This line runs directly through the coal and oil regions of the jrreat keystone state. estern renn 8ylvania is a rugged country and gives fewer evidences ot improvement trom long settlement than many portions of Ohio and Indiana. Isut this of course is largely owing to the extremely rough and mountainous nature ot its surface. The tottering rail fences, old log hut and houses built of lwards set endwise are predomidant features of the domestic improvement of this region. There is an almost universal lack of solidity in all kinds of stuctures and consequently everything seems to have been confitructed for temporary purposes only. In the central and eastern portions of the state however there is more perma-

The railroad through this region is a masterpiece of engineering when we take into consideration the magnitude of the obstacles over come in its construction, in mauy places the road bed is cut out of an almost solid mountain of successive lay ers of limestone rock. Again it is winding up a deep valley side by side with a narrow stream of clear sparkling water and in another moment all U indistinct in the darkness ofa tunnel through some projecting mountain spur. ' Out of this it shoots across a deep valley or canon, and then is meandering around a curve in which the train, if long, is almost doubled up in passing. This is notably the case at Horse Shoe Bend near Altoona. This curve is in the shape of a capital U, and is almost a mile in length. You can imagine the shape of a long train in passing this bend. The knobs and the mountain spurs in this portion of Pensylvania are covered with a mixed growth of forest trees in which the cedar seems to predominate. I noticed one spur in particular where a great many cedar trees lay cut aown and trimmed, ready lor telegraph poles, There was much beautiful scenery visible all along the route until nightfall over took us.

Ob! What A Man! Cincinnati Entairer J Two sprightlv and beautiful young ladies have been visiting A fatly cousin living in the country' not far from Wooster. These three young misses are of that happy age which turns every thing into fun and merriment, and were constantly playing practical up n each other. All .three occupy a room on the ground floor, that which in country parlance is termed "the best room." The two visiting young ladies on a particular evening went to a party ia the neighborhood. About an hour after they left, the afore-said young minister called and c.ved a night's longing, which was, ol ccürse, granted, and as ministers always hav the best of every thing, the reverend was assigned to the "best room." The young lady who had not gone to the party was entrusttd .with the duty of sitting up for the absent ones and informing them of the change of tooms. She took up her post in the parlor, aed, as the night was sultry, sleep overtook her and she departed on aii excursion to the land of dreams. About half-past eleven o,clock tie sprightly cousias returned, and as it was late they concluded not to disturb the household, so they quietly stole into their room thronh a low open window. By the dim light f the moonbeams as they struggled through' the curtains the voung ladies were enabkd to descry the outlines of their cousin, as they supposed, in the middle of the bed. Thev saw also a pair of boots. The thought flashed across their minds their cousin had H-t the boots in their room to give them a gotd scare. They put their heads together an J decided to tarn the tables on her. Silently they ULsrobed, and positions on ignal side and the poor, bewildered minister such a promiscu ous hugging and trnisl ing as few persons cm boast of in a lifetime. The noia of the proceeding awakened the sleeping sentinel in the parlor and the sld lady, who was sleeping in an adjoining room, and they rushed to the scene, explaining the situation. There was one prolonged, (onsolidated scream, a dash of muslin through the door, olid all was over l tie est 01 the lotce was manne min i I, oil : anA wl,l lUtn I t no exene or apologv, but solemnly folded his official robes about him and silently stole awav.

We must assume that the Legislature means something by a Btatute. If the words.Slst of October, lsao, in the proviso is not a misprint, this proviso nullifies the first Dart of the section." 1 have caused tbe enrolled bill to be examined, but the "lso' of the proviso is not a miHprint. I can come to no other conclusion than that it is a mistake of the draftsman, and should be read "1S81 " i Believing that it was the Intent of theLejislature to inaugurate a change, 1 should advise you to act accordingly, and pay out and close up all nnon mnnnt atratnat thA artnrODrlatiOUS named in this act, and at tbe close of the business day of October 31, 1881, cover the unexpended balances into the general fund.

