Musk,

Musk is n concrete substance found in
an animal having a near affinity to the
deer tribe, native of Thibet, China and
Siberia. The musk deer is timid ami
nal, and rarely appears during the day;
consequently the musk collectors watch
ana surprise it nj night. The best musk
lomes froil China, and to be genuine it
should be purchased in the natural pod
or bag, as it is very often adulterated.
The Bengal musk is interior, and that
from Russia the worst of all. The hair
on the pod of the hest musk is fawn
color; that on the inferior u dirty
white. A variety of musk is found in
the muskrat Of Canada, an animal about
the size Of a small rabbit. Musk is of
a bitter taste, and of an Cdor more pow.
erful than anything known; substances
in its leighborhood become strongly
injected by it, and when once pe1fumed
with it, long retain the scent. 1t has
been known to affect chests of tea
placed ut considerable distance, even
though both had been packed up in
leadcn boxes, for which reason the East
India company gave an order not to
import musk and tea in the same ships.
Many persons dislike the odor. It has
the property, when employed in very
small quantities, of augmenting the
scent Of other substances, without i'm
parting its own.

Great cry WAS raised against him be

A man who remains true to his friends
in an emergency, such as came to MIR.
Conkling, has, in our estimation the very
hest elements OF manhood and his con-
victions are entitled 20 every respect and
consideration. Mr. Arthurs conduct
since the shooting Of the President occur

shown the depth Of feeling the man IS
capable Of.
In the whole range of our country :

in danger from his administration, or
that Mr.. Conkling will dictate Arthur $

Guiteau's Punishment.
The New Jersey Law Covers hi> Case


The question as 10 whether 'uiteau

degree As the late president died outside
the District of Columbia is now settled,
and decided that the case is trIable ioi
murder in New Jersey. The following
statute Of that state, passed in 1877, seems
to cover the case.
SECTION rs. Where any person shall DE iei"-
niously stricken or poisoned upon the sea "a
at any place out of the jurisdiction "i thiS
state. and shall die Of the same stroke or poiS
oninr within the jurisdiction If this state, or

diction of this state in either Of said cases ar

which such death stroke er poisoning shall

well against the principal OF principals In an,
such murder as against the accessory or acces,

From the above it appears that no loop
hole is left for Guiteau If justice failed
him at Washington he would get taste
of "Jersey justice, " which would be quite
as effective as any administered III the

THE FUNERAL.
4 Fatal FIRE.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, February 23.-
Intelligence has been received here
of a confagration at East Liverpool,
Ohio, at half-past one o'clock this
morning, by which a family of eight
pe.sQp named Sloan were burned to
death.
About the time stated flames were
seen issuing from the four-story
frame building owned by Frank
Stewart and occupied as a drugstore,
feed store, grocery and dwelling, the
proprietor of the drug store. William
Sloan, with his family living in the
latter portion. As soon as the
flames were discovered by Mr.. Sloan
he awoke all, and telling them to
follow, picked up his three-year old
daughter and started for the stairs.
The flames had cut off their retreat
by this time, however, and turning TO
@ window he leaped out, telling his
wife 10 do likewise. 1t is supposed
that before Mrs. Sloan or the Others
had time to follow his advice they
were overcome by stiiiiing fumes
from the drug store. as not one of
them escaped. The building burn
ed like tinder, and having numerous
elevators to the upper floors, which
opened a pathway for the flames,
it was soon in ruins. 4 search for
the bodies was began at an early
hour this morning, and soon ali
were recovered. They were charred
beyond recognition, and it Vas only
by the size of the remairs that the
grown persons were distinguished
from the children. The scene about
the burning building to-day was
sorrowful in the extreme, and all
that are left of family of ten are
the father and one daughter, whom
he carried with him when he made
the leap. The FIRE started in the
drug store, and is supposed to nave
been incendiary. The loss Will
reach $4,000 and is fully insured.

Personal and Political Career Of SEN
ator Mitchell.

