The first railroad ever built in the
United States, and the first coal-mine
ever opened in this country, are both
situated within fifty miles of Philadel-
phia, at the most picturesque town Of
Mauch Chunk, and ought on no ac-
count to be omitted by visitors to the
Centennial. The railroad is still OPP
Grated and is called the " Switch back, :"
for the cars are drawn up steep
inclined planes by stationary engines,
and then switched back, moving by
gravitation down slightly descending
track. Pleasure cars run over the
road, and take one in view of the orig
inal coal-mine. This romantic town,
where the wealthy Judge Packer
resides, is worth a whole weeks
stay. Unexceptional accommodations
are afforded at the American
House, where plain and respectable
travellers with only one trunk receive as
much attention as those with q half
dozen, which, says correspondent who
speaks from experience, is more than
can be said of most hotels in that and
other places. A fine railroad ride over
the mountains to Wilkesbarre, over
looking the far-famed and beautiful
Wyoming Valley, is one of the delights
of this region. . .. .r

The Missouri Wheelbarr0w Man Heard
From.

One afternoon recently about 3
o'clock man and boy apparently worn
with travel, and certainly DtOased by
the sun and begrimed with the dust OF
the road, were seen trudging in West
King, the man being between the han
dies of an oddly constructed and hand
somely painted wheelbarrOw, and the
boy waikiAs by his side. The man
proved to be Mr.. j. e. Temples OF the
town of Joplin, Jasper County, Mo,
the boy being his son Otto, aged Is
years. He said that he left Joplin on
the 28th of February, accompanied by
his son Otto and an Englishman named
Wilson. Some time last winter he
made proposition that if the Oronogo
and Joplin Mining Company of Jasper
County Would give him 80 pounds OF
neurological specimens from their
mines, he would wheel them on a wheel
barrow all the way to the Centennial
Some beautiful specimens OF ore were
brought to him and he CONSTRUCTED a
wheelbarrow that would be particular
ly suitable for so long journey. The
entire weight of the barrow, baggage
and specimens of minerals is $50 pounds,
and the cost of the outfit was 1925. The
minerals are specimens of zinc, lead,
blackjack, spar, and garnet, all from
Oronogo and joplin, Mo- mines.
Mr.. Temple and his son have travel
ed more than 400 miles. They have
made as high as p miles day and
rarely less than 20 miles, though they
frequently stopped off at convenient
points to recuperate, at one place rest
ing as long as five days: They camped
out q nights, but generally were fur
nished with good lodging and hospiti-
bly, entertained along the route.

DR.. SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA
WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PuLs.-These med.
icines have undoubtedly performed more cures oil
Consumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded Of vege-
table ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious TO the human constitution. Other
remedies advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and, II taken freely
by consumptiye patients, 1t must do great injury;
for its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in
the system, which, OF course, must make a cure
impossible. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is war
ranted not to contain particle Of opium. 1t is
composed Of powerful but harmless herbs,' which
act on the lungs, liver, stomach and blood, and
thus correct all morbid secretions and expel all
the diseased matter from the body. These are the
only means by which Consumption can be cured,
and SIS Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way. it is obvious they are
the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is
accompanied by full directions. DR.. Schenck Is
professionally at his principal Office, corner Sixth
and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday
where all letters for advice must be addressed

With Some Exceptions, Angelic.

4 few days since poor woman came
here with three little children. She had
neither friends nor money, and one
baby was i'll. She was anxious to get
to brother in Idaho, but the task
seemed a hopeless one. She concluded
to give lecture which should consist
simply of the pathetic story of her
struggle TO take care of her little ones.
She called upon one gentleman in this
city and asked him to buy a ticket. He
said: "My poor woman, go on with
your lecture, and after it is over come
and see me again" Yesterday she
called again, and he asked her how
much she lacked to enable her to reach
her friends. She told him. 1t was q
pretty large sum, but the man imme-
diately drew check for enough and
more than the amount named to guard
against accidents, and told the woman
gently that if she was detained or got
in trouble on the road to write to him.
The woman told US all this with tears
in her eyes, and said he was an angel.
He would not do for ready-made angel
without some repairs, but it was good
deed, and we fancy he slept better for
it last night. There are some very
sweet things connected with the posses
sion Of great wealth. PtTgiaiG (NeU.)

ENCOURAGING SYMPTOMS.

The cheering glow diffused throughout
the system by Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
the elasticity of mind and body which they
impart, and the disappearance which they
cause of those vague, uneasy feelings so diff
ficult to describe, are most encouraging
symptoms to the Responding invalid. The
sensation of returning health is a most de
lightful one, and to enjoy it, those afflicted
with dyspepsia, liver complaint, cOnstipa-
ton, Intermittent or remittent fcvers, lack of
vitality, sleeplessness, rheumatic, nervous
and urinary troubles, should avail them
selves without delay of this Invaluable tonic
and corrective. Besides being specifically
adapted to the eradication of these NAL
aides, it is wondrously effective in all dis
eases involving a diminution of vital power
on account of its properties as a general in
l.gOrant.

very air he breathes, and, unless there
are European children in the neighbour
hood, there is no fear of the opposite con-
tagion. A fear of having their children
corrupted by the evil communication OF
Christian (but not because they are
Christian, rather because they are not
Christian) children is not the least pow
erful motive which prompts the Mus
sulman TO pitch his dwelling away from
their habitations. 0Re indirect conse-
quence of this mode of education is that
children in the East are remarkably OBJ
servant. AS they are not occupied in
jabbering, they observe, and their
naturally remarkable gifts in this re-
spect are allowed full play. 1t is for
this reason that yon often see little ur-
chins in the East helping their parents
in complicated domestic duties at an
age when their compeers in Europe are
kicking their nurses and blowing their
trumpets in perambulators.

Washingten's Self Control.

An officer to whom he was very much
attached was taken dangerously i'll, and
he had him removed from his uncom-
Portable quarters to a room in his own
house. Late in the evening one of his
aids, with some other young officers, re-
turned from party in the country, and
gathering around the old fireplace, grew
quite hilarious over some incidents that
had occurred. Washington stepped out
of his room adjoining, and, after ex-
changing few words with them, spoke
of the sick officer and his dangerous
condition. The young officers became
quiet, but after a little while they forgot
all aboutit, and were merry as ever. In
the midst of their jokes and laughter
the door of Washington's room opened
very gently, and the General himself
appeared with candle in his hand.
Crossing the floor on tiptoe, he went in
to the kitchen as if in search of some
thing, and Immediately returned in tie
same noiseless, careful manner. The
young men took the hint, and immedi-
ately dispersed.-J. T. Headtey, in

A Table of Matrimonial Chances for
Women.

A sweet young lady of the West End,
who has evidently been giving the sub
ject serious reflection, gives the follow
ing table as showing a woman's
chances Of marriage between the ages
of II and 40 years.
OF LOCO women, taken without selec-
ton, it is found that the number mar
ried at each age is as below. Or if (by
an arithmetical license) we call 4 wom-
ans chances of marriage in the
whole course of her life 1000, her
chances in each two years will be shown
in the table.
