ENcurai0na.

That the public has come to recognize
the fact that the best and most convenient
method of pleasure travel is to participate
in the Pennsylvania Railroad company's
personally conducted tours, is evidenced
by their increased popularity with each
succeeding year and the number of in
quiries in regard to them.
Under this system the lowest rates are
obtained, both for transportation and hotel
accommodation, and none but the best
hotels are used. An experienced tourist
agent and chaperon accompany each tour
TO look after the comfort of the passenger
The following tours have been arranged
for the season of 1896:

Leg Broken.

Ollie Smithbauer. son of Jacob Smith
bauer, of Cambria township, who was en-
ployed at Browns steam mill on the
Blacklick, about five miles west of Ebens-
burg, made a narrow escape from being
killed on Monday when he met with an ac-
cident which resulted in having his right
leg broken between the ankle and the
knee.
Young Smithbauer with a number of
other employees, was work at the ending
OF log side which is ABOUT a mile long
and built up into the woods for the pur-
pose of brin ging logs to the mill. 1t is
very steep and the logs come dowu with a
frightfu, velocity.
The men we're not expecting the coming
| of any logs and were working indifferently
to any danger when the suddenly realized
that the logs were tumbling all around
them. All except Smithbauer succeeded
in getting out without being caught but
several made very narrow escapes. He
| was taken TO his home and is getting along
| as well as could be expected.

Hunting=Dog Stories.

Sportsmen find plenty of food for con-
versation in the results of the field trials
held recently in Baltimore. The head
quarters of the Baltimore Gun Club were
crowded daily with dog owners and gun
ners, who had lively chin trials. E. B.
Coe, whose dog won first prize in the all
age stake at the field trials, said he had
kept tab and found that the number of
persons thereabouts who claim to own
dogs that are broken better than his had
now reached forty three. A member of
the club said cit has been remarked that
man who becomes the owner of a dog, a
gun, or fishing rod is at once converted
into prevaricator.'
''That's So" said Mr.. Charles Allard,
but truth is stranger than fiction all the
time. dom see the necessity of stretch
ing yarn when actual occurrences are
| Sufficiently wonderful. Now there is the
pointer Jip | once owned. Poor girl she
died long ago, but she was the smallest
tield-dog on earth. She hunted straight
for the gun. One day | saw her on a
point. Suddenly she crouched to the
ground. l found she had a live partridge
in her mouth. | took the bird away from
her and killed it. Still Jp did not arise.
Running my hand under her pulled out
four more live birds which she had cap
tured. ~ There was a dead silence for
moment, broken at last by the crash of a
stack OF empty powder cans which the
proprietor OF the place, Mr.. Linthicum,
topples over whenever true story so
enormously stranger than fiction is
sprung. Usually he is rewarded with
sulphurous reproaches or brash offer to
bet that the story can be proved
ON, ,,I, h.
gan Mr. Henry Beck, as Mr.. Linthicum
stacked up his cans ''when | saw the big
gest flock of blackbirds it has ever been
my lot to observe. AS they arose l fired
at the flock, but did not kill bird.''
The hearers all arose to take Mr.. Beck
hand, but he waved them aside.

Crash went the cans.
A sportsman who lives near Elkridge
said he owned a setter dog, which when
on point would lift his hind foot and
tap the ground one time for each bird in
the flock.
E. B. Goes said his dog flushed a wood
cock, which flew towards him and
jammed his head into the muzzle of his
gun, the bird thus killing itself and saw
ing load of shot and powder. Mr. Rod
Coe, father of the young man, substan-
tiated the story
/ John r. Williar said he was ducking
with Mr. Jack Sutton, at the mouth Of
Romney Creek. A redhead duck flew by
just out of range. Sutton, for practice
threw his gun to his shoulder, with no in
tention of shooting. The duck saw the
act and quickened his flight, but sudden
ly fell dead into the creek and was re-
trieved The bird had broken it's neck

Grant in War=Times.
Personal Appearance of the Commando of the
Army.

