A Fine Concert.

The concert given at the Wesley
Church BY the Washington Harmonic
Company, on Thursday evening, was
poorly attended, but those who were
present were treated 10 some excellent
vocaI music. Mrs TiIghmap, Miss
Juriks, and Messrs. Layton and Temp
kins, are all artists which any one
who has heard them will admit. We
think, however, that The Company
would be more successful were they
to secure compet' Mt travelling agent
who has some knowledge Ut the show
business.

DEPAR TMENT BUSINESS.
Disputed Cllarters-Parish Coal and Natu-
raj Gas Companies.

AtNA 0<t9 NHAA4 A"AA~S'
A charter was issued to-dayto the Mercer
gas company, of Mercer county. Corpo-
rators, Levi Morrison, George Pearson
and B. Magoffin, of Mercer Ellis Morri
son, of Lawrence, and John w. Morri-
son, Of Allegheny.
The application of the Parish coal
company for charter was filed this
morning in the State department A
hearing was had some time since before
the Governor and Attorney General, in
opposition to this charter, on the ground
that the operation would undermine some
of the best property in Plymouth, Lu-
zerne county, where it is to be located.
But the decision reached was, that on the
question Of granting a charter Interior
consequences could not be considered,
but would become subjects for the adju-
dication of the courts. The charter will
be granted.
There is quite flood OF applications
for charters for natural gas companies in
the western part of the State. A charter
was granted some time since to a COM
panv in that re zion, and the shareholders
hearing that other similar applications
would be made, appeared before the
State Department by counsel to contest
the legality Of the issue of charters for
companies to compete with them. They
based their claims of exclusive right on
the provision of the act Of 1874, Sc
curing the companies chartered to
manufacture and distribute gas in
towns. exclusive right for five years. The
Attorney General however held the
opinion that that act only applies to man
ufacturers of artificial gas and not to dis
tributors natural gas, and therefore the
charters will be issued.
Three new applications were filed to-
day, all for Allegheny county: One for the
"Fayette gas company, in Fayctte town
ship, corporators James Grier, Albert
Torrance, Samuel NJ. Stewart, James
Mitchell and G. Il. M'Key, Of Pittsburg,
the others, one for Findly and one for
Moon township by the same corporators.

Thomas Hays, arrested Christmas day
for biting the finger of Lewis Lenhart
nearly off in fight, had hearing last
evening. Lenhart claims that he had
gone Into the Baumgardn er house on
the day of the fNcas, and after taking a
drink he turned around, when Hays
caught him by the throat, and as he
threw up his hand, the prisoner caught
it and began chewing the finger. The
latter admits the charge, and at the
hearing was very anxious TO settle the
matter by paying all costs in the case.
The Mayor refused any settlement, and
in default Of bail Hays was locked up for
court.

Couldn't Be Expected to.

Two ladies entered Fort street-car
one day recently and took seats beside AZ
lady well known to one of them. She
gave her friend an Introduction, and
directly this one remarked:

you were terribly uneasy

A Phenomenal Maine Girl.

The antagonist of modern advanced
education, if there be any, should have
heard little lecture that a gentleman
gave on the street Wednesday morning.
The question had arisen as to the ten
dency of modern advanced education to
create disgust for manual labor. The
gentleman told an anecdOte. A young
lady, who is very well known in Lewis
ton and Auburn, and who has had
liberal education In America, course
of study in the German schools, and
who has since taught in some of the
leading schools of this State and others,
came home to her fathers farm this
summer. The hours hung rather
heavily. Gather, your Office needs
shingling," says she one day. The next
day the shingles were on the spot, and
the young lady proposed to have some
fun and combine it in a legitimate way
with solid work. She built the stagings
geometrically, ran the lines after Euclid,
and shingled the Office as neatly and ex-
peditiously as the village professor OF
shingling himself could have done. She
pulled down the staging and erected it
again over the ell to the house, and, IN
spite of parental injunction, shingled
the ell and sloping shed attached She
practiced music for pleasure In the
meantime, however, and read German
for a pastime. Nothing" added the
gentleman, '''Rould be further from her
own MEDITATION than notoriety. -

THANKSGIT-
sGRANDM0THER's
ING.

