DR.. Benz. Musser and Col. S. Leach,
started for Arkansas tho latter part of
last week on business, the doctor being
interested in a cotton farm in that state.
They passed as far on their journey as
Columbus, Ohio, when Col. Leach took
sick, and they were compelled to abandon
their trip and return home.
The coming election and the steps the
Independents have taken is the topic of
discussion at present in our borough.
They now realize that Stalwart supremacy
is not limited in its control. It is to be
found with the same aims and methods
wherever there is power to prevent and
plunder 70 steal. If the people of the
state would learn anew what Stalwartism
is, let them turn to the swift lessons of the
last four months, and they will understand
what it means to public fidelity, to honest
government and to the popular will. II
rules by might, not by right. 1t is time
this despotic hand be stayed.

HOW HE WON HER.


Buchanan had FeIlow-Sympatly.
Mrs. Pickens, of South Carolina, has
long been famous for her beauty, and is
celebrated as the lady whose refusal of
the hand of Governor Pickens made him .
foreign minister. The heart-struck gov
ernor laid the matter before President
Buchanan, who gallantly determined to
remove 80 triflipg an obstacle to the course
of true love, and Immediately made him
minister to Russia. The lady then be-
came Mrs. Pickens, and her only
daughter, born at st. Petersburg,
is named "DOnshka." or more
properly, Inshinkka," which is Russ for
'Little Darlirg.' Mrs. Washington. Of
West Virginia, is one of the nearest of kin,
or rather nearest by decent, to the father
of his country, and married her cousin to
double the tic. Mrs. Yulee, of Florida, is
the wife of x-Governor and Senator Yulce,
whose name was originally Levy, but was
artfully transposed, by treating and as
the same letter, into Yulee. Miss Alice
Longfellow, daughter of the poet, is the
regent from Massachusetts,. All these
ladies are in Washington now. They hold
daily meetings at Mount Vernon, and have
received some additional relics rs gifts for
the house, among others a mantel- mirror
and dressing table used by General Wash
ington, and cut glass dish with the initials
&C. w." cut in the bottom, both present
ed by members of the Washington family.

Cattle Lower at Chicago.

There was a big decline in the price of
cattle at the Union stock yards in Chicago
ON Monday. 1t averaged about J cent per
pound, live weight, which corresponds to
a reduction of much more than that in the
price of dressed beef. The direct reason
was tho fact of much larger receipts. The
arrivals were about double those of any
day in last week, including nearly 5000
head of Texans alone. There was no large
increase in the receipts of fat cattle, but
that grade declined sharply, as 4 result of
the greater supply of poorer stock. The
New York market remained firm, from
which it is inferred by some that there
will probably be no further decline here
unless the arrivals of the future should
much exceed present expectation. Prices
have been so high, however, that there is
plenty of room for reaction if the cause
of that fortitude be partly removed. The
cause was greater plenty of grass feed
ought to make material difference to the
market in this important respect.

BASEBALL,

The College CInb Beats the Ironsides.
Yesterday afternoon tho College base
ball club played the first game of ball with
the Ironsides, their old opponents, for this
season, and beat them by the score of q
to 4. The College boys played we'll to-
gether from the beginning, their work in
the field being sharp and accurate. After
the first inning they batted Cosgrove all
over the field, making many twO-base hits
and getting to third base half dozen
times Oh well-directed hits. The Ironsides
could not hit Reiter, and one and two,
sometimes three, were retired ON strikes
on his curved pitching every inning. Great
credit is due Heisler and Reiter, of the
College club. Heisler catching with only
one passed ball in the whole game, and
Reiter's curved delivery proving very
effective. One of the finest plays of the
afternoon was 4 fly catch by Dutrow, of
the College, after i long and hard run.
Bates, as shOrt-stop of the Ironsides, made
a magnificent stop of grounder.

a Regular Bear of a Fellow,

One of the trains arriving from the
West ut the Broad street station, Phila-
delphia, yesterday. had among its passen-
gers curious creature, who seems to be
only half human. lie has head that
rises peculiarly at the crown, and, low
down on either side, are ears that are very
small and delicate. His legs turn in at
the knees, and his feet arc broad and flat
and have six toes each, and he shambles
in walking just rs a bear does. A bright
red line circles his throat. The muscles
and joints of all four of his limbs arc more
like those of bear than like those of a
human being, and he snaps occasionally
with his jaws after the manner of the for
mer nimal. The man who accompanied
him states that he was captured nearly a
year ago in a wild state.

Tho Terrible Effects of Carleton's Poetry.
The elopement of Mrs. J. f. Harris with
E. H. Sloaper, the United States mail agent

week Mr.. Sloaper bought quantity of

wagon and carriage. When Mr.. Harris
returned home on Saturday night he missed

who was on intimate terms with the

Business and Politics.

The proposed nomination of John
Wanamaker, for congressman at-large
on the Republican state ticket, has led to
the say ing of some very foolish things
in the public prints and by the Republi
can politicians with regard to such a
nomination. One of these is that the
newspapers Which he patronizes SO liber-
ally with his advertisements would not
dare to oppose him lest he withdraw his
patronage. While we have no sort of
doubt that, as candidate, Mr.. Wana-
makers high enterprise as a business
man, and his good personal character
wOuld exempt him from the scurrilous
warfare which is too often waged in the
heat of a campaign, he would very soon
discover that the honest newspapers of
Pennsylvania do not sell their principles

In February last during the session Of
the Legislature, the Hagerstown, Md,
Herald and 7orchlight charged Senator
Farrow with having voted for the Demo-
cratic candidate at the election Of state
treasurer and with being influence ! in his
vote by improper considerations. Mr..
Farrow brought suit for malicious libel
against the owner Of the paper, Deputy
L. S. Treasurer Negley, Of the Baltimore
custom house, and has recovered $1,000
damages. Pennsylvania Republicans who
accuse the Independents Of Democratic
affiliations had better take care.
The Press bases a report "that General
Winfield Scott Hancock, of Pennsylvania,
the Democratic candidate for president in
1880, is to be nominated for governor of
Pennsylvania by the Democrats" on the
fact that Gen. Hancock spent last Sunday
at York and in part in the company of
Judge Black. Far more unlikely things
than Gen. Hancock's nomination have
happened, but SO far as it is conjectured
from his social visit to York there is no
foundation for the report. His visit was
made in pursuance of long contemplated
purpose to 90 to Mr.. Small's-whose guest
