remains that he had no powers or

An Old Lady's Boast.

Those who have charge of charitable in
situations for the aged poor will tell you
that no topic is more pleasing to some poor
oldwomen than the discussion of their
"better days" when they were the fortu-
nate possessors of everything heart could
wish for" rs they are apt to express it.
One old lady never tires of describing
the finery she had when she was bride.
Another boasts Of having once owned a
"gold band chany teaset" and six "solid
silver teaspoons, while third dwells at
great length on the elegance Of a lowered
silk gown and satin parasol with fringe
Is inches long that she once owned.
One poor cid woman never says any
thing until the others are done Boosting.
Then she calmly remarks:
"Well, never had no chany tea things,
nor no silk gowns, nor embroidered petit
coats, nor openwork stockings, nor gold
eardrops, nor nothin of that sort, but
have had four husbands, and I'd like to
know if any of you can beat thatl'-.

Stirring Events that Fuitowed the Moment
Gus Election of 1860.
All the world also knows of the revolt
of the south against the result of that
canvass-the election of Republican
president. Curtin first met Lincoln on
Feb. % at Harrisburg. The prosident-clect
was OH his way to Washington, and at
private conference, ut which Governor
Curtin was present. the startling news
was told that n plot against Lincoln's life
had been discovered. Governor Curtin
was foremost in devising the plan for
Lincolns secret journey to the national
capital, that is now history. He invited
Lincoln to spend the night at his house,
and to allay suspicion left the remainder
of the presidential party at the hotel. In
stead of taking the president to his house,
Curtin drove with him to tho outskirts OF
the town, where a special train was in
waiting the telegraph wires having previ-
ously been cut to prevent news OF Lin
coins movements becoming public.
Shortly afler his Inauguration President
Lincoln called Governor Curtin to Wash
ington and asked him to recognize the
existence of civil war i'm a message to tho
Pennsylvania legislature. This Curtin did
in q document that, considering the haste
with which 1t was prepared and and all at
tendant circumstances, must be regarded
as one of the strongest of modern state
papers. Its effect was instantaneous-al-
most magical-and within forty. eight
hours the state Legislature had authorized
the governor to raise and equip troops for
tho defense of the Union and had appropri.
ated 5000 to pay the bills When Lin.
coin called for $4,000 men the soldiers OF
