PENN, THE QUAKER. Tbe Bi-Centennial of His Landing Celebrated at Philadelphia. The Exercises Witnessed by Over 500,000 People. Th*, bi-centcnnial of the landing of William Penn ,ln Pennsylvania was celebrated by the people of Philadelphia in an Imposing manner, th? festivities running through nearly an ent’re week, and being witnessed by hundreds of thousands of strangers from abroad. The ceremonies opened at Chester, a suburb of the Quaker City, on Sunday, Oct 22, when the Society of Quakers assembled in large numbers. A letter from John G. W hittier was read, inclosing a poem which he wrote sixty years ago. Addresses were delivered by A fred H. Lane, President of the Pennsylvania Peace Society, and John M. Broomall, of Medina, Ohio. On Monday, at 2:80 there was a representation, at Chester, of the landing of William Penn and his party, which was witnessed by 2 0,0(0 people. THe landing was made at the exact, spot where, 200 vears before, the great Quaker first nut his foot upon American soil. Thousands of human throats, numerous church bePs, and an aggregation of steam whistles, greeted his advent, and the enthusiasm was unbounded. Later a monster meeting was held, at which 2,C00 children sang “My Country. 'Tis of Thee,” and speeches were delivered by Gov. Hoyt and John M. Broomall, who sketched Penn’s career in a masterly hand. A great parade tri the afternoon and a brilliant display of fireworks in the evening brought the day’s celebration to a close. On Tuesday, the 24th, the festivities opened in Philadelphia, and lasted until Friday evening. First came the landing of Penn, which was witnessed by a vast thr. ng estimated at over 5 )O,OJO people. A dispatch from that city says: “As early as midnight last night people began to take available space in the neighborhood, and hundreds remained out all night so as to be on hand. This morning when the sun broke through the ra n thieatening clouds the streets were blocked for several squares. Bo dense was the throng that men and women were trampled on and nearly crushed to death, and a dozen or more people were pushed off the dock, in the Delaware and got a thorough ducking. All of them were re cued, however. While the dense mass awaited the landing the river pre ented a beautiful appearance. Every btnp for miles along the river front was decked out in holiday attire. Tugs and steamers darted about, loaded down to the water’s edge They met the Welcome several miles below the city, and the procession of tugs and steamers up to the wharf made a striking and pretty picture. As the procession came in sight the United States men-of-war belched forth a welcome, and scores of whistles added to the clamor. The Welcome drew up to the wharf, and Penn and his pan yof Dutch and Quakers, in ancient costumes, stepped ashore. They shook hands with more Dutch and Quakers and then the little procession fought us way through the crowd to the historical Blue Anchor Inn, and was subsequent y escorted to Broad street and given a place in the great procession which started at 11:30 and h - d tie streets for nearly five hours. The procession moved from Broad to Chestnut, to Third, up Third to Market, out Market to Broad and out Broad to Columbia avenue, where it was d smis-ed. Never was such a seen 1 witnessed. For five hours horse cars were blocked, and all streets ex -ept those along the line of march were deserted. The column moved along Chestnut between two high walls of bunting and gay flags, wh le windows and roof-tops and stagings were fill *d Thousands of peop c poure 1 into the city from all over the State, and all along the route they were packed 1 ke sardines in a box. It is estimated t at 503,000 people from outside the city limits witnessed t ie parade, in which 25,003 men took part Today was the civic patade, and, with the ; xeeption of the marines, no troops took part. 1 he police and firemen and letter-carriers weie followed by officials in carriages, 3,5 0 members of the Improved Order of Bed Men, hosts of firemen from other c ties, with their machines, 1,20 butchers mounted and in wagons, and the Total Abstinence and other societies. The head of the process or was dismissed long before the tail end had begun to move. It was a sight worth witnessing.” In the evening there were fireworks and pyrotechnic displays of a brilliant character. On Wednesday, the 25th, there was a disp ay of the trades of Philadelphia and surrounding cities—all the largest machim shops, factories, etc., accompanied by wag ons, on which was exemplified the working! of the various trades. Thursday, the 20th w’itnes cd a musical representat’on of th< Welsh singers in West Philadelphia The German singers and fraternities of various nationalities appeared with appropriate emblems. The Knights Templar turned out 10,0(X» strong. In the afternoon the school children to the number of 3,000 to 4,000 a}»~ peared. Friday, the 27th, was m&rked by a grand army and navy parade with the National Guard of Pennsylvania and New Jerwy, and visiting troops irom the neighboring States to the number of 12,000 men.

