WHEN Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer
in Illinois, he and the Judge once got
to bantering one ne'another about trading
horses, and it was agreed that the next
morning at 8 o'clock, they should make
a trade, tho horses to be unseen up to
that hour, and no backing out under
forfeitof S25. AT the hour appointed the
Judge came up, leading the sorriest look
ing specimen of horse ever seen In
those parts. In aafew minutes Mr.. Lin.
coin was seen approaching with wood
en- saw horse on his shoulder. Great
were the shouts and laughter of the
crowd, and both were greatly increased,
when Mr.. Lincoln, on surveying the
Judges animal, set down his saw horse
and exclaimed: swell, Judge, this is
the first time ever got the worst of it
in horse trade"

The Governor recommends that there be
further safeguards provided for keeping the mon
les OF the State, and that in the event of any
large accumulation into the Treasury, it be used
to purchase the outstanding bonds of the State.
The message commends the education of the
mass es to the fostering care of the Legislature
and gives the prominent facts in relation to the
progress made by the common schools of the
Commonwealth. M .. .....-
The department of Soldiers Orphans is refer
red to, and liberal support for this department

The Agricultural College is mentioned, and
the instruction there impaired is commended
and parents desirous of securing the benefits
which arise from this system are recommended
to patronize it. The college now owns three
model and experimental farms, one in Centre,
one in Chester, and one in Indiana county.
The message recommends the passage of law
laying tax upon those liable to military duty,
and who are not members OF some military Or
ganlation, similar to that now in force in Phila-
delphia, for the purpose Of building up an eff
cient military organization in the State. There
are now II volunteer military companies in the

The revision of the civil code is being actively

The establishment of an Insurance Depart
ment is again recommended, and its necessity
fully demonstrated. When it is remembered that
the District Attorney of Philadelphia, last year
charged the Stale over $50 900 for looking after
Insurance Companies, the urgent need of q mea-
sure of this kind will be fully appreciated.
| The necessity for a department of statistics is
recognized, and the Legislature is asked to make
provisions for such bureau. The suggestion is
good one, and should be acted upon without

The Reno Tragedy.
A SISTERS OATH OF VENGEANCE.

The following interesting details did not
appear in the hastily prepared reports first
published of the lynching of the Renos and
Charles Anderson. Frank Reno and Charles
Andersen were married. After the bodies
had been laid out upon the floor in the Jail
hall, the wives of these two men and Miss
Reno, the sister of three brothers, were per-
mitted to enter the hall to take their last
look of those who, although covered with
crime, were in their lives all the word to
them. All, what a scene was there! What
grief and anguishl What unutterable woe!
The three women entered, paler by far than
the dead bodies stretched out SO stark and
ghastly upon the prison floor. First came
from those despa!ring women such piercing
shreks as love can utter when it feels that
all it lived for is lost forever. Then tears
like rain, bursting from overhown fountains,
and means so touching in their plaintiveness
and utter despair that not even the most
stolid could keep from weeping. Then fol-
lowed that quiet. almost stolid look, a sort
of blank, purposeless agony, that tells that
hearts are breaking, that griefs work is
perfectly done. Great God! what specta-
Gle of utter woe 1t was The outburst of
grief ended, the quiet of despair settled
upon the faces of the women. But not long
did one of them remain under the burden. =
The sister of the three Reno brothers, an in
telligent and handsome young lady, dried her
eyes with her handkerchief then, taking the
griefstained piece of linen, she placed it
over the face of her brother William, who to
the last declared his innocence; then she
kueeled beside the dead man, and laid her
left hand over his heart, and raising her
right hand toward heaven, she took this ter
ribe oath: "Oh! my poor murdered brother,
may God curse your sister if she ayenge not
your death terribly and fully. This will do,
SO help me God!" What tragic scene was
this-the dark, strong walls on all sides, and
the cold stone floor under her knees-the sa-
BILE garments of the bereaved sister, the pale
face turned upward and the white hand point
ing heaven&ardl What tableau of death,
despair, love and revenge.

APEs PoRrRA1r OF ms. JEFFERSON DA-
vIs.-In his forthcoming book on Mr.. Davis
Mr.. E. A. Pollard writes as follows of Mrs.
Davis during confederate days in Richmond:
Mrs. Davis was a brawny, able-bodied
woman, who had much more of masculine
mettle than of feminine grace; her complex
ion was tawny, even to the point OF mulatto-
ism; woman loud and coarse in her man
ners, full of social selfassertion, not the one
of her sex who would have been supposed to
win the confidence of delicate man like
Mr.. Davis-whimsical in his health, vic
tim of ''nerves" nice and morbid in his So
cial tastes--altaough she might we'll have
conquered the submission OF such a creature
by the force of her character. Mr.. Davis
deferred to her in the social regulations she
would impose upon Richmond. She deman-
ded the etiquette of Washington, that the
Presidents lady should return 10 calls. She
introduced what was unknown in Richmond
-liveried servants; and when every horse
was impressed in the military service, the
citizens forced to go on foot remarked with
some disdain the elegant equipage of Mrs.
DAYS, that paused much more time before
the shops of Main street than the aristocrat-
ic residences of Grace and Franklin.

Pennsylvania Finances.

No State stands higher, financially, than
the State of Pennsylvania while under the
administration of John w. Geary. ..
The New York True Democrat, in very
able editorial on this subject, says:
'"rhe State debt has been decreased the
past year two millions, four hundred and
fourteen thousand, eight hundred and six
teen dollars and sixty-four cents (S2, Ala, 8l6,
"a This speaks well for the management
of our finances, and refutes the charges
of extravagance so frequently made by the
Democratic oracles and organs The State
debt has steadily decreased since the Repub-
can party hes controlled the State, notwith-
standing the fact of the burdens entailed by
great war, involving the necessity for rails
ing vast sums of money to sustain the gen.
eral government.
"The Democracy have charged, times with
out number, that the. Republican policy
would lead the State into bankruptcy and the
people to ruin. The debt continually in
creased while the Democracy were in power,
and has steadily decreased since they have
ceased to control the State. Republican
theories may all be wrong, and Democratic
theories may be mathematically correct but
the practical part of these theories seems to
favor the Republican idea and to be in oppo-
sition to the Democratic doctrine. While
we are gradually paying the debt and max
ing it less every year, taxpayers will do well
to make no change. If a man has a compe-
tent business man IN his employ, he should
retain him, and not discharge him to make
room for another whose qualifications and
integrity are both in doubt. .f
"The Democratic party under James
Buchanan, in time of profound peace, in
creased the national debt at the rate of fif
teen millions a year. They have steadily
and fearfully increased the expenses of New
York city in their rapacity for plunder, ant
which some day will have to be settled anC
adjusted through the agency of a Vigilance
Committee. They nearly swamped this Com
monwealth by huge debt, and their man
agement of financial matters in Y York count.
is Characteristic of the tendency of the De
mocracy to extravaganza.
We suppse our friend Chase fully compre
hends the meaning of what he says abou
| democratic economy" as the ''time-hor
ored Democracy" seem to have life leas
on the good city of York. We can bu
encourage him to Eight it out on that line,
and to continue to give them True DEAoc

In A HoRN-One Christmas day, some
years ago, some rather fast young fellows
hired horse from livery stablein the town
of c., and determined to have good
time generally. One of the horses never re-
covered from the effects of the ride, and the
livery man sued the rider for the value of
him. The lawyer for the plaintiff was an
ox-judge. He was good lawyer, but fond
of his toddy. He was trying to prove by
one of his witnesses that all were drunk, and
commenced by asking him.
/ "Where did you stop first after leaving the
livery-stable?"
