The financial indications for the ap
proaching day of general settlements
and real estate transfers in Lancaster
county, betoken an easy condition of the
money market. Gradually first-class real
estate securities throughout this com
munity have been reduced to a five per
cent. rate Of interest, and in many cases,
no doubt, good loans are made at four.
In the banks there is abundance of
money and parties holding we'll secured
mortgages or judgments are very loatll
to transfer them or to accept payment
even if they have to submit to reduced
interest. Although the tobacco crop
was delayed in moving, the sales have
been very extensive of late and at good
prices, and growers do not seem to have
been pinched or distressedto find a mar
ket and money. To the cultivation of
this staple and the remarkable remuner-
alton Of their labors, our farmers owe a
great deal Of their prosperity in the past
ten years. While many of them have been
greatly relieved financially from this
source of income, the aggregate value
Of real estate and permanent taxable
property in the county has been in
creased by the application Of this rev.
enue to improvements in farm lands and
buildings.

SENATORIAL FIsTlCUrFS.

A knOck-Down Argument Between Repre-.
sentative Kneass and senator Smith.
Harrisburg Dispatch to the Times.
Senator George Handy Smith and Rep.
resentative Christian Kneass got into a Sc
rious difficulty at the Lochiel house about
2 O'Clock yesterday morning and finally
came to blows with disastrous results to
the senator. The quarrel grew out of a
difficulty between the two men at the time
of the withdrawal of Oliver from the sena.
fight and the substitution of GIN.
Beaver. Kneass questioned the methods
taken to force Beaver on the Republicans
as a candidate for senator and Senator
Smith denounced him as "a marplot'' in
the face of the regular caucus in the state
library. Kneass took no notice of the
offensive taunt of Smith at that time pre-
ferring that the matter should drop where
it was. Last night the two met in the
room Of a friend, and in the presence OF a
number of the acquaintances of the sena.
tor, Smith again Extensively alluded to
Kneass's attitude toward the stalwart ele.
ment of the Republican party. Kneass
declined to have his conduct criticised by
the senator, and resented the interference
SO emphatically that Smith became en-.
ragged and struck at him. Kneass struck
back and a short but decisive fight en-
sued, in which the senator was SO sever:y
punished that he has not been able to
leave his room since. KUeass was in
his seat in the House as usual.
Mr.. Kneass visited Senator Smith in his
room yesterday and peace is restored.

SOMEBODY in the Independent, discuss.
ing the tobacco problem. pleads elo-
quently against its culture, partly on
the ground that it is "besom of de-
struction' which renders the lands sub
ject to it "eyesores, odious barrens,
looking as though blasted 10y some ge-
MUS of evil" The impression here con-
veyed is very general one, enforced by
the experience of Virginia and Maryland
tobacco farmers, whose neglectful sys-
TEN and not the mere raising of tobacco
thus desolated their lands. Here in Lam
caster county, where wiser modes prevail
and farmers prudently restore the soil,
tobacco culture has not by any means
depressed the lands, and the best contin-
ing farms in this section are those
whereon tobacco has been most exteE-
sively and continuously raised.

OBITUARY.

