PRANG & CO. WE owe thanks to the people of the great State of Pennsylvania, and especially to the citizens of the historic City of Philadelphia, who have shown themselves in many ways our special friends. No small degree of our business success in years past has been due to their generous support ; indeed, there is hardly one of the many enter- prises we have undertaken during the last quarter of a century, which has not met with a ready reception at their hands. But it is not only because our publications have always been appreciated in Philadel- phia and the surrounding country, that we have reasonfor congratulation at the present time. The taste for refined and chaste work in color and form, which is acknowledged as character- istic of the " Quaker City," and which is manifest not only in much of the fine and industrial art-work produced there, but also in the general surroundings of the people, has given us many new and valuable suggestions in our efforts to raise to the highest, the standard of our own art-work. Philadelphia has always demanded the best which we could give ; we, on our part, have endeavored to give, in return, our best to Philadelphia. These mutual relations have been instrumental in creating for us a large business in Pennsylvania, and to father a decision in 1880 to establish a branch of our house in Philadel- phia, in order to promote still more intimate relations between the Pennsylvania public and ourselves. In this undertaking we were welcomed most cord/a//j, and it has proved suc- cessful, far beyond our most sanguine andcipadons. But beyond this purely business connection, we have reason to feel particularly grateful to Philadelphia for the support and encouragement which has been given us in our en- deavors to develop a knowledge of and an appreciation for, industrial art in public educa- tion. Philadelphia has opened her schools to give our educational ideas in this direction a trial ; and we count, by no means the least among our many friends, the teachers ot the Philadelphia public schools, who have so faithfully and so conscientiously endeavored to carry out the instruction in drawing, which has been provided for them. As we have said, our thanks are due to Philadelphia and to Pennsylvania for suggest- ions, for cordial support and for kindly hospitality. To them we now offer our best wishes for the increase of prosperity and brotherly feeling, which the celebradon of this Bi-Centennial betokens, and we beg to accompany these expressions of good will with assurances of contin- ued endeavors on our part to promote the interests which the City and State have in develop- ing Art-Education and Art.

October of the year 1882 will complete the second century since the founding of our Coniraonwealth by William Peun ; and it being desirable to secure a proper celebration of this event, an Association was organized for this purpose under the title of The Bicentennial Association of Pennsyl- TANIA. Citizens of every part of the Common- wealth were cordially invited to become members of it, and to aid in tlie ettort to show to the people of the whole country what Pennsylvania and Philadelphia now are, "and the progress which they have made in the two centuries of their existence. "In days past all public demonstrations, intended to commemorate great events in the history of a community, were of a military or a religious charac- ter ; more recently it has been deemed becoming to exhibit the progress which has been made in those arts which tend to promote the intelligence, con venience, comfort, refinement and culture of the people. Such an exhibition is most appropriate when the observance is intended to lionor the memory of those who composed the little colony which, "by deeds of peace, " laid the foundation of a prosperous Commonwealth, and established, for the first time in the world's history, real freedom of opinion and worship; not the toleration which, in former times, as a favor, permitted men to enjoy their views and faith ; but Xhe. right to freedom of thought and religious ceremonies, as a civil prerogative." "On such occasions civilization halts a moment and ' takes inventory ' of her resources and measures her progress." As we received a double legacy of land and government, from the Foundei', we have a double inventory of resources and progress to make and to measure. We not (Uily celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of the acquisition and settle- ment of the land by William Penn and liis colony, as an event of great historic and material interest and importance, but in a higher, a nobler sense we celebrate, withjoyous thanksgiving, the planting, in the Frame of Government and in the hearts of the Quaker Fathers, of the sublime and eternal truth that "all men are created equal, that they are en- dowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights ; and that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Since tliese legacies are a common inheritance, it has been the aim of the Committees entrusted with the arrangement of this celebration to make it an event of interest to the greatest mass of the people. The exercises arranged are numerous and varied, and the greaterportion of them will be seen over the streets, on the two rivers, or in the Park, for in no other way can hundreds of thousands of our citizens unite in witnessing and participating in ceremonies of the celebration. To more fully and im - partially represent all interests and all classes, and to make the platform of theBi-Centennial Celebration as broad as was that of the Founder of the State, five days have been set apart in the Programme, each one of which will be representative. The First day, Sunday, Oct. 33. The Mniwrittl Bay. Religious services in the Friends' jMeeting Houses, the Churches and Lecture Hall's throughout the Commonwealtli, with sermons upon AVm.

All communications, business or otherwise, must be addressed to JAMES ELVERSON, Publisher of " GOLDEN DAYS." Philadclp/iia, Pa From the Baltimore Gazette. The remarkable success attained by GoLDifN Days, the boys' and girls' periodical, published by Sir. James Elverson, Philadelphia, is a most encouraging evidence that pure and healthful lit- erature isnot incapable otattracting the eager in- terest of "Young America." JSIr. Elverson seems, in fact, to have gauged the taste of the average child of our day with wonderful accuracy, as there appears to be but one opinion as to the uni- versal popularity of this excellent periodical. So far as parents are concerned, its success should be a matter for general congratulation, as scrup- ulous care is evidently observed in excluding from its pages everything that could be consid- ered as in any way tending to vitiate the minds of the young. On the other hand, its contents are far superior in vividness of interest for the little ones to those sensational publications which are the source of so much anxiety to all who who have children to educate. Golden Days, in fact, appears to have struck the golden mean in juvenile literature, and it affords us sincere pleasure to be able to chronicle its conspicuous popularity. Rev. Dr. J. H. Vincent, In the January number of the iSunday School Journal, writes : Golden Days is the name of a paper published in rhiladeliilua,intended espec- ially for the young. It is profusely illustrated. Its articles are original, and well adapted to young people. The Rev. Dr. D. P. Kidder pre- pares every week a careful exposition of the In- ternational Sabbath School Lesson. The wc',1- known aliility, the scholarship, and the Ion,"; experience of Dr. Kidder, in writing for the young, are sufficient guarantee of success. Pa- rents desiring something wholesome, high-toned and useful for growing boys and girls should or- der a specimen copy of Golden Days of the publisher, James Elverson, Philadelphia. Golden Days.— It is a child's encyclopedia of wonders, facts, enterprise and daring adven- tures, biography and poetry, skill and chance and scientific delights. It is carefully edited — Philadelphia Puhlic Leelger. James Elverson, of Philadelphia, publishes a a handsome, illustrated and interesting youth's paper, called Golden Days. It should find a a welcome in evei7 Christian home for the young follcs, for the reading is wholesome, and such literature should be encouraged by prompt sub- scriptions. If the youngsters catch a glimpse of it, they will find they need it as a recreation after study-hours. — From the Methodist, New York.

He dated his arrival from the 24th day of October, 1682. He brought, with him a Rojal Charter from Charles II., for the Province of Pennsylvania, and a Frame of Government for the Colonj' he was founding, which established, for the first time in America, in widest scope and fullest expression, complete civil and religious liberty. He arrived at Xew Castle the 27th of October, landed the next day and tooli personal possession. On the 29th he was in Upland (now Chester), where he held court on the 2d of November. The original " Frame of Govern- ment " was read to the people in Upland. It was enacted, with modifications, into the law of the Province, signed and sealed at the Provincial Coimcil in Philadelphia the following April. "Wm. Markham, deputy Governor had received possession of Penn's Provinces on June 21st, 1681, more than a year previous to Penn's arrival in person.

The instruments of peace, persuasion and conversion were the army, the jail, the rack, the fire, the gibbet, the blocli;, the Star Chamber and the execution. These were tlie arguments which were used to suppress every struggle of citizens or nations for freedom. Ecligious liberty had no abiding place. In the century then past, Spain had bound the Netherlands upon the rack, and it had cost her 3-ears of struggling and suffering to unwind the toils of the Inquisition. The nth century opened with the overthrow of the nobility of France and the defeat of the Huguenots by Richelieu. Sir Walter Raleigh returned from his discovery of Virginia to have his head placed on the bloclv. In the middle of the century the great rebellion cost King Charles his head, and gave Cromwell a ten 3ears' Protectorate to lay successful siege to Parliament and to every stronghold of Britain. The Restoration of '60 was followed by Monmouth's fatal rebellion in '85, and by the com- pletion of the Revolution, in the abdication of James II, in 1688. It was a century of great discoveries, great men, great deeds. Shakspearc, Bacon, Raleigh, Clarendon, Arundel, Harvey, Milton, Bunyan, Cromwell, Newton, Locke, Fox, Penn, Sydney many others added to its greatness and gave birth to truths and which as they grew, burst the cloths of helpless blindness that bigotry and intolerance for centuries had been weaving and wrapping about the intellects of the generations as they came into the world, much as the Egyptians, centuries before, had wrapped mummy cloths about the bodies of those wlio departed from it. Before the century expired it witnessed Jeffries' high carnival and travesty upon justice ; it witnessed John Bunyan writing Pilgrim's Progress in prison ; it witnessed the Tower tilled with Bishops who had not soiled their surplices nor seared their con- sciences, and with good peace-loving Christians, among them William Penn ; it witnessed tlie courts filling tiie prisons with Non-conformists who attempted to congregate and worship God ; it witnessed, as it neared its end, tlie translation of Sidney by the axe of the executioner ; it witnessed the revocation of the edict of Nantes by Louis XIY, and the unwilling exile of half a million French subjects, the best blood of the realm ; PENN'S HOUSE IN LETITIA STREET. to America ; but it witnessed no more important event during its entire cj'cle than William Penn's "Holy Experiment," in which he recognized the inalienable and inherent rights of man and founded the Commonwealth of Penns\-lvania with a Frame of Government or Constitution providing that " all persons living in the Province, who confess and acknowledge the one almighty and eternal God to be the creator, upholder and ruler of the world, and that hold tliemselves obliged in conscience to live peaceably and justly in civil society, shall in no ways be molested or prejudiced for their religious persuasion, or practice in matters of fiith and worship, nor shall the}' be compelled at anj' time to frequent or maintain any religious worship, phice or ministry whatever, "and " providing for the matters of liberty and privilege that which is extraordinary, by leaving to the Governor and his successors no power of doing mischief, tluit the will of one man may not hinder tlie good of a whole country, for any govern- ment is free to tlie people under it wlien the laws rule, and the it witnessed families and colonies fleeing from every part of i people are a party to those laws."

It has not only become the fundamental Consti- tutional law of Pennsylvania, but the fundamental law of the land and of the English speaking people of the world Religious and civil liberty were not only made a part of the fundamental law, but justice and humanity pervaded the code throughout. It practically abolished the old and sanguinar}' code of England, and out of two hundred olfences which were there capital, it reserved the death penalty for two only, the crimes of treason and mur- der; it introduced the humanities of our present prison system, making the object of punishment reformation, and ordaining all prisons to be work- shops ; it provided that all taxes be collected by law only, that persons might plead their own causes in courts, th.at all children of the age of twelve shall learn some useful trade, together with many other hu- mane provisions.

This great God hith written his law in our hearts, by which we are taught and commanded to love and help, and do good to one another, and not to do liarm aud mischief one to another. Now this great God hath been jjlcased to make me concerned in j'our parts of the world, aud the king of the country where I live hath given unto me a great province ; but I desire to enjoy it with your love aud consent, that we may always live together as neighbors and friends ; else what would the great God say to us, who hath made us not to devouy and destroy one another, but to live soberly and kindlj^ together in the world? Now I would have you well observe, that I am very sensible of the nnkindness and injustice that hath been too much exercised towards you. by the people of these parts of the woi'ld, wlio souglit themselves, aud to make great advantages by you, rather than be examples of justice and goodness unto you, which I hear hath been matter of trouble unto you, and caused great grudgings and auimo.sities, sometimes to the shedding of bluod, which hath made the great God angry. But I am not such a man, as is well known in my own country. I have great love and regard towards you, and I desire to win and gain your love and friendship, by a kind, just, and peaceable life ; and the people I send are of the same mind, and shall in all things behave themselves accordingly ; and if in any tiling any shall offend you or your people, you shall have a full and speedy satisfaction for the same, by an equal number of just men on both sides, that by no means you may have just occasion of being offended against them. I shall shortlj^ come to you myself, at which time we may more largely and freely confer aud discourse of these matters. In the mean time, I have sent my com- missioners to treat with you about land, and a firm league of peace. Let me desire you to be kind to them and the people, and receive these presents and tokens which I have sent to you, as a testimony of my good will to you, and my resolution to live justly, peaceably, and friendlj- witli you.

