To the south of the town, across the bridge
over the Schuylkill, is Lime Box Hill, inter
esting to tie gcologi3t as showing the
extensive upheaval and subsequent denuda-
ton which this district has undergone in the
earlier ages of the oarths history. A section
is well exposed Immediately on crossing the
bridge, and shows the strata dipping to tic
eastward at an angle of 60 degrees. The
qualification is exceedingly well-marked.
The rocks probably belong TO the early
Silurian age, and consist of metamorphOsed

For TIE WfLMtNGToSIAS.
Every telegram that reaches our shores
with its melancholy burden Of thirty deaths
a day at Marsclles and thirty more at
Toulon inspires our people with fresh chill
of terror at the approach of the dread spectre
Cholera. We can almost believe the old
eastern story of the man who saw the
Cholera iiend in mortal shapc,and on remon-
strating with the phantom for the ravngcs it
wrought received for reply killed ten
victims; Fear killed the rest
There is all the difference in the world
between necdful sanitary precautions and
the childish fear of disease which some pco-
pie seem TO entertain. OF course it is quite
possible that the Cholera may invade our
shores, but until We have the record of
genuine cases OF Asiatic Cholera in some one
or more Of our ports of entry, we need he
under no sort of apprehension. What we
really have to do is to set our house in ORDER
to see that our drinking water is pure and
our sewers properly flushed and ventilated
These matters are eminently worthy of
attention at any time; they are doubly SO in
the prospect of an epidemic of disease
which is specially begottcn and propasated
of filth.
The man who goes about in constant fear
of disease is liable to be one of the earliest
victims. We do not say that fear will give
a man smallpox, or typhoid or scarlatina,
if the element of contagion or infection is
absent. But it is matter of common
observation that nervous persons are pccu-
liarly liable to be attacked by any disease
which is at the time prevalent in locality,
while those VINO steadily pursue their avoca-
tiOns regardless of rumors and the gossip of
nervous friends, generally escape.
Medical men seldom contract contagious
affections, chiefly for the reason that sense
of duty and constant habituation to the
presence of death render them Indifferent to
the danger which most persons hasten to
avoid. undoubtedly the most surely contag-
ious and desperate of all maladcs of the cpl
demic type is malignant typhus orcamp few
er yet it is rare to find a physician attacked
with the disease though lie may be BREATH
ing an atmosphere sensibly laden with
putTefactiOu and death.
There is a large element Of sellishness in

direction of Reading, twenty-five miles dis

change since leaving Ferndale. The wooded
slopes and steep banks have given place to
wide, open, undulating tract, studded with
truck farms. just here we stop at Spring
field, whence there is short local line to
that celebrated pleasure resort, the Falls of
French Creek. The place is four miles dis

country surrounding the Falls has been

the nervous apprehension of disease man
Tested by some persons. Not merely do
they thus strive to cast OH their duties to
their stricken friends and relatives, but they
are utterly regardless ot the chance that
they may themselves convey the Infection
to other centres. There seems to be little
doubt that wooden clothing Is a powerful
carrier aud distributor OF disease, aud that
person who has visited a patient suffering
from an Infectious disease may become the
uneouuoug agent of its distribution. It is
for this reason that the system of sanitary
Gordon round infected districts has been
established. 1t may seem hard that persons
should be compelledto remain in an infected
town, but it is harder that tho whole com
muuity should suffer by reason of tho fear
and cnwardice of individuals.
We repeat that persons who are in perpe-
tual terror of disease not only keep them
selves in a most distressing frame of mind,
but become at least chronic nuisance to
their friends and tho very earliest victims
Of an Epidemic when such visitation
chances to occur.
Eat well, sleep plenty, take plenty Of OK
crcise, battle daily, avoid over work and
worry. The last named is a great auxiliary
in pulling down the nervous system and thu
, predisposing the individual to the attack o
disease. Don't take physic unless YOU arr
really sick. In week or two, if the chol

A TIMELY BOOK
JAMES G. BLAINE.
JOHN A. LOGAN.


Announcement is made Of the rapid com
pletion of u Pictorial work comprising the
Lives of the Presidential Candidates on the
Republican ticket, written by the veteran
author, Mr. j.. w. Buel, and published by
n. ID. Thompson ~ Co., st. Louis, Mo-, and
New York. This work is sold through agents
exclusively. 1t is designed, not only to serve
the popular taste and want in giving, eXhaus-
lively, the facts in the bOyhoud and man
hood of the CandidatCs-their private Lives
and Public Serviees--but to have more
enduring interest than the ordinary Cam
paign book. To this end the publishers have
engaged on tine work a corps of skilled de-
signers and engravcrs to elegantly and pro-
fusely illustrate the scenes and incidents in
the lives of these eminent men, now so prom
inently before the people. Personal ancedo-
ties and "reminiscences will constitute lead
ing and certainly u most entertaining and
instructive feature of this fine work.
Mr.. Bue has marked ability, and enjoys
especial distinction as n Biographical writer
| While exhaustive in the recital of facts, his
powers of analysis, and his keen insight into
the philosophy of events and measures, give
| him special prominence among American
| writers of personal history. 1t is not too
much to say that he is better prepared for
the work in hand than any other American
author Accredited by our government in
| his tour and residence in Russia and Siberia,
his great work on Nihilism and Exile Life iii
Siberia gave him a standing in the highest
literary and ogicial circles in this country as
a writer at once conscientious, forclble and
picturesque. This has given him unsur-
passed facilities for procuring all the mater
ial for the work now in hand. As a book Of
fascinating interest, beauty and prUfuseness
of illustration, and of comprehepsveness OF
factit will commend itself to eUefy cotcr.
To the book agent this rare combination
of authentic history, pictorial illustration
and brilliant authorship, will at once suggest
the universal demand it will create, and alsC
the advantages in interest it has over The
ordinary Campaign book, and the CRANE
opportunity it offers for profitable agency

The Lake of Como.

The fate of things of beauty is to be-
come hackneyed. The choicest poetry
and music are repeated until everybody
Is tired OF them; the master pieces Of
art are yulgarized by constant repro
duction, and even the beauties of Ma
ture lose their freshness by being over
run and over praised. The lake of
Como has come to be a mere by-word
for beauty; it can hardly be mentioned
without an apology, yet it is impossi-
bic to pass by the Helen of Italian wa
tiers in silence, Many mountains,
streams, and cascades have an individ-
uaIity Of their own; the presence of the
unseen genius loci is felt, often uncon-
sciously, by mankind. One might sup
pose that this influence would be strong
est where Natures hauntS are still in
violate, among solitary peaks and path
less woods; but for me, at least, the
lake of Como possesses it in the high
est degree.-a personality so distinct
and feminine that Il beautiful woman
might be jealous of it, The charm does
not lie exclusively in the scenery, but
Is composite result of climate, atmos-
phere, cultivation, and also, in sub
tie, unrecognized way, of the works of
ART which are scattered along its shores.
The lake of Como is no mountain
nymph, but is like Titian's Venus living
naked on magnificent couch with
pearls braided in her hair.
The sheet of water is shaped like
long fish with a cloven tail, the three
portions being of about equal size, the
lower ones divided by broad wedge

point being the promontory of Bella

two lower bays or branches are called
respectively the iEcS of Lecco and
Como, the latter giving its name and
fame to the whole cXpanse. There are
none OF the grand and rugged features
of Lago Maggiore here; the prospect
Is soft and alluring, embellished by two