of all the dear old memories
Around my heart that cluster,
And keep undtmmed through length OF days
Their radiant childish lustre,
Thanksgiving Day to me still brings
The sweetest Of remembered things.
a lonely, childish life lived,
OF narrowest comprehension;
And if ] laughed, or If / grieVed,
1t was not worth the mention:
kept the letter of the word
That children should be seen, not heardI
But once in every year there came
An unrestricted pleasure;
From year to year 1t was the same
Pure Joy without measure:
For old and young, and grave and gay,
We went to dine with Grandsir' Gray.
IT'S sixty years and more, an mel.
Since Grandsir went to glory,
But still his kindly face I gee,
Set in its gray beard hoary,
And still the CHEEKY voice hear
That welcomed me just once year.
81 want ye to enjoy yourselves
His kind, oid-fashioned greeting;
There's some'at on the pantry-shelVes
That's may be good for eating;
Take what ye please, an then go play
It's open house Thanksgiving Day
We were not slow, you may be sure,
To do as we were hidden;
And oh, the cider sweet and pure,
We drank that day unchidden-
The apples and the gingerbread
WhereWith our souls were cOmfortedI
And oh, the free, unstinted play
In the crisp autumn weather.
The merry tumbling in the hay
OF boys and girls together
The laugh, the chatter and the fun,
Till all the blissful day was done!
/ met my John at Grandsir' Gray's,
When was growing older,
And with young things silly ways,
/ turned him the cold shoulder;
But he was wiser than l knew,
And read my nonsense through and through
MY John! I never shall forget
The day he leaned above me,
And whispered: You may laugh, but yet
You can't deny you love mel!
couldn't either-it was true
And so laughed and said: II dol'
'"Do what? Deny it, or confess?'
He asked me in n hurry;
sob, that's for you,' 1 said, ito guessP'
And kept him in a worry
For all he was so wise and strong
About the matter all night long.
My John! my John! his bonny head
Beneath the sod is lying;
Twas one Thanksgiving we were wed,
And one when he lay dying;
But years between of sweet content
Proved well enough the thing meant.
And though he's left me lonely hero
And somewhat tired of living,
i think before another year
I'll have my new Thanksgiving,
And lose the memories sweet to me,
In more sweet reality.

Married for Keeps.

The skipper CT a coal boat on the Bal
timore & Ohio Canal recently decided,
after mature deliberation and careful
consideration, to marry his cook, who
had been a tried and faithful servant to
him for quite number of his perilous
trips on the storm-lashed canal. So he
spoke to her about the matter one day,
and after securing her coy consent, he
ordered the boat tied up at a small
town, and being a practical skipper,
skipped up street after a parSOn. The
nuptial knot was soon tied, the parson
beaten down to dollar and a half for
his fee, and then the canal boatman
said:
'.Weu Melindy, we are married fur
keeps, now. We are hitched fur life,
and must pull together. I'm a little
short-handed to-day. and as that lead
mule has got saddle gals on his back,
you list take the tow path, and lead him
down to Harper's Ferry, an I'll steer,
an kinder ruminate on some plan to
g1ye you work on the boat without go
ing ashore in the mud. I've got a pow
erful sight more respect for you now,
that you're my wife. ~ eras iS!ftingS.

The Rio Grande Republican, in . flippant article upon John Howard Payne, calls 'AHome, Sweet Home" a swishy-washy" production, in face oi the fact that it is sung with heartfelt tathos all over the world. The writer and a man who was killed by the Apaches last summer, were in the Sierra sMadres in Mexico four years ago, and were travelling from Mul- lattos to Teratchi. Going along an Indian trail they heard the air of Home, Sweet Home" whistled, and were congratnlating themselves upon the probability of meeting white man, when as black a Terremarra In. dian as we ever saw, mounted on . homesick looking mule came around a bend in the trail. The man knew the sentiment of the song, and it made his black face look like materialized music. This same paper says that ''the sentiment of home is fast dying out God help man, community or . country when love of home becomes an empty abstraction instead of vital fact. With its death, dies respect for law, patriotism and the holiest asso- citations that can lodge. in human hearts. "Homei Sweet Hone,' will live till time is over, and it's melody will continue as beautiful and eleva- ting as the vocal pathos,' which rolls beyond the unseen stars" "What. is excellent, as God lives, is permanent" " So said Emerson; and, it is just as truthful to say that what is 'perma- nent" must have excellence init.

NO MURDRR.

The Tombstone anti.Indian resolu. tiohs are as right as a ajpdgment of God. Remove the Indians" suits the BiIf; but not by the rife or the rope, except in the case of. red.handed mur- derers. A wholesale killing of the reservation Indians means death to Mohaves who have kept in check, these last few years, the hellish pro- pensities of the White Mountain and Tonto Indians; it means death to the .Yumas who have been the persistent friends of the whites, and but for whom the pages of Arizona history, written in blood, would have been volumes.

wrong doing, over bis own signature. Mfr. Wilcox closed the stores of these men up on the 0osh of March, and forced Mir. Council to a sale by which he sustainsd . loss of about $S,000. A building which cost him $2,100 was sold to MT. Wilcox's son-in.law for A25. His goods went at the same rates. They had no value outside of an Indian market. Mir. Cornell is an industrious, steady young man, but this Indian Agent has forced him into bankruptcy, Mr. Woods goods and buildings are worth 12,000; he has offered them to Wilcox and his son-in- law for $S,OO0, but they are trying to force him flower. It is . shocking commentary upon what we are proud, on Fourth of July. to call . "patsrnal government, to see 1t use the terrible strength which lies in it to crush two insignificant country merchants. It is no answer to say that Mir. Wilco1 is doing it,-he gets his power from Secretary Teller, and he from the President of the United States. The fact stands: out broadly and boldly that a government ruling nearly fifty millions of people, can and does use its power, in oonttavention of tho laws 'madsiby itself,sto crush two humble subjects who are not guilty of any crime. |
 Mir. Teller denies having promised Wilcox sole-tradership; but the fact exists all the same, that the only two stores running at the San Carlos Agency are owned nominally by Mir. Wilcox's son-in-law-but really by the agent himself.
 We have presented this case clearly and connectedly, and challenge suc- cessful denial that the conclusion is irresistible that Mr. Teller is using the power delegated to him by the Presi- dent in an arbitrary and dishonorable manner. A&,.