Hon. John |. Mitchell is a mem
Der Of the present Congress. IIe re.
sides in Wellsboro, Tiora county
He was born in Tioga county, July
%, 1888. He spent his boyhood
upon his fathers farm. He reoeiv-
ed a common schonl education and
private instruction, and passed some
time at the University of Lewisburg,
Pa, in 1857 to 1859, but did not
graduate. He taught school for a
while, and when the was broke out
he el tered the service, serving first
as a Lieutenant and afterwards as a
Captain in the 136th Regiment,
under Col. Thomas N. Bayne, and
made q record worthy of q soldier,
He was admitted to the bar of his
native county in 1864 and has since
been one of lis leading members,
being interested in most of the i'm
portant cases. He was elected Dis
trict Attorney of the county in 1868,
serving three years. He edited the
Toga C5unty Agitator during the
year 1870. He was a member of
the State House of Representatives
five years, from 1872 to 1876, inclu-
sive, served as Chairman of the Ju-
dietary General and Ways and
Means Committees. His abilities
made him the leader of the House
whilst he served in that body.
When he was elected District
Attorney he succeeded MF, Niles,
and when he was elected to the
Legislature he also succeeded that
gentleman, who is now among his
most ardent supporters and warmest
personal and political friends. Dur
ing his career in the Legislature he
was prominently named for The
Speakership, bnt modestly gaveway
for Others.
In 1876, when he was still III the
Legislature, and without solicita
ton on his part, he was elected to
Congress from his district-the Six
teenth. He had been put up by
the people irrespective Of party, and
was elected without opposition. IN
1878 he was unanimously re-nomi-
mated, and reelected, the vote being
l,135 for him, against 5,Sl9 for
Smith, a Democrat, and 1854 for
Davis, a Greenbacker. In 1880 he
wrote a letter, copied oil over the
State, saying lie was too poor to
stand the expense of third term,
and his declination was reluctantly
accepted-so that his membership
in the lover hGqse ceases on March
Sd. He viii now, all unsolicited by
himself. be elevated to a higher seat,
and viii doubtless sustain as a SEN
ator the record he has madei in other
positions.
Personally, he is said TO be man
Of very high character, and one
whose social relations are Of the
happiest nature.

srALwART VICTORY.

We have joyful newg fer our read
ers to dav. The Senatorial dead
lock. after the bitter contention of a
month. has been broken, and a stall
wart Republican has been elected to
succeed Senator Wallace. Hon John
|. Mitchell, of Tioga county, at pres
ent a member of Congress for the
Sixteenth district, has been chosen.
The news of this selection will make
clad the hearts of the real friends of
Republicanism, and insures the
party of the State against divided
councils in the Senate of the United
States. During all the long weeks
inwhich the fight has ragged so fierce
ly, the effort has been made by those
bolters, who were not seeking their
own election, TO secure as a colleague
for Senator Cameron one who would
not only antagonize him personally,
but also one who, ike they, would
vote for and with Republicans only
when some pet scheme of their own
was to be benefited, or some dainty
fellow of "culchaw" was to be ad-
vanced to a place for which neither
God nor nature ever intended him.
We thank Heaven that this danger
has been escaped. We rejoice most
sincerely and with unalloyed glad
ness that the choice has fallen upon
a man about whose stalwart Repub-
licanism even the spirit of a Stevens
or a Chandler cannot doubt, one
who, in the language of Mr.. Conk-
ling. has never ''apologized for be-
ing stalwart Republican" Too
honest to be moved by spleen and
spite. too great to be the dGpe Of the
little creatures who would sacrifice

Hoy. on the independents.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-Last
summer the President and Mrs
Hayes enjoyed the hospitalities OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Parrish, Mr..
and Mrs. Conyngham and Govern
or and Mrs. Hoyt at Wilkesbarre.
To day the gentlemen and ladies
above mentioned took dinner at the
White house. This morning the
Governor expressed his views on the
result of the Senatorial contest at
Harrisburg TO the Press correspon-
dent. "What do YOU think of the
nomination of Mr.. Mitchell?" asked
the correspondent.
Il am satisfied" said the Govern
or. Mr.. Mitchell is stalwart r.
publican and a very good man
Affairs had assumed such a shape in
the Legislature that it was a relief
to see anybody unanimously chosen
as Mr. Wallacc's successor. The
boilers at Harrisburg have made a
great mistake. They will find in a
few months what q blunder they
have committed. There are two
kinds of Republicans in.the country,
almost as different from each other
as Republicans and Democrats.
Unless the will of the majority is
respected the party will be split
asunder. 1t has been in the power
Of Charley Wolfe and a faction Of
soreheads to imperil the prospects
of the party in Pennsylvania The
difficulty is nov settled, and in q
few months the boilers Will see how
wrong they have been"
