Death from Poisonous Gas.

On Monday morning John E. Cameron,
near Pittsville, Pa, built fire in his lime
kiln. He lowered his son by means of a
bucket into the kiln to sec that every
thing was right, and then the two went
away to work. The operation of lowering
the boy into the pit was witnessed by two
other children of Mr.. Cameron, boy nine
years old and girl aged five. Soon after
their father had gone away the boy persua-
ded his sister to let him lower her to the bot
tom of the pit. When he attempted to pull
the bucket up he could not move it and he
ran home and told his mother. Mrs. Cam
eron and her mother-in- law, lady about
70 years old, went to the spot. Mrs. Cam
eron looking in saw the body of her child
lying on the bottom of the pit, and dis
covered that the noxious fumes from the
burning limestone had commenced to fill
the pit. She placed her son in the bucket
and lowered him down to get the little
girl. The boy placed the child in the
bucket and clinging to its side it was
drawn up short distance, when the gas
overpowered the boy and he fell back. in
to the pit Mrs. Cameron hurriedly drew
up the bucket with the body of her daugh.
ter, and telling her mother-in-law to take
the windlass, prepared to descend 10 re-
cover her son. The old lady lowered her
a short distance, when the weight became
too much for her strength, and the crank
slipped from her hands, striking her on
the head and knocking her senseless. Mrs.
Cameron was thus precipitated into the
pit and overcome with the gas. A stage
came along shortly afterward, and the dri-
yer seeing the bodies of the little girl and
old Mrs. Cameron, made an examination,
and with the aid ola passenger succeeded
with great difficulty in bringing up the
bodies of Mrs. Cameron and the boy. The
OLD lady was restored, but the rest were
dead beyond recovery. During the past
seven years ten persons have lost their lives
in this kiln, under circumstances similar to
the above.

What Is Needed.

The need of reform is apparent in every
department of the Federal Government.
The Executive branch abounds in corrup-
tions, and is conducted in spirit of despot-
ism unequaled in any existing foreign gov
eminent. Nominally free, there is more
arbitrary interference in local affairs than
characterizes the liberal monarchies of
Europe. The Legislative department is
rotten through and through. There is little
need to recite the startling proofs of the fla
grant iniquities which have dsgraced
American annals. The records of Congress,
covering many thousand pages, confirm the
most vivid narrative in which the vice and
venality of the government have been sum
married..
The Republican platform "points with
pride" to the best record of the Admins.
tration; Astounding, as it does, in subsidy
grabs, railroad, land and bond steals, the
establishment ofobnoxious monopolies, the
building up of rapacious rings, the thrifty
progress ofall form ofjobbery, the plethoric
growth of the thieving carpetbaggers, the
murderous and oppressive employment
OF the Dayonet, the encouragement of the
most dangerous speculations; these under
the manipulations of the Shepherds, the
Blaines, the Grants, the Cardozas, the Della

The Republican party makes the fatal
error of supposing that the present cam
paign is to be decided on the strength of
the amiable virtues of the candidates.
Not at all. This campaign is to turn upon
the capacity and courage of the candidates

OF the ablest of them, and draw from their

want is President who will make short
work with the abominable system which
exists with oppressive power, and plum
ders with astonishing cupidity in the seats
OF government. To do this requires some
thing more than amiability; something
more than honesty. 1t requires an iron
Will, great courage, and knowledge of the
way to do it. In addition to all this, it is
indispensable that the man who is selected
to the Administration whose works lie is
for this work shall be under no obligations
to destroy. 1t is absurd to suppose that
Hayes will enter the White House amid
the applause of the very men the people
detest, and become the avenger of the Re
public upon them. Not a bit of it. 1t is
absolutely certain that the next President
must be elected in spite of the Administra.

A Robbers Cave In Snain.

strange story comes from Spain. A
detachment of soldiers some time ago dis
covered, in u secluded part of a mountain
chain, cavern which was inhabited by
robbers, who had taken advantage of the
civil war in order to ply their criminal
avocations. An alcove was attached to
this subterranean dwelling, the door of
which the soldiers broke open. They we've
astonishcd to find the apartment deccntly
furnished, and provided with books, flow
ers, and even piano. In an easy chair
sat venerable old man. The soldiers in
tcrrogated him, but obtained only incohe-
rent replies. 1t has been ascertained, from
the confession of one of the robbers, that
the old man was the cashier of banking
firm at Burgos; that they had broken into
the bank and stolen the safe, and taken
the cashier with them, in hopes that he
would assist them to open the safe. Du-
ring the retreat, which was marked by
many adventures, the intrepid old man
succeeded in cvading the vigilance of his
guardians for a short time, and secretcd
the safe in place where he would be able
to recover it afterward. When the booty
was missed and the robbers failed to as.
certain the place where it was concealed,
they revived the proceedings OF the ia
nous chaffeurs by roasting the feet of their
victim in order to extort confession. But
the inflicted tortures had different effect.
The man became insane, and it was with
the object of restoring Him to reason that
the robbers bestowed the utmost attention
on him, in the hope that when he recover
ed he would reveal to them the place where
the safe was concealed.

A Gentleman.

When you have found man, you have
not far to go to find gentleman. You
cannot make gold ring out of brass. You
cannot change Cape May crystal to u
diamond. You cannot make gentleman
till you first find man. To be a gentle.
man is not sufficient to have had a grand.
father To be gentleman does not de-
pend on the tailor or the toilet. Blood
will degenerate. Good clothes are not
good habits. The prince Lee Boo con-
cluded that the hog was the only gentle
man in England, as being the only thing
that did not labor. A gentleman is lust a
gentIe man; no more, no less diamond
polished that was first diamond in the
rough. A gentleman is gentle. A gen.
tleman is modest. A gentlemen is courte-
Gus. A gentleman is slow to take offence,
as being one who never gives it. A gen.
tleman is slow to surmise evil, as being
one who never thinks it. A gentleman
subjects his appetites. A gentleman re-
fines his taste. A gentleman subdues his
feelings. A gentleman controls his speech
A gentleman deems every other better
than himself. Sir Philip Sidney was never
go much ola gentleman-mirror though
he was of English ghthood-as when,
upon the field of Zutphen, as he lay in his
own blood, he waved the draught of cool
spring water, that was to quench his NOR.
tai thirst, in favor af dying soldier. st.
Paul describes gentleman when he ex-
horted the Philippian Christians: "What-
soever things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure, what
soever things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report, if there be any virtue,
and if there be any praise, think on these
things" And DR.. Isaac Barrow, in his
admirable sermon ON the callings of gen.
tleman, pointedly says, "He should labor
and study to be leader unto virtue and
notable promoter thereof; directing and
exciting men thereto, by his exemplary
conversation encouraging them by his
countenance and authority rewarding the
goodness of meaner people by his bounty
and favor; he should be such gentleman
as Noah, who preached righteousness by
his words and works, before profane
world. - BiSh0D DOdne
