Respectfully Declines.

TAYLOR, of the Rome Sentinel, has re-
ceived an invitation TO attend wo-
mans convention in New York, and re-
spends as follows:
ave feel much honored by the invi-
tatiOn, but previous engagements Will
keep us at home. We do not know
what engagements, but feel sure they
will prevent US from meeting Miss An
thony at Union League Hall, and il she
comes aiterus, we intend TO run. There
was TiltOn, you know; he got an idea
that the rights OF somebody had been
basely ignored; the rights OF Victoria
Woodruff, we believe, he thought had
been ignored rather the most, and he
undertook TO set matters right, and he
has got into trouble-a peck OF it. And
there was George Francis Train; he
found score OF women whose rights
had been ignored, and he went blowing
around at woman's suffrage meetings,
and he has gone crazy. And Ben. But
Ter nibbled little at these doctrines,
but il did not hurt him, for much the
same reason that nothing hurts any bad
egg. Then look at Brother Beecher.
You remember, Miss Anthony, how
YOU got Brother Beecher mixed up in
this business, and look at him now sit
ting on the ragged edges of everything
without any cushion. GAS women
basely insulted," we feel no reason for
coming. We are not women; at least
we do not think we are, and we do not
remember to have been basely insulted,
and if any one has insulted you, Miss
Anthony, YOU had better bang them
over the head with your umbrella. That
will hurt them worse than for you to
make speeches at them in Union
League Hall. We admire yourpersOnal
appearance, and we have always set
your bonnet up as a model in the Seatt-
ael fashion notes. If you come here to
urge this invitation, we shall treat you
with distinguished consideration. We
don't believe the devil will dare stay in
the building with you, and the rest OF
us who make our daily bread and butter
here will certainly leave. You shall
have the liberty and sole possession OF
the establishment while you stay; but
we shall not 20 to that convention with
YOU unless you are stronger than we
are, and carry us off, and We hope the
police will prevent you from doing

handwriting Of Distinguished Men.

Col. Forney, in his recollections OF
distinguished men, says:
Senator Summers writing is charac-
teristically large and distinct; short SEN
tenses, carefully pointed, good ink and
excellent stationary-somewhat alter
the parliamentary fashion. He IS a
prodigious worker, and, / fear, even his
prostration cannot keep his hand from
the pen and pencil. Caleb Gushing
writes gerry rapidly, and it requires one
familiar with his manuscript to interpret
il. OF all men, however, none was hard
er 10 understand than Thaddeus Stevens.
have some notes of his which puzzle an
expert.-John Lathrop Motley, the his
torian, is singularly precise. Thackeray
seemed 10 rejoice in small feminine
characters and took great delight in his
letters to his friends to decorate the bor-
ders with all manner OF curious carica-
lures. Robert T. Conrad, the poet, was
most delicate and dilettante writer.
Some of his poems were not less models
of literary beauty than of mechanical
taste. William B. Reed, so well known
in politics and in literature, writes a
hand very much like the venerable
Henry G.. Carey-fair to look upon, but
sometimes hard TO unravel. Stephen A.
Douglas dashed off his letters without
much regard to appearance. He seemed
to be always under a high pressure, and
what he wrote was written with intense
feeling. John c. Fremont signs his
name boldly, little after the Dickens
style. William II. Seward was exces-
sively particular in the preparation OF
his speeches, and composed with delib-
Grafton. | heard an old stenographer
say that after he had taken down Mr..
Seward, literally in one OF his greatest
efforts, and presented him the full report,
the statesman recast the whole discourse,
and sent it to the printers in his own
hand. Senator Morton writes in bold,
round characters. ThurlOw Weeds is
significantly editorial-anybody who
sees it can tell that he has reeled of
multitudinOus leaders. McMichael, OF
the North american, writes nervously, in
straight lines, frequently hard to solve.
Boxer, the poet, prides himself upon
his cool and dainty chirography. Ru-
fus Choate was a dreadful atfiiction TO
the printers when they got hold OF his
legal papers, and the man who most re-
sembled him in his time, George w. Bar
ton, of Pennsylvania, was almost as
prolific in his oratory as in his hand
writing and it was far easier to enjoy
his magnificent rhetoric than his writ
ten sentences. FilmOre's style was me-
thodical and slow; Pierce's quick, bold
and legible; Lincoln's small, careful and
rather labored; Grants unpretending
and easily read"

A NOVEL ADVENTURE.
Two Anglers Hook the Same
MuscalOnge and Have a Jolly
Time With Him.
From the Erie Dispatch

