PEACHES FOR THE MILLIOS-THE STATE
FAIR, ETC.
PHLADELPHIA, July 1s, 1880.
To the Editor of the Cambria Freeman
Your correspondent was prevented from
sending his weekly contribution for the last
issue by complication of causes He was
not only greatly enervated by the excessive
hot weather but suffered from neuTagia and
rheumatism, had the toothache, stomach ache
and was otherwise not very well himself. He
was indeed in a very demoraliZed condition
To make his unpleasant position still more
+ unpleasant, an arrogant real estate agent had
the cffrOnteTy to make offensive inSinuatiOnS
about arrearages of house rent. Your cor
respondent could have staggered under this
heavy burden and dished up something for
the FREEMAN, had it not been for the utter
ance of two simple words, mere mOnOSylableS
by small boy. Your correspondent has had
during his long pilgrimage through the world
many unpleasant encounters with men and
women, but never was he so sOrely diScom-
fitted as in this instance by a mere child
Never before were my tender feelings so ter
ribly lacerated and my sensitive nature so Sc
Yerely shocked.
HOW THE BOY SHOCKED ME.
He is a bright, handsome little boy, the son
of my neighbOT, and he told me that his papa,
an ugly, bad man, had fight about Sena-
tor, and he asked me if | would please tell
him what a Senator was and what il looked
like. Being all my life happy to mpart in
formation, when requested to do so, | com
menced to describe that great functionarV to
the boy. l told him that the average Senator
was "A man with a full stomach, false teeth,
n bald head, and generally past the meridian
of life, who stood with gouty insecurity on
his slender legs, but who, when seated at the
bottom of that architectural ''punch bowl
called the Senate Chamber. surrounded by
crowd of to him admiring humanity, he felt
as if he had not lived in vain. told him that
a Senator was man of such great dignity
lf ImnTpSSpd hp
sleeps in Roman tOga for a night-Shrt and
with a Liberty cap for night cap. and never
for moment losing the pose of a statesman.
The boy listened to me, as | thought, with
great respect and attention, and | was feeling
intensely happy-indecd proud-that | was
competent to describe the great functionary
so perfectly, and imagined the sensitive little
heart of the dear little boy was swelling with
admiration of a Senator, when to my great
astOniShment and intense modification, the
boy turned on his heel and in the most con-
temptuous manner blurted out, "OH sH-!'
-amc, where Is thy blush?
BUCHANAN's DOCTORS.
The crime against society which John Blu
Chanan, of this city, has pcrpetrated, the ex-
DOSure of which is solely due to the unSparing
efforts of the Record, Is one of the most awful
that can be conceived. The crime of sending
forth ignorant and vicious charlatanS and
arming them with authority which places
them in the most sacred relations with suffer
ing humanity, is horrible to contemplate.
There are over 1000 bogus diplomas from
Buchanan = institution scattered throughout
the world. The amount of fraud which Bu-
chanan has pcrpetrated Is almost incalcula-
BILE. The Record has revealed the fact of
bogus Medical Eclectic Association with
branches III almost every State. i'm which di-
plOm1S are sold for s.. To the Record the
credit Is due for the exposing of the length
and breadth of this offending Buchanans
practices were most dctestabc and utterly
wicked, and no man could be brought in con
tact with the hypocrisy and yillainy cf Bu-
chanan'S ScandaiOus establishment.
\ DIVISION or THE STATE.
Some time ago / spoke of a project being
in view about a division of the State. and
which, it seems, was not a mere surnsc of
my own, for now it appears that there is a
scheme on the part of number of leading
Republican politicians throughout this com
monWcalth To divide it into two States, think
ing that both would be Republican. The
Susquehanna river is to form the natural
boundary between the two States and the
next session of the Legislature Is expected to
complete the work Many of the Republican
leaders are in favor of the division. because
the parties who have this scheme in hand
have made an estimate of the political COM
pleXiOn of both commonwealth and find that
both Will be Republican. They have taken
the Presidential election of 1876 as a basis
but after the Presidential election of 1880 they
will have to change their base.
THAT FAMOUS sKIRNIsHISG FUND.
There appears to he good deal of skir-
miShing to find out anything about that IA
nous Irish ,kirmshing fund which Is believed
at this time to aggregate 500, 900. The trus-
tees decline to make any explanation as to .
the disposition of the money. or whether any .
of it Is left or not They have learned that
silence Is golden. This is not the skirmishing /
that was originally intended.
MAJOR MOSES vEALE
In my last letter l stated that Major Moses /
Neue was the first man in PENNSYLVANIA to .
publicly declare in favor of Gen. fIancock'S
nomination for the Presidency, and when one .
hndS politician who stands high in all the .
requirements and attributes of perfect man

ton and intrepid gallantry he Is apt to MAKE
a note OF II, and hence take this occasion To
say tiat Major Neaie is the hero of twenty
natJleN IN every one OF, which ne displayed .
great galiantry and became cOnSpiruoIIs for
intrepid courage. From first to last through
al TIE dangerous vlCiSSitudeS of the war of the
rebellion, he was ever found where death and
Danger ragged the herccst. He acted not, as
many others did, to let the opportunity of one
battle suffice him, but on every occasion ex-
Ilblted the most daring and conspicuous gal .
lantry until his name became provcTbiaI i'm .
the old White Star Division aS the SYNONYM
OF all that was fearless and daring. He was
severely wounded in battle. and at Pine Knob :
a ball passed entirely through his body and .
rl9ht lung, from which it was thought he /
couid never recover. This occurred in June,
ana IN November ne was again with his com
mand. lie was early and permanently at
tachCd to the staff of Gen John W Gca1y
and was in every fight in which that division
participated. Cen Gcary characterized him
Is the 'hraycst of the brave" and General
Kane made mention of him with high com
for galGntrV, while Gen Hooker
ana Slocum especially referred to his SoldierIy
qualities and marked galantry in their re-
ports. His name has also been mentioned
l3aln and again with strong Recommendations
IN General Orders Besides being a distip
5tuslrcd soldier, Major Ncalc is ripe scholar
a fine orator, an able lawyer man of great
lloIaI worth, SpoteSS integrity of character
and withal modest man.
FROM GORE TO GLORY.
The announcement the other dav that the

New ork OF ChaStTne Cox. the murderer of 1
Mrs. Hun, brought to mind the report made
some time ago that the soul of that cold .
