SHAWL PIN IN THE LUNGs.-A year
ago Annie Merkel, aged II years, daus hter
Of John Merlsel, then residing at Leesport,
was crocheting AID had in her mouth a
shawl pin inches in length with a large
black head, which was accidentally inspired
into her windpipe aud passed down into
her lungs. A physician was immediately
sent for, hut could not recover it. The
presence Of the pin caused infam nation and
chronic cough with expectortation of pus
and blood, aud it was feared she had gone
in.o decline with consumption of the
langs. The cough and pain in the lvncs
were especially severe during the past
month. Lest evening she attended church
with her parents, and after returning home
and retiring to bed she was attacked by a
coughing spell which nearly caused suffo-
cation. when suddenly a hard Substance
flew ont Of her mouth and fell on the floor
1t vas heard tn fall and search was made
for is. 1t proved to be about one. third of
the shawl pin with the head attached. In
about ten minutes another coughing spell
brought up the point of tho pin. Miss
Merkel resled very well during the night
and is in very good spirits TO slay. There
is joy and genuine heartfelt thank sgivinc

WATER At The CENTENNIAL.

The English papers come to us filled with
alarming accounts of the impurity of their
rivers, which, 1t appears, are so polluted by
sewage and filth of every kind that they are
no more fit to drink than those of Egypt were
when the Lord plagued the Egyptians.
The subject suggests to us to Enquire what
Philadelphia means to do about this matter of
water next Summer Fairmount Water
works are among her show places and de-
seryedly SO from the beauty of their surround
ings and construction, but the people who will
throng the city this time next year will, we
suspect, be much more concerned about water
than works. The Schuylkil water during the
last Winter was unfit to use unless after care
full fltcring, it receives the drainage from
the mills of Manayunk and other manufacture
ing settlements, besides innumerable slaughter
houses, etc. etc. When it is frozen over in
Winter, or during the lower stages of the
Summer months it is nauseOus both as to smell
and taste. If its quality is bad it is still more
deficient as to quantity. At the present date,
when the population of the city is greatly re-
duced by the Summer exodus, the supply of
water has been so far short of the demand that
strict orders were lately issued forbidding its
III street vi "hShihS thC
Park fountains were stopped and the citizens
yehcmcntly urged to economic the use OF
water in their dwellings as far as possible. In
many quarters of the city the water did not
reach the second stories of the houses for
weeks. and if the recent drOuth had been pro-
longed there would have been reason to fear
still greater trouble.
Now so far as this year is concerned this
matter is the BUSINESS only of Philadelphia;
but next year it becomes an affair of world
wide importance. At the very season when
the water fails to supply her own diminished
population, she invites the whole United States
and all the rest of mankind TO be her guests
The great crowd and crush will be during the
first weeks in July, when every rule of health
demands every year first OF all unlimited
abundance of water for cooling and cleansing
purposes /; how much more will this be required
when her population is doubled or probably
trebledf Where is the water to come from?
In case of large fire, she will DO totally I'M
prepared to meet It, What State or foreign
nation will be willing to risk its treasures of
manufactures or art in her Centennial build
ings, knowing this to BIO the casei
We put this query in no spirit of unkindness,
but with hearty desire that the evil may be
promptly remedied. Pennsylvania and Phila-

CERTAIN REPORTS PIT IN CTRCCL1TION
lfrNTEp M1HNH

Commissioner Smith j. most extraordinary
person. Apparently he has not yet discovered
that he is accused personally of any serious
wrong in connection with the frauds at the
Red Cloud Agency and he complains, with a
cu,iOus assumption of official dignity, that
Prof. Marsh has never presented any definite
charges to him or to the Secretary of the
Interior against the Agents or other persons
connected with the distribution of Indian sup
plies. When Mr.. Smith has read the whole of
Prof. Marsh's pointed letter, and has taken,
perlIaps. a few days and nights to reflect upon
il. he may begin to comprehend in Il dim sort
of way that the reason why Prof. Marsh
omitted to present any definite charges to him,
was that Prof. Marsh had definite charges to
make dgainst him. 1t was for a similar reason
that the Professor "did not call upon the
"Secretary of the interior, nor did he com
"municate with him by writing.' The Com
missioner and the Secretary seem to be under
the deluSion that they are invited TO investi-
gate and decide tins case. How astonished
they will be when they find out that the role
for which they are cast is that of defendants,
rot judges.
The charges to which Mr.. Dclano coolly re-
fcrred as "certan reports put inf circulation
"by Mr.. Marsh" include extremely definite
charges of theft and miscellaneous rascality by
which the Ring of agents, contractors, and
officers of the Indian Bureau, robbed the Sioux
with one hand and the Government with the
other. We summarize under the following
heads some of the transactions which Prof.
Marsh has told in detail:
/. Agent Savlle certified to the Interior De-
partment that on the Sth of November, 1874,
he issued to the Indians at Red Cloud Agency
27124S pounds of beef, when in truth he is
sued none at all then or for some time after
ward, and the Indians at that time were suf-
fcring severely from hunger.
2. SavilTe gave the number of Indians re-
ceying rations at the Agency AS 1917,

SUBSIDY SEEKERS At RfLFTGH.