THE rRIEXI OF Hl'MAK RIGHTS AND AMERICA. FREEDOM. The surrender at Yorktowu, which constituted one of the most glorious pages of our history, has long famished a theme for the historian, and painter and the poet. Borne of the first pens and pencils have beeu brought to bear upon the eubjeet: but in whatever relation, pictorial or other wise. It has been brought before us, the name, Lafavette, stands forth in bold relief, and attracts attention beyond that of any other brave soul that could not then claim to be American by birth. The Marquis de Lafayette was born in 1757, and was one of the mo extraordinary and influential men of his time. He was, iu the fullest ecuse. a member of the French aristocracy, and a ceatieman of fortnne. Iiis percocity may be inferred from the fact that at the age of fourteen he displayed marked literary ability, and wrote with great fluency. When but sixteen he married, and three years afterward, moved by a love of liberty, on hearing of the strufrgle in which the American colonies was en paged, he resolved to leave wife, home and kindred, and draw his sword on the side of the oppressed. Here was a sacrifice at the shrine of human freedom! Young, noble, wealthy, the friend of Princes, and the beloved of an adored and beautiful wile, he separated himself from all. and the advantages pertaining to his rank, to share the dangers and the fate of the brave handful of half starved, half naked patriots, who dared to stand up for right in the face of one of the most powerful Nations in the world. His freedom of action in this relation, however, was embarrassed. Inasmuch as the King, who ob jected to his leaving Prance, ordered his arrest so M K pre veil i mm carrj inj; uui uis uuuie proji-cu Drevent mm carrying out ms noDie pi but here the French monarch was powerless, foi Mieuujcvi- mirtion,uuu, mun nuctuuta ship at his own expense, escapedto it in disguise.after untold privations, and after having once been recognized by a young girl who found him asleep on some straw, but who never once thought of betrayinz him. He had heard of the loss of New York and New Jersey to the Americans, but this only nerved to increase his desire to hasten to the relief of the latter. And so, although pursued by two French - cruisers, and menaced by the English men-of-war on the coast, he escaped all dangers and landed safely oa the Ehores of South Carolina. Here everything was novel and delightful to him, as he observed in a letter to his wife shortly after his arrival, and here he soon met Wash iugton, for whom he formed an iu staut and abiding friendship, so impressed was he witn the true nobility and commanding virtues of that great and mighty mam Wnen Lafayette first saw the poorly armed, ragged and half-fed forces of America ia line before him at Philadelphia, nothing ould exceed his surprise. But with a penetration beyond his years be perceived in this stern, self-sacrificing and dogged array all the elements of future success, and in this conviction often seemed to impart strength and hope to any who.-e spirits tended to droop beneath the weight of the reverses and great privations that pressed upon them. Washington also soon began to discover the true metal in the young Frenchman of nineteen, whose sword invariably leaped from its sheath at the word of command. Hence, when but twenty, he was made a Msjor-General. Lafayette's sufferings in our cause was severe, and his labors terrible. He was wounded at Brandywine and lay for six weeks at Bethlehem, when, although scarcely able to move, he wrote letters constantly to France imploring its states men to attack England in India ana the et indies. Before his woands were healed he rejoined the army. He performed in winter a journey on horseback of 400 miles to Albany; he commanded at Rhode Island : fought like a lion, and bore all the hardships and privations of war. After this he was seized with a violent fever, and seemed for weeks at the point of death. On his recovery he set sail for bu native land, from Boston, in 1780. . On returning to France, he was received with open arms by all the young nobles of Liberal views, while the King pardoned bim and sent him back to America with a promise of f hips, money, clothes and men. Once again he rejoined ia r k J w . tniotA V4n Vwavj-vxsI all I Äthtr n nnw mmmandpd in virsinia with I 8tüi and bravery against Coruwallis, aud witl niS lllufinous CUICI, pisuucu lue ihiuiibisii wmi; - resulted ia the taking of Yorktowu and tbe cloa of a long and painful war. After the surrender of Cornwallls, Lafayette re tnrned to France once more, when the Revolo tion, prompted by tbe ideas and the success of th Americans, begau to move in its tortuous grooves. He was now the favor te of the people, and wa all powerful ia the land, but in the shadow of ht rath creDt the Marats.

He was overpowered and con strained to fly from i ranee and shelter on foreign sou; but instead shelter. in a friendly sense, be r-.nnd himself immured within the gloom t wall of Olmutz, where he remained for five years. For more tkan half that period he was cut off from all communication with the world; and could not even learn whether his wife and children were still alive. At length his wife, who had barely escaped from the guillotine, joined him with her two daughters, and shared his imprisonment their soa having been sent to America to the care of Washington. Nor was it until the armies of France under Napolean began to shake Europe that they were released.1- ' He now became a ieaaer in every move peruunJ I on hearing of the death of Washington he WDI DllKrii: DU IU liMi iref wept bitterly; and in 1824 25 after an absence of fnrtv rears, he cjraln visited America, but this time with his son. Ills reception was magnificent beyond measure the graUtuSeof a generous Nature permeating it through and through. He visited once more all the old historic places, and met many of his comrades in arms, with such lnter.se emotion that it would be almost profanation to attempt to put it in words. Oa his return to Trance he stlU stood firm in the principles he had espoused and fought for: but the time of his departure was drawing nigh; for he breathed his last, In hope and in peace, at La Grange, in 1831, leaving behind him a character tnr ail that was noble. self -sacri ficing, courageous and Jnst. His chateau at this place has been the hrine of many an American Dilimm. and it is still filled with reminiscences of the land he loved and aided so well. He left one son, George Washington, and two daughters. Edmund Lafayette, who will visit America this fall, is the son of that son, anc the last of his name.

