which many other sections should coVet and
strive TO emulate.
There is spirit of the "billy goat" in
some people of the West, which contradicts
every opinion advanced; which eynically
criticises everything that is done, whether
for charity or self; which is so intolerant
that no man has any right to an opinion;
which butts into everything and everybody
at every corner and turn, in social life, busi-
ness, religion and politics; which rubs your
wounds and scrapes your bruises and
tramps on your toes and makes a sensitive
person i'll at ease. That spirit is not found
so rampant in the older Eastern communl-
ties. 1t Is considered in bad taste there.
Now if Philadelphians were not SO gentle
and were as inclined to criticism as are the
Western critics who make fun of Philadel-
phia, they might say that this state ofthings
is seen in Pittsburg as well as other West
ern towns. In the East people may disagree
in opinion, but the method of doing so is
far more agreeable-much less rasping.
There IS vast difference in the way you
are knocked down. The Scoteh-Irish, the
English, the German and their descendants
have vigor and capacity; but they have
harshness and rough edges at times, too. They
would very probably deny this, but
the denial would sound like the person who
could easily be convinced, but would like
to see the person who could convince her.
1t will not be uninteresting to consider in
detail some of the other fe stures of every
day life in Eastern cities, as contrasted with
the West. This will be a topic of observa-
tion later on. BUMBALo.

let us rejoice. For if he thundera By law.
the thunder is still His voice"
And 50 We read the record which is set
down in the Gospel, and We believe it with
all our hearts. In those days, If eyer-ln
those days when the Divine Man was visible
among men, will we expect the special Wis
itation of the power Of God.
And if anyone shall ask, as some people
to-day do ask, say "Yes, the miraculous is
possible. Granting that there is divine
will behind the phenomena of the universe,
the miraculous may happen. But has it, as
a matter of fact, ever happened? The
miraculous Is possible, but is it probable?''
We have an answer to that reasonable ques-
ton. We point all questioners to Christ
Did He live, as it is said of Him? That
life--is it not itself miraculous? Did He
die, as it is written. and, three days after,
Himself rise even as He raised the man to
life beside the gate of Nain2 There is the
miracle OF miracles. There is the eYidential
miracle. We can prove that. The history
OF 800 years, the very existence Of the
Christian church, what shall We say to
these large facts in the record of the race?
They are enigmas, if the miraculous never
happened. They are mysteries without So
luton. But set the miracle of the resurrec-
ton beside them, and it is like setting an
answer beside tangled problem; it is like
puttingthe right key into complicated
lock. Christian history has no other salts
factory explanation save this miracle of the
open tomb. Here is q miracle which hap
pened. GEORGE HODGES.

which may be seen in every direction a
splendid stretch Of country, consisting of
hills and valleys, farms and woodlands, and
bounded in the distance by the dark blue
line of the unbroken mountain ridge. 1t is
not strictly correct to speak Of this ridge as
being unbrOken, although such is
the appearance it presents for many and
many q mile, but, looking towards
the northwest, a single deep gap
may be seen, through which passes the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and near
which is situated the ill-fated town that was
so terribly devastated by the food from the
broken South Fork reservoir. Standing
upon the top Of the hill above referred to
one may see the miSts rise in the valleys be-
low, at times obscuring everything with
THEIR COLD GRAY MANTLE,
and again permitting a view of the higher
hills, with their tall, dark pines, like islands
in a sea of clouds. During, or Immediately
after rain, the sight from this point is such
as would not readily be forgotten. At such
times there is no line of separation between
the clouds and the mists of the valleys, and
as they sweep over the mountain tops they
present an eVer-changing scene that is most
in his course toward the horizon the rays of
light may find way through an opening in
the dark cloud blanket which obscures the
sky and burst upon the scene with food
of glorious radiance. Through all the varv-
ing atmospheric changes this scene at sun
set is grand and imposing. With a sky Sc
renely beautiful and of most exquisite
azure, shading to luminous sea green near
the horizon, where few bars of cloud burn
like long red fires, or when the gloom of
nightfall is fastened by the darkness of
storm, the scene is one such as is beyond the
power of words to describe.
To visitors to Scalp Level the attractive
ness Of this scene has but-one drawback, and
that is the amount of labor involved in
reaching q point from which it may be
viewed. There are no mechanical contriy-
snces for the purpose OF eleyating sightseers
to the summit and those who would ascend
the hill must do so on foot They may 60

