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." , Moo to Preserve Leather. Take half a pint of linseed oil, and half a pint seats' foot oil and boil them together.

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.

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?'

And yet I. can lay my hand upon the Book and say that I never slandered Governor lloirman's grandfather. More—l -had never even heard of him or mentioned him, up to that day and date. state, in passing, that the jour nal above quoted front always referred to me afterward as "Twain, the Body Snatch- . er."l 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." That is abont Abe Idea.

[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 ing appeared in one of the !rapers the very next day. "BEHOLD THE MAN !—Tlic Independ ent candidate still maintain; silence.
