says in a letter, to the Cincinnati CUM

a severe prod in the brisket. As Gov
ernor Geary has gone back on Useless,
we do not feel disposed, just now, to
ridoude hon. We, therelbre, publish
what the Iton says, under protest,:
ilovernor Henry's message is a de
elaration of war against the aduaintm
tritim. Pentittyl rania does not get her
seat in the en?oriet. The long pending
negotiations have conic to naught, and
the Keystone State is on the war-path
I do not believe in bayonets at the bal
Ittt box, nor do I belie% e mach in the
sincerity of the Pennsylvania politician,
who has done all that he could to
bring about such interference, anti then
suddenly grows virtuous and titters de
nunciations.
This is the Governor Geary who dis
tinguished himself in the artistic line
some time since. When (Rented Gov
ernor, lie found in the State 1-101188 at
Harrisburg, a bugs loi of canvass filled
with a picture that purported to be
M'Clellan and hie Generals. Th.
great Geary was tibt there, but. Gervais'
Pope was; so what ttbes the irurnalal
Brigadier of a General do, but litre
another artist and hare Pope's face
painted out and his own intellectual
conteriance inserted. ' Pope's body,
Pope's hat, Pope's legs are tbere, but
the face 'tithe face of Geary, and this
beats the double-headed girl and the
double-headed baby. It is as mon..

boose that usually anchors near the
Bush House, and for a governmental

V. Railroad. Then, if you have any
desire to travel further and fare worse,
you can do an we did, jump on the
train hentleil for Tyrone. When we
arrived at the laUer place, we called
upon the irreprehmible Brainerd, who
runs tharirrepressible, wide-awalce pa
per, the Herobi, and Tyrone rity. We
found both him and his Nuttier at their
office 'with coats off and sleeves rolled
up and as busy as tilet insect in report

hoards it up for the lieulit of others,
but nary time using any of it itself.

with diver- wood ems, army commis

In passing through Altoona we call

we were soon on hoard the "liglktning

where we arrived at an early hour in
the morning
business in l'lttfaitlrg is said to be I
dull, and I think it is true, as nearly
every other. building has a placard on
it "To Let." We uiterviewed nearly
all the prominent places in the city
and failed to discover anything start

teneively, kith day and night, as he
ing much cheaper than daylight.
We called at the office or The Paper
and found it to be perfect in all its de
partinents as a first-class printing of
fice, and learned that its popularity
wan ineretvong every day.
This much we hail written, when an
or-cu rreucr took place which will prob

the parlor of the St. Jariii:s, near the
witching hour of Midnight, a gentle
man approached Ane, wrapped in a
heavy cloak, Rlllll . asked me if I was
fond of new inventions. I replied in
the affirmative ii? then informed toe
that for the last forty years he had
been diligently con‘tructing air engine
and a railroad to the moon, and that
he had succeeded in amonplimlitrig his
long cherished object Ile also in
Mrined Me that his engine would car

him he would exhibit to nie one of the
greatest wonders of this wonderful age,
I signified my assent and he bade nie
follow him. We traversed back streets
and dark alleys until we , Carrie to the

who never slackened his pace until we
had reached the highest point of Itir
iningliain heights. Ity this time the
city cluck had tolled the hour of one
o'clock in the morning. My friend ap
peared to be greatly excited, his great
client heaved, and an nosiiatura/ light
flashed from hie piercing dark eyes,
and huge streams of perspiration trick
led down his care-worn lace, which ap
peared to be lit up with supernatural
tire. Ile sours foued the little house
in which be lied !rased his little en
gine, and then leading me a short dis
tance he showed me hie rail-road
track, which was probably one and one
half milea in length. lie bade me as
sist him in getting his car on the track,
which command I dared not refuse.
Ile then placed me on the engine and
seated himself by my side and opened
the throttle of the valve arid the ma

we reached the end of the track, when

flew to the other end of the track,which
continued running backwards and

get up speed sufficient to run on
the air rails he had laid from the k
end of hie iron traok to the moon.
I begged him to lot me get oft' his train

termed it. Meanwhile we 'had been
running backwards and fbrwards on

to cleave through the air, and my

safely irsvelidg on hie air line IL

planet.

out his log book and made the discov

attraction of the sun and of the Moon,
he had made a mistake of fifteen mil.
lions of miles in laying his air railroad,
and that in consequence of that 11118
take, we were now within the mime

tinually keep circling around it, and at
the completion of each circle approach
nearer the great luminary, until by its
own inherent attraction we would be
drawn into it, the itlinie as all other

A Sundsy Sensation
A little episode occurred in the Luth
eran church of this place oil Sunday
night last, which is worth mentioning.
As the etening service was about to
close, the pit tor, Rev. J. 11. Brown,
took occasion to admonish his congre
gation against attending the Exhibi
tions given in the Town Hall by Alice
Gilmore's; Female Minstrel Troupe,and
iii Ills remarks denounced the show as
a low, vulgar, or indecent concern. It
so happened that halilt dozen of the
members of the Troupe were present,
and no sooner had Mr. Brown conclud
ed,than tip jumps one of the showmen,
Wbo, after apologizing for the interrup
tion, stated that he felt it his bounded
duty then find there to deny the
imputations made against. the Troupe
by the Pastor. The company, behold,
wits a proper one, and tlfe performance
not only decent, but entirely moral in
all its IlppOlrlitbentil: "Moreover,"
said the showman, "I am a member of
church myself, and I know of no
wrong I do in belonging to this show."
Of course, such a digression (rain the
usual order of things, created an im•
mense sensation, and various outbursts
of pentir nen t were !node all over tho
church One member told the minis
ter not to get excited, whilst others
commanded the showman to sit clown
The whole affair, however, was over in
a few minutes, for the showman, af
ter "saying his say," quietly resumed
his seat. But the town had something
to talk about the next day, and the ef
fect of sorb conspicuous advertising
was, the Town Hall at Monday night's
exhibition was full to overflowing,
We hue no comments; to make up
on the affair, save thisl Before a min
ister makes a personal attack upon a
particular show, he ought to go and
see it himself, awl not trust to "they
say" or hear say for information in re
spect to its character. - Lewistown