W. II. Davis, made at the Bucks County Bi-Centcnnial, Sept. 1, 1882: "William Penn was the first to break the clinins of religious tyranny' in tlie British Isles, and to ])roclaim, iu Ameriea, abso- lute freedom to worship (!od. When he came to tiie wilderness of the Delaware, the pe<)i)le enjoyed only partial religious liberty. They who had ptMjjiled the Atlantic slopes renewed in tlie New the miserable tyranny they had fled from in the Old World. The Puritans in New England, who tolerateil neitlier Quaker nor Baptist, hung Mary Dyer and in midwinter, drove Roger Williams into tlie woods of Rhode Island where he founded a new colony with religions liberty for its corner-stone. Dissenters were treated with almost tlie same harshness in Virginia as in England. To tlie Catholics of Maryland is due the honor of being among the first to approximate religious liberty in the New World, all sects being tolerated in Calvert's colony, a great concession for tiie period. But it was left for William Penn to complete this great work. He bnilded better than his prede- cessors. He refused to halt at the half way house of tolera- tion, but ordained absolute freedom of re- ligious worship to all denominations. He was the first law giver in the New World to declare that the Church owes no alle- giance to the State, which enforced makes religion free. He was the first to abolisli distinction in rank and break down the barriers between clergy and laity. " The character and services of William Penn are not understood nor appreci.'ited at their true value. He is the grandest figure in American colonial history. Brought up in the influence of the most corrupt court of P^urope, he had honesty of purpose to mark out .astraiglit course, and tiie courage to walk therein. He gave uj' all of the allurements of wealth and power, and joined a despised sect in obedience to his convictions. We nowhere find his equal amongthe leaders of men who peopled these shores. Among the Puritans of Xew England, the Hollanders of New York. and the Cavaliers of Virginia, the honor is divided among mtiu}'. Calvert, iu Mary- land, and Oglethorpe, in Georgia, half a william penns century later, came nearer his measure, but they did not undertake their work with such lofty aims, nor carry it out with such steadfast purpose. Penn will stand for all time the central figure. In founding his new Commonwealth he realized both his civil and religious convictions. It was his work alone. The mere fact of bringing a few thousand immi- grants to people the wilderness west of the Delaware is tlie least thing to attract attention in making np a correct estimate of his career and services to mankind. The great feature is the broad and just principles upon which he founded his new State. The late Thomas J. Wharton said ' In the early Constitutions of Pennsylvania are found the distinct enunciation of every gre.at principle, the germ, if not the development, of every valu- able improvenicnt in government or legislation, which have been introduced into the political systems of more modern epochs,' a high compliment from such distinguished authority." Admiral Sir William Penn when scarce twentj'-one, just after receiving his promotion to a captaincy, married a noble daughter of the Netheil.ands, a beautiful, intelligent, and thoughtful woman, named Margaret Jas])ej;, the daughter of a Dutch mer- chant of Rotterdam. Pepy's, in his way, leaves this strong line to outline a lady of distinction and character. " Hath been pretty handsome, and is now very discreet." To have escaped Pepy's gossip, with its double-edged cuts, with so strong a com- pliment, is high praise. If a people were ever taiight discretion by great trials and long sutfering, it was those people who with- stood such seiges as Lej-den and gave support and final victory to William the Silent. Out of the refining reaction of the three succeeding generations came Margaret Jasper, deep and serious in thought, strong and elastic in feeling and delicate and unerr- ing in conscience. William Penn became a Quaker because Margaret Jasper was his mother. Between him and his mother there existed the deepest affection and sympathy. On her knee he had learned of the great snfl"ering of her people for conscience sake. Later she interposed in his behalf and watched him with fond care, .and when turned out ot doors by his_ tiither, she sup- ported him. In his young heart he had felt with all the warmth, zeal and earnestness of child time, the nn-Christ like persecu- tions of Christians in His name. The preaching of Thomas Loe at Oxford was the recall of these memories of early days, the finding of a voice in the wilderness of his day and countrj', calling for truth, and for freedom to follow the inner light and conscience, as the same voice had done a century before in the Low Countries across the sea. This call reached the early consciousness in him and found a willing and pleasing response. William Penn was twice married. His first wife was Gulielui.-i burial-place, JORDAN'S MEETING HOUSE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, ENGLAND. ILLUSTRATED SKETCH-BOOK AND OFFICIAL PROC-iRAMME.

Some years after the deatliof liis first wife he married Hannah Calluw- liill by whom he had GeliiUlrenof whom .lolin Penu onl_v was born in America. He died in London,1718, aged 74. There arc a number of liis acts, letters and state papers, wliicli ofter a fine study of the sweet iin])ulses and strong purposes of his life, and which togetlior reveal many sides of the grand, courageous and sweet character of a great humanitarian and statesman. After having sown the seed of his faith in Eng- land, tlie Netherlands and America ; after having loiuided a nation on Truth and Justice, and after many trials, in his own home, in the colony, and in England. at the call of his Father"well done thou good and faithful servant ; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make the Ruler over many things ; enter thou into the joy of the Lord," he passed out nf tliis life, surrounded by fiiends and crowned with good works. Persoj^al ylppearance of V/illiam Penn. Three portraits of William Penn are to be found hanging in tliis city upon the walls of the rooms of the Pennsylvania Historical Society, and the Penn- .^ylvania Historical Museum, in Independence Hall. The earliest portrait is in the jiossession of the His- torical Society. It is an original portrait of Penn, painted about sixteen _years before the settlement of Pennsylvania, when lie w.as twenty-two years of age. He is painted in armor, as he had not yet be- come a Quaker, and cast it aside for the armor of ,)eace. The superb engraving of him as a young man, given on the previous liage, is copied from this portrait. The other two are at the Museum. One, a bust portrait, is a. copy of a painting in Eng- land, said to be original and genuine. It presents a handsome, noble-looking man, of about Penn's age at the time he founded his Colony, and bearing some resemblance to this portrait of his yoiUh. A third is the full length presentment of West, in his historic picture of ' ' Penn Treating with tlie Indians. " This picture does not pretend to be a copy of the original. The face and features are outlined and moulded from a bust by Lawson. The stout figure has probably been drawn that the body might be in proportion with the bust model. The dress is that of the Quakers of a centur}' after Penn's time. Though this portrait has pictui-ed him to the world until it is known every wlicre, the best authorities no longer credit it with any resemblance to the original. The personal appearance of William Penn when he landed in Pennsylvania is not well-known. He was without doubt handsome in form and fece, of lall and elegant carriage, an accomplished gentle- man, polished in manners and entirely eonvers- aiil with the usages of court society. West's broad- lirhu, broad-face, and heavy-set traditional English- man, as sliown in his painting of "Penn's Treaty," in no wise resembles his picture.

At AVestrainslcT on tlie 4th of March, 1081, Charles the Second, King of England, confirmed to William Penn, by Royal Charter, signed by writ of Privy Seal, the full and absolute pro- prietorship, witli I he power to rule and govern, of that traclofland in America, known afterward as the Province of Pennsylvania. It contained CARPEXTEU S Il.VLI. some forty-six thousand s(iiiare miles of surface, and was received in payment of a debt of sixteen thousand pounds, owed by the King to Sir William Penn. /■ What, is now the State of Delaware, and ■was then named "The Territories," Penn oblaincd from His Royal Highness Iho I)uk(! of York. These two tracts after "Holme's survey, wero divided into three counlics each. The counties of the Prov- ince wero Philadelphia, Rucks and Ches- Icr, and of tlie Territories, Now Castle, Kent and Sussex. ~ I'ciin took legal possession in IfiSl, and ])Ci-son,al possession in 1082. One year later a luuidred houses had been built, three liundred farms settled, ami sixty vessels had arrived. Refore another year had ended, si.K hundred houses had been built, and a promise made to show a province in seven years ecpial to her ncighl.iors of forty years planting. The original settlements of Pennsylv,".- nia were made by the Dutch, Sw(!des, Fins and a few Knglisli and Irish IJuak- er.s, on the banks of the Delaware, and the AVelsh on the hanks of the Schuyl- kill. Penn camo later and settled Phila- delphia. Rucks and Chester. The Dutch under Pastauriuscame in 10S4. Thcearly colon ies comprised a mosaic of nationalities, whicli later settled the State. These in- cluded Ensrlish, who were the principal settlers until 1712, Scotch-Irish, Welsh, Dutch, and a few Swedes and Finns. The German ^Menonites and Dunkers settled Montgomery, Lancaster, Rerksand Lehigh about M0H~~)2 ; the Scotch-Irish went inland beyond these settlements after 1700 and, encircling them, spread southwest over the Alleghenies to the Ohio river. The Moravians came to Northampton about 1740-.')3. Tlx; Yankees, of Connecticut, 1703, moved into the Wyoming vallej- with the intention of holding it as a part of Connecticut, but found lhems(lves held as citizens of Pennsylvania. The North- western portion of the State was principally settled by pioneers from the eastern settlements, after the Revolutionary war. Knoch Flower opened the first school in in8:S, a year after the Landing, and in lG8fl, three j'ears later, William Bradford jirinted the first almanac. Schools and the Press were then as they have been since, the keynote of the colony. The superstition of New Eng- land had no lodgment here. Six months after Penn's arrival, a woman was brought before liim for witchcraft by a Swede. She was speedily tried, found guilty as to reputation, I)ut not guilty in manner or form as indicted. This speeily dismissal of the first case made it tlie last known to the Province. Henjamin Franklin was a prominent printer and publisher of Philadelphia, before he en- tered public life. He printed a newspaper and many books. Christopher Saiir, of Germantowu, aflor Rnullbrd, was one of the first ard largest pub- lishers of the countiy. Ho made his own types, published several quarto editions of the Bible in (xerman, and a large list of religious and general pub.ications — Charles G. Sower, the publisher, is one ot his descendants. " Ry the close of the Colonial age, Philadel- jihia had grown to be the centre of a literary activity, more vital and versatile than has been seen anywhere el.so upon the continent " with a single exception. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had a ' proud founding out of which has como a strong life. Here was the first virgin soil upon which was planted the purest seed of Liberty, freedom of conscience and equalitv of rights and privileges. Pennsylvania was the firstto do justice to the Red Man. Thepolicyof the founder was conceived in Truth and Right, andborniu ".lustice and Mercy." SaysPRnid : " The views of Williant Penn in the colonization of Pennsylvania were most manifestly the best and most exalted that could occupy the human mind ; namely to render men as free and happy as the nalnro of their existence could posibly bear in their civil capacity, and in their religious state, to restore them to those lost rights and privileges with which God and nature had original!}' blessed the human race. Ho so far brought this to pass so as to excite the admirsition of strangers, and to fix th(^ love and honor of pos- terit}-." The Irame of Government which he matured and which he afterwards gave into the hands of his people to adopt of themselves, by themselves, and for themselves, guaranteed in clear, distinct terms, full civil and religious liberty to all comers. The historic Treaty with the Indians, while comprehending the confirmation of the repur- chase of the land, had a greater pur- pose ; its " sublime purpose " says Ran- croff, "was the rccogniiion of the equal rights of humanitj'." In this treaty the Quaker statesman was enacting Paul's gri'at ti'aching, that Gvs naturally became the NDEl'EXDENCE HALL. 10 ILLUSTRATED SKP]TCH-BOOK AND OrFICL\L PROGRAMME. every purchaser from 1000 to 10,000 acres or more, not to have above 1000 acres together, unless in three years they plant a family upon every 1000 acres; but that all such as purchas;; together, lie together , and that as many as comply with this Condition, iliat the whole be laid togellier.

