All the teachers and friends of education are cordially in vited to attend and participate In the ex orcises. Mark Twain’s Lkctuke.—lf public audiences gave expression to their true feelings—whldn they rarely do—lt would amount to a confession.of dissatisfaction with most humorous lectures. • Bays Dr. Holland : No thoughtful or sensible man can devotee whole evening to the poorest kind of nonsense, wltfiout.loslng a little .of his self-respect, and feeling that be has spent his- money for that which does not'satisfy.” We have heard ' Josh Billings and Nusby, and on either occasion left the hall with a feeling of disgust for their vapid nonsense and vulgar second-hahd jokes. There are.two humorous lecturers, however, whom we have listened to with great satisfaction— the one was the lamented Artemus Word, whom we heard a few years be fore his death, and the other was Mark Twain, who lectured In this place oh Monday evening. i Twain was greeted with a crowded bouse, the special train on the Cumber berland Valley railroad having brought over a hundred auditors, and Carlisle and the surrounding country contributing as many more, in addition to the four hundred regular course tickets. After announcing that the next lecture of the course would not be a lecture at alt , but a series of readings by James E. Mur dock, he proceeded to Introduce the lec turer of the evening. He preferred to do this himself, for then he would be sure to get in all the facts. It was very embarrasing for the lecturer to stand on the platform and undergo the process of a tedious Introduction. The best Intro duction he ever had .was from a gentle man who Said : “Ladles and gentlemen, I know nothing about this man, except that he has never been In the penlten- tiary, and I don't know why he hasn’t.” His theme 'was " Boughing It,’- and consisted of extracts from his forthcom ing book, which would contain much valuable Information and pictures, and would be handsomely bound. If a book had handsome binding, it didn’t matter much what was in It. He would speak of the'“flush times’’ of Nevada. The population was mixed", and pretty badly mixed—thieves and editors, lawyers and blacklegs, merchants and highway rob bers. When Twain and hie companion. entered Nevada city, the leading bandit of the community, who was riding up street in company with the clergyman, addressed them a few words of welcome, and then rode to a neighboring groggery, imd pulling out his revolver, engaged in an animated conversation with the pro prietor thereof. He had been tried for murder, and was now around settling with the witnesses- He afterwards came back, with half a. dozen bullet wounds in his body, enquiring for a physician.— When he reflected on his narrow escape from death, that felmw became a changed man—He threw away his revolver and bowle knife, and-after that always used adouble barrelled shot gun. The chief game of that territory was mountain sheep and "seven up." The latter was a very wicked games and he believed playing cards was wrong on principle, unless a man could make somethlng.nt it. He sometimes played cards In Nevada, but did it to keep from doing something worse. He then gave a fine description of lake Taho, and the magnificent mountain scenery of Nevada, oontraatlng.it with the poverty of the soil and lack of vegetation. There were no indigenous reptiles in Nevada except lizards, scorpions,rattle snakes and grass hoppers. The climate waa invigorating and healthy. He~knew a man who came there to die, and in a short time he weighed a ton. He knew this to he a so, for several of the gentleman’s friends stood with him on the scales when lie was weighed. The last time he saw tbi individual, he was chasing raoutsln sheep over mountains Un thousand feet high— but didn’t catch any. They had hut two changes of seasons, ;he breaking up of one. winter and the be- ginning of another, and they were just twenty-four hours apart. He'bought a Mexican horse, which was sahl to he a fine animal, hut would “ buck”-mount (ng the animal, it pieced its four feet to gether and bowing its back, sent him up iu the air. After he had alighted on the ground, he placed one band on Ills fore head and one on his stomach, and if he had had nineteen hands he could' have found a sore spot for.each of them,, One of bis friends informed him he had been taken In,” but he had fully realized that disagreeable fact when he was going up. . He then drew a picture of the 11 flush times” when the Comstock lode was struck. The streets of Virginia city were lined with wagons loaded with sil ver. Bootblacks became bankers, and store boys • branched qut into, princely merchants, when suddenly the mine was exhausted anil the bubble 'bursted. He. was at that time local reporter of a dally paper—was soon promoted to the edlto rial chair, which he' held for just one week, during which time he hail fl"e duels on hand, all of which he managed to evade, to the great disgust ofthe hands In the office. He was opposed to duelling on principle, and be then made up ids mind It any man wronged him he would go to hlih kindly, take him by the hand Lad him into some unoccupied room, and murder him. The Indians of Nevada were a squalid, wretched set—in the winter almost starved—ln the summer living on grass hoppers and other smtill game. Among tho preaents given to them by the gov ernment were a large number.of hoop skirts. They always wore - them-on-the outside— the males drew them down over their heads and thrust thelrarms through the bars. There were a number of rivulets flow ing through the territory, which they dignified by the name of rlvers-lhey were very useful, however, for driving quartz mills, and there was a dam every place that was worth a Being in a church, the lecturer said he was glad he had made such a narrow escape from saylngja had word ; he would skip it, however, and go on with the lecture. Doubtless his audience recognized some of his statements as exaggerated, but he had tried to come as near the truth as any man could after living three years In that territory. It was said of Wash ington that he oouWn’t He—the lecturer claimed that his standard of morality was higher than Washington’s, for he could He but he wouldn't. George 11.

