On last Friday we were placed in
temporary possession of a historic me-
mentO, and at the same times literary
treasure Of genuine value. 1t is u de-
scription of the scenes and persons as
sembIed at the Merchants Hotel, in
Philadelphia, fifty years ago, in honor
Of Edwin Forrest, then in the flower
Of his genius and the zenith ofsuccess.
There were judges, lawyers, doctors
and merchants, all Of great distinc-
ton and some of national fame; and
amongst them was a very Intelligent
and honorable young man who still
lives, with his powers still unshak-
en- like the green spreading branches
Of the stalWart oak, its great trunk
shows signs Ofevident decay and this
man was Genl. McCardle, long editor
of the leading political newspaper Of
Philadelphia Ledger Of q recent date.
Some Of the fragmitOry speeches IN
the occasion, after the lapse of half a
century, are given with the freshness
Of yesterday, while the descriptive
scenes Of persons and events are told
with Il pathOs of sentiment that rings
like the music of a beautiful harp,
touching every cord Of feeling that be-
longs to the human soul. Verify, they
are ''apples of gold and pictures of
silver for which we thank General
Walthall for lOaning, and our old on
frere, Genl, McCardle, for writing.
"Thc actor has long since ceased to tread
the mimic stage and "hold the mirror up to
nature" The lips of the orators are mute
and their ears are Theoretically closed to the
| plnudits they were wont to evoke. The
merchants have abandoned heir counting
houses and no longer look with fcverish i'm
patience for argosies from beyond the seas.
The bankers have closed their ledgers and
after a lifelong struggle, ii is hoped, finally
succeeded in laying up ''treasures where
neither moth nor rust corrupt, nor thieves
break through and steal" The authors
have abandoned their dusty tones and their
studies. The lawyers have concluded their
arguments and made their appeal to a high
cr tribunal. The learned Judge has laid
aside his gown and ceased to deliver opin-
ions. The physician has given up his pills,
his pOtiOns and his teachings, and his voice
will never more in this world he heard to
utter beautiful thoughts clothed in beauti.
fnl language. The postmaster has cOnfidcd
the care of the mails and the delivery o
letters TO other hands. The Mayor no long
er hears complaints and imposes penalties
upon petty offenders. The ShCrlfTis no more
troubled with wrlts, judgments and cXccu,
tions. The legislators have been relieved by
tie final and infeXible demand for tho
previous question and an adjournment sine
die. The pen has fallen from the tired
ncrvcIess fingers of the journalists and they
too have laid down in the grave "where' thc
weary are ut rest"
All who gave life, light and joy 10 tina

THE FRIEND OF THE ALLIANCE

If any one may have thought that
we wrote in a spirit of querrelness in
the article that appeared three weeks
ago in this paper III reference to the
Alliance and their lands, we would
uurreut the mistake by s%ayiuE that If
we were a member of the body and
standing before them in council as
sembled, we might have used the
same words. Our idea is 10 jog the
memory Of our farmers in and out of
the Alliance, ofthe Importance of re-
deemirg the impoverished parts OF
their farms and holding the soil from
washing, where it is good. We are
an Alliance man 50 far as we under
stand their precepts and purposes,
and we wish to see them on the high
road to success, but let us ask seri-
ously what have they done at home
ia demonstrating their work? Cot
on IL their leading thought, and so
it is with the farmers who do not be-
long to the order. What have they
done in this direction but plant all
that they can manage, as they did
before the organization of the order:
Their work so far, as an organized
body, is like ours on paper. We be-
gin to desire to sec practical, realiZ-
ing effects on their crops, if not on

they have places where the youth in

ON Saturday our old FREUD and

IL with a lille unprctentiou- book
bearing the title Of occasional ser
mons. 1t looked externally neat
but not %audy but on opening it our
eyes fell pom a sermon delivered here
at the request Of te different churches,
~uperscrihed by some Of our citizona.
We had read only a few sentences
before we We're struck with the
graudure Of the diction, the sublimity
ofthe thoughts, and the sOlemmity Of
the lessons. Inits mastery eIOquence,
it bore the marks of that fine scholar
and eminent divine, Prof. !. J.. john
SON, of our State University. In this
single sense We found that we had
trapped a mind of intellectual moral
and religious richness, which we can
rheerfllIy offer to all Of our citizens
who buried friends daring the ter
rible plague which swept them

