The Pittsburgh C5mssrciai in speaking OF
the Harrisburg and Western Railroad says
The Vanderbilt people have also been
exceedingly active in securing mineral and
coal lands along its route and preparing to
develop the country through which the
road will pass. A land agent of the syndi-
cate was interviewed by reporter while
just starting out on q business trip and from
him several important points were obtain
ed. He says that Mr.. Vanderbilt, after
ing having had careful surveys made of the
geological formations of the country be-
tween Harrisburg and the Youghiogheny
river in a conversation with President Go
wan, of the Reading, said that he would
make this State the base of supplies from
which the manufacturing world must draw
its raw material. His land purchases all
clearly bear this statement out as they are
rich in deposits of iron ore, coal and lime
stone. Following the policy adopted BY
the Pennsylvania company, furnaces are to
be located along the line ofthe road. 4
syndicate, subordinate to the railroad syn
dicate, is being formed in Philadelphia,
to locate five furnaces west of Somerset.
The gentleman referred to stated that it is
reported inside the syndicate that New
York capitalists are ready to invest ten mil
lions in similar enterprises, as soon as the
road is put in operation"

Down Mt. Washington on a Bicy-
Boston Despatch to NY. Tribune.1

Boston Despatch to N. Y. Tribune.1
E. H. Carson, of East Rochester, N. H.,
has accomplished the remarkable feat Of
riding down Mount Washington on bicy-
Gle. He went up the mountain on Monday
morning from Gorham, and dsmounting
about three miles from the Glen, completed
the journey of eleven miles to the summit of
Mount Washington on foot. pushing his
wheel in advance. His machine was the
American Star Bicycle, whose popularity
consists in the small wheel being placed in
front of the large one. The eight miles
from the Glen were passed in two hours and
forty-tive minutes. After resting some time
upon the summit he started upon his dan
gerous journey, while the guests at the Sum-
init House almost held their breath in fear
for his safety as he wheeled rapidly round
the steep bend just below the house. Upon
reaching more favorable ground he forged
rapidly ahead, though it could be seen that
the brakes were constantly in application.
Another sharp turn near the great gulf was
safely passed, and the machine was behay-
ing beautifully, the precedence of the small
wheel preventing any liability of Headers
and also serving as powerful brace In case
way house was soon gained, and the rider
breathed more freely, the steep cliffs which
border the first half of the way being trying
to the strongest nerves. The remainder Of
the journey was made in in perfect safety,
the brakes being effective in spite
OF the steepness of the road.
The Glen was reached about o'clock, the
descent having been accomplished in about
one hour and fifty minutes, and the rider
met with warm reception from the guests.
After brief respite, the wheelman coptin-
ued on his way toward Jackson. Mr.. Car
son recently performed a similar feat among
the mountains of Maine.

A FAMILY BLESSING.

Under date of May 10, 1883, we have received the
following information from Mr.. LORENZO LOMBARD
of lS Charles street, Portland, Me. Mr.. LOMBARD
says; For several years past have been troubled
with severe backache and pains In the side, and
when would lie down / could not rest we'll as it
seemed impossible for me to get into easy posi-
tion; and my aches and pains increased constantly
to such an extent that became convinced that
had disease of the kidneys fastened TO me- and at :
ter having used doctors prescriptions and many Of
the so called cures without getting any benefit,
was persuaded by near neighbor, Mr.. Jones, to
try Hunts Remedy, as himself and wife had been
greatly benefited by its uses and many other of our
acquaintance spoke of its merits in the highest
terms. decided to try it, and purchased bottle
at Nichols drug siere, and as soon as had taken a
few doses of it the pains in my back were relieved
and after taking three bottles my sdeache and lame
back are cured and can truly testify that Hunts
Remedy is an article Of great merit, and will do all
that is claimed for it, and know of many other
people In Portland who have found a cure in Hunts
Remedy after all others failed to do any good and
recommend it to all who have kidney or liver disease
hoping that this may be the means of relieving some
sufferer who does not know of the merits of Hunts
Remedy" WF&M&wlw29

the various firms that have monopolized the
publishing business now done by Houghton,
Miff1in & Co., but when Mr.. Osgood retired
from that concern Mr.. Anthony went with
him. Mr.. Anthony knows the practical
business of engraving and book Illustration
perfectly well, but he is, perhaps, not quite
as progressive in the art as some OF the 9TH
er men. Houghton, Mifflin Il Co., believing
in young blood, took in Mr.. Milet, BROTH
er OF Frank Milet, the artist, as their art
manager. Mr.. Millet is one of the most en-
thusiastic in his profession, and he spares
no pains for accuracy and good work. The
edition of Longfellow's Michael Angelo,
which this house is preparing for next win
ter, is his particular joy and pride. He has
secured the services of some of the best
known painters in the country to make IL
Illustrations for 1t, and he has taken no end
OF pains to get contemporary portraits OF the
persons alluded to in the poem.