It will doubtless be practicable lor us to | reduce rifled guns of a moderate power, even from cast-iron, provided the cast iron be suitably strengthened wiih steel hoops, or, better, with hoops on the exterior and steel tubes on the Interior.” Gen. Benet also says it is believed that, with Hier encouragement, field guns can be e here without the necessity of going abroad for the steel. Recommendation is made that the immediate publication of tbe results of tests of iron and steel and other materials for industrial purposes be authorized by Congress In the chapter on the : militia,' tbe Chief of Ordnance says: “ Our outstanding army is a small one. I For the defense of tbe country our main dependence is on our militia. The midtia ■ should, therefore, lie kept in the best condition possible for actual service.

It is a fact of some consequence to d< alers in certain goods that the chew-ing-gum season begins with school. 1 There is some demand during the sum- ' mer, but boys and girls generally have other means of diversion and recreation; i but when the school-room door opens 1 and the year’s toil begins there is some- ' thing necessary in study hours. Taffy and other candies leave marks on fingers and faces, but the hardy gum can be laid away snugly in the corner of the desk, mouth or pocket, and reproduced . whenever the pedagogue has his back - turned. Very little pure spruce gum is in the , market. Packages are received that look like pure gum at first sight, but the lumps are supposed to be formed by the fingers after a little gum, resin 1 and other things have been added. If a dealer is in doubt about the genuineness of this sprttce gum, he applies to a Canadian, who cai tell at once. It - must not be inferred from this that the ; regular diet of the Canadian is spruce i gum. No; he gets something more on i holidays occasionally. The amount of chewing gum manufactured is enormous. There is a factory in this city. The gum sold by confectioners is chiefly paraffine wax. ' Spruce gum is 50 cents a pound for the j best in Maine, hence the use of cheaper 1 things gives profit. The gum-makers follow the toy seasons in the form of ; chewing-gum—that is to say, when tops are the toys gum is in the shape of tops, at other seasons other forms attract pennies. Chewing-gum may seem insignificant as a trade commodity, but it . is not. There are large houses in tbe r country engiged solely in the prep.ira- - ti< n of chewing gum.—l’/ot’idenee j Journal. A Candidate for the Penitentiary. r "Where were you last Jun®? Where t yon not in Austin ?” asked an Austin of- ' ficial of a vagrant, whom he suspected 1 of being a noted criminal for whom a reward was offered, and which reward ' I he wished to collect. 5 “I can’t remember to save my life. I i had a different name last June from the one I have got now, so I can’t tell ' whether I was in Austin or not. This ' being in so many places, and having so 1 many different names, confuses the best > of us.” “Well,” said the official, “you will get 'l over all that after a while, if your are t not careful.” i’ “How so?” “You will have to stay in one place, and instead of having three or four names, you will not have any name at all. You will go by a number.” Taras if tin gs. Near Helier City, Wasatch county, Utah, recently, Thomas Davis killed his . ! son, a youth of 21. The boy Davis had t decided to leave his home.

The greatest wonder in the State of lowa, and perhaps any other State, is what is called the “Walled Lake," in Wright county, twelve miles north of the Dubuque and Pacific railway and 150 miles west of Dubuque City The lake is from two to three feet higher than the earth’s surface. In some places the wall is 10 feet high, 15 feet wide at the Imttoni and 5 le t on t':e top. Another fact is the size of the ' stones used in construction, t ie whole ‘ of them varying in weight from three ' tons down to 100 pounds. There is an J abundance of stone in Wright eonntr. ‘ but surrounding the lake to the <\t : t of five or ten miles there are ::o.ie.
