What my Friend Said to Me.
_ Trouble! dear friend; I know her not. God
sent
His angel Sorrow on my heart to lay
Her hand in benediction, and to say:
“ Restore, 0 child, that which thy Father lent
For he doth now recall it,” long ago.
His blessed angel, Sorrowl. She has walked
For years beside me, and we two have talked
As chosen friends together. Thus I know 1
Trouble and Sorrow are not near of kin;
Trouble distrustcth God, and even wears
Upon her brow the seal of. many cares.
But Sorrow 'oft has deepest peace'withiu,
She sits with Patience in her perpetual calm,
Waiting till Heaven shall send the healing
balm. .

‘ MAN."
[Correspondent of the Philadelphia Bulletin.]
\Vhile musing recently among the ruins of
Fort George I came across an elderly man
who had founda shady seat inside the ancient
earthworks and-was quietly smoking a discol-
ored clay pipe. The old man and his pipe
had evidently seen better days, though not
many hotter ones, as the mercury indicated
at least 100 in the shade, and as he sat and
smoked in sad meditative silence I took a
. seat a short distance from his right hand and
opened conversation with him. Said he:
“ I was born in the town of New Leb’non,
Klumby county, N. Y., on the ’leventh day
of March, 1814."
“ Then you must have know Samuel J.
Tilden ?”
“ Oh, yis; I knowed Sammy well. Ilm
jest four days older’n Sammy, but he was
too old for me onct."
“ Ah ! how did that happen?”
"‘:Wall, Sammy wuz a sly chap, and wuz
allus gittin’ us boys into scrapes, and then
leavin’. us_ to git out the heat, way we 'could.
Sometimeshe would-coiltriVeto git us licked
for What-"lie was guity“ of‘hissem but we
never could prove ‘n‘othin’ agin him. I re-
member how'a neighbor of Sammy’s father
had abig patch ’of mushmilyons one year.
They wuz called nutmeg mushmilyons be-
cause they looked like a nutmeg, but wuz
'bout as big as your double fist, round as an
apple, and'swceter’n honey. One day Uncle
Ike, as we'boys called him, told us to come
over into the garding and help ourselves, and
Mose and Sammy Tilden went with the rest
on us. Arter we’d had all we could eat, and
wuz on our way hum, Sammy spoke up, and
sayes he, ‘Say, boys, them wuz milyons ;
they wouldn’t be bad to. take every day.’
‘Yis,’ says Mose, ‘but then the old man won’t.
be apt to invite us to eat any more, for he
kin git ten cents apiece for ‘em of the visitors
at'Leb’non Springs, and he can’t afford to
give ’em all away to us boys fur nothin.”
‘ “ That’s so," says Sammy, thoughtful like.
Then he whistled'on old toon called i‘Ameri-
can Taxashum.’ Wall, Sammy whistled
that ole toon, and then nothing wuz said
about the milyons till we come to a shady
place, and all on us sot down to play mar-
bles. After awhile Sammy spoke up in a
lively sort of way,'and says he, ‘Say, boys,
itwould be dum mean if anybody should go
tonight and steal Uncle Ike’s mush-milyons,
but I'm afraid they-will, ’cause yOu see the
patch is ever so fur fromthe house,and Uncle
Ikenever keeps no dorg, nuther.’ , .
“ ‘That’s so,’ spoke up three or four of th
stealthiest little rips in the linu‘ party, all to
onct. . ‘ ‘
“ Then Tammy be sung :
“ ‘I’ll give a true ,relashun,
Attend to what I say,
' Consarnin’ the Taxashun
Of North America.’
“ Then he scythed, and says he : ‘Say-
boys, this playin' marbles don't pay. We
can’t make nothin’ at it. I’ve' been thinkin’
how’t I’d like to go into the mushmilyon
bizniz. I- think I'can afford to pay 3 cents.
apiece for milyons, just like them at Uncle
Ike’s, andno questions asked. If any of you
boys has any to sell to—night bring ’em around
to dad’s barn afore midnight, and your pay
will be ready. It’s cool then, and I’d rather
bybizniz about ’leven at night than in the.
heat of the day.’
