. Political Organization.

Geo. H. Thomas Pest, g. A. r., Not To He
= Political Organization.
Those spirits Of the local post of the
Grand Army of the Republic who have
been designing to give that organization
partisan turn and enlist it in the cause of
the Republican candidate for president
latterly have received a couple of set backs
that will be calculated to dampcn the ardor
of their efforts in this direction. Recently
the inspector of the order in this state paid
a visit to Geo. H. Thomas post here and, re-
ferring to the manifest desire of some OF the
"best workers" to pervert it to partisan
purposes cautioned them against attempt
Ing to carry out such intention as hostile
to the spirit Of the organization, which
was formed to protect the widows and
orphans of their comrades Of the war who
comprised men of all political creeds; and
concluding with the statement that if it
came down to 4 strict test of preference
General Hancock would be found to have
a majority of the posts in his favor.
Last evening Geo. II. Thomas post held
a social gathering at their headquarters in
Bair & Shenk's banking house, Centre
square, ut which it was very generally
agreed that the influence of the post
should be lent to neither Of the political
parties, but that the original purpose
Of the order should be :: maintained
throughout this and succeeding campaigns:
that partisanship should be strictly tabooed
in the life of the organization. Refresh
ments were served, and the bold soldier
boys spent the evening in entertaining re-
citals of tales and Incidents which they
shared together around the campfire and
on the battle field.

"Uncle Toms Cabin"
The amusement season opened auspic-
iously in this city, Judging from the large
and appreciativo audience assembled at

ness tho rendition of that old standby of
"Uncle Toms Cabin, ;" by a company with

many of tho absurdities that in latter

this play through managerial devices to

susceptible of further intelligent pruning,
and the quartet of alleged Virginia Jubilee
Singers might very properly be dispensed
with, especially in view of tho fact that
their singing is not even ordinarily good,

fluences. The calcareous rocks-marbles
and limestones-yield quickly, as rule, to
atmospheric influences. In some cases
slabs have been worn down quarter OF an
inch in less than century by the superb
cial solution of rain containing carbonic
and sulphuric acids; in others, they are
found to have been disintegrated inter-
nally, SO that the very substance Of the
marble crumbles away; and in third
series of cases. where the slabs have been
inserted in framework Of solid stone, the
expansion Of the slabs has caused outward
curvature and ultimate fracture. In sand
stone the effects are more varied. When
the stone is flaggy or distinctly bedded,
and the lamination is exposed to the ac-
tion of the rain. or when the rock is not of
homogeneous composition, the destruction
has been very rapid. the flakes scaling off
and leaving raw, bare surface. Slabs of
frcestone and other unlaminated sand rocks
were, however, found to be So enduring.

"A MODERN MACBETH.

"Ha1g out our Banner ON the Outer WalIs''
Jolly Jack, OF tho Examiner. in his last
expiring efforts to hold the fort, seems de-
tcrmined to emulate the bloody Scotch
usurper. He affects to believe that "Our
castles strength will laugh siege to
scOrn,' and to show his pluck under the
most discOurascing circumstances hc gives
the command to Hang out our banners ON
the outer walls" and forthwith Ad. Dellct
and Josh Lyte hang 'cm out The one is q
homemade banner bearing the names of
"CLAY FRELINGHUYsEN AND MARKLE"

the Democracy in 1874. On the reverse Of
this banner arc the words protection

referred to the tariff Of 1912, against al
most every protective feature Of which
Garfield has voted again and again. The
other banner is silk one on which is
painted good looking woman placing a
wreath OH the brow Of bust Of Henry
Clay. Forming circle around the pic
ture arc the words 1--WE honor those who
cherish us; Our hearts are with our
wreaths." The reverse side of tho banner
shows that it was presented to the WhiS
party Of Lancaster by the Whis ladies' OF
Lancaster.
