GENEVA, July 25th, 1878,

UENEfA, July zolll, 1oio.
 We are still at the beautiful city which we found so cool and pleasant that we are eth to leave it. We contemplated staying here only a day or two, but shall now remain most q week. The city is one of the oldest on the continent, and dates back of the Christian Era, more that 1903 years ago; though, as centur ics have rolled by, it has greatly im- proved, and is now much admired by travellers. It is situated at the south crn extremity of Lake Geneva, and is divided ill the middle by two separate cities, the River Rhine passing between, but is connected by six bridges, any of which would be d model for us ill Ameri- ca. When tn " build here in Eurpe they build for the future, and do not expect to make repairs for generations. The city is well laid out ill parks which, with bronzed fountains, statuary, etc, give an appearance very gratifying to the eyes of stranger. Here is the Geneva of CaIven, the church in which he preached and where he is buried. Here is the residence O. Adolph Ro hschil1, ono of the great bankers of Europe; also of that great infidel of a past age, VCltaire, and many other objects of interest to ! American people. We have been great ! ly ill. crested here in examining the i ieTelry stores, for which the city is so much noted. It would seem aS if near ly every other store kept watches, dia- monds, etc We leave here in the morn- ing for Interlarken, and shall there pass the Sabbath. The following week we hope to reach Paris, where we shall re- main at least two weeks, and thence 10 London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Liver pool, and leave for New York August 29th, OF steamer Brittania, of the White Star Line, and hope to be in Newtewn Saturday evening, Sept. Eth. Shall write you again from Paris.
 ]. Yours, TOURISTS.

LARGE RAT CRop.-Mr. a. B. Shat

LARGE RAT CRoP.-Mr. u. b. Shat
fer has the champion rat harvester.
Last Friday night, being good night
for rats, he set the machine in run
ming order, and on Saturday morning
found it had taken up good many
of his own rats and several that had
come over from his neighbors during
the night. The rsts were much en-
barrassed when Mr.. Shafer found he
had made good catch" and made
frantic demonstrations indicating that
if let off this time they would not do
so any more. Those that had come
over from the neighbors could be rec
ognized from tleir urgent anxiety to
get back. Mr.. Shafer agreed to let
them all out, meantime providing
himself with Messrs. Hitchins Bros.
terrier. One by one they were set
free the intervals being just wide
enough to give the dog full swing to
display his qualifications. Each was
remorselessly gobbled, while by
stander counted sixteen. One, how
ever got so much mixed in the crowd
he could not be counted. He ran IN
der Bells building and saved his
bones, but the trap is entitled to
catch of seventeen: and we don't
know how many "bites."

Nor forget that We, delighted, can rest
In which is told of the common and best.
Certainly Frostburg has fully confessed
knowledge of her manufactures possessed.
Everything in here the fancy to tickle
Lavishly abounds with Gross & Nickel.
Fully stocked always and ever so cheap,
Usually small the profits they reap.
Remember strictly-large sales rule the

No chance for dollars-we must make on

In solemn fact we must this truth declare
That here none with Gross & Nickel COM

Useless it is to compete with work so grand
to stand
Fen mid moving about" fromland to land.
Must not we seek at once this we'll known

And find the goodly things we will adore
Indeed, rivalry shrinks in very dread,
Now that Gross 81 Nickel stand far ahead.

The ConspIrators Unmasked.

When Representative Potter originally of.
fered his investigating resolution he dis
tinctly declared that there was no intention
of reopening the Presidential question. And
the better class of democrats have repealed
the charge that this movement involved rev.
dictionary designs, and have insisted that it
contemplated nothing more than an investi-
CATION. But when precisely this issue was
presented in the House, on Thursday last
the democratic majority deliberately refused
to declare that they would not proceed
against the Presidents title. Congressman
Harrison, of Illinois, democrat who is APP
parently not opposed to fair and honest in
vestigation, introduced resolution author
ing the Potter committee to investigate the
alleged frauds in Oregon and elsewhere, and
adding the provision that the Forty fourth
Congress having decided that Hayes and
Wheeler were elected, it is not now in the
power of Congress or of this House by the
present investigation to annul or to attempt
to annul the action of the Forty-fourth Con.
gress." The Speaker pro tenn, Mr. Sayler, fol
lowed Mr. Randall's example in admitting
the resolution as a question of privilege, and
then followed scene of great confusion in
the democratic ranks, resulting in major
ity of the democrats voting that it was not
question of privilege. An attempt was
made to amend the resolution by striking
lao ,,arl;n, about ~ DraoiIa,tfa t,t1a
and finally new resolution was referred to
the Potter committee directing an investi-
cation where there was reasonable ground
for suspecting fraud, but emitting any state
ment as to the intentions in regard to the
President. The whole course of the demo-
cratic managers said, palmer than mere
words could say, that their object is to get
control of the chief executive office. And to
this result the whole party is being drawn
under the whip and spur of such politicians
as Tilden and his champions, and such jour
nal as the New York SUM- which threatens
thus We are of the opinion that if this
advice. is followed, and the democrats
supineiy submit to see Hayes serUe out his term
undis'urbed, the President next elected will
be some Republican pledged to the constitu-
tional method of counting and determining
electoral votes"
On one side are peace and order, and the
steady growth of commercial prosperity,
which are included in the maintenance of
the Presidents title undisturbed on the
other is the opening up of question once
formerly settled, and which cannot be argued
over again without the greatest danger to
the peace of the country and absolute injury
to every business interest The people are
| now asked 10 choose between these.