"CHRiSTonHEKSAUR (Ist) ('Sowcr,' as he wrote it in English) was born in 1693. came tn America from Germany, in the fall of 1724, and proceeded to Germantown. Philadelphia, where he remained until the following spring. He was a man of superior education and ability, having a mind thoroughly practical, ready and abounding in resources, as also of a decidedly inventive turn. In 1731 be settled liim.self in agricultural pursuits and partly in the practice and dispensing of medicine, for which he was well qualified by his I)revious liberal education He kept up an extensive correspondence with friends in Ger- many, in which he dwelt upon the destitute condition of his fellow-countrymen in respect to books, and especially the Bible. Moved by these appeals, numbers of Bibles were consigneil to him to be sold at cost or given gratis to those too poor to obtain them otlierwise "At length a printing i)ress and some materials were ■obtained, and as an almanac in Ger man seemed to be a most pressing need, he commenced the publication o"f one, the first of which was Issued in August, 1738. "LTpon issuing the almanac he was immediately besieged from all quarters to commence a paper or periodical containing news and such other matter as he might think pioperandusc ful. At length he issued on the 20th of August. 1739. the first number of a religious and secular journal entitled ' Dcr Hoch-Deutsch Pennsylvanische Geschieht-Schreiberoder Samm lung wichtiger Nachrichten aus dem Natur und Kirchen Reich ' After a time the title ot the paper was changed, but ander both titles religion and morality are implanted on evciy page. "On the Kith of October. 1745, he issued jiroposals for the iniblication of a religious quar terly in German, usual octavo size The first number apijeared iu February, 1746. "The circulation of the weekly reached eight to ten thousand ot each number. It was sent to all parts of the British col jnies, and wicldetl an unbounded influence over the German population. The strong religious tendency of its contents harmonized with the spirit of lelig ious investigation occupying llie minds ot the German settlers at that time, most of whom bad left the fatherland on account of their dissent from the established religion and the independ ence with which they promulgated their own views and practiced tbeir religious rights- " In the .year 17-43, after three years ot toil, Christopher Sower comiileted a magnificent quarto edition of the Bible in the German language The Bible m the English language was not printed in America until nearly forty years afterward This first edition of Srwer consisted of twelve hundred copies, and was printed from the thirty fourth edition of the Constine Bil;ie Society of Halle, which is still considered as the standard bj' which ad others aie corrected It contained the third and tcuirth books of Ezra and the third' book of Maccabees, which were inserted m the Halle edition of 1708, lint subsequently omitted. He also inserted the seventli chapter of the f lurth book of Ezra, which it is believed a]ipears in no other ctlition. " It would be impossible here to give an idea ot the diiiiculties encountered in tlie prosecu tion of this great undertaking Besides those necessarily attending the mechanical execution of the work, selfish and sectarian motives were freely ascribed to him. And so far was this hostility carried that clergymen were lound who denounced it lioni their pulpits before it was completed. Alter it was completed, he triumiihanily leferied toil as a sufficient reply to all the calumnies which had been heaped u])on him, adding the simple but severe rebuke that 'instead of his Bible being false, it proved them to be fiUifiers.' "In carrying on such extensive printing operations he found himself obliged to manufac ture his own paper and ink and bind his own books. To overcome the want of type he estali lished a type foundry, making not only the type necessary lor lus own use. but to supply others in the business. This \vas the first type ti)undiy in America, and aionc would entitle Christopher Sower to an honorable position among the founders of our vaiied industry and the benefactors of the nation. " He wa.> a man of commanding appearance, wearing a long, fl.nving beard, and with a. countenance expressive at once of intellect and meekness. In Se))teniber, 1758, he died, aged sixty-five years, leaving an only child, a son also named Christopher, born in April, 1721, who succeeded in his extensive business, and also enlarged it greatly In 1763 this son completed a second edition of the Bible, and in 1776 a third. As all these" editions were published before the invention of stereotyping, the type had to be re set for each edition. Besides the Bible, newspapers, and almanacs, the younger Christopher published about two hundred other works in either the English or German language, most of them large books Several of them passed through many editions. He employed "two or more mills in manulacturing jiajier, cast his own type, made "bis own printers' ink, engraved his own wood cuts, and bound his own publications. He also did an extensive business in putting up and supplying medicines, having a store-room devoted to this business entirely. "Like his father he was a man of strong mind, an independent thinker, and a ready and fluent speaker and writer. Many of the works he ]mblislied were translated by himself, and he edited his own papers and periodicals. At an early age he joined the sociefy of German Baptists, generally known as Dunkers, and became a minister and bisboii among them. He adopted to their "full extent their peace principles and not only declared against war and fighting, but was thoroughly non-resistant— refusing even to prosecute or defend a suit in the courts, and submitting "to 'every indignity without resistance. He was beloved by all who knew him, which included a ia'rge proportion of the German population throughout the colo nics. He died August 26, 1784, aged sixty-three years, leaving a large family of children, some of whose descendants continue to^devotc "themsel'ves to the useful occupation of their ancestor His son, David, Sr., Grandsim, David, .Ir., and Great-Grandson, Charles G. Sower, as well as others of his decendants, were printers and publishers. Charles G. Sower entered the book-selling trade in 1836 ; in 1845 he couimepced publisii ing books, generally school publications ; in 1851 took AVilliam H. Barnes as partner, and eon tinued busmess as'Sower & Barnes , in 1858 added F. C. Potts as partner, and continued as Sower, Barnes & Co. ; and in 1865 changed the firm title to Sower, Barnes & PottS. The bust ness is still continued under the title of Sower, Potts it Co. The publication house of Sower, Potts & Co. has been quite fomous in the book trade for a number of years. They made a fine exhibit at the Centennial in 1876, receiving several medals for their school publications. At the Paris Exposition in 1878 like testimonials were received. Among their notable publications is Dr. Emmons's work on Geology, the first published for schools illustrated by American fossils. They also issued Colonel Gilpin's "Cen- tral Gold Fields of America," which announced the existence of the precious metals in mass in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain region long before they were discovered there. The firm also publishes the Normal Edueatioiuil Publications, amo'ng which are Brooks's Mathemati- cal Series. These works have attained a national reputation and have done much to revolu- tionize methods of teaching and text books on the subjects of which thcj treat. , ILLUSTRATED SKETCH-BOOK AND OFFICL^L, PROGRAMME. 11 centre of inspiration, thought, legislation, resolution and action in the struggle for Colonial Freedom which folio-wed. .he First Congress of the Colonies, met here. The Declaration of Independence was prepared in jK-iNdljJ GIRARD COLLEOF.. Philadelphia and signed in Independence Ilall ; the Confederation -was formed here and the Constitution of llie United States adopted ; the Na- tional CoTigrcss held its sessions here during the two first Administra- tions. Here was the scat of Government and the liome of Washington while I'resi- ,' dent, and licro he delivered his Farewell ^' Address. Fort Duquesne, whicli first intro- duced General Washington to public notice in military life, was williin the Western bor- ders of tlie province. Valley Forge, Ger- niantown, and lirandywine are as sacred to tlie soil as they are important in Colonial history.; In llie last battle Lafayelle was l)aptizetl in tlie American service. Three times Wasliiiigton and his army crossed the State; "on its soil the council of war was lield which gave the death Idow to the Brit ish Empire in America." The great Com mcmwealth of Pennsylvania in the war oi tlie Reliellion, added even greater lustre t" W tl'.e bearings of her escutcheon. Her recoil ' is one of highest patriotism, greatest sacri fice and most chivalric deeds. Iler soii> were the first to enter the Nation's Capital to protect her integrity at the President's call for defenders. Four hundred thousand others followed them before the war had closed. Their n»mcs and their deeds are known to every battlefield, and are famous wherever heroism and sacrifice are honored. Her chaplains, surgeons, and nurses did devo- ted duty. Iler generals will be found leading the armies of the Union in the greatest battles of the war, on the pages of every history of it. The field of Gettysburg, the Waterloo of the four years' struggle, is spread over her hills and valleys. Here Reynolds lost his life ; Jleade and Hancock won their proudest laurels ; and here the inspired Lincoln spoke, "as never man spake." The Union League of Pliiladelpbia was of inestimable service to tlie coun- try in its time of greatest peril ; the Sanitary Fair brought tlinusands of dol- lars to tlie cause, and the soldiers of every State will testify to the unique and uni- versal beneficence oft be " Cooper Shop. " A history of the war without the history of these would be incomplete. Pennsylvania, in addition to the ven- erable and famous University of Penn- sylvania, at Philadelphia, and to many good Colleges, Academics and Semina- ries, has the tnost democratic and, possi- bly, the best ]niblic .school system of education in the countiy ; and the finest buildings of the towns, other than coun- ty-seats, are the school buildings. The State expends for school purposes over $8, 000,000 annually. The Normal School system is the most extensive in the country, and includes twelve districts; nine of these have schools in successful operation, accommodating from three to eight hundred students. At the close of the Rebellion, ] 864, the State of Pennsylvania organized and opened Soldiers' Orjilian Schools and since that time, out ot the public treasury it has fed, clothed, educated and cared for, until sixteen years of age, every soldier's child applying, who became an orphan during or since the war. More than twelve thousand of these children thus far have been fostered by the State at a total cost of 87,000,000. This one of the brightest pages of her history, and is a proud illustration of the perpetuation of the humanitarian principles of the great Founder. The Penal and Charitable Institutions, among these is Girard College, of this Commonwealth have, from the first, been unsurpassed. The former, for the system of kind treatment and piilicy of reforma- tion, as the latter for their numb(M-, liberalitj-, and devotionto the suffer- ings of every class. Though the youngest of the Thirteen Colonies which united to achieve Independence, Pennsylvania is now first in the development of material resources and second in population. Its sources of substantial wealth are not equaled jirobably by any other territory of like size in the c ountry . The soil is rich and productive, making Agriculture an important indus- try ; its anthracite and bituminous coal fields are very extensive, and prac- tically inexhaustible, yielding now together, 66,0li0.000 tons annually : vast iron ore and limestone beds are found in many sections ; also, copper, lead, and zinc mines, and extensive slate, marble and sandstone quarries. The great coal oil fieldsof the world are in its nortli- western counties, and its lumber forests have produced yearly millions upon millions of feet of lumber. Iron and steel production and manufactures are far creater than in any other State.— in 1881, that ot steel being 1, WO, .518" tons. The chemical jiroduct, the same year, was $100. 000, 000. Glass, bricks, porce- lain, and mineral wares are all largely manufactured. The best cotton and woolen textile'fabricsof every kind and variety, are produced in fabu- lous quantities. More carpets and hosiery are made here than in all of the other States. Iron steamship building at Philadelphia and Chester is mak- ing the Delaware, the American Clyde. The locomotive works and car shops are the most extensive in the country, perhaps in the world. Rail- road lines cross the State like highways, and make every part of it quickly accessible. The Pennylvania Railroad, the first railway to the Ohio, is now the best made, bestcquip- ped, most comfortable, and most perfectly organized railroad in any country. The Reading Railroad is the most important coal- carrying company, and is fast taking rank as a passenger line. 'The flat boating and steam- boating on the Ohio and its branches, the shipping on Lake Erie, and the commerce on the ocean arc^ all important.

The sliip was stopped at Gloucester ; Capt. Ayer came to Phila- delphia in charge of a committee. A meeting was held in which he became satisfied that he would not he allowed to land his tea ; \u- therefore boarded his ves- .sel and returned. The following letters give such a graphic picture of the feejing at the time that w(! insert them. The throwing overboard of the tea at Boston, followeci tlu; action of the cili/.ens of Philadelphia. An English publication of I he time, in printing those two letters*, says ; The original handbills of the committee for Tarritig and Feathering subjoined, are of singular interest, as they were the earlii-sl emanations of the spirit that led to England's losing her American colonics, ami the consequent rise of the United Stat(^s :— 7a Capt.

