four very " eaItny Women.

Some of the very rich women or New
York have many peculiarities. Mrs.
Stewart, for instance, never opens her
front windows and she g e. out driving
so seldom that even the nei.hbors on
The adjoining block do not know
her. She is a sincere Christian, be-
lleving more firmly in the English
Church than any other, and yet
wOrshiping more tn suit her own quiet
taste than according to any set tenets
of faith She does not care for her per-
SOnal appearance and does not dress half
so neatly as her servants. She walks
out Of pleasant afternoons twice or
thrice week, and while always accom-
panied at respectful distance by a
strong man servant, she looks so COM
monplace that not one of the multitude
are aware that she is the richest widow
IN the world. Mrs Stewart always car
ries gOOdly sized coins for beggars.
Miss Wolfe differs from Mrs. Stewart
in this respect. When she meetsa beg
gar she must know his or herreferences
before dong any thing of a substantial
nature. 1t is very difficult matter to
Tx the age of Miss Wolfe. She is no
longer young, aud yet she does not look
old. She possesses a face OF the type
that never ages. There IS q story Of
her having loved brave fellow some
gears ago, and that he passed away be-
fore the day agreed upon for the we'd
ding, and when he was buried her
heart also was put away in the tomb.
Ii Is pretty romance, all devotion. no.
thing but truth and pureness, and she
now devOteS her life to Charity.
Mrs. GOelet, like her late husband, Is
OF Il retiring disposition. For intervals
of weeks she will remain closely at
home, out TO all callers, and then again
she viii be seen at every place OF note
in the city. Her jewels are said TO be
the finest private collection in the coun-
try. The Goelets were always curious
family.
But the most sensible and attractive
of the rich ladies in New York whom
this article has called to mind is Mrs.
Marshall D. Roberts. The widow of a
mining king. intelligent, cultured and
she, with s. OOJ,00O in her
own right. numbers her suitOrs by the
dozens. Some time ago, it viii be
readily recalled. the goSsips said that
she proposed to enter the White House
as the wife of Arthur and its mistress.
According 10 an informant of mine,
Mrs. Roberts, when this story came to
her ears, burst out crying as though her
heart would break, pronounced it false,
and supplemented it with the statement
that she would never again go to the
altar as an pXSDpctaut hrfdp She ia tha
center of social circle of brave men
and women, does great deal IN aid of
literature and art and is well known 10
the poor of the Five Points and the
East Side.

An Astonished Librarian.

\ book agent with an ermine trimmed
and lined Overcoat, a cap of Russian
seal and driving magnificent span Of
grays drove down Bank street, New
London, Conn, and after repeated in
quiries succeeded in finding the down
town reading room at the corner or
Bank and Howard streets. He had
trunk and valise deposited at the door
and was setting out his samples Of cy-
clopedias, scientific digests and stan
dard authors in the various styles OF
binding. before the astonished eyes Of
Librarian Clarke, when the latter got
breath enough to ask him into the read
ing room. The agent stepped over the
threshold, threw one swift glance
around, mGttered an ejaculation which
was not prayer, packed his trunk in a
hurry, closed it with bang and drove
up town as if Tom O'Shanter's pursu-
ers were cutting behind. Alexander
took or his hat, scratched his head and
as he looked after the flying book agent
wondered what it was that made him
mad.

a SKIlFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr. Kasson, has lately forwarded TO his
Government an interesting account of n
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of n portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly OncLhird rf the Organ-and,
strange To say, the patient recovered
the only successful operation of the
kind ever performed. The disease for
which this operation was performed
was cancer of the stomach, attended with
the following symptoms The appetite
is quite poor. There is peculiar hides.
cribable distress in the stomach, Il feel.
ing that has been described rs Il faint
"dU ,goHe" sensation; II sticky slime col.
lects about the teeth, especially i'll the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, 1T
appears TO aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are slnken, tingcd with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
cold pcrspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore
bodings. When rising suddenly from
recumbcnt position there is dizziness,
whistling sensation, and he is obliged
10 grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costivc, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom.
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After Il time the
patient splits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmcntcd con
dtion, sometimes swcctish to the taste.
Oftentimes there is II palpitation of the
heart, and the patient fears he may have
heart disease. Towards the last the
patient is unable to retain any food
whatever, as the opening in the mites.
tines becomes closed, or nearly So Al.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases out of Il
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia,,a disease easily removed if
treated in proper manner The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigels Curative Syrup, n vegetable pre-.
paration sold by all chemists and medi.
cine vendors throughout the world and
by the proprietors, a. j. White Limit-
ed), II, Farringdon.road, London, Il. c.
This Syrup strikes at the very fOunda.
ton of the disease, and drives il, root
and branch, out of the system.

