GOVERNOR’S MESSAGE. many excellent suggestions made by that officer. I commend to your earnest considera tion the suggestion made by the .Surgeon General in his report, herewith trans mitted, on the propriety of legislation for the protection of our people, by pro per sanatory measures, from the ravages of the cholera, which is now approach ing our shores. I commend to the wisdom of the Leg islature the subject of providing for the felief of our many manned and wound fid soldiers. Possibly this might be done by continuing and enlarging the acts providing for hoards of relief in the sev eral counties. I recommend the adop tion by the Legislature of thig or some other plan for doing justice to the class of men in question. By the joint resolution of May 10, 1801, authorizing me to give flags to our regiments, it was made the duly of the Executive to receive the flags when the regiments returned. This has not been hitherto done, inasmuch ns they have not yet all been mustered out. As soon as this shall have taken place, the flags will be received with appropriate ceremonies, and I recommend that the Legislature make provision for causing them to be hung in the new Library. I refer to the suggestion of Brigadier General Todd, Inspector General, on the subject of the militia. I am not prepared to make any recommendation on this subject, as I observe, with great pleasure, that Congress is proposing to establish a uniform system throughout the United States. The arsenal at Harrisburg is decaying and unsafe. The arms and munitions of the State there deposited are of the value; probably, of half a million of dollars. I recommend that provision be made for repairing it, or that a new arsenal be constructed in this vicinity, for the purpose of securing their preser vation. Since my last annual message, the late President of the United States has fallen a victim to the most foul and base -assassination recorded in history. It will afford me pleasure, and I will heartily unite with you in any expres sion of indignation at the crime, and of appreciation of the public virtue and services of its victim, Abraham Lincoln. My uniform course during the late war was to avoid the discussion of the policy of the General Government, while giving a hearty support to the National authorities in all their meas ures to suppress the rebellion. I shall continue to pursue the same course dur ing the embarrassments necessarily con nected with the entire restoration of the country. The principles expressed in the message of the President, at the commencement of the session of Con gress, will receive my cordial support. During the last five years the people of this State have suffered deeply from the calamities of war. Thousands of her men have been slain, and others maimed and broken. Almost every family has been stricken, and every where there are widows and orphans, many of them helpless and in poverty. It is a subject of sincere congratulation that peace has at last returned. 1 am not aware of the existence of any difficulty with .other nations which may not be amicably adjusted, and therefore venture to express the hope that long years of tranquillity and hapT piness are before us. JB@*Oue of the Northern “school inarms,” who is employed in teaching the “freedmen,” told a sprightly negro girl that she “ must not call the woman with whom she lived, mistress—that she was as good as anybody.” Pretty soon the girl asked her teacher what business she followed before coming South to teach. “ I was a bonnet mak er,” was the reply. “Well!” said the girl, gathering up her books and mak ing for the door, “I am not go’in to 'so clate wid you any longer—you say I is ekel to my mistress, and she don’t ’so eiate wid bonnet makers.” A few clays ago a young school mistress was taking clown the names and ages of her scholars at the com mencement of the term. She asked a little white headed boy: “Bub, how old are you?” “My name ain’t Bub, its John.” “Well,” said the school mistress, “what is the rest of your name?” “AVhy, that’s all the name I’ve got—jist John.” “Well, what is your father’s name?” “You needn’t put pap’s name down, he ain’t commin to school any: he’s too big to go to school.” “ Well, how old are you?” I ain’t old at all, I’m young.”— Ex. Four lines more bcautily than these says the Buffalo Express arc rarely writ ten: A solemn inurmcr In the soul Tells of the world to be. As travelers hear the billows roll Before they reach the sen. Four lines more truthful than these, says the Utica Observer, are rarely writ ten : A .solemn buzzing in your oar, When you retire to boil, Tells you that swilling lager beer Is dreadful for the head. C@“' The following is the conclusion of an epitaph on a tombstone in East Tennessee: She lived a life of virtue and died of tho cholera morbus caused by eating green fruit in the full hope of a blessed immortality, at the early age of 21 years 7 months and 10 clays. Reader, go thou and do likewise. JsQy“Sir,” said a little blustering man to a religious opponent, “to what sect do you suppose I belong?” “Well, I don’t exactly know,” drawled his op ponent, “but to judge-from your size, appearance, and constant buzzing. 