That of November, 1, 1()83, .signifying his safe Arrival, and that day si.\ weeks they lost sight of Land in Kiir/lnnd, they saw it in Amerira : and be- ing about twelve Leagues off from the Coast, the Air smell'd as sweet as a Garden new blown. As they 8aird up the River they received Visits and Invitations from the Inhabitants, the People being Joyful to see him, both Duteh, Swedes, and EiigUsh coming up to New Castle, they received and enter- tained him with great expressions of Joy after their sort. Ne.\l day after his Arrival, he had the People summon'd together to the Courthouse at New- Castle, where possession was legally given him ; and after that he made a Speech to the old Magis- trates, and the People, signitying to them the end of his coming, the I4ature and End of Government, and that especially he came to Establish, assuring them ijf their Spiritual and Temporal Rights, Lilierty of Conscience and Civil Freedoms; All he pray'd expected or required, was Sobriety Loving Neigh- bour-hood ; then he renewed their Commissions and so left them. He went from thence to a place called Uphmd, where he called an Assembly, anil gave them as ample satisfaction as at Netr> Viixtic, so they Signed an Acknowledgment, and were very Joyful : The Sireden sent one Captain Lfiey Cmik (Lacy Cock. — Ed.) to acquaint him, Thei/ irould Serve.

England and Germany again soon followed the example set by their Ameri- can pioneer, and spent fortunes in prizes for original designs, until it can be said that the best thought which the art-genius of the civilized world can show, is now devoted to the production of so apparently insignificant a subject as the Christmas Card. A comparatively small sttm may now procure a work of art in color which five vears ago it would have been impossible to obtain for ;iny sum whatever. The Birthday Card, the Easter Card, the Thanksgiving Card, the Valentine Card followed in the wake of the Christmas Card quite naturally, until now the ))roportions which this branch of lithographic art jtublishing has attained are marvelous and beyond computation. But in spite of all com})etition, European or Americtm, "Prang's Cards" still take the lead, and the bu-siness he created is the model for his enterprising followers. The development of the immense business of L. Prang & Co. is due to Mr. Prang's idea to raise chroiao-litho- graphy in America to ''the level of a fine art." That is the task he deliberately set hiiuself to accomplish and in looking at the results, we have to consider that they are the products largely of his own work, that they have been pro- dttced in a coitntry new to art and in a city almost destitute ofi the facilities necessary for the pur.suance of the technical work — a city in fact where every- thino- had to be created or imported from abroad. It is oi"ily when the.se condi- tions are fully realized, and the difficulty of overcoming them understood, that the marvelous success' which the house of L. Prang & Co. has reached, can be fully appreciated. The record of the firm is something to be proud of, and the career of Mr. Prang rnay well stimulate the aspiration of a young man entering upon a career of life where difficulties present them.selves to be conquered. But L. Prang & Co. have not been satisfied with catering for the pleasure of an icsthetic public. I n 1875 they resolved to do their share in furni.shing facilities for giving instruction in lndu.strial Art in the imblic schools. The practical gen- itis of our jieople, looking to pos.sible development of our industries, discerned the advisability of giving our youth a training in the language u.sed in our work- -shops and in our inditstrial enterprises generally, viz : the expression of ideas by drawing. Industrial drawing is now considered by the highest educti- tional authorities as of fundamental importance in a training for a practical life, and the pulilic schools in all the principal cities of the country are now giving iustritction in drawing as ;i ftmdaineuttil feature in iiitlilic education. To aid in tins work, li. Prang & Co. brought their simjile business principles forward and «',t abotit providing better and more comiilete facilities for giving instruction i,. the schools. They enlisted the co-operation of prominent educator,?, specialists and teachers, and they have produced a course of study iti Drawing which stands without a rival in its completeness and its practicability. So .satisfactory have been its results that it has been introduced inio the public schools of nearly all the leading cities of the country. It has been introduced into the public .schools of Philadelphia and this city cpiite lately h:id an exhibition in its magnificcm temple of tiie fine arts, of the pujiils and 1ca,cliors of the imblic .schools which w:is visited by nearly 100,000 persons, and it is not necessary therefore to enlarge upon the result of the work there exhibited. Esough that France has sent its commission to America to stttdy the working of the method in our public schools and has pronounced in most unetpii vocal terms for its superiority over all other systems and has adojited essentially its features for her own puli- lic schools. The future will undoubtedly open new fields of enterprrse for the house of L. Prang & Co., ai"id there is no doubt but that the spirit of improvement which has guided their efforts so far will not be wanting in whatever they may under- take, either in the line of art or educational publishing.

'ijiZ PI^0(3R/I]VI]VLE. The Publication Committee have performed an arduous work in a period of time, almost in- credible to those experienced in the dilBculties to be met with at everj- step. Little more than a fortnight before the time for the Official Pro- gramme to be issued, efforts in other directions to secure the preparation of one having failed, the General :Mnnager and some of the members of the Executive Committee urgently requested a number of gentlemen belonging to the Asso- ciation to undertake the work in order to pro- vide a printed record and souvenir of this im- portant historic occasion. The Celebration was so nearathand that but twelve working days were left in which to edit, illustrate and print tliis vol- ume for the Bi-Ceutennial Association. To ac- complish this, some of the best artists were at once enlisted. Sixteen presses and five binderies have been worked day and night. It would have been easy to have made a simple pro- gramme, but in the spirit of the Association, the Committee have aimed to present Sketches, His- torical Documents, Historical Buildings, Illus- trations of Pageants, etc., and to furnish visitors information which will redound to the honor and standing of the City and the Coiumon- wealth. The cover designed by the Committee has been so beautifully executed and printed by the best artists, as it is lioped, to make it a worthy historic and art souvenir of the event. The en- graving of William Penn is believed to be the finest engraving ever made of the Founder. The pictures of the New Public Buildings, the Ridg- way Library, and the Masonic Temple, thought to be the three finest buildings iu the world of their kind, the School of Design, and the two jNlonuments commemorating Religious Lib- erty and General Meade, were prepared espe- cially for this Programme at the instance of the Committee. The work is done, and fm-ty thousand copies have been printed and bound tor the Celebration. Whatever defects are found the Committee trust, will be charged by a charitable public to a sore need of time. They have worked con- scientiously to present many interesting papers and other matter particularly appropriate to the occasion. Whether they have or have not reached what ouglit to have been accomplished, they hand their work over, knowing that they have done their best in the time allotted them. In doing so they wish to say that but for the . kindness of others they would have been wholly unable to do what they have done. They are under obligations to many, and they here wish to make public acknowledgment of the speci;il favors extended to them by Oii7' Crtn^("«cn^ Publishing Co., Philad'a, Pa. Samuel C.

Men may oppose it as much as they choose, but in the end popular opinion is always right. Sometimes it goes wrong for a few months, or for a few years, but in the end it comes down to an exact and unanswerable decision. It becomes at last an opinion of that supreme court of the world in which every side is weighed and the case is heard again and again on countless ap- peals, until at last no possibility of error exists. Even the most galling truths must be accepted after such an ordeal of inquiiy. If the well- canvassed public opinion says that a man is not a good poet or a good preacher, or a good teacher, il is well to accept the verdict and try fanning at once. But what public opinion accepts and endorses, it is folly to oppose. Thousands upon thousands during the past thirty-eight years have endorsed Ileckcr's Buckwheat till at last it has settled down into a fiivorable popular opinion which no longer admits of reasonable doubt. Ii^stantarieously. Electricity has rendered it possible for luisi- ness men to have much of their work done iji- stantaneously. It, is useless to oppose the pro- gress of the age. JIany people who declare that they do not touch anything in the shape of a proprietary article, sleep all the sounder because their spring mattress is a patent one ; eat all the more heartilj- because their coffee is cooked in a patent pot over a patent range, but many old ways remain in liouse-keeping which cause delay, and not that alone, but infinite dissatisfaction also. If a woman's work coidd be done as in- stantaneously as a man's, then there would be more time for rest and the cultivation of many desirable things. And however much a man may desire the good things which come out of the kitchen, he does not admire a woman who is never away from it. The truly admired house- keeper is the one who goes into the kitchen, and by using Ileckcr's Self-raising Buckwheat, makes up her cakes instantaneously and returns smil- ing with satisfaction in tlie shortest possible time. jiaste V/ithout Waste. This, like the wish of Mticlietli, would he ''a consummation devoutly to be wished for," but how shall it be attained? Every act of haste in life, from the race after a departing train down to the effort to button one's shirt collar in a hurry, seems to mean wear and waste, and to iu\-olve the loss of baggage and buttons in almost every case. The old proverb, in spite of countless at- tacks upon its correctness, still holds the ground. But in comparison with the new hand in the shop, or the beginner at the machine, the work of the skilled hand seems very quick, and the novice is the one who wastes the most, although doing the work less rapidly. We often wonder wliy women waste their time in trying vainly to arrive at the exact proportions of soda, salt and flour, when the Self-raising Flour put up by the skilled employees of Geo. V. Hecker & Co , which have led the market for forty years, would save so much time for them, and make it po.ssible to have haste without waste. No one attempts to deny moreover that all sorts of work, except some kinds of scientific investigation, are better done in the morning than at night. Tired and dull, the last efforts of the day are seldom worth much, and the attempt to work or read in the twilight which many make is worse than foolish. Plenty of light in the heavens and plenty of light in the mind are two necessary things to the accomplishment of good work. !XIen may try to do ^^•ithout them and many appear to succeed, but they do not. Women who let the important things of the day drag until its last hours are seldom commended for their wisdom, and if this nineteenth centuiy has taught any new truth more plainly than an- other, it is that good cooking is a necessary aid both to good health and a higher cultivation, and it has coupled cooking in the clearest manner with the Self-raising Flour and Buckwheat of Geo. V. Hecker & Co., which are ready in a moment's notice in the morning and need not be laid up the night before. This morning work will surpass that done at night. I'eri jJoups' V/opI^, Is it tf>o much to require of a strong, able man? Thousands of mechanics all over the country say that it is too much, that it leaves them no time for thought, for rest, for educa- tion, or for society. They talk often of striking for an eight hour sj'stem. Go home with them and see how they live. At daylight the wife is up and the breakfast is ready by six o'clock, when the worthy man gets up to eal it. When he returns at night the supper is being prepared, and it is not long before he is snoring on the bed or the sofa, while the wife washes the dishes and closes up her work. Does he think ten liours work too much for her? Does he ever try to lighten her load by bringing home some of Hccker's Buckwheat, so that she can make up her cakes in half the time? If not, she sliniild get it herself at once, or strike for a reducliim of tlie hours of her work. ]VIodera I'able I'all^. That our ti)i-efathers were progressive is .shown by the enduring evidences of tlicir handiwork all around us, and although some croakers do not give the present generation due credit for steadily increasing intelligence, it is an established fact that we lead the last generation more than it led the preceding one. Few articles have grown so rapidly in public estimation and gained such a well-earned and popular reputation during the past few years as Hecker's Self-raising Buckwheat. Ricli and poor alike sound its praises, and when we reflect on the troubles, worry, waste and often uncertain results of the old method and contrast the jires- ent way of having delicious buckwiieat cakes at a moment's notice, by simply mixing the Ilccker Buckwheat up with cold water or milk, self-con- "■ratulation at modirrn advancement ought to make such cakes taste ever so much better. Tiy- it for yourself Long after old modes of baking bread, biscuit and griddle cakes are obsolete, Hecker's Self- raising Flour will lie actively and generally used by progressive people. Ti.ME is money, especially in the morning -. you can save time, confusion and doubt b_v using Hecker's Self-raising Buckwheat. THE LANDING DAY-TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1882. LANDTXG DAT. Thus. JI.

