The Exercise* Witnessed by Over §00,000 People. TheijUoerif ennlal of the landing of William Penn in Pennsylvania was celebrated by the people of Philadelphia in an imposing man­ ner, the festivities running through nearly an entire week, and being witnessed by hundreds of thousjands of strangers from abroad. The ceremon es opened at "Ches­ ter, a suburb of the Quaker City, on Sun­ day, Oct '-Si, when the Society of Quakers assembled in large numbers. A letter from John G. Whittier was read, inclosing a po m which he wrote sixty years ago. Addresses were delivered by A fred H. Line, Presi­ dent of the Pennsvlvania Peace Society, and John M. Broomall, of Medina, Ohio. On Monday, at 2:30 there was a l epresentat on, at Chester, of the landing of Wilbam Penn and his partv, which was witnessed by SM).0U) people. The landing was made at the exact spot where, 'AI0 years before, the great Quaker first put his foot upon Ameri­ can so l. Thousands of human throats, nu­ merous church bells, and an aggregation of steam whistles, greeted his advent, and the enthusiasm was unbounded. Later a mon­ ster meeting w.is held, at which 'J, (X) chil­ dren sang "My Country. 'Tis of Thee," and speeches were delivered by Gov. Hoyt and J hn M Broomall, who sketched I'- nn's career in a masterly hand. A gre.it parade in the afternoon and a br lliant display of fireworks in the evening brought the day's celebration to a close. On I uesday, ihe 124th, the testlvities, opened in Philadelphia, ana lasted until Friday evening. First came the land nj' oi Pentu which was witnessed by a vast thr ng es unate.l at over 5 >0,0 0 people. A disput h from .hat citv says: "As eivlv as midnight last nigut people began to take available space in the neighborhood, and hundreds remained out all night so as to be on hand. This mornim? when the sun broke tnrough the ra n-th eatcning clouds the streets were blocked for several i-qua- es. 8o dense was the throng that men and women were- trampled on and nearly crushed to death, »nd a • dozen or more people were pushed off the dock, in the Delaware and got a thorough ducking. All of them were re-cued, however. While the dense mass awaited the landing the r ver preseut-M a beautiful appe:urance. Evry t-hip for miles along the river front was d«cked but in rvoliaay attire. Tugs and steamers darted about, loaded down to the water's edge. They met the Welsome sev­ eral miles below the city, and the procession of tugrs and steamers up to the w arf made a striking- and pretty pictura As the pro­ cession came in sight the United States men- of-war belched forth a welcome, and scores of whistles added to the clamor.

They shook hands with more Dutch and Quakers and tl.eu the little proce-sion fought us way through the crowd to the historical Blue Anchor Inn, and was subsequently escorted to Broad street .Tnd given a pi ace in the great procesMon which started at 11:80 and h!i:d ti-e streets for nearly five hours. The pro­ cession moved from Broad to Chestnut, to Th-rd, up Third to Market out Market to Broad and out Broad to Columbia avenue, where it wa* dismis-ed. Never was such a scene witnessed. For five hours horse oars were blocked, and all streets except those along the line of march were deserted. The column moved along Chestnut between two high walls of bunting and gay iiaus, while windows and roof-tops and stagings were fill d Thousands of peop e poured into the city from all over the State, and all along the route they were packed 1 ke sardines in a box. it is estimated t at 500,000 people from outride the citv limits witnessed the parade, in which 25,000 men took part To­ day was the civic parade, and, with the ex­ ception of the marines, no troops took part The police and firemen and letter-carriers weie followed by officials in carriages, 3,5 0 members of the Improved Order of Red Men, hosts of firemen from other c ties, with Iheir machines, 1,300 butcher*, mount* d and in wagons, and the Total Abstinence luid other societies.

The fair Juliet, who, once seen, could never be forgotten, stepped be­ fore the curtain, and when the applause subsided said: "I am sorry I am going away l'rom America. I shall be absent two years.

