horse thief, from Aubun to this place,
they were attacked by four masked
men. and League was shot through
the back. League was then tied to

The Real Hartz Cheese.

At every hotel, at every restaurant, on every table, you will find Hartz cheese; you will see great shelves of it laid out to dry, or mold, or decay-it don't matter much what it does, the worse it is spoiled the better it is the further you scent the perfume, the more delicate is the flavor. When I assure those persons who have ever smelt Limburg cheese that it is the perfume of thousand flowers com pared with the cheese eaten as a deli cacy in the Hartz, it is not necessary to explain why a generous flask of eau de cologne is a great desideratum on your trip. The real Hartz cheese, known by that name, is made into small round cakes, the size and shape of 8 maccaroni, and is really not so very disa- greeable 1t tastes much like one would imagine clot of sour milk to taste, that had been left in the sun until it had been baked hard and dry and yell low. But the favorite cheese that is served with bread and butter after din- ner resembles great square of badly made soup, kept in damp cellar until 1t is moldy and slimy, and it smells like the distilled essence of thousand glue shops and soap factories com bined. Curiosity prompted me once to taste 1t /; 1t had the effect of @ most ex- cellent dinner. I did not want any thing to eat for some time afterward |; besides, have suffered ever since with a feeling of remorse that ever should have made wry face over a spoonful of castor oil, or any other little delicacy of the allopathic practice.

The RNnkrnntcY Bill.

The United States Congress since it's first meeting has had under considera- tion an improved bankruptcy bill something that would more generally than the present law meet the demands of the people. The old law, it is claimed, enables any man; who cannot promptly collect debt of $250 to put any debtor, whether single individual or firm or corporation, ina state of bankruptcy, and compel the debtor, in panic which renders all property un- salable, to stop business and sacrifice an establishment which it may have re- quired years to build up, and which might pay all it's debts and save great deal from the wreck if allowed to 90 on in expectation of easier times. The United States Senate bill, instead of permitting any single creditor with barely $250 at stake to throw a great business estab ablishment into bankruptcy and compel it to be wound up, requires the concurrence of one-fourth of, all the creditors to commence proceedings in bankruptcy. ,ss. .i-7g4 .. t...
 Another important amendment re- lates to the sale of property. Sales by auction for immediate cash in stringent times when money is not 2to be had, is ruin to the creditors whose interests it is the purpose of a banlruptcy law to protect. The amendment clothes the court with a large discretion in ordering the sale of a bankrupt's property so as to realize the greatest amount it could be expected to bring. Inregard to real estate, it permits it to be sold. on terms which invite competition by allowing the buyer to pay one-fourth down, and give notes for three equal payments of the rest at intervals not exceeding six months, the notes being secured by @ mortgage on the property.

Resist the Beginning.

The Arabs have fable of a miller, who was one day startled by camel's nose thrust in the window of the room where he was sleeping.
 "It is very cold outside" said the camel; II only want to get my nose in." r f ''.,t
 The nose was let in and then the neck, and finally the whole body. Presently the miller began to be ex. tremely inconvenienced by the un- gainly companion he had obtained, in a room certainly not long enough for both.
 eff you are inconvenienced you may leave," said the camel "as for myself, shall stay where am." ..-4
 The moral of the fable oncerns all. When temptation occurs, we must not yield to it. We must not allow so much as it's |" nose to come in. Every thing like sin is to be turned away from. He who yields even the smallest degree will soon be entirely overcome :; and the last state of that man was worse than the first.

 A bill appointing Asa Gray, J. ID. Dana, Henry Coppee, John Mclean, and Peter Parker, regents of the Smithsonian Institution was passed.
 The bill for the relief of aged or imfirm pre- emption settlers on public lands was passed. Mir. Cameron. of Pennsylvania, in discussing the Salary bill thought the whole system of mileage wrong. It cost him but $5 to come from Harrisburg here, yet he received $4S mileage Members might go around every which way to get to the capital, and think themselves justified in drawing mileage for the whole distance travelled. The Government of the United States thinks it is right in send- ing the mail for Elmira from here to Baltimore, then to, Philadelphia and New York, and then to Elmira. through Elmira is nearer to Wash ington than it is to New York.
 In discussing the House appropriation bill, MT. Archer, of Maryland, said the difficulties with Spain had not passed by. There had been a probability that the relations with Spain might remain peaceful while Castelar, was at the head of the Spanish Government, for Cas- telar was known to be friend of the American republic. But that very friendship had caused his deposition, and in his place was now the bloody Serrano, who had nothing but hatred and dislike to the United States, and yet the proposition was that the navy should stand not on the usual peace basis, but one-fourth below the usual peace basis No greater mis- take can be made than in cutting down the navy in the cry of economy. The true econo- my was to keep up a strong navy in order that war may be averted; not to be economical until war comes, and then launch out into wild expenditure.

A Very Valuable Book.

" History of the Grange Movement. or the
 Farmers War against Monopolies." Being
 a full and authentic account of the strug-
 gles of the American farmers against the
 extortions of the Railroad Companies
 With History of the Rise and Progress of 7 the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. Pub
 ished by the NATIONAL, PUBLISHING Co.,,
 Philadelphia.
 The most remarkable and powerful movement of the present day is, un- questionably, the War which the Farm CTS are waging against the Monopo- lies of all kinds that have for so long been robbing the people and expressing the toiling portion of our community.
 The work begins with the causes which have aroused the American peo- pie against the monopolists, and treats of the railroad system of the country, it's growth, actual condition and pros- poets. = It then shows how this noble system has been perverted to further the ends of selfish capitalists and rail road directors, who seek gain at the expense of the community and we are given 8 terrible and thrilling account of the crimes and frauds of the railroad corporations of to-day. The author wlelds fearless and vigorous pen, and points out the evils which this selfish greed has entailed upon us. He shows how the great corporations have been able to control the whole country how they have robbed the nation, and cor rupted our Congress, State Legisla- lures, and Courts of Justice.
 Passing from the Monopolists and their outrages, the author takes up the cause of the wronged and oppressed farmers, and gives us detailed state- ment ot these evils from which the farm- ing class is suffering. He analyzes skillfully the causes of the evils, and shows how and by whom the farmers have been robbed.
 A considerable portion of the work is devoted to a history of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry. Aconplete &C., count of the organization and objects of the order is given; its laws and mode of procedure are stated; and each feature is explained at length. -
 It is decidedly the most interestinp and useful volume of the day, and as it comes at time when the whole country is suffering intensely from the effects of the evils it denounces, cannot fail to have tremendous sale. It is an ably written book, and bold and vigorous plea in behalf of the farmers and all who are oppressed and robbed by the grasping MonOpolies which arc causing so much trouble.
 | The book is sold by subscription only, and the publishers want agents in every county. See Advertisement in another column. Corn,
