Forming the most concentrated, universal and
durable fertilizer ever offered TO the farmers
combining all the stimulating qualities of Pc
ruvian Guano, and the ever durable fertilizing
properties of Bones. Excelsior is in fine dry
powder, prepared expressly for drilling, and
can be applied in any quantity, however small,
per acre and it is the opinion Of many close
calculating Farmers, after FOURTEEN years
experience in testing it side by side with other
popular fertilizers, that an application of 100
pounds Of Excelsior is equal to from 200 to
300 pounds of any other fertilizer or guano
offered for sale, therefore is fully 100 to 200
per cent. cheaper.
ReA.. Look out for limitations and counter
feits. The popularity of Excelsior has in
duced INSCRIPTIONS parties in this and other
cities to copy our trade mark, and resort to
other dishonord6le means to sell their north

Old Memories,

Old memories rise up before you, the grim
spectres Of actions thoughts or words, long
buried in supposed oblivion. They may be
bright and joyful in their nature. but they may
also be fnll OF remorse and grief, but not as use
less as grievous. They may call to mind some
good and beloved departed friend; some ad-
venture full of peril, exposure and hardsh ip
come field of carnage, where many brave
comrade fell; some picket line where your mess
mate shed his life's blood upon his country's
altar. 1t may also be that the scenes of early
and innocent days may come up, and again probe
deep and mereilessly the tender heart at the
thought of what was lost by an imprudent act,
and at tue separation of loving and plighted
souls, and make the heart grow bitter at the
thought Of the eternal postponement Of hoped
for orconsummations and fulhlments of faithful
yet faithless promises. Which, dear reader in
''old memories" do you see most fr eqnently
Your memories are mirror in which your whole
life is pictured. II your thoughts OF the past
cause an involuntary shrug of your shoulders, a
chill to run through your frame a frown or scowl
to appear, unconsciously to yourself on your
brow, or your head to rec, we pity you, and sym
pathize with you in the hardships and grief you
have already endured in this " vale OF tears.
II on the contrary, your thoughts illuminate
your countenance, enlarge and soften your heart,
and raise yonr better and nobler nature we envy
you not your good lot but trust it may continue
with you to your end. Reader, conjnre up these
ghosts Of departed things, and look into your
past in order to guide your bark the better in
the future,

The Norristown Herald has severe article on
the Delaware Legislature, some Of the state
ments in which are trse enough. while others
are triie Inaccurate. As it seems disposed to
put our solena down, however, ct heavy dis
count, we are iupelled TO speak of that admira-
BILE body, the eLegislsture Of Pennsylvania, whose
moral tone is robust, indeed Here, for instance,
has it Just passed stringent measure prohibiting
any minor from visiting place Of amusement OF
the ''varietynor concert saloon class. The lAw,we
are assured, was no hssty and ill-consdered enact
ment. 1t is meant to '.stick," The fact is that
the managers of the american" and "Grand
Central Variety theatres, in Philadelphia. in
the practice of an injudicious economy, had
called in all the dead-head season tickets issued
to the Legislators, and the latter were conse-
quently moved to violent spasm of virtue. II

Proposed Improvement of the Condition Of
Russian Working Men.

Proposed Improvement of the Condition Of
Russian WOrkins Men.
The Goloss announces that the Russian Gov
ernment has determined to adopt certain meas
ures for the improvement of the condition OF the
workmen employed in factories The number
of institutions of this kind now existing in Rus-
sia is about 90, 900, and that OF the workmen en-
ployed in them nearly 100000, besides num-
Der Of persons engagedin various occupations
connected with factory work who reside in the
manufacturing towns. It Appesrs from statistical
reports on the subject that from sixty to seven
ty per cent of these laborers suffer from various
maladies caused chiefly by their mode OF life
and the neglect of sanitary precautions in their
dwellings. The mortality among the working
Glasses is enormous; fifty-seven per cent. OF
their children die before they. are five years OF
age, and the average duration Of life is twenty
years.
The following according to the Goloss are the
principal measures which it is proposed to take
in order to remedy this state of things l. The
regulation of the hours Of labor with reference
to the age and sex of the persons employed. a
The imposition Of severe penalties for the en-
ployment of children below a certain age i'll fac
tories. These penalties would be imposed bott
on parents and employers g. The regulation OF
the amount of compensation payable by an en-
ployer for sickness or intirmity contracted by
persons in his service in consequence of the
work on which they are employed. A. The en-
fotcement OF sanitary arrangements in the con-
struction and maintenance of factories B. Care
full superintendent OF the schools and institu
tions founded for the benefit of the working
classes. 6. The appointment Of government in
spectors to see that the above measures art

A Singular Bequest-S75.aOO for Friendship
[From the PittshnrR Commerciall

One Of the most eccentric acts Of the late
James McCully, the millionaire, was the leaving
of a certificate or order upon his Administrator !
to pay to an old friend Mr.. Robert d. Clark deale
in boat stores, No, l34 Water-street, the sum Of
$75,000. 'as a token of friendship and good
will" These men had been intimate friends
for quarter of century, and Mr.. McCully al.
ways regarded it as pleasure to aid Mr. Clarl
in any wayEhe desired. In April last, it ia said
Mr. McCully presented Mr. Clark with the Ger
tiheate above referred to, which is signed with
ont a witness, and the only consideration men
tened is that of friendship and good will. After
the death Of Mr.. McCully, Mr. Clark placed the
certificate in the hands OF M W. Acheson, Esq
who has filed the claim against the estate. The
claim is certainly novel one, and ia probably
without aparallel in the history of bequests.