and half miles or they may climb straight

many of the dwellings. Not few Of those
are mere barn-like structures, built
close to the road, and painted in
colors calculated to give an artist
the nightmare and to haunt his waking
moments with horrors. 1t Is not, however,
for the sake of its attractiveness as q village
that artists resort to Scalp Level in such
numbers, and any lack of the picturesque
within its environments will not deter them
from going there. The locality is celebrated,
and Justly so, for the beauty and variety OF
its natural scenery, and for the reason that
points of interest are within such easy reach
of the village. A three minutes walk from
the village will take him to spot so wild
and lonely that it seems as though far be-
yond the borders of life and civilization. In
other directions, but still near by may be
found pleasant country roads, leading past
we'll kept farms with fields Of grain and
herds of cattle.
As a pleasant mountain resort in which to
spend a short time among the woods and
glens, or as a place where nature may be
be seen and studied in some of her grand
est moods, we must travel far to find place
that will rival Scalp Level, and this is a
fact Of which many persons, besides the
members of the artistic fraternity, are very
well aware. GERALD E. FLANAGAN.

NUMBER of paintings now on exhibition at
Boyd's formerly occupied place on the walls
of the Exposition galleries. They are works of
LIE Grand, Johnston and E. A. Poole. The
landscape with turkeys, by the first mentioned
artist, is particularly strong work, but his
sheep picture is also of such excellence that it
would be difficult to make q choice Between
the two.
URANIUM is a very expensive metal, which
has hitherto only been found in small quanti-
ties. As a consequence the mineral is very
rare, in fact a century ago it was not known
and since it is of in the arts, its price runs
high, ranging in the neighborhood of S12 COO per
ton. The oxides Of this metal are largely used
In the eolorlng Of porcelain and majolica ware.
A large vein of this valuable natural product
has recently been discovered at Cornwall
England, and it is probable that its price will
be greatly lessened and its usefulness propor-
tonately extended.
Mr.. H. s. STEVENSON is to the front again
with very prettily composed picture, showing
glimpse of wood and stream. This work is in
oil, and it is one of the studies made by him
during the past summer. On the left of the
picture, number of trees are represented
with their stems curving away from each other,
like diverging branches growing from a single
root. Beyond the trees may be seen the waters
of small stream, sparkling in the sunlight

composition and line arrangement, it is one of
his best works. This work is exhibited at
Mayors, aud there is also portrait of little
girl by the same artist on view at Boyd's.
A NEW work by Hetzel is at present on view
at Gillespie's. The subject is a country road,
and the scene is located at point not far from
Harmony, Pa Mr. Hetzel is we'll able to paint
stronger pictures than this, but it is never
theless a very pleasing work, and of character
somewhat different from his od-time STYLE
The effect depicted is that of a full flood of
summer sunshine which casts upon the ground
an intricate network of shadows from the
branches and foliage Of the trees. At the same
place may also be seen two of this artists
sketches, which are, perhaps, two of the best
small works executed by him during the past
season. They are not for sale, however as
they we're purchased almost Immediately upon
his return from Eidenau.

New Route 10 Chicago,

The B. s. o. R. R. Co. has established q
new through car line between Pittsburg
and Chicago via Wheeling. A Pullman
vestibuled sleeping car leaves Pittsburg
daily on the 7:30 P. NJ. express, and goes
into Chicago on the vestibuled limited, ar
irving in Chicago the next morning at 1856.
A dining car is attached to this train at
Garrett, Ind, and breakfast is served as the
train approaches Chicago. This service is
superior to that of any other train between
the two cities, upon which no extra fare is
charged. Business men can have full
business day in Pittsburg, and practically
the same in Chicago.
Pittsburg is always prompt to welcome
any addition to her facilities for speedy and
comfortable transportation to other CONNER
cial centers, and this new aspirant for pub
lie favor will doubtless receive liberal
share of her patronage.
The B. & o. is fast forging to the front
as passenger carrying line, and the hand
some increase in business which has followed
the improvements it has made at this point
has prompted the company to establish the
new through car line to Chicago.

