Some time last year there was q
wooden bedstead manufactured which
was intended for the use of the King
of Siam. 1t was II feet wide, and di-
vided into three parts, the center part
being raised about Is inches. This
piece of furniture, being of such un-
usual dimensions, caused slight SEN
sation among all those who were per-
mtted to examine it. But the bed
stead made in Paris lately for an In
dian prince would draw thousands to
see it were it exhibited in New York,
even if fancy prices were charged for
admission. The bedstead is partly
made of real silver, and costs many
thousands of dollars. At each corner
stands beautifully modelled nude te-
male figure, life size, holding a deli
it is said wears wig of real nair.
This is to be regularly dressed by the
court barber once week. Upon the
great potentate getting into bed the
weight of his body sets certain ma
chinery in motion, the effect of which
is that so long as his royal highness
enjoys his "horizOntal refreshment"
the silver maidens gently fan the
sleeper. If the figures at the foot Of
the bed are required to exert them
selves in like manner, this can be
accomplished by the aid of clock
like apparatus. Moreover, should the
dusky owner of the bed wish to be
lulled to slumber by the ducet sounds
of soft music, this can be done by
touching a spring. The bottom of the
bed contains a large musical box,
which is so arranged that the tunes
can be loud or soft as desired.

Gov. Butler of Massachusetts has
been defeated in his war against a
woman. Not liking Mrs. Clara Il.
Leonard, Il member of the old state
board of health, lunacy and charity,
he declared her place vacant on the
ground that she was not person, and
made an appointment to fill the va
cancy which he held existed. The
council declined to accept his inter
probation of the law, and an appeal
was made to the court, which decided
that Mrs. Leonard is "a person" un-
der the statutes, and that she is as
fully and legally Il member of the
board as any other one of the eight
who are her colleagues. The court
says that the word persons in its
natural and usual Specification, in
cludes women rs well as men. There
is no incompatibility between the ma
ture and character of the duties of the
board and their due performance by
women; and the fair Inference, there
fore. is that the legislature intended
to use the words of the statute author
izing the appointment Of The board,
tn their usual and natural sense, and
that constituting them according to
their common and approved usage Of
the language, they include women a.
persons competent 10 be appointed
members of the board.

EGYPT,s NEM PREMIER.

Nubar Pasha, who has been called to
the head of affairs in Egypt is a states
man of deserved prominence. He IS sixty
years old, an Armenian Christian, and
was educated in England. In 1850 he
secured for the then Niceroy OF Egypt
Abba Pasha, during special mission to
England, that recognition of his quasi
independence of the Sultan upon which
all the fabric Of Egyptian power and
prosperity has since been built up. The
construction Of the Suez canal was fur
thered by his skillful cooperation from
the very first, and to his personal intiu-
ence at European courts, as well as with
Ismail Pasha, must mainly be attributed
the successful carrying out of the impOr-
tant reforms in the consular jurisdiction
in Egypt, for which he began to negotiate
in 1867, and which were consummated
about five years ago. He it was, too
who, as minister Of public works, gave
Egypt her new industries OF cotton and
sugar, and first pushed the conquests OF
the Khedive into the tar South. AT va
riOus times he acted as q memOer OF
Egyptian Cabinets, and labored to rescue
the country from financial min. He op-
posed the elevation of the present khe-
dive, Prince Tewfk, to the throne, being
in favor of Hahn Pasha and was conse-
quentlV in exile for several years. Recent
events in Egypt have certainly not tended
to change Nuber's opinion, and 1t would
not be surprising if the new premier were
to inaugurate a movement looking to the
of Tewfik for Hahn.

STATE JOURNAL:
1t has been my privilege, and also
pleasure, to peruse your valuable pa
per for some time, and as | sat read
ing the STATE JOURNAL today my
thoughts reverted to its birth, and l
can not refrain from expressing that
old maxim: 'In unity there is strength
and when combined with persever-
ance then comes the grand result
which you have achieved, success,
But yesterday it was an infant, to-
day it stands in bold relief a credit to
its people throughout not only Penn
sylvania but the United States. |
predict for it most brilliant future.
The citizens Of your city must fully
realize the power of so valuable a
paper among our people, for does rot
the enlargement of such en- enterprise
prove beneficial to the race in giving
our bright, intelligent lads an OPP
portunity to become printers and
business men, and inspires in them a
hope for future progress more brilliant
than ever before. If they but follow
in the foot prints of the youthful edi-
tor of the STATE JOURNAL and com
bine energy, perseverance and an in
vincible determination they will ac-
complish something commendable and
lasting. That the STATE Journal
may prosper and have long life is the
wish of An OBSERVER.

