"I saw a record of that will in the Surro gate's office, this morning," I resumed, "and 4"ou speak of my uncle will," lie hasti ly interrupted. "And yet," I continued, "you said it was yours when you applied to have it written. You represented yourself as desirous of ex ecuting such a document preparatory to em barking on a perilous voyage. The paper was drawn in accordance with your instruc tions, leaving the date to be filled at tho time of signing. Your locks were gray then, and you certainly looked old enough to have a marriageable daughter, but your disguise Was not perfect," and I pointed to the mutilated finger. "What do you mean?" he shouted in a defiant tone, springing to his feet. "Simply that your uncle's signature to that paper is a forgery " I answered, rising and confronting him. "lie died on the tirenty third of December. Your own tele gram to that effect is in existence. It was on the ticenty foirrth, the day before Christmas that you called on me to prepare the paper uow on record as his will. The interence is plain; you undertook to manufacture tliiH spurious testament after your uncle's death, and wishing to clothe your villainy in legal form, you procured from n:c the required lt.

Ilis face frrew livid. Hi frame quivered with mingled fear and re, and his eyes gloimei like tliat of a wild bent at bay. "What is your purpose?" he exclaimed, in a voice hoarse with suppressed passion. "To keep yor secret while yoa Jive," I answered, "on one condition." "Name it." "That you write instantly to Julia Parsons renouncing al! pretentions to her hand, aud absolutely withdrawing your proposal of marr ," After a moments pause he seated himself ; at his dek, auJ hastily penned a b;ief note which he submitted to my inspection; it wa &utte satisfactory. ''13c so good as to seal and address it," I said. lie .lid so. I will see that it is delivered, 1 re marked, taking if up and bowing myself out.

A gentleman from the country, stopping at one of our hotels the other day, entered uto conversation with one of the boarders. After a few minutas conversation, the board r dretf out his cigar case, saying, "Will you take a cigar, sir?" "Wall I don't mind if I do," was the reply. The cigar wa.s passed to hiai; also the one which our boarder was smoking, for tho purpose of affording hitn means to ignite the trash weed. Mr. Coun trymaii carefully placed the cigar first hand ed him into his pocket, and then drawing his knife, deliberately proceeded to cut off the end of the lighted ono which had been in the mouth of his generous fricnl, and couiiiieneed smoking the remainder, remark ing with an innocence that was quite refresh ing: "It ain't often that a fellow from the country ruuj afoul of as "clever a chap as you are. "I say, mistt-r, did you see a dog come by here that looked as if he was a year or a year and a halt or two years old?'' said ayaukce lo a countryman at the roadside "Yes," said the countryman, thinking him self quizzed, "he passed an hour or an hour and a half or two hours ago ; and is a mile or a mile and a half or two miles ahead of you : and he had a tail about an inch or an inch aud a halt or two inches long." - "That 11 do, said the Xankee. you re ahead of me a foot or a foot and a half or two feet" An Urealite lady, sitting in the same box at an opera with a physician, was troubled with tu a ui, and happened to gape. "Excuse me madam," said the doctor, "I'm glad you did not swallow me." "Give yourself no un easiness," replied the lady, "I am a Jewess and never cat pork." "It is a standing rule in my church for the sexton to wake up any man that he sees asleep," said one minister to another. ' think," replied the other, "that it would bo better if the sexton, whenever a man goes to sleep under your preaching, would wake you up."