N«il' WILD WOMM. A North Carolina Cannibal That Feeds on Babies. A Tale Like the Stories Told in the Forests of the Old ̂ ; Country. v> " fCharlotte (N. C.) Telegram to Chioago Tribune.] For months past th re have < een rumors of a terrible apparition, which has terror­ ized all the women and children in C ear Creek town-hip. The women say that for two weeks they have been subject to terri­ fying visits in the absence of their husbands from a creature like a shiny, black negress, with long hair and gleaming eyes. She asks in hardly distinguishable gibberish for a liaby to eat, and makes efforts to get hold of the children. The men, gettinar tired of the fears of tiheir wives, determined to try and cat h the < reature, and for the last week crowds of farmers have been daily and nigh Iv chasing her without succesa The first effort to catch her was made a week ago by John Roberts, a blacksmith. The wild creature had appeared several times at a fire which it was the habit of Carey Moore (colored) of the neighborhood to light after dark in the yard of ha house for the preparation of his mealav Roberts w s put to watch her, and Bhe appeared even before the flames were well kindled Mie presented such a wild look in the haif- llght, and asked for food in such wild fash­ ion, that Roberts was demoralize ). He re­ covered, however, made an "outcry, and attempt'*! to seize tiie woman, but she slit ped through hi* hands, and disappeared in the dark shadows of the woods. Tuesday morning Maj. Stephen Cowell caught sk'ht ol the creature, and ohased her across an open Held. He was badly hurt in his efforts to keep up with her, and'reported that she outran a buck, and cleared four corn-rows at a leap. That same night she was again enticed from the woods by the k ndling of a fire, and was chased by thirty men without Buocesa Capt Marsti Allen, later in the dav, lhet her in the neighborhood with her face torn and bleeding, and a long bloody knife in her hand '1 he crcature was naked and so unearthly and terr.file-looking to him thiit he say* he is not sure it is a hu­ man being. Her "hair reached almost to her feet, and was kinky like that of the African. It is not mere fright which has caused the country people to organize in their attempts to catch the creature, which has been living in the forest and swamp fastnesses for a year or more. Some months apo it is reported an infant was spirited away from its parents' yard while they were in the corn-field, and 'was never heard ftrom. and the disappearance was from that section of the country in which the wi d woman has been seen, and mothers, white and black, are in terror for fear their little one- may also become food lor the cannibal negrei-s. Yesterday the farmers, Kome mounted and others on toot, assembled ior the put pose of surrounding a swamp in which the creature 's known to he hid. There tire 400 men ready for the chase. At tirst it was attempted to run her down with bloodhounds, but they refused to chase her, vrliich deepened the superstitious feeling with which the men as wed as the women of the community began to regard her. 1toe men made the attempt to catch her, but without success.

Report of the Commissioner cf Patests. Commissioner Marble, of the Patent Offloe, has submit e t hi* aniiual report to the Sec­ retary of the lute: ior. During the past fis­ cal year, 8 V;d"2 applications for patents, reg­ istration of trade-marks, labe's, and rels- w;o patents were received. Of these 17,T1 ii pa>.euts were irranted and 1,709 trade-marks registered. The total reoeipts of the office from all sources w re fl*50,8<54, and the ex* penditures £651,710, Jeavng a surplus o' • 79.144. The Commissioner calls attention to the section of the Revised Statutes which provides tibat "every paient granted for an invention which his been previously pat­ ented in a foreign country shall be so limited as to expire at the same time with the foreign patent, and to the fact that uncertainty ex­ ist* as to tbe term of foreign patents, be­ cause of the conditions on which thev are issued. The report says: "In my opinion ttie terms of patents issued by thu oftSee should not be rendered un­ certain by the operation of the laws of any foreign country nor by the failure of the paten&ees or their assign­ ees to do what such law requires. In view of the fact that the terms Jor which pat­ ents may be granted in foreign countries are shorter than for which they may be origin­ ally granted in this country, I think that twelve years would be a proper term for patents where the invention has first been patented or patent applied for in a foreism country, and that the applicant should file hW application within two years after the Issuance of such patent or application there­ for. Attention is also dir-cted to a decision of the 8upreme Court of the District that the Comm'ssioner of Patents has no discretion In the registra­ tion of labels, but if an applicant comes with a trade-mark, calls it a label, and asks for its registration and pays the fees re­ quired by law for the registration'of a label. It is rite r'uty of the Commissioner to cause It to be resist red. The Commissioner savs. if the decision of the court is to lie followed, leuislat on should be had which will remove every question of doubt in relation to *uch regis­ tration. About Bonnets. . A Par's husl and, plagued by his wife to buy a new bonnet, strolled into a salesroom, and, by-way of a joke, pur­ chased a bonnet of a very old date. He took it home to his wife and she drew from its crown a piece of paper which proved to be a bond for 500 francs. Thi# is a strong argument in favor of husbands buying their wives old-style bonnets. Although another bond might not be found in 100 years, the fact that such bonnets come cheaper than the new style strongly recommends the scheme. --Korrislown Herald. $HE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS* Elections are to be held in thirty-three States of the Union on Tuesday, the 7th of November.

