The Strike.'
The strike of the freight brakemen on the
Susquehanna and Western Divisions of the
Erie Road, which occurred last week, was oc
caskmed by an order from Superintendent
Rucker, reducing the pay from $2 to $1.75 per
day. The strike greatly interfered with the
transportation of freight, and a serious riot was
at one time feared at Romellseille, where the
brakemen had centered. The trouble was
Ocudly happily settled, by a . compromise which
divides the difference, and gives the brakemen
$1,87 1.2 per day. This road can well be called
the "Erie of Trouble." ,

An Old Stove.
The oldest stove probably in the United
States, is the ono which warms the hull of I
Virginia's capitol, Richmond. It was made in
England and brought to Richmond In 1770,
and warmed the House of Burgesses r sixty
years before it was removed to its present loco
cation, where it has been for thirty years. It
has survived three British monarchs; has been
contemporaneoys with three monarchies, two
republics and two Imperial governments of
France. The great republic of America has
been torn by Interred strife, the breaches partly
healed, and still the old stove.remnins unmoved
in the midst of all.

ED. DIASOCILAT - -A few statistics In your ar

do not tally exactly with the record made, over
forty pairs ago, In the Susquehanna Regittter.
Anxious to be exact in preserving, for perma

About five years ago—January 1824--after

yield an abundance of sslt water; but it prov

the country, and the project was wholly aban-
doned."
Previous to the erection of the mills by a
New York Company in 1865-6, the well, then
2 5 feet in depth, had not been tested, and af
terwards the flow of salt water was found to be
intermittent—once in three hours after two
hours' pumping. The quality of the salt was
good, and perhaps 200 bbia. in all. Acre mann

without a yield in paying quantities, the work
was once more abandoned. The Company's
original aim was to find Petroleum.

PA I L A DELPH 11, Dec. 20. —The Senator
ial election held in the First District to
day resulted in 1,406 majority for Colonel
Robert I'. Deehert, the Democratic can
didate. This is a brilliant and substan
tial victory. It gives the democrats a
majority in the Senate for the first time
iu many years' and thus defeats, the dis
honest gerrymander which was made in
the apportionment cf 1862. With the
control of the Senate, the Democrats will
be able now to secure the just and fair
distribution of representatives among the
people of the State which is contemplated
by the constitttion. •At this time

results which will flow front this victory
of the Democracy of the First. district.

MARS TWAIN'S POLITICAL EX
A few months ago I was nominated for
Governor of the great State of New York,
to run against Stewart L Woodford and
John T. Hoffman, on the independent
ticket. I somehow felt that I had one
prominent advantage ovel• these gentle
men, and that was, good character. It
was easy to see by the newspapers, that if
ever they had known what it was to bear
a good name, that time had gone by. It
was plain that in these latter years they
had become familiar with all manner of
shameful crimes. But at the very mo
ment that I was exalting my advantage
and joying in it in secrect, there was a
muddy undercurrent of discomfort "ril
ing" the deeps of my happiness—and
that was, the having to hear my name
bandied about in familiar connection
with those of such people. I grew more
- and more disturbed. Finally I wrote my
grandmother about it. Her answer came
quick and sharp. She said :
" You have never done one single thing
in all you life to be ashamed of—not one.
Look at the newspapers—look at them
and comprehend what sort of characters
Woodford and Hoffman are, and then see
if you are willing to I..wer yourself to
their level and enter a public canvass with
them."
It was my very thought ! I did not
sleep a single moment that night. But
after all, I could not recede. I was fully
committed and must go ou with the tight.
As I was looking listlessly over the papers
at breakfast, I come across this parapraph,
and I may truly say I never was so con
founded before:
" Pv.n.rrev.—Perhaps now that Mr.
Mark Twain is before the people as a can
didate for Governor, he will condescend
to explain how be eame to be convicted
of perjury by thirty-four witnesses, in
Wakawak, Cochin, China, in 1863, the
intent of which perjury was to rob a p?or
native widow and her helpless family of a
meagre plantain patch, their only stay
and support in their bereaverne6t and
their desolation. Mr. Twain owes it to
himself, as well as to the great people
whose suffrages he asks, to clear this mat-1
ter up. Will he do it ?"
I thought I should burst with amaze
ment! Such a cruel, heartless chr
I had never seen Cochin China! laTI
never heard of Wakawak! I didn't know
a plantain patch from a kangaroo! I did
not know what to do. I was cmzed and
helpless. I let the day slip away not doing
anything at all. The next morning the
same paper had this—nothing more :
" SioNIFIcANT.—Mr. Twain, it will be
obserbed, is suggestively silent about the
Cochin China perjury?'

The next newspaper article that at
tracted my attention was the following:
" A SWEPT CANDI DATE.--3fark Twain..
who was to make such a blighting speech
at the mass meeting of the Independents
last night, didn't come to time ! A tele-
gram from his physician stated: that' he
had been knocked down bra runaway
team and his leg broken in two places—
sufferer lying in great agony, and so forth
and so forth, and a lot more bosh of the
same sort. And the Independents tried
hard to swallow the wretched subterfuge
and pretended they did not know what
was the real reason of the absence of the
abandoned Creature whom they denomi
nate their standard-bearer. A certain
man was seen to reel into Mr. Twain's
hotel last night in a state of beastly intox
ication. It is the imperative duty of the
Independents to prove that this besotted
brute was not Mark Twain himst-lf. We
have them at last ! This is the ease that
admits of no shirking. The vc,iee of the
people demands in thunder-tones: -WHO
WAS THAT MAN r'.
It was incredible, ahsolntelv incredible,
fora moment, that-it Wits really my name
that was coupled with this disgraceful
suspicion. Three long years had passed
over my head since had tasted ale, beer
wine, or liquor of any kind.
[lt shows what effect the times were
having on me when I say that I saw my
self confidently dubbed "Mr. Delerium
Tremens Twain" in the uext issue of
that journal without a pang—notwith
standing I knew that with ulimotons
fidelity the papers would gu on calling
me so to the very end.)
By this time anoymous letters were get
, ting to be an important part of my mail
matter. This form was common :
" How about that old woman yon kiked
off your premisers which was beging:
Pot. Puy."
And this:
" There is things which you hare done
which is unbeknowens to anybody but
me. You better trot out a few dole, to
yours truly or you'll hear thro' the papers
from
HANPI(,2O DT."

Shortly the rincipal Republican jour

and the leading Democratic paper 'nailed'
an aggravated case of blackmailing to
me.
[ln this way I acquired two additional
names; "Twain the Filthy Corruplion
ist," and "Twain, the Loathsome Eut
bracer."l
By this time there had grown to •be
such a clamor for an'"iinswer" to all the
dreadful charges that were laid- to me,
that the editors and leaders of my party
said it would be political ruin for the to
remain silent any longer. As if to make
their appeal more imperative, the follow
