A war KenlInISc nee.

One OF the most hearty welcomes ten
dered the new Swiss minister to the
United States, Col. Emil Frei, took
place at the rooms of the legation yes
terday morning at Washington. Col
Frei was a captain In one of the Union
regiments from Indiana, and in 1861
was a prisoner in Libby prison at Rich
mond, Va. At the same time Capt.
VIM. f. Gordon, of the Confederate SO.
cret service, was under military trial
entenced to death at Fort McHenry.
Jefferson Davis selected Chem Capt.
Frei and held him as hostage for Capt.
Gordon, pla ing him in close dungeon
conhnem ent, with the prospect OF
death by hanging or shooting should
Capt. Gordon be executed.
But Pre- ident Lincoln remitted the
death penalty imposed on the Confeder'
ate captain 0nd Capt. Frei was soon af-
ter placed on the same footing. In Jan
u ary, 1865, Capt Gordon was sent by
the United States authorities to Rich
mond and Capt. Frei returned in his
stead. The two soldiers never met un'
til yesterday morning after seventeen
years separation. The cordial greeting
If these two old seldiers-representing
the Blue and the Gray-was Of an in

MOBILITY.

True worth is In beiLg. not seeming
In doing, each day that goes by,
Some little gOod-n0t In the dreaming
Ofgreat things 10 do bye-and-bye;
For whatever men say In blindness,
And spite Of the fancies OF youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kindness,
And nothing so royal as truth.
We get back our mete as we measure
We cannot ds wrong and feel right,
Nor can we give pain and gain pleasure,
For justice avenges each slight,
The Gfr for the wing Of the sparrow,
The bush for the robin and wren,
Put alwh ys the path that is narrow
And straight for the children Of men.
IT'S not In the pages Of story
The heart Of Its Hls TO begulle;
Though he who make5 oourtshIp to glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile;
For when from her heights he hath won her
Alas 1t is only to prove
That nOthing's so sacred as honor,
And nothing 50 loyal as love!
We cannot make bar gains for blisses,
Nor catch them like fishes in nets;
And.sometime the thing our life misses,
Helps more than the thinE which 1t GETS
For good heth not In pursuing.
Nor gaining OF great nor Of small,
But Just In the doiog; and doing
AS we would be done by, Is all.
Tn 'ouSh envy through malice, through hatin
Against the world early and late,
No lot Of our courage abating,
our part is TO work and wait
AND slight is tho sting Of his troubles
Whose winnings are less than his worth;
For he who 10 honest Is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth.

directions are given that in cases OF
cholera or enteric fever all water is to
be boiled before use, and distillation
adopted if practable. In the matter of
food, it is advised that all meat be
thoroughly cooked; that the consump.

IFha Corn CFOp,

The corn continues remarkably green.
The crop, however, is nearly matured,
and some few farmers in this vicinity
have commenced cutting it and setting
it up In shocks. The yieldiwill be much
larger than last year although some
contend that it is nothing like full
crcp, the ears being rather short CON-
pared with those of some seasons The
price of corn which has been very high
has q downward tendency, and the
new crop will hardly command over
seventy cents per hushel. AT that rate
it will be fed rather sparingly to the
swine, and pork will sell rather high
for some time to come.

Evans, a gallant soldier of the last war,
belonging 10 Co. b. 205 Regiment Penn

longed to Reading, and the Reading

INVITATION.

Strangers passing through
the city are cordially invited
to visit the store, and make
free use of it's conveniences;
leaving their luggage under
check at any of the doors, or
in the Luggage Room in the
Department of public Com
fort.
Really we meant to have
thisimportant departmentin
full operation before every
body got back from sea and
mountain. 1t is made for
strangers; and they seem to
enjoy it,so far as it has got.
1t consists OF a free Reading
Room for gentlemen; a free
Resting Room forladias, free
writing facilities in both,
closets and some other little
conveniences; a soda and
mineral-water fountain that
isn't free; and a lunch room
is to be added.
We make the great public
welcome there, beyond the
wont of any other house, Sc
far as we know. We think
it will pay us to look after
Public Comfort a little as q
m e an S of advertising.
There's nothingsly crook
ed about it. We want Wis
itors to Philadelphia to have
time, and to connect our

manner, ,on piece of corn stalk ground,
giving them a light coat of manure
and good dressing of plaster or
gypsum. They came up unusually
we'll, and in digging them a few days
ago, he found he had nearly 100 bushels
of fine large potatoes, being nearly 30

think they are hard to beat, and he at
any rate has no reason to complain of
unfavorable weather, during the sum-

It is rather remarkable that many Of

Mem who Wore Brncelstn

The wearing CT bracelets by men as
we'll as by women is a fashion just
now decidedly on the increase in Eu-
rope. The Archduke Rudolph, the
Austrian Crown Prince, wears upon
his left wrist bracelet of chainmail,
visible In photograph taken immedi'
ately after his marriage, and represent
ing him arm in arm with the Arch
duchess Stephanie. The late King
Victor Emanuel always wore mass-
i've bracelet containinga mSdallion OF
st. Hubert the same that is now worn
in memory of him by his son, Italy's
actual sovereign. Austr ian naval Off
GERS are addicted to the we ring Of

bearing the eftigy of St. Peter, while
the bracelets of Imperial Royal Artil-
lery officers are invariably commemora'

nal attrachcns. Rossi and Salvini, the
two great Italian tragedians, being also
excellent horsemeu, have caused broad
bands of silver, framing medals of st.
George, to be rivited upon their upper

England, and has been adopted by more

A Child

Chicago, August A Pole named
Holms, living il Town Lake, a suburb
adjoining this city on the south, was
arrested on suspicion of having caused
the death of an infant recently born to
his wife. 1t seems that the couple
have been living in that neighborhood
about eight years, and that children
were born to them with unusual FIRE,
quency, and that they mysteriously dis
appeared, causing much remark
among their neighbors, but no direct
steps were taken until yesterday. After
Holms' arrest he confessed that during
his eight years residence here his wife
had born eight children, all of which
died when very young, andthat when
ever n died he put it in a bag, car
ried it to the lake shoae and buried it
in the sand, and that the bodies of the
infants were thus inferred between
3lst and 43rd streets. He says his wife
consented to this disposition of them.
He admits that he sometimes hit the
bodies, hut denies he killed them. He
states, moreover, that during a short
residence in Nebraska, two children
were born to them and died in a like
manner