The Night Tableau Pageant will l)e unique in Philadelphia, and whilst presenting the interesting and appro|)riate scenes connect- ed with our own history, also contains much which appeals to the fancy and ex- hibits to us something of the Mardi Gras of the south. The Pageant Parade wili be in three Divisions, as follows : /. Pennsyhaniti History. This Division comprises ten taljleaux, il- lustrating some of the most interesting events in the history of the State. First, Wm. Penn receiving the Charter from Charles II. This was the first act toward the founding of his Provinces. The land- ing of Penn follows in interest. Then, the l^'orming the Law ; the settling of the boundary ; the Treaty with the Indians : the Battle of Bushy" Run ; the Fight a' Germantown ; Valley Forge ; the Last De- livery ot Beaver Skins ; and Pennsylvania and a Re united Country. The last is alle- gorical. This Division is followed by that of :?. Illustrious Women. The first tableau represents Cupid on Jove's proud bird, and is a beautiful coun- terfeit. The others in order are Semirair.is, Zenobia, Cornelia, Sa|)plio, Cleopatra, Queen Elizabeth, Joan '>r Are, Marie Stuart, Isabella, and last, tliat beautiful hapless Empress, Josephine. This series of illus- trious women presents women of the best virtues, highest heroism, richest fancy and most royal character. of The Third Division presents sixteen Tab- leaux. .J. The Ramayana. This poem of India bears much the same relation to her history that ^lilton's Para dise Lost does to the Western World. It is called the Eiiic of the East. The Tableaux, illustrations and diseriptions give sufficient to show the nature of the Poem. The Tab- leau have all the mystic and gorgeous form and splendor of the Orient and under good lights make a striking exhibition. The Welsh societies have their contest for prizes at Allison's building. ; Gouck & JIaier, Flour : J . Soap; Penna. Salt Co.; Bread ; Kenney Tobacco FORJil/If 10?^ OF P^RTIDE. WALTER G.

Tliere iiru many traditional accounts of thcmanner in wliioli Penn received the Cliarler to the State, which Cli-vrlcs did t lie honor to name after his( Penn 's) father. The best, however, is, that Penn upon being informed that his petition had been granted by the Lords of the Committee of Trades and Plantations, hastened to court to thank his Majesty for his royal favor anil generosity. The King being in readiness to receive him, he was at once without ceremony introduced into the dining-room of the Palace. The King presented him the deed which is illustrated in this Tableau, and as there is no authentic record of those were present at this interview, which was full of pleasantry and friendliness between Charles and Penn. the characters introduced, are Penn's most intimate friends and supporters — with the Lord High Chief Justice. The T.\ni,E.\u REPRESENTS the Drawing-room in Whitehall Palace, with a throne in the rear, upon which the King, Charles II is seated. Upon the apjiroach of Penn, who remains uncovered, the King rises and presents the deed, when the pleasant interview follows, which is familiar to every reader. Upon one side of the throne is the Lord Cliief Jus- tice North in Chancellor's robes, on the otlier, the Earl of Sunderland ; James, Duke of York, stands immediately in the rear of Penn, as liis guardian and friend. In tlie hall are Lord Hyde and the Earl of Halifax, all in the handsome rich costumes worn during tlie reign of Charles, which makes a show- ing contrast to the plain, quiet costume worn by Penn. The picture is striking in its eflect, and carries one back with |)ride to the triumph of the trying times which the founder of this gr(*at State had, in acquiring liis title. ¥;. \ih\Qlm 11. Landing of Penn at Philadelphia. Upon receiving the Charter, Penn at once pro ceeded to arrange for the possession of his newly acquired territory, by sending three commissioners, Wm. Crispin, John Bezar and Kathaniel Allen, under speoilic instructions. In these he stated, how to care for his people, treat the Indians and the settlers, and the mode of laying out and measuring the land, as well as the site for a city on the Dela ware river, "where it is most navigable, high, drj and healthy ; that is, where most ships may best ride, of deepest draught of Water, if possible to load or unload at the bank or Key side, without boating or lighterage. " Penn prosecuted with energy all the necessary arrangements, tor disposing of his lands, furnishing supplies and organizing the government of his Colony, and at the same time attended to his re ligious duties. In the summer, after the death of his mother, he began active preparations for i voyage to America: lie wrote to his friend, Algei non Sidney, in regard to the frame of govern- ment agreed upon ; also wrote his wife and children a letter, a masterpiece of manly and fatherly coun- sel. In August, 1()83, he embarked at Deal, and departed from England, sailing on the ship Welcome, Robert Green, Masteri and arrived after a two months' voyage within the Capes of tlie Delaware. Landing at New Castle on the 27th October, he proceeded to Upland or Chester, and from thence to Philadelphia, ill an open boat or barge. With de- light he scanned the banks of the Delaware, shaded as they then were wi ; h majestic foi-ests, and clad with variegated foliage of autumn. After passing the mouth of the Schuylkill, they came to a place called Coaquannock, there being a high, liold shore, it seemed that nature had provided it as a site for the infant but future great city of Philadelphia. Ills approach was hailed with deliglit by the whole jiopulation, and (bis T.\iiLE.\u represents him just approaching the shore in his barge, with oarsman, coxswain and boatswain. Penn is standing accompanied by his friend and Lieutenant AVm. Markham. In the river are friendly Indians, in their birch canoes, and on the banks are the Swedes and Dutch, all eager to catch a glimpse of their future Governor, and the Friends who had gone before, are anxiously waiting for their protector. How in- tensely interesting this scene ! how vividly pictured even to the Indians in their canoes ! and so life-like is all, that one feels as if they were to day partici- pating in the actual event in this moving Tableau.

Penn's Treaty with the Indians. This Tableau represents, as near as can be protrayed in a moving picture, the scene, "on the Banks of the Delaware in ths suburbs of the then rising City of Philadelphia," of a fine natural amphitheatre, used from time immemorial, as a place of meeting for the native tribes. The name Sakimaxing, has a royal signification, meaning the locality of kings. At this spot stood one of those glorious elms, -which was already about one hundred and fifty-five j-ears old. Under its spread- ing branches, friendly nations had been wont to meet to arrange difierences, and to smoke the calu- met of peace, long before the pale face had landed on these shores. "With the tact which ever distin- guished him, Markham had appointed this locality for his first conference with the Indians. The Land Commissioners wisely followed his example, and when Penn proposed his solemn conference, he named Sakimaxing, for its locality. Here stood the gigantic Elm which was to become immortal from that day forward, and there lay the verdant council chambers, formed by nature. In the centre stood William Penn, in costume un- distinguished from the surrounding group, save by a silken sash. His costume was simple, but not pe- dantic or ungainly, his hat of cavalier shape (with- out the feather), from beneath which, escaped the curls of a new peruke. At his right stands Capt. Markham, on his left Pearson, and near his per- son, but a little backward, some of his most attached adherents. The Indians are in their old forest costumes, with bright feathers, and bodies painted in the most gorgeous manner. Taminent, Chief Sachem or King, is in advance of tlie others, lie wears a chaplet on his head — into whiclr is twisted a small horn. Tlie veneralile chief is seated on the ground, wilh the other Sachems on his right and left. This striking and picturesque Tableau brings before us a real picture of two hundred years ago ; one which will carry its strong moral lessons forward to the unending years of eternity. Boqnet Expedition — Battle Run— 1763. of Bushy The friendly relations incorporated by Penn in Eastern Pennsylvania were not maintained by the later settlers of the interior. A different policy later caused open warfare, partly through treachery of the Indians, caused by a want" of proper treatment from thejvhites, and partly by the encroachment on their rights of territory from "the natural progress of civilization. The struggles were long, severe and very trying. Step by step the Indians were forced West, u'nlilthe Battle of Bushy Run. Tlie army under Col. Boquel had been marching through the beautiful valley of the Cumberland, there "laying buried in foliage, except the rocks which crowned the mountains. The main ridge of the Allcghenies, like a mighty wall of green, rose up before them. They pursued their zigzag march up and over the woody heights, under a sweltering .July sun ; they afterward de- scended into a country less rugged, but with a dense forest and increasing in other dangers. The tired soldiers were pressing forward, when suddenly the report of a rifle from the front sent a thrill along the ranks. Soon the whole forest was alive with the whooping, yelling savages, and an active engage- ment was iiiiminent. The fight lasted until niglit, and the troops encamped upon a hill where the fight took place. The next day, the fight being renewed with greater fierceness. Col. Boquet ordered two companies to fall back. The Indians, taking this for a retreat, leaped up, and rushed pell mell on all sides into the opening made, when the two conipanies named, under a cover of the bush, made a detour and poured a terrific fire into the savages from the rear ; the other troops rushed upon them, and after a deadly encounter, routed them. The loss of the savages 'was very heavy and they retired, and Col. Boquet had reli'evcd Fort Pitt and virtually ended the war. •This TABt.EAU REPRESENTS vividly the engage- ment described above, in the dense forest on the banks of Bushy Run.

The next Tableau brings us nearer to the scenes of conflict with tlie raotlier country — and back again to the neigliborhood of Philadelpliia. At the battle of Germantown the principle feature seems to have been the attack on Chew's House, where Musgrave took refuge with se%'eral companies of his command. The scene of the conflict is thus gra])liically de- scribed — " The morning was very dark ; a thick fog, rendered more dense by the smoke of the cannon and musketry, obscured everything, and it was im- possible for the soldiers, marching over ground broken by roads and houses, to see clearly what was before them, as they advanced upon the two sides of the town. When the reserves arrived on the top of the hill at the entrance of the town, they found that Col. Musgrave, with six companies of the loth. Regiment, had boldly thrown himself into Chew's house, barricaded the doors and windows, and )irepared for a vigorous defence. The first knowledge that the Continental troops had of Chew's liouse, says Colonel Pickering, was "the whizzing of musket balls across the road, before, behind and above us." Fruitless attacks were then made by artillery and infantry to dislodge them. The gene- rals feared to leave this important obstacle in their rear, and by tlie advise of General Knox, a flag of truce was sent by Lieutenant Colonel Smith, a gal- lant Virginia officer who volunteered his services. He had hardl_y crossed the lawn in front of the house, when a rifle shot stretched him upon the ground. Another general attack was then made by infantry and artillery, under General JIaxwell, and an inef- fectual siege begun. The tide of battle soon changed, and upon the retreat of the American troojis the enemy still held the position of Chew's House. The T.\BLE.\u SHOWS Chew's house, a fine stone mansion standing several rods from the street, with a lawn in front, over which tlie Continental troops, led by General JIaxwell. are advancing under the galling fire of the English, through every window in tile house. With this another picture passes away to give room to one of the most thrilling scenes con- nected with the War of Independence. ¥iilileim VIII. The Approach to "N'alley Forge. Washington chose Valley Forge as a place for a winter encampment, because it was remote from dangers of hunger, and of sudden attacks from the enemy. At the same time he might more easily, protect the Congress at York, and his st(n'es at Read- ing. The trying journey from Whitemarsh to Valley Forge, in the bleak month of December, has no equal in the annals of our struggle for Independ- ence. It was over hard frozen ground and through snow, barefooted, leaving blood spots on the white carpet trodden by their lacerated feet. Thescenethis Tableau iiiLUSTRATEs is thus viv- idly described by Henry Armitt Brown : "The wind is cold and piercing on the Gulf Road, and the snow-flakes have begun to fall. Who is this that toils up yonder hill, his footsteps stain'jd with blood'i! His breeches not enough to cover his nakedness. His comrade is no better oft', nor he who follows, for both are barefoot, and the ruts of the roiigk country road are deep and frozen hard. A dozen are in sight, and there are more to come. See them as tlicy mount the hill that slopes eastward to the Oreat valley, hidden from sight by the dense cloud of falling snow-flakes. Yonder a horseman, with sad but stern and de- termined countenance, whose presence nerves and encourages this frozen, struggling band, seeking their refuge to plod on — is this an army? are these soldiers that huddle together and bow their heads as they face the biting wind? In yonder forest they must find their .shelter; perils shall assault them, trials that rarely have failed to break the fortitude of man await them, hunger and disease will beset them, famine stand guard with them at night, frost shall lock their camp in icy fetters — but all in vain — danger shall not frighten, nor temptation have power to seduce them, doubt shall not shake their love of country nor suffering overcome their fiu-ti- tude. The powers of evil shall not prevail against them, for they are the Continental Army, and these the hills of Valley Forge." ^ ^v ^»""« %, GEO. V.