“ That same night alot Of us boys went
to'Uncle Ike’s and borrered about two bushels
ofvmushmilyons and fetched ’em to Tilden’s
barn, and sold ’em to Sammy for 3 cents
spiece,aud Mose took ’em to-Leb’non Springs
ail-1y next mornin’, and got 10 cents for
every one of ’em. But Uncle Ike missed ’em
. afore noon, and suspectin’ they had gone to
the Springs, hitched up his old bob-tail roan
mare and went to look 'em up—and, sure
enough, there they were in a back wood-
shed all in a heap, jest as Mose had left ’em.
Uncle Ike knowed’em ’cause he had cut the
first letter of his name onto ’em, and when
he wuz told where they came from, he drove
over to Tilden’s, and says he—‘Good mornin',
Mr. Tilden, I’ve come on rather a onpleasant
bizniz.’ Then he coughed.
“ ‘Take acheer, Uncle Ike, you seem exci-
ted—what’s the matter ? Hope my hogs
haint heed heavin’ yer taters—hope none of
your cattle or horses aint sick ; hope none of
your folks is dead 1”
“ ‘Matter enough,’ says Uncle Ike. ‘Some-
body’s gone and hooked a hull slalher of my
mushmilons, and I’ve tracked ’em to the
springs, and they tellmethey bought ’em of
your boys for 10 cents apiece.’
“ ‘Is that so 7” says ole Mr. Tilden. ‘Wall,
I'll'jestcallthe boys. I allus learnt ’em to ‘
bekeerful about their reputashuns, and to
never do nuthin’ that will be discovered in a
way to sile their good names. My motto is:
Takecare of yer names, and yer kracter will
sartin take care of itself.’
“Thenhe goes out to the barn where.
Mose and Sammy was trying to cheat each
other tradin’ fish-lines, and talked with the
boys inalow tone and went back in the
house.
" When the boys came in he says, ‘Boys,
Uncle Ike has lost a hull slew of them good
milyons of hisen, and has found them at the
Springs, and they tell him that Mose brung
’em there and sold 'e'mr 'W-hat have ye got
to say, boys ? Ef you’ve stole Uncle Ike’s
mushmilyons I’ll lick ye within an inch of
yer lives.’
“ Graciousl You ought .to see Sammy!
He turned up that round, smirkin’, one-
sided face 0f liken, and lookin’ Uncle Ike
square in the eyes, said :
°‘ ‘You’rea nice-ole-uncle to come here
and twit me an’ Mose of stealin’ yer gold-
erned mushmilyons. Don’t nobody raise,
milyons in this town of: Leb’non but you ?
You ought to be ashemed of yerself. I'd
like’vto see ye prove them melyons to ‘be
yourn. Ef you can't prove 'em yourn what
are ye goin’ to do about it ? Say ?”
“ At first Uncle Ike was so tuk down by .
Sammy’s sass, that be begun to feel sheepish
like, and wuz about to beg the family’s pard-
lngrasdgo, when that last ‘misfortuuatc re-_
mark'about provin’ prop’ty riled him agin,
and 39V? he, "Sanctum-stay On yer hoss jest a
minute. . Preps you can bluff me, and props
you can’t. P‘ra'ps you'don’t know how ’t I
cut the'letter ‘1' onto the seed end of every
mushmilyon into. In? garden, and should
know 'em in Tophet, where you’ll be most
aptto get allick a sich fodder if you are
lucky enough to eat anything as coolin’ as
milyons in the 'futur life.” '
“ ‘Oh, says Sammy, ‘then you know
they’re yourn. 'And, say, Uncle Ike, I’m
glad you wuz smart enough to cut the front
corner of per fust name onto them] milyons.
I think I know the chaps that stole ’em.
I told ’em .on Sunday arter you had treated
us so nice, that it would be (him mean to go
and steal your milyons, but they didn’t mind
what I said.’
“ ‘l’m ashamed of my scxt. I’m sorry
I’m a boy, and if the Lord spares my life I’ll
never marry and run the risk of bringin’
more boys into the world, but I will devote
my life to cxposin' sinners. I’ve been in the
* mushmilyon bizuiz alittlc and bought and
sold milyons more or less, but who‘d a
thought I wuz dickerin’ with a lot of thieves?
