Tin country is waiting anxiously

for that immense bomb which thePotter Committee promised eoon to

explode. Pity if it should be a lizzie.

Bradford, McKean county, thisSlate, has shot up like a rocket A

year ago it was an idle village of

50 people, but now its 10,000 are

projecting an opera house, churches,high ecbool building and Cne resi-

dences. Stores rent at from $1,500

f 1.S00 upon its business 6treets, and

building lots bring fancy prices. Itswells are 6afe and profitable, yieldingfrom 12,000 to 20,000 barrels a day.and a railroad is now in process ofconstruction which Bradford relies

on to make it the greatest centre in

the whole oil region.

The estate of Pr. J. C. Aver, ofLowell, Mass , w hose death has beenlately announced, is said to bo worthover fifteen million dollars. Thismoney was mainly made by vendingpatent medicines, and the vast amountof it represents an equivalent of pur-

gation Burh as no other citizen ofMassachusetts will be credited within this world or the next We donot remember ever to have heard orread of a medicine man so prosperous.Pr. Ayer was a believer in the virtues ol printer's ink. lie advertisedbis nostrums the world over. Hencehis millions.

The Labor party carried LuzerneCounty last year, and ns a conse-

quence elected W. II Stanton, itscandidate for Judge. Having secur-

ed the position, Stanton, who was,aud is, a wool-dye- d Pemocrat likethe sow that returned to her wallow-

ing, is now attempting to transferthe labor rote to the Pemocraticparty. He, who claims to be a leaderof the labor party, and lives in aregion where tens of thousands oflaboring men hare been thrown outemployment by the destruction ofbusiness, in faca of the fact that thePemocrats in the last Congress pro-

posed to reduce the tariff and openthe ports c.f this country to the manu-

factures of Great Britain aad Belgium,which would have been certain deathto the coal and iron interests of thisState, coolly advises the labor partyof LoEerne County and of the countryto vote the Pemoiratic party intopower, and actually asks it to aban-

don its own ticket and support thatof the Pemocratic party fir Stateoffices. The bistery of the countryis full of just snch incidents, w herethe laboring men have been deludedinto joining "independent" politicalorganizations, only to Cad them-

selves sold out and cheated byPemocratic demagogues who haveused them ia the interests of their'own party. This trick of Stanton'sis an old one. the object being toseduce the Pemocratic portion of the

party from the support of their Stateticket, leaving the Republican por-

tion to do that kind of voting, andthereby secure the State to the Pem-ocrac- y,

the old Congressionaldelegation, and in that event pass

the Wood tariff at the next session,which every intelligent laboring man

in the State ought to know, would

almost ruin otir Lome manufacturers,

and compel them to Bospcnd opera

tion unless wages are reduced touch a low point as to enable tLcm

to compete with the cheap labor oi

foreign countries. Undoubtedly theobject of Stanton and other Pemo-

cratic demagogues is to cheat the

Republicans who have Joined thisorganization, and they a? eano men

'the seme Randall who spoke in Phil-adelphia on Monday night TheNew YorK person spoke cf the free-

dom of individual enterprise and ofthe folly of laws intended to tbackleindustry for the special benefit of afavored few. The Philadelphia per-

son said "he always set down a manwho talked to hira cf free trade asbeing either ignorant or a deceiver."

It is to be hoped that the ManhattanClub h3 not been imposed upon.Such sentiments as arc ascribed toMr. Randall in New York he is nev-

er known to u;ter in Philadelphia.Here he is esteemed an excellent sortof protectionist, worthy to fit at thefeet of Carey and at the side of Kcl-lc- v.

When" a couple years ticco, Singer,the sewing machine man died, it wasdiscovered that he left no less than5vc wives and twenty-Sv- c children, asclaimants to his immense estate.Instead of squandering the money iafruitless litigation, the various wo-

men who supposed they were bis

wives, have appaiently been well ad-

vised, and the matter has beenamicably adjusted and the estatedivided among his victims and theirchildren.

The Chicago IrJcr-O-va- ii an-

nounces the result as follows :

All contests against the will ofIsaac M. Singer in this country havebeen disposed of, all claims againstthe estate have been settled, andmore than $9,300,000 distributed tothe twenty-fiv- e persons named in thewill. This has been accomplishedwithin two years, aad the survivingexecutor has gone to England tosettle up the estate of $3,000,000 inthat country.

