Hit the wrong Man.

Last Saturday morning while a ballast
train was being unloaded near the coal
schutes at Mahanoy Plane, James McGin-
ness, an employee on the train, threw "a
stone at l. d. Lime, general dispatcher on
the Mahanoy and Shamokin branch of the
Philadelphia and Reading Road, who was
standing close by striking him on the left
cheek, inflicting terrible wound and
knocking him senseless When McGinness
was taken into custody he said that he mis-
took Mr.. Lime for NJ. NJ. LNelle, well
known member of the Schuylkill county
bar, against whom he has grudge.

An examination of the Constitution OF
Pennsylvania, exhibiting the derivation
and history of its several provisions by
Charles r. Buckalew.
This volume, of over $50 pages, Svo.,
has been in contemplation and preparation
by the author, ever since the adoption OF
the constitution, of which it contains the
text, history and judicial decisions in eX-
PLANTATION of its provisions. 1t is a store
house of citations and authorities. Not
only have the constitutions of 1888, OF l'9o
and of 1776 been examined, but also those
of all the other states, and of the United
States. The decisions of our own courts
are cited, and reference made to those OF
other states, in the examination OF ike or
similar provisions. The several Acts OF
the British Parliament, when on the same
subject matter are referred to or quoted.
The debates in convention are largely
| drawn upon, and are supplemented by the
personal interest of the writer in them. 80

L
without saying that no student of the con-
stitution and of its history can afford to be
| without this book. 1t is the only one on
this subject and its distinguished author
is probably the best qualified man in the
state for this Ework. 1t is to be observed
that levery section of the Declaration OF
Rights" and every section of the ''constitu-
ton" and schedule" are given, with notes
and references more or less free; and in
some cases conclusions and constructions
are discussed at considerable length
| A very slight examination of the book
will show the great labor bestowed upon it.
At the head of each article is placed an
ANALYSIS of its contents, and quarter OF a
page of citation of authorities is not un'
usual The book is beautifully printed
the text in conspicuous type, and the
notes. comments and authorities in smaller

amendments were blessing to cities in all
parts of the state, that were in Strengthened

the opinion that, but for these laws and

of the project have received his especial at

consultations with the leading men OF the

Shipment of Pc aches West.

Fred w. Smith, Agent Pennsylvania
Railroad has issued IL printed circular
dated MiddletOwn, Del, August 1st, call
ing the attention of peach growers to their
facilities and low rates of freight on ship
ments West He says: Don't forget to
order all shipments by the Pennsylvania
Railroad. Other lines may solicit your
shipments, but the reputation of this great
line is enough to tell you that peaches by
this route will receive the most careful at
tentiOn, and we trust you will order all
your shipments by the Pennsylvania Rail
road"
Does Fred w. Smith know of the uni
versal complaint of the peach growers last
season relative TO their shipments of fruit to
Boston, and the great delay in getting
their empty baskets returned? They had
cause to complain of the miserable and in
efficient management in that respect by the
2. w. & B. Railroad and when that road
passed under control of the great Pennsyl-
Vania they were assured all causes for COM
plant would be obviated, but instead, the
management was worse than ever before
and complaints universal. The West
affords no markets for profitable shipments
of peaches from Delaware. The Eastern
States are the best lovers and consumers of
peaches and if Fred w. Smith will turn hi.

time and other extra facilities which he
does not name, he can be of more service

Phosphate AuaIYsis. .

The analysis of the different brands
of phosphate by the State Chemist of
Pennsylvania, DIR. Genth, and the
State Chemist of Delaware, DIR. Wolf,
have shown such wide difference in
the values of the same material that
formed the component parts of the diff
ferent makes that it has cast doubt
in the minds of many as to the reliabili-
ty of the analysis in fixing their posi-
tive values. A writer from Odessa to
the EUery EUening presumably, III. Fl.
Appleton) thus explains the discrepan-
cy:
"In Pennsylvania the law authoriz-
ing the analysis and classification of
phOsphates, &c, puts the whole matter
in the hands of the State Board of
Agriculture, which also fixes the prices
at which the chemical ingredients shall
be valued, they being subject to the
same huctuatiOn in prices as other
articles of trade. In this State the
prices are arbitrarily fixed by law, and
so much above the true commercial
values that the mark has been over
shot. The only Ingredients of value in
phosphateS ascertained by the chemist
and recognized by dealers are ammonia
Tor nitrogen), phosphoric acid and
potash. The values per pound as al
lowed in Pennsylvania are: ammonia,
III cents; available phOsphoric acid,
10 cents; insOluble (bone), cents
potash, 6 cents. In our State the prices
established by law are: ammonia, %
cents; available phosphoric acid, 12I
cents; potash, s cents.
If any one will take the trouble to
ascertain the number of pounds of each
of the above named ingredients in ton
of the same make of phosphate as given
by Drs. Genth and Wolf, and estimate
them at the different prices for the
same articles as allowed or fixed in
the different States, the discrepancy
noticed and criticised will be account
ed for. State Senator Cavender OF
Smyrna, called the attention of the
Legislature to the unfairness of Oul
law OH the subject referred to, and in.
troduced and advocated in the Senate
an amendment relieving it of the oh
jectiOnal features noticed, hut for somt
reason it failed of final passage"

See After the Children.

"The foundation of good manners
are to be laid in childhood, and chiefly
in the home and school," This brief
but very suggestive sentence we COM
mend to those whom it most concerns.
True enough, good manners are not
the most important thing, but they fol-
low closely upon the most important
things, and the assertion goes without
saying that any attempt to get on with
out them is necessarily very much him
dered. Inasmuch as childhood is a
prominent fact i'll this place, childhood
romping, resting, squabbling, scream
ing-childhood in tatters or pranked
out in over-much finery, childhood of
rosy countenance and merry voice, or
childhood with old or vicious face, it
becomes a matter of no small import
ance that parents and guardians should
watch those foundations of good man
ners, that if laid at all are to be laid in
youth. Surely there is need enough
that good manners should be popular
lied. Anybody that walks our streets
at night must see sights and hear
sounds which indicate sad lack of
them. So many children with SO many
ways of asserting that good manners
have no place in their concern are Il
painful fact"

&nlYrna &fniiOIl.

The increased traffic at Smyrna sta
ton is demanding increased facilities
for handling it on the part of the rail-
road company. The track now used
for unloading and loading freight has
become too much crowded, causing un-
necessary delay and inconvenience to
persons receiving or delivering freight.
A part of the track only can be used
for general traffic, the coal bins occu-
pying the balance. Another track
might be laid in the rear of the station
house connecting with the present
track OH curve SO that both could be
used without backing the cars coming
in or going out from the station and
then both could be used to advantage,
one for loading ana VglQading frgit and
other produce and the other for gem
eral traffic. If this were done at once,
the increased shipments of fruit and
produce at this station this season
would largely compensate the company
for the improvement. Fruit growers
who have hitherto felt themselves
obliged to segd t4elp ffglt to Clayton,
would be induced to deliver it in the
cars here and thereby save in the haul
very considerable distance, while the
showing Of the earnings of the branch
road would be the result of the traffic
properly belonging t1 i, which IL now
marged in the accounts at Clayton
The considerte attention of the rail
road officials is invited to these sugges
tions with the object of Increasing facil
tiles of our citizeHs in their business
transactions with the railroad com
| pany.
