In certain portions of the counties of Juzerne, Schuylkill, Carbon, Kack - awanna, Susquehlanna, Northumber land and Columbia, tumults and riots frequently occur and mob law reigns, men who desire to work have been beaten and driven away, and their families threatened. Railroad trains have been dolaye-l, stoned and the tracks torn up. The eivil authorities are unable to maintain . order and have called upon the gov ernor and commander -in-chief of the National Guard troops. The situa tion grows jnore serious each day. The territory involved is so extensive that the troops now on duty are in sufficient to prevent all disorder. The prese' ce of the entire division Na. tional Guard of Pennsylvania is nec essary in these counties to maintain the public peace. The major general commanding will place the entire division on duty, distributing them in such localities as will render them most effective for preserving the public peace.

The retort is of all verbal coins-the quickest to get into circulation and the readiest to pass from one hand to another. Perhaps of all coins it is also the oldest. In our English tongue we have legends of the re partee of king and courtier for well nigh a thonsand years. The pun, which is often a stpecies of retort, goes as far back as our language. To pla) on words, often in a very per sonal manner, is the simplest form of retort. Old Thomas Fuller made a witty as well as a true epitaph for himself when he. bade them write on his tombstone two words only, "Ful. ler's Earth." But Fuller himself got caught sometimes. The name, "Spar rowhawk," in which one of his friends rejoiced, was too tempting to the habitual punster, and so he asked the unfortunate man who was afflicted with it what was the differ Dnce between a sparrowhawk and an owl. The answer which he got was: "An owl is fuller in the head, and fuller in the face, and fuller all over," which was probably more fuller than Fuller bargained for. Dunning, the famous wit and lawyer, was badgering a witness on one occasion, and persisted in asking him if he did not live "in the verge sf the court." He was probably a poor debtor, who in the then condi ron of the English law did this to mvoid his creditors. The witness was Forced to admit that he did. "And, pray, sir," said Dunning, "for what reason did you take up your resi ience in that place?" "To avoid the rascally impertinence of dunning," answered the witness. The perplexities of our English tongue gave a chance for a fusillade of retorts in a western court. The judge was fond of indulging himself occasionally in a joke.at the 3xpense of Counsellor B., a practis ing lawyer in the -same court, with whom he was very intimate, and for whom he had a high regard. On a -ertain occasion when pleading a ,ase at the bar Mr. B. observed that he.would conclude - his remarks on the following -day unless the court would consent to "set" late enough for him to finish them that evening. "Sit, sir," said the judge, not set, hens set." "I stand corrected, sir," iaid the counsellor, bowing. Not ong after, while giving an opinion the judge remarked that under such and such circumstances, an action would not "lay." "Lie, may it please your Honor," says the counsellor, "not. lay ; hens lay." One of the keenest of journalists ird wits, Moritz Gotein Saphir, had he better of the irate stranger gainst whom he ran by accident, at he corner of a street in Munieb. 'Beast," cried the offended person, without waiting for an apology. "Thank you," said the journalist, "and mine is Saphir." The battle of words is as exhilarat ug as it is harmless when the com >)atants keep alike their brightness izd their temper. In the remmnis 3enICes of Sir Barrington Beaumont te describes a dinner party at Elorace Wal pole's. Oharles James ["ox was one of the guests, and at hie last moment Obarles Selwyn, the readiest of wits, whose strange weak Jess was attending executions, itrolled in, evidently in the best of ipirit. "George looks as cheerful as 'hough hie had just comle from an 3xecution," remarked Horace Wal. p)ole; and Fox said, smuilingly: "A namesake of mine was to be aanged at Tyburn today. I suppose you were in at the dleath, Selwyn ?" "No, my friend," said Selwyn. 'I make a point of never frequenting rehearsals." This turned the smile igainst Fox. A retort which hit as hard as this was made upon a would be poet at bis club. "I," said he. "have writ. ten a great number of pr>ems, but I Jo not propose to have them pub.. lished until after my (leath."

Schwr.b's magnificent residence, to be erected on a $1,000,000 block on Riverside drive, between Seventy -third and Seventy fourth street:, have been filed with the bureau of buildings. They have not yet, been approved, but doubtless will be within a few days. Work on the excavations for what will probably be the handsomest pri vate house in America has already been begun, and it is hoped to have the building ready for occupancy, so that its owner can have a housewarm ing a year from next Christmas. Al ready the steel for girders and frame work is on its way here from Pitts burg, and the contract for the granite has been let.. Bids for the founda tion work will be asked for within a few days. According to the estimate filed wvith th)e bureau of buildings the honse w:ll cost $000,000, but this is merely for the walls and does not in. elude the interior finishings and dec orations, which will bring the total cost up to more than $2,000,000. Standing in the centre of the block, the house will have a frontage of 90 feet, with 100 feet in the rea- and a depth of 107 feet, besides an exten sion 33 feet wide and 45 feet deep. The main building will be six stories high, with an elevation~ of 85 feet, and the extension is to be three sto ries, wit.h a height of 48 feet. Most striking of the interior ar rangements wvill be the main hall which is' to be t wo and a half stories high and surrounded by a circular gallery and arcade leading to all the principal rooms of the second floor and to a chapel, in which there will be an organ and( stained-glass win dows that can he seen fromi the en trance hall.