Peace be Within Thy Walls,
Oh, Zionl

The angel Of peace has spread its
wings abroad and reigns supreme
within the sicred precincts of Wesley
Church. The difficulties which have
existed in the church for fully eight
years, between certain members
notwithstanding the contradiction by
one of the principal actors, in last
Sundays ZeIegrcm-has at last been
settled, the Ratchet has been buried
we hope handle and all-uever to be
dug up again. Great rejoicing has
been the result of the settlement;
hand shaking and congratulations
has been INDUCED in, and while the
church rejoices the community cries
amen to the suppression Of difficulty
in which some of our best citizens
were involved. We regret that our
illusions to the affair has been taken
in bad spirit, but as a public press we
desire to give cur readers the benefit
Of all news, whether in church or
state, and regardless Of who may be
interested or involved. By doing
this, a class of people who are unable
to comprehend the scope of 8 news
paper, make silly criticisms and
charge US with personal and injurious
intent; but we are above doing any
thing outside of our legitimate call
ing of furnishing the public with
news, and no one rejoices more than
we do when a difficulty which has
been like wet blanket upon the re
liglous ardor of a church has been
happily removed, where sel6shness
and egotism has been suppressed,
and sweet scented peace, like the an
gel it is, brings gladness to all hearts.
The Market House question is
back to where it started from, except
that the city is out several hundred
dollars for plans, specifications, &c,
for councils to play with.

Duties are Usurped by Others.
At the session of the Commission for
the Revision of Public Accounts, held
last evening in the Office Of B. F. Mead,
ESD, communications were received from
Secretary Stengcr, Auditor General
Lemon, Secretary Africa and Superin-
tendent Higbee containing suggestions as
to the proper methods for keeping De-
partment accounts There was a general
Interchange CT opinions, the tenor Of
which was that there should be but one
auditing department through which war
rants for disbursement Of the State funds
should pass 1t was stated that the Au-
ditor General does not audit half the &C
counts, and in the pamphlctturnishcd the
committee by Messrs. Mead and Graffen
the gentlemen say:
IN this connection, it is proper to
show to what extent the acts OF Assem-
bly, referred to have operated in depriv-
ing the Auditor General Of the powers
vested in the act of 1911, and attention is
directed to the following tabular state
ment, compiled for the reports of the
Auditor General for 1881, showing the
funds expended under the direction of
State officials by existing laws, and for
which no warrants are drawn or counter
signed by the Auditor General

"The above amount represents fifty
two per cent. Of the total expenses for the
year referred to, consequently the Au-
ditor General for that time was response
bic for but forty eight per cent. of the
expenditures. The year 1881 is used for
comparison, because in the succeeding
year the loans redeemed amounted to
over nine millions, and as the Auditor
General has no jurisdiction in such mat
ter, the greater percentage of funds so
expended would not represent the fair
annual average as well as the year Sc
lected. "
The committee, after discussion, adj
iourned to meet this morning.
This morning the Commissioners met
at the office of B. T. Mead, Esq, intend
ing to visit the various departments ''on
the Hill" The bad weather, however,
interfered with their plans and the mem
bers took up the discussion of the various
suggestion made by the department
heads mentioned above. The discussion
continued up to 1 o'clock. 1t was eX-
pected that visit would be paid the de,
partmeuts this afternoon.

Who Will Decide the Market
House Question.

That the people Oh IiarTlsou'g
are in need of and want a new
market house every sane man will
admit but just how, when and
where they are to have it is the ques-
ton which puzzles the average citi-
| zen We recognize in our city
| councils men of ability, serving their
constituents faithfully and legislating
apparently in an honest manner for
the best interest of the city, yet dis
pite the most careful attempt at con
ceaIment there can be discovered in
the actions Of some men selfishness
and desire to carry cat their cwn
private views in Difference to the
wishes Of the people.
Men in public life, as servants
to the people, constantly talk of the
peoples desires, but nine cases out
Of ten legislate SO as to meet the ap-
proval Of the few and not the many.
A resolution was offered in the last
meeting Of councils to submit the
market house question to the people,
and we would ask where is there a
higher authority to settle the vexed
question? These markets are 10 be
erected by the peoples money: they
are to be supported by the peoples
patronage, and when the peoples
servants cannot 8gree, who else is to
decide the matter but the people
There is no doubt but what this reso
luton would have passed, but being
every on the alert for possible error
or a flaw by which to defeat any pro.
jact to which they are opposed, GER
tain gentlemen made so great
mountain out Of so small mole hill
as to defeSt the whole resolution, in
place Of striking out the so called il
legal part of the resolution and allow
ing it to go before the people. 4
few lines easily corrected, if wrong,
was sufficient to defeat the entire
resolution. A conference committee
meets md fail to agree, and we are
no nearer new markets to day than
q year ago. Members OF councils
have been SO frequently given to a
change ct opinion that but few Of
them stand in the same position first
assumed on the question. We hold
that it is the imperative duty OF coun,
ellis to submit this whole matter to
the people, in view of the TACT that
councils cannot agree as to whether
we are to have new markets or where
we are 10 have them, for the mule
activeness Gf we are allowed to use
the term Of number of our coun-
cilmen will prevent their erection any
where and the people want markets.