It will be remembered that fivewomen called Mr. Singer hut-ban-

and twenty-fiv- e children called himfather. The will divided the proper-ty in America, valued at about$9,000,000, into sixty portions, theseincluding bequests to all his children,illegitimate as well as legitimate, andto bis last wife. To the children ofhis first wife wife he gave $10,;';oO ;

to the eight surviving children oiMiss Sponsler who was known ashis wife when he turned his atten-tion to inventions, he gave $1,750,-000- ;

to the five children of MaryMcGarigal, who liv-- with him asMrs. Matthews, he Jgavo the sameamount; to the child of Mary E.Walter, who lived with him as Mrs.Merritt. he gave portions valued at

400,000, to Lis last wile tie gave$700,000, and to her 6ix childrenportions valued at $5,300,000.

Mary Ann Sponsler, or, Mrs.Foster, claimed to be the lawful wid-

ow of Mr. Singer, and contested thewill, but the decision was againsther, the court holding that IsabellaE. Singer, of England, was the wid-

ow. The executors compromisedwith Mr?. Foster, paying her $73,000.The children all claimed their por-

tions, and all the property ia Americahas been distributed.

The property ia England was set-

tled on Mrs. Singer and her children.There was a qoeer complication inthis case, as Mrs. Singer, whosemaiden name wa3 Lover, was mar-ried under the name of Summerville.Before Lis death Mr. Singer made atrust deed, conveying this propertyto his wife, and signed a will givingthe property in England exclusivelyto her.

Mrs. Catherine M. Singer, the Erstwife, is living with her children inBrooklyn; Miss Sponsler, now Mrs.Foster, is living with her husband inNew York; Miss McGarigal, other-wise Mrs. Matthews, is in Europe ;

Miss Walter, or Mrs. Merritt, is liv-

ing in Europe. All the romance andsad experience of the women cameout in the contested will case. Butnow that all complications have beenarranged, aud all claims paid, this"celebrated caso" will cease to in-

terest the people.Mrs. Singer, the last wife, lives oo

the country eeat in Paignton, Eng-land- ,

where her husband bad plannedto erect a residence that was to outshine all of the old baronial castles.This was to bo called the "Wigwam,"was to have a private theater andreading-room- , conservatories, banquet halls, and all the modern appli-ances and improvements. This wasput under contract, but was not com-

pleted at the time of Mr. Singer'sdeath. Mr. Pavid Hawley, execu-tor of the Singer will, left New Yorkon Saturday for Paignton to completearrangements for placing the Englishestate in the control of Mrs. Singer.The woman who took up with anadventure in Francer, and who sev-

eral years after, as Mrs, Singer, wassnubbed by Xew York society, willthen be worth nearly $C,000,000.

Paring the war a laborer got whathe called two dollars a day for work.It took the product of one day's laborto purchase eight yards of commoncalico. Now he rets one dollar aday, and can purchase with that sumsixteen yards of calico. lie thenpaid thirty and forty cents a yard forcotton cloth, that he can cow pur-

chase for eight cents. It then tookthe product of a day's labor to pur-chase six yards of cotton goods.Now he can purchase twelve yardswith the product cf his day's labor.Then it took ail he could earn in fifteen days to buy a moderate suit ofclothes; now be can purchase anequally good suit with what he canearn in ten or twelve days. Theseare only specimens of the changesthat have occurred.

Benefits accrue through a series ofadvancing and cultivative influences,as follows :

1. By multiplying the mechanicr.rts so that the employedtherein become regular and liberalconsumers of food, without compel- -

inj in its production, thus enlargingthe farmer's homo production.

2. By reducing tLe distance be-

tween producer and consumer, withthe effect of diminishing cost oftransportation between the two; dispensing with a portion ot the formermiddlemen, and increasing tbe num-ber of exchanges.

3. By diversifying agriculture andproviding for a rotation of crops,since the farmer who depends on ex-

portation is limited constantly to thefew growths for which there is a for-

eign demand, whereas tbe domesticrequirement is both steadier and morevarie.l.

