Crushed Oinder for Bloom Street,

Bloom street above the Reading
railroad crossing is receiving a coat
of crushed cinder shipped from the
Chulaskey plant.
The Borough has used good many
car loads OF this material upon the
streets during the latter part of the
summer and is well pleased with the
result of the experiment. Street Com
missioner K. S. Miller yesterday stat
ed that in his opinion the crushed
cinder wears better and in other re-
spects is superior to limestone. 1t is
coming into favor very rapidly, Blooms
burg being one of the nearby towns
which along with Danville has adopt
ed its use.

He was an excellent eomrade. but he allowed me to crawl over stone fence. snake through thicket Of briars and up hin one-quarter of mile steep without ever offering me the least assistance. Had southern man treated me in this fashion l should have died of exhaus- tion and indignation. As it was | climbed the situation with fortitude that I have never showed before or since. I felt a humorous exhiIaration in conforming to his strenuous notions of sex.
 These are some of my first impress sions of the north. More particularly I was amazed at the indefatigable ener- gy of these people. What we know as leisure is an experience they can never have.

of the Sunday services at their churches which we print SO regularly.
 The religious revival into which John Wesley threw all the ardor of his na- ture. and to which he gave his really wonderful organizing and administha- tive abilities. was pushed forward with out help or sympathy from the Church of England. Methodism, looked bit in Gerision. gathered force from outside the establishment and not from with it. But about 100 years after Wesley formally started the Methodist move ment there began at Oxford another and a very different revival, or the Ox- ford movement, which has resulted in the ritualism we are now hearing so much about. Methodism was a reyiy- al of evangelicalisn. the Oxford move ment reaction toward sarcedotalism, sacramentarianism and religious me- diaevalisn. F.. -.....s.- .s.
 At the moment. this reaction is the most significant religious movement of the times, for, as we have said, in it's purely ritualistic features it has affect ed even Methodism itself. and its irfiu- ence to that extent is felt in protestant churches very generally. It grows steadily and becomes more and more violent in its assault on the genius of professionalism, It would get rid of the title of protestant bornes by the Epis- copal church. as hateful contradic- tion of it's whole theory and argument. and substitute the title of catholic, to which 1t lays hot claim.
 The very earnestness and aggressive ness of this .'eatholic.' party, however, are giving a fresh stimulus to the prot estnatism of the Episcopal church. Protestant sentiment has manifestly in creased in strength during the last ten years, or, at least, its assertion has grown bolder and more uncompromis- ing. As Methodism celebrates the bi- centenary of Wesley the religious world seems to be preparing for contest between the catholic and protestant Ideas which may have momentous significance. Meanwhile Mrs. Eddy gathers at her Concord home thousands of Christian Science pilgrims, and in addton the forces of religious infideiity were never so strong New York Sun.

PEACE IND PROGRESS.

It is cheerful even in this torrid weather to know that peace and prog ress prevail and have prevailed in the Province of Ambos Camarines.. Philip pine Islands, for the last year, as is learned from the annual report of Gov ernor Ross just submitted to the Bureau of Insuiar Affairs of the War Depart ment. Governor Ross says the people of that province realize that peaceful conditions are essential to progress and prosperity, and he gives them tho credit of helping to maintain such conditions. This province is. blessed also with un- limited agricultural possibilities and a soil of great fertility that will grow all most anything. And here is an oppor- tunity for the very profitable employ ment of American capital, some of which is being put into losing and un- sound speculative enterprises at home The Filipino officials, moreover, employ Su III bHS pIuhlHCc dlr louIlu ihillllul efficient and absolutely honest. The little brown brothers there evidently haven't developed any postof11ce scam dals. @@
 There are now in the province, under the direct control of American teachers, twenty eight schools. with teaching staff of twenty-seven American and thirty-f1ve native teachers. The enroll ment for the entire province is 3,o79, with an average daily attendance of 2,142.
 This is a gratifying report and does honor to the aforesaid Province of Am- bos Canaarines.