Another voice is raised in favor of the Old
Flag-and Appropriation or. to be more
accurate, for ApprOpriations-andt the Old Flag
1t is the Cotton States Congress, now in session
mt Raleigh, which speaks and il declares in favor
of the repeal of the Banking Tax, an initiation
of the currency, direct trade with Great Britain
and above all, in favor of Congressional sub
sides to various projected internal improve
mcnt enterprises.
As to the composition and objects of the
Cotton States Congress we are not definitely
advised, but had hoped that it was composed
of representative men from the South, con-
vened to consider ways and means for the de-
yclopment of the material resources of that
section. But if this is their idea of business
it is to be feared that no good can come from
their deliberations. From recent proceedings one
would infer indeed that the Congress has
fallen into the hands of visionary railway
builders or moncylcss spectators with de-
signs upon the National Treasury. What else
can We believe when we find such n report as
this presented and adopted without reported
dissent:
The Committee on proper basis to unite the
mercal interests of the Southern ana the States Of
the West and Northwest report that the South Allan

LADY FRANKLIN And OTHER UIVES.

i Il
Aweek or two ago Lady Franklin (being as it
was supposed, nigh unto DEATH sent to the women
of this country the peculiarly womanish and
pathetic message that they should pray for her.
There il at last chance that the bones OF her
husband may in year or two be brought back to
England, and the faithful soul, it seems, would
hold death off yet.a little while, that she may
receive them. Every woman, of course, was
touched by this request; the c0arsest journals
in copying il commented on it with grave re-
Spect. The white-haired old woman, who in
the eyes of the whole world still shows her
faithful devotion to the husband who left her
i'm the lush of her youth and beauty, To return
no more to her, has been, for this generation,
one of the most pathetic figures in modern
history. The facts of her story have been ex
ccptonally picturesque and dramatic. There
was the brave explorer gone down into eternal
cold and silcnce-intO the chambers where the
snow and ice are born, that uninlabited coun-
try of awful night, and more awful splendors
of light, whose mysteries are but little less ter
rible to the living world than those of IIades;
and there WAS the poor wife, powerful only in
her devotion, going from one country to
another, asking help to find and bring him
back from death. When the appeal of the
woman was answered.. and twenty expeditions
one after another at cost of over six millions
of dollars, were sent ont bv shrcwd practical
Governments upon this QuiyOtic GRAND, the
heart of the world was touched. Nothing in
the old crlIsades was more chivalric than this
response TO a wifes appeal; these money
making mercenaIy days need more than the
old poet great Thought now and then to re-
fresh them, and, as we told ourselves we had
it here. This woman's conjugal love was of
the grand old heroic model; it took Ills back
to the days Of Cato and Lucreta. We even
felt little surprise that the story should have
missed its way and happened in our own age,
among bcpaniered and fashionable women,
and petty intermnable scandal gossip and suits
in divorce courts.
But after all, is it not worth our while to
consider whether the eternal ice and snow and
the great national expeditions may not have
served as a pedestal to lift this especial
woman's loyalty into notice. and whether,
under the befrllled and fashionable and COM
monplace lives of the women who live next
door or jostle us in the horse cars there may
not be found love and faith of just as large
and pure prOpOrtiOnsf Love and Marriage are
the rule among us, and Love and Mar
riage are not, in spite of appearances,
matters of Grsh and foul jealousy and fouler
passion, to be paved and glOated over by the

The Legislative Committee for the invesiga
ton of quarantine and emigration manage
ment at this port began taking testimony yes
terday, and examined Mr. Jackson, the Secre
tary and Treasurer of the Emigration Com
mission, concerning the receipts and expcnd
lures of the past five years, the changes i'll
salaries, and kindred subjects. Members of
the Committee became puzzled by the
sethods of bookkeeping which were
brought before them, and could not I'M
derstand how, with an apparent ex-
cess of receipts over disbursements at the end
of year the Commission SHOULD annually sink
deeper in the mige of debt. One or two of the
Assemblymen engaged in the investigation pro-
fess uncertainty as to the objects for which
,he work of inquiry was set on foot. This
is not encouraging to the hopes of much good
coming from the Committees labOr, but
there is certainly sore need that the inveStiga-
ton should make plain every puzzle which
may exist in the Commissions accounts, and
should result in q clear and convincing show
ing of Just what is needed to get the Commits
sion out of the difficulties in which it is now
houndering, and to enable it to avoid all SIM
liar diStresses in the future.
