record of
more cool, heroic bravery and wise
discretion developed by any woman,
even in the most historic and peril
Gus days of Pennsylvania.
The financial editor of the Phila-
delphia Ledger has examined one of
the new trade dollars, clear and
bright Just as it came from the die at
the mint, and gives this opinion of it.;
We confess we do not see much to
admire in the matter of taste on the
date side. The full length figure, to
our view, is inartistic, and not sym
metrical with the face of the coin.
The eagle side is much better, being
! better covered, and the words "420
grains, 900 fine," is a piece of prac-
tical information, we believe, en-
tirely new to our coinage. As a
new coin it was in eager demand as
pocket-pieces and mementoes at 12O,

From Hearth and Home.
Little Dutch Gretchen.
by FANNIE HOWELL.

BY FANNIE HOWELL.
Little Dutch Gretchen came over the sea,
With an aunt in place of her mother;
"As like"-so little Dutch Gretchen told me
"As like as one pea to another"
Little Dutch Gretchen fell sick on the way,
A sailing upon the dark water;
The captain came down to the cabin each day,
And called her his patient Dutch daughter.
Little Dutch Gretchen took pretzels and beer,
Hoping she socn would be better:
And at last, when the end of the journey was near
Dutch Gretchen sent hOmeward letter
'1m better " Dutch Gretchen wrote on the first pag
"And my amt is as kind as my mother;
But never prison bird shut in a cage,
Longed more to give one for the other
There's look ana tone, and tenderer way,
And bosom more gentle to lie On;
And mother, love that will never grow gray,
And a heart that is blessed TO die on;
So, mother, I've said to the captain tonight,
To Bremen I'll sail back most gladly;
To tell you if changing ones mother is right,
'Tis thing that viii cheat child sadly"
And little Dutch Gretchen went home DER the sea
And gave back her aunt for her mother,
For they're not all the same, said Gretchen to me
Though like as one pea TO another"

Causes Of short sieht.

A recent paper by DR.. Liebriech
throws light upon the origin Of this
defect. He demonstrates that the
two evils Of permanent short sight
and curvature Of the spine, both so
much more frequent among the
educated than the uneducated class
es Of society, are developed by the
unnatural posture usually enforced
in schools. During childhood the
eye possesses great power Of accom-
modating itself to distance, and if
in reading and writing, the desks
are so arranged that the eye, instead
Of being twelve to fifteen inches dis
tance, is kept at seven or eight inch
es from the book or paper, the eye
adapts Itself to the near object, and
permanent short sight is the result.
Morever, as the predisposition to the
disease is hereditary, short sight is
constantly on the increase in highly
civilized countries.
The bad posture adopted at writ
ing desks is also the chief cause of
lateral curvature of the spine. In
extreme casses, says DR.. Liebreich,
the copy book is pushed forward, so
that its lower border is inclined at
an angle of forty-fiye degrees with
the edge Of the table. The head is
lowered, and so much twisted that
the left eye is only a few inches dis
tant from the book; left cheek al
most touches the left hand, or even
leans upon it; the ribs or the left
side are pressed against the edge Of
be desk, and the taller children slip
backward On the forms, so that only
the lower part of the thighs rest on
the nsrroW bench. In many schools
the pupils maintain this unnatural
position for several hours, daily, un-
I'll st last the muscles are overtired,
and permanent distortion of the
spine is the inevitable result.
To svoid these evils, desks should
be so constructed that when the
pupil is seated the shoulders should
be even, the spine straight, the head
balanced on the cop Of the spine, the
elbows on q level With each other,
and only the hands and part Of the
forearm resting on the desk. In or
der TO effect this, DR.. Liebreich rec
ommends a desk in which the angie
is twenty degrees, for writing, and
which by turning up a flap gives an
angle Of forty degrees, for support
ing book for reading. He strong
ly condems the absurd unanatomical
notion that straight spines can be
insured by making children sit up
straight without support for the
back, thus overfatiguing the muscles
and producing the very effect desired
to be avoided. He also deprecated
strongly the unnatural plan of max
ing girls lie on an inclined board or
on the floor, "a foolish torture which
misses its aim" A couch with an
angle Of forty-fve degrees, with
curves adapted to the eurvatures Of
the spine, is one best adapted to
girls with threatened spinal distor-
ton.

The Reply OF MIR. Groesbeck to the
New Departure Committee.


The following letter, dated at Gin
cinnati, July 25, and addressed tc
to Judge Collins, settles the ques-
tiOn of Mr.. Groesbeck's candidacy
on the Liberal" ticket:
My DEAR SIR: I feel very much
obliged to you and the gentlemen
who called to day for the honor YOU
propose to confer upon me, but 1
Wll not reconsider the answer then
made. I will not accept q nomina-
tlon for the Office of Governor.
" hlle this is so, I warmly sympa-
tnlZe In what you propose TO accom-
pllsh, and hope the time is near.
when present Democrats and former
Democrats and all dissatisfied Re.
publicans shall be cordially united
under single organization. I do
not think there is anything sacred
IN mere party organization. Thev
are only machinery, which should be
repaired when out of order, and re-
moved when too much worn. A
constitutional government is a more
sacred organization that that of a
political party; yet we do not hesi-
tate to pull down . constitution in
order to put new one. We have a
Convention at Columbus now, en-
gagged in that work. 1 give you the
letter to which you referred. 1t was
written to gentleman in New York
before your movement began, and
without reference to it. 1t was not
written for publication, and not ex-
actly as should written it with that
view, but you are at liberty to pub
lish it ifyou think it may contribute
in the leest degree to a closer and
firmer union of all who are opposed
to the present administration.
Very respectfully,
w. S. GRoEsBEcK.

Dear Sir: l feel it a duty owe you as well
as the afHicted, to acknowledge the wonderful
cure you have made in my case. The long
continued sore throat and bronchitis was q
source of great annoyance and alarm to me
for number Of years, but since you prescrib-
ed for me feel no trouble there, and have no
fear of a return of the complaint. The dispo-
sition was strong to scrofula consumption
that, 1 think, entirely changed. Ny otheI
difHculties are entirely cured. Ifpeople only
would give your remedies fair trial, feel
confident you would benefit all you say you
can. Yours truly,

morning and entered. The entrance to the
cave was very low, and for some distance he

He followed one otthem for several hundred

in this way that il was very shallow. He
went back to the opening of the cave and
cut pole some 10 or Il feet in length, and
taking il TO the well he put one end of it
down, AID in that way climbed TO the bottom
