A MAN OF VIE PEOPLE
"Mr. Parker, will you ride dowyt 1"
attid thr ~ritr.oo.. driver, reiniuz tip to
Lho ri , Jticed th,7great
man with his satchel headed toward the
depot.
"No, 1 thank you ; I can walk," was
the reply
"Better hurry, then,"said thadther;
"time's most up."
"oh, I'll catch the train : there f a ten
minutes yet."
"Judge, let, nut carry your ailtelltel,"
soh' the pompous country squire, Push,
frig up and clutching the baggage of the
great MAIL
"Oh, no r I can carry it. It ain't
heavy," replied, Asa Packer;
but the
bag, nevertheless, was wrenchei) from
his hand.
"Ott again, Judge 7" said the affable
merchant as be rushed out from, his
store to shale hands with the domestic
stranger.
"Yes ; I have got to run up the road
apiece "
"Well, good lurk to you."
"Judge Packer," said I, abandoning
all expectation of securing a more favo
rable opportunity, "I have made a dili
gent search for you, and run a long
chase after you, but I do not see as I can
run you down in private. Here is a
note that will both introduce mo and
explain my visit." 1 banded the great
man a latter with which I had been fa
vored by a personal friend of the roan
of mark.
The Judge—why he is called "Judge"
I do not know—read the letter earolully
Ho pondered over it. Ile studied it
He seemed to be weighing the words of
which it was comp.sod Ito
seemed to be Patkfied with lt, and turn
ing a smiling face upon toe he said :
"I HID in some what of of a hurry to
retch the 12 o'clock train It lacks ten
Orioles of the time now. If you will
walk to the depot with me Wo can talk
on the way."
Now, the distance from the centre of
the town of Mauch ('hunk to the depet
of lire Lehigh Valley road 11..T10t very
great, nor is ten minutes much tone in
which to discuss the great political
questions of the day But as "half
loaf is better than no bread," I Accepted
the propodtem with thanks, determinol
to make the most of the tipportunity, at
the same time dispatching a messenger
to my hotel with a bank note to liqui
date my bill, and an order for my satch
el, so as to be prepared to follow up the
opportunity if it promised well

"How far north err you Going,

he replied
"How far can I izo on this train and

"To Wilkesbarret"

"Abmit three hours "
"Very wi , ll, then 1';1 get nn the

"Ac you please," replied the Judge,
"we'll get aboard at once then," and
.oiling the netion to the word, we were
both puoi seated in a comfortably filled
ear, though we were fortunate in Rom

a parting shriek, the breaks were un

official acts of an administration are le

Reporter—What are the leading fee.
tures of Governor Genry's administra
tion with which you take Imo° 7
Judge Parker—The financial policy
of that administration has not tondo 1 to
strengthen the credit of the State to the
extent it might have done, as the reports
of the State Treasurer during the net
three repro, in the item of receipts,
show that at lout twice the amount of
public debt might have been liquidated
(Pat has been. The largo balance re.
maining in the Treasury from year to
year, amounting to about two millions
of dollars, should have boon appropria
ttsl to the payment of so mueli of the
public debt. All well, conducted and
successful corporations, as fir julienne,

opinion the financial affairs of the Com

,the same principle that should gov

possessed of large means would be ( toe
sidered wise or sagacious did he alloW
any considerahle portion of his money
to pia idle in his bands. Such a policy
is not merely open to censure upon busi

junctions of the Scripture,that Nye shonld
make diligent use of the means intrusted

Judge Parker (smiling) Now you
are taking me from Pennsylvania over
to Chula. But I have no hesitation in
saying that I think the introduction of
the labor you refer to would pauperize
the white labor of the country. While
our White labor is laud so poorly at
the best, the influx of such a race as the
Chinese would be most disastrous The
'introduction of such a race among our
white laborers would deprive labor of
its dignity by lessening its fair remu
neration,breed polituad dissensions more
serious than those created by the Afri
can race, and set up a religious system
utterly at variance With the prevalent
Christian sentiment of the country. I
do not look upon this question simply
as the introduction of Chinamen here
and thereto ordinary emigrants, - but as
concerted and systematized move
ment to supplant the while labor of the
country. Against such efforts the
civilized and christianized white race
of this_count ry should unitedly pro
test.

" But when can I see you again ?" I

TIIK MAN OF NIAIiK IN HIS HOME
It was several days before we met
again. The great HUM was called hith
er and thither utter disregard of his
own convenience or his appointment
with me. At last I found him alone in his
convenient library at Mauch ()hunk,
enjoying a Saturday evening with his
books and his private filfrair9 I hesita
ted co disturb this unusual quietness,
but he pleasantly bade me enter and be
seated, apologizing for the unexpected
ly protracted interruption in our inter
view
" But," ho added, I can compensate
yOU for it now by promising an

Sun or the world will ho greatly hone-
Mod by any idea, I may liars to offer,
but if lhore ars any other topiei you

I read over to him the commencement
of our conversation, as given above,
which seemed to meet his approval as
correctly reported. "Now, whet fur