Eigham, of Pittsburg, ad dressed a Republican mass meeting at Kit tanning on the 7th instant, and in his speech posted the books iu the aecount current with Asa Packer and the Democracy of this State, with reference to the State debt and county taxes. The ex-Senator said : ' Tbe present contest is primarily confined to this State, aud therefore the taxpayers theieof ought to know how the account staudswith Asa Packer and the leaders of the Democratic party in the Commonwealth. First, then, the entire State debt which the Republican administration has been paying off siuce 1S60 was incurred by the Demo cratic party. I am not saying how far the policy of internal improvements wus a wise oue. I do not wish to be understood as condemning it in toto. But the eutira debt incurred, aud fully as much more of sUitllng, was fairly ehargable to the Democratic par ty. That party was in power say troni 1S28 to 185S, witn scarcely au interruption. Gov ernors llituer, Johnson and Pollock were elected by the Whigs.but eveu then at least one branch of the Legislature was Demo cratic. The highest amount ever reached by that debt was $41,951,515 18. Then came the war debt incurred in puttingdown this Democratic rebellion, for which the Democratic leaders in this Stato and James Buchanan's administration at Washington are maiuly responsible. I endeavored to show iu my Heading speech, the agency which Asa Packer and his thirty-five asso ciates iu the Charleston Convention had in disrupting the Democratic party and bring ing to a head the slaveholders' rebellion. To these bad men in Pennsylvania and tbe encouragement given by James Buchanan's administration, di we owe tbe lormi.tion of tho cotton States confederacy at Montgom ery; Alabama, and the full blown rebeliion of Jell". Dav is & Co., at Richmond. Now let us see what was the amount of this war debt. A very small part ot this appears on the Treasury books at Ilarris burg. The direct payments,as shown in the Treasury- accounts, are about $5,000,000. The payments for the support and educa tion of the children of soldiers and saiiors will, by the time the books are closed, some fifteen years hereafter, be about ten millions ot dollars. About three millions have al ready been paid, and we thiuk about seven more will close the books. PAYMENT OF BOUNTIES. The restrictions imposed by the constitu tional amendments of 1857 prevented the State paying bounties t j volunteers, as was done in many of the other States of the Union. In Pennsylvania these were entire ly pail by cities, wards, borough and town ships. Your acts of Assemby of 1S64-5-6 and i are lull ot general and special acts on this subject. The amount of these bounties has never beeu officially reported. We were sati.-iied at ilarrisburg that seven per cent, ou the assessed valuation of the State was below the mark. This, however, would amount to the sum of S42,lKIO,(K)0. Then we were also satis'Icd that our citizens had paid in voluntary contributions to fill up the Union army at least buy per cent, ot tbe bounty taxes. Let us briefly recapitulate in a tabuiar form the sums thus charged against the leaders cf the Democratic party iu Peun -sylvania : 1. Pernmncnt debt, $41,951,515 IS 2. War debt already paid, 5,000,000 00 3. Soldiers' orphan schools, 10,000,000 00 4. Bounties to volunteers, 42,000,1 00 00 5. oluutary contributions, I'l, 000,000 00 $119,951,515 18 This is the amount of the legacy the Dem ocratic leaders have imposed Upon the. loyal tax payers of Pennsylvania. We do not propose to repudiate this debt, as the 1 en dleton school of politicians do. In fact we have already paid the greater part of this innnense sum. By the time Gov. Geary's administration closes there will have been paid by the Curlin aud Geary administra tions ou the Permanent debt, about $10,0; '0,000 The entire war debt, 5,000,000 The soldiers' orphans, S.OOu.OOO The peot le will have paid the en tire bounties to volunteers, 63,090,000 $81,000,000 Twelve millions of R. R. bonds in Treasury not yet applied, 1000,000 $93,000,000 Leavine about twenty-six millions yet un provided for. In the hands ot the Kepub lican State administration our permauent debt is liemg paid oil at the rate of nearly two millions of dollars a year. It the Re publicans are let alone, the whole debt will be extinguished in fifteen years at furthest. There is now going the rounds of the Democratic papers a statement copied from a smut machine at Uarrisburg, intimating that there is a deficiency in the Auditor General's accounis.during two years of Gov. Geary's administration, of $7.L'0O,0'0. Our first remark is that if Gov. Gtfary has paid off nearly two millions a year and yet has stolen seven millions, what shall be said of the thirty years of Democratic rule in Pennsylvania, when no reduction was ever made ou the public debt. Of course, on their own showing they must have annually stolen some six millions. The ridiculous ness of this charge is shown by the fact that the entire revenue of the State would not exceed $9,000.0U in these two years, and the annual interest on the debt is near ly two millions. The charge is so ridiculous that it merits no answer. But the Republican administration has not only paid off this large amount of debt, but it has also repealed tho tax on real es tate imposed by the Deni"cratic Legislature of April 29, 1844, and constantly continued by them while in power. The Democratic party were all the time pretending to fight corporations. The Republican party has adopted the much more sensible plan of tax ing corpora' ions, and making them pay the expenses ot the State government, and to that extent relieving the real estate. This policy was mainly introduced by the act of May, 1S64. reported by myself from the Committee of Ways and Means, of which I was chairman the last year I was a member of the House. Two years thereafter, to wit, in February, 1SG6, this act taxing tonnage uron railroads and the net earnings of all our large corporations had yielded revenue so that the Legislature felt warranted in re pealing the State tax on real estate, thus voluntarily relieving the farming interest of $1,500,000 per antiuui, which they had been paying from l'44. It is. however, a notorious fact, that this Democratic millionaire, Aa Packer, and the New York interests associated with hiai.arc ! nnifh more heavily tax.; 1 urr iU 'y-t -m ,T :':'.'; i'-;i:v.