It makes my blood bile to think of it. But
it is lucky for you and the hull country that
them milyons wuz to me. It may be the
means of breakin' up the allfiredest mushmil-
yon'gang that ever cussed the country. I
kin spot every one of ’em and bring ’em to
justice, though it’ll take timeand money, and
Ishall run the risk of gittin’ licked like
thunder, for the boys'll be awful mad. But
it is‘time somebody begun to burst these
chaps, or we’re ruined. I ain’t afered to go
' ahead if you ain’t afcared to foller.’
_ “ ‘Sammy,’ says old Mr. Tilden, ‘I never
wuz so proud of ye afore in all my born days.
’1‘ druther you‘d steal all the mushmilyons in
the County of Klumby than not git a chance
to be a reformer. You’re the stuff that GM-
hers and Pres’dents is made out on. Bless vc,
my boy !’
“ ‘Sammy,’ says Uncle Ike, with the tears
rollin’ down his face, ‘I’m glad sich a brave
and honest boy has took hold of this thing ;
and if you’ll tell me the names of the boys
that did the stealin’s ye needn’t pay back
nuthing on the milyons, and I‘ll go snucks
with ye on the money I git outcn the boys'
eads.’ I
“ Wall, us boys all got an awful tickin,
and our fathers paid Uncle Ike three times
the worth of the prop‘ty to have it hushed
up. Sammy cleared about fifteen dollars
- outcn the entire conssm, and got the name'
of bein’ the harvest and honestest hull boy
in the country, and was mentioned in the
minister‘s sarmint the next Sunday.”
The Centennial—Don’t Fail to Go.
JESSE H. JONES.
Concerning the great Exhibition at Phila-
delphia, there is really but one occasion for
fear, and that is, that November will come
and the gates will be closed and the goods
carried away, while tens of thousands of
people who might have gone had they realiz-
ed what was there, have not gone, and have,
instead, a llfe-long regret. To use all one’s
influence to g‘etall to‘ go who can, seems to
me the plain duty of every one who has been
there. The soundest judgment is summed
up in the saying of a neighbor of‘ mine:
“ Talk about you can’t afford it! No one can
afford not to go.” Just so. It is the oppor-
tunity 0f alifetime, and the like of it has
never been .on this continent. No teacher
can afford not to go. You can learn'more
geography therein a week than in a season at
any school. No student can afford not to go.
A month there is worth more than any term
in a college can be; and‘ if any college had
the wit to transport itself for a month down
there it wouln be one of the most wise and
brilliant things that has been done in con-
nection with the whole.,EXposition. West
Point goes there in a body and dwells in
tents. Why should not every college and
seminary in the land do likwise?
Every woman should: go -:-.w‘ho has bodily
strength, andzcan-g'et-the‘mdney} unlesssome
imperative duty hinders. There are ten thou-
sand teachers in New England alone who
might go, but I fear will not. Make even a
scanty wardrobe scantier, but go. Such a
place to cram one's self with knowledge
about the world can hardly beimagined, un-
til it has been seen. One will grow a year in
a week there. And now to help those who
would like to go but must be most economi-
cal, I will give a few figures :
‘ Any man Of quiet, simple habits, can start
from Boston, Monday afternoon, get back
Saturday morning, spend four days in the
more than $20. Add $10, and a man or wo-
man can start on Monday and get back a
week from the following Saturday and cover
all expenses. I will show how this can be
done. Round taip from Boston by Norwich
line, $10; by other boat lines, $11. Board
in private family, including boarding,
lodging, breakfast, and supper, from a dollar
to a dollar and a half a day,—-average, a dol-
lar and a quarter; for four days, $5; for nine
days, $11.25., Admission fifty cents a day;
for four days,- $2; for nine days, $4.50. Car
fare from 14 to 30 cents a day; for four days,
from 56 cents to $1.20; and for nine days,
from $1.27 to $2.70. Dinners, 50 cents a
day ;&or four days, $2; for nine days, $4.50.
These are all the necessary expenses, as I
know by actual experience. To recapitulate
for one week:
Round trip, $10.00
Board, 5.00
Admission, 2.00
Our fare (average,) .88
. Diuners,’ 2.00
Food, en route, 1.00
Total, $20.88
For two weeks at outside figures:
Round trip, $11.00
Board, at $1.50 per day, 13.50
Car fare, 2.70
Admission, 4.50
Dinners, 4.50
Food, en route, 2.00.
