population of SO, 1853 the average daily at
tendance was 1876"

A LITTLE girl in Philadelphia on her
way to school was stopped by a freight
train crossing the street. After it had
passed she started to 60 over and was
struck and killed by a passenger train
running 40 miles an hour, the watchman
being at the time on the other side of the
track. The coroner's jury most emphat-
ically censured the P. R. r. "for running
at such great rate Of speed through the
city limits, and also ccnsqre the company
for not providing proper precautions at
said crossing for the protection of human
life, and also for employing old and iu-
competent men," For years in this city
the crossings were unguardsd, and even
now men, women and children are not
sufficiently protected from DANCES such
as are above narrated. Soulless corpora
tions should at least respect and protect
the lives of the citizens over whose high
ways they run their trains.
A NUMBER of responsible citizens, who
have every reason to be well-informed on
the matter, write to us inquiring by what
authority there was given out, without
asking for proposals and competitive bids,
the making of harness for the new fire de-
partment, especially when two years ago
the manufa cture of $18 worth Of police
mans belts was submitted for proposals
to all the saddlers of the city. Irrespec-
tive of the latter consideration, it was the
perempsory legal duty of the committee
on the reorganization of tho fire depart
ment to ask for pl oposals for the harness
as we'll as all 9th er supplies needed by the
city. Any other course was in gross vio-
lation of law, and before tho bill so con-
tracted is paid, councils should investigate
the circumstances under which it was
contracted, as it appears in an illegal and
improper manner.
IT is almost impossible to conceiye Of
men of such intelligence as Lord Lytton,
Right Hon. Sir Richard Assheton Cross,
Cardinal Manning, Alfred Tennyson, Ro
bert Browning, Professors Huxley and
| Goldwin Smith, James Card, Generals
Sir Linthorne Simmons and Sir Henry
Havelock Allan, Sir Theodore Martin and
leading London editors gravely writing a
protest in an English magazine against
the channel tunnel, on the ground that il
would involve England in military dangers
and liabilities, from which as an island she
has hitherto been Free" The clever
hoaxer who got up the story of the French
suddenly capturing Dover by means o
the tunnel seems to have builded wiser
than he knew. That the Dover end of the
tunnel will he 100 feet below the surface
of the sea, and will have a shore continue
tion of three miles before it reaches day
light, is enough to show any intelligent
person, one would think, that "any invad
ing force could be stopped by the most
ordinary defences and by small force o.
men, without resorting to the destructive
device of opening sluice gates and flooding
the tunnal from the sea. No assaultine
force could ever get through that fou,
miles of shore tunnel" To surmise thai
England is in any possible danger from
this source is to assume that the manly art
of self-defense is totally lost.

A Fable.

A worthy Blacksmith, who had aban-
doned his honorable Trade and taken to
War, Politics and Newspapers, one day
conceived the idea of maliciously hammer
ing the Anvil. just to see whether his
Wrists had really been affected by fall
from Mule during the War. After he
had persisted, in his Exercise for long
time he found that he had made no Inden-
tation upon the Anvil. but that he was so
much wearied and injured by the violent
ExerIion that he straightway applied for
an increase of Pension and declared that
there was no Profit in Controversy with
such a mendaciOus and malicious Anvil.

Was Shaw i'm York County?

A man passed. through this place last
Monday answering in many respects the
description of the NAN Shaw who shot his
wife in Lancaster county few weeks ago.
He had rather long reddish beard,
marked above tho eye, was somewhat
lame in one leg and was perhaps 55 years
old. He gave his hame as Brown and said
he had been rich once, but was very poor.
A day after he was gone his resemblance
to the published descriptions of Shaw
were remarked, and move was talked
of to hunt him up, but nothing was

Our Congressman Criticised.

The weekly Inquirer, which scrutinizes
our congressman's official performance
with microscopic ZEAL has discovered that
the speech "delivered' in Congress by
Hon. A. Herr Smith, in favor of the Chi.
nese bill was not made at all, but printed
in the Record by leave AT first, says
Major Griest's paper, eve supposed the
publication was the work of some enemy
of Smiths who had taken this means to
bring him into disrepute, and this opinion
was strengthened by the fact that the Neac
Era, his personal organ, neither published
nor made any allusion to it but inquiry
at the Office Of the Examiner has satisfied
us that the document is genuine ope."
And further, in all our reading upon
this question, and we have examined many
of the speeches on either side, both in the
Senate and House, we have seen none that
in ignorance of the essential facts of the
case, or in misconception of the real issues
involved, can compare with this effort of
Mr.. Smiths"

street sprinklers of this city would have

raining, but has been dusty and windy; and
persons having to walk or drive were
almost blinded by sand which blew into

own street sprinklers don't know how to
use them they had better dispose of them
