A Long Session.

Once, tourist who, happening to be
at Lisbon, was present at sitting of the
Cortes. The Lower Chamber were de-
batting the clauses of a bill for reimburs-
ing provincial postmaster, whose mules
had been stolen by gang of gypsies.
The traveller left the Tagus and sailed to
Callao; thence he went to Paraguay,
and some months later he was in Cali
fornia. He crossed the American conti-
nent to New York, then proceeded to
England, and at the expiration of about
eighteen months he turned up again at
Lisbon, where he found the Cortes still
gravely celebrating over the bill indem-
nifying the postmaster of Trases-Montes
for the loss of his mules; the moral Of
which manifestly is that Portugal, al
though SO peaceful and SO prosperous
that she is scarcely ever heard of, is
an extremely sluggish and backward
country.

A PRAYER,

Out alone in the dim, misty cleaning,
When restfully sleeps the dead day.
While shadows, like nuns, gather round her,
And weave her a shroud of soft gray;
When the sky seems caressed by the tree-tops,
As though, like home-yearning child,
Earth had reached out her arms unto heaven,
And heaven, low-bendng, replied;
Thus, lingering, l stand till enraptured,
My spirit seems soaring from earth,
Reaching out for some token responsive
From the mystical land of its birth.
And l whisper, " o God light within me
The spark from thine own radiance caught, "
And deep in my soul stirs the answer
The germ of some exquisite thought

A Hint.

Young Fred, bashful yet persistent swain,
Was very much in love with Mary Jane.
One night she told him in her tenderest tone,
ut is not good for man TO be alone"
Said Fred, "Jest so, you darling little elf,
I've often thought of that same thing myself
Then said the lass, while Fred was all agog,
"You ought to buy yourself terrier dog"
He took the hint and left.

think I must have fallen into deep
sleep on the sofa in my boudoir; for l
became gradually conscious that my
hand lay in something soft and warm !;
and then opened my eyes, and they fell
upon the noble face of my lover. He
was kneeling beside me. He told me
briefly how he had escaped, and how
he had fallen in with some of his uhlans
on the road; then, riding on to Avron-
diere, he had full power given him to
retake the town.
"Fadette," l said-"where is she?"
II scarcely know. / think Rupert
said she came in his way and was killed"
answered Ernst.
AS soon as papa could be moved we
went to Avrondiere under an escort, sent
by the general himself, and there | was
made great heroine of-why, l could
not see-and all the officers formed quite
a court, of which / was the queen; and
Ernst did not mind this homage. Papa,
of course, could make no opposition to
our betrothal; and indeed from that
oma turned quite round, and said the
uhlans were brave fellows. When peace
was proclaimed, we were married in
Berlin; and very exalted parsonage
gave me away. His English wife en-
braced me warmly, and said all sorts Of
nice things to me. Ernst had a long
leave of absence, and took me all over
the Continent.

AIRY DALE AGAIN.

The Ghost OF the Organ Will not Down.
Many Of our readers no doubt, remem-
Der the trouble at Airy Dale school house,
Penn twp, caused by parlor organ being
put into the school house by the patrons
of the school and put out by the school
directors, and finally thrown into all aban-
doned quarry or mine filled with water.
AS the directors were determined not to
tolerate the organ, and the patrons equally
determined to have it, the latter some time
ago made application to have erected an in
dependent school district out Of that part
ofPenp township in which Airy Dale school
is located. A commission was appointed to
report on the advisability OF the new district
and reported in favor of erecting a new
district embracing about one tenth of the
area of Penn township. The old directors
and some other citizens entered a remons-
trance, and yesterday Alderman Barr was
engaged in taking the depositiOns of
the remonstrants. The burden of
their objections appears to be
that a large proportion Of the wealthy men
and heavy taxpayers of the township re-
side within the limits of the proposed new
district, and that if the division is made,
the support of the schools in the remain
ing part of the township would require a
heavier rate of taxation than is now paid,
and that this would be burdensome t. the
poorer class of Taxpayers.

Celebrating the Twenty-flfth Anniversary Of

Yesterday the Gar saw the end of the
twenty-tifth year of his rule, and the Rus

letter from the Emperor William, counter
signed by Prince Bismarck, congratulate
ing the Gar in terms of warm and earnest
friendship on the twenty fifth anniversary
of his accession to the throne, and on his
escape from injury by the recent explosion
in the Winter Palace. The Emperor Will
liam expresses his qualification that the
friendship which united their fathers has
been maintained, and his confidence that
it will continue unchanged to the end of
his life.
St. Petersburg was gaily decorated, and
the day observed as a general holiday. At
ten o'clock vast crowds assembled before
the Winter Palace. The troops massed in
the central quadrangle of the palace and
immediate vicinity. The programme of
the ceremonies, heretofore given, was ex-
ecuted. The Gar appeared on the balcony
of the palace, where he remained twenty
minutes, saluting the multitude, amid
great enthusiasm.
After the Gar had received the con-
gratulatiOns of an enormous crowd at the
palace he drove out in an open carriage
and was loudly and continuously checred
in the crowded streets through which he
passed. Up to evening no disturbance
whatever occurred.