Total, $38.20
Which by taking along one’s food en route,
and by getting a plainer room and board, can
‘easily be reduced to $35. Of .course this
giVes no room for purchases, but there is no
limit to those, only one's purse. Now there
are’very few teachers who couldn’t manage
to get the $35, and not suffer in any other
direction; and whosoever can, should.
Now one word as to the board. Rev. E.
M. Long, in charge of “ Centennial Christian
Homes,” is serving the Christian public in a
way that is earning the praises of all. Going
to him, he gave me a card to as’pleasaut and
tidy a. Christian family as one would wish to
meet. There I had every cemfort I would have
had at home,was in fact just as if I had been
visiting at the house of a friend,and the price
was as moderate as I could wish. Every one
who goes to Mr. Long will be treated just as
well as I was. He has places varying in price
from $5 a week to $2.50 a day, though as a
rule they are from $8 to 12 a week. His ad-
dress is S. E. corner of Twelfth and Berks.
Write to him a few days before you start, so
that he will haveyou on his list.
To make the most of your time, take the
first train from New York after the boat gets
there. You will get to the grounds before
noon; and so can eat your dinner (this once
Outside) and then have till near seven o’clock
in the grounds,'béfo're which ' time you will
be tired enoughlto go. Take Philadelphia :36
Reading steam carsto Columbia Avenue. Ask
the way to corner Twelfth and Berks. Then
all will be easy while you stay.
Philadelphia is nothing but Eposition this
year, and everything has been done to facili-
tate travel there and comfort, while staying
there, and in the same spirit I have written
these details to help those who would go.

LiGIOUs mranrnxnuon m I’OLl’I‘ICAL AF-
rams.
The Order of the American Union has
published a summary of its principles, which
is offered by them without argument or apol-
ogy. The doctrines thus laid down by the
order are as follows :
1. We accept the Bible as the basis of all
moral, religious, governmental and education-
al undertakings. _
2. We yield an unhcsitatiug support to the
Constitution and Government of the United
States and of the several states.
3. We urge that the present system of one
general unsectarian free school organization
shall be maintained inviolate.
4. \Ve claim that no part~bf the public
funds shall ever be used for the support and
maintainance of any sectarian school or in-
stitution whatever.
5. We are opposed to any interference in
political affairs by any man or body of men
acting in behalf or by direction of any eccle-
siastical body or power, yet we make no war
on any man’s religious creed.
The objects and purposes of our order are
few and simple, and we give them publicity.
The ways and means of conducting our bus-
iness matters and the methods by which we
propose to securc'the desired. results are pe-
culiarly our own, and we intend to keep
them to ourselves. To sustain and advance
the ideas above summarized we propose to
use all lawful and suitable measures,at all
times that to us seem to be propitious, with
all persons who labor for their triumph
against all agencies which seek their over-
throw and destruction. ~ As in the past so
for the future we invite and expect to receive
the co-operation and aid of thousands upon
thousands of sturdy, -stalWart, patriotic,
thoughtful men, who love their country and
its republican institutibns with an ardor
surpassing that of party, sect or clan. The
accidents of birthplace in no way interfere
with or limit the plans or principles involved
in carrying forward. this mighty. work. Our
muster-roll for this fierce conflict means to
include, and does include, every man who
loves the truth and hates a lie; every man
who does his utmost to elevate and assist
rather thanto debase mankind; every man
who would extend the principle of civil and
religious liberty; every man who is in the
darkness of ignorance, and seeks enlighten...
most; every man who ‘holds out his hand,
shackled by‘priestly intolerance, and asks to
.be saved therefrom; every American whose
heart bounds at the mention of'JOhn Han--
cock, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
and Abraham Lincoln,- every Englishman
who veneratcs the naufgs of Milton, Knox or
Gladstone; and every man whose nerves
thrills at the names of Luther, Bismarck, or
Garibaldi. With men of metal like these we
think and work; with such men we propose
to stand or fall. I’Vepre capable of making
known our principles, of advocating them
when stated, and of maintaining them when-
ever and wherever they are assailed. We
deny the right of any other organization or
body of men to attempt to commit us to
other plans and principles than those that
have received the approval and sanction of
our order.—[N. Y. Times.
