LyteF Indian Herbs of Joy SANDERSOH'S GREAT REMEDY. THE INDEPENDENT Ii Published Every Evening, EXCEPTED) BY E. Z. WALLOWER. OFFICE: lo.

8 H. Fcnrth HABRISBVBG, PA. A. 'Character Bketoh from the German. J5s.OMK twenty year ago Frita Bummel was a Vy (Cj German etudont he SsA university of Bonn.

I nX9l Jill He had a fine intellect, and had ho PP1Ied gelf could, have made a Kiat name for himself, but unfortunately be bad a constitutional disliko to any thing that savored of hard work. He was a small, slender, pale young man, with a high forehead, and a teminiae cast of countenance. He was re-markahle for his conversational powers. When he chose to he affable he had a peculiar magnetio charm about him. At the same time he was dreaded by friend and foe on account of his satire, and an apparently uncontrollable yearning to make people appear as ridiculous as possible.

He also possessed, to an unlimited extent, what is known as "cheek," particularly when under the influence of liquor. Nobody had ever seen him positively drunk, but he was generally in an ecstatio frame of mind, and on such occasions there was nothing too auda-oious for him to attempt in the way of borrowing money from perfect strangers or Inviting himself to dinner at a table of the wealthiest and most aristocratio families of Bonn. The ability of Fritu to obtain loans from perfoot strangers amounted to positive go-mus. He could insinuate himself into the company of perfect strangers, keep the table in a roar for hours at a time, and wind up the performance by negotiating loans from them in detail. It happened one day that he was walking down the principal street of Bonn with a fellow-student wiea they met another party of students who vJbre going to a livery stable to hire a turnout, with which they proposed to go to some rustic celebration in a neighboring village.

Fritz wanted to go along, but, as was frequently the oase, he had no money. They happened to be opposite the residence of a rich banker, Leplay by name. "Just you wait for me right here on the sidewalk. If that banker is at home I'll tap him for twenty -five thalers, at least." His friend saw him disappear into the house. In a few minutes Frits appeared at the window, arm in arm, talking confidentially to a portly old gentleman, and pointing at his friend, who was standing on the sidewalk.

In five minutes ho rejoined his companion with his pocket full of money. "How did you manage to get it?" "Easy enough. I told the old duffer that a regular blood-suoker of a Shylock followed me night and day; that I hadn't slept for a week, and I pointed you out as the identical scoundrel who was following me up and dunning the life out of me. As soon as he saw you the tears gathered In his eyes, and he loaned me twice as much as I needed." Another peouliar trick of Fritz's was to disguise himself as a woman, and make trouble in respectable families. His low stature, slender frame and feminine features enabled him to do so with perfect impunity.

It was the custom in Bonn for the female servants to rendezvous every evening at the large fountain in the middle of the public square, and there to talk gossip. Fritz had the complete attire of a servant girl, and, having disguised himself so completely that nobody in the world would for a moment suspect his sex, he would ingratiate himself with the servant girls, and in a short time, would acquire an incredible amount of valuable information about the family affairs of the good citizens of Bonn, which knowledge he used very liberally when he invited himself to dine with them. He knew the names of the students who lodged in the houses in which the servant-girls were employed. If the domestic was very old and ugly he would tell her. lo strict confidence, that the student that lodged at her bouse was very wealthy and was dead in love with her that if she re-oiprocated that he would marry her and take her home to his parents.

The consequence of this information was that all the old female domestics in the houses where the students lodged were dreadfully loving to the students, much to the disgust and amazement of the latter. The students could not comprehend why the old Jezebels sighed and cast sheep's eyes at them, while, on the other band, the venerable domestics, believing the Information Frits had given them to be reliable, could not understand why the students were so Irresponsive to the blandishments of their prospective wives. But Fritz also poisoned the minds of the young and good-looking servant girls. He told them that the students at the houses at which toev served had spread reports injurious to their characters. The consequence of this was that the younger and better-looking servant girls, against whom the students had no marked antipathy, were furious, and refused to be consoled under PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD.

Entered at the at Barrutmrg a Becona viast uaixer. Friday. September 13. 1889. Bow to do Business In Fair Competition.

The Harrlsburg Independent has never hesitated to speak plainly on all subject-, enrolving the interests of bust ness men, as well as considering that large class of people, known as the buy ers of a community. One of the points on which it has been appealed to for an expression of a decided opinion by the merchants of the city, is that Of peddling, which is again a very inter esting subject for the local, estab lished, domiciled merchant. Ped dlra are neither renters nor adver tfeers, for ths reason that they hunt their customers, pack on their backs, from door to door and advertise their goods by word of mouth, A merchant cannot compete with such a rivalry by listless indifference and silence in his counting room. He can only sue ced by advertising, and one of the sug gestive facts in this peculiar line of business Is, that wherever advertising is extensively and judiciously done peddling as a business does not pay, and peddlers, as a class, do not abound. Properly licensed peddlers can only be competed with by a properly advertised business.