According to the Charter given to Pcnn, tlie grunt was "not in capite " but in " free ami common socage, by fealty only," yielding and paying to the king two beaver skins annually, to be delivered at the Castle of Windsor. Tliis Tableau represents the Guard Chamber in Windsor Castle where the delivery was made. This •act was tlie last acknowledgement of fealty on the jiart of the Proprietary to the mother country; it took place on .January 1st, 1780. The beaver skins were delivered 1)}^ William Tyrroll, acting for the proprie- tors, to William Jarman acting for William Pliillii)s, Es(|., Lieutenant Governorof Windsor Castle, and in the presence of Thos. Boardmora as witue.ss. The receipts are now in the archives of the Historical Society of Pennsj'lvaniain this citj', and are a valua- ble relic connected with the early history of our SI ale. They become particularly valuable, as the final or last pa_yment and seemingly as the last act of allegiance to the king. Yk.bl eau X Peiiii.sylvauia — A Re-imited Country. This Tableau, the last of this division is made to illustrate a new and difierent era, from that just pic- tured in those preceding it. They illustrated actual events in the early settlement of the State, and its struggles through the war of Independence. This tableau is t3-pical of the results of those struggles and claims for our city and State that position, in the History of this Nation, to which it is so justly entitled. Tlie first provincial assembly which framed and proclaimed the G !•<• i d Lkw o(^ civil am\ religious liberty, inaugurated by the great Penn, is followed by the struggles in her infancy for exist- ence. The State in her youth is then shown, flglit- ing manfully for her freedom, and her severance from the yoke of the Mother Country, and boldly aiding in the formation and proclamati(m of the Declaration of Independence by the first Conti- nental Congress, within the walls of tlie edifice sacred and dear to every American. Thus sounding the key-note of our freedom and liberty, site may well be called the Keystone State. She has now become great and prosperous ; her mines, her manufactories, her schools, and her printing estab- lishments, entitle her to this T.^bleau represent- ing the Goddess of Lil)erty on a Keystone in the cen- tre of the car. On the Keystone is emblazoned the Coat of Arms of the State ; immediately in front and near its base is a negro, with broken shacliles, denoting his freedom. Surrounding the pedestal, and on a raised platform, are allegorical figures of the Miner, School Teacher, Artisan and Printer, and on the main body of the car seated on keystones are ahso allegorical figures, symbolizing all sections of the Reunited Country. Tlie North is on the front ; the South on the rear; the East on the right; and the West on the left. Surrounding each figure are the mineral, agricultural and other productions of the respective sections. This Tableau is a fitting end to llie stirring and vivid tableaux preceding it, and a beautiful introduction to the grand p.ud spectacular ones to follow.

The rosy Boy-God is armed with the same bow and arrow with which he wounded Apollo, when the latter, after having slain the huge Serj,ent Python, asks by what right he, a mere boy, carries so manly a weapon as a bow. Flowers spring up to greet the God of Lo/e as he approaches, bending their slender stems in loving obeisance and welcome, as if to emphasise their allesiiuK-e to tlie Power who has invested them with so large a portion of their importance and signific- ants, Tlie Peacock bears himself as if proud of his hunleii, while his glorious colors appear to justify the fable of liis derivation.

It consisted of a scheme for a general alliance or compact among the dif. ferent states of Europe, whereby they should agree to constitute a "General Diet "or Congress of na- tions, wherein each should be represented by depu- ties, and all diflfereuees should be settled on equi- table terms, and without recourse to arms.] Con- tributions to Am.

Represents Semiramis, Queen of Assyria, the first female sovereign of whom we have any historical record, and whose name inevitably recalls the re- motest historical period. Seated in a war chariot, with a golden helmet on her brow, clothed in royal robes, and proudly swaying her sceptre as an em- blem at once of her sovereignty and her conquests, appropriately indicating her ambitious temperament and warlike character. Semiramis captivated the heart of Ninus, the Assyrian King, and after his death ruled over his dominions, adding to them by the subjugation of the Medes, Persians, Libyans and Ethiopians. She founded the immense city of Babylon, adorning it with the most stupendous public works, temples, bridges, hanging gardens, etc, etc. The background of the tableau is occupied by pillars sustainding an architrave adorned with hieroglyphics, and supporting a mass of tropical flowers representing the hanging gardens of Baby- lon.

Slie appears in a Grecian cliariot, the sides of which shine like burnished gold and drawn bj' milk-white steeds. Her robes are blue and white, her head is adorned with the laurel crown and in her hand she bears a lyre. Beside the chariot walks Phaon, the young Grecian war- rior whom she hopelessly loved and leaped into the sea from the Leucadian Cape in consequence ; and at the head of the liorses there is a charioteer. Sap- pho was born in Mytileue in the Island of Le.=;bi)S, about GOO years B. C, and was deservedly famous for lier amatory poems. The first Public Library in America— the present "Library Company of Philadelphia " — was founded by Benjamin Frankliu, in 1731. In the same city were also established the first Medical School, in 1703 ; the first Academy of Fine Arts, in 1805, the first bank, the Bank of Pennsylvania, in 1780; llie first Social Club, the Wistar Club, by Dr. Cas- per Wistar, in 1799, and the first Union Flag was unfurled on board the ship Alfred, at Philadelphia, in 1775. The discoverer of the usefulness of anthracite coal as fuel was a Peuusj-lvaniau, Judge Fell of Wilkesbarre. The first Shot Tower in America was erected early in the present century by Thomas W. Sparks, iu Philadelphia, and still stands in successful opera- tion. The first producing oil well in the L'nited States was bored iu Pennsylvania, at Titusville, in 1859. It was a " thousand barrel " well. The first Bessemer steel rails made upon order in the United States were manuf\icturcd in Pennsylvania, at the Cambria Iron AVorks, Johnstown, from ingots made at Harrisburg, in 1867. The first iron works in America were the Jlontour Iron Works, at Danville, Pa., opened in 1840. :ileku XVI Uepresents Cleopatra throned in the gorgeous liarge in which she ascended the Cydnus to meet Marc Antony at Tarsus. Arrayed, not like Aph- rodite, but in gorgeous vestments, sparkling with rare and costly jewels, she receives the homage of the Roman General, who has borne the summons from the conqueror of Brutus and Cassius, and now sits at her feet a willing captive to her matchless charms. Cup-bearers and other attendants stand about the pavilicm, while in the bow of the barge there is a group of richly attired musicians, the whole forming a group which literally sparkles and glows with light and color. " The barge she satin, like a bnrulsli'd throne, Jiurn'd on the water; the poop was brateugold ; Purple the sails, and so perfumed, that The winds were lovesiclc witli them ; the oars were silver, "Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made The water which they beat to follow faster, As amorous of their strokes.

Not even all the plots, rebellions and executions which defaced the famous "Elizabethan Age, " can suffice to dim the lustre shed upon it Ijy Drake and Raleigh, Essex and Lei- cester, Burleigh and Cromwell, Spencer and Sir Philip Sidney, Bacon and Shakespeare. In the pic- ture before us she appears seated upon her throne surrounded with all the accompaniments and trap- pings of royalty, and attended by some of the most distinguished ornaments of her brilliant court. On one side stands her favorite, the courtly but treach- erous Leicester, upon the other Lord High Treasurer Burleigh and his lady and attendants, while before lier stands the inspired Shakespeare, reading one of his immortal dramas — prossibly the very prophecy he puts in the mouth of Cranmer at her christening : " This royal infant (heaven still more about her !) Though in her cradle, yet now promiyos Upon this lancl a thousand tliousanda blessings, Wliieh time shall bring to ripene^ss. She sliall Ijo A pattern to all princes living with her, And all that shall succeed ; « ♦ * She sliall he to the happiness of England, An aged princess. Many days shall see her, And yet no day without a deed to crown it. Would I had known no more ! But she must die — A most unspotted lily shall she pass To the ground and all the worUl shall mourn her." Yableau XVIIT Represents Joan of Arc, the heroic Maid of Orleans, who has perhaps been alternately more bepraised and belittled than any other woman in history. Born a peasant maiden, whose tender years were passed in tending her father's flocks, she became animated by an exalted patriotism, and conceived herself specially inspired and divinely commis- sioned to effect the deliverance of her countiy from its English conquerors. She succeeded in impart- ing some of her enthasiasm to the French King Charles, and his disheartened followers succeeded in raising the siege of Orleans, and led them to many subsequent victories. She was finally taken prisoner bj' the Euglish, by whom she was con- demned as a sorceress and burned at the stake at Rouen, on the 13th of May, 1431. In the pageant she appears mounted on a white charger, clad in gleaming mail, her hair streaming over lier shoul- ders, her drawn sword in her right hand, and wav- ing in the other the banner of the _/!<«;• de li/s. " I>ivinest creature, bright Astrea's daughter. How shall I lienor thee for this success? Tliy promises are iii^e Adonis' gardens.

After being imprisoned eigh- teen years, she was tried by a Commission presided over by Burleigh, upon a charge of consjiiiing against the life of Elizabelh and pronounced guilt\'. On the 7th of February, 1587, the Earls of Kent aud Shrewsbury proceeded to Fotheringay Castle and informed the royal captive she must prepare to die at 8 o'clock the following morning. Denied the consolations of her own faith, .she was impor- tuned to abjure her religious beliefs, but steadfastly resisted to the end. The tableau .shows the doomed Queen of Scots dressed in dark robes, attended by a guard, and descending steps covered with black cloth, on her way to execution. The Earl of Shrewsbury, the Earl of Kent, the Dean of Peter- borough and several men-at-arms form the solemn procession. Stocking weaving was introduced into this coun- try in Pennsylvania, by German settlers. As early as 1733 stocking-weaving in this province is spoken of. Messrs. Dolan & Co., of Philadelphia, were the first to introduce the manufacture ol worsted shawls in the United States, in the j'ear 18G6. This firm employ 1.500 jjersons, produce annually two million dollars worth of goods, and are now the largest manufacturers of worsted suitings for men's wear in this country. tableau XX Represents one of the most illustrious women who ever graced a throne, Isabella, who, by her mar- riage to Ferdinand of Arragon, became Queen of Castile and Arragon. Though less famous in poetry and picture the more truthful muse of history pre- sents her to us as combining in an eminent degree the talents of Elizabeth aud the graces of Mary Stuart. She waged a relentless war against the Moors, and finally overthrew their kingdom in the south of Spain, which had resisted for seven hun- dred years. After the fall of Grenada she was finally induced by the importunities of Columbus to grant the daring voyager the assistance he required to prosecute his search for a New World. Next to the moment in which Isabella became the patroness aud coadjutrix of Columbus, the most memorable epoch of her life was that which witnessed his re- turn from his successful search for a western hemi- sphere ; and she received him in state at Barce- lona and listened to the recital of the history of his voyage. This is the incident in her career which is portrayed in the pageant. Isabella and Ferdinand are seated on the throne ; on one hand is a cardinal, in red hat and cloak, and on the other Prince .luan, who died within a few mouths of this period. In front of the throne stands Columbus unrolling a chart ; at his feet we see a heap of the curious pro- ductions of that wonderful land beyond the sea, and just behind him stand two Indians, whose pres- ence affords the clearest proof of the justness of his claim to have found a New World, since from it he has brought specimens of a new race of human beings.

