Our esteemed felIOw-cltizen, Mr.. Bro
,jsius, continues to be the recipient of a
5 great deal Of good advice and coincidence
] touching the position on the Republican
ticket into which he was hurled at the
Harrisburg convention by a bolt of
D lightning from clear sky" and which
, he interpreted on the spot as premon-
itiOn of early death. The Philadelphia
Times excels all others in its paternal
sOlicitude for him and ventures to draft
such letter as he ought to send to
Cooper "to be hypothecated as security
for new draft that is about to be drawn
on the easy going independents" 1t is
not likely that Mr.. Brosius will take the
advice SO kindly rendered him.
He is of the Stalwart faith,
and believes that lie can serve his
country best through loyal service to his
party. He recognizes Cooper and his
associates as the regular party organiza-
tionand what they deem best for its in
tegrity our lightning-scarred townsman
may Ike safely entrusted to do, at least
until another stray bolt or a fall down
the political stairs changes his mind.

Recalling News.
Samuel Neuswenger, Mennonite far
mer of East Earl Lancaster county, mot
with . novel experience in this city On
Thursday. He was walking on Penn
street, and near Tenth and Penn was ac-
costed by two strangers. Ono stated that
he was from POttstOwn and the other was
prOfuse in his questions and offered to pay
Neuswenger if he would distribute adver-
tisements through New Holland and that
section of Lancaster county. These ad-
vertisemeDts were sample cloths on cards.
They invited him into their place on the
second floor, northwest corner OF Fourth
and Penn streets. He accompanied sharper
No. l MP stairs, and when once inside he
was offered tempting chances to win at
cards. Soon after sharper No. 2 came in
and bet $40 on q card, and Of course won.
Neusvenger was then induced to bet SIS,
which he lost. Afterwards he met some
of his friends among them Philip Rufe,
D. c. Coleman and II. Heidenreich. Who
returned with him to tho place. They
met the parties on the pavement, and after
a brief parley, succeeded in recovering
money.

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC RULES.

AS Viewed by journal That Was Opposed
to Rules.
Chambersburg Valley Spirit, Dem.
The now rules for the government of
the party adopted by our state convcn-
tion last week will, we think, prove in
the main acceptable to the party, although
we doubt the wisdom of increasing the
number of delegates from two hundred
and fifty-One, the present representa-
to probably four hundred and fifty, some
two hundred more than at present. If,
however, a convention of this size proves
too cumbersome on experiment it may be
reduced our preference would havo been
for one delegate for each 1, 500 Democratic
votes, or for fraction of such votes
amounting to $50 or more. The new
rules give our county five delegates the
ratio We suggest would not have increased
the representation. Very properly sena-
torial delegates have been abolished; they
have rarely made even a pretense OF rep
resenting tho sentiment of the majority of
the voters of the district which gave them
place, as was evidenced in last week
convention by the delegate from this SEN
atoral district who while he may have by
his vote uttered the wishes of the three
Thousand Democrats of Huntingdon coun-
ty gave himself no concern about the de
sires of the five thousand Democratic
voters of Franklin. The campaign work
in future will be more vigorously prose.
cuted, We trust, by the organization of
the executive committee. We expect
nothing but good results in general to
follow the adoption of these regulations.

How Guido TAYLOR Died.

THE WilliamSpOrt Bulletin and Brad

The Williamsport Bulletin and Brad
ford Star take exception to the Demo
cratic declaration of " the faith that all
power not delegated by the constitution,
is reserved to the states and the people. -
While they concede this to be merely a
reasertion of the constitution they re-
gard it as "a manifest attempt to per-

birth to secession and treason" Evi

gard the constitution as ga covenant

THE PRAISES OF Blu TIER.