Tbe Court, in granting a postponement to November 14, and no longer, said if this were an ordinary case of voluntary arrangement of counsel to enter into the case, he .should . say tbe case should not be subordinated to other engagements, but it was a" consideration not to be disregarded that the order of the Court had taken counsel from tbe performance of other engagements. Judge Lawrence. First Comptroller of the Treasury, has. decided that witnesses for Guiteau living more than 100 miles outside tbe District of Columbia are beyond the jurisdiction of the Court and can not be mid by the Government; inside that radius their expenses can be paid. . District Attorney Corkhill has received a telegram from Judge Porter, of New York, stating that he will assist the Government counsel in tbe prosecution of Guiteau. A CHICAGO LAWTIB TO ASSIST IK THS DEFEK6E. ' IBy Telegraph to the New York Herald. Washington, D. C, Oct. 24. Mr. Scoville. counsel for Guiteau. is very busy just now in replying to letters ana selecting what witnesses he shall have summoned for the defense. There is no lack of witnesses, but the trouble is to ascertain what each one knows relevant to the issues involved. LETTER FROM A CHICAGO LAWYER, To-night Mr. Scoville received the following letter: "i - . Chicago, 111, Oct 22, 1881. George Scoville. Esq., Washington. D. C: Dear Bik Yonr letter of October 17. 1881. waa handed me by your son Louis, and in reply thereto would say that to your request that I appear as counsel for Charles Guiteau and take "principal charge of the case" I answer that 1 will, provided I can make arrangements with counsel on the opposite side in some libel raits. I am counsel for the Chicago Times and Chicago Tribune, both of which papers have cases on the calendars of the Superior and Circuit Courts, wherein the plaintiffs, as is usual in such cases, not only want large damages but "vindication." and are somewhat disinclined to grant any courtesy to opposing counsel. But I think I will be able to continue tbe cases notwithstanding and assist in the trial of Charles Guiteau. a lawtkVs duty. There are a number of nondescript lawyers who have caused it to be said in the public prints that they bae been applied to and declined appearing as counsel for Guiteau. To such 1 have through the - Bine medium replied thut they have declined before they were asked, and took this opportunity of acquiring notoriety and asserting the ownership ot a virtue which the law, tpoken through the lips of tbe great Choate, p roc .alms an infamy. See 1 Bishop, fourth edition, page 470, note 12, which concludes as follows: "Every accused person has the right to have all proper defences made for Mm. and the lawyer who refuses to make a proper defence on the ground that he will thereby incur public obloquy violates a rule of honor and the high behest of duty which ought to sink him into everlasting in tamy." And see Criminal Proceedings, volume 2, Bishop. Sections 1,001 and 1,002. PRKCIDI5T8 CITID. Thinking, Mr.' Scoville, that by citing a few cases upon the subject ander consideration I may aid you somewhat I call your attention to tne authorities used by myself in the VUlinger and Tansey cases, both of whom killed their victims under the belief that they were obeying a Divine decree, and both were acquitted, because it ap peared that, . while they were sane upon other subjects, the miud was diseased in tkls regard. A like result was had in the case of James H adfield, in the Court ci King's Bench, on the 2Cth of April, 1300, wherein It apreared that Hadfield had shot at the King while acting, as he belleved. under the Omnipotent command. Tbe case is fully - set out. ' and the forcible reasoning and tho elegantly scientific deductions ' of counsel appear in tbe fourth volume of Ersklne'a Speeches, page 116, together with a full review of former decisions rendered in cases wherein defendants were charged with murder or treason and. the defense interposed hat of insanity. As vou must be afflicted with the reception of numberless letters ia which are constant suggestions and citations of authorities, I will be brief and call your attention to the reasoning of the Court and arguments of counsel in the case of Oxford, who was charged with snooting Queen Victoria; the cases of tfcfarlane and of Sickles. The latter was tried probably in the tame court room In which Guiteaa wUl be tried. Let me hear from you in reply. . I am yours courteously, A. 8, Tecde. . Mr. Trude is a well-known lawyer, who has practiced in Chicago twelve or fifteen years, t or several years he has given attention especially to criminal law. Though a young man, he is a hard worker, and one whose tenacity in maitalning his position in a lawsuit is such as to forbid intimidation, and causes him to execute whatever he un d.rtalr Ur, Renville reards his beine in this case w one ot imrwrUnce, and with Mr. Robinson, of Washington, expects to master the subject matter and be ready for one of the most remarkable trials known in the annals of criminal jurisprudence. Charles Clay and John Burrows entered the banking bouse of Dr. Wesley Park, at Field on, 111., last Wednesday in open daylight, and, with drawn revolvers, compelled the Doctor to rive them the contents of his sate, $3,500. As they mounted. Dr. Park kUled horse under one, when both robbers rode off on a single animal.

