The Greensburg EueHiaq Press tells the
of the Wandering Jew and adds;
$50 will Dukes be commanded to move
whenever and whereverh his vile body enters
a community where men respect honor the
ties that bind parents TO children, where
men believe in innocence and its protection
from the wiles of the black-souled libertine.
Move on, thou worse than Cain, and drink
to the dregs all the bitterness thou hast
beaned upon the innocent and defenseless."

Pennsylvania Legislature is one prohibiting
juries assessing costs on a person whom
they find moi guilty. To pronounce a
man innocent of a given charge. and in
the next breath to sentence him to the PEN

trial, is such an Obvious burlesque on JUS

have not protested against it long before

Y From the Harrisburg Patriot of a recent
date we take the following: The South
Pennsylvania Railroad Company, or as it is
chartered the Harrisburg and Western Rail-
road, is making preparations for its spring
inception Of operations in this neighbor-
hood. There are lively times ahead. The
material for the roadway is under contract
and the Surveyors are completing their
work down the Cumberland valley. Gen.
eral Superintendent Sayer meets interested
parties in this city and New York every few
DAYS. As announced in the Patriot last No.
vember, the long bridge will cross the Sus-
quehanna river from a point on the Cum
berland side below Bridgeport, to near Han
ma street. and with the approaches cost up
wards of S 5000, 900. The iron work will be
done by the Phoenix bridge works of Clarke,
Reeves & Co., at Phoenixville. 1t is an
nounced work will begin on the new bridge
within a month, and no trouble is anticipa-
ted in reaching the spot for the proposed
station on the vacant lots near Market
street.
In the meantime Vanderbilt has extern
sive car shops down on his books for this
city, TO run out the rolling stock for his
! Harrisburg and Western line. Where will
the shops be located? is a question often
asked. 1t is generally stated they will be
erected at Lochiel, or on Allison's hill. A
gentleman well informed states that Ali
1 sons hill will be the place selected. owing
to the liability of damage by flood and water
on the former site. In any event, the com-
ing of an industry that will engage from
fifteen hundred to two thousand men is an
indication of Harrisburg's prosperity of no
mean order. President Gowen said in his
recent address in the House on the Hulings
anti-discrimination bill that the Vanderbilt
shops you'd amply make up for any loss
by a removal of the capitol buildings. This
the Readings president intends as a pleas

it emauated. And now Blue Bird, at this
late date has the audacity to surreptitiously
encroach on the valuable space of the HER

The SHAN AND THE R~EAL.-Eyery good
thing has its host of imitators every genu-
inc article its counterfeits. Bad manner
and wicked habits have theirs also but he
who shams the bad never boasts of it, while
they who ape the virtues of the good or SIM
ulate the genuine never hesitate to place the
counterfeit before the public in their most
alluring tones. When these people initiate
they always choose a pronounced type or
popular subject to copy from and when
they claim to be as good as "~So-and-So," or
to sell an article equal to " S~o-and-So," the
public may depend upon it that Mr.. $50
and-So " and his article are always the best
of the kini. Thus the sham is always
proving the genuine merit Of the thing it
copies. A firm Of enterprising gentlemen
produce and popularize an article of house
hold use, such as the Royal Baking Powder,
whose convenience. usefulness and real
merit make for itself an immense and uni
versal sale. A hundred imitators arise Oh
every hand, and as they hold out their sham
articles to the public, yelp in chorus, Buy
this it's just as good as Royal, and much
cheaper" The Royal Baking Powder is the
standard the world over, and its imitators
in their cry that theirs is as good as Roy
al" are all the time emphasizing this fact.
In their laboricus attempts to show by anal
ysis and otherwise that " SNOWFALL" brand
has as much rising power as 1.-THE Royal ;
or that the Resurrection" powder is as
wholesome as the Royal" or that the
" Earthquake brand is as pure as "the
Royal" as well as by their contortive
t~wistings of chemical certificates and labor
ed efforts to obtain recognition from the
Government chemists and prominent SCI
entists who have certified the superiority of
Royal over all others, they all admit the
" Royal " to be the acme of perfection,
which it is their highest ambition 10 imi-
tate. But the difference between the real
and these limitations, which copy only its
general appearance, is as wide as that be-
tween the paste and the true diamond. The
