Arabs. One afternoon, in sketching outside
an Arab cafe, q grave N1ussulman squatted
cross-legged on bench alongside of me and
for three mortal hours did nothing but con-
template The Arabs have a word in their
language which is wanting in ours-che-
masses, those who live by the sun. Along
a sunny wall, when the celestial orb is not
too hot, you can see dozens of ehemasses
wrapped up in their bernouses, some prone
on the ground and others cross-legged. You
cannot distinguish face, hands or feet, for
the bernous enyelops each completely
When sufficiently roasted in the sun they

The Weather in Africa.
1t is getting to be real roasting African
weather. In the morning at 8 o'clock il is
as hot as at midday in the United States in
the middle of summer. For two hours at
midday a dead silence reigns in the city.
Everybody is taking his siesta. The in
habitants of Tunis adapt themselves better
to torrid weather than Europeans or Ameri-
cans, and q great many of the Juvenile pop
ulation run around the street in a state of
primeval nakedness and many only bur-
dened with a single overall If you are
poor in Tunis your tailor's bill does not
amount to very much.
The Arabs make their bread at home and
take it to the bakers to be baked. Each
loaf bears some distinguishing Ornamental
tion enabling the owner to identify his
loaves when baked The interior of bake
house is very picturesque, with the innu-
merable fiat loaves on wooden slabs strew-
ing the floor, and two Arabs are pitching
the loayes to the other like so many bricks,
to be showed into the oven bya loDg-handied
apparatus The natives bring their vari-
ouslv-shaped loaves to the bakers on a
wooden slab, which they carry on their
heads.
Africa is country full of pitfalls for the
uninitiated. l was lately in the habit of
taking an afternoon stroll into the country
outside Tunis and spending the afternoon
sketching, or, if inspired, L would lay down
under the shade of cactus hedge or olive
grove to read and dream. One day. under
the shade of cactus hedge, 1 was Mortified
to see an immense speckled snake of a
yenomous variety eOiled among the cactus q
few feet back of my head. L need hardly
say L quickly made noiseiess tracks from
the vicinity of my speekled friend. In re-
lating the fact at dinner, learned I had
had a very narrow escape.

row DOWN. We SLAVES.

Investigation now under way pro
misses to disclose in short time some
Of the tyrannical methods pursued by
cooperative power not a thousand
miles away. 1t will show how men who
have manliness and courage to assert
their rights, and thus rise above the
common level of mere slaves, are hound
ed FROM one place to another while
their families are made to suffer. II
will show the contemplate methods
pursued to choke off and strangle men
who are Independent, to crush the
natural and inaleinable rights and pri
viliges Of the class who eat their bread
by the sweat of their brow. What ar'
we coming TOT we may well ask, wher
natural ambition, when the push anC
fire of life must be kept at slow heai
by the power of corporation rule. Is i
any wonder that business suffer
through strikes and kindred evils re
sultant from corporation viciousness'
You answer no, and it is taken up anC
echoed all over the land. Let us hop
that all things will bring about al
equitable adjudication of the threaten
cd troubles and that peace and har
mony will prevail all through the Val
ley where now there is signs of threat

:sArURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1891.
THEIR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

As a proof of the extent to which the
opposition Of the Regular Democracy
are forced, it is only necessary to refer
to the effort making to soft soap intelli-
gent people with the plea that, because
the State Convention refused to recog-
nize the delegates Of the regular party,
that the combination is the great 81
am" With some people this may take
very well, but certainly not with that
class Of people who have an under
standing Of the affairs of the county,
who know the contemplate methods
pursued by this very combination to
secure the vantage of recognition from
State organization that has put itself
on level with the same element of
corruption and fraud that disrupted
the late meeting of the County Democ-
racy. The action of those who term
themselves the combination was not a
sudden, unprecedented movement,
but was the arrangement of weeks and
months Of deliberrte study. The coun-
ty organization was in the hands of the
combination, and such INSCRIPTIONS
leaders as Mickey Cassidy, Robert
Klotz, E. H. Rauch, ct. al were not long
to take advantage of this. They laid
the plansand their hirelings perpetrated
the job that has brought disgrace on
the party that lives on the foundation
of civil hberty--a government for, with
and by the people. Although they rep
resented but a third of the number in
the county gathering, Mickey Cassidy
with superlative GOODNESS and daring
audacity determined to have full sway,
and he succeeded by the exercise Of a
gag law that puts the world-famous
Tom Reed to shame But did he gag
the majority? Hardly for the out
burst Of feeling from all points in the
county at once showed the people that
such methods were contemplate and
abortive to public good, and now the
combination stands almost alone in its
own disgrace. Many people who were
misled in the issue of Esser and Clauss
now see that the fight of the combina-
tion was but to secure control of the
Democratic county organization and to
reap the benefits therefrom should the
Democracy elect their Presidential
candidate in 1892. This is plain to the
public who saw the combination desert
all othor candidates at the last moment
but one, while to each their promises
were plenty. But shall q combination
which stoops to such methods Of hypoc
risy, fraud and corruption represent
the Democracy of Carbon county,
Most certainly notl The people have
too much respect for the fair name Of
their party to place its fate in the
hands Of such men who care little fol
its welfare, but much for their own Ag
grandizement No, the plans of tn,
combination of hypocrital purifiers ar
too well known not to meet with thaf
ringing defeat which it so well merits
The people will administer just re
buke at the proper time. The days o
the combination are few, and they ar,
full of trouble.