Tho De.,t: "f James buchanan johnston
to give stronger public expression Of our
sympathy with MIR. aud Mrs. Johnston,
than time and circumstances permitted at
the moment when the sad news Of their
eldest SON death first came to us. The
deep griet OF all who know tho honorcd
family, and who in this community
does not know thom y is not easily por-
trayed III words. We, ourselves, have
known them in their OutsOinss and in
comings, and can appreciate the awful loss
which they have suffered in the death of a
member who gave the promise Of so much
good to them. But We can do NO better
than to publish the following, which it
may be needless for us to say is from the
pen and heart Of Judge Black:
have just rctur red from tho funeral Of
James Buchanan Johnston, affected by 4
deeper sense OF bereavement than any
death outside of my own immediate fam
lily has caused me in many years. 1t is
strange that we cannot get hardened to
these calamities in the course OF time Or,
at least. learn to accept some measure Of
consolation when our friends are fatally
stricken. But human philosophy, how
we'll so ever it may be strengthened by
trials, is pOwerless to save our equanimity
in cases like this. The overwhelming
grief Of that beloved mother and tho
awful break down Of the proud fathers
spirit cannot even be thought Of without
strong emotion. Besides that had built
much hope of my own upon the future Of
that bright and beautiful boy. He was
gifted with uncommon talents so we'll cul.
tivated, and developing SO rapidly, that
even at the age Of fourteen he was intel
lectualIy full grown man. With moral
principles clearly defined and quick per-
ceptions o! the right his sense Of justice
and his love Of truth would have given
him h dignity ot character not surpassed
by that of his illustriOus uncle But
these visions Of Il moment are faded for
ever and we can only sigh for the touch
of vanished hand" and listen in vain
g for the sound Ola voice that is still,'

The peculiarities of the Russian So
eialists are that they are largely drawn
from the higher ranks of life and the ed
ucated classes; that they avow their pur.
poses with singular frankness and even
proclaim their identity, with an almost
fanatical zeal for martyrdom and the
freqency with which women appear as
leaders in the cause of social and politi.
cal anarchy. 1t must be peculiar social
conditions that give rise to these singu-
larities, and is likely that the recent
events transpiriLg in that county will
make it the focus of an intelligent in
vestigation which the Russian character
and modes have not yet received.

lSOerl0n:l Beauties.

Such even of the bellies as have had theil
manners polished and their minds en-.
larged by travel in Natal and a visit to
the ''city'' (namely. Maritzburg) seem tc
fling aside the embarrassing trappings OF
civilization wheh they return to the paren-
tai roof. Not that l would be understood
to hint that the Boer maidens could DO
guilty of such an improperly in its most
literal sense far from it. Beneath the
orange trees aud blue gums of the paren-
tial residence the lovely ladies continue to
bloom in all the brilliant hues of the most
glaring red and yellow cotton dresses
which Manchester can produce. By the
side Of bevy of young BOeresses a tulip
bed is dingy indeed, and even red and yel-
low poppies would have enough to do to
hold their own against the masses of color
with which these coy damsels love to decor
ate themselves. None of your neutral
tints or paltry touches of color here and
there for your genuine Dutch Boeress a;
but the brightest scarlet or orange
will serve her turn, and good
solid mass of it, too. A fine
stout calico dress of a strong pink or blue,
with bonnet in the complementary hues
of green and orange, form one of those neat
and Harmonious toilettes which make a
party of Boer girls vision of startling
splendor to the sober Britisher. This style
of dress has the advantage, moreover, of
enabling the wearer to be visible almostas
far as the flash of the heli0graph, until she
is actually-if one may use the expression
hull down the horizon. 1t is fortunate
for the ladies that, considering the not
very chastened character Of their taste in
dress, nature has endowed them with a
brilliancy and purity Of complexion which
not even the forcible coloring of their raj
ment can avail to kill. The pure red and
white of their round cheeks, and dazzling
fairness of their threats, surpass even the
famed complexion Of England, and are
only retained by the strictest care on the
part of their buxom owners. The thickest
of wells and the most nun-like of forehead
and chin bands are worn whenever there
is the slightest chance of exposure to the
outer air and as for the sun, he is never
allowed to imprint even the most fugitive
kiss on the blooming cheeks of the bellies
of Boerland. On the occasions of the Pc
riodical visits to the towns to attend the
" Nacht mahl," or sacrament of their
church, the groups of veiled beauties peer
ing from the wagons give the Boer the
aspect of q Turk travelling with his harem.
Nor by all accounts was the engaging mai |
vete of these houris calulated to inspire |
ought save terror to the British breast.

