MOUNTAIN HOUSE, ericsson SPi!EGs'
ericsson, PA, July %, 1857.
The editorial party which was made
m in Philadelphia, two special cars,
reached this place at IA quarter ol nine
O'Clock on Saturday evening, washing
and finishing their supper by ten.
The company numbered all told about
seventy persons, from all parts OF the
Peninsula. and few who were from
other places. The Pennsylvania ralI-
road was generous to an unexpected
degree in granting courtesles TO the
Association, and the Executive Com
mittee, who planned the trip, hlIed
their duties with admirable fidelity to
their brothers of the quill and accom-
panying friends.
The ride to Cresson is through an
interesting country from beginning to
end. Beauty to Peninsula person
lines the whole route in the varied and
constantly changing scenery. There
are beautiful grounds and villas taken
up bv Philadelphians for many miles
out of the city. Lancaster county
with its acres of tobacco and large
warehouses for curing it, attracted at
attention, as we'll as the comfortable
dwellings and large farm buildings.
The most attractive feature TO the
| tourists was the evidences of the de-
structiOn by the great floods from the
time we struck the Susquehanna below
Harrisburg, and then on the line of
! the Juniata nearly until we reached
! CressOn Springs. On the eSusquehanna
we found thousands of logs all along
the banks landed high and dry, eight
or ten feet high. Except the bridge
that the railroad crosses at Harrisburg
there was not bridge left to span the
river, nor on the JuniataIfor the hun
! dred miles that the railroad follows its
bed Only the stone abutments were
left as sentinels to tell where the
bridge had been, or the iron frames
! were visible in the bottoms below
| There were seventeen washed away
bridges between DuucannOn and Hun
| tingdOn. Thousands and thousands of
| trees lined the river banks, which had
been washed up by the mad current,
| and hundreds Of cords of drift wood
were found IN all places Of lodgment
Some houses were seen washed away
and debris lodged ten fifteen and more
feet above the river. A number of
fields of wheat had never been cut.
The course of the river is very crook
ed the railroad crossing it at one
place twelve times in space of six
miles. 1t was dusk when we reached
Altoona and dark when We wound
around the horseshoe bend.
Cresson Springs is beautiful place
and d hostelrie on a grand scale. The
house is handsomely finished and
served in the finest style, and has ac-
cOmmOdations for eleven hundred per-
sons. The party all seem to be enjoy
ing themselves hugely. A big log fire
blazes on the hearth in the morning
for the chilly ones to warm themselves
by. 4 double blanket serves for the
bed covering. To-day we make a trip
to Johnstown, with which all newspa-
per readers are familiar for its great
suherings. 1t is only D miles away.

Leprosy in India.

81 do not think" said a man who has
passed a quarter Of a century in India,
s'that the report Of the death of a Briga-
der General of the English army in
Hindoostan of leprosy is to be relied
upon. / suppose there are many kinds
Of leprosy, and some of it, like the dis
eases spoken of in the Bible, may be very
infectious. Certainly Father Damien died
of leprosy in Molokai, communicated to
him by the lepers around him. But the
lepers are very common in India, espe-
cially in the central and northwestern
provinces, and though every one tries to
keep them as far from him as possible,
nobody has the slightest fear of being
~inoculated with the disorder. It seems
to be almost entirely confined to the ma
tives, and they usually make their living
by it. They are all beggars, and ride
about on small ponies soliciting aims.
ssThe doors of the Indian bungalows
are always open, and when a sahib looks
up from his breakfast, and sees one of
these horsemen sitting in his saddle, al
most naked, and looking indiscribably
wretched as he holds out his hand in
silent supplication, he is apt to be will
ing to part with a coin to induce his IN
welcome visitor to move on. In fact, the
leper won't go until he receives some
thing. He might, I suppose, be driven
away with a stick, but nobody cares to
fagellate him, and he makes a good deal
of money. / never saw a white man
with the disease, though l believe there
are a few isolated cases. 1t is not neces-
sarily fatal, and lepers who looked as
though they must soon die of old age,
have told me that they were born with

The Prince Imperial of Japan.

Compared to his imperial father, even
at the present day, Prince Haru is much
more emancipated, and none of the old
traditions seem to have my weight in
regulating his conduct. There was no
precedent to follow in the education OF
n japanese prince in the modern way,
and Prince Haru has made many laws
for himself. He is a wonderfully bright
and ~precocious little fellow, and his
small, twinkling black eyes are full OF
mischief and see everything. he Is
hardly taller than an American boy OF
six years of age, but he has at times the
dignity, the pride of birth, and con-
seriousness OF station and power, OF o
man of sixty. His eyes are not slant
ing. nor indeed does n often see III a
japanese face the wonderful oblique
ewes beloved of the caricaturists. The
peculiarly in the expression OF then
eve is given by the eyelids being fast
ened in either corner, as if a few Stitches
had been taken there. This makes it
impossible for them to lift the eyelids
as high as we do, and gives the narrower
Sits, through which they gaze, h pee
uliar Oriental look. One often sees
Japanese with as round, wide-open eyes
as those Of our race, and it gives an
especial beauty to their c~ountenances.
Prince Haru has the exquisitely
smooth, fine yellow skin that is one of
the points of greatest beauty in Japanese
children, and a bright color sometimes
shows in the pale yellow of his little
cheeks. He has the rank of a~colonel in
the Japanese army, and wears his mill
tary uniform aud his cap with the gold
star all the time, his clothes being dark
blue cloth in winter and white duck in
summer. He is fond Of riding, and, when
mounted. the miniature colonel trots
along ut a fine gait, giving and return
ing the military salute US he passes an
officer OF a sentry, like a young marti-
net.-ISt Nicholas.