Final Preparailons for the Great
Explosion.
NEW YORK, September 13.-——As.tho time
apprdachesfor the demolition of the rocks
atEIell Gatelthe public interest in the ex-
plosionincreases. Notwithstanding the dc-
duration of the authorities in charge of the
works that visitors cannot be admitted, a
number of persons daily visit -the scene and
attempt to gain, admission to the galleries.
It is scarcely necessary to say that their
applications are refused. The slightest
accident would be inevitably attended by the
most frightful results. The men employed
in the works are now engaged in charging
the galleries which have been cut through
the solid rock beneath the river with nitro-
glycerine, rend-rock and- dyuamite, and a pre-
mature explosion would blow everybody in
the works to atoms.
There are about sixty men employed in
this dangerous work, who are paid at the
rate of $2.50 and $3 a. day. They are under
the immediate superintendence of Captain
Murdy, the United States engineer in charge,
and work gravely and silently, as if fully im-
pressed with a sense of the hazardous nature
of their enterprise.
The dynamite is brought to the mouth of
the pit in wooden cases, and is contained in
tin vessels somewhat resembling fat fausages
in shape, which are carefully packed in saw
dust. Half a dozcd of these cases are taken
to the mouth of the pit from which the gal-
leries diverge atatime, and are lowered to
the men beneath by a derrick. These cases
are handled with the utmost caution, and the
tin vessels with their dreaded contents are
lifted from their sawdust bed as carefully as
One by one they
are arranged in boxes subdivided into cells
which have been specially prepared for their
reception. They are then carried into the
galleries and placed in the positions in which
they will remain until the hour of explosion.
There are ten galleries man, in which seven
thousand-holes have been pierced, and each
hole will be filled With dymamite.
Each tin case is provided with a Spring
which secures it in its proper place in its
particular hole. This is a necessary precau-
tion to prevent the possibility of any jar or
friction. Some times a hole is deep enough
to contain two or three cartridges, as those
dynamite cases are called, and therefore each
man engaged in the responsible labor of
charging them is accompanied by a com-
panion, who, with a long stick, measures the
depths of the different drillings, and helps to
get the cartridges into position. Captain
.Murdy hopes to finish the work of charging
by the end of this week, and soon afterward
the electric wires will be put in position and .
the battery will be complete. Due notice
will be given to the'public of the day and
time of the explosion, and police boats will
guard the approaches to Hell Gate to warn
all vessels ofthc impending blast.

Cutting {1?er the Postal Service.
Wasmnorox, September? 12.—The reduc-
tions in the appropriations for the post-oflicc
department are so large that the postmaster
general will be compelled to send circulars
this week to 300 towns which have made
application for money-order offices, stating
that, owing ~to the reduced appropriations,
these requests cannot be granted. A consrd-
erablc' force is necessary to conduct the book-
keeping of this branch of the service, and the
congress has so reduced the number of clerks
in that department that it is scarcely possible
to keep up the books for the number of
offices now existing, and additional offices
cannot consequently be created. It will be
necessary to reduce the expenses in connec—
tion with the dead-letter Ollicc service, owing
to the rcduccd'appropriations. It is probable
that the postmaster general will discontinue
the return of dead letters which do not con-
tain money, to their writers, This is the
only branch of the service which can be re-
duced without diminishing the revenue, and
the house did not leave appropriations enough
to continue it. ' '
William Cullen Bryant has written to an in-
quiriug friend that he would like to votcfor
Mr. Tilden, but thepolicy of the party Which
has taken him for their standard-bearer is such
that he cannot conscientiously do so. As things
stand at present, therefore, Mr. Bryant will
support the republican candidates and the re—
publican platform.

In shooting at 900 yards the Americans
shot away below their averagc,while the Irish _
Scotch and Australians beat the Americans.
Mitchell of the Scotch team made a score
all bull’s eyes save one shot, which is the
finest on record at 1,000 yards. -Weber and
Gildersleeve made the best scores of the
American team at 900 yards, each scoring
69. Bodinc made 57, but made a bull‘s eye
on the wrong target, creating a sensation and
interfering greatly with the American’s score.
Rathbornc also fell behind, while Fult0n only
made 64. The majority of the American
team seemed unfortunate, and'did not shoot
with the same precision as usual. At 900
yards the Australians did excellent work,
Sleep scoring 69 and King the same score.
