In tLe ci'y ot New York I had a very
dear frit-Q i. u'i' old chum and claswwate,
George Dickson ; and as he was the only
person I knew in the great metropolis, of
cjarse I lost n time in lacking him up.

"I saw a record of that will in the Surro

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

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

his back against : he door ; "you have shown
yourself in posset- :on of a secret the custo

I replied. "In the frst place, I did not

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

at his dek, auJ hastily penned a b;ief note

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

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

inch aud a halt or two inches long." -
"That 11 do, said the Xankee. you re

An Urealite lady, sitting in the same box at
an opera with a physician, was troubled with

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."

POSTING THE BOOKS.
lion. T. J. 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."
