Thad stevens HuInOr.

The pretty little story ofSister Deecher
and her erring brother, Governor Cleve-
land, calls to mind the following good
story told of Thaddeus Stevens. More
than thirty years ago a bitter contro-
versy arose over will made by a citizen
of franklin County, this State. Mr..
Stevens was retained by the contestants.
The case was tried at Chambersburg.
In those days the country people regard
ed the will of a testator as sacred doc
ument, and the report that the great
commcner of Lancaster was to be engag-
ed in an attempt to break the viii crea-
ted sensation in the Cumberland Val
ley. Some Of the good citizsns detei-
mined to let Mr.. Stevens know that the
people who were trying to overthrow
the will "were not as good as they might
be-" The train that carried Mr.. Stevens
up the Cumberland Valley was boarded
at Carlisle by number of persons, some
of whom entered into conversation with
in reference to the case to be tried at
Chambersburg. One of the company,
turning to Stevens, said with much earn
estness, "Mr. Stevens, do you really be-
leve Col. A. is an honest man." The
great lawyer, in his inimitable manner,
turning his face full upon his interrog-
tor, replied: II have no doubt of it..
He told me so himself only yesterday"