1 should think you belong to the class generally called in-sect.” Women have been detected in smug gling whiskey from Canada in cans made in the shape of babies which hold four or five gallons each. About thirty women, each with a bogus baby of this sort were captured in one day not long since. jJQy“If I am not at homo from the fiarty to-night at ten o’clock,” said a xusband to his better and bigger half, “don’t wait for me.” “ That I won’t,” replied the lady, significantly—“ 1 won’t wait, but I’ll come for you!” iSy* “ How is it,” said a man to Ids neighbor, “ that our parson, the laziest man living, writes those interminable sermons?” “Why,” said the other, “ probably, after lie begins writing, he is too lazy to stop.” fl®* “ Ike,” said Mrs. Partington, “ how do they find out the distance be tween the earth and sun ?”—“ Oh” said the young hopeful, “ they calculate a quarter of the distance, and then multi ply by four.” War and love are strange compeers. War sheds blood, and love sheds tears; War has swords, and love has darts; War breaks heads,and love breaks hearts J®* Undoubtedly women suil'er great wrongs, but when we look at the dear creatures, we often think they need to be redressed quite as much as their wrongs. No Use xw Trousers.—On (ho morning of the meteoric shower, in 1882, old Peyton Roberts, who intended making an early start to his work, got up in the midst Of the display. On go ing to his door, he saw with amazement the skv was lit up with the falling me teors, and he concluded at once that the world was on Are and the judgment had come. He stood for a moment gazing < in speechless terror at the scene, and then with a yell of horror sprang out of the door right in the midst of the fall ing stars and there in his effort to dodge them, ho commenced a series of ground tumbling that would have done honor to a rope dancer. His wife, being awa kened m the meantime, seeing Peyton jumping and skipping about the yard bawled out to him to know “ what in the name of common sense he was doin’ out thar dancin’ around without his clothes on.” But Peyton heard not.— The judgement had long back accounts he would settle, made him need less of all terrdstial things and his wife by this time bccomieg alarmed by his behavior, sprang out of bed. and run ning to the door shrieked at the top of her lungs: “Peyton, I say Peyton, what do you mean jumping about thar? Come in and put your trousers on.” “Trousers! what the d—l’s the use o trousers when the world’s on, fire!” Happy Retort. —The late Professor Duncan of St. Andrew’s University } in Socotland, was, prior to his appoint ment to his chair, rector to an academy in Forfarshire. He was particularly re served in liis intercourse with the fair sex, but, in prospect of obtaining a pro fessorship, ventured to make proposals to a lady. They were walking together, and the important question was put without preliminary sentiment or note of warning. Of course, the lady re plied by a gentle “No!” The subject was immediately dropped, but the par ties soon met again. “Do you remem ber,” at length said the lady. “ a ques tion you put to me, when we last met ?” The Professor said that he remembered. “ And do you remember my answer, Mr. Duncan?” “Oh, yes,” said the Professor. “ Well, Mr. Duncan,” pro ceeded the lady, “ I have been led, on consideration, to change my mind.” “ And so have I,” dryly responded the Professor. All, Drunk. —Ayoungsprigof a doc tor once met, at a convivial party sever al larks who were bent on placing in his hat a very heavy brick (or, in plain language to make him glorious drunk,) which they accomplished about ten o’clock at night. The poor doctor in sisted upon going, and the party accom panied him to the stable to assist him to mount his horse, which they did with his face to the animal’s tail. “ Hallo,” said the doctor, after feeling for the reins, “ I am inside out or my horse, or face behind, 1 don’t know which—some thing'wrong, anyhow.” “So you are,” exclaimed one of the wags ; “ get off, doctor, and we will put you on right. “ Get off the devil 1” hiccoughs the Doc tor “no you don’t. Just turn the horse round, aiid it will come right—you must all be drunk.” BSy A Western correspondent says : In a district in the Far West we had a gentleman teacher who thought it ad visable to give some lessons in polite ness. Among other things he told th boys in addressing a gentleman they should always say “Sir,” and gave them examples, and made quite a lesson of it. One boy was particularly delighted, and took occasion to speak to his teach er often, to show he profited by his teachings. When he went home to dine his father said : “ Tom, have some meat?” “ Yes, sir, I thank you.” The next thing the child knew, his father’s hand came whack on his ear, and his father’s voice thundered forth : “ I’ll teach you tosass your dad !” Tom gave up being polite. A. G. Curtin U®* A California paper is responsible for the following “ goak “A candi date for office came upon 1 a poor white man,’ who had a vote to give, if he did have to do his own milking. The can didate asked if he should hold the cow, which seemed to be uneasy; aud the old man consented. He took her by the horns, and held her fast until the operation was done. ‘ Have you had P -r (his rival) around her very lately?’ he asked. ‘Oh, yes, he’s be hind the barn holding the calf!” Mind your stops. A clergyman was depicting belore a deeply interest ed audience the alarming increase of in temperance, when he astonished his hearers by exclaiming: “A young wo man in my neighborhood died very suddenly last Sabbath while I was preaching the Gospel in a state of beast ly intoxication !” At a young ladies’ seminary, re cently during an examination in histo ry one of the most promising pupils was interrogated: “ Alary, did Martin Luther die a natural death ?” , “ No,” was. the prompt reply, “he was excommunicated by a bull.” 8®“ Domestic canibals—back-biters, RIl.
