Mark TWain,s PLAGIARISM.

- At a Breakfast given che time to DR..
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Twain made an
open confession: "When my first book
was new a. friend OF mine said: 'The
dedication is very neat Yes, I said, 7
thought it was. NY friend said: + al
ways Admired it, even before I saw it in
the "Innocents Abroad. ~ II naturally
said, '7What do you mean ?: Where did
! you ever, see it before?' We'll, I saw it
first some years ago, as Mr.. Holmes
dedication to his "Songs in Many
Keys" OF course M first impulse
was to prepare this mans remains for
burial, but upon reflection / said I
would reprieve him for moment OF
two, and give him &. chance to prove his
assertion if he could. We stepped in
to bookstore, and he did prove it. I
had really stolen that dedication
almost word for Word. T could not
imagine how this curious thing had hap
pened.1 For I knewonething for dead
certainty: That certain amount of
pride always goes along With teaspoon
full of brains, and that this pride pro-
tects d man from deliberately stealing
other peoples ideas. That is what a
teaspoonful Of brains will do for man
and admirers had often told me I had
nearly a basketful, though, they were
rather reserved as to the size Of the
basket Twain gave an explanation,
tie Usual one. He had read Holmes
poems until he was entirely saturated
with their favor, and he unccnsciously
stole the dedication. "Perhaps," adds
Twain, Il unconsciously stole the rest
of the volume, too, for many people
have told me that my book was pretty
poetical, in one way or another" The
offender wrote to DR.. Holmes explain
ing his feat of grand larceny, and re-
ceiyed very kind reply 1T afterward
called on him. Mark adds, ":and told
him to make perfectly free with any
ideas of mine that struck him as being
good protoplasm for poetry. He could
see from that that there wasn't anything
mean about me; SO we got along right
from the spot." Chicago Times.

THE SITUATION In MAINE.

! sAuausTA, Jan. 20.-The Fusion legis-
lature, after prolonged secret session this
morning, adjourned to meet the first Wednes-
day In August next Many of the members
will go home not to return here before that
date. Others will go back to the people OF
their districts to abide by their deci sion as to
joining or remaining out OF the State House
Others will take their seats among
their Republican brethren. The counted:in
members will, some of them, 60 home while
others will contest the seats of their rivals for
the sake Of getting the pay usually i, allowed
defeated contestants. Two Frslonlsts, today,
appeared. in the Republican house, and NJ
follow them. Fusionist Gov. Smith and TALL
bot, speaker of the Fusion house, will leave for
their homes tomorrow. The capitol guards
and Richardson's light infantry marched out
of the State House this morning Hill, OF
Corink, and Millikin, OF Burnham, took their
seats in the Republican house: The new Era, q
Greenback organ, submits to the decision of
the supreme court and appeals to the people.
1t also calls upon the press to publish its de-
claration of the principles to Brick Pomeroy
leagues, The Republicans and quite a num-
Der Of. Fusionists say that the Fusion legisla-
tr1re viii never meet again, as will be shown
Tomorrow by members taking their seats in
sued was an indirect method of dissolVing,
and that if the members 60 home they will
soon be returned by their constituents to look
out for important interests coming before tile
legislature this session. The Legislature
will declare all seats that are not
now filed vacant, and new elections will
be ordered. The Fusionist secretary Of
state Sawyer promises to return the yalpa;
ton books to office of secretary Of state, and
it is thought he will not claim to besecretary
any longer. State Treasurer, White was IN;
able to be here to-day, put telegraphed the
opinion and meet them tomorrow, his only
| desire having been to secure himself and
bondsmen against loss. The opinion prevails
that he viii freely give up the! lseys.and prop.
erty Of the office Us soon as his successor is
qualified. Only one company of MALTA Is
| now at the State house, and that will soon be
| relieved from duty. 1t is the opinion on ali
sides that the contest has now ended and ex
citementclosed. - ~

the association.

