Observation-Disclosures.

PHILADELPHIA. August 4 4--Goyernor
Ha-tr, has issuel q special order OF
coagraLulstion to his State troops, es-
pecially for their gallant resistance to
the mcb violence At Pittsburgh. The
governor says the good results which
have followed have not alone been con-
fl ed to the locality OF the occurrence,
but all those resisting lawful authority
seem now TO understand what must be ex-
pected If there be continuance in defying
the laws. To the companions and rela
tives of Lieutenant j. Dorsey Ash, OF
the Keystone battery, and the enlisted
men who were killed in the affair the
commander-in.chet extends his condo
le0ce and sympathy, yet there is the
sad consolation that they died FOR the
laws supremacy and to secure the per-
manency of our established institutions.

PARIS, August - Adelins PATHS suit

judicial separation. Madam PATHS sp-
plication was refused. Her husbands
was granted The sentence states that
Madam Patti does not even offer TO briDg z
forward any proofs of the facts she a.
eges On the other hand, the documents
placed before the tribunal, particularly the
pondence addressed to Madam
Patti by third person, show that her
conduct did the grsvest injury to her
husband. The Court, therefore, pro
nounces against her petition for seps-
ration OF body and goods, and condemns
her to pay costs. AS divorce Is unrecOg-
nized by French law, neither party can
marry again The sitting was public.

dwell on the bright side OF city lite so
much that their own life in the country
seems always dull and prosy, and city
life always charming and bright. They
magnify the drs wbscks on one side and
exsggerate the pleasures on the other
They drone over the dullness of coun-

they encourage dislike for what ls

A boy hesitstes 10 round out his lite on

him, and he goes to the city to realize
his ambitious schemes, and becomes
clerk in dry goods store, or lsborer
in some manufsctory, or driver OF u
street car, or u brakeman on n railroad.
He COMES from home where ne was,
in n certain sense, master OF his own
movements, and enters business where
he works harder, where he lives less con-
fort, bly,, and where he lis always IN sub
ordinate position. He comes from the farm
where his living is assured, and enters
field where position, ever so humble, is
difficult to secure and hard to retain;
where he takes great chances OF being
thrown out Of employment under most
embarrassing and distressing circum-
stances. He comos from locality where
there are no beggsrs, no poverty-strlcken
people, no men presuming to dictate rs
to when he shall labor, end where and
how, and enters calhngs in which he
ceases to be master of his own action.