Earthquake.

About 2 o'clock on Sunday after
noon an earthquake shock struck
Philadelphia No serious accidents
took place. Many chimneys fell over,
and loose walls came down and some
solid brick and stone walls were
cracked. The Times says. the vio-
lent earth tremor was sickening in
its effect on both the brain and di-
gestive organs. The vibration lasted
from twelve to eighteen seconds, lon
ger in some parts of the city than
others 1t awakened mental sensa-
tions unknown to those who hadnev-
before felt the ground shake beneath
them. 1t made towards of strong
men, and the only people who were
not more or less frightened were
those who had not detected the pres
enee of the extraordinary phenomen-
on. In some parts of the city, pee

women fell upon their knees on the
pavement and prayed for forgiveness
of their sins They declared after
ward that they imagined the day OF
judgement had come.
The cab horses standing at the
Broad Street Depot in many instan
ces exhibited signs of terror anu
trembled with fright long after the
shock. There was almost a panic in
the stables of the Continental Hotel
among the fifty animals stabbed there.
The manager of the stables said that
a very intelligent mare, named Fanny,
first showed fear.
Almost hundred guests jumped
to their feet with fright at the shock
from the tables of the Continental
Hotel dining room. The prevailing
idea was that some heavy explosion
had taken place in the immediate
neighborhood.

Juniata County Wheat.

Mr.. Samuel Davis brought to our Office
yesterday morning the largest head of
wheat, We suppose, that can be found in
this section. 1t measures nine inches in
length and is perfectly filed. Mr.. D. pro-
cured the seed in Juniata county, and it is
called the South American Diamond.
There has certainly never been variety in
these parts that grew to such enormous
length.
The item Just read was published in the
New Holland, Lancaster comfy, Clarion,
OF August ., 1884. The Mr.. Samuel Da-
Wis, referred to, is the man who third of a
century ago was engaged in the timing and
foundry businesss in Miffiintown, and that
he has not yet forgotten Juniata county, is
evidenced by the fact that he has drawn
upon some of the choice varieties of iwheat
grown here for seed.

Dean RAMSEY used to tell a story
of his preaching in Highland church
es where the rural congregation,
largely shepherds, invariably came to
the kirk attended by their dogs. The
story runs that these sagacious ami
mails learned to know the rising of
the congregation at the concluding
sentence of the sermon as token of
the speedy conclusion of the service,
and at this moment were wont to in
dulge in indecorous barks of delight
TO the scandal of their worthy own
ers. On one occasion a stranger
was to preach, and the congregation
laid their plans accordingly. The
preacher concluded his address with
the usual words, and raised his hand
to offer the benediction; but not a
soul in the congregation rose to his
feet. Noting the ministers look of
surprise, an old shepherd remarked
in a stage whisper, "Say ava, sir!
Say ava, sir! We're only sitting still
to cheat the dogs

Mr.. EDIrOR.-I would announce the
name of W. C. POmerov, OF Port Royal, for
State Senator. In doing so express the
wishes of large number of Republicans in
this county and IN this Senatorial district.
Mr.. PomerOy. as a member of the Legisla-
ture, was a popular representative. He was
faithful in inc discharge OF Lis official du-
ties. He voted against The continuance OF
the extra session. He voted for an ad-
jOurnment on every occasion, when he
found no agreement could be had between
the Senate and the House. His course in
the House of Representatives was such as
to deserve commeuddtion. Knowing the
wants of his constituents so well, and with
his legislative experience, his nomination
would be a merited Que, and be TO the best
interests Of the Republican party.

Facilities for Reaching the
Seaside.

There never has been a time when the
numberless resorts of the New Jersey coast
were so easy of access to the people of the
adjacent States as the present. From New
York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Mary
land, the lines of the Pennsylvania system
connect closely at Philadelphia or elsewher e
with the seashore roads, making it possible
for residentc of the sections named to reach
the Atlantic with, in most cases, a single
change of cars. From Philadelphia, nine
express trans leave every weekdays, two
additional on Saturday and four on Sunday,
for Atlantic City; three for Cape May on
two on Sunday, for Long Branch, and the
long list of resorts on the upper coast.
These trains run al hours best suited to the
needs of travellers, and reach, direct or by
connection, every point of interest from
Cape May Point to Sunday Hook.
An equal number OF trains run from the