toned, who had and still have loved

surely worth the price, sixty-iive
cents, which can be obtained by or

NEW YORK LETTER,

The New York committee on the
Worlds Fair of 1892 has ut last Sc,
lected a site which it is thought vii
be as satisfactory to all concerned q:
such q thing can be. The question
of q site for the great exhibition, in
case New York was to get it, was
found to be, not only a vely impor-
tant, but an extremely pulling one.
Hundreds of suggestions on the sub
jput were niatie by prominent men
and other people, but each seemed
open to some grave objection. First
Of all, good judgment decided that
the site must be somewhere on Man.
haitian Island; but on the other hand,
Central Park seemed the only avail
| able place on the Island, and it
| would never do to spoil the peoples
paradise, on which so many millions
had been spent, just for the sake of a
temporary show. The committee
has cut the Gordian knot however,
in quite a creditable manner. They
have selected the upper portion of
Central Park together with Morning
side Park, Riverside, and other
vacant land connecting them. The
portion of Central Park selected be-
gins at 96th street and ends at the
northern boundary of the Park at
10th street, a portion which is now
in about the same picturesque con-.
dition as Nature made it. The en-
tire site comprises about 400 acres,
but a good part of it is unsuitable
for buildings on account. of its to-
biography. 1t is accessibf lby near
" every street railroad IN The city,
by the elevated roads anu -. steami
railroads. By this wise selection of
a site we have taken II great stride
ahead of our sister cities who are
working for the big fair, and from
this on the work will be pushed IN
dead earnest.
THE NATIONAL GAME.
Baseball is now one Of the absorb
ing topics of the metropolis. Our
Giants have worked their way to

The Apostle struck . bG1Anco Of their at

educated, and, though elmblsrs what the
Apostle called square. st. John was tall
and lank, finely educated and sHhrtongued,
and also what the Apostle was pleased "a
term "soapy." He decided that with faif
play between the men Rose Grace In the
end would prefer Joe; II there was to be
trickery, ST. John would win. Ten days
passed without IN epen rupture between
the rivals, but in that time St John had de.
liberately twice set Joe aside with snuh.
The latter said privately to the Apostle:
"Bless my blest sell, but wasn't chosen
chief Of policef' n
The Apostle admitted that he had been 20
chosen, at which Joe at once appointed hum
his assistant with many injunctlons to obey
his orders. Rose Vas IN her n1iu resting
and St. John came down tAo atfal toward
them. When he was within ten feet, Joe
covered him with his pistols and in the
name Of the law arrested him. The Apostle
took his firearms away and in few mo-
ments he was in the cabin at the farthest
end Of the camp, Q prisoner, botnd hand and
foot AT supper Rose asked fof him, but
Joe apologetically explained that he had
been suddenly called away and might not be
back for some time. That night she walked
with Joe and he made hot love.
The Apostle watched the raging prisoner.
A week passed in this way and the last
night Of it Rose Grace told Joe that as soon
as he could go back with her to where she
had come from she would be his wife, pro-
viding, too, that he gave up cards. Joe saw
her safely into her cabin, then hurried
away in the darkness 70 St. Johns prison.
The Apostle grunted when he heard the
news. Joe bent over st. John.
'You told her that was dead man, but
she is going to marry me. Just as soon as
it is daylight am going to stand here blythe
door. The Apostle will set you free and
you are to go away without looking back.
If I ever see your face again, bless my
heart, if don't kill you"
So st. John went away and did not look

his back on Joe, who came toward her. He
doffed his hat again and said:
"If you will follow me, miss, will tell

She did not hesitate to 20 with him. They
went past the empty cabins Of the camp up
to hill slope where there were a number
Of mounds of earth. Joe seemed terribly
embarrassed when they reached this spot
He twisted his fingers and looked up and
down, but not into her face. She stood silent,
patiently waiting for him to speak.
"Bless my buttons, miss" he found cour-
age to say at last. ''but all that was left Of
Mr.. Grace was buried here six months ego
He had bad attack Of cold lead"
Then he saw her reel and fall unconscious
at his feet. St John saw him coming back
with her in his arms, her dark hair against
his bronzed cheek. Joe laid her down In
cabin. Water was brought and when she
revived she was alone, free to weep over

would find ways and means to get her back
