Pennsylvania has state tax on

by the Secretary of Internal Affairs,
are amusing, The population of the
state is about 4,50O, 600. The number
of voters last November was 900, 900.
But in ell this population and this army
ofvotera there were only IS 1886 watches,

would appear that there were last yesr
4,454, 404 Pennsylvanians, not one Of
which had watch.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher said,
in response to one Of his cranky people,
who is opposed to roller skating: These
places are said to be immoral, are they
Well. the same was said of our old New
England singing schools, which also
brought our young people together.
However, I think too highly of our
American young men and girls to be-
ieve that they would misbehave them
selves in being brought in contact; of,
course, allowing for the usual discount

der Prof. Alonzo Crittenden.
Tho young ladies had assembled for.
the customary devotional exercises, and
were surprised tn zee . rude wooden
platform occupying the place Of the
professors table. An odd-looking in
strument stood upon the bench, and be-
hind it sat . bright, restless little man
with curly black hair, whose presence
we instantly connected with that Of the
machine.
At the close Of the exercises, Prof.
Crittenden stepped forward and said,
young ladies, I have the pleasure to
exhibit to you an instrument which, il
it proves successful, will revolutlonize
many important interests of the world.
It is called the Electric Telegraph, and
is intended to transmit messages Instant
y. The inventor, Prof. Morse, who is
here for the purpose of exhibiting the
instrument to the legislature, will now
kindly explain its working to you"
How kind and patient he was, and
how much we enjoyed crowding around
at his request, and telling him our names
to be telegraphed from one end Of tho
bench to the other.
When he gave Us the little slips con-
tanning them we thought them nice for
curiosities, but we little realized how
vast power that pleasant little man had
ptisoned in his invention.
Forty years is but q short time in the
history Of our busy nation, but it has
scattered that group of girls until I
wonder If another Of these memorial slips
could be found, or if there is any other
person who recalls the episode.

General Jub.l Early.

Old Jubal EARLY is q character in
Virginia. he is drawn up into q hard
knot with rheumatism, and has face
like hickory nut. His voice is pitched
on very high key, and he is COM
pound Of shrewdness and sarcasm in
equal parts. He was strongly opposed
to secession at the beginning Of the
war, although he fought gallantly
when fighting was inevitable. In the
Virginia convention of 1861 he attacked
the conduct of South Carolina bitterly.
After the war had actually begun he
had in his brigade a South Carolina
regiment. It was observed that old Ju.
bal was always sure to put that regi-
ment in the most ticklish place when
the brigade was under fire. During
ono of the battles around Richmond
Early's brigade was ordered to the
front, and, as usual, Early made the
South Carolina fellows head the column
squeaking out at the top of his voice Is
he rode up to them: Eyes, I'll send
you to the front and keep you there too.
You got us into this, and, d-n You.
you've got to get us out!"
During the war he went to church only
once, and his experience then was not
such as to encourage him to 70 again.
It was in the winter of 1864, when the
Southern States were agitating the ex-
pediency Of CONSUMPTION. General
Early was one of the most ardent advo-
Gates of it. He talked of CONSUMPTION
in season and out of season, and wanted
to conscript everything. One Sunday
morning, to the amazement of his staff,
he proposed that they should ride over
to neighboring church and hear the
sermon. The officers were nearly para
lyzed at the proposition, but, of course,
consented promptly. The country con-
gregation were astonished at seeing
General Early and his entire staff march
solemnly into the church and take their
seats in the front pews. As soon IS old
Jubal settled himself he laid his head
back and relapsed into comfortable
nap. The clergyman took for his subject
the testimony Of the truths Of CHRISTIAN
ity. After preaching an hour or two
he asked: "What would you say, nv
brethren, if the dead of all times and
nations and ages should pass In solemn
review before you? What would your
feelings at seeing this vast and count
less multitude from the grave? What
would you do with this army of men of
all trades, all grades, all professions.
all of every kind before you? I repeat"
with wllack on the desk, "what would
you do?"
"Do?" bawled Jubal, suddenly
aroused from his nap. I'D conscript
every ono of them!
A roar went up from the congrega-
tion, and Jubal made bee line for the
door.