the eempanienship of friends snd students
from the city. ss "
All along the road the scenery is grandly
beautiful. Huge boulders 10 to 20 feet high
are scattered about among the trees, many
of them covered with moss which In turn
supports most luxuriant growth of ferns
Looking to the right, the steep hill rises
above the road, presenting dense mass OF
dark and gloomy pines interspersed with
other tall forest trees. Looking to the left
down the rocky and abrupt
descent the trees are more scat
tered, and spaces between the foliage re-
veal glimpses of the sparkling waters of the
creek below. Nearing Scalp Level, the
scenery becomes less wild. and about q
quarter of a mile from the village the road
emerges from the woods upon an open farm
ing country, with fields of grain and cattle
grazing upon the hills. For a short dis
tance the road then skirts field of grain
climbing a somewhat steep ascent, upon
reaching the summit of which, the traveller
is rewarded by an extended view OF open

up the hill, much shorter method. but one
that involves a severe trial OF both the
limbs and patience, for the curvature Of the
hill is such that its apparent height is very
deceptive, and when they think they ought
to be near the top, it seems still as far on as
ever. But whichever road they may elect
to take, the view from the summit Will am
ply reward their exertion.
A SOBER PEOPLE.
The people in and about Scalp. Level are
Of a steady-going and industrious class,
mostly Germans, very religious, and strictly
temperate, in fact no beverage Of an intox-
icating nature can be procured within ra-
dius Of several miles; the nearest point
probably being Geistown, about four miles
away on the road to Johnstown. Nearly
everyone attends church, the different de-
nominations being Amish, Dunkards, Men.
nonites, Lutherans and small number of
Methodists OF these five sects the Dunk
ards appear to be the most numerous and
important. Considering the age and char
acter of this sleepy little hamlet there is a
singular lack of picturesqueness about

sit in comfort. Over this bed of rocks is
spread q treacherous covering, composed of
fallen leaves, twigs, pine needles, ETC., and
the pedestrian must exercise care and make
sure of his footing, lest he suddenly find
that what appeared to be solid ground has
suddenly given way beneath him and per-
mitted him to drop between two of the huge
stones at the imminent risk of a fractured
limb. Through the dense foliage of this
dark woods the sunlight falls in golden
splendor, producing fine effects of color upon
the ferns, and upon the rocks protruding
from their somber blanket Of withered
leaves.
One of the points Of greatest interest about
the village is what is known as "Sunset
Hill, an eminenee rising high above any
other for miles around, from the summit Of

A Profitable Place to Go,

Those who have not as yet attended the
immense bankrupt sale of drygoods, carpets
and rugs at 723 and 725 Liberty street, cor
ner Eighth, where the entire stock of a
large New York importing house, amount
ing to over $150,0O0. is being sold for the
benefit of creditors, should do SO at once.
The bargains that are being daily sold at
this forced sale are simply marvellous. No
matter what you offer the goods are knocked
down to you, and in large or small quanti-
ties. Those who have not as yet attended
this popular sale should do so at once, as a
chance of this kind is one of a lifetime. The
sales are held daily at 10 A. NJ, 2 and 1880
P. n. Accommodations are provided for
ladies. A word to the wise is sufficient.

Ohio Railroad. Upon alighting from the
train at this station the scene viewed is wild
almost to desolateness. Anyone unac-
ouainted with the locality might easily be
forgiven if, after a fruitless search, he
should despair OF ever finding the road to
the village A close scrutiny of the under
brush by the side of the railroad will reveal
a narrow path, which. leading up the rather
steep hillside, ends in the beginning of the
new road. Near this road, and about three
fourths Of mile above Paint Creek station,
stands the cottage where Miss Olive Tur-
ney spends her summers; sketching the
