72. CSTABLJOIIjED 1831. i LAST EDITION. MEN AND THINGS. THE "TKLEURAPH" LOCAL HAS A CHAT.

HUSTLER Capt. Perkins Hone The Beard of Par dene wee Weary A Historian Who Did Net Know Hie Own Wrltlnjt. An Old Base Ball Scorer Makes a Correction Observations. Captain Perkins, of the "Governor's Troop, has been hunting a good horse for some time, it being his intention to appear at the head of the "critter back comp'ny" in great shape. The fact that he wants a real thoroughbred has spread all over Dauphin and contiguous counties, and he has had sufficient offers from horse owners to fit out the entire company.

Letters by the dozens flow in on him offering him all sorts of animals from a Normandy percheron down to the Shetland pony and the thistle eating Sicilian donkey. The other day he received a letter from a man not. a dozen miles from Harris burg, which he permitted me to copy. As showing the school master abroad it is worth study. It is as follows "Mister perkins my deer siri am informed you want a hos fur youer calvery compeny i Rev one i no will suit you he can gal up trot single fut my wife atends to him i will sell him chep he is 15 hands one half hi he has no had folts he has goode ies and sound lims his gate is 4 minits to the mile i wish you would com up so him one of your cins (signs is on my fense he is 8 old." Captain Perkins has not yet decided what to do.

If he goes up I hope he will see that no more of his "sins" are put on the man's fence, and will remove the one already there. It must be an awful bore to sit as a member of the Board of Pardons (please don't spell that Bored of Pardons, Mr. Printer, al though I don know but what you would be rieht in doing so). Not long ago the Board had sat all afternoon and held a night session to hear argument in a murder case, which it was supposed would end about 10 o'clock. At that hour, however, one of the attorneys had just fairly began his argument; although he had been talking an hour.

At 11 o'clock Board was very tired, and one of the members wrote on a sheet of paper "Shall we sit it through or adjourn This sheet of paper he pushed to his colleague on the right, nnd the latter wrote: "If we adjourn to what hour Passing the sheet back to the first writer who announced: "To morrow at 9 A. sharp." This was followed by a consultation among the members and It was decided to let the ar onmnt cm on. About midnight the attor ney, who had been talking for hours, remarked that he had very little more to say, and wonld soon close. This impressed the Board as a good thing, and one of them wrote on jtbe sheet of paper and passed it along: "That is the most sensible thing has all to night Half an hour passed and still the attorney was hammering away. He hadn't cldied, as he promised.

In despair one of the Board wrote on the paper and handed to a tenderhearted blonde colleague: "Have you a pistol If so, loan it to me for a short time." The tender hearted blonde answered back inmost beautiful manuscript: "The Board has enough to do without having more crime committed. Be patient and prayerful." It was almost 1 o'clock A. H. when the attorney ceased, and for his sake I regret to jsay that I think he talked his case to death. Newspaper men write so much and (in a country daily office especially) cover such a variety of subjects, that very often when they tee articles written by them floating through the exchanges they hardly recognize them, and wonder when they were written.

One of the best known newspaper men in the b'tate is John F. Meginness, of the Wil liamsport Gazette and Bulletin, and he is also somewhat of a historian. Not long ago Mr. Meginness went up to Bellefonte to see Hon. John B.

r.inn to get some data for a new edition of "Otzinachson, a history of the West Branch Valley, he is preparing. Mr. Linn cheerfully turned over his scrap books to the genial Meginness, and then went out to attend to some business. When he got back late in the evening he found Meginness pegging away copying something from the scrap book. Linn looked over his shoulder and chuckled softly.

"What are you laughing at?" asked Me einness. At that article you are copying. You wrote it yourself years ago," said Mr. Linn, and the astonished Meginness scanning it more closely, remarked "Dast my buttons if I didn't," and he banged the book shut Col. Linn solemnly promised that he wouldn't say a word, but it was too good to keep and Meginness told it not to a little biro, but to an Egle and somehow I got bold of it.

Col. William B. Wilson, the manager of tho Kensington freight department at Philadelphia of the Pennsylvania railroad, corrects my history. I don't claim to be perfectly accurate on dates and facts in ancient history, oven though a good many hard winters and an equal number of red hot summers have passed over my devoted head and polished my dome of thought like unto the celluloid billiard bull. Col.

Wilson, trips me up on base ball, and he does it so Kindly that I am constrained to print his letter in full, as follows Philadelphia, March 19, 1888. Dear Sir: A Mend in Central Missouri sends nf a clipping from the Mechanicsburg Journal containing an extract from the Tsleobapb wherein you give honor to the Tyrolean club for playing the first match game of base ball ever played by a Harrisburg clnb and that on November 24th, 1865 in Mechanicsburg. He also gives honor to that club of playing with the Mechanicsburg club on December 1st, 1865, the first match game of baseball ver played in Harrisburg. Oh how misleading to the present generation are the errors of careless historians, and how shamefully are the slights placed on modest pioneers. When the Tyroleans, as individuals, had not progressed beyond "parlor" ball there was a noble band of youths bearing aloft the base ball standard of Harrisburg.