A Needle which exaggerated . Lahy's Foot
Works ltself 0as Of Her Child.
The Louisville CSusier-J -J6urna! says A
most extraordinary natural accident, and
ons for the discussion Of physicians, came
to light q few days ago, in which needle
taken into the foot Of . lady nine years
ago worked out of the thigh Of her third
child, !: baby OF one year. The lady in
question is the wife Of Mr.. Harry Isaacs,
the cisarmaker, who lives on Market
street near Wenzel. At the time Of the
accident Mrs. Isaacs was unmarried and
was then Miss Pauline CObleBs. The
needle was encountered in a carpet pene-
trating her foot tho full length. A physi-
clan was called in Immediately, but the
needle could not Be found, although it was
known to be id the foot. She suffered great
pain, and for four months was unable to
leave her bed. During that period three
physicians mads frequent attempt to ex-
tract the needle, and the knife was used
extensively, however, without success.
Miss Coblens was quite fleshy before tho
accident, but fell, of greatly from her
long confinement At length she was
able to get about with the aid of crutches,
but she continued to suffer from the needle.
The pain decreased gradually from the time
she was able to get about and she regained
her former fleshiness. Finally she felt the
needle only at period when there was
change in the weather. The movement OF
the needle seemed to be upwards, and the
point was not stationary but moved with
the needle. About five years ago she was
married to Mr.. Harry Isaacs. Three
children are the fruit Of that union,
the youngest of which is boy
named Arthur, who is about year old.
The pain which troDbled the mother left
her even before the birth of her child, and
the total disappearance of the pain she was
wont to feel was q subject Of remark and
pleasure to her. On Monday week ago her
baby, who had since its birth manifested Il
kindly disposition, was very restless and
cried increasingly all night. The cause Of
the child's ailment was not discovered
the following morning, when in giving it
a bath the mother discovered something
black protruding through the skin of the
child's thigh. She caught hold of it, and
was frighted when she found the thing of
resisting substance. She, however, used
little force, and soon extracted the
dark object. Imagine her surprise
when she found it was needle, black and
carrOded. The eye broke off in her hand
while examining it. The recollection OF
the needle, which her much. pain, came
wildly before the mother, and she felt
keenly for the child. The remembrance
of her relief from the pain also forced
itselfupon the mother, and the connection
of the two served as clue az to how the
needle came to get in the child's thigh.
The mother says it would be almost i'm
possible for the child to have taken up
tho needle without her finding it ont, as
the child would have made it known in
piteous cries, as lie did when the needle
worked out.

THE LIE AF,
Tobacco In tho Cumberland Valley

Tobacco In tho Cumberland Valley.
Correspondence of the INrELL1GENCER.
MECHANICsBURG, March 81.
One of your rural itemizers took trip
up the Cumberland valley as far as this
borough by rail ; then several miles into
the country to the southwest, through a
thriving limestone district. A few notes
in reference to the tobacco culture may
prove of interest to tho many readers of
the INTELLIGENCER.
Three years ago tobacco raising was in
its infancy. In August, '7S, Oh trip
from here to Sl,ephardstown, VIC remem-
Der Of seeing only one Or two patches, and
no sheds. Since then number of houses
have been erected, among them some
that will hold rs much as
five and six acres. While tho
sheds are yet inferior to those re-
Gently erected in Lancaster county, they
answer tho requirements to good ex-
tent. They arc partly under cellar, and in
the ones erected last summer in the man.
ner Of ventilation there is much improve
ment. They have tobacco ladders, fashion
ed after the latest improved, but, all in all,
the facilities for handling the crop in
Lancaster are superior. Half Of the crop
OF 1880 is sold, mostly to Lancaster firms,
and at paying prices ranging from "a, 6
and 3 down. Tho crop is almost free
from the ravascs of the flea beetle, Of a
color and good quality.
Among the buyers who were here there
was one who happened to get his name on
the "black list" He engaged in little
game of bulldozing, in which he succeeded
10 tho amount of Z cents to the pound.
The farmer is the loser, but the buyer,
who happened to be an influential man.