A description of Gen. Grants personal
appearance at this important period of
his career may not be out of place here,
particularly as up to that time the public
had received such erroneous impressions
of him. There were then few correct
portraits of him in circulation. Some of
the earliest pictures purporting to be pho
tographs OF him had been manufactured
when he was at the distant front, never
stopping in one place long enough to be
focused" Nothing daunted, the prac-
tisers of that art which is the chief solace
OF the vain had photographed a burly
beef contractor, and spread the pictures
broadcast as representing the determined,
but rather robust, features Of the coming
hero, and it was some time before the real
photographs which followed We're believed
to be genuine.
False impressions Of him We're derived,
too, from the fact t'lat he had come forth
from country leather store, and was IA
mos chiefly for striking sledge- hammer
blows in the field, and conducting relent-
less pursuits of his foes through the
swamps of the Southwest. He was pic
ttured in the popular mind as striding
about in the most approved swashbuckler
style of melodrama. Many of us were
not a little surprised to find in him a man
of slim figure, slightly stopped, five feet
eight inches III height, weighing only
hundred and thirty five pounds, and of a
modesty of mien and gentleness of manner
which seemed to fit him more for the
court than for the camp. His eyes were
dark gray, and were the most expressive
of his features. Like nearly all men who
speak little, he was good listener; but
ind Of
thoughts, and it was the expression of his
eyes which furnished about the only re-
Spouse to the speaker who conversed with
him. When he was abont to say anything
amusing, there was always perceptible
twinkle in his eyes before he began to
speak, and he often laughed heartily at
witty remark or a humorous incident.
His mouth, like Washington's, was of
the letter box shape, the contact of the
lips forming nearly horizontal line. This
feature was of pattern in striking con-
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1896-11-12

trast with that of Napoleon, who had a
bow mouth, which looked as if it had
been modelled after front view of his
cooked hat. The firmness with which the
generals square shaped jaws were set
when his features were in repose was
highly expressive of his force of charac-
ter and the strength of his will power. His
hair and beard were of chestnut brown
color. The beard was worn full, no part
of the face being shaved, but, like the
hair, was always kept closely and neatly
trimmed. Like Cromwell, Lincoln, and
several other great men in history, he had
! a wart on his cheek. In his case it was
small, and located on the right side just
above the line of beard. His face was
not perfectly symmetrical, the left eye be-
ing very little lower than the right His
brow was high, broad, and rather square,
and was creased with horizontal wrinkles,
which helped to emphasize the serious
and somewhat careworn look which was
never absent from his countenance. This
expression, however, was in no wise an in
dication of his nature, which was always
buoyant, cheerful, and hopeful. His voice
was exceedingly musical, and one of the
clearest in sound and most distinct in
utterance that l have ever heard. 1t had
a singular power of penetration, and SEN
fences spoken by him in an ordinary tone
in camp could be heard at a distance
which was surprising.
His gait in walking might have been
called decidedly unmilitary. He never
carried his body erect, and having no ear
for music or rhythm, he never kept step
to the airs played by the bands, no matter
how vigorously the bass drums emphasiz-
ed the accent. When walking in company
there was no attempt to keep step with
others. In conversiug he usually employ
ed only two gestures; one was the strok-
ipg of his chin beard with his left hand
the other was the raising and lowering of
his right hand, and resting it at inter
walls upon his knee OF a table, the hand
being held with the fingers close together
and the knuckles bent, so that the back
of the hand and fingers formed right
angle. When not pressed by any matter
of importance he was often slow in his
movements, but when reused to activity
he was quick in every motion, and worked
with marvellous rapidity He was civil to
all who came in contact with him, and
never attempted to snub any one, or treat
anybody with less consideration on ac-
count of his inferiority in rank. With
him there was none of the puppyism so
often bred by power, and none of the dog
matism which Samuel johnson character
lied as puppyism grown to maturity.

The cause Of municipal reform has
received another black eye in Phila-
delphia where the candidates cham
pioned by thehnon-partisan Municipal
league Were ignominiously defeated.
The inhabitants of most of our larger
cities are still too hide-bound in their
partisan politics to see that good local
government depends upon the selection
of men of business capacity to local
offices. The time will come when polit-
ical creed will be subordinated to in
tcgrity and fitness in candidates for
municipal prefcrmcnt, but it will come
only after repeated rebuffs. Expert
ence is the only permanently successful
schoolmaster for municipalities as for
individuals, and the cost is high for one
and the other.