They were bunded together under the name of the Keystone base ball club, of Harrisburg. Robert Snodgrass was at one time captain of the nine; David M'Cargo, now superintendent of. the Alleghany Valley railroad; Robert B. Gemmell, now superintendent of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad, at Topeka; Richard L. Head, representing the Pennsylvania railroad in New England, and my brother "Cam" were all active members of the club, and, if I am not mistaken, William Ro dearmel dropping "cat" and "corner" ball, which he had learned in Lebanon, took from the Keystone, if not his "baptism of fire" in, his first view of, base balL After a considerable amount of practice the "Keystone" challenged the "Mountain Club," of Altoona, to a match game.

The challenge was Accepted, and the game came off on the "Round House lot" on a warm morning tn August, 1862. Samuel D. Young, then superintendent of the P. K. ran a special train from the depot to the grounds with the clubs and their friends.

The game was an exciting one, and was witnessed by several hundred ladies and gentlemen. The score ran up into the sixties. In the sixth inning M'Cargo tried to stop a "daisy cutter" with his nose, and the result was a flow of claret that caused an intermission of ten minutes in the inning until a surgeon bound up the wounds. At the close of the eighth inning the Mountain club were leading by 13 runs, but in the ninth inning the "Keystones," by careful work, tied the game, and a tenth inning was necessary to decide. In that inning the Mountain club made 5 runs and the "Kevstone" 8.

and the um pire, a member of the "Empire" base ball club of Philadelphia, decided the game in favor of the latter. The prize ball was presented by the umpire and received on behalf of the Keystone by Captain Hunt, in a very neat and impressive speech. The special train then took the party to the depot, where Dave Hutchinson entertained the two clubs at dinner. wu n. member of the Kevstone, and its official scorer on the occasion of this earlier match game.

Harrisburg should be proud of Spencer Gilbert and cannot put too many laurel wreaths upon his brow, for he is one of its best specimens of a noble manhood and deserving of all honors paid him, but if you are going to crown the first scorer of the first match game of base ball in Harrisburg yon must pass Spencer by and express me that laurel wreath to wear until some older fellow proves his better claim to it. Look through the files of the Telegraph and the Patriot and Union for August, 1862, and yon will find the game reported. Harrisbnrg must not forget its ancient heroes. If they are absent from, its boundaries it should not let their well earned laurels fade. "Tis hard to be torn away from the home fastenings and compellod to live in the land of the stranger but to have one's name stricken trom the homo record is cruelty intensified.

The score book of the game mentioned has been lost and whether any of the records of the "Keystone" are in existence sow or not, I know not. The little fuss between Mr. Lincoln and Jeff Davis was on the carpet at the time absorbing public attention and in consequence the base ball practice of the "Keystone" club of Harrisburg was al lowed to drop into "innocuous desuetude," and yon in delving into ancient history don't seem to have dropped on to its. achievements.

CORNSTALK MILITIA REVIEWS. TALK ABOUT THE OLD TIME MUS TERS IN HARRISBURG. Our Splendid National Guard Coinpareq with the Militia aa It wan Organized Before the Mexican War Review Days In Harrisburg: An Old Citizen's Reminiscence. It goes without saying that every loyal Pennsylvanian is proud of that splendid body of citizens which we are pleased to call our National Guard. Over eight thousand trained, enniTroed and disciplined men constitute a force that not only com mands respect and admiration, but evi dences in the most striking and effective way the ability of the State to take care of itself in any emergency.

nave good reason to feel a pride in their superb militia force, because it surpasses any similar organization of State troops in this country or any other. I remember very well the inspiring military pageant in Washington at the time of Garfield's inauguration, when an old Crimean soldier at my elbow fairly went wild in his enthusiasm over the appearance of the Pennsylvania soldiers as they marched down Pennsylvania avenue. There was no glitter of tinsel or gaudy display of flashy color; no fancy movements designed for show: no absence of military bearing. But there was everything that delights the heart 01 the soiaier in inai marching column solid and uniform color, strict discipline and perfection of alignment and step. As I stood beside that old Crimean veteran and heard his complimentary and critical allusions to the troops from my native soil, I confess that I felt like taking him by the hand and acquainting him with the important fact that too, came trom the same State as the boys in blue swinging down the broad avenue in front of us.

It is with crreat satisfaction that I have ob served the more liberal attitude or tne legisla ture toward the National Guard in recent years, it was not always inns. iniouatuui' mittee of officers, consisting of Governor Bea ver. Generals Hartranft, Osborne, Selfridge and others, met in Harrisburg for the purpose of drafting a code for presentation to the Leg ialat.nra. hut this code hadn a ghost of a chance when it was subsequently submitted to the solons at the Capitol. It was def eated hAfnrp.

it was fairlv introduced, but not a whit dismayed by this summary disposal of their measure "these men who had the interests of the organized militia most at heart persevered, succeeding one session after another in having their plans approved until at tho last meeting 01 the an tne tin. laws were codified and passed in the shape most desirable to the military anthori ties. Every year has Drongni ooui suuw improvement in the Guard and each year is increasing its emciency. Ye Olden Time. It is not, however, of the organized militia of the present day that I intended to write but more particularly of the unorganized citizen soldiers who were wont to meet once a vear for muster and review in the olden time when the men of to day were boys.

Those were en eat davs before the Mexican war, and it does me good to fall in with an old resident who is possessed of a good memory and who can talk intelligently of the "battalion days. I imagine even now that I can see the smile broaden upon many atace as those words recall the almost forgotten mus ter and review. Last night I chatted with mv old friend Mr. W. W.

Boyer, who has lived in Harrisburg all his life, and from whose fund of reminiscence I