A Suspicious Brigantine Captured

A despatch from Panama, May 18th, says:
The brigantine Ambrose Light, of Philadel-
phia, which was captured by the American
man-o war Alliance, under circumstances OF
the most suspicious character, sailed for New
York few days ago in charge of Lieut..
Wright, of the Alliance, and prize crew.
The Ambrose Light, when first challenged by
the Alliance, displayed the Haytian colOrs,
but in few moments hauled these down and
ran up the Colombian flag. Boats were sent
to board her, under command of Lieutenant
Wright. The people on board were at first
disposed to resist the boats crews, but a shot
sent from the Alliance across the brig bows
warned them against such an attempt. The
stories told to the boarding officer as to how
the brig passed into the hands of her present
commander were still more conflicting than
the effort to claim nationality by display of
flags. A prize crew was put on board and
the vessel seized in the name of the United
States. Besides her crew she had sixty armed
men on board. She carried on deck gun of
the old type and class of the Spanish 60
Founders of the colonial period. Subsequent
investigations la Colon have only confirmed
the illegal character of the vessel, and she
has been seat north, where all the circum-
stances will be looked into by competent
court. The armed men ON board were sent
ashore and delivered to the Colombian an
thoritses, who forwarded them to Panama.

The Capacity of a Steamship.

Few persons realize what can be placed in
the hold of a steamship. They read that the
cargo of such a vessel is valued at so many
dollars, and that there were so many bushels
of grain, and innumerable other articles, on
its manifest, but they never think that there
is not building outside of the large cities
that would contain a ships cargo. As
an instance of what is placed in vessel, we
give the. following list of the freight in the
American steamship British Princess, which
sailed from Philadelphia, Pa, recently for
Liverpool: 1000 packages provisions, $500
barrels and l 200 hogsheads of sugar, Al, 900
bushels wheat, 600 bales cotton, 900 tierces
lard, 1920 quarters of fresh beef, $500 bags
-four, I20 tierces tobacco, $50 tierces beef,
600 barrels syrup, 500 boxes soap, 556 bags
oil cake, 40 hogsheads tallow, 81 cases biscuit,
8 bales leather, crates ice cream freezers,
besides coal for the voyage and provisions for
the men.

Violent Storms.

A violent storm struck Concord, Ohio, on
Sunday afternoon. damaging the crops,
sweeping away outbuildings and fatally injur-
ing a man named Henry Atwater.
A tornado, sweeping from the southwest,
struck Alton, Illinois, on Sunday night. The
National Mills, the Roller Mills, the Glass
Works, Hawley's warehouse, the Drummond-
Randall tobacco factory and Ryeries grocery
store, along the river front, were badly dam.
aged Three freight cars on Chicago and
Alton siding were blown upon the main track,
and several pieces of stone coping on the fire
wall of the roller mill, each weighing 400 or
500 pounds, were carried over on the roof.
During a thunder storm near Fergus Falls,
Minnesota, on Saturday night, lightning
struck barn, killing Charles Gunwold and
August Stressman. A horse, colt, COW and
calf were also killed.
A heavy thunder storm passed over
Mitchell, Ontario, ON Sunday evening. A
barn was struck by lightning and man named
Butter killed. At Harriston the house of
John Mckenzie was wrecked by lightning,
but no person was injured.

Washington Qualifications.


