Came Over in the Mayflswer.


L is a curious fact that historians in
general have entirely neglected to give
10 posterity,a list of the names of the
Pilgrims who came on the Mayhower.
Bancroft, Hildreth, Ridpath, the stand
ard encyclopedias, to say nothing of the
numerous biographical dictionaries, are
all faulty in this ore particular. Decem-
Der 26, 1883, the Boston Transcript gave
what purported to be a ''true'- list OF
the passengers that landed at Plymouth
27l years ago; but it, too, was lacking
in one essential feature; the women and
children were not mentioned, and only
the surnames OF the servants. The fol-

The National Plant.

There have been laudable efforts lately
to elect a national flower by voting; but,
however dear, and rightfully dear, to
the American heart is UNIVERSAL suffrage,
it cannot decide this question, the
answer to which should be by ac-
clamation. And how could a fair vote
be obtained without an organization
almost such as is found. necessary for
choosing a President for the great Re-
public-which in this caselis clearly i'm
possible.
Of all the plants selected by this re-
publican caucus, the one that is talready
national has been strangely neglected.
The stately s%unhower, the fragrant
arbutus, the gay g%olden.rod, the beauti-
full mountain laurel, the grand,magnolia,
the gorgeous cardinal flower, have each
and all had their adherents, and been
voted for; but when a few out of what
should have been manymillions of votes
have been recorded, the thing comes to
a dead stop.
The american Garden may speak of
''our national flower the goMen-rod;"
but when nothing has been the choice of
the whole people, or a representative part
of the people, nothing can come of it.
But the maize, the Indian corn, has u
strong though unacknowledged position
as our national plant.-New England

Haddock VS.. the D. L. & W.

A case that is attracting consider
able attention from coal and railroad
men in general is expected to come
up for trial in the Luzerne court this
week. 1t is an action brought by
Coal Operator John c. Haddock
against the d. l.. & w. Railroad Com
pany to recover about 100000. The
history Of the case is as follows (:
Some years ago the d. L. & w. Co.
held notes for $4,000 made by the
firm of Haddock & Steele. As collat-
eral security for their payment the
company was given an admiralty
mortgage on a steamer and two barges
owned by the firm. They sued on
their collateral security, secured judg-
ment, sold the vessels for So,o buy
ing them in. They then proceeded
against Mr.. HaddoCk for the balance
which he paid, Mr.. Haddock after
ward offered to pay them the amount
realized by the sale of this valuable
steamer and barges, and asked for the
return of the vessels. The company
refusing to comply with this request,
Mr.. Haddock instituted suit for the
value of the boats $4,000 and for the
amount they would have earned for
him, in all SOS 900, less the sum $o,-
900 which they paid for the vessels.

Work to this end has been in progress

has crowned the efforts put forth and
one of the best meetings ever held in
the county took place at Centralia on
the evenings OF March IS and I9 and
at Montana the 2oth.

and Conyngham was effected by elect
ing the following officers: President,

A Sweeping Order.

The United States Express Com
pany has issued an order for all its en-
ployes, including messengers, drivers,
helpers, clerks. book-keepers, and
others who handle goods or money,
numbering 10000 or more, to supply
the company with good photographs
of themselves, accompanied by filled
in blanks. The description is to in
clude name, residence, place and date
of birth, parents name and residence,
height, weight, complexion, color of
hair and eyes, shape of nose, what hair
is worn on the face and any marks or
deformities by which the employe can
be identified. The superintendent or
agent must also add remarks as to ap-
pearance as to other respects, the
antecedent, etc. Other express Com
panies have pursued this plan for sew
eral years.

Why Is It.

During the decade between 1880 and
1890, Pennsylvania's gain in popuia-
ton was aa.77 per cent, which was
fully as great as the most enthusiastic
Pennsylvania had reason to expect.
But when we come to the gain in the
enrolment of children in the public
schools, we find the gain to be only
I.59 per cent. The latter falls below
the percentage of gain in population
more than FL per cent. This seems
almost unaccountable, the more so
that other states show a remarkable
gain in this direction during the same
period Ohio for instance shows a
gain Of only 1888 per cent. in her
total population, whie the gain in her
school enrolment is 5.oS per cent.
Massachusetts had done still better.
Her increase in population was 1857
per cent. while the increase in her
school population reached the very
large gain of 1888 per cent. What is
there in the school system in Pennsyl-
vania that produces such an unsatis-
factory result ? Once we were in the
forefront in this matter, while now it
SENS we are even unable to keep up
with the procession.

The days of '64 are being talked
over now on account of the recent
arrest of one of our citizens. Every
one seems to have his own story and
the consequence is some pretty earn
est conversations on the subject.
That there have been wrongs COM
mitted, all agree but just where, and
how, and who did the worst of them,
is the point that excites the minds OF
our patriotic neighbors, and brings
back the memories of those days OF
party feuds which were supposed to
be buried with the rebellion. The
popular voice is that military ques-
tons should have been settled at the
time of military regulations.

BRIAROREEK.

Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Michael have
been called upon to mourn the loss of
their daughter. Miss Liddie, the only
daughter, was about 10 years old and
the pet of the family, died with pneu-

day the 18th; at Lime Ridge.
Mr.. Henry Rittenhouse met with
an accident on last Tuesday the 18th,
being at Berwick on horseback and on
the way home the bride bit broke,
leaving the horse unmanagable. The
horse taking advantage Of it started
for home and Mr.. Rittenhouse seeing
the only thing for him to do was to
jump off, and SO doing the horse
blanket coming in contact with the
horses feet threw the horse at the
same time he jumped, and the horse
fell right on top of him. Mr.. Rittten.
house says he feels very sore, and is
not out of danger yet. The doctor
says he is no better or any worse that
he could tell at this writing.

Messrs. Ash & Bro. are rebuilding
their hog pens at their distillery. Any
one having hogs to fatten it will pay
them to see after it in due time, for
their terms are very reasonable, 50 to

cheaper than any one can fatten them
himself considering the high prices for
grain. They say they feed 40 head.
They expect to resume operating
their distillery On the first of May.

On Wednesday night about fifty
chickens we're stolen from John

be taken towards their detection.

Minstrel Managers, who has drawn
from far and near select minstrel pro.
ducts to the number Of $50, and
formed them into four large compa-
nies. One of these very choice Com

ored Carnival Minstrels," will visit
Bloomsburg this friday evening
March 27, and give one of their rare
entertainments. This Company, UNI
bering over half hundred "tip top

equaled. The "heavy weights" are

and were obtained only by the 'large
purse" held up for them by their clear
headed and far-seeipg Manager. A
splendid corps Of Vocal Artists, Dan
GERS, Specially Performers, and a su-
perb Band and Orchestra, every one
of whom is highly proficient in their
work, complete the ensemble. They
will inaugurate new era in progress
sive Minstrelsy, and make this win
some style of entertainment more fas-
cinating than ever. Costumes and
stage settings are furnished on the re-
gardless-of-expense plan, while every
detail of stage craft will be used in this
crowning achievement. The pro-
gramme is arranged on the too-many-

Our East Benton correspondent
calls attention to the proposition of
the portrait companies to give away
portraits. The public will do well to
avoid these concerns, or any concern
that offers to give something for moth
ing. The work is very inferior and
the frame that one is compelled to
pay for, costs as much as fine work
can be gotten for at home. Don't be
caught with any such bait, but 60 to
a respectable photographer at home
and there is no danger of being
swindled.