A WOMAN,s AEEAHR.

MRS. N. H SMALL, the wife Of the popular depu-
ty sheriff and assessor of Topsham Me-. writes us
on May 15, 1888 "That she had been severely
afflicted during several years with kidney and liver
disease, accompanied with severe pains and back
ache. Having tried many SO called cures, and med
cines, and doctors prescriptions, without receiving
any benefit, and while seeking for cure, she notc
ed the advertisement of Hunts Remedy and decid-
ed to try 1t. Having bought a bottle at Mr.. John
sons drug store commenced using 1t with such fat
terng results that she continued its USE and after
using only five bottles the improvement in her
health is so marked that she wishes all who are
afflicted in like manner to know of this most valua
BILE and reliable medicine; and she most cheerfuly
recommends Hunts Remedy to all, and especially
to females who are troubled with the complaints
peculiar to The sex.

terms that involved abdication on his part.
The only supposable conditions upon which
Kelly would cease to oppose Mr. Tilden's
ambition are that Mr.. Tilden should cease to
oppose Mr.. Kelly's machine. Kelly may be
willing to help Mr.. Tilden to the Presidency
on condition that Mr.. Kelly is not 10 be dis
turbed as boss of the Democratic party in
New York. But in this view of the case
what has become of Mr. Tilden the reform
er, the implacable foe of the. methods and
corruptions of Tammany Hall? with Mr..
Tilden in cahoot with John Kelly, the Dem
ocrats will hardly attempt to impose on
the country with the old cry, "Reform is
necessary"
But quite as remarkable as the somer-
sault of the Star, and perhaps even more
important, is the attitude of the Brooklyn
Eagle. In 1875 the Eagle was tiercely bitter
against Tammany Hall aud its chief and an
earnest supporter of Mr.. Tilden. lie had
not warmer or more devoted newspaper
ally in the State or the country. But con-
corning Mr.. Tilden's candidacy again, the
Eagle says.
''If Tilden is candidate, or would accept the
nomination if it were rendered, he must be either
devoid of sincerity or have code OF ethics all his
own. Unless it be in order to show that his word
is worth nothing, and that his immediate friends
are pack of liars, to persist in Cabling about
making him candidate Is at once idiotic and out
rageous. Granted, however, that MFR. Tilden could
be induced to fossake his retirement, what would
the condition Of the Democracy be with him as its
candidate? Personally Mr. Tilden might stand all
right. No one would deny his intellectual ability
or his great services to the State of New York. but
would not the party cut ludicrous figure shouting
about fraud which ought to have been redressed
in 1880, which it had the opportunity to redress
and which it declined to give battle for?''
There are many people who have long
been of opinion that Mr.. Tilden has ga code
of ethics all his own and even there are
some who think the evidence is not wanting
that he is devoid of sincerity. But it was
never expected that the Eagle would suggest
such an explanation of his possible action.
In proportion as Mr. Tilden appears to have
won the complaisant tolerance OF Tammany
Hall, he has lost the confidence of another
kind of Democrats, whose confidence will be
quite as necessary for candidates. success.
Republicans have no occasion to feel other
than spectators interest in this;commotion
within the Democratic party. If Mr.. Tilden
becomes an active contestant for the
Democratic nomination there will be music
in the air. Is he gets it he will be beaten,
for he has not by any means the elements
and circumstances of political strength that
ne had seven years ago. If he fails to get
the nomination after offering himself for it,
he may be expected to show as much mag
nanlmity as his nature is capable of; but he
is unfortunate in his constitution.

at Kings College, said: II never look back
without feeling of bitterness to the many
hours during which was compelled to pro-
duce the most execrable Latin verse in the
world. believe that if commission of
distinguished men were appointed to discov-

plishment to which the human man can be

versification in the dead languages was that
