CONGRESS is still engaged on the tinan-
cial question, and the prospect of settle
ment of the question is apparently as re-
mote as ever. The difficulty arises from
difference of opinion on the policy Of con,
traction or expansion of the currency. The
Senate and the House differ with each 9TH
er, and the President differs with both.
Some members propose conference COM
mittee of the two Houses, fearing that the
time is too short for a new bill, but the
question arises would the bill be satisfacto'
ry to the President? Congress talks oi
adjourning on the 18th of June, but they
cannot return home and face their consti'
tuents without some act in regard to the
financial policy of the country.

working off 10000 copies in a day. The
cost of this press is from two to four thous-
and dollars, according to size. This is a
wonderful achievement for the colored race,
and success should be the award of this
poor black man for giving to the ''art pre-
servation of arts'' an invention of so much
Importance. 1t is a decided improvement
on the Bullock press, because Of its cheap
ness, and is superior to the Hoe, in all re-
spects.

PHILADELPHIA, Nay 10, 1874.
Having arrived safe in the city of Bro
therly Love yesterday, have not devoted
much time as yet in looking around. Thls
morning in speaking to several gentlemen
largely engaged in business, L found much
complaint on account of the scarcity In
money matters. There is no use denying
the fact that while the moneyed men insist
that there is sufficient currency in circula-
ton. business men and working classes
are suffering for the want of larger circu-
lation. Although business it is said, is be-
coming more prosperous daily, there would
be much larger expansion of trade ii more
money were in circulation.
The principal matter of interest going
on now to interest citizens of Northumber-
land county, is the annual meeting of the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows. have seen
but few representatives of the different
Lodges of Northumberland county. Only
some six or seven. / am inclined to be-
live that not all the lodges are represented.
There are now nearly or quite two thou
sand active members of the order in North
cumberland county, and for their benefit we
give the following proceedings of the ses-
sion thus far:
The Encampment branch of the order
met yesterday when the reports were read
The report of James B. Nicholson, Grand
Scribe, gives the following statistics of the

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLATURE.
The session of the Legislature of 1874,
was concluded on Friday last. 1t was for
many years rather 4 subject of rejoicing
among the people of Pennsylvania for the
Legislature to adjourn and 60 home, for ir
those days that very potent evil, specla!
legislation, was an ever present danger,
jeopardizing the best interests of the COM
munity. 1t was the fruitful sourc of cor.
ruption, and was SO demoralizing in its
tendencies as TO affect the mind and con.
science of every honorable man. 1t had
always, in and about Harrisburg, its army
of hired rctainers. lobbyists, who piled a
nefarious trade in votes, and poisoned the
very atmosphere of the Capitol. Its in
fuence was altogether bad, and when the
new Constitution swept it away the people
of this Commonwealth felt that a great and
imminent danger had been removed.
The Legislature Of 1874 was organized
under the provisions of the new Constitu.
tion, and it would be manifestly unjust no;
to say that in all things it highly resolved
to be governed in its proceedings not only
by the letter, but By the spirit Of the Con-
stitution. 1t was so governed, and the re.
suit is session in which few or no impro'
per laws were passed, and one in which
very many improper ones were defeated.
IN ba Ubola ipIoinu with Of ri
fairness, we can say, with every hope OF
being supported by the facts, that during
the last twenty-five years there has been
no other session Of the Legislature of this
Commonwealth SO worthy of the respect Of
its constituents as the session of 1874
The members worked faithfully to do theil
duty they examined into the character o.
the measures presented for their considera
ton, and, though in some cases they may
have, and no doubt did reject good bills
yet we are compelled to give them credit
for a very intelligent and honorable dis
charge Of their responsible duties.
There was one thing especially notice
dLlt III Will JllC SCSSlbH JUS
ended. That is to say, it was remarkable
for the absence of that spirit of rowdy ism
which characterized former sessions. The
members seemed to appreciate the dignity
of their position, and to demonstrate theil
fitness for it by the decorum of their man
ners and the quiet industry with which
they discharged the duties of legislation
There was displayed once again in the Capt.
tol at Harrisburg a good. healthy mora
tone, which reflected infinite credit upon
the members.
The laws they passed were exceedingly
few-not one-lifth part of the number o
las! year. They had time to consider the
character Of the measures laid before them
and the result is a few good laws passed
and many bad ones thrown aside.