The Canadians shot poorly, none except
Adams making over 67.
When the 1,000 yards shooting commen-
ced, the Australians, Scotch and Irish were
glad and claimed that this rangewas their
forte. At this range the American’s shooting
fell off while the Scotch appeared to improve
with every shot. They made Bull’s e c after
bull’s cye except Boyd and Frazer w 0 both
missed the target. Bodinc and Gildersleeve
also missed. The Irish shooting was, also
improved and they did better than .at' short
range. Milner scored seventy-one. The
manner 0f Scottish shooting at the close make
the prospects bright for them to-morrow.
The Irish prospects are also improved and
the match lies between these two. with the
Americans third. Bodinc, of the American
team, made seventy. These were all eclipsed
by Milner, of the Irish team, and Mitchell;
of the Scotch team, in. his great score of,
fourteen bull’s eyes at 1,000 yards. Bell of j
the Canadians, also did remarkably . well,
securing 71. King and Gee, of the .Austra.
lians, made 59. Mitchell’s wonderful ex-
ploit was loudly cheered. The shooting of
Americans caused Some disappointment.
The totals for the day were as follows :.
Scotch, 1,586 ;‘ Irish, 1,582 ; American, 1,577;
Australian, 1,545; Canadian, 1,490.
THIRD AND LAST DAY.
Cnnsnnonn, Sept. 14—To day was the sec-
0nd and decisive day of the great internation-
al rifle contest.
at the 800 yards range, the Americans being
about the last to get to work. The wind
steadily increased, and some of the teams
were shooting rather high. The Canadians
fired with great rapidity, the Scotch and Am-
ericans very slowly. After an hour’s firing
the wind suddenly changed, throwing many
out of their calculations and causing not afew.
poor shots and some misses. Fulton’s eighth
shot was disputed, but finally, after consider-
able delay, it was decided an inner. The
wind continued blowing stiflly, but despite
this drawback the Americans, Irish‘ and
Scotch continued to make good scores, the
best shots piling up strings of bull’s eyes at a
line rate. At the end of the shooting at 800
yards the AmeriCans and Scotch were equal,‘
each scoring 525; leaving the Scotch still 'nine‘
pOints ahead on yesterday’s score and the
Americans nineteen ahead of the Irish.
Scores at 800 yards:

yr 'run 900 nuns.
At the 900 yards the Americans made mag-
nificent scores, entirely falsifying the predic-
tions that a windy day would destroy . their
chances, for, as the wind. increased, their
shooting visibly improved. The first five
shots at this range scored them 180, giving;
a lead of 22 over all competitors. The Irish
also rapidly distanced the? Scotch, and took
second place, but their shooting was not-on a
par with that of the. home team, which at
this'and the 1,000-yard range did the finest
shooting of the match. The Australians
picked up wonderfully at this range.

Dear Sir—When about Six months old I was vac-

the same virus died from the humor. Thehumor
spread over me to such an extent thatI was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratching my person. >
The disease finally settled in my head. I remained
in‘this condition about twenty years, troubled all
the time With sores breaking in my head _and dis-
charging corruption from my car.. At this time a
sniahkern'el appeared on my neck, vraduallyjn-
creasing in size until a tumor formed of such im-
mense s ze I could seeit by turning my eyes down-
ward. All this time _I was taking various remedies
for my blood ,without any substauhal benefit.
I then went to a prominent physician in Boston,
who. durin his treatment of six months, lanced,
the tumor eight times, which cost me nearly 8400.
This left me with a rough,aggravatcd.sore,w1thout
at all diminishin the size of the tumor, and m a.
siekly,feeble con than. I consulted another phy-
sician in Nation, who. after considerable time, suc-
ceeded in healing the sore without reducm the
At this point I commenced to use see-
TINE, through t e earnest persuasion of afrrend.
Alter I had taken this medicine about one week
I experienced wnuderlul sensations.‘ My whole
bod seemed to be undergoin ' a radical change,
until the tumor broke and _lscharged frrghtrul
quantities. From this tune it decreased in size
until the bunch disa peered, but my neck still
bears the nglyscars o ' the sore audience. I am
‘now‘ healthy and strong and ahlc'to work every