Conlfer ea Somo of the Rohbriles. Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 4.-Sensa tional developments came to light this afternoon in tLe investigation of wholesale grave robberies that have occurred in this vicinity during the last few months, when detectives tin. earthed ten bodies in the cellar of the Medical College of Indiana. A gang of of ten negroes was arrested several days ago charged with the ghoulish work, and their leaders, Rufus cantrell, since his arrest has confessed to many cf the robberies and informed the authorities that other gangs have been operating in cemeteries in this and adjoining counties, and that many of the rob beries accredited to his following really have been committed by others. People who have buried relatives recently in variouis cemeteries are greatly excited and since the de. velopments of the last fews days many graves have been re-opened to see if t he caskets have been tami pored with. Investigation in several of these cases has revealed emp)ty cask' ets. Every medical college in this city has b)eenl thoroughly searched for the stolen bodies, but to no avail. Six bodies were found in a picking vat at the Medical College of Iniana, the officials of this institution prov ing they had 'been lawfully obtained and asserting that there wvere nio other bodies about the buildings. Detectives went t.o the college today with a search warrant for the body of Wallace Johnson, which had been stolen from a grave in the Ebenezer cemetery, northeast of thn city. The college oilicials were reluictanit to allow them t.o make t he search. The detectives, ho vever, irntituted a rigid search of tbe building, and as ai last resort raised the floor in the4 cellar. They soon uncovered the remains of ten bodies. An attempt had been made to destroy the remains with lime. The college officials are very indignant at. t he latest phase ini the inistitultioni andu claim the bodies un. earthed today tire those of subjects dissected by t.he stutsti of last year; that somne of them are cadavers which were in lhe (dissectinig room when the b)uildinmg was burned sev. eral years ago.

A IHeiautiful %t-tlon to H11m who Gtveth his liulovedt HI+(p. [lrom the Charlotte Observer.] In these days when one so often sees in sleeping roomo, beautifully printed and framed, Robert Louis Steven-. son's prayer, or an exquisite senti ment on true living from Henry Van Dyke, or a restful poen like that which hangs on the wall of one of the rooms of Mr. Andrew Carnegie's castle in Scotland, (and in many humbler holdes in America) I take the liberty of sending you what I suppose may te appropriately called Sir Thomas Browne's lPrayer. Al. though written over two hundred years ago, I do not recall ever having seen it in any collection of poetry. I find it in one of his short essays called "Of Life." Concluding a para graph on sleep he introduces the prayer in the following words: "In line, so like death, I da.re not trust it without my prayers, and a half adieu unto the wvorld, and take my farewell in a colloquy with God:" The night is coms like to the day; IDepart not Thou, great God away, ILet not my sins, black as the night, Eclipse the lustre of Thy light. Keep still in my horizon; for to me The sun makes not the (lay, but Thee. TIhou whose nature cannot sleep, *On my temp)les sentry keep; Guard me 'gainst those watchful foes Whose eyes are loen wvhile mine close, Let no dIreams my head infest, But such as Jacob's temples blest. While I do rest, my soul advance; Make my sleep a holy trance; That I may, my rest being wrought, Awake into some holy thought, And with as active vigor run, My course as doth the nimbler sun, Sleep is death-Oh! make me try, By sleeping, what it is to die! And as gently lay my head On my grave, as on my bed(. Hlowe'er I rest, great God, let me Awake again at last with TIhee. And thus assured, behold I lie Securely, or to wake or (lie. These are my (drowsy (days; in vain I (10 now wake to sleep again; Oh, come that hour when I shall never Sloop again, but wake forever. If anything conldl be addeod to the serene faith expressed in the prayer itself it is his own gnaint wo'rds at the end( of it. "This is the dor itive I takn to bed ward; I need no ot her Iaudanuum thanm this to maket me sleop, afteir which I close mine eyes ini sCurity, content to take moy leave of th 1n un and~ sleep unto tIhe resurret ion."~ D)o you wish to see the p)rogress he farmers of the Statoe are maiking in dliversiflied and( inltensifiedl egri cu'lture?I If so, visit the Stato Fair, Oct. 28th to Blst.