From the Erie Dispatch.
In Tuesday mornings Dispatch there
was hrief mention OF the capture OF q
forty-one pound muscOlonge the evening
before bv Mr.. Merrick l.. Low and Alder
man Dieffenbach. 1t appears, further,
that these fisherman had quite time
in landing their prize and that the adj
venture was prolonged and exciting
one. They were seated in arOw-boat in
the vicinity OF the Erie and Pittsburg
Railroad dock, each man having out a
line, which he was holding with one
hand and gentlypulling an oar with the
other hand. After moving alongin this
manner for short time, Mr.. Low eX-
claimed excitedly: 1--WE got some
thing!" and Immediately began tugging
away at his line, "hand over fist" 81
have something, too shouted the Al
derman, and he, too, squared away and
began hauling in; and, as may be sur
missed an exceedingly animated scene
followed. Each man and both are
muscular, by the way appeared to have
about all he could do to manage his fish,
to say nothing of keeping the boat
steady, and it became reasonabl Y certain
that each had caught young whale or
some other fish of mammoth proper
tons. After the struggle had been kept
up for a short time, Mr.. Low caught
sight of an enormous head as it found
cred savagely in the water TO get loose,
and at about the same moment of time
the alderman beheld huge tail splash
ing and stirring the aqueous element in
to foam like the fans OF propeller
wheel The excitement continued TO
increase, and as the monsters OF the deep
were brought nearer the boat 1t became
apparent that but one fish had been
"hoOked on to-" Mr.. Low had first en-
trapped the muscalonge by a legitimate
bite and as the animal was dancing
about, the alderman's hook caught into
the heshy part near the tail, and the two
men thus tugged away in pulling the
fish toward them in broadside position.
The prize was finally secured after being
lowed from the Erie and Pittsburg docks
to the beach near the water works.

Three Kisses by Telephone.


Harrisburg Telegraph.
The other day Manager Clute, Of the
Western Union telegraph office, invited
a party of ladies and gentlemen to the
office to witness the workings of the
telephone. Among the party were three
young ladies who were delighted with
the way the operators at Philadelphia
and Pittsburgh could be heard talking
to each other. A conversation was car
ried on between Harrisburg and Phila-
delphia, and towards its close the oper-
ator in the Quaker City asked who was
present at Harrisburg, and was answer
ed: "Three young ladies" I'll send
each a kiss" said the telephOnist, and
directly afterwards could be heard the
sound Of three kisses, just as natural as
anything could be. That may have suit
ed Philadelphia, but it is nevertheless
true that the young ladies looked disap-
pointed. They thought it was going to
be the real thing, andtheir mouths were
set for it.

THE cotton receipts OF Atlanta, Ga,
fell off in 1873 about 1900 bales from
those of 1877, and this year there will be
a further decline OF some 1000 bales.
But what Georgia is losing in cotton
would seem to be made up to her in rich
minerals. A single blast recently in the

A NATIONAL MILITIA.
A Queer Plan for Raising an
Army Of Two Hundred Thou
sand Man

SdIlu UIChs
Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia Times,
Oct 4.
The chief of ordnance, in his annual
report, makes a novel recommendation
with respect TO national militia. He
recommends the passage OF such laws as
will make an efficient national militia
of some two hundred thousand men.
The proposition, in substance, is that
the militia of the several states, when
they have arrived at certain degree OF
efficiency and have complied with GER
tain conditions, may, according to the
pleasure Of the respective states, be en-
rolled as national militia, in which
case they shall be maintained at the ex-
pense Of the general government. The
degree of efficiency is to be determined
by the reports OF officers, to be called
inspectors of militia, who shall be ap-
pointed partly from the regular army
and partly from civil life. Colonel
Benet, the chief of ordnance, recon-
mends that One-half shall be selected
from among those who have served in
the Union army and one-half from those
who have served in the rebel army.
This is the first time that proposition
OF this kind has ever proceeded from
any bureau officer. To obviate any OBJ
iections that may arise on the ground
OF state rights it is proposed that any
state shall be at liberty to withdraw its
militia from the national enrolment at
its own pleasure, subject to certain reg
ulations. Among the conditions OF adj
ministration to the national enrolment
are that the states shall consent that un-
der certain circumstances its militia
shall be subject to the order OF the gem
eral government. Colonel Benet re-
commends an appropriation OF four
million dollars to put into effect any
law that may be enacted upon this sub
ipct

pertinaciouslv and with such violence,
that Mr.. TYLER said one day, Jocularly,
mir Clay, have been 81 much annoyed
