The action Of the Republican State con-
vep,ion Of New Hampshire last week was
q complete victory for Mr.. Hayes and his
Southern policy, and signal defeat Tor the
radical wing of the party that still nights
under the banner OF the bloody shirt. Three
or four weeks ago William f. Chandler, of
that State, restless political demagogue
and the mere shadow Of Blaine, addressed
a lengthy letter to the Republicans of the
State in which he bitterly denounced Hayes
ami his administration, and reviewed with
much detail the alleged bargain, or agree
ment, made last February between hr.
Hayes personal representatives from ONO,
Stanley Matthews, John Sherman and Chas
Foster, on the one side, and certain Demo
cratic members Of Congress from the South
on the other, by which it was arranged
that the count OF the electoral vote should
be completed, which would result in de-
claring Hayes elected, and that il this was
done Hayes would withdraw the troops
from New Orleans and Columbia and per-
mi: the tottering governments OF PACKARD
and Chambell, lain to fall from their own in
herent weakness. Chandler's sublime i'm
peoence will be properly appreciated when
it is stated that he was one Of the coneplr-
ators who, with Bob Mackey, Of this State,
and others Of the same stripe, went down
to Tallahassee Immediately after :be Presi-
Dental election, and through their corrupt
operations with NcLin, negro, and Cow
gill. n white man, the two forming ma
jority of the Returning Board, cheated
Tilden out of the vote Of Florida and de-
clared i: for Hayes. In his letter Chandler
was very careful not to say anything about
the part he himself played in this infamous
business, as a reward for which he asked
Hayes to appoint him Minister to Spain.
His demand was no. complied with and
ray the Republican party i'll his own State
against the Southern policy of the admins
tratiuu, and revive the spirit OF sectional
hate in the ranks of Northern Republican
ism. The letter and it's author we're both
treated with contempt by the State con-
vention-Governor Prescott, warm Hayes
man, was renom inated-a resolution square
" endorsing the pacific course OF Hayes
towards the South was adopted, and Chand-
ler was branded by one of the delegates in
a speech as "a political tramp" This
ought to be the last appearance Of Chandler
on the political stage, and be warning to
him and all others like him that if there is
any one thing that the people Of the whole
country desire more than another, and are
determined to have, it is peace, with all
its uunumbered blessings, between the
North and the South, and hat any man,
10 matter how high may be his position,
who undertakes to inRugura,e an EN- of
strife and discord between the two see
tions, will be overwhelmed by the irresisti-
BILE power Of public opinion.

If SIMON CAMERON, his son Don, and
have quietly decided, rs it is reported they
have done, that Henry NJ. Hoyt, OF Luzerne
county, shall be the Republican candidate
for Governor, all the other fifteen or twenty
patli lots, each one Of whom supposed that
the honor was specially reserved for him.
self, may as well prepare their letters of
declination and put on the Cameron collar
In the approaching political contest in this
State the Cameron clan has but one su-
prerne object in view, to accomplish which
Il will exert all it's energies and resort to all
its prcular appliances, and that object is
the reelection Of Doa to the United States
Senate. Their objective point will be the
Legislature, and in order to make that a
sure thing, every other consideration will
be made to bend, or be brushed aside. If
United States Senators were elected by q
dhect vote Of the people, Don Gamer on
would be defeated by majority of more
than fifty thousand, while under the pres
ent Infamous apportionment bill Legis-
lature may be return ed:that will send him
back to the Senate, where he has not yet
and never will give any evidence of his
fitness for the place. Luzerne county will
elect one of the two Senatrrs and all of the
nine Representatives to which she is en-
t;tled at the next election, Once a reliable
Democratic county, it is now essentially
rotten and demoralized, and opens up An
inviting field for the political debaucheries
of Cameronism. Hence the proposed nomi-
nation Of Hoyt, Cne Of its citizens, and
then an effort to form a coalition on cor
rupt basis with the Observation-Disclosures party,
which at the last election swept the county.
The prize is ten votes for Cameron. Can
he win it? We will see.

Remarkable Longevity.
Tue DEATH OF WOMAN. ONE HUNDRED
AND NINE YEARS OLD.