Adams’ Bxpbess Company, which waa formerly considered a great accom modation and Convenience to the people, is at present little lean than a swindling' concern. Its chargee for carrying pao agca-particularly email packages—are so Infa'moualy oxhorbltant, that a universal complaint Is heard in all sections of. the country. As an Illustration of the charges of this heartless and shameless swindling shop-a couple weeks since wo ordered from New Yoik four short pieces of wood rule. Its cost was .75 cents and Its Weight not quite a pound. After being on the road or somewhere else, for several days, it was finally delivered at our office, with an express charge of 90 cents I just 15 cents more than the cost of the rale. This Is a fair sample of the charges of this Company, as we Know to our cost. The Company appear to have no schedule, of Prices, no rule to govern their oharees, except the role of extortion. There is a way to stop this monopoly In Its robbery transactions, and the Legislature should attend to it without delay. Our members, of Assembly should look into this matter, apply the remedy, and save the people from the monstrous demands of this so called “express."-We would just as soon a man would steal money from our pock et-book,as to present a bill to us and de mand payment, when we know that that bill amounts to a robbery We '{Spent, I lieu, that, the Legislaiure c»n remedy this evil.

Editors Some one has gent me a copy of the Carlisle Herald, of a recent date, containing a letter, which purports to be from a former res ident. Its contents interest me very much'but are not altogether satisfacto ry. I beg therefore, as I am myself a quondam resident, of the town, the favor of space for a word of reply. This letter, litre a lady’s—ln which the most important part is reserved for the postscript, contains little of practical value till it approaches its end. The writer is evidently a. Re publican sore-head. He asks if the™ is much disaffection in the rants in the Cumberland region, and is compelled to confess that there is a good deal where he lives, wherever that maybe. era expresses no opinion of his own hut quotes a Mr. Blank as hold.ng that if the Democrats “ knew enough to come in out of ihe rain” It would go hard with the Republican party.and seriously damage the prospects of Elyssesf Well nous verrons, as father Ritchie used to say : that is We shall ses which of the two parties knows the most on this point. My own private opinion is that if the. Itepublicans knew enounh to keep m out of the cold they would not be so cock-sure of success under Grant as a leader. It must be admitted that what this writer says about- olden times in Carlisle, though it Is rather sentimen tal sbows him to. be quite familiar with hie subject. But let him not suppose that he alone, of all the sexagenarian and absent children, holds tne old town In fond and accurate remembrance. I think I know -half-a-dozen, certainly I know four, who are as much at home as he In Carlisle reminiscences, and of whom one at least could tell him of , per sons and things which he would have to own he had forgotten- I see this gentle man every now and. then and wben we meet Carlisle is sure to be hi" theme the last talk X had with him, which Was but a lew days ago, he was unusually fliiaiit, and what he said still '[ u 8f r 8 my recollection.

On election days He was sure to be ’spilin for a fight, and equally sure not to have to wolt long for a 2 opportunity.
