states that the clerks have Been re-
moved "for insubordination, in conspir-
ing TO obstruct the regulation of the
service by the Department. They have
secretly attempted to form an associa-
ton with view to dictate action to
the Department"
The object of the society was to resist
removals by threatening a strike, or the
combined designations of many clerks
at one time, so as TO menace the De-
partment with embarrassment.

all evince a remarkable devotion to our
American entertainments, and the

The Lehigh Valley Railroad Com
pany's large tunnel on the Pennsylvania
& New York division at Nosburg, thirty
five miles from Wilkesbarre, was form
ally opened Saturday at noon in the
presence of large number OF stock
holders and invited guests. Among the
number from Bethlehem were President
+. p. Wilbur, Vice President Sayre,
General Superintendent Goodwin, II.
Locllhart, and others, who left at 20
Saturday morning in the directors car
and the "Minerya" on train No. 10.
The digging of the tunnel was begun in
in April, 1888, and is about 1900 feet
long. By the present route ) 1-2 miles
will be saved. The tunnel is the widest
ever driven in the United States, being
a trllie over - feet in the clear. The
work of driving the tunnel an6 the engl-
neering were so Systematically done
that the ends meet as evenly as if the
digging and blasting had been COM
menced from one end of the mountain
instead of from two. The tunnel cost
the company over S1,0OO,Oo0. During
the progress of the work six men were
Killed, among the number being several
Hungarians. ..H

Senator Wallace does not seem
anxious TO be the Democratic candidate

party think he might be more so; but
near friends say he would accept a
unanimous or harmonious nomination.

District Attorney Mulherin, of this

Presbyterian Sunday Schools.

Of the many good things that have
been established by the different church
denominations, which have blessed
humanity by their sanctifying influence;
there are few better than the adoption
Of day set apart annually by the
churches to be devoted especially to the
children-their intellectual, moral and
religious culture, and hence called
Chillren's Day.
The observance of day for this pur-
pose, although of late origin, is so good
that we rejoice to be able to say, they
are becoming quite popular over the
country. Being contagious, (like some
other good things), the Presbyterian
Union Sabbath School of this place
caught the happy contagion this year;
and although one of the first TO observe
the day in Lehighton this season, | can
safely say it was indeed a very Joyous
and happy occasion as well as profitable
to all who were present at the Childrens'
Service held on the evening of the 22nd
ult.
This was the first observance of the
day by this school, and through the
efforts of Mr.. Bohn the Superintendent,
and the officers, teachers and scholars.
il was so joyeusly successful that il will
long be remembered bythose who hadthe
pleasure of participating either actively
or passively in the exercises of the even
ing.
The front of the church was beauti-
fully decorated and presented a very
delightful appearance, being tastefuly
arranged by the stars and stripes, appro-
pirate notices, and vast profusion of
flowers. But to describe all fully would
make this article very lengthy, and we
will only add that the doors of this
Sunday school are open to all, the officers
and teachersrejoice to welcomestranger5:
and the Superintendent, and Mr. Philip
Miller, the pillars of the school invite
the cooperation of any who feel an
interest in the extention of ChrisCs
kingdom to labor with them in this
blessed work.

OUR SOUTHERN BUDGET.

