Irregular Correspondence OF the FREEMAN
DEAR McPIKE-For a long time I had a
great anxiety to learn the cause of the Do
teral disaster last April, in the Straights of
Magellan, and atthls time, though somewhat
late, am gratified TO learn that the disaster
was caused by zerotine siccatine. This ex-
PLANTATION is entirely satisfactory
Several snow storms have occurred in this
locality-not suchTude, clustering, boisterous
billiards. as were familiar here last winter
but aesthetic sort of snow storms-auiet
sweet, lOw-v voiced, restful affairs Nature
has so far this winter been in one of her
amiable moods, and the season partakes
largely of her genialty. The snow-fakes
drop gently and tenderly to the earth as
though they were freighted with heavens
choicest blessings for us here below Our
pleasant weather lasts well and 80 does the
I winter stocks of our merchants rendered
partly unstable by its continuance but It is
comforting to the merchants to think that
what they loose in business they gain in fuel.
| l wonder if they think of that I bet they
don't, and are unhappy. Why don't they
think of that and be happy? Judging from
/ the pleasant SnOUless weather in this lati-
tude, L Imagine that the great snow plows of
/ the Grand Trunk Railroad from CTessOn to
! Ebensburg have, up to this time, been rust
| ing in'enforced idleness. / presume, howev-
er, that the railroad employees don't fret
much over this enforced idleness of that
! class Of their machinery. There are, ven
/ ture to say, many more pleasant experiences
] In railroading than is to be found in buckng
/ big snow drifts. The Ebensburg branch
railroad men are doubtless all happy.

/ Notwithstanding the awful rumor that the
/ apostle of aestheticism was christened bv the
/ unpoetical name Of Oscar O'Flaherty, the
! snobdom of Philadelphia came to its knees
7 at his feet. The Wilde sunfiOwer apostle
! appears in fur-lined green coat which eX-
/ cites the merriment of the unaesthetic class
! or ladies. Not only the merriment of un-
/ aesthetic maidens is excited, but also their
/ curiosity, causing the inquiry 'DOes the
/ green extend all the way through ?" and
the general belief is that it does, It may not
| be uninteresting to slender ladies to know
that Mr.. Wilde's ideal Of perfect beauty is
Sarah Bernhardt whom he regards as the
realization OF all his aesthetic dreams He
says he would ask no higher earthly delight
than to sit the whole live long night on the
door stOOp of the house in which Sarah slept
By the way, it is said that Mrs Sarah Bern
hardt is threatened with another accident"

De interesting 10 the young men of Cambria,
viz That Oscar Wilde besides his green
dress, adOrns himself in a yellow dressing
gown with red cuffs, brown trousers with
red cords down his long legs, red silk stock
lnRs ana an olive green ulsterette with a
mink fur collar and patent leather boots
take pleasure in making it known that since
the big Dutchman, of the artillery band, un-
1olnted his ophcleide and silently stole away
TO a lager beer saloon, the Atlanta aesthetics
have had no worship, and have sent for Os-
car Wilde. 1t Is much to be regretted that
this wayward young Wilde took the poetic
license OF skipping Baltimore and putting
Mr.. and Mrs Charles Carroll of CarrolIton
IN hutter. Every florist Of Baltimore had
been depleted Of his stock Of sunhowers to
decorate the Carroll mansion
MORE DEMOCRATIC BLUNDRRINGs
Reckless ambition and injudicious counsel
have caused troubles and quarrels among
the Democrats in many wards in this city
At a time when the Democratic party should
be unit-which good work is needed on the .
part or every DemOcrat-Mr. Robert E. Pat
tisGn, protesting Democrat, foists himself
upon the party as a candidate for Govern or (
when he knows that the result would raise
quarrels and division in the Democratic F.
ranks. All the late Democratic ward CON :
VentIons IN the city would have been harmo- /
NOUS and productive Of good had Mr. Patti /
son not forced himself into the canvass - I
The purpose for which he divided and i'm
Dettered the Democrats is Infamous From
MS own confessions, he did it to ''pratffy his /
personal feelings" and obtain "a yiDdicatiOn'b .
against his personal enemies 1t was AFRO
gance on Mr.. PattisOn's part to think of
having such an honor conferred upon him.
NeIther by age nor wisdom, nor service had {
ne the right to ask the Democratic party TO .
elevate him to the highest Office in the Com
monWealth. Mr.. Pattson, should he ever
again become candidate for ary position
would be repudiated by the Democrats of |
TINS city. He aided in defeatino a DOrtiOn oP
the Democratic ticket in this city last No
Vember, and he has now been Instrumental
IN dividing and embitteTing the Democracy
OF the city to satisfy personal feeling" and !

curing the Philadelphia delegation to the
next Democratic convention in his interest
as candidate fsr Governor, has engendered
more Ill feeling than ever before resulted

The Democrats will have no common enc
my 10 n9ht IN November next, and in no
county IN the State are the Democrats mora
sensible OF that fact than those Of Cambria.
At the meeting OF the Republican State
Committee, member Of that body from
Cambria county, Hon. Henry A Boggs
made declaration which was greeted by
long and loud applause, viz CAS- for our
candidate for Governor, it is only necessary
70 nave him photographed with his crippled
leg and crutches, and put photograph in
each school house in the State, with his war
record pasted upon it, to get the unanimous
endorsement it received, was a confession
that the whole committee regarded General
beavers nomination as a fOregOne conclu-
sion. The action of the Republicans on the
leth Oh May next will be mere fOrmaity as
iar as the candidate FOR Governor is concern
ed. The Republican candidate for Cover
nor has already been nominated. Before
me meeting OF the State Committee, con-
senator CamerOn's house in Washington (
and General Beaver, one of the BOG, who mis-
represented the Republicans of his county
and yO.9d 36 times for Grant at Chicago I
was then and there decided upon as the Re-
publican candidate for Governor.
Now, since the Republicans of Pennsvlva-
MIA have chosen a soldier as their candidate
Tor Governor, let the Democrats of PenpsvI- I
Yania, who have an abundance of soldier ma
teTlal, place a soldier candidate on their |
State ticket, either for Governor or Lieuten-
ant Governor. Major Moses Veale, of Phil I
adelphia, has Il war record unsurpassed by
any Union soldier in the State Major
Neale, the hero Of dozen battles with
war record that eclipses that of General
Beaver, citizen OF unblsmished reputation, I
cultivated gentleman, an able LAWYER and
an eloquent orator, would elevate the stan
dard and reflect character and credit on the
Democratic ticket. His record as a brave !
soldier and his eloquence on the stump (
would make him popular and winning can
dldate. No soldier in the Union army car
show better record and more honorable ca
reer than Major Moses Veale.
