and after meals, and that family
worship will be conducted by the
head of the family or some head
boarder; we take these things for
granted. The circular also fails to
mention the church or denomina-
ton he represents, but we presume
it is the universal brotherhood of
clearinghouse keepers. If any of
our Christian readers, and we know
we have many such in spirit and
truth, desire comfortable quarters
and are not satisfied with the as
surances of Rev. Mr.. Long, they
will have to write to some well
known pastor of their denomina-
ton in Philadelphia, or apply to a
first class hotel. The latter plan is
most likely to give satisfaction ;
and we leave all our readers to form
their own opinion of a real or
clergyman who undertakes
to make a cheap boarding-houSe
agency respectable and attractive
by throwing around it the cloak
and name of a holy cause.

TIE FAvoRITE SON OF THE REPUB-
LICAN PARTY.

Ex-Speaker Blaine continues to
explain. Before he gets through
with one case another is knocking
at the door of the Investigating
Committee. He manifests great
impotence and takes advantage OF
all the legal technicalities and rules
of evidence in his favor This is
extraordinary for a man who is
aware of his perfect innocence.
His object seems to be rather to
battle witnesses and bring out little
points in his favor, than simply to
clear himself of charges. The well
known fact that he is a remarkably
shrewd, audacious man, renders his
full vindication before the people
more difficult than if he were a
plain, Simple-minded individual.
Thus far no guilty act has been
proven on him. If he has been
concerned in diShonorable trans
actions he has covered up his tracks
so well as to almost defy detection.
But it is rather unfortunate that
he should have been engaged In so
many things that require explana-
ton. He evidently is of a specu-
latiye mind, and seems to have dab
bled a little for himself or his
friends in almost every thing that
came along. He admits that he was
engaged in ONE unfortunate specu-
lation-that Arkansas bond bust
ness. How many others, he knows
best. 1t is rot unlikely that he
has tried his hand successfully and
unsuccessfully very often. A Con
gresham has as much right to in
vest in bonds or stocks that are not
to be affected by Congress
sional action as any other citizen,
but a regular stock jobber is hardly
the man for President, no matter
what are his politics. Mr.. Blaine
To be the favorite SON Of his
party Just now, as his party cares
for nothing but success and the
of office. He has shown
himself bold and unscrupulous, and
more capable even than Morton
of brandishing an imaginary bloody
shirt. Then, Mr.. Blaine Is such a
poor man; he could not sell out for
perhaps more than 5000, 900. He
needs the office of President and
his party needs him. 1t is looked
on as a good trade ON both sides.

BOARD FOR THE PI0Us AT PHILA-
DRIPHIA.

We are in receipt Of aposta1 card
from a pious Christian boarding
house agency at Philadelphia, which
contains such valuable and pleasing
news that we hasten to make it
public. The card came yesterday
Sunday, when no LEDGER was
issued, hence we are already a day
behind time. 1t is addressed
"Des.r Editor" and sets forth that,
"As the following news item will be Of
interest to your Christian readers, you
will please give it a g~rstuitous notice 10
your next Issue. On receipt Of your
paper containing it We will arrange to
grant you. or any representative OF your
paper, special favors in the price Of
board in Christian houses while on a visit
TO the Centennial"
the news item is headed, Seen
termial Christian Homes" and is
as follows:
The great number Of visitors in Phila-
delphia, during the Centennial Exhibi-
ton, necessitates the opening Of private
homes for board and lodging. Many
Christian families, who are unwilling to
open their doors to q promiscuouS pub
lie, have arranged a plan by which they
give admission to Christians and their
friends. This will be equally pleasant
to Christian people abroad who may not
wish to be associate ed with the great va
riety Of characters brought together in
hotels and public clearinghouse 10
order to have this select class the price
OF board is generally much lower than
prevails by other arrangements, varying
from IS to $l4 q week, and from 81 ia
" SO per day. Each family fixes it
own price, and receives its pay direct
from Its guest. Those wishing to secure
places under this ARA ngement will please
write as long beforehand as possible.

OUR FOUNTAIN.

The fountain in Court Square
was formally dedicated and turned
over to the city last Saturday. A
very large crowd was present and
the ceremonies were BETTING so in
teresting and important an event
in our local history. A report Of
the proceedings will be found else
where. MI. James Elder, an old
and honored citizen, is entitled to
the gratitude Of the entire commu-
nifty for the energy and persever-
ance he has displayed in collecting
the necessary funds and watching
over the progress of the enterprise
from its inception, many months
ago, until its beautiful elimination
last Saturday, the 9th of May, in
the Centennial year. The donors,
whose names appear on the foun-
tain, are likewise entitled to great
credit for their faith and their
works, for faith without works is
dead. Altogether this was one Of
the most pleasing events of the
year. The fountain is one Of the
most beautifully proportional in
the United States, and embowered
as it is in the heart of as sweet a
little gem of a park as there is in
the world, will long remain the
chief attraction of the city, both to
visitors and residents, and will ever
be a monument to the good taste
and public spirit of those who aided
in its erection and completion.
There is one spot free to all, where
the weary may go to be refreshed, the
sad to be comforted, and the joyful
to be glad. Old age will be rejuve-
mated at the sight of the fountain
in its cool shades, and youth will
be inspired to exclaim Excelsior"
as the dancing sprays leap from the
brow of a Hebe and fall with the
grace of poetic motion to the limpid
pool below. To this Sloan we
all may go, every one in his own
peculiar mood, but all to be puri-
fed in spirit and cheered at heart.
