has been found more significant of wrong
than the notorious circular of the Demo.
cratic campaign committee of 1876, in
which they advise parade of Demo
cratic clubs on horseback, and their march
ing as organized bodies to the "central rem
dezvous," for the purpose of impressing
negroes with the sense of their united
strength. The recommendation Of systematic
warning to negroes that "we have the means
TO carry the election and we mean to use
them, 4" and the like. To ignore this as the
majority have done forces us to conclude that
the time has not yet come when fair review
Of the case and a just judgment in regard
thereto is possible.
The minority regret that the result Of the
investigation in which the taking of testi-
mony continued till the last day but one of
Congress, and is still incomplete must be a
report that in obedience to the directions of
the House a great mass of evidence has ac-
cumulated which can neither be considered
or acted upon by Congress, and the advantage
gained by the public in the daily consideration
of It, upon which the minority insisted, is the
only matter of profit to any one.

A New Theory Regarding Mummies.

Having observed that Egyptian mum
mics could be divided into two classes,
one embracing those bodies which had
been embalmed intact, and the other
including those bodies which had been
eviscerated, DR.. Gauselback, Swedish
chemist of repute and professor in the
University of Upsal, has formed the
opinion that the mummies of the first
class are not really dead, but are only
in a condition of suspended animation;
though, unfortunately for historians,
the secret of bringing them again to
life has been lost. In support of this
theory he adduces the results of his
own researches and experiments, one
of which consists of submitting a snake
to a process, the details of which are of
course kept secret, which petrifies it,
In this condition it has been laid aside
for a year or two at time, and is then
restored to life by some equally mystic
rious vivifying process. This has now
been going on about fifteen years, and
the snake does not seem to dislike it,.
DIR. Gauselback is said to have applied
to the Swedish Government for leave
to experiment on a condemned Grim
inal, the understanding being that il
the experiment is successful the Grim
inal shall receive pardon, because OF
the service thus rendered TO science,
and, possibly, to humanity. Journal

A woODoHoPPER on Lewie's Mount

astride the logs as they slid down a

woodehopper; but he finally ventured
too far, of course, and went down un-

TIE Brooklyn Presbytery acquitted the
Rev. Mr.. Talmage last week of falsehood
by vote of-25 to 20, the large majority
which was expected having been reduced
by the votes of the elders, who stood as
8 to 3 for conviction. A resolution offered
by Mr.. Rockwell was adopted, embody-
ing the result of the vote in an express
sion of opinion by the Presbytery that
Mr.. Talmage had been entirely free from
any intentional wrong. DR.. Van Dyke
presented notice of appeal to the Synod
of Long Island, signed by eight members
of the minority. Mr. Talmage then step
ped forward and addressed the Presby-
terry for half an hour in one OF his most
characteristic speeches. The Rev. Mr..
Greene and DR.. Wells replied briefly to
allusions which Mr., Talmage had made
to them, and the Presbytery adjourned.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE,

1t will be apparent to any one, who will examine
SOLID GOLD WATCH that aside from the necessary
thickness for engraving and polishing, a large pro-
portion Of the precious metal used is needed only to
stifen and hold the engraved portions In place. and
supply the necessary sOlidty and strength The sur
plus gold is actually needless so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In JAMES BOSS PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this WASTE of precious
metal is overcome, and the SAME soIIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from Onethird to one half of
the usual cost of solid cases. This process Is of the
most simple nature as follows: a plate of nickle
composition metal specially adapted to the purpose
has two plates of SOLID GOLB sOldered one on each
side The three are then passed between polished
steel rollers and the result is astrp ofheavy plated
composition from which the cases. backs, centres
bezels, &C.. are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers The gold in these cases is sufficiently thick
to admit Of all kinds Of chasing engraving and en-
amelllng the engraved cases have been carried un-
til worn perfect smooth by time and use without
removing the gold. They are for sale by all jewell
ers and each case Is warranted by SPECIAL UERTIFI
CATE, If your jeweler does not keep them. send to
HAssToz & THORPE, Sixth and Chestnut sts, Phla-
delphia, for illustrated catalogue. mAy15gy

UNIONTO WIN.

Jacob Semler of Unlontown, who fell from build
ing some time sincestrlk upon his shoulders and
sustaining an injury which left him completely para
lyzed excepting his head died at his residence last
Saturday evening On Sunday DR.. Waldron with the
assistance Of several other physicians held post
mortem examination which revealed the singular
fact that there had been complete dlslOcaton ofthe
fith and sixth bones Of the neck, and strangest OF
all a total severng Of the spinal cord. It seems al
most incredible that with the amount and severity OF
such injury he should have lived as long as he did
20 days. Much credit must be accorded o Or. Wal
dron for his excellent judgment and professional
ability displayed not only in this but also In many
cases already under his treatment and which this
and other post mOrtems sustained. His practice B
large and merits the greatest confidence.
The funeral was very largely attended and was
conducted by Revs. Groh and Beck. Universal sym.
pathy is had for the sorely bereayed widow and
children.

col DANIEL SouRBECK

Mine host Of the far.famed, yea, worldrenowned
Jourbeck House, at Alliance, Is not now the fesh,
blooming erect gentleman he was q years ago
when we first knew him. He is still good looking
man. with soul as genial and heart as big as then,
But time has taken away somewhat that bloom and
freshness; has freely sprnkled his head with gray
and white hairs the form Is less full and square,
though he Is usually on duty as formerly and always
ready TO meet and greet old friends
Well, happening in Alliance last Saturday, we
learned that on that day twentysevep years before
being May 10th, 1852 Cbl Sourbeck began serving the
public In Alliance. For more than quarter OF a
century he has beenat his post, always faithful to
duty. Witnesses to this statement can be found In
all parts OF the globe. He first opened In frame
building on the north side of the track, which was
destroyed by fire years ago, when the railway com
pany erected the present commodIous brick building
In this connection 1t will not do 10 omit mentioning
the landlady Mrs. Sourbeck, Early and late, day In
and day out year after year. has Mrs Sourbeck been
also attending to duty with her husband. In her
province she was and Is equally attentive and prom
inent. AT present and for sometime past Mrs Sour
beck spends most OF her time at New Brighton, run
ming their hotel at that place, Before removing to
Alliance, twenty-seveny years ago. Mr. and Mrs Sour
beck were widely known through their popular hotel
at New Brighton, Pa, Maythey long be spared and
allowed to continue In their usefulness,

SHALL WE HAVE FREE ELEC.
IIONS9

SHALL WE HAVE FREE ELEC-
IIONS2
The Democrats in Congress have raised
the question of the presence of the army
at elections, claiming elections shall be
free, Are they right OF wrong in this ?
Will the people sustain them2
The last bill vetoed by the fraudulent
President was entitled, "To Prevent Mil
itary Interference at Elections" This
bill passed the House and Senate by de-
Cided msjorities. The bill merely deClar-
ed that elections must be free-that the
right of the citizen to exercise the priv
ilege of voting must not be threatened by
tie menaCing presence of Federal troops.
This states the issue plainly, let Mr.
Hayes bubble as he may. His vetoes
only declare that whenever in his judg-
ment it is necessary he will employ the
army and navy to control elections.
The issue seems now to be fairly made
up-let it be fairly understood.
