REBUKE THE FALSE PRETENsE.

Ia justification of the course of the
Belletonte Iron and Nail company in
issuing scrip 10 their workmen, which
is being used against Gen. James A.
Beaver, the Republican candidate for
Governor in this State, who is a mem
ber of that firm, there is a circular 60
ing around alleged to be issued by the
workmen themselves, ju.tifying the
course of the firm in issuing the scrip
that it was at their Qhc workmen's)
request, etc. Four of the men whose
names are attached to the circular, a
copy of which has been sent 10 eytry
X. of l.. assembly in Pennsylvania,
claim to be members of the X. of l..
OF this we have no knowledge, but we
here assert, positicely, that none of
those names on the circular who claim
membership in the Amalgamated Asso-
citation can be found On cur register.
They are NOT members of the Amalga-
mated Association, and as that associ-
alton is opposed to the payment of
wages in scrip or anything else in lieu
of cash, we deem it but justice to il to
so state publicly, that it may not rest
under the impulation these pliable tools
thought of putting upon il. We be-
lieve in letting the sun shine in on the
truth though the heavens fall.

A Sharp Criticism.

The editor OF the Fruit Growers
Journal has sense enough to Judge O.
farmer by the way he treats his live
stock. When, says he, you see man
haul his fruit to station preparatory to
sending it to market, using team that
through poverty can hardly stand on its
feet, you may know that man will make
no money in fruit growing. He may
ship poor grade Of fruit that viii help
to depress the market, and prevent other
men from making money, but you may
be sure he will make none for himself.
He has used land for fruit that ought to
have been employed in growing feed for
his team and other stock, and provisions
for his family. It is further fact that
men who drive poverty stricken teams
are seldom, if ever, thrifty men. There
would be little risk in the statement that
from New Orleans to Chicago there is
not one man who hauls his fruit to q
railroad. with half-star7ed team that is
making decent living by growing fruit.
His fruit Will be of the same grade as
his team; and his farm management and
cultivation will be Like unto it. If he
ncglects his team he Will neglect his
business. A poor, haE-starved team is
the most expensive luxury ever found on
a farm. The fruit growers who drive such
teams almost invariably live at such q
distance from the railroad that there can
be no profit in growing small fruits for
market, and when the land is stolen
away from the team and stock to grow
Improbable fruits for market, nothing
but loss can possibly follow.

The Bath Tab Of a1arat.

Relics Of the famous men of the past
are always valuable property, so that
It is not very surprising that the bath in
which Jean Paul Marat met his death at
the hands of Charlotte Corday on the
18th day of July, 1893, should recently
have fetched the sum of ;e200 at Vannes,
in Brittany. It seems to have been
strange to relate-in the possession of
priest, though it would naturally be ex-
pected that 10 ordained member of the
Catholic Church would keep in his
house for an hour any object connected
with so notorious monster of cruelty
and atheism as Marat. But by some
means or other this peculiar heirloom
found its way into the hands of the
Brittany cure, and its sale has attract
ed considerable attention throughout
France. There is to be museum of
antiquities connected with the French
Revolution at the approaching exhibi-
ton in Paris, which is itself intended to
celebrate the centenary OF that tre-
mendous outbreak; and our Gallo
neighbors seem to think that AIarat's
historic bath ought to be secured at all
costs as an exhibit.-London Daily Tele-

miles an hour, the movement OF the par
ticles of matter was only twelve feet pc
second, or eight miles an hour.
Scientists attribute the origin of Garth
quakes to three causes.
1st. To the action of the sun ant
moon on the molten mass in the interior
OF the earth, causing tides in it whicl
produce the shocks. This theory is now
abandoned, or this cause is thought *
be no longer active.
I'd. TO volcanic action. The pressure
of gas and steam producing explosions
and cruptions and consequent convul
sions of the surrounding earth. This is
a real and efficient cause in volcanic re.
gions, but does not account for earth.
quakcs where there is no evidence OF
volcanic activity, except in such cases as
the recent earthquake IN Andalusia,
above referred to.
81. To the action of what are known
rs organic forces-that is, the forces
which determine the direction and di-
mensions Of mountain chains and coast
lines. While elevations and depressions
of mountains and coasts have REQUIRED
at intervals throughout the worlds his
tory, it is now thought that their general
outlines have been permanent, and the
form of continents is due to the adapta-
ton of the cooled and hardened surface
to the still cooling and contracting in
terror, along the original wrinkles or
lines Of elevation and depression. All
rocky strata being deposited from water,
were ut first horizontal; but as the in
terror of the earth cooled and contracted
they followed it, becoming folded and
inclined like the wrinkles on the skin Of
a drying lemon. Imagine such an in
clined stratum several thousand feet in
thickness, one end resting on the Blue
Ridge Mountains at C;esar's Head or
Kings Mountains, from which, as may
now be seen there, it broke of and
slipped down untold ages ago; the
other end shelving out into the sea over
the Gulf Stream, where there has been
another fracture. slip or fault, the stratum
suddenly sinking several thousand feet
into the depths Of the sea.
Now the seaward end of this inclined
stratum might be undermined by ocean
currents, causing it to settle down anew
and thus produce shocks Of earthquake.
Or the rains aud the rivers continually
washing away mountain, hill and plain,
and transporting from them enormous
weight of sediment, would deposit it on
the seaward end of this inclined stratum,
overload and crush it down, and thus
produce earth shocks. Or a downward
movement or settling of the scaward end
from either of these or some other cause
might tilt the stratum on tic land
through a portion or its whole extent
and produce earth disturbances.