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
SOUTHERN PINES, n. c., June 23, SO
After leaving the elegance, the free,
dom and the civilization of one of the
magnificent Bay Line steamers at Ports,
mouth, it takes very philosophical
traveller to really be delighted with the
first few hours travel over the great
Seaboard Airline railway. Much of the
first eighty miles is through n region
that is uninviting, except TO those who
are in search of rich, black land. The
acres lie level as far as the eyes can see
them. Only tithe of the land Is cul-
tiYated, and this teens with tall corn
and flourishing peanuts. Near the bay
truck" patches and strawberry farms
are quite numerous. Much of this land
has been reclaimed by drainage from
the great Dismal Swamp, whose con-
fines were made the home of Harriet
Beecher Stoves famous story of" Dred. -
This may be the most heallhful spot
on the American continent; but one
must not be blamed too severely if visions
of ague and malaria seem to present
themselves in every half-hiddcn marsh.
We would like to look at this section
differently, but we ''ain't built that way,
And yet, right in this very belt of coun.
try are Old Point Comfort, Portsmouth
and Forfolk, all renowned for their
healthfuness.
One has a long wait at Weldon, and
then the scene changes materially. The
banks grow red. Oak groves please the
eye. The air seems TO grow rarer, and
the traveller begins to realize that he is
glad he is alive.
Twenty-one miles southward from
Weldon the first town of any Importance
ON the Raleigh n CASTOR road is srcached.
The town of Litlleton pleases every.
body. The, houses and nearly all the
outbuildings are painted. White is The
prevailing color. Even the Railroad
Company caught the Inspiration, evi
dence Of (which is presented by two huge
water tanks-One at either end of the
town-which in their whiteness look
like giant candles which have been burnt
almost to the socket.
OF course we get of at Liltleton. Al,
most everybody does. And IN responsc
to the invitation of polite gentleman
OF color We walk across the greensward
to the only hotel in the place, which is
renowned for its palalable and decidedly
sensible dinners.
Some people smoke after dinner, and
If you are so inclined you may sit on a
wide, breeze-swept verandah and have
a good time all by yourself. Then out

regularity of streets. Here store seems
to have dropped right down from some
where regardless of where it lighted.
There neat dwelling lies half hid in a
bower of trees. The addition to the
town, (how common it is for towns to
have "addltions,") is laid out regularly
IT, blocks. Something better might be
expected of town that lies in two coun-
ties; yet one can scarcely say what.
The town is partly in Halifax and partly
in' Warren county, and has about six
hundred population. h- --
Littleton lies exactly on the ridge be-
tween the Roanoke and the Tar rivers.
1t is a Yeritable watershed. This can
be better illustrated by saying that there
is a store in the town that is SO nearly
on the ridge that water falling on its
roof on the one side flows into the
Roanoke river and on the other side in
to the Tarriver
Nature designed Littleton for health
resort. 1t is free from malaria-produc-
ing causes, and is surrounded with a dry,
pure atmosphere. A case of diphtheria
was never known in the town, while few
ers and pneumonia are very rare.
Besides the advantage of location.
more than a score of very valuable min
eral springs are located either within the
borders of the town itself, or within a
radius of four miles. The virtue Of
these medicinalsprings is unquestioned.
They have been analyzed, and have few,
If any, ,superiors. Their waters are used
freely by the inhabitants for miles
around, being carried away in bottles.
SO strong is the faith of the people in
the wonderful curative properties of
these waters, that one man offers TO
board patients free foI one month if his
spring will not cure them of any disease
for which its waters have been recon-
mended, principally dyspepsia; for this
disease the water is said to be pana-
cea.
The roads are most excellent, being
hard, and the country just undulating
enough to make travelling a pleasure.
The scenery is fine all about that section
of the State.
The quality of the land is most excel
lent. Anything can be raised on it. IT-e
saw grain growing there as fine as we
ever saw grain grown growing in the
North. Blue grass, like the famous
product of Kentucky, grows spontane-
ously, and meadows could be. and are
made there with no more difficulty than
is required in the Northern States.
There are thousands of peach trees in
this part of the State. Large vineyards
show what can be done at grape grow
ing. As fine Strawberries as ever grew
are cultivated here, yielding most profit
ably. This is, indeed, "a land of pure
delight" where the laborcr may ''sit
under his own vine and fig tree" enjoy
good health, and see his crops yielding
a bouptiful harvest. And yet, in this
land of prosperity and plenty, there are
many acres of good land for sale at
honest prices. 1t would be strange
farmer who couldn't find here exactly
what he longs for-the best of soil at
low price.
To the manufacturer we would say
that there are various industries await
ing the advent Of capital and men of
push. y tobacco factory, fruit cam
merry, and cotton factory, as well as a
score or more of smaller enterprises,
would all pay. f. Z. WOODWARD.

