Our Faces,

The human face is not only ''the in
dex to the SOUL" Every bodily sensa
ton leaves its indellible impress upon
the features. Every human face, if
studied attentively, reveals the physi-
cal and mental history of its possessor.
On the crowded street of the city, what
volumes Of these histories are open to
all who would search theml The miser
with his features drawn as tightly as
the mouths of his money bags; the de-
bauchee with his sensual, semi-animal
face; the young man with the future
fair and broad before him, every line
of his countenance revealing energy and
ambition; the maiden's face bright
with innocent love and hope,-each of
these face-histories is as legible as the
printed page before you. But there are
other faces in which we may read sad
histories-faces of work-weary ONE
to'whom living has become an irksome
burden. The fatal alphabet of disease
is written upon every line of their coun-
tenance. Why will these ome suffer
from those painful diseases and weak
nesses peculiar to the sex, losing besides
the charm and beauty of a bright beau
tiful face, when DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription is q sure and effectual
remedy? Ladies who have used it pro-
nounce it to be woman's elixir of
health. Sold by druggists.

SOME years ago an ''anti-treat''
society was proposed in the east, to
remedy the evil of indiscriminate''trea
ing'' in saloons, which, the temperance
people claimed, occasioned much in
temperance. The society was never
fiedged, and that was the last we heard
of the idea, until last week, when u
sublime idiot introduced a bill in the leg
islature of Illinois, making .'treatingn
a criminal offense, punishable by q fine
of not less than five dollars nor more
than fifteen dollars for each offense. 1t
is now in order for that brainless fan
attic to present another bill, making it a
felony punishable by hanging without
benefit of the clergy, for one person to
give another a "chewr of tobacco. If
bad habits are to be reformed, it is best
to be vigorous about it. And then we
have the quiet assurance that the bill we
suggest will pass Just as soon as that
offered by the legislator, who by all
odds, is too good and pure for this
earth, and especially for a legislature.
He should be sent to another sphere.

THE WONDERFUL NEW PRO.
CESS.

Apropos of the new plan of cable
telegraphy, of which the LEADER spoke
the other day, the New York, World, of
a recent date, gives an account Of an
interview with one of the officers oi
the American Cable company, who il
reported as saying:
Concerning the new fac-simile process
of telegraphing which has excited some
comment recently, we wish to say moth
ing. Be it good or bad we own the
exclusive right to use it across the
Atlantic. The power of performance
which the inventor claims for his sys-
tenn is carefully stated in our contract
with him, and you may scan that for
your own private information, but not
for publication.
"The fact is that q few gentlemen
have privately joined together to carry
out a certain telegraphic enterprise.
They expect to succeed in their under
taking, and when they have done SO our
people will enjoy cheaper cable COM
munication and everybody will know
all about. it. We have managed to
keep out of the newspapers; we don't

with a brass band, and shall continue
to mind our own business. This policy

COL. INGERSOLL,S FUNERAL
SER VICE.

An exchange, in a diatribe on Col.
Ingersoll, the ''boss atheist" of the
country, states that Bob believes SIM
ply in hauling of a body and burying it
as Don as it dies. and nc worship or other
ado about it. While we are not about
to defend the great unbeliever, we shall
give some curious information about
his strangeness, which at the same
time proves III contemporary in error.
On June 2lst 1876, Col. In~gersoll's
father-in-law was buried from his resi-
dence at Peoria, Ills. The body was
encoffined in a metallic casket upon
which were placed many beautiful flo
raj tributes, the last tender mementoes
Of loving friends. There was a large
attendance, and at the proper time Col.
Ingersoll made the following remarks:
Friends and n~eighbors: To fulfil }
promise made years ago, it is necessar
for me to say o few words. He whom
we are about to lay in the earth, was
gentle, kind, and loving in his life. He
was ambitious only to live with those
uo losCu. lac WIS uoSpitstDic, Scucl-
GUS, and sincere. He loved his friends
and the friend of his friends. He re-
turned good for good. He lived the
life of a child, and died without leaving
in the memory of his family the record
of an unkind act. Without assurance
and without fear, We give him back,
as it were, to nature, the source and
mother of us all. Friend, husband,
father, fare thee welli
At the conclusion of these remarks
the friends took a farewell look at the
face of the departed. When the ceme-
terry was reached, and just before the
body was consigned to earth, Col. In
gersoll again spoke, in a most earnest
and affecting manner, as follows:
With morn, with noon, with night;
with changing clouds and changeless
stars-with grass, with trees, and birds;
with leaf and bud; with flower and
poisoning vine; with all the sweet in
fluences Of nature, we leave u dead.

