GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Gsaaemea Of the Senate and House Of RepreseB-
tdtiues: The year has closed with very little
change in the commercial condition of the coun-
try. During last spring and summer there were
indications of the revival of confidence and a
slight Increase OF trade bat the excitement at
tending the election, and the delay in announc-
ing the result, appear to have checked the
movement and revived the period OF inactivity.
The fact of the temporary improvement how
ever, has given rise to a reasonable hope that we
have reached the close of the panic and the be-
ginning of better times. 1t will be our du ty to
contribute to that end and indirectly aid in re-
storing conf lence, by wise economy in appro-
pfiations, q careful management of finances and
conscientious discharge Of our official duties.

Notice has been gwen by the sinking fund
comm ssioners from time TO time, as the loans of
the commonwealth became payable, that if not
presented within ninety days the interest there
ON would cease, OF thHse overdue loans there
are still outstanding !Ss5,s2i.5s, which will be
paid at the treasury, without interest, whenever
presented. No loans being payable in 1876, il
became the duty of the sinking fund commits
sioners, in order to comply with the constitu-
tionsl provision providing for the annual reduc-
ton nf the public debt "by a sum not less than
two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, +" TO pur-
chase them In open market at premium But
during the next fifteen years no such contingen-
cy can arise. A six per centum currency 10 IN
Of 81 ,SS2 so Is redeemAble in February, 1877
and payable in 1882 IN August. 1877, a five per
centum gold loan of 50 245 300 l. payable, and
i'm 1875, 1879 and 1882 loans announcing to about
81 OO0, 900 are payable. six per centum cur
Tency loan of S995 8 o is redeemable in Febru-
ary, 1882, and payable in 1892.
In the next five years about twelve millions OF
the state loans become payable. To pay the
same won d take an annual payment OF nearly
two and a half million collars Tnis is NOT prac-
ticable nor desirable /, therefore, recommend
that new loan he authorized, at a rate of in
terest not exceeding five per crntum, Tedeema-
bile in fifteen years and payable in thirty years,
for such amount as may be deemed in excess OF
a reasonable reduction of the public debt
for the next hve years new five
per centum loan would be taken promptly at a
premium and large amount OF interest saved
The desirabi ity of such investment NAV enable
the loan TO be placed at even a lower rate of in
terest. The loans Of the state would then su =
oessively become payable during the next thirty
years, and tue sinking fund commissioners could
always redeem, annually, the amount required
by the constitution, or more, If necessary, al
par, and would not be forced 70 90 into the mar
ket and purchase at premium.

HISTORICAL PUBLICATIONS.

The centennial celebration has attra ted con-

ify ing result that this commonwealth has not
heen behind others in providing lbetally for the
preservation of its true sources. The twenty
nine volumes of Records and Archieves (16S1-
1790) published under the supervision of the late
samuel II tzard, the tv- volumes of Bates His
tory of PeRnsyiv mia Volunteers l1S61-1S65) and
the more recent publication of four volumes of
a second series of Archives, contain a large body
of valuable materials, by that means, placed he

of the Historical society of Pennsylvania in this

illogical survey of Pennsylvania viii inform you

A Wife Lottery.

A lottery in Portugal is as good as a
castle in Spain any day. A young lady
who has all the qualifications necessary
for making a good wife advertises in the
Portuguese papers for proposals under
extraordinary conditions. She is poor
but is accustomed to a certain degree of
comfort, and she has been left in diff
cult position by the death Of lady who
has been to her mother. She desires
to bring to her husband a marriage por-
tion of So 900. The man who wishes to
become her husband must take tickets in
a lottery which is to be held, the price
of each ticket being two dollars. When
5000 tickets have been disposed of the
amount due for them viii be collected
and placed in the Bank of Wien, in
vested in the name of the civil Governor
of that town, if, as may be expected will
be the case, he will give his consent
The number will then be drawn in the
presence of the Judge of the District, the
directors of the asylum Of Wien and OF
the Civil Governor, who will preside OF
the occasion. The drawer OF the win
ming number will then receive, immedi
ately after the celebration of the mar
rage 5000, and also the interest Of th'
other IS, 900, which will form the dowrl
of his wife. Should the winner be una
BILE from any cause 10 marry the persOl
making this announcement he may ced
his right; or, should the marriage no
take place at all, the sum subscribe'
shall be handed over to charitable in
stitution in Wien.