4. By relieving the perplexitiesand evils of a slavish reliance uponthe foreign market ; for tho quanti-ties taken abroad, from year to year,are so uncertain and changeable asto frustrate every attempt made, atthe date of sowing the crop, to esti-

mate and to anticipate the amountthat will be wanted, so that there isqnite as great liability to producetoo much as too little; but the homeconsumption can be reasonably esti-

mated.5. By establishing a multitude of

manufacturing centres, from whichgoes forth miles arennd a profitabledemand for those minor crops, suchas pumpkins, turnips, melons, and thelike, which the earth produces bytbe ton, while it yields the cerealsby the bushel, yet which will notbear tbe expense of a long transpor-tation.

6. By retaining in the country andnear tbe field an increasing propor-tion of the waste of agricultural con-

sumption, thereby enabling the farm-er to return to ihe soil, in the shapeof manure, the fertilizing constituentswithdrawn by tbe processes of vege-tation, and preventing the exhaustionof the land.

7. By more and more promotingthe division of agriculture into dis-

tinct branches, as sheep husbandry,the raising of flax for fiber and seed,fruit orchards, vegetable gardens, dairies, cheese factories, bee culture, andthe like, with the result of reducingagricultural competition.

8. By improving and multiplyingroads, bridges, and ferries, and bycheapening all the facilities of transportation, in consequence of tbe rapidgrowth and larger needs of internalcommerce.

9. By augmenting the value ofland and tbe prices of agriculturalproduce, through the greatly increased demand for both.

10. By expanding the supply, improving the quality, and diminishingthe pi ices of manufactured articles,through tbe multiplication of manafdcturers and tbe growing competition among them ior the sale of theirproducts in the same markets.

11. Bv stimulating the inventivegenius of our countrymen to devisemany labor-savin- g machines andbetter implements, whereby much ofthe former drudgery or larm labor istransferred to muscles of wood andmetal, tbe power tilling the landvastlv enhanced, and the cost ofagricultural production wonderfullydecreased.

12. By ultimately briaging themanufacturer to the side of the farmerand the planter everywhere, thus de-

stroying tho onerous tax of transpor-tation, and abolishing tho intervention of supernumerary and expensivemiddlemen, as the effects of directexchanges an increasing tendencytoward wbicn result is now seen intbe growth of manufacturing establishments ia the rural districts of theWest, and in the progressive erectionof cotton-mill- s ia the immediateneighborhood of the cotton fields oftbe South. And,

13. By finally transforming thecultivation of the soil from an ignorant waste of the fertilizing elementsinto a scientific agriculture, whereup-on it enters upoa a bouadless andpermanent career of prosperity.

i be more Irequent tbe tanll protection is weakened, the oftener willthese effects be interrupted; the morecompletelr tbat tinn protection iswithdrawn, tbe more widely willthese effects ba arrested, turned back,and destroyed ; tbe more thoroughlyand steadily that tariff protection isbestowed, the more actively andfruitfully will these effects come intoexistence, and tbe more permanentwill they be. It is utterly impossibleio protect tbe farmer without protect-ing the manufacturer ; for ice pro-

tection of the former follows as aninevitable corollary from tbe protec-tion of the latter. Inter-Ocea-

General Sherman, Washington D. C:Tho following despatch, received

from General Howard, dated headof Birch Creek, July 8,h, at PilotRock :

"I formed junction with the troops.Whoatoa had been ordered to meetme under Throckmorton. It beinguncertain from conflicting reportswhether the main body cf the hos-tile- s

was near the head cf ButlerCreek or near the Columbia crossing,I sent two excellent 6couts to placetheir camp, and at sunrise moved twocolums, one under Throckmorton,consisting of two companies of artil-lery, one of infantry and a few vol-

unteers, which proceeded by thestage road directly t Butler Creekpoatoflics. Tbe other columns, con-

futing of seven companies of theFirst Cavalry as a battalion, underBernard, and severally comauded byM. Grego, Whipple, Bendire, Win-ters, Parncll, Ward and Bonius, withabout twenty of Robins' scouts anda Galling gua. I accompanied Ber-

nard's columa."We had proceeded some three

miles toward tbo head of ButlerCreek when we met tho two scouts,who reported the Indians in force ona height about three miles from us.

