TLat is the kind of a mule I would be. "General, how did you happen to go on the stump for Stewart?" As Governor Hoyt will doubtless claim the full credit of whatever measure of success comcs to the Stewart ticket, wedeemitofsufficient importance to present tho following facts as wo find them printed at full length and with great minuteness in the Harrisburg Telegraph of Saturday. The recital will show that Gov. Iloyt's declaration iu Siewarl's favor can only be construed as a laggard in the light who iu the moment of victory is crowding forward to claim the credit. All the prisouers in Prince George county jail at Petersburg, Virginia, escaped by the burning of the lock off a door.

I asked lii'n if he intended lo do tho same thing, and he replied that lie wouldn't speak, but that he would write a letter defining his position. I then consented to talk for Stewart. A day or two afterward I was surprised by a letter that came from Chairman McKoe, thanking me and saying that he had billed me for different parts of the State." Reading. Pa., Nov. 0—The engineer of the midnight expn ss on the Lebanon Valley Railroad discovered some heavy pieces of timberplaced on the track near Warncrsvillo.

Supposed tem porarily insanity, the cause. Vf. D. Howclls contributes to the Century a sketch of Samuel L. Clemens ("Mark Twain in which the following iuoitV"'* of his early life are given: "He got v»rj little learning in school, and like kD many other Americans in whom the litem y urpulse is native, he turned to the local printing office for some of the advantage" from which he was otherwise cut off. Certain records of the three years spent iu the Hannibal Courier office are to be found in Mark Twain's book of sketches; but I beliovn there isyetno history anywhere of the teanderjahre, in which he followed the life of a jwur-piinter from town to town and from city to city, penetrating even so far into the vague and 'abled Ea«t as Philadelphia and New York. He returned to his own country sated, if not satisfied, with his travel, and at seventeen hi resolved to ' learn tho river' from 8'. Louis to New Orleans as a steamboat pilot. Of this period of his life be has given a full account in the delightful series of paper*. ' Piloting on the Mississipj i,' which ha 'printed seven years ago in the Atlanta Monthly. The growth of the railroads and :he outbreak of the civil war put an end to profitable piloting, and at twenty-four hr -. -• C again open to a vocation.

'' i* brother having been appointed Lieut Governor of Nevada Territory, Mr. Clemens went out with him as his private secretary ; but he soon resigned his office and withdrew to the mines. He failed as a miner, in th • ordinary sense ; but the life of the mining camp yielded him the wealth that the pockets of the mountain denied; he had the Midas-touch without knowing it, and all these grotesque experiences have since turned into gold tinder his hand. After hie failure as a miner had become evident eveu to himself, he was glad to take the place of local editor on the Virgiuia City Enterprise, a newspaper for which he had amused himself in writing from time to time. He ha 1 written for the newspapers before this ; few Americans escape that fate ; and as an apprentice in tho Hannibal Courier office his bnmor had embroiled some of the leading citizens and impaired tho fortunes o." that journal by the alienation of several delinquent subt-eiib rs.

TLat is the kind of a mule I would be. "General, how did you happen to go on the stump for Stewart?" As Governor Hoyt will doubtless claim the full credit of whatever measure of success comcs to the Stewart ticket, wedeemitofsufficient importance to present tho following facts as wo find them printed at full length and with great minuteness in the Harrisburg Telegraph of Saturday. The recital will show that Gov. Iloyt's declaration iu Siewarl's favor can only be construed as a laggard in the light who iu the moment of victory is crowding forward to claim the credit. All the prisouers in Prince George county jail at Petersburg, Virginia, escaped by the burning of the lock off a door. The Work of Train Wreckers "When Governor Hoyt was here a little whilo ago ho ono dav said to me that he thought that I ought to enmo out for the Independents when Stewart came here to sp' ak. I asked lii'n if he intended lo do tho same thing, and he replied that lie wouldn't speak, but that he would write a letter defining his position. I then consented to talk for Stewart. A day or two afterward I was surprised by a letter that came from Chairman McKoe, thanking me and saying that he had billed me for different parts of the State." Reading. Pa., Nov. 0—The engineer of the midnight expn ss on the Lebanon Valley Railroad discovered some heavy pieces of timberplaced on the track near Warncrsvillo.

A short, distance further on ho discovered a hand-car on the track, but was able to stop ill time. It appeals that some o le broke into the tool-house and pushed the hand-car upon the track.

Supposed tem porarily insanity, the cause. Vf. D. Howclls contributes to the Century a sketch of Samuel L. Clemens ("Mark Twain in which the following iuoitV"'* of his early life are given: "He got v»rj little learning in school, and like kD many other Americans in whom the litem y urpulse is native, he turned to the local printing office for some of the advantage" from which he was otherwise cut off. Certain records of the three years spent iu the Hannibal Courier office are to be found in Mark Twain's book of sketches; but I beliovn there isyetno history anywhere of the teanderjahre, in which he followed the life of a jwur-piinter from town to town and from city to city, penetrating even so far into the vague and 'abled Ea«t as Philadelphia and New York. He returned to his own country sated, if not satisfied, with his travel, and at seventeen hi resolved to ' learn tho river' from 8'. Louis to New Orleans as a steamboat pilot. Of this period of his life be has given a full account in the delightful series of paper*. ' Piloting on the Mississipj i,' which ha 'printed seven years ago in the Atlanta Monthly. The growth of the railroads and :he outbreak of the civil war put an end to profitable piloting, and at twenty-four hr -. -• C again open to a vocation. He listened for n moment to the loudly calling drum of that dme, and be was actually in camp for three reeks on the rebel side ; but the unorganized force to which he belonged wan disbanded, and ho finally did not 1 go with hie motion ' either in sentiment or in fact. '' i* brother having been appointed Lieut Governor of Nevada Territory, Mr. Clemens went out with him as his private secretary ; but he soon resigned his office and withdrew to the mines. He failed as a miner, in th • ordinary sense ; but the life of the mining camp yielded him the wealth that the pockets of the mountain denied; he had the Midas-touch without knowing it, and all these grotesque experiences have since turned into gold tinder his hand. After hie failure as a miner had become evident eveu to himself, he was glad to take the place of local editor on the Virgiuia City Enterprise, a newspaper for which he had amused himself in writing from time to time. He ha 1 written for the newspapers before this ; few Americans escape that fate ; and as an apprentice in tho Hannibal Courier office his bnmor had embroiled some of the leading citizens and impaired tho fortunes o." that journal by the alienation of several delinquent subt-eiib rs.