The leading incidents in Jose- phine's marvelous career are too familiar to all lo require recapitulation in this connection. The car which closes this division of tlie pageant discovers two pictures, in which are portrayed the two ex- tremes of her r-ontrary fate. In one she appears as a playful, liglit -hearted child in ?ilartinique, clad in short skirts, and bending over her is the prophetic negress pouring into her ear the seeminglj- impos- sible prediction of her future grandeur. In the back- ground appears the throne, before which falls a filmy curtain. Through this veil we see indistinctlj-, and as in a dream, the Empress in her imperial robes, crowned and sceptcred,and seated upon Napoleon's blood-cemented throne. The Franklin stove, invented by Benjamin Franklin, was for sixty years the chief* stove in use in our country. The Governor of Pennsylvania oflcred him letters-patent for it which he refused, saying, "he was glad of an opportunity to serve others by an invention of his own, and this he de sired to do generously and freely." The Franklin stove is still a favorite one. The first patent for a nail machine, for heading and cutting nails at one operation, was granted in 1796 to Isaac Garretson, of Pennsylvania. The first Bible printed in America came "from the press of Christopher Sower, Sr., Germantown, in the present city of Philadelphia, 1743, and he also estaldished, in the same i)lace, a lype foundry. A copy of this Bible, with Sower's imprint appeared in the International Exhibition of 187G.

It looms upon the sight like some portentous meteor athwart the blue pathway of the stars. Instead of draught ani- mals, tlie motive power for this chariot of Krishwa is supplied by si.\ty devotees, religious fervor giving strength to their arms and fanatical enthusiasm lending speed to their feet. The Car is several sto- ries high, each ornamented with an artist's brush in all the brightest and warmest colors, and each cov- ered with all the gems and stones of which the lapi- dary has knowledge. On the topmost story stands an image of the Blue God, clad and decked as never was heathen Deity before. The dimensions of the Car are precisely those of the original, beneath the wheels of which so many votaries have cheerfully yielded up their lives. It is forty-three and one-half feet high, thirty -four and one-half feet square, and is mounted on si.\tecu wheels, each of which is si.\ and a-half feet in diameter. This is, in fact, but the introduction to the story of Rama and tlie incar- nation of Vishnu, the temple toward which the mil- lions who worship that divinity must turn to learn the wonderful religion the_y profess ; and as it moves off leaves the mind prepared for the actual opening of tlie Orieulal Illiad. ¥ableh.u XXIII Tells the spectator how the great Valmiki, the au- thor of the Ramaj-ana, received from Brahma the poet's inspiration. Accompanied by a juippet, Val- miki goes to the river Tamasa to bathe ; while there a hunter kills a male curlew, which is plaintively mourned by its mate. The sad notes attracted the attention of Valmiki, who exclaims : "No rest, for ever-circling years, Muyst thou, O lorester, obtain ! By wliose tell hand this liarmlcsa t)ircl, Wliile sporting with his mate, was slain." He was struck with the rhythm of hisiilmost un- conscious utterance, and while blooding over this novel achievement, and the event by which it was provoked, Brahma appears. Young palms, dates and other tropical growths are scattered over the surface of the ground, while rising in the rear is the dazzling throne of Brahma, from which that God with three faces looks solemnly down. Behind him hundreds of sun-discs make a background, against which, clad in imperial vestments, the God, more radiant than the suns, stands out in bold relief. On eitlier side stand Hindoo sphinxes ag guardians of the royal seat. The throne itself is one mass of gold and pearl and precious stones, which reflect the light in every hue and color. Valmiki, in a hermit's robe, stands in the foreground, amazed at the dazzling splendor of this sudden apparition of the all-powerful God, and reverently receives the divine gift of poesv, which was to be afterward given to the world in liis Ramayana.

I^c^bl ehn XXIY begins the recital of events indepeiulentof the poet, and sliows how the saintly aseetic, Rishyasrins, i' l)cj;;uilc'd from his hermitage. During the reign ft' Lomapad, King of the Angas, that monarch has l::'en guilty of some folly, in punishment for which il was decreed that his kingd(nii should be visited by a ten-iWe drought, and that no rain should fall upon the thirsty earth until the holy hermit. Risli- jasring, could he forced, induced or beguiled into visiting tlie land of the sufTering Angas. After mucli thought a plan was devi.sed to secure the boon whieli is represented in tliis picture. A vessel was built and launched upon the Ganges, which was dc'.xterouslj- covered witli carlli and grass, flowers and fruits and trees, 'mid wliich sported birds of liiilliant plumage and sweetest voice, giving it the appearance of a veritable floating island of delight. ?.Iaids of the rarest beauty of face and form were tlicn placed upon tlie island, disguised as anchorites, and flirough their wiles the unsuspecting hermit was lured into this secniinglv innocent bower of bliss and carried to the parching kingdom of Loma- pad, which at once regained its former verdure and prosperity. The floating garden is seen after its saintly passenger has been secured. On it plays a large fountain, from wliich we hear the murmur of gently fiilling waters ; the beautiful maidens, in an- chorite dresses, go through the figures of a fantastic dance before the bewildered hermit, who stands on an elevation near the stern beneath the overshadow- ing branches of tropical trees. There is color in everything, from the bright green of the trees to the rich crimson of the fruit and the glittering yellow of the gold ornaments of tlie vessel. Yilbl etiii XXV Is ' realistic representation of the Sacrifice of the Whue Ilorsc, a rite performed by the pious King Dasaratha to propitiate the Gods and obtain from their bounty a son and heir to his kingkom of Ayodhya. According to tlie poem, Dasaratha vis- ited Lomapad to induce tlie holy hermit, who had been beguiled into tlie kingdom of the Angas. to assist in the sacrificial ceremony in which he ^^■as about to engage, by feeding with holy oil the flames on the altar, this being ncces.sary to meet all the re- quirements of the solemn occasion. Dasaratha ob- tained his wish and the sacrifice was ofiercd with all the requisite forms and ceremonies, and is repre- sented in this tableau with singular fidelity to the poet's description. In the religion of Brahma all supports are required to lie octagonal, and here the lofty altar is sustained by jiosts of that character. Above all else is the holy vessel and receptacle for the blood of the .saci'ifice, and the high altar, all wrought in gold. Below this are the vessels into which the holy oil is distilled. Tlie pedestal is one mass of flowers and wreaths, and surrounding it are the animals used for the sacrifice. In front stands Queen Kau.salaya, sword in hand, and before her the white steed, the victim. The splendor of the altar, representing an eagle with wings of gold, sheds ad- ditional lustre upon all the surroundings. EST^^BT_,ISia:EID 1S27.

After many conflicts and wonderful exploits Rama accomplishes the total desti-uction of his adversaries, and, on his homeward journey, stops at the court of King Janaka, who possessed tlie wonderful bow of Siva, and had i^romised to I)estow his beautiful daughter Sita on whoever should succeed in bending the migbt_y weapon with which Siva had once conquered the gods. Rama not only bent the bow with ease, but broke it in the middle and won his peerless liride. The scene portrays the marriage ceremony in a triple-domed temple radiant in gold and brilliant colors. The roof is ornamented by a rich and lieavy cornice, on either side of which appears the ligure of a Brahmin deit}'. This roof is supported liy Indian columns with intricate capitals. The floor is raised six feet and is reached bj' a flight of stei)S on each side. Surrounding the temple is a garden filled with rare flowers and curious plants, la the centre of this temple stands an altar on which liiinis the sacred fire, surrounded by golden ladles. Tlie saint Vasishtha, assisted by Visvamitra and Salaiiimcla, officiate in the ceremony, clad in priestly rolies (if rich material and decked with jewels. Rama and Sita, royally attired, stand befori; the altar, while King Janaka and Queen Kausalaj'a smile beniguantly upon the happy pair. Festoons And wreaths of flowers, costly robes and flashing jewels combine to render this a jjicture of rare grace and beauty. • Represents tbe Council of the Gods and the doom pronounced upon Ravana. According to the poem, after the .sacrifice of the steed, the holy hcrinh im- plores the Gods to grant the longing of King Dasa- ratha, which they promise shall be done. The as- sembled Gods then implore Brahma to deliver them from the oppressions and persecutions of the mon- ster Ravana. Brahma informs them that their arch enemy has obtained bis (Brahma's) promise to guard his (Ravana's) life "from demon, God and heavenly bard," but the promise did not protect him from "man of woman born." Vishnu then ajipears, and in answer to the pleadings of the Gods consents to become incarnate. Queen Kausalaj'a, after drinking one-half of the divine essence of Vishnu, gives birth to a son, Rama, who becomes the destroyer of Ravana. In this tableau Brahma towers aloft, seated upon a huge Lotus flower, daz zling in rich garments and jewels, while just before him and beneath him appear the lesser gods, four in number, and just beneath them again is seen the animal's head, which is symbolic of each. This galaxy of divinities is seen seated on a throne sup- ported by clouds luminous with flames and the sun's bright rays. Above these clouds and facing the gf)d3, as if addressing them, is Vishnu, adorned witli wings, seated on his eagle, appareled as becomes an oriental deity, and "covered with glory like a flame."

Rama having been banished from his fatlier's king- dom for fourteen _vears. This banisliment lias been brouglit about by the intrigues of the king's second wife, Kaikcyi, the mother of Bahrata. She de- manded of Dasaratba the fulfillment of a promise, made her years before, to grant any two boons she might ask ; and asked as the first boon that Rama be banished fourteen years, and as tlie second that lier son Bahrata should reign during liis absence. Basai-atha hesitated, but Rama himself insisted upon his fallier redeeming his promise, and, despite the anguish of his father, the tears of bis mother and the protests of his people went into what was really a self-imposed exile. In the doorway of his lofty palace stands the grief-stricken Dasaratha with the jealous Queen Kaikeyi beside him and the successful Bahrata in the background. The portal is arched with the IMoorish horseshoe and supported by heavy columns. The graceful jialm tree shades the steps and rich plants flourish on either side. Seated in the depart- ing chariot, which fairly blazes with jewels and ornaments, are Rama and Sita, arrayed in royal robes sparkling with gem.s, with the faithful brother Lakshmana facing them. The chariot is drawn by three horses, driven by Sumantra, and is covered by a dome -capped canopy resting on pillars, and is elaboratel}- designed and beautifully finished. TiiK first steamboat that regularly ran upon an American river was " The Steamboat, " invented by John Fitch, and which plied 'on the Delaware be- tween Philadelphia and Burlington in the summer and autumn of 1790. John Fitch gave the first suc- cessful steamboat to the world. The oldest factory for the manufacture of saws in America is that of William Rowland, in Philadelphia, established in 1803. ^iibleku XXIX Shows the ci-ime uf Dasaratha, committed years before!, which is atoned for by the lianishmcnt ot Rama, leaving the King practically bereaved in his old age. The poem gives this account of the inci- dent. As soon as Rama departed, his aged father pined and drooped. On the seventh night he tells Kausalaya, Rama's mother, that in his youth, while hunting, be had accidentally killed a young hermit. The d3-ing boy reproached his slayer bitterlj' for bis ciirelessness, and sends for the parents who will be robbed of support by his death. Frenzied with grief, the old man dooms Dasaratha to sutTer in fu- ture a bereaved father's woe. The death of the young hermit, and the denunciation of the old father are portrayed in this picture. TVe see a jungle of Hindoostan with a flowing river in the foreground. Palm and date trees rear their heads above tlie undergrowth, and broad plantain 1 eaves afford refreshing shade. The wealth and luxuri- ousness of tropical vegetation appear on every side. Beside the stream lays the victinr of Dasaratba's fatal shot, his aged parents weeping above bis bod}' ; the horrified and mournful Dasaratha with bow and arrows, standing by his side.