wiles Of the Burglars.

some of the neatest tricks / have
heard of in some time was perpetrated
by a pair of burglars in this city lately"
said a New York Police Captain. 1.-THE
Younger of the two had entered a private
residence while the inmates were at tea,
and the elder stood outside on watch.
The rifer was discovered and was soon
chased from one floor to another by two
gentlemen members of the household.
Somebody called 'policel' and the outside
burglar, drawing his revolver, re-
sponded: There, there, ladies; don't
make any fuss. III take care of this
fellow he said, and, making a rush, he
grabbed his mate by the collar and gave
him a cuff on the neck as he led him
down the stoop. The family breathed
more freely and the gentlemen prepared
to go to the station house to swear out a
complaint. When they arrived there
nobody had heard of the case. The bur
glars had vanished. It's an old trick,
but l haven't heard about it in this
neighborhood in many years."-GrGphic.

women and stimulant..


On Broadway, not far from Twenty-third
street, there is an exquisite shop where deli
cious CONNECTIONS and ices are served in the
daintiest style imaginable. One of our
healthy and commanding New York girls
dragged the writer in there recently after the
matinee, and he improved the opportunity to
examine an elaborate portion of our femi-
nine population with its curb bit, so to
speak, removed. The girls sat in prattling
clusters OF brightness about the tables,
laughing immoderately over nothing, and
seeming as innocent rs butterflies in a Glover
patch. It was a pretty scene The place
was luxuriously planned, the air was sweet
with the smell of candies and violets, and the
immaculate walters slid along the carpeted
floor with a soothing celebrity that was en-
tirely admirable Presently every table was
occupied by bevies of glad and gossiping
girls. All was indeed lovely and joyous.
But suddenly | was struck by remark
able feature of this impromptu symposium
The walters were bringing in to these young
women a many colored assortment OF drinks
instead of the pretty little ices had thought
they were there for. Moreover the hard
quality Of the liquids composing these drinks
was unmistakable. This was indeed a sur

acknowledged with blush that il was The
place we were in, she said, had become known
to great part of feminine New York as the
one resort where ladies without escorts could
go and secure their wee nippy," and she was
afraid that several of the younger and giddy
members of her sex were taking an unwise
advantage of the convenience. The trade in
cocktails had become very extensive and is
still growing. left that sweet scented place
with new lesson learned. A slender, pale,

DID IL Elect HarrfsonY

The following appeared in Minnesota
paper: Members of the democratic
party have been using all sub erfuges TO
account for their overwhelming defeat,
and numerous are the causes alleged.
Il was talking with several of the van.
pushed on Fourth street the other day,
opposite bill board, and one of the party
exclaimed: "If it had not been for the
closeness of the national committee in
the expenditure of money, we would have
elected our man. The republicans ad-
vertised their man like a circus" Several
OF the party remarked that no advertising
was done except small announcements
in the papers, and few changers" on
the dead walls.
''HangersP" said our informant.
What do you call that but circus
posterf" pointing to a twelve sheet medi-
cine poster on the bill board, bearing the
cuts of Gen. Harrison and his grand
father.
''If the democrats had advertised like
that. Cleveland would have been re>
ele cted."
The poster referred to was one of the
familiar black and white Log Cabin Sar-
saparilla posters sent out by an enterpris
ing firm engaged in the manufacture of
old log cabin home cures, under the
name of Warmers Log Cabin remedies,
and among other equally valuable arti-
cles includes the famous Log Cabin Sar
saparilla, which ia everywhere recognized
as the best of all spring medicines and
stands without a rival for the cure of all
disorders which are the results OF impure
blood.
The spring time of the year is the sea
son when the system needs renovation;
the long winter has caused the blood 10
become filled with impurities.
There exists no better means to aid
and strengthen the system at such an ur-
gent period than the use of w arpers Log
Cabin Ssrsapsrilla, which speedily re-
stores the blood to a pure and healthy
state, which insures health and happi-
ness.
The reputation OF the firm putting out
the medicine is above reproach, and is
the same firm which manufactures War
ner's Safe Cure, the standard remedy for
the cure OF all those diseases peculiar to
the kidneys, as well as those which are
the results OF disease IN those organs,
and which has met with such phenomenal
success for the past ten years.
We understand that the posters re-
ferred to made their appearance ID many
parts OF the country sometime prior to
the Chicago convention which nominated
Gen. Harrison as a candidate for the
presidency-hence the use made of the
portraits sof the Harrisons, father and
grandsou-was either the result of re-
msrkable political foresight or in accord
ance with the historical association OF
the old log cabin with the name of Har>
risOn.
