A Celebrated Running Sailor.

The pedestrian feats of the present
day are cast into the shade by the re-
corded exploits of Earnest Mcnscn, II
Norwegian sailor in the English navy,
early in the present century. Mcnsen
first attracted attention by running from
London to Portsmouth in nine hours.
and soon after he ran from London
to Liverpool in thirly-two hours HAY
ing distinguished himself at the battle of
Navarino, in 1927, he left the navy and
became "a professional runner. After
winning number of matches, he un-
dcrtook the feat of running from Paris
to Moscow.
Starting from the Place Ncndomc at
4 O'Clock in the afternoon of june II
1881. he entered the Krcmlin at 10
o'clock A. NJ, on June -, having ac-
complished the distance of seven
teen hundred and sixty miles in
thirteen days and eighteen hours
The employment of Men,cn rs II
courier-eNtraordinay became Il pop
ular amusement in European courts.
He ran from country to country. bear
ing messages of congratulations condo
lcnce, or dispatches, and always beat
mounted couricrs when matched against
them.
He never walked but invariably run,
his refreshments being biscuit and ra-p-
berry syrup. He took two short rests
only in twentv-four hours. These rests
he took standing, and leaning against
some support; al such times he covered
his face with handkerchief and slept,
In 1886, while in the employ OF the East
India Company, MenSen was charged
with the conveying of dispatches from
Calcutta To ConStantinople through cen
trail Asia The distance i, five thou-
SAND six hundred and fifteen miles,
which the messenger accomplished in
iifty-nine days, or in one ;hird OF the
time taken. by the swittest caravan. AT
last he was employed to discover the
source OF the Nile,
Setting out from Silesia on May l..
lSi3, he ran to Jerusalem, and thence
to Cairo, and up the western bank OF
the river into Upper Egypt Here, just
outside the village of Syang, he was
seen to stop and rest leaning against a
palm tree. his face covered with a
handkerchief. He rested so long that
some persons tried to wake him; but
they tried in vain for he was dead. He
was buried at the foot Of the tree, and
it was years before his friends in Europe
knew what tate had beiallen him .- ~

There is no article of household econo
my that wants better judgment and mo q
care In selecting than the tea we drink
daily, because there is constantly cheap
and worthless disoolored stuff offered ia
the public at apparently low prices; but
really dear at any figure. When per.
son offers you tea for fifty cents a
pound which he claims to be as good as
. reputable dealer asks seventy-five
cents for. you can either put him down
as ignorant of what he is saying or a
down right frand. A choice quality of
tea, like everything else, has its real
value. Our Sun Chop Tea. which has
been before the public six years, is to-
day more popular than ever; and our
sales OF the same have increased more
than a hundred per cent. during the
last twelve months. This, and our
Blended Tea, of which Sun Chop is the
basis. has no superior in the United
States. @. p. SroNr

The Coal Trade.
Lehightoh, June 4, 1884

Philadelphia Press Of 2lst inst The coal
companies have again had recourse to their
usual prescription for dull trade-when
they find they can't sell coal they mark the
price up on paper. Everybody knows that
circular rates have been shaded from ten to
sixty cents per ton, that there are $50 900
tons OF coal row on the docks at Shipping
points, and that general trade is as slack as
ever. Admitting this fact, the colhpanles
who so brayely cried that there was no
reason to apprehend any suspension what
eyer after May, have not only worked half
time in June, but continue the same plan
through July. This will make the number
Of working daye Tor the first seven months
Of the year smaller than ever before, and
yet thew seriously PROPOSE a still further
advance in the price. The companies CON
trolling the very best Goa make no pretence
that they are getting circular rates, but they
meet prices, and. therefore, are easily en-
sbled to sell their full product. The Lehigh
companies report the demand greater than
ran be met with halitime work, while the
Reading has no accumulation at Tidewater,
but it is quite evident that nothing but
the largely increased demand Tor coal in
the West will enable them to market ns
much coal as was sold last year. The
local dealers are doing but very little, and
there is no particular activity anyNhere.

For Assembly.

/ hereby announce myself as candi-
date for the Nomination and election Of
a Democratic Representative for the next
Legislature. Whether elected or defeat
ed, l shall continue to labor for the COM
plete overthrow of all monopolies and
the various means and agencies which
are continually employed to oppress the
poor, firmly believing that neither Ma
ture nor God ever designed that the poor
should be, as they now are, virtually, the
slaves of the Plutocracy--better known
as tho MONEY POWER Good wage.
for fair days work, to be promptly paid
in cash, should be the law, and no Com
pdny Stores, nor any other methods
should be allowed to exist, to overAreacl
the laborer.
Strongly believing that these are, q
m9ng others, really the great and vita
things that are of practical Importance
TO the MASSES of the people, and that they
must be radically corrected, sooner o.
later. / pledge myself, under all circum
stances, to advocate them with an un
yielding conviction, that it is for justice
right and the good of humanity. And
shall do it with energy and force.
