Ceu,euu,.l r,shtnx Party.

Editors Of the Register.
Not long since q party OF pleasure
seekers came to the conclusion that tney
would have fishing party. Hence, VIII
one COL sent, Thursday, June lotn, 10
was chosen as the day for action, and o.
each one had desired, the day proved 70
be of medium temperature-the gentie'
men making their appearance with hsh'
ing poles, and the lsGies rejoicing IN the
shade of broad .brimmed straw hats. The
party was not large, but they had come
evidently prepared to enjoy them
selves. The place selected for
fishing was few miles below
Mstsmorss, near Independence land.
ing. A large fat.bost which had
been elegantly fitted up, and decorated
with thirteen starry banners, was an
chored out ut q short distance from the
shore, while sKiffs served rs conveysnces
over the intervening water. There was
no lack of fishing tackle, and soon each
one was patiently waiting for the fish to
"bite," while the stars and stripes waved
in peaceful grandeur above our heads.
Our party consisted of the Misses Hol-
dren and brothers, Misses Mcmahon and
brothers, Misses johnson and brother,
Miss Eva johnson, Miss jennie Bear,
Capt. Asa Booth, and MIR. A. Johnston,
making seventeen in all. Some less pa
tient than the rest soon grew tired of
fishing, and went on shore; where
a large SWING had been prepared.
and were soon flying through the air
with energysand good will. Sopleasant-
ly did the hours pass, that it seemed but
a short time till the sun had crossed the
meridian, and announced to US, by beat
ing down upon our heads with scorching
splendor, that it was time for lunch.
Every thing else was Immediately aban-
doned, and dinner was spread under the
shade OF broad-spreading beech tree.
After satisfying our appetites from this
dainty feast, some started of for ramble
in the shady woods, others to search for
fish bait, while those less inclined to ex-
ert thel lselves, remained in the shade
and "mGnched" candy. After enjoying
OURSELVES, in this fashion for an hour
or ~, fishing was again
resume& and with the exception of seve-
raj shorf intermissions for swinging and
other q slusements, was kept up until the
sun begin to disappear below the hori-
ION. Ten the anchor was drawn up,
and wit skillful oarsmsn at the helm
our boat was sooR gliding gracefully over
the smooth water, reaching port in good
time, and as we waved parting adleu
and started for our respective homes we
congratulated ourselves that We had en-
joyed one day of unalloyed pleasure; one
that would be remembered long and
thought of often.
l almost forgot to say that the "brass
band favored Us with some music which
was highly appreciated.

CHANGERS at the Centennial.

The following account of the Granger
Camp at the Centennial will be read
with interest:
As one OF my principal objects was to
learn more about our great Grange en-
campment, visited that place the first
afternoon. and found it at Elm Station,
on the Pennsylvania Railroad about two
miles from the Fair Grounds, and al
though unpretentlons and plain, still it is
large and we'll arranged. Mr.. Painter,
one of the board of manag ers, showed me
through the length and breadth of it,
from the parlors down to the kitchen
and can assure my friends that every
thing | saw WAS arranged for cleanliness
and colpfort; the very essentials for our
grange lsdies rs well as ourselves. The
hotel has 200 rooms, and can accommc-
date from 2 900 10 1000 persons, and is
especially designed tor the Patrons of
Husbandry, although others will also be
accommodated there. The building is 1876
feet in length, $50 deep, and only ten
minutes ride from the Exposition, with
trains going to and from about every 30
minutes. The rooms are each provided
with new double bed (mattress and
sprlngs), chairs, table and mirror, wash
stand, &c; the sides are papered, and the
room provided with lock and key. The
building is lighted with gas, and well
ventilated, and and rooms mostly are on
the first floor, and conveniently connect
ed with the offices dining rooms, wash
rooms, closets, &c. The reception aud
sitting rooms are large, pleasant and con-
venient. The dining room will seat 0CO
guests nj time, and is managed by
brothers of the order, TINS substantial,
and even the delicaci.s, OF the season, are
promised in abundance, and of the best
the market will afford. The services
of a Mr.. Martin, of 30 years experience
rs caterer and manager at popular SUM-
mer resorts, have been secured, and this
department (the essential one) Is promls-
ed to surpass any hotel in Philadelphia.
Telegraph, express, baggage and mail ac-
Communications are also provided, as
we'll rs laundry; also II large hall for
Grange aud other meetings, and the hail
will be used for religious services on the
Sabbath No intoxicating liquors will
he n lowed To De sold on the premises.
Also competent police force, wa,chman,
fire brigade and safe tnr the deposit of
money, &c, are provided, also building
for the care of sick Should any be SO I'M
Fortunately, with u competent physician.
The managers exclude all persons of i'm
proper character. and desire all their
guests to bring with them their trade
cards, certificates of membership, or let
tiers of recommendation, and TO introduce
no friend into the encampment who oes
not bear fair moral record ut home.
Terms double bed per day, 81; meals
each soc The restaurant department
sells cheap lunch packages, ready put up,
for the accommodation OF those visiting
the Exposition to remain all day.

