THE ELoPEMENT CROP.

The elopement season this year began
early and bids fair to last late. The crop has
been unusually large all over the country
and every mail brings assurances that the
harvest will be abundant. Advices from
Russia and Germany state that owing to
drouth and exhaustion there will not be
more than fifty per cent of the usual
crop. This means that the United States
will have to furnish the supply
for the world Present appearances indi-
cate that Pennsylvania will supply her
share. Allegheny, McKeesport, York,
Lancaster and Pittsburg have each COM
menced the expectation of elopiDg couples,
and there are several precincts yet to hear
from.
Inquiry has been received as to why the
spring and summer months should be
more productive of elopements than the
fall and winter This is not a question
readily answered, but statistics show that
it is fact that more people get married
in spring and summer than in fall and
winter, and reasoning by analogy we
should say that elopements occur more
frequently at stated periods for the same
reason that weddings do.

TERMS OF THE DISPATCH.
P1TTsBURG, FRIDAY, JULY IL, 1871,
PERSONALITIES NOT WANTED.

Already there is talk of attacking the
personal record of Governor Campbell in
the Ohio campaign. 1t is needless to say
that this does not come from nor by the
sanction of Major Mckinley. He and the
Governor are personal friends, and will
wage war only on party issues. 1t would
show a littleneSS on the part of the Ohio
Republican managers to attack Mr. Camp
bell personally after he has so boldly ac
cepted their challenge to make the fight
squarely on the tariff issue. This cam
paign is looked upon as forerunner OF
the national battle, and with personalities
a factor ii would not show the real attitude
of Ohio voters on a vital issue at stake.
The enemies Of Governor Campbell
should look back on the last campaign
and note the result of the personal battle
waged by Foraker. Though nothing per-
sonal could be so easily turned against the
present Republican candidate, hundreds
would champion Campbell'S cause on ac-
count of abuse of him. Protection, not
personalities, is the true issue in the
neighboring State now The lines are
closely drawn on this vital question, and
true friends of progress and prosperity
will not sanction or encourage any side
issues calculated to overShadow the tariff.
The specter of Free Trade should be sutfi-
cient to scare enough votes away from the
Democratic nominee to give Major Nc
kinley a rousing majority.

F1RE.R,1s s11ICIDE AND CRIME.

A New York lawyer, who has been
studying suicide, claims that one OF the
most prolific causes is the ease with which
firearms can be purchased. This is no
new idea, but it is good one to keep be-
fore lawmakers. Several Southern States
already regulate the sale of firearms, and
every State in the Union should follow
suit As a means of preventing murder,
suicide and accident the sale of poisons
has long been regulated, but the sale OF
firearms goes on unrestricted. There is
more reason to regulate the sale OF the
latter than the former, as while polsons
are only handled by competent men, any
body can lay in a stock of revolvers, cart
ridges, ETC., and sell them to whoever
cares to buy.
The New Workers. plan for the correc-
ton of this evil is a good one. Among its
provisions is one making it necessary to
secure a license for the sale of firearms,
another prohibiting their sale to minors
and requiring that all pistols and reyolvers
be numbered like watches and record Of
purchasers kept Dealers should also
know their purchasers, and if they sell to-
disreputable characters they should share
in the penalties of crime caused by their
indiscretion. The carrying of concealed
weapons has become great evil, and, as
the law making it a misdemeanor is prac-
tically imperative, the sale OF firearms
should be so regulated as to ward OF the
dangers which at present menace all.

MIsroRTUNEs COME NOT sINGLY.

The sad and strange chapter of acci-
dents that befell the occupants of board
ing house at Heating station, near Brad
dock, Wednesday night and yesterday
morning seems to prove the truth of that
trite saying, "misfortunes never come
singly" The i'll wind that blew in
this instance first carried off a boarder
who committed suicide by drowning The
owner of the house left his family at home
and departed to notify the authorities of
the death of his boarder. While he was
gone lamp exploded and two of his
children were burned to death. He re-
turned in time TO attempt TO rescue them
by means of a plank, which broke beneath
his weight and before he could obtain
another plank the roof fell in and his
children perished. Yesterday morning
two of his boarders were digging in
the ruins for gold they had in
their rooms, when the chimney fell
upon them, burying both and injuring one
so that he will not recover. The horse of
the physician who was summoned to at
tend them took fright and the doctor was
thrown from the buggy, sustaining serious
internal injuries. This, so far as reported,
completes the list of misfortunes, and the
people of Heating may well exclaim,
Mysterious are the ways of Providence"

TENNIS PoPULAR PAsTIME.

That so many people attend the tourna-
ment of the Pittsburg Tennis Club, now
being held shows the game is growing in
popularity as a means of recreation.
There are many reasons why tennis should
be popular among young people. In aver
age out-of-door games ladies cannot COM
pete with gentlemen, but in tennis they
are not at a disadvantage, as it does not re-
quire much physical strength. Lovers of
violent sports characterize tennis as a
child'S game, but they forget that skill is
cultivated on the tennis court as well as on
the diamond.
As means of recreation tennis should
be fostered by all who believe in mild
methods of physical culture. 1t furnishes
splendid exercise without the violence and
dangers of base or football Exercise is
essential to health, and very few are in
clined to take this medicine unless it is
prescribed along with pleasure. Hence
tennis in well regulated doses is relished
by all who cannot partake of the strong
muscular medicine that goes with the
games INDUCED in by athletic giants.

PROFITABLE SUMMER PAsTINIEs.

The convention season is in full blast.
East, West, North and South deliberative
bodies are discussing all manner of ques-
tions, each having some bearing upon the
welfare of the human race Religion,
science, education, industry, art, all have
their delegated devoteeS at work in quiet
spots wEsre social restraints do not ham,
per free Intercourse or draw class lines
closely. At these gatherings the brother
hood of man is brought out in bold relief,
and the stTifeS of life are sunk in the
thought waves that wash the shores of the
throbbing world, bearing on their crests
crumbs of comfort and bits of cheer-the
fiotsam and the jetsam of higher aims,
better works, surer progress.
Thus Summer is not wholly devoted to
pleasure. The laugh from the beach
mingleS with the sound of the voice raised
in the interest of the worlds betterment;
the shout from the hillside dies away in
the song that heralds the triumph of some
fresh victory in the field of human aims;
the play goes on under the shadow of the
mental workshop. Each Summer the
corps of thinkers-this grand army of
workers for "the good of the order
multiplies and throws out advance guards
into newer fields of thought and endeavor.
While the players hear only the clash of
ideas, the creaking of hobbies, the jeers of
critics-see only tottering idols, crumbling
edifices, blasted hopes-the searchers and
strivers labor on. Their paths are not
parallel, but all lead to the same goal-the
worlds trysting place, where all will meet
with questions definitely settled, problems
solved, hopes realized, endeavors crowned,
objects attained.
Surely the seed sown at the summer
meets of the deliberative bodies will yield
a fine harvest for humanity's sake They
who compose them labor for the good of