s'How this world is given to lying"
We did think that after the late Presidential
campaign ended there would be return to
the ways of truth, in the newspaper world,
but the same persistent Misrepresentation
continues, SO much SO that one can hardly
believe anything unusual that he sees in print,
unless he has corrobative evidence.
About the earliest s'white ie'' started ont
from Washington by the reporters and cor
respondents, was the alleged rupture between
the President and Vice President. Indeed,
we believe that this was started before these
gentlemen arrived in Washington, and while
the President was still at Albany, though it
vas renewed after the Inauguration.
Equally false and absurd is the alleged
rivalry and struggle between Ex-Speaker
Randall and Ex-Speaker Carlisle to control
the Presidents appointments and the policy
of the administration adversely to each other.
This story has been industriously circulated
in every prominent Republican organ in the
country.
Another munehausenism was the alleged
breach between the President and Senator
Blackburn. The latter has denied the story,
in toto, and says :-"I have no quarrel with
the Administration. l trust and believe that
it has no better friend or supporter than in
all that it may do or propose that is right"
Another most absurd and ridiculous report
was that Miss Cleveland, the Presidents SIS
ter, had left the White House in high dudgeon
and returned to New York, because she could
not sanction the use of wine at the Presidents
table. It is needless to enlarge upon the
utter hlsity of this eanard, because Miss
Cleveland was absent from Washington but
few days, and returned to the White House
as soon as the business which called her to
New York was accomplished.
1t IS difficult to imagine what new falsehood
will next be invented and serve its sensational
purpose in the Washington correspondence of
the daily press. 1t is the business of the cor
respondents to write. They get paid for it.
And, if they have not facts at hand, they have
recourse to fiction, the more sensational the
better. 1t is about time that another thine
days wonder had started on its rounds, for
the public mind is ever craving something
new, and Washington correspondents have
wonderful inventive resources.
The falsehoods we have adNerted to above,
are only few. of the grosser sort. The Re
publican press. has teemed with misrepresen-
tation Of the President and his party ever
since the Inauguration, and the gossips have
been busy plying their vocation with unfailing
ass;duit.

Good Showing by the Taylor Co.
Cham6ersburg, Pa, Valley Spirit.

Chambersburg, Pa, Valley Spirit.
Considering the depressed condition of the
manufacturing interests generally the showing
made by the Taylor Manufacturing Company
for the first four months of the year ending
May /, is certainly tattering. The orders
received by the Company during the four
months named were over IS, 900 in excess of
last year for the same months. This does
not include over $25, 900 worth of orders that
were rejected on account of the terms Of pay
ment The terms on which the accepted or
ders were taken are very good, half being
cash and the balance ranging from four to
twelve months time 1t is believed by the
officers of the Company that the exhibit at
New Orleans, which is conceded by all who
have seen it as the finest of its class at the
Exposition, has more than paid itself, large
quantity of machinery, some twenty:three
orders, having been sold thereby.
There are now one hundred and sixty five
men at work in the shops. Those employed
at the foundry work full time, ten hours a
day, while the workmen in the remaining de-
partments are engaged eight hours each day,
except in cases of hurried orders, when they
work full time.

1t is stated that most of the employees in the
Bureau of Engraving and Printing at Wash
ington are Democrats This discovery
has been but recently made. tbs surprising
that since the election of a Democratic Presi-
dent there are so many people in office who
are either Democrats or very mild Republi-
cans, who care little for politics. They were
not heard of prior to the election, and it is
Just possible that the most of them changed
when the Administration changed. Rotation
in Office is Democratic doctrine, and if these
fellows are Democrats they have been in long
enough and cannot object to a change. As
to the mild Republicans, they can go out
and give place to pronounced Democrats.
This is Democratic Administration.

So far this month about ten millions of
dollars have been paid out of the United
States Treasury on account of pensions. This
is a large sum, and it will not be long before
the government will have paid out in pensions
about as much as the country is worth. A
large and stalwart fellow, who has been
drawing $72 a month for some years, went to
the pension Office few days ago and ordered
his pension to be discontinued. He con-
cIuded the government had done, enough for
him. The probabilities arethat his disabilities
were not Of disabling character, and he be-
came ashamed of being a pensioner. There
are thousands of others who ought to be
ashamed of receiving government aid. Many
are abundantly able to support themselves as
well as before they went into the army; some
are drawing pensions and holding lucrative
positions under the government, and others
are lounging about not even pretending to do
ANYTHING.

While the young Democracy are coming to
the front everywhere, in state and national
politics, few of the older heads are receiv-
ing recognition also. Gen. Joseph E. john
ston, who is nearer eighty years old than
seventy, has been appointed railroad COM
missioner by President Cleveland. Hon. R.
M. I. Hunter, prominent figure in party
councils for nearly half century, being
Speaker of the House of Representatives forty
years ago, and prominent candidate for
President in 1860, has just been given col
lectorship in Virginia. Some former Repub-
licans have been remembered by President
Cleveland, too. Ex-senator Ross, whose
Democracy dates from the time of Andrew
Johnson's incumbency Of the Presidency, and
who, as Republican, voted against his i'm
parchment, has been appointed Governor of
New Mexico; and ex-senator Upton, Ct Ne
sraska, who parted company with the Repub-
Rcan party in 1872, has been appointed re-
ceiver Of public moneys at Bloomington,
Illinois, in which state he now resides.