AT her house on Court street. at TIo
o'clock last evening, says the Cincinnati
Star OF Saturday, Mrs. Angela fodesta-
Oueita terminated most remarkaole lie
for longevity. being one hundred ana hine
wears and one day old. She was uldoubted-
iy the oldest person in this Sta'e, probably
in the United STATES. The incidents of SO
remarkably long an experience IN this VIE
world can but be of interest.
She was born January 10, 1169. You
will better appreciate this statement when
YOU consider that she WAS twenty years Old
when George Washington was lnaug urateo
first President of the United States, and
was old enough to have taken cognlzance
of all the events of the struggle Tor lnde-
pendence She Was contemporary OF Ma
poleon and Wellington. Deceased was a
native Of Italy, having migrated to thls
country III 1S4S.
At the age of twenty years she was mar
ried to Podesta, by whom she had eight
children, four boys and four girls. 1.-the
children, save one, are still III the old coun-
try. The youngest child, John Podesta,
who is now in his fifty -hfst year, is The
proprietor of a beer SALOON at No. 427 Main
street. This son, when quite youth, came
10 this country, and during tue gold ex-
citement of IS47 went to California to seek
his fortune. lie Was but moderately sue
cessful, and a few years Later made his
home i'll this city.
Before she came to America her hus-
band, Podesta, had died. After wander
ing for some months from place TO place i'll
this country, she finally joined her son in
this city.
A few years after coming here, and in the
eighty-siNth year Of her age, she was mar
red a second time TO one Onetta, wander
ing musician, who died some years ago,
since which time she has lived with her son
John.
She was in possession of all her mental
faculties 20 the last, and before this last
Illness was as spry on her feet as many
women fifty years her Junior. Her physl-
cal strength may be appreciated when you
rene Der that at the age of one hundred
she danced all night at ball IN Mozart
Hall.
In her old and wrinkled face she bore
uumistakable marks of beauty in youth.
Her eyes were bright and sparkling, AMI
her household duties we're performed with
out the aid of spectacles. She was always
quite hsshy, and her face was full but
after death her cheeks sank in and other
transformations were made in her appear
ance that her own son could hardly recog-
nize her.
She had been unwel for three months,
but was not confined % her bed until last
Wednesday. Her last bours were free
from pain, and she died as calmly as if only
falling asleep.

THE serious charge is made by the Har-
risburg correspondent ola Pittsburgh daily,
that a member of the House one day last
week offered a bill in his own proper hand
writing for the pensionng Of soldiers Of
the war Of 1912, "disrsspectfre of teangh Of
time Of service" A copy of Webster's
dictionary would be moro useful to the
gentleman from than a copy of
Purdon's Digest, for if bad spelling by a
legislator, which approaches very near to
q crime, was an indictable offence in this
State, his case would be a sad one. No.
satisfied with the laurels ne has won at
Harrisburg, he is fatally bent on the nomi-
nation for Congress in his district. All of
which reminds us of a story told some
years ago of a well known member of Con-
gress from the western part of this State,
who in writing a letter to one Of bis con-
stitueuts, and having occasion 20 use the
words physician and photograph, boldly
commenced them with the letter Of
Tbiuking that he might possibly be mstn-
ken, and afraid to ask for information lest

GENIUS ON TRAMP.-A wonderful
piano player with romantic history is ex-
citing the musicians Of Bridgeport. About
two weeks ago a shabby tramp entered 4
weIl-known music store on Main street, and
asked permission % use a piano for short
time. The proprietor refused at first, but
afterwards consented because the mans
manners were much better than his cloth
The tramp sat down and played a difficult
composition with great ease and brllllauCy.
The pity and contempt OF his listeners were
at once changed 20 admiration. Friends
sprang mp around him, and they are trying
to get him once more on his feet. His his
tory, as told by the Farmer, is as follows ::
He belongs to a titled German family. and
had for his godmpther and patroness no
less parsonage than the Queen of Wur-
temburg. He received university educa-
tiou and became a lawyer. He was at one
time Consul to Paris from Wurte enb burg,
and moved in the highest circles of the
capital when Napoleon and Eugene were
on,the throne. The cause of his fall from
all this high estate was dlssi patton of The
widest kind. AS result Of his Wild and
Ieck less courses be lost his official position
and his standing in society, aud not only
squandered the income from his family as
tate as fast as it came to him, but, in order
to raise more money, cold his claim to
what should be due him for twenty seven
years ahead. When he had exhausted his
resources at home he came to this country,
and engaged in some kind of business or
occupation in New York. His ignorance
of the language, or the dishonesty of his
associates, or both, caused him to fail, how
ever, and left him utterly destitute. 1t
was then that he started out from New
Ork on the tramp, picking up an odd job
now and then on the road, but growing all
the while more ragged aud wretched. His
aimless tramping journey had brought him
as far as Bridgeport on the morning when
he passed the music store and was irresisti-
bly, impelled, by sight of the pianos, to go
in and ask to be allowed to play. -Neao

the most singular curiosities in nature thai

nest of a tarantula. species of spider 1t
is constructed of clay and stones, and is
about four inches long and two inches wide.
A hole three quarters of an inch in diane
ter passes through it lengthvise, one end
OF which is closed by trap door, beveell-
ed on the sides and top, and fitting so per-
fect,y that when closed scarcely a sign Of
the opening is visible. The door is round
ing at the top. perfectly stragh. a. the
bottom and working on a hinge construct
ed on :he same principle as the joints on
which the door hangs. The nest is lined
with soft gossamer substance and is as
round as if bored with an anger. 1t is
SAID that the 'arautula, when attacked,
crawls into its nest, and closing :he door.
secures itself by inserting one OF it's legs
through a staple scarcely discsruible by