The peddler and hawker, as a rule, carries an inferior article of goods, but all buyers do not understand this unless they are in' structed in such values by judicious ad vertising. When this is done the ped dler's efforts are not rewarded, with much success and the trade of a locality is done by the resident mer chants. Now the weather men predict an early fall, an unusually cool autumn, because the equinoctial storm, which they claim was that of the late tornado on the Atlantic coast, comes so much earlier this year than the date fixed for its occurrence, the 21st of September. There may be more in such a prognostication than that of a thick rind on fruit, a heavy gathering of nuts by squirrels and the early flight of birds southward. And yet, according to the trite saying, "all signs fail in wet weather," and vainless nature is not always accurate in indicating what is to come she does for the time being.

When the "sun crosses the line," which separates summer from autumn, the changes in the earth's position toward the great luminary is followed by convulsions in the atmosphere which fix the character of the weather for a period. If the equi noctial storm occurs nine or ten days earlier than the 21st of September, the weather men say it is an indication of a severe winter. We can only realize the truth of this by waiting for the blows of Old Boreas, and in the meantime when the "melancholy days" arrive, whether their sadness is increased by hoar frosts and chilly winds, is an evil will be sufficient to be regretted when it occurs. New Mexico statts in a proposition to establish a qualification for citizenship, which is destined to attrict attention in considering organic laws for all future States. It is that no man will be admitted to citizenship in New Mexico who is unable to read and Jwrite the English language.

The resolution introduced in the convention framing an organic law, provides that five years after the adoption of the constitution no person unable to read and write English shall be eligibls to vote. The clause is of especial importance when it is understood that nearly half of the population of New Mexico speak only Spanish. A CONTBIBCTOB to the current number of Scribner' Magazine asserts from an examination of the figures standing ibr the passenger traffic of the United States for 18S7 that a traveller might have gone 51,000,000 miles by rail without being killed, or 12,000,000 miles without being injured. From this it appears that it is safer to be traveling than remaining at home. In other words that a rolling stone wilj never be cracked or smashed.

Some of the monopoly "trusts" are being blanily approached by leading politicians of all parties, in the hope of attaching them to their interests and securing portion of their wealth for use in peutical operations. If effected, such combinations would be one of the best ways that could be devised eventually to ruin the "trusts," because it does not take much time for the political bosses to ruin whatever has money in it. The Republicans will have a majority of three in the House when Congress meets, on the roll as it now stands, and it is likely to be increased to six or seven by the elections in the new States. If this is not changed by the result of contests for teats, it will be enough of majority to work the business of the House successfully. any circumstances.

It amused Fritz im mensely to bear tne students relating their troubles and tribulations, little imagiaing that he was the cause of all their complications. One of the meanest tricks Fritz Bummel was ever guilty of was the one he played on ProfRosenmuller, one of the most dignified men Imaginable, a scientist of worldwide reputation. He was a strictly moral man, for which reason, or some other, Fritz determined to ruin him in the eyes of the community. One evening Prof. Rosen- muller was walking down the crowded and brilliantly illuminated street when a disreputable-looking female put her arm through his and said in a familiar tone: "Good evening, my dear." The old professor became very angry, and pushing the unknown female away, ex claimed indignantly: "Begone, you disreputable creature!" "Why, professor, don't you know me any more!" squeaked Fritz.

"You used to be so good to me." The professor was In mortal terror for fear that some passer-by should see him in conversation with an unknown female, and once more be told him, or ber, to go, but in a lower tone of voice. my dear professor, you are not treat ing me right. I can't understand why you have ceased to love me. WhatJijViQlrtosiar to forfeit your Finally the unfortunate man handed over ail the small change he had on his person, and fled at a rate of speed that beat any thing he had done in that line since his boyhood's happy days. Several persons had seen him talking to an unknown woman, and one had seen him give her money.

Of course, no very pleasant scandal arose next day. Fritz nlaved a similar trick on a young student who was celebrated for his fervent piety. He was really almost too pious. He never drank Deer or wine, never snorea, and was in all respects a marvel. His rroans ia the amen corner oeald be heard all over the church.

He lo the third story of the boarding house. One night. when Fritz knew he was at prayer meeting. a female person, adorned with a wealth Of artificial feathers and flowers, ascended to the third floor of the boarding-house, and knocking at each and every door, asked if that theological student was in. To say that the inmates of the house were scan.

They were horrified beyond measure, and when that young theologian came home they ran him out of the house.