-:-.:.v a i- ministration. If, then, by any misfortune, Mr. Packer should be elected, we may ex pect them to take care ot their friends by repealing the tax on mammoth corporations and re-imposing the same upon real estate. Asa himself appears to b a perfect adept in dodging taxation. Witness his skill in pre tendinir to change his residence from Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia. His taxes legally assessed at Mauch Chuik from which he did not dare to appeal were $2,50i. He goes to Philadelphia and gets entered on the tax books fir about tor onr year, and then disappears altogether. Not only so, but this twenty millionaire, sharp as a steel trap in regard to his investments, when the United States Assessor comes round, only pays $8 95 on a gold watch and some silver plate. Ilis entire twenty millions appeared not to have vielded him over one thousand dollars. Now I ask the honest tax payers ot Pennsylvania if they will trust a man, who, as oue of the leaders of the pro-slavery democracy, has imposed upon them an en ormous debt of $119,000,000 and yet, when taxation conies to pay it on, sneaks away from the assessor and pays no taxes. Asa Pucker's record shows that he understands practical repudiation so well that theoretical repudiation is not necessary tor him. If Packer will only give Pendleton a few les sons on the practical part ot tax pnying.and then, in return, Pendleton wiil give Packer some lessons on the theory, the Democracy ot the Keystone and Buckeye States will be perfect adepts in the theory and practice of not paying either the debt or taxes. Republicans of Armstrong county.in pre senting the above account current with Asa Packer ami his Democratic leaders, 1 have not spoken one word about the COO.OoO of our Pennsylvania sans and brothers who had to shoulder tha knapsack and musket at their country's call. I have not referred to the 50,000 dead heroes who sleep that sleep that knows no wakina until the resurrection morn. I have not referred to that mountain of indebtedness on part of the National Government, piled un by patriotic hands in saving our priceless Union from the treason of the associates of the Democratic leaders of Pennsylvania, one of the very worst of whom, id his own grcnt way, was this Asa Packer. To state an account currenUof the crimes committed, and the aid and comfort administered to Southern traitors and the still meaner Northern Copperheads, by the leaders of this sham Pennsylvania Democ racy, defies the power of human arithmetic. Woxders of California. There are evidences of glaciers that surpassed those of Switzerland; there are proofs of volcanic revolutions that utterly changed the form of the continent, and the nature of vegetable, animal, and human life upon it; where these mountains now rise were once grand rivers; out of their depths have been dug the bones of a gigantic race that lived further back io the ages than human life was ever before known, or perhaps suspected, by the most audacious theorists. The State has diluvial deposits 1,500 feet deep, and granite rnnnn tains twelve to fifteen thoussnd feet high, and others of lava and slate and metamor phic of nearly equal height ; silent craters are open upon many of her highest peaks ; where Switzerland has ons mountain thir teen thousand feet high, California has a hundred ; she has a waterfall fifteen times as high as Niagara ; she has lakes so thin that a sheet of paper will sink in their wa ters, and others so voracious that they will consume a man, body, boots and breeches, within thirty days ; she has inexhaustible mines of gold, quicksilver, aud copper ; she keeps a miniature hell in blast as a warning to the wicked sons of men ; she has dreary deserts with poisonous waters, whers life faints; she has plains and valleys that .will grow more wheat and vegetables than any other equal space in tho whole naunn; in short, her nature is as boundless, in its fc cutidity and variety as it is strange and startling in its forms; while her men are the most enterprising and audacious, and her women the most self-reliant ?nd most richly dressed, and her children the stoutest, sturdiest and the sauciest of any ia the known world. The Quaker Way. A good story is told by an exchange of a Quaker landlord at Atlantic City. An urchin of five or six years was seen by him drumming noisily upon a handsome walnut balluitrade. The Friend remonstrated with him without ef fect, and then quickly took him up bodily and carried him into the back yard. In a moment the boy's angry mother made her appearance and opened upon the landlord with a torrent of invective, concluding with "I'll leave this house instantly." The Quaker immediately touched a bell and eaid to the dark skiuned waiter who responded to the call, "Leonidas, go up to forty-two and bring this friend's baggage when she tells thee she is ready for thee. If she wants thee to get a carriage for her, or has any other command until she is gone, thee will see them attended to." The lady suddenly bo gan to cool down, apologised, and asked to retain her room, but only received in re ply, "My house shall never make any one a a liar. My book-keeper will settle with thee. Fare thee well." Soon afterward her trunks were taken down stairs by the negro to the music of her boy's voice caused by her imparting to him unexpected caloric with a strip of ehiugle. A traveller writes : "We started from a little town in the vicinity of Holstein. I would not undertake to spell or pronounce the name, but if you will take Tzschucken and Kionojed.and mix them up with Opom panoshoe,Scotch Siiuffand Passamaquoddy, and pronounce the whole backward with a sneeze, you will theu get within about six miles of it." Upon a tomb stone appeared this in scription : "Ilere lies John Tu;:g, snug as a bug ia a rug." A wag seeing this, and a stone near by w'.ih no inscription, vrrnt.-. lusinrss giwrtorjt. w.