AT THE OPENING OF COURT at Sunbury
recently, Judge Rockefeller gave notice
that hereafter applicants for naturali-
zation would be compelled to have a
general knowledge of the constitution
of the United States. The action OF
the court in reference to this matter
will meet with general approval and is
certainly commendsble. The man who
desires to become a citizen swears allie
glance to the United States and it is
no more than right that ne should have
some conception of the fundamental
principles of the government which he
desires to adopt. Every judge in the
commonwealth Of Pennsylvania should
adopt the same rule and the class Of
citizenship would steadily better itself

THERE ARE GOOD MANY persons un-
der the impression that the new ballot
reform law passed at the last session
of the legislature will go into effect at
the November election. This is mis-
take. It will not be in force until after
the first of March, 1892, and it will be
somewhat similar to the Australia sys.
tenn of voting. The booths required al
the election places will be furnished by
the state, but all tickets must be pro
vided by the county commissioners and
by them distributed to the polls. The
new law forbids poll-committee men
from congregating at the election
places. In that respect it will be {
boon to candidates, because they viii
not be required to go down into theii
pockets so deep to meet the expenses
Of the campaign.

A Safety Lamp for Mines.

A new safety lamp for mines--a rectan-
gular box Of ebonite containing accumula-
tors Of the Pollak system. and resting on
q metal plates described in o London
journal, with the statement that, with the
mode experimental with and weighing
some 200 grams. perfectly constant
light of OF TO 0.s candle power was given
forth for twelve hours. In this device an
ebonite lid serves as support for a glow
lamp inclosed in a cylinder OF thick glass
the whole covered with metal top fixed
closely by means of pins, the junction be-
ing made hermetic by leaf Of soft caout-
chouc introduced between the top and the
box.
Into the lid are inserted rods Of an inoxi-
dizable metal, which pass through it, and
support AZ their bases contacts Of platinum,
these meeting the platinum contacts OF the
accumu lators. and having at their sum-
mits springs, one of which il in metallic
connection with foot OF the lamp; the
other foot Of the lamp ia insulated and can
TO brought in contact with pole Of the
accumulation by means Of needle intro
duoed into u horizontal channel made in
the lid.
As tho contacts are In the interior OF the
box and the lid, neither the opening nor
the closing OF the current can cause an ex-
plosion. hence the lamp can he either ig-
nited or extinguisbed In an ipfammable

sents itself that. IL the system or arrange

1t was In the year OF 11.s.6 that I.afay cite,
net yet nineteen years old, at q dinner
party at Metz, where he was stationed with
his regiment, heard that the American
colonies had declared their independence
The dinner at which he was present was
given by the commandment of the garrison
of the Duke OF Gloucester. q brother of the
King Of England.
Young Lafayette had heard much before
of tho cause of the officially between Eng
land and her colonies and he had mado
up his mind they had been badly treated
His youthful imagination took Gre at this
new land, separated from the Old World by
invested by ite distance with a halo OF TO
nance, and his generous nature impclled
him to take sides with those he thought
oppressed
Before he left the table he resolved to
draw his sword in the cause of American
independence He acted upon this resolu-
ton at once. Going Immediately to Paris
he sought an interview with the American
commissioners franklin. Deane and Ar
thur Lee, and told them Of his intentions
of going to America
These patriots sadly informed him that
Washington was retreating through New
Jersey from the British, and that this Of
fcred aid from France, though kindly and
nobly meant. might very likely arrive too
late. Besides, Lafayette's family and pow
erfni friends in the government did all
they could to thwart his purpose. but the
young hero was determined. The opposi-
tion delayed him, but it did not stop him

Rank Among tho Matches.

The Natchez were divided into mobiles
and common people, which last, with an
arrogance not peculiar to savages alone,
were designated "stinkards.
The mobiles themselves were divided into
Suns, mobiles and men Of rank. The Suns,
according TO tradition, were descended
from 4 man and woman who came down
from the sun 10 teach them how to lire and
govern themselves They enjoyed immu-
nifty from punishment by death, aud their
nobility was transmitted only through the
female line. Although the children, both
male and female, bore the name Of Suns,
the males enjoyed this honor in their own
persons alone.
Their male children were only mobiles,
the next generation were men Of rank,
and the third lowered them TO plain stink
ards, although distinguished actions might
rctard the deterioration of the blood. But
the case was very different With the female
posterity. They enjoyed through all gen
erations the privileges OF their rank. Ian
doniere speaks of queen who was nuch
reverenced by her subjects when he visited
Florida
The nobility never interrnarried. As we
have already noticed. one OF their laws pro-
hibited their being put to death for any
reason whatsoever. Another law decrcssl
that when Sun died his or her eonjugal
partner should be put to death at the time
of burial TO fulfill these two laws they
only married stinkards III. A Giddingz