The poem recites that in the forest of Dandalca, Rama was seen and loved bj' Surpanhaka, a sister of the monster Ravana. Her passion is not onl)' unre- quited, but -when, in a fit of jeahiusly, she attaclcs Sita, Lakshmana cuts off her ears and nose. Trans- ported witli rage she flies to her brother and art- fully inflames him with love for Rama's wife. Rav- ana takes advantage of the absence of Rama and Lakslimana, and carries Sita off in liis magic cliar- iot. Jatayu, a Vulture-King, friend to Rama, attempted to rescue her and was, fatally wounded in the struggle. Tlie chariot of Ravana is seen, drawn bj- wild asses, flying on rolling clouds. Its burnished sides are bright as flames and ornamented with jewels. A canopy of rarest workmanship .shades the seat. The front is in the shape of a dragon's head in gold. Sita stands beside lier abductor, Ravana, who is en- gaged in tlie deadly conflict witli tlie Vulture-King, which is illustrated ^)Y lurid flaslies of lightning from tlie clouds. S.\TispiED that steam could be successfully used in propelling locomotives. on railroads, the Balti- more and Ohio Co. offered a reward of $4000 for the best American locomotive. Phincas Davis, of York, Pa., won the prize, his engine being the only one of man}' that survived tlie trial. He used an upright tubular boiler. The first steam carriage company in America was formed by Col. Stephen Long, who, in 1830, obtain- ed a charter from the Legislature of Pennsylvania, for the "American Steam Carriage Co." He built a locomotive at Philadelphia, and it was put on the first two miles of rails laid by the New Castle and Frenchtwn railroad in Delaware. ^J'kbleku XXXI Informs us how Rama relieved Kabandha from the curse of Indra, and learns how Sita ma}' be res- cued. Finding Sita gone, Rama and Lakshmana start without delay to search for and rescue her. In their travels they meet Kabandha, who had once been the most beautiful of mortals, but had been doomed by Indra to retain a monstrous visage and form until Rama should cleave away both of liis arms and place him on a funeral pyre, when his former beauty should be restored. In the conflict which ensued, Rama did cut qK his arms and placed him on a funeral pyre. Kabandha arose from the flames resplendent in beauty and gorgeously clothed, and instructed them to seek Sugriva, "Lord of the Vanars," through whose protection and assistance their search wouhl be successful. In the tableau Kabandha stands erect on a charicii of gold, drawn by swans, which rises from the smoke and flames of the pyre. This chariot is superb in its glories. Its front is a gilded dragon's head, and the body is of broad leaves of precious metals. The wheels gleam with gold and jewels, and twisting out in the rear a dragon's tail sweeps in circles, and strands of jiearl and coral beads are gracefull}- looped from the bills of the swans, M'hose gleaming whiteness is almost painful to the eye. Kabandha in his ascension is robed in royal and resplendent attire, the jewels on which flash and buru in the light of the smoking p}i'e.

'ri.Wekti XXXII Dtpicts the CDronaliim of the Royal Ape, Sugriva. rui-suiiig their search for Sita, Rama and Laksh- iiiana came to the wood of Rishyamuka, where they found Surgriva. He told his visitors of the unhappiness of liis life, caused by tlie persecutions of his brotlior Bali, King of the Monkeys. Rama killed Bali and had Sugriva crowned in his stead, and the vast host of Vanars was organized into companies sent out to scour the country in search of Sita, one of the companies being under the com- mand of Ilanuman, "son of the wind." This is one of the most gorgeous pictures of the entire pageant. Perched aloft on a throne sits the Royal Ape Sugriva, tlie imperial crown upon his head. Overhead he is sheltered by a canopy of gold supported by wonderfully wrought pil- lars, wliile a grove of palms rustles in the back- ground, Around the throne are cushions of gold and blue clotli. From the pilasters, sweeping down to the front, hang garlands of rarest flowers, while the dais supporting the throne is surrounded by luxuriant Eastern plants. A flight of seven steps, covered with blue and gold clotlis, leads to the throne, beside which stands Rama congratula- ting the newly crowned king. An apisli herald is seated in front proclaiming the news of the coro- nation, which is joyfully hailed by the follow- ers of Sugriva below. The national coinage of gold and silver, with copper, was begun in the United States, in the year 1794, at the National Mint in Philadelphia. This was tlie only mint until 1835. David Rittenhouse was the first Director. Ptu-celain ware was first made in tiiis country by Mr. Tucker, in Philadel- pliia, from kaolin found in Chester county, Pa. ^iiMe^u XXXIII Discloses Sita imprisoned in the Asoka grove on the Island of Lanka. After protracted and unsuccessful search, the Vanars were about to despair of ever finding Sita when they met Sampati — a vulture-king, brotherlo Jatayn who lost his life in the attempt to rescue Sita at the time of her abduction — who tells them the missing wife is imprisoned in the Island of Lanka beyond the sea. After some debate it was decided that Hanuman shall ojien communication witli the cap- tive by leaping from the seashore to the island. This extraordinary feat was successfully accom- plished, and, having satisfied himself of Sita's fidel- ity and purity, Ilanuman gave Sita a token from her husband and received one in return. This tableau is as gorgeous as a scene from the Arabian Nights. A palace supported by four col- umns and surmounted by a dome and four minarets first catclies the eye. A coral grotto brilliant with stalactites surrounds tlie palace through which the transparent waters of the sea are seen in perspective A flush as of sunset pervades the scene, and is re- flected in the crystal pavement which is inlaid with costly gems. The steps leading to the palace ap- pear like coral and the towers gleam and shine re- splendently. The garden surrounding the palace is one mass of shrubs, vines and blooming flowers, above which the asoka trees lift their turbaned heads. Sita stands in front of this wonderful edifice exclianging tokens with the remarkable monkey, Ilanuman. F. LOUIS ALLEN, 1406 CHESTls^UT STRiillH^T, PHILADELPHIA.

Ravana having been vanquished, Rama received Sita very coldly, and desired her to show herself unpolluted before his whole army. Overwhelmed and indignant Sita had her funeral pyre erected and called upon the Lord of Fire to vindicate her impugned honor. Throwing herself upon the pj're the flames played gently around her as if caressing. The Fire God Ijecamo embodied, and raising Sita restored her to Rama free from blot or blemish. Surrounded by rising flames stands Sita unscathed by their touch. The whole scene is one mass of fire. On a blue ram we see Angni, the Fire God, protecting the pure wife. Extract from Historical Paper, Read May 1, 1SS2, hy Frederick D. Stone, of the P. II. S., Philada. In the London Gazette, No. 17.j2. from Thursday, August 31, to Monday, September 4, 1G83, we find tlie following : Deal, Aug. 30. There are now about 30 sail of Merchant Ships in the Downs outward bound. Two or three arc bound for Pensilvania. In next issue of the same paper from Moud.ay, September 4, to Thursday, 7, 1083, wc find : Deal, Sep. 3. Two days since sailed out of the DowHSjhrce ships bound for Pensilvania, on board of which was Mr. Pen with a great many Quakers, who go to settle there. ¥iibleiiu XXXVII Closes the whole series and the pageant with a rep- resentation of Sita's descent into the earth. Rama having returned with his rescued wife to Ayodhya and taken possession of his throne, found that Sita's good name was still pursued by slander- ous tongues, and, though he knew her to be entirelj' blameless, determined to "put her away." He therefore directed the obedient Lakslunana to take her to the hermit's grove on the banks of the Gan- ges, where she had expressed a desire to go, and leave her, " for he will see her face no more." She was received by Valmiki himself with every honor, and, when her two sons were born, he devoted him- self to their education, teaching them, among other things, to recite tlie Ramayana. When, after the lapse of years, Rama decided to celebrate liimself the .sacrifice of the white horse, Valmiki and liis pupils attended tlic ceremony, during which the two princes recited to their fatlier the account of his own achievements. Inquiry revealed the secret of their parentage, and Rama invited Sita to reaffirm lier in- nocence before the vast assemblage. She was unwilling to go througli this second ordeal luid prayed to the Goddess of Earth to grant her a hid- ing place. In response to her prayer Madliavi ap- peared, and, placing Sita on the throne beside licr, they descended to Hades together, a continuous shower of flowers falling on her head. Beneath a liigh canopy sits Madhavi, tlie Goddess of Earlli, on a tlirone of rare beauty, the back being composed of pearls, lazulite, rubies, emeralds and other gems skillfully and tastefully wrought into the structui-e. The throne rests upon an open lotus flower, and around it are several lotus buds. Sita stands before her in royal robes, queenly to the last. 1825. THIE 1882.

FEjijl'^ p£I^EV/ELL LE'l'O'E^ To ?iis Wi/c ami Children br/ore going to America. *-My Dear wife and children, "My love, which neither sea, nor land, nor death it- self can extintiuisli or lessen toward yon, most endear- edly visits you with eternal embraces, and will abide with you for ever: and may the God of my life watch over you, and bless you, and do you good in this world and for ever! Some things are upon my spirit to leave with you in your respective capacities, as I am to one a husband, and to the rest a father, if I should never see you more in this world, " My dear wife ! remember thou wast the love of my youth, and much the joy of my life ; the most beloved, as well as most worthy of all my earthly comforts: and the reason of that love was more thy inward than thy outward excellencies, which yet were many. God knows, and thou knowest it, I can say it was a match of Providence's making; and God's image in us both was the first thing, and the most amiable and engaging ornament in our eyes. Now I am to leave thee, and that without knowing whether I shall ever see thee moi'e in this world, take my counsel into thy bosom, and let it dwell with thee in my stead while thou livest. ****** ***#*!! '* And as for you, who are likely to be concerned in the government of Pennsylvania and my parts of East Jersey, especially the first, I do charge you before the Lord God and his holy angels, that you be lowly, dili- gent and tender, fearing God, loving the people, and hating covetousncss. Let justice have its impartial course, and the law free passage. Though to your loss, protect no man against it; for you are not above the law, but the law above you. Live tlierefore the lives yourselves you would have the people live, and then you have right and boldness to punish the transgres- sor. Keep u]>on the square, for God sees you : therefore do your duty, and be sure you see with your own eyes, and hear with your own ears. Kntertaiu no lurchers, cherish no informers for gain or revenge ; use no tricks; fly to no devices to support or cover injustice; but let your hearts be upright before the Lord, trusting in him above the contrivances of men, and none shall be able to hurt or supplant. •' Oh ! the Lord is a strong God, and he can do what- Boever he pleases; and though men consider it not, it is the Lord that rules and over-rules in the kingdoms of men, and he builds up and pulls down. I, your father, nm the man tiiat can say. He that trusts in the Lord shall not be confounded. But God, in due lime, will make his enemies be at peace with him. "If you thus beliave yourselves, and so become a ter- ror to evil doers and a praise to them that do well, God, my God, will be with you in wisdom and a sound mind, and make you blessed instruments in his hand fw out of kindred and as cold as strangers; but, as becomes a truly natural and Christian stock, you and yours after you may live in the pure aud fer- vent love of God towards one another, as becometh brethren in the spiritual and natural relation. "So, my (iod, that hath blessed me with his abun- dant mercies, both of this and the other and better lite, be with you all, guide you by his counsel, bless you, and bring you to his eteriial glory ! that you nuiy shine, my dear children, in the firmament of God's power with tiie blessed spirits of the just, that celestial family, praising and admiring him, the God and Fatlier of it, for ever. For there is no (iod like unto him : tlie God of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of the Prophets, the Apostles, and Martyrs of Jesus, in whom I live for ever. *'So farewell to my thrice dearly beloved wife and children! " Yours, as God plcaseth, in that wliicli nowaters can quench, no time forget, nor distance wear away, but remains for ever, " William Penn. ** Woriniughurst, fourth of sixth month:' 1682.

PROVIDENT LIFE AND TRUST COMPANY OF PHILADELPHIA. II IS A STROJ^G COMPAJ\''Y. In addition to the usual accumulations of a Life Insur- ance Company, it has a capital of $1,000,000. Of this, $500,000 has been paid, up for a number of years, and the balance will be paid in installments during 1882 and, 1883. This is further augmented, by a contingent fund of nearly $4.00,000. The Company therefore presents an additional security of $1,400,000. Tlie advantages resulting from the peculiar organization of this Company have never been attained, in any other Life Insurance Company. The Union of its Trust business with its Insurance business, secures to the latter the superior conditions of safety of the former. ROWLAND PARRY, SAMUEL R. SHIPLEY, President. Actuary, ASA S.