Miss Blanche NevIn's Letter to Buchanan.
Guardian for July.
On one occasion Miss Blanche Nevin,
now in Florence, Italy, working on a
statue of General Muhlenberg, designed
for the national capitol at Washington,
and young lady who was quite belle,
were making a visit to Miss Lane at
Wheatland, the residence of ex-President
Buchanan. With bis usual gallantry Mr..
B. cOEplimented them highly on their
powers of attraction, but afterwards quail
fed it by saying "while they could fassinate
gentlemen, he didn't believe they could
cook dinner or make pound of butter"
Miss Blanche declared Size could do both,
and to convince him that it was as easy
to mako a churning Of butter as to get into
q gentleman's heart she would make ono
and send him. Accordingly when che
came home she took the milk bucket and
went iuto the COW yard, and after expert
menting awhile to get the milk into the
bucket quite an art by the way, rs under
the operation of a tyrO the milk is very
apt to 60 every way but in the bucket }
she accomplished it, MIXED tho COW,
strained the milk and set it to cream,
skinned it, scalded the churn, put in the
cream churned and worked the butter all
with her own hands, and sent it to Mr..
Buchanan with the following little
jeu d'esprit:
My muse had better clip her wings,

humble song of humble things.
Not OF an interesting story,
Not OF an ancient border fOray,
Nor vet of man or wOman's glory.
leave unto mfghtier pen.
Such vaunting of their fellow men,
But stalt not, naughty critic, when
My lips all unabashed shall utter.
Words which would put you In Il fiutter
The theme I'm singing of is-butter.
There rises first before my sight,
The milk so fOamy, frothy, white,
Fresh from the COW in bucket bright,
Which soon to yellow cream doth turn,
And then with dainty kind concern
We skim, and put 1t in the churn.
Cruchingly, munchingly,
Throwing and tossing the cream in a fiutter.
Splashing and dashing,
Each drop 1t throws,
And suddenly turning 1t all into butter.
u butter, butter good and pure,
When nicely dipped and safted you're
A special blessing am sure,
For butter hath luscious taste,
And at what table 1t Is placed.
Improves the bread it hath embraced.
What wretch was he, with taste unstable
w uO SuSScSlcu VIC WcTc hUlc
To drop 1t from the dinner table.
Good gracious me What won't men do,
To form some fashion that is new,
What won't mcn-what won't women too.
BY people wise, I've heard 1t said,
Fen that " the staff of life Is bread"
Then butter is the golden head.
In humble gratitude sing.
The pleasure it doth ever bring.
To almost every well cooked thing.
And whensoe'er you take your seat,
This butter which send to eat,
hope you'll find tOth good and sweet.
Dear Mr.. Buchanan.

A BLIND hog occasionally finds an
acorn. Our Jail authorities have had
that sort of luck in securing the return
of two of the ten cOnvicts who went
over the garden wall some six weeks ago
at high noon. The youngest and green
est of them, il will be remembered, was
accidentally arrested-in mistake for a
train rider-at the station in this city,
before he had time TO change his con-
vict dress. ltnOw appears that another
of them has been recognized at the jail
door in person taken off a freight train
at Columbia for violating the railroad
law. With these exceptions the whole
lot of fugitive Jail birds are still soaring
through the free air of liberty. The &C
cidental arrest of two of them may
serve as a warning to others to make
themselves little scarcer in this imme-
diate neighborhOod, while at the same
time it will strengthen the popular con-
viction that they have been circling
around the city ever since their escape,
and that the failure to capture them is
due mostly to the same sort of stupidity
which facilitated their outbreak. 1t will
be an interesting question to decide who
is entitled to the reward offered for Buz.
Yards rccapture. The railroad detec.
tives who arrested" Milton Smith " can
hardly claim it, much less the Jail Off
cial, who only recognized him after he
had been placed in his custody.

Mad for RoheSon.