We desire to deal in perfect candor
with our readers. For about twenty years
the Express was steadfsst supporter OF
the Republican party. We are fully i'm
messed now with the greatness OF the
party's history and with the grandeur OF
ia achievements. We should be glad 10
stand in the old lines, and tight with
those with whom we have stood shoulder
to shoulder through the political connIS's
of the past. But We can not do so. Inc
Cincinnati Convention has committed
the Republican party to a financial
policy that has already greatly injured
the country, and which promises en-
may of rum, Mr.. Rutherford b. Hayes,
of Ohio, has taken occasion to say, with
in the last three weeks, to represents
tive Of the Cincinnati Commercial. that
he is no, IN favor of the repeal OF the re
sumption law, unless the act repeating II
should provide for more prompt resn'"p p

The Express can not support Mr.. hsyes'

no principles to compromise, or yieio' OF

The Financial Crisis I'm Fer
tugaf.

LONDON, Aug 21.-The Times in
its financial article says the financial
crisis in portugal originated in the
failure of some financial banks in
Oparto, and is a revival of the revi-
val there in May last, when some
weak banks We're assisted by the
stronger Institutions The govern
ment also advanced money. The bills
then iscounted for the weak banks
have now run their course, and their
position is unimproved, the stronger
banks refuse to renew their bills
The plumber of the bank of Portugal
aud others in not providing cash to
meet the run aggravates the crisis,
and so for the want of a few
thousand %sovereigns a number of
banks were compelled to close their
doors. 1t is expected that the large
amount of s~overeigns mot silver, as
previous stated which have gone
from the Banks of England will re-
store confidence. In the May crisis
the government imported gold, but
the low rate of exchange tempted it
away. Hence its scarcity, which
the banks perhaps might have pre-
vented by reimporting gold ten days
ago instead of now.

Death in the Cigarette.
[New York Grdphic.1

Lord Honghton, in..the Quarter
ly Review, thinks that Americans
restrain themselves, in the mat
ter of public smoking, more than
they used to. In one way he is
right: the meerchaun is notso Of
ten seen in the streets, nor are CT
CARS; but there are more cigarettes
The American youth are getting
into a detestable way of smokingh
cigarettes, papery smell of which
is:offensive to any.well regulated
nose, and which produces cancer
in the lip, and-as the smoke Is
generally inhaled-tr0uble the
lungs and bronchial tubes. The
race of Americans will run down
if the cigarette habit becomes firm
ly settled in this country.

Brave as a LiOn.''

/ believe that is the first time /
have written that sentence for
wears. / cannot bring myself to
write it seriously. Brave as a
liou.n Say, rather, "Cowardly as
a lion;" and you come vastly
nearer the mark. What earthly
claim has the lion to the attribute
of true bravery? Evidently, only
his noise and buster. His roar is
tremendous. He can be danger
Gus If you get him into a corner.
80 can a rat. But the rat will at
tack a vastly superior force-the
lion never. One of the strongest
of brutes, the lion is the most
sneaking. His attacks are made
from secret cover, and in the night
at that. He is easily frightened,
and runs ut the approach of dan
ger. In short, without further ar
gument, the lion, considering the
volume of his roar and the power
of his frame, may be set down as
among the most cowardly OF the
brute creation.
Now, which is really and truly
the most noble and the bravest of
the brutes? Certainly, the dog.
What does the home-bred mastif
know of danger in defence of his
master, or of his masters proper
ty? Who ever heard of the St.
Bernard, or of the Newfoundland,
or the Shepherds dog or the
hound, shrinking from any deadly
peril ia the service of man, woman
or child? The dog is brave. true,
and ready and willing to face
death at any moment In defence
of the household of man.
Brave as y dog 1t does not
sound poetical-it does not sound
at all grand ; but is it not true and
proper? Is it not a thousand times
nearer the mark aimed at than is
that other phrase that heads this
articles. c. T., ia NeW York

To LOVE, TO FORGET AND DIE
By JOAQUIN L

BY the populous land on the lonesome
sea-,
Lo these were the gifts of the gods
to men
Three miserable gifts, and only three
To love, to forget, to die-and then ?
To love in peril, in bitter-sweet pain.
And then, forgotten, lie d own and die
One moment Of sun, whole seasons Of rain
Then night is rolled to the door of the
sky.
TO love? To sit at her feet and weep;
To CHM to her face, hide your face
in her hair,
To nestle you there like a babe in its
sleep.
And, too, like a babe, to believe-it
cuts there
To love? IT'S TO suffer, ellie close to my
breast,
Like a fair ship in haven,oh darling
| cried.
Your round arms outstretchiug to hea-
ven for rest,
Make signal to DEATH" Deeth
came and love died.
To forget To forget, mount horse
and clutch sword,
Take ship and make sail to the ice
prisoned seas;
Write books and preach lies range
lands; or go hoard
A grave full of gold and boy wines
and drink lees,
Then die; and die cursing, and cal it a
prayer!
Is earth but q top "a boy gods de-
light,
To be spun for his pleasure while mans
despair
Breaks out like a wall of the damned
through the night?
Sit down in the darkness and weep with
me
On the edge of the world. SO love
lies dead.
And the earth and the sky and the sky
and the sea
Seem shutting together as a book that
is read.
Yet what have we learned We laugh
ed with delight
In the morning at school and kept toy
ing with all
Times silly playthings. Now, wearied
ere night,
We must cry for dark-mother, her era
die the pail.