j. W. JOHNSON.
LANCASTER March 2 1880.
Remarks by John A. Hiestand, ESQ.
Certainly. We would not misrepresent
you for small world. We had no idea
that the Chicago convention in any way
endangered your candidacy. Don't dis
tress your sensitive soul on that subject.
By all means don't let Tom Davis frighten
you off the track. Don't change your
course as to how the county shall be repre-
Sented at Chicago. 1t does not not depend
on your being candidate for district at
tOrney. 1t may not he very important to
the people whether you are district attor-
ney or not. but think of yourself.
1t was such nice "plum,' for
three years, and the loss of it for three
years only adds to its prospective delicious
ness. Rather than have you with
draw, we would be willing to help you
''on the question of representation" Be-
sides there cannot be too many good men
running for good Offices and in choosing we
always like to go for the "best man. y
Think of us before you withdraw. Rather
call on us and we may help you start a
'boom" for johnson for district attor-
ney. We will sacrifice anything almost
rather than have you "change" or with
draw. Don't you do it, either, John.
Just you tell Tom Davis and Adam Eber-
ly that if they expect to reach the office of
district attorney they must reach it over
your "bloodless body We implore you
to stick Patriots are scarce who are
willing to sacrifice what you offer to do.
Don't you do it. Saying you are ''will.
ing" is just as good as if you had done it
you see!

The telegraph War.

The monopoly which the Western
Union telegraph company has for many
years succeeded in maintaining seems
about to end, through the efforts of a
strong combination of capitalists to Sc
cure pasture in the rich field. The one
party is just as selfish as the other and
neither has any solicitude for the inter
ests of the public !; but in this competi-
tion the public are sure to reap the
benefit of cheap telegraphing, and will
therefore look on with complacence
at the war. The Western Union is
entitled to no sympathy since it
has taken out of it's business all it
could get and has piled up the capital, on
which it demands a dividend, by syste-
matically buying up every opposition
project that got it's head far enough
above water to be formidable. There is
class of men who have grown rich by
their many successful attempts to start
companies for the only purpose of com.
pelling the monopoly to buy them out.
The telegraph companies that have

the Western Union at large profit
to their projectors may be numbered by
the score and the consequence is that
the purchasing company finds itself now
with an immense capital, many times
greater than the cost at which it's lines
can be reproduced, and forced to meet
the competition of a new and vigorous Or
ganizatiOn which, as it is supported by
men of mealls and influence, is strong
enough to attempt the overthrow of the
old company and will find greater profit
i'm making the effort than in selling out
out to it. The prospect seems fair that
this time the competition with the old
monopoly will he sustained, to the great
advantage of the public.

Monthly Tobacco Report.

The monthly report of the tobacco trade.
issued March 1, by J. S. Gans's Son & Co.,
New York, is at hand. The amount of
Spanish tobacco on hand is put down at
80, $40 bales, nearly all Havana. Transac-
tions in Kentucky tobacco foot up $500
hhds., of which 5000 are for export, chiefly
to Spain and Italy-receipts of new crop
small. Prices for light Kentucky range
from 4 to 12 cents, and for heavy from 444
to IA cents. From Virginia, reports are
encouraging, the market being active for
old and new tobaccos, prices ranging from
3 cents for the commonest lugs to 154 cents
for black wrappers. Maryland and Ohio
are reported quiet, but holders are firm in
their demands. Seed leaf transactions
have been extremely dull in New York.
/" Lack of fassortments, together with the
absence of nearly all our principal
operators (who are at the var
ious places of production }, have
combined to give our market u holi-
day appearance" Running lots of Ohio
are being taken for Germany. 9: For con-
sumption Pennsylvania crop of 1878 is
being slowly absorbed, and i'll the interior
all low-priced lots have been taken out of
packers hands. Activity prevails in 1879
crop all through the producing states"
Sales for the month are reported at 1876
cases, of which /, $50 cases were Pennsyl-
vania. Prices for the crop of 1878 are
quoted at from IA to 40 for New Eng
land wrappers, and from 6 to IA for Sec
onds and filters. Pennsylvania is quoted
at from 16 to 35 for wrappers IL to 90 for
assorted lots and from 81 to 1O4 for filters.
The export Of seed leaf since January 1st
is 1882 cases as against 1913 cases to the
same time last year. Advices from Ha-
vana are more cheerful regarding the new
crop. Trade has been light in manufac-
tured tobaccos.

a conference meeting is announced for the
10Th inst, at which the microscope, the
philosophy of its constitution, and the
manner of it's operation, will be explained