The recent dull monotony of Wall street was in amazing contrast with the intense activity prevailing there not many moons ago. Then all was anil nation and excitement. Brokers were overworked, clerks toiled far into the night and sometimes all night to keep up with the business details and the shekels poured into the treasuries of the dealers while big fortunes were made by big spectators easily, and the rank and file trailed along and had their in nings also. Then stocks were climbing soaring. Since last summer great change has come over the spirit of Wall streets golden dreams. Downward, steadily downward. the stocks have gone with now and then Feeble rally until few weeks ago there was dull thud and the bottom appeared to have been reached. Liquidation it was then thought by many wise heads had run it's course and stocks certainly have looked cheap of late compared with the dizzy heights they attained ill the last year or two. There seems to be no cheerful haste to buy, however, even at these lower prices. The public looks askanee at the stock list having had a remarkable and impressive object lesson as to the way prices can peel off when distrust sets in. The country isn't go- ing to the dogs, however. Railroad earnings and net earnings at that, con- tinue amazingly large. Despite the higher cost of labor and material the earnings keep up wonderfully well. But the spirit of pessimism is rampant, due to the warning spectacles made by a number of over-capitalized combina- tions that have already gone to the wall and fear that there may be others of like ilk. It is now contest of bears and bulls in Wall street, with various uncertainties hanging over the market which give ammunition to the bears and triumphant railroad earnings, big wheat crops and fair chance for a big corn crop favoring the bulls. Mean while, probably not in years, will there be such another boiling stock market as the one which came to close last sum- mer.
 Yesterday there was another bear on- slaught and New York Central, one of the pivotal stocks which Wall street prophets predicted would climb to 200 when it was over 16o, slumped down to below 12o. And so the Kaleidoscope of Wall street changes. s.s"

 Would find 1t sweet to soar with me! The bird that close to earth doth cling May, darkling, be content to sing. But full the sunlight shines afar- And there be heights where eagles are. Give me not love which hour by hour,

The national interest that is being awakened throughout the country on the forestry subject is a most gratify- ing thing and promises immense yalu- able results. California is now an other of the states that is turning vig- orous attention to this subject, and with the intention of fixing upon a. proper forest policy that state has un- dertaken this year, with the help of the Bureau of Forestry of the Department of Agriculture at Washington, com- prehensive study of it's forests. The State legislature recently, appropriated $15,OOO for the study, the condition being that it should be carried out by the Bureau of Forestry, and that the bu- reau should bear half the expense.
 The task of securing all the informa- ton necessary for a. forest policy for California the Bureau of Forestry has begun this summer. The work is of such magnitude that several years will be required to complete it, but valua- ble and suggestive results will be.se- cured each year. Six men are now ex- anlining public lands in the State to de- termine what parts of them are suita- ble for national forest reserves, and similar studies will be made of lands for State reserves. A study will be made of all lands owned by the State in order to determine the uses to which they may best be put, who should ad-

The recent Western floods helped some and hurt others. The farmers in the Burlington bottom, near Harts- burg, for example, find that what they thought was a disaster to them was really a blessing. The floods washed out all their corn; but it deposited from six inches to six feet of rich soil on their land. They replanted their crops as soon as the water had subsided, and their corn came up so quickly and has grown so fast that already they have better stand than farmers on the high CT lands surrounding, which were not touched by the waters.

Missouri Light Artillery.

EDIoR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: In your
issue of Nov. q you stated. under the
heading of Missouri in the. War" that
Missouri furnished to the Unien army six
batteries of light artillery. Now,r this is
not correct, for l served three years in
the list Mo. L. A., consisting of six
gun batteries, and Missouri had two regi-
ments of artillery, mostly Germans of St
Louis and the surrounding counties. AL
though they did not put down the rebel
lion, they still have right to be remem-
bered as a part of that grand Union army.
HENRY DORMEYER, Evansville, Ind.
The statement made was taken with
out examination from Phisterer. He is
usually very correct, but in this instance
seems to have made a slip. AS our cor
respondent states, there were two full reg
iments of light artillery from Missouri,
and three independent batteries. The
list Mo. L. A. was commanded by Col.
Warren L. Lothrop, and had service run
ming from June 10, 1861, to Aug. %, 1865.
The I'd regiment was commanded by Col.
Nelson Cole, afterwards Senior Vice-Com-
mander-in- Chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, who served from Sept. 16, 1861,
to Dec 20, 1865. The Independent batter
les were, LIST battery, State Militia, Capt.
Chas ii. Thurbur; Kowald's Battery,
which did not complete its organization
and was mustered out after a short serv-
ice, and the battery of the Mississippi
Marine Brigade. - EDITOR NATIONAL