Interrupted Table Talk.

The other evening the Rev Mr.. Phi
lacter sat down at the tea table with a
very thoughtful air, and attended to the
wants of his brood in very distracted
manner. Presently he looked up at his
wife and said
"The Apostle Paul"
Got an awful lump on the head 'saf.
ternoon," broke in the pastors eldest son,
playing base ball. Bat flew out of the
strikers hands when | was umpire, and
cracked me right above the ear, an
dropped me. Hurt? MyI" and the lad
shook his head in dismal but expressive
pantomime as he tenderly rubbed lump
that looked like billiard ball with hair
on it. The pastor gravely paused for
the interruption, and resumed:
"The Apostle Paul."
"Saw Mrs. O'Gheminie down at Green
baum's this afternoon" said his eldest
daughter, addressing her mother. :" She
had on that same old everlasting black
silk, made over with vest of tilleul
green silk, coat.tailed basque pattern,
overskirt made with diagonal folds in
front, edged with deep fringe; yellow
straw hat, with black velvet facing in
side the brim, and pale blue flowers
She's going to Chicago"
The good minister waited patiently,
and then, in tones just shade louder
than before, said:
".The Apostle Paul"
Went in swimmin' last night, with
Harry and Ben, pap, and stepped on a
clam shell, exclaimed his youngest son;
"cut my foot so i can't wear my shoe;
and please can't stay home tomorrow"
The pastor informed his son that he
might stay away from the river and then
resumed his topic. He said; f't
"The Apostle Paul says"
"My teacher is an awful fibber,"
shouted the second son; abe says the
world is as round as an orange and it
turns round all the time faster than a
circus man can ride. guess he amt
4 got much sense" - ......
The mother lifted warning finger to-
ward the boy and said" ship and the
father resumed: at..t.. ",.. r
"The Apostle Paul Says"
Don't bite off twice as much as you
can chew" broke out the eldest son, re-
proving the assault of his little brother
on piece of cake. The pastors face
showed Just trifie of annoyance as he
said, in very firm, decided tones:
"The Apostle Paul says"
THERE'S fly in the butter" shrieked
the youngest hopeful of the family, and a
general la1l followed. When silence
was restored the eldest daughter, with an
air of curiosity, said:
We'll, but, pa, really would like to
know what the Apostle Paul said"
| "A" Pass me the MUSTARD, saIu Gne pas

A Cutting Rebuke.

An old but vigorous-looking gentle
man, seemingly from the rural districts,
got into car and walked its full length
without receiving an invitation to sit
down. Approaching one gentleman who
had a whole bench to himself he asked:
els this seat occupiedS" g Yes, sir, it
is," impertinentiy replied the other.
+" Well" replied the broad-shouldered
agriculturist, 81 will keep this seat until
the gentleman comes" The principal
proprietor withdrew himself haughtily
TO one end and looked insulted. After
while the train got in motion and still
nobody came to claim the seat, where
upon the deep-chested agriculturist
turned and said: "Sir, when you told
that this seat was occupied you told me
lie"-such was his plain language
never sit near liar If can avoid it,
would rather stand up" Then appeal
ing to another party he said; " Sir, may
/ sit next to your You don't look like l
liar" We need hardly say that he go
his seat and that the original proprietor
thought that there was something wroni
about our social system. -BGLtim0rs Ga

An Adroit Preacher.


A story is told of a preacher of hos
pital Sunday sermon, in illustration OF
the wisdom of the serpent that is some
times exhibited by divines. In district
inhabited by wealthy people, but mostly
connected with trade, and in which
" commercial credit" is everything, the
clergyman in question prefaced his re-
marks with these words: Before com
mencing my appeal to your purses, my
friends, I will mention a case of con
science which has been put to me this
morning by an esteemed member of this
congregation. He is, he says, to all ap-
pearance rich man, but in reality is on
the verge of bankruptcy He would
wish to put his five pounds in the col
lection plate, as usual; but would it be
honest, he asks, seeing that what money
he had left is hrs creditors, and not his
own Ihave advised him, dear friends,
not to give; and II any of you are in the
same plight, l also say: Be just before
YOU are generous. Those, on the other
hand, in good circumstances, will give
according TO their means" 1t is said
that so many fve-pound notes were
never seen in the collection plate before
as ON the occasion of that sagacious ap-
peal