FEW men so soon after admission to
congress have made such '.ten-strike''
as Senator Chandler did in his speech
on the proposition to pension JEFF
Davis. Already over 300, 900 copies OF
it have been ordered at the government
printing Office for general circulation.
While 1t is not strictly a campaign doc
ument, it is a plea for republican pa
triotism fully in harmony with the dy-
ing speech of Senator Douglas: "There
"a be but two parties-patriots and
traitors" and we all know which party
JEFF Davis represents.

THERE Is a feeling over the country

THERE is a feeling over the country
akin to relief, that the present congress
will not attempt any hostile legislation
that is, any that is Objectionable or in
furious to the masses. 1t is believed, too,
that public opinion, with its restrain
ing influence, has had much to do with
guaranteeing this much to the country.
Republican politicians, however, will
not seriously complain, If the democrats
follow the full bent Of their over turn
ing desires; for it will "make assurance
doubly sure" in the presidential ace in
80, when a ''solid northn is bound to
win.

A WASHINGTON correspondent says:
Northern democrats in both houses
think southern men are asking and get
ting something than their share
of places" But then they haven't had
a chance for eighteen years-no won
der they hunger for ''spoils;" besides
the south is the democracy. The con-
federates Of the last decade are the
democrats of to-day. AS a matter OF
conrse democratic ascendency means
the lions share of the offices for the

ter Lancaster, with a square, in the
middle. His fathers name was Charles
Cameron, and in 1908 he left Maytown
with his family and family effects, for
Sunbury, Northumberland county, by
way of the Susquehanna river, Sem
barking at what was then known as
Vinegar ferry, and proceeding by a sys-
TEN of boating up the river which is
now one of the lost arts. His grand
fathers name was Simon Cameron,
who with his brother, John Cameron,
came from the Highland of Scotland
about the beginning of the revolution,
In company with a Presbyterian clergy
man named Colin MacFarquahar; he
took to preaching at Donegal church,
and the Camerons became farmers on
shares, on the ''glebe" land belonging
to the church. This is a tie which it
| is very natural should attach Gen. Cam
eron to Donegal, but it is not generally
known that there is another which
makes him feel warmly toward the
whole country. His mothers name
was Martha Pfoutz, a daughter of Con-
rad Pfoutz, who resided near Stasburg,
in the neighborhood Of which many of
| the Pfoutz descendants are yet found,
| and where a farm once owned by Mrs.
Cameron's great-grandfather vas held
| by the descendants until within the
past year, when it passed out of the
family.
The Pfoutzes were Huguenots, and
! came to America, as did most of the
continental German emigrants- that
they might enjoy religious liberty. Con-
| rad Pfoutz, the father Of Gen. Gamer
| on's mother, was a companion of the
celebrated Sam Brady, famed for his
daring in all wars of his time, from the
unfortunate expedition of Arnold
against Quebec to the end of the revo-
luton. Very recently, speaking about
his mothers family, the general said to
the writer: 81 have my g~randmother's
| German bible, which she left me will
her blessing, when she was 81 years Of
age, with $50 to help me along in the
world. Your aunt, Mrs. Mehaffey,
used to say that all the good | have
came from the Pfoutzes. 1 am inclined
to believe, myself, that all the good
have came from the teachings of my
mother and her mother, and very much