The Cambridgeshire stakes to-day were won Fox hall. Time 2:15. Crowds thronged tbe course to-day. During the hoisting of the numbers, which showed thirtv-two runners, there was a sharp shower, but before the Unrt the sun shone brightly. Great annoyance was felt by Americans at not seeing Foxhall and Mistake saddled on the paddock. A majority, including Foxhall and Mistake, had the finishing touch at the starting post early in the morning. Mistake was backed in a spirited manner at $3.1 to $1, while FoxhaU maintained bis position. A large amount went on Keen and Champion. The track was very heavy. There was some delav in starting. Sportsman and Peter showing much temper. The field eventually got away on pretty good terms, and for the moment presenting a beautnui line oi color. Shinglass and Eminence were first to break the line, and they made a joint running with Knight Athol, Lucy Glitters, Montrose and Prometheus. For immediate attendants, well up with these, were the Corrie Filly, Muriel, Scobell, Falkirk and Incendiary. Then came Petrouell, PrestonEaui, Ben D'Or, Pilaruruon. the remainder eingwell together for three furlongs, when Shinglass and Eminence dropped back and Lucy Glitters assumed the lead. She was succeeded by Tristan. JPirseus, Incendiary, Ponlet, Philammon, Prometheus and Foxhall. The last mentioned had worfced away from the ruck and was lying handy with the lot named. At the red post he had drawn up to Lucy Glitters, who headed him by only a half length, the pair running very w ide of each other, Foxhall being on the top ground. Tristan and Poulet were alone, showing prominent in the center of the course. The race was now confined almost to these four, for they were a long way clear of Incendiary and Tineus, who shortly afterward showed distress. When half way up the hill Foxhall made a grand spurt, and quickly getting on terms with Lucy Glitters, won cleverly by a head, Tristan, running on to the end, being beaten by a neck for second place. AS IKTERVIEW WITH KEEXE. New York, Oct. 25.--Jarae3 It. Keene owner of Foxhall, was warmly congratul lated on his victory. Asked if it was un expected, Keene replied, "Well, I should say not, as I backed him very heavily to win the race. He is the grandest horse in the world to win. carrying the immense penalty he did, on account of his former victories. The great lieu D'Or, unplaced at even weights, and Lucy Glitters, who has proved herself a good racer and carrying only ninety-one pounds, were beaten by my horse. He was ridden by a third-rate jockey, so our English friends can hardly credit the victory to great experience or the ability of the rider." "What is your opinion of the colt now?" "That he is the greatest horse in the world, and I would not fear to start him-against anything on four legs. His winning the Cambridgeshire to-day, and thus making the most remarkable "double victory," having previously landed the Czarowitch, is the most marvelous performance ever accomplished." "How about the rumors of a match between Iroquois and your colt?" "I would rather not express myself on that point, but my opinion of Foxhall you know. If he retains form, 1 don't think any living horse can out foot or out stay him." Walton, of St James Hotel, this city, now in England, won $100,000. Scarcity of Water. New York, Oct. 27. The alarm caused by the scarcity of water increases. Commissioner Thompson, of the Public. Works, says the supply in the reservoirs will not hold out longer than seventeen days unless replenished by rain. The main pipes are kept filled to insure ample supply for fire purposes. To maintain this supply ar J at the same time furnish manufacturers with the water needed to continue work, the people are compelled to abandon baths. Weils, forgotten since the introduction of Croton water, are being cleaned out for use. The present drouth is unprecedented. It is said that the private fortune of Queen Victoria amounts to fSO.OOO.OOO, and she possesses an annual income of $3,250,000. Before her birth her parents were so poor that they had to borrow the money to pay their passage to England, that the exacted Princess might be born on British soil, and she remained in comparative poverty until she ascended the throne.