Now that Mr. Morgan and his teso eiates have been angered by the Presi dent's avowed hostility to trusts 'and are disposed to resent his temerity and irreverence toward those sacred organizations by defeating his nomi. nation, and, failing in that, his elec tion at the polls, we shall probably have about as interesting a campaign as has been witnessed for something more than half a century. If the President is as "strenuous" and ear nest as he is reputed to be, the con. test will not. be unlike a genuine cow boy affair in the West.. In many re spects it will resemble that. memora. ble conflict between Andrew Jackson and the United States 3aik, and we shall be able to compare tho hero of New Orleans wit h the hero claimant of .San Juan. Like Jackson Mr. Roo-evelt opens his attack on the trusts during his first terme. Though the charter of the Urited States Bank would not "xpire for six years, in his first. mes a ige to Congress Jackson fired his opening shot, well aware that time would be required to rally the peo ple to his standard and counteract the advantage which such an institu tion would have, in a sudden colli sion, with all its money and its me nials at hand. "Both the constitu tionality and expediency of t he law creating this bank," said he, "are well questioned by a large portion of our follow citizens, and it must he admitted by all that it has failed in the great end of establishing a uni form and sound currency." From that moment the war was prosecuted with the bitterest rancor and most relentless vigor. The stock of the bank fell from 123 to 116. Its officers, with Biddle, the president, at the head, realizing the desperate character of the conflict, organized a powerful lobby with headquarters in Washington City. They sum moned all their resources. They did not hesitate or haggle over the price of votes in Congress. They subsid ized newspapars in every part of the country. The friends of the admin istrat,ion in Congress succeeded in securing commit tees of investigation, but they could not prevent the lobby from packing and controlling thorn. A report was made favorable to the bank, and as a result its stock rose to 130. It looked as if the con queror of the British was beaten by a baink. His foes seemed to over- whelm him. Suborned speakers arid news palpers vilified himi basely aind cruel. ly. There were secret traitors in his owni ranks who had been, corrupt. ed, aind his frail figure seemed about to 1be crnshed 1)y the most powerful financial inst itutiona of the We tsterni Hemi sphere.. Perhaps nouthmitg in the history of that remarkable man illustrates the unflinching firmness of hia character or the heroic~ courage of his daunt less soul than his condnet dnring that trying period of his life. (Olay, Webete(r, anid l: er- Calhoun were fight ing hint in .he Senate, all in flamted by the sting of dlisap1pointed amtbi tioni andi gEnad ed by the rowel of thle bitterest persotnal hatred. But never did he flinch under the terri bleu diatribes which spared1 neither ht is private nor public life. The o1(d sjinat rose wit-hin him. Tihe old fire bI)tzedl in ani eye int which Tiom Mar shall said be could still see twenity uinfought bitt les The 01(d fury shook his frame, emiaciated and en feebled by disease, butt which again displayed its dreadful energy. As ont former occasions, the fuiry of corn bat, the rage of batlte st rengt hened his weakened limbs and added a now flame to his flagging spirit. He was ino longer an invalid. There was spring in his stop; an imperial and martial tmanner-al most the flush of restored youth in his cheek. He had always fought the entemies of his couinttry; lhe would fight them still, whet her they appeared in scarlet coat or as the mnintionts of a monetary aind de'gradinag desplotismu. He sumImoned Blair from Franik fort to establish the Congressiontal Globe. To Amos Kendall lhe wouhld dic'ate its editorials, walking the floor, pufiing his pipe th..t glowe like a furnace; and next day his fiery thoughts would appear bedecked in Kendall's gractul and brilliant style. He, too, would have his organs.: He would draw the line between his friends and hiti foes; and, during his first. term, he made over 700 remov ale from office, not including clerks, though there had been but sixty re movals during the preceditig" forty years. There was not one foot of middle ground, and no spot of refuge for traitors or skulkers. Theee he could detect almost at any glance. It would be interesting to see some of the tricky and cowardly politi cians of the present day writhing under the fierce glance of that piero. ing searchlight.---Audrew Jackson's eye. The next session he renwed his recommendttiou ugainst a recharter of the hack in struoger terms, but on test questions lie was again beaten in Congress. 'The charter was re newed; he vet.ed it, and the bank could not sec'i rn (he necessat y two thirds vote. liildle proposed a com promise, but it was rejected with disdain. After his second election he continued the war. He deter mined to withdraw the govornment deposits from the bank. But his cabinet was divided on the question. It was difficult to find a secretary of the treasury who would execute his orders. A committee of investiga tion reported that the bank was sound and t he deposits safe. Four out of six members of his cabinet opposed removal because "the busi neHs interests of the country" would be imperiled. McLane had resinged the scrctaryship of the treasury; Duane, on whom Jackson thought he could rely, was appointed. But he took the same view and resigned. Jackson persisted. "I have no con tidence in Oongress," said he; "if the bank is permitted to have the public money, there is no power to prevent it from obtaining a charter; it will have it if it has to buy up all Uongreee, and the public funds will enable it to do it." Taney was appointed, ordered the removal and the bauk expired be fore its charter There wa.4 a panic resulting from such an industrial revolution, of course; but, like most revolutions, it (lid good. It proved a warning to the country that enor mous monetary power should not be interferred on any institution. Now, is Mr. Roosevelt, with all his "strennousn1ess," prepared to go the Jacksonian gait P The money power today is far stronger than it was then,. It has twenty-five members of the Senate worth from two to t wenty live millions of dollars each. It has others who covet ricbes above all things. It hus a large faction, if not a majority, in the House. When (Col. Roosevelt andl Col.