It is u great pity ex-Secretary Of the
Navy Robson can't have aclear charac
ter because it is a great pity that any
man, and especially one who has filled
90 high an Office, should not have good
character to boast of. But Mr.. Robson
has not; and it cannot be helped. Every.
one knows that he has not, including
himself. Mr.. Robeson being a poor man
and being placed in a position where he
could cure that deficiency. cured it A; and
is now rich man. But a man cannot
get rich in those easy ways while indulg.
ing himself in the practices of virtue.
He cannot he respectable and rich when
be steals. He cannot wear the white
robes of innocence when he isn't inno-
cent. He cannot have his cake ard eat
it too rs every child in the land that is
knee high to a grasshopper has long
learned by sad experience.
Nor can Mr.. Robson, any more than
any other man, show himself clean by
attempting to show his neighbOr to be
black. That is another thing which ex-
perience teaches. Every rogue natur-
ally likes to make out others to be
~ bad as he; but it don't help
him a bit in reality even though
he succeeds in his effort. If Mr.. Robe
son could make out that his accuser, Mr..
Whitthorne, was not himself immacu-
late it might he bad for Whitthorne, but
it is not good for Robson. But when
Mr.. Robson tries and fails to blacken
Mr.. WhitthOrne's character, as he has
signally tried and failed, it is very bad,
indeed, for Robson. Mr.. WhitthOrne
has said that Mr.. Robson is not truth
full or honest man which is not say
ing anything new and certainly nothing
false, as the public judgment goes :;
and Mr.. Robson does nothing at all
towards correcting this judgment by as
sailing Mr.. Whitthorne and abstaining
from defending himself. The charges
made against him may be easily rcfuted
if false but. though they have often
been made, We have heard of no attempt
at refutatiOn. Mr.. Robson is what is
termed a very good fellow lie is fond of
good dinner and good company he
has good tastes; but his tastes are cost
ly; entirely too much SO for an honest
purse. If Mr.. Robson had been born
an anchorite he might have made a very
good public servant; but born as he has
been, the public service has no use for
him,

Fatal EXrLOsION OF FIREWORKS

A Little Glri Meets y Horrible Death by Fire
In Chicago.
In Chicago Mrs. Coulter used the lower
floor of her building for toy shop and
the upper one as residence. She shared
the home with her four children, of whom
Katie was the youngest. In anticipation
of the Fourth Mrs. Coulter increased
her small stock in trade with a
supply of fireworks, which she
slowed away under one Of the counters.
Early Tuesday morning a gentleman en-
tered tho store to make some purchases OF
fireworks, and Mrs. Coulter reached under
the counter to obtain the articles. No
soon er had she obtained them and placed
them on the counter than an explosion oc.
CURED underneath. Fireworks began ex-
ploding in all directions, and the room
was soon filled with flame and smoke,
which rendered entrance almost an impOs-
sibility. An alarm was promptly responded
to by the fire department., but before the
engines arrived the dry frame building was
already wrapped in flames, creating an
immense conflagration. All this timo
little Katie had been left asleep in one of
the second story back rooms. As quickly
as possible some Of the firemen entered
the building and began searching for her.
In one of the front rooms on the floor was
found the charred remains of the unfortu-
nate child burned almost to crisp. Evi-
IDENTIFY the little one had been disturbed
in its sleep, aud becoming suffocated in
it's efforts to reach the stairway had been
burned to death early in the course of the
fire. Her flesh was burned to crisp on
tho arms and limbs, while the trunk of
her was literally cooked.
Thomas Gardner, proprietor of a store
in WilliamstOwn, N. c., while party of
young men. who were all more or less
under the influence of liquor, were in his
store, gave gun to a man named John
Dorsey with instructions to shoot the first
man who left the place. Shortly after re.
ceiving the orders Dorsey shot and killed
Leroy Crofton, resident of Hamilton,
n. G., he being the first to leave the
building. At tho time of firing tho fatal
shot Dorsey was Intoxicated.

Arm Broken.

Benjamin NJ. Stracllan, aged about ten
years, son of Mrs. Hannah StracbaD, re-
siding at No. % East German street, yes
terday whilo playing with some Of his
young companions, fell from pile of stones
and broke his arm very badly, the elbow
joint being dislocated and tho bono sus-
tanning comminuted fracture. DR.. Geo.
A. King was sent for, reduced the luxation
and set the broken bone. A somewhat
singular coincidence in tho case is, that Dr..
King being unable, at the moment, to get
surgeon to assist him, called in Rev.
Meister, pastor of st. Stephens church,
who rendered the necessary aid with more
than usual skill, having himself, when a
boy, suffered an accident of precisely
similar character.