with many regrets that more has not
been accomplished in elevating the
schools Of our county.
We, as teachers, have labored hard
to promote the educational welfare
OF Forest county, bat we have not had
the success so much desired by US. In
the schoolroom, we have, we believe
measurably succeeded; but there are
many things which ought to be done
but lies beyond our power to do.
So long as patrons will withhold their
presence from the school room, so long

sisted by the community in which we
are teaching, our schools will ever be
ranked among the third aud fourth rate
schools. Many Of our patrons and our
directors also do not even have SO
much as thought Of visiting thei r
respective schools, and unless the
teacher takes to visiting he will never
see any Of his patrons or directors
unless perhaps, at church or upon the
highway, ana thus cast their influence

HARRISBURG, PA, March q, 80
On Wednesday last we found that
the supposed defunct organization ol
seekers after notorioty denominated
the National Greenback Labor Party
was not dead that is, not very dead,
but that the shock of last tall had
merely stunned it, and it had Just
recovered enough from its stupor to
MAKE it's annual appearance. The
performance lasted fourteen hours,
during which time the two nld parties
received their share of black guarding,
after which they went through the
farce Of nominating candidates for
Supreme Judge nd Auditor General.
They also selected delegates for their
national convention, and named the
old demagogue, Hendrick B. Wright,
as their choice for President. Why
this organization is preserved, except
1t is to give the preservers notoriety,
cannot conceive, as they cannot
command vote large enough to elect
a single candidate for minor Office
let alone State one, and therefore
they are not able to make money. as
they formerly did, by putting up q
candidate and then selling HIM out.
Every man in the convention seemed
to think that the salvation of the party
depended on his making few
remarks, and every one insisted on his
right to speak and offer a series of
resolutions. One of the delegates,
after shouting "Mr. Speak err" until
thought he would injure his bronchial
tubes became so disgusted that he left
the building. AS the hotel keepers
reap some benefit from them, and they
don't do anybody harm, l presume
they will he allowed to make fools of
themselves annually as long as they
are aoIe TO pay thelf bills and don't
do anything worse than yell themselves

House without disturbing the town.

day evening, to hear the plea of the
parties convicted Of Bribery, and
though there will be protests against
their pardon, l hear there will be

The Greenback Convention.

The Pennsylvania Greeuback Con.
vention has done its work, and done il
in genuine Greenback fashion. Col.
Wright was launched upon the Presi.
dental waters and it only remains for
the national convention, to be held at
Chicago, to ratify the choice of Penn
sylvania and our venerable represen.
tative will be fairly on bis voyage to
the highest position in the gift If the
people. The Luzerne and Lacka.
wanna delegates in the State conven.
tiOn did not succeed in everything
they set ont to accomplish. They
desired the nomination of Hon. John
Handley for Judge of Supreme Court,
but as the Judge has never been ideu.
tilted with the Greenback party, be
had to give away to F. w. Devices.
Esq, of Schuylkill county. who is the
alpha and omega of Pennsylvania
Greenbackism. In the estimation of
the convention it was more important
that the candidate should be reliable
Greenbacker than that he should be
fitted for the position of Supreme
Court Judge. Mr.. Devices is a clever
gentleman in some respects, but even
the Greenback party makes itself ri.
diculohs when it nominates a briefless
third-rate lawyer for so high a posi-
tion.
We regret to be compelled to say
that the endorsement of Col, Wright
by the State conventioa will not as.
sure him the nomination iu the ma.
tional convention of his party. In the
latter body he will find General r. f.
Butler, Salon Chase, Rev. DR.. De La
Matyr, Gen. j. B Weaver and Others
contesting honors with him; but we
nevertheless hope our venerable fel,
low-citizen will succeed.
The platform adopted at Harrisburg
is political curiosity. as all Green
back platforms are, and does not ma.
terially differ with others that have
preceded it.
The speeches made in the convention
are fully in accord with the resolu.
tions adopted, and all indicate that
the only hope for the republic lies in
the success of the Greenback party in
the immediate future. The only true
patriots, the only pure men, the ouly
worthy and unselfsh citizens, the only
true aud wise statesmen this country
to-day contains, are embraced within
the narrow limits Of the Greenbaek
party. The millions who adhere to the
Republican and Democratic parties
are all bloated- -bondholders, corpora
tion tyrants, and greedy office seekers,
who have no nobler OF higher ambition
than to enrich themselves by public
plaudsr or by robbing the pour hornsy-