Washington News and Gossip.
From our speelal Colresnondent.


WAsuINGToN. d. c., June 2S, 'SG.
MIR. EDITOR: The latest feature OF
Washington life is the adoption of the
tricycle. by ladies. The broad smooth
pavements of the city render travelling
by bicycle or tricyle both a convenience
and a luxury. The use of these
machines has long been popular for
news gathering purposes, ana a num-
Der of wheels may be seen at any
hour of the day or night about the doors
OF the various newspaper Offices. The
telegraph companies were early in
recognizing the advantage of the sys.
tenn from a business standpoint, and
furnished their messengers withbicycles.
The fact that the appearance of lady
upon tricycle. would be likely to at
tract notice, and cause more or less
comment, has until recently prevented
their general adoption by the ladies. A
number of tricycle. clubs have, however,
been formed among the ladies during
the past few months, and during the
course sf walk through the streets
upon 9lpoonlight evening, one CON
stanlly meets these tricycle. riders. The
popularity of the tricycle. is in fact in
creasing daily, and if one may Judge
from the enthusiasm evinced by the
ladies who are members of the clubs, IL
is safe to predict that the machine"
will soon achieve an even greater popu-
larity among the ladies' than it has here
tofore with the gentlemen.
1t is rumored that a large number of
dismissals are to be made in the various
Executive Departments upon July 1st,
the commencement of the fiscal year.
The Sixth Auditor has announced the
dismissal of twenty-siX clerks from his
Office, it being stated that the disinissals
were made necessary by an expectation
that the appropriations were to be re-
duced. An examination of the provis-
ions of the legislative bill as it passed
the House, shows that the Sixth Audi
tor is given all the force asked for, and
that the total reduction necessary in all
grades does not exceed six or eight.
The President has been so busily en-
gagged during the week, considering the
great number Of bills which await his
signature, that he has been Obliged to
deny himself to callers, and the regular
meeting of the Cabinet on Thursday
was postponed on that account. On
Wednesday he sent fifteen veto messages
to Congress, and on Thursday batch
of thirty-two bills were returned to the
House with his reasons for disapproyal.
The effects Of overwork began to show
themselves before the close of the week,
and aftercontinued urging by his friends
the President finally decided to accent
an invitation, which had been rendered
to him by Representative Scott, of Penn
sylvania, to join in a pleasant cruise
down the river. The party, consisting
Of the President, Postmaster General
Villas, Repl esentaliYe Scott, w. S. Bis

Friday afternoon upon Mr.. SCOTS steam
yacht for short cruise down the bay.

Frightful Accident.

William Seigenthal, an Easton boy,
met with IA frghtful accident last Satur-
day afternoon on the l.. S S. Railroad
near White Haven. He left his home
on Friday and leaYed on coal train on
that road for the purpose of stealing a
ride. Secreting himself in one of the
cars he remained unobseryed until after
the train had passed White Haven. He
left it there AMI remained in that vicin-
ity until Saturday, when he leaped on
train coming east TO return home.
When about three miles from White
Haven he fell from the cars and had his
arm torn from the socket by the wheels.
Notwithstanding the terrible accident
and the great loss of blood, young
Seigenthal walked to White Haven, had
his injury dressed by a physician and
was well cared for by citizen of that
town. On Saturday evening young
Seigenthal was taken down TO 81 Luke's
Hospital where he died Sunday night
from the shock and loss of blood. His
remains were were sent to Easton on
/ Lehigh Valley passenger train Mon
day morning, where his mother resides
and where interment will be made.

THERE is beginning to be talk of the

prophets say that the session will be
over by the middle of July, while 9th
ers predict that it will run to the Ist of
August. The appropriation bills may
passed by the earlier date, but Coz =
