A Solitary Sentinel.
PHILADELPHIA Record.


For 81 years George w. Bromley the old
est ordnance sergeant, both in years and
service, in the United States army, has been
doing sentry duty at Fort Miffin, and for a
large part of that time he was the only occu
pant of the fort, The solitary guardsman
has faithfully discharged his duty in all this
time, and now he is about to reap the fruits
of his labor, for on Saturday he was sum-
moned to Washington to be commissioned
as an officer and put upon the retired list.
The rank and pay of his new position have
not yet been announced, but $50 a month is
expected. Altogether he has seen As years
of service. The fort is located short dis
lance below the mouth of the Schuylkill on
the west bank of the Delaware. Up and
down the ramparts the old sergeant, for he
is now in his Goth year, has daily paced in
winter and summer. His mail has been car
ried to him twice week, and he spends his
time keeping the guns in order and the 9TH
er equipments of the fort in proper trim.
Notwithstanding his age he presents most
soldierly appearance, being tall, erect and of
fine physique. Now and then he is visit
ed by prominent army officers, who delight
to gossip with the lone soldier about the
battles in which they have participated.

The women here have gorgeous nature to

When the Bona Dea, out of her bounteous-
ness, makes Blue Grass woman she takes

warm body, translucent with divine light,
and eurving to lines of beauty as natural as
the tendris of the vine, is the groundwork
upon whieh nature limns the human angel
Eyes softly bright, but luminously intense
cheeks like the damask rose, with buttercups
of dimples, in whose honeyed heart sly Puck
or Oberon might sleep; lips like OK heart
cherries at the center, but flexible as the
smoke wreath, and fading away into the
soft cheek like the hearts blood of a straw
berry into luscious cream; chin fairly fash
Toned IS the golden apple that blushing Par

at taking it; the brow of Juno and the bust
of Hebe; the sea nymphs pearly ear, the

of the charms that nature gives the maiden

sLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTs.

Lessons and examples of wholesale
casualty, almost without number, and of
appalling character checker the history
of the present century, illustrating with
frightful impressiveness the precarious
tenure of human life. But seldom has such
a calamity as that of last Saturday be-
fallen any community. Seldom, if ever
before in modern times has there been
realized to the actual experience of so
many hearts and homes the anguish of the
oft-repeated words, ''The slaughter of the
innocents," of which poets, sages and
divines have discoursed through the long
lapse of ages.
Quick upon the heels of the New York
bridge disaster follows one Of similar
character, but with heavier loss of life.
The panic which occurred in a public
hall in Sunderland, England, last Satur-
day,was certainly one of the most terrible
catastrophes which has ever been chron-
icled. At an entertainment at which a
large number of children were present,
the announcement was made that gifts
would be distributed to the little ones as
they passed out. When the performance
was concluded the children made a rush
down the stairway from the gallery, in
which they were nearley all seated. The
only means of egress was a door twenty
inches in width, and as the great mass
ofexcited little ones came crushing down
the stairway one little girl fell and was
trampted to death. Others fell over her
and met with similar fate, until when
at last order was restored, 1873 lit tie dead

therefore, made a life contract with her.
To the newly welded friends / extend

of thar great and noble principle-the

The governor has decided not to call
an extra session of the legislature, and
the capitol commissioners weep,
1t is said nothing will be done towards
erecting the state house until after the
next regular session, as the commission
claims it would be foolish to attempt to
60 ahead under the present enactments
without bringing future trouble and
additional expense on the state. A pc.
tition was being circulated asking the
governor to include in the provisions Of
the call, the recommendation that some
action be. taken concerning the myste.
riously defeated exemption bill. But this
subject will have to lay. over with that
of the state house until next regular ses
sion and if the working people do not
force the passage of fair exemption bill
at that time, they will not deserve any
protection.

TALMAGE has denounced the gaudy
style of posters used by show managers,
and the Denver Times is backing the
sensational hypocrite. 1 am sorry for
the show people, but would suggest that
brother Talmage do a little cleansing in

prominent commander, and that the
editor of the Times turn his attention to
cleansing the record of the city Jail, and
then lecture on decencY and morality

The capitalistic press never loses the
opportunity to make light of the work
ingman and show what a low, des-
picable creature he (the workingman) is,
and how naturally lazy and good-for-
nothing. They are even so jealous in
this commendable branch of journalism,
that the humorist Of the staff is turned
loose upon it. A case is before us
wherein the funny man" tells of man
who was out of work but refused to ac-
cept a position of porter in a bank, at
$500 year, and how an official of the
bank won box of cigars from an asso.
ciate by the tranaction. This exceed
lngly funny item has gone the rounds Of
the great press, serving the double pur-
pose of making the damphools laugh
and showing beyond doubt that poor
man don't want to work. If the item
was true an explanation of the mans
refusal to accept the position rendered
could be found in the fact that, though
poor, he was a little choice about his
associates.

A similar casualty to the present one
occurred in November, 1851, in the city
of New York, which resulted in the loss
of the lives of upwards Of fifty children.
Someone gave the alarm fire school
on Greenwich avenue and a panic
ensued. The children crowded onto, the
stairway, which broke and precipitated
them in a crushed and bleeding mass on
the floor of the hall below. 1t was not

girls had yielded up, their lives that
order was restored; and angels weep

The archbishop of Quebec has issued
a manifesto denouncing secret societies.
particularly trades unions. In imita-
tion of the pope this subordinate dig
nitary of the church is playing into the
hands of the oppressors of the people.
The workingmen who allow themselves
to be dictated to and led around by the
nose by this man or any of his frater-
nitv, certainly fall very far short of what
God expects of his children. The sooner
such presumptious individuals as the
pope and the arch bishop of Quebec are
given to understand that the people can
run their little earthly affairs them
selves, the better will it be for all.

much concerned because the western
people are expressing themselys oD the
star route verdict. 1t makes a tender
appeal to us to ''let it. rest;;" but devotes
its entire editorial page to the question.
The Gazette might take its own advice.
It says the verdict was indorsed by. the
citizens Of Washington, and that the ex-
element was "only equalled BY the news
of the assassination of Garfield" What
is, the complexion of the bulk Of Wash
ington's citizens ? And there is quite a