Bernard, taking the trot, movedquickly into position over thosetroublesome foothills, the least ofwhich is fenced by a canyon andover a mile in the ascent Tho cav-

alry sped from hill to hill till in thevicinity of the caemy, strongly post-ed on a rocky crest. All the om-panic- s,

except M. Grego's, with tbejack train, were deployed and usedduring the engagement. Tbe ad-

vance was made along several ap-

proaches ia a handsome manner, nota man falling out of the ranks. Thedifferent sides of the hill were steep-er than Missionary Ridge; still, tbofoops, though encountering a severefire tbat emptied some saddles andkilled many horses, did not waver,but skirmished to the very top, theenemy abandoning this ' posi.ion andrunning to the next height in therear, slightly higher, and crownedwith natural defences of lava rock.Ia twenty minutes tbe height wascharged from different side3 and ta-

ken. Then commenced a rapid pur-

suit of the flying Indians, who aban-doned their spare borses that wereon the field, perhaps two hundred,most of them jaded and worthless.Tbey also abandoned their provis-ions, ammunition and camp material.Tbe bostiles struck for the thickpines which crest tbe blue ridge, andagain made a stand, usicg tbe treesfor defence. Again tbe cavalrypressed them in trout tnd on tbetliok, and in a few moments dis-

lodged them a third lime and pushed mem four or five miles further in

tbe mountains. The rough countryand the great exhaustion of horsesand mon caused a cessation ot thopursuit for to-da- y. In the battlelive enlisted menwwero wounded, anaprobably twenty horses killed. Tbeenemy's loss in killed and woundedis difficult to tell. Their women andchildren and best horses were wellout of the wav before the battle began, seemingly towards the GrandeRoude.

In this engagement 0e enlistedmen were wounded and about twenty bores killed. It is impossible tostate tbe loss of tbe enemy. Theirwomen and children and best horses ofwere moved before the fight began,apparently in tbe direction of Grande

THE CHINESE FAME.

New York. July 8 The LondonSpectator, cf June 22d, which hasp

just re?eived, says: Tbe ofli- -

i;l ues received from Shanghaii.t. i. i . i. ..tI'ji.s iti'ira, nit? luiii vi

April, records the details of a faminesuch as our horrible famines in Indiahave never yet approached. It issomething to know tbat rain baa fall-

en since this information was sentoff, and that ia four or five months'time if anything can be doae toabate the horrors in the interval theagony of the suffering may be over.But tbe raia itself can product noresult till the crops which it renderspossiblo are reaped, and ia tbe tneaatime all the frightful incidents whichwe hear of in these coldly accurateChinese Blue Books must go on, ex-

cept so far as they are prevented byChinese or foreigners' exertions.

What these incidents are it wouldbe almost needlessly etartliog to ex-

plain, were it not for tbe fact tbat, ifwe are rightly informed, every 1

which this country can send mayprevent a murder of tbe moat hideouskind a murder of relatives by rela-tives, to b followed by protractedcauuibalisru. Every il receivedfrom Englaod, say t.be missionarieson the spot, may save a life. But tosave a life is nothing in comparisouwith saving a parent from killing bischildren or a child from killing hisparents for tbe same purpose f..rwhich they would kill sheep or oxen

namely, in order to use them f rmeat Tbe mere suggestion is cnewhich revolts the very bedy almostas much as it revolts the soul. Yetthe dry oiucial report says : "In tbeearlier period of distress, the livingfed upon the bodies of the dead: next,the strong devoured tbe weak, andnow tbe general destitution has ar-rived at such a climax mat men de-vour those of their flesh and bloodHistory contains no record of so ter-rible and distressing a state of things,and if prompt measures of relief benot instituted tbe whole region mustbecome depopulated." The Chineseauthorities themselves assert that5,000,000 of the people had diedeither of the famine or of tbe violenceof those who wanted to avoid starv-ation for themselves. Tbe RomanCatholic Bishop of Shansi, Mgr. Mon-ogatt-

completely confirms thisfrightful intelligence. And the gbast-lines- s

of this diabolic feast will notend with itself. What sort of memo-ries will tbe population which basjcommitted such horrors have in thotime to come, when they are no long-er necessary ?

And money can do so much justnow, not merely in preventing death,or crime that is worse than death,out in opening np tbe new comrauncations, tne aosence ot wbicb is responsible for a great deal of theworst horror.