ALARMING THE PEOPLE.
ColIines Graves, a milknan, who was at
the livery stable in Williamsburg when the
gate keeper, Cheney, was trying to get
some one to spread the news below, eX
claimed ''If the dam is breaking the folks
must know - and lashing his horse into
run, he dashed away toward Haydenville
shouting, The reservoir is right here run
It's all you can do - 1t was now 7.45 A.
NJ, and meanwhile Cheney had rung the
bell of the Congregational church to further
warn the village folk On went the horse
and driver, pealing the alarm, Graves
shouting all the way. He made directly
for the manufacturing establishments,
''for,'' said he, "the people in the streets
duu HOUSES COulu IlcdI ouG LHc IO'tI vi bilC
factories would drown any warning for the
operatives" Al Skinnersville the messen-
ger was five minutes ahead of the coming
torrent, but at Haydenville had but two
minutes in which to spread the alarm.
This famous ride of Collins Graves, which
saved many hundred lives, ended at the
hotel in Iaydenville. Horse and rider
were both exhausted, and another herald
took up the tidings. Graves could hear
the thunder Of the coming flood, but, not
fully appreciating its extent, he turnd to 90
back to Williamsburg. At the 'dugvay''
the disaster which he had predicted burst
upon his sight, and he had just time to
turn off on to a bank when it crashed past
him indeed, he was not twenty seconds
too soon. and as it was he had almost de.
SPARED of reaching place of safety, and
had soon thought Of abandoning his tired
horse to its fate.

out it--how, l cannot see. But did you
ever notice the wonderful capabilities of
povertyp The poor people who cannot
get ice, will discover that they can do with
out it, and live. They have been forced
to the discovery that they could do without
great many other things, which would
be essential if they had the wherewithal to
get them. But the doing without ice is
only small part of the trouble. The
butchers make ice, the reason for advanc
ing the price of meat, the brewers for put
ing up the price of beer, and so it will 90

should not be surprised if the street rail
roads would advance their fares on the
strength of this shortage.
REAL ESTATE.
There has been marked decline in real
estate in New York within the last year
a positive decline. A very few dwellings
and stores were rented this spring at the
old rates, but a great majority of landlords
were compelled to be content with reduc-
tion Of from 20 to 80 per cent. And con-
sequently the price, or rather value, of real
estate, has declined correspondingly. This
is not all together the effect of the panic,
though of course that had something to do
with it. But there are other causes more
potent than panics. The city is governed
by non-property- holders, who take great
pleasure in sweating property. The roughs
and bruisers, who are either in the Govern
ment personally or control those who are
in, look upon the taxpayers as their legiti-
mate game, and they make the most Of
them. The taxpayer is pOwerless, for the
roughs can and do elect not only the city
government, but, in the hands of the rings,
have controlling power in the Legislature
Of the State. Taxes are piled on in every
fOrm-needed improvements are blocked
and unnecessary ones are forced through
in short, everything is done that ought moi
to be done, and everything is left undonC
that ought be done, and for the doing, ant
the not doing, the tax payer foots the bill
Then again tendency has been to over-dC
and the present condition Of things is thu
necessary reaction. Owners Of real estate
over-built, and while the flush times wer,
on run their rents up to an unconsciOnabl
/ figure, which men submitted to while the,
were making money. But when the pincl
came and profits dropped and things begal
to look blue the tenants found thousand
of stores were standing empty and they re
fused to pay exorbitant rents. In brief
they said to their landlords. 'We don't car
what your building cost you-our trad
will not permit us to pay these rents-com
down or we will move to cheaper groun
and cheaper buildings" And the land
lords came down, not because they wante

Dear Sri have not words to express
my gratitude to you for your advice and
assistance in my case. There is not one
who has used your medicines since they
have been brought here but that can say
with me they have been greatly benefited.
Since have been so helped by its use six
or seven around me left off all doctors and
other medicines, and now use it in their
families. after being cured of the same dis
ease as mire. You do not know what a
wonder it created in our city, by its re-
storing my sister wrote you about, for she
had been under the care of three of our best
doctors but could not sit up but for a few
minutes at one time. L begged of her to
try your medicines, and before size had
used half of the bottles she could go all
around the yard, and has now just come
home from a visit five miles away.