Commissioner Price, of the Indian Bureau, In his annual report to the Secretary of the Interior for the fiscal year ended June .SO, 1883, says: "Land has been opened to culti­ vation, houses for Indian residences built, schools opened and operated, and in many cases and in various ways the cauBe or civilisation generally advanced. The difficulty of procuring Agents of the right stamp is regarded as one of the most import nt causes which operate to re­ tard the improvement of the Indiana " The co-operation of the religious societies is re­ garded by the Commissioner as a very im­ portant auxiliary in the civilization of the Indians, and he points to the benefits derived from their work during the past few years. The present appropriations are regarded as ent rely too t-maJl • o compass ends to be ob­ tained with in a reasonable time. The Commis­ sioner says: "If $l,iKK',000 for educational pur­ poses given now will save several millions in future, it is wise economy to give that million at once, and not dole it out in small sums that do but little good." The evils of cash annuities are commented upon, and an instance given where, after a cash payment to the Utes, $2,000 were spent for firearms, ammunition and whisky in Salt Lake City, and in a short time nine-tenths of the payment went in the same direction. The funds appropriated by Congress in the regular appropriation bill for the support of the Indians proved ent rely insufficient, mainly owing to the high price of b ef and flour. The total number of Indians in the United States exclusive of Alaska is 2<fcJ,866. Tbe Commissioner comments in severe terms upon the iniquity of the liquor traffic among tne Indians, aud quotes m-iny instances of trouble arisinar from it He recommends greater stringency in the laws on the subtect, and says those sections of the statutes which aUlow army officers to introduce liquor into the Indian coun ry should be re­ pealed. The report declares there is urgent necessity for additional legis­ lation to prevent intrusion upon Indian landa Exclusive of the live civilized tr hes, the who e number of Indian pupils attending school the past year has been 8,5t;8. Of the-e 468 were in attendance at the Carlisle, Hampton and Forest Grove training- schools. Of the remainder. 4,510 attended reservation boar tag-schools and 3,1W reservation day schoola The average atxeiulance tor the year was 5.249. Indus­ trial training if carried on at agency board­ ing-schools, and is receiving more ami more attention each year. In oonnection with lilty-seven schoo s. l,4eft acres are under cultivation. Mack smithing, tailoring and harnes making are taught at four schoola Seven t. ach shoemuking, tea carpentering, and fifte n r ;.sing and oare of MO k. Train­ ing in Vese bra.* hes is greatly stimulated bv the BUOOO H of experiments at Carlisle, llampton and Forest > rove. An apiirojv lo­ tion of notions tn>uii $50,00' should be made by Congress a: its liext session to properly equip the exiti ng agency schools fwr indus­ trial work. The whole number ef schools in operation is 101, or five less than last year. The Masher. "Is lie a rare bird ?" "He is that. The species used to be so plenty that every city had them by the score, but of late years the Fool Killer has got in his work so well that only about a dozen mashers can now be found in the whole United States." "He has a sweet look." "Certainly; he has stood before the glass for hours to practice on that look. When he partsi his hair in the centre, waxes his little moustache and takes his dear little cane in hand for a walk on the streets, lie calculates that sweet look will knock down every sec­ ond lady he meets." "His plumage is very fine." "Oil, yes! The Masher always gets the best, because he beats his tailor and leaves his washwoman to sing for liter money.'! / "Is he a \lftluable bird ?" ' "His carcass is valued from two to five cents per pound, according to the price of soap." "Then the species will soon become extinct?" ' , "Yes, in a few short vearsthe Masher will be known on earth no more. The Smithsonian Institute and two or three medical college^ will have specimens preserved in alcohol and skeletons on exhibition, and old grav-hetfflcd men Will have a dim recollection of having once seen the animals promenading the ISftrth." # • - DREADFUL MOMENT. ^ ^ ' • . , .

When the excitement follow ng the explo­ sion had eomewhut abated ambulances were summoned and the iniured removed to a neighboring hospital. Mrs. Dav s Cookley, ag d years, who was nearest the mortar, was struck on the right side of the head and instantly killed, a piece of the iron carrying away part of her jaw. A colored infant'was torft from the arms of its mother and killed. John Cannon, aged H5 years, had his skull crushed in, and died in te n minutes. A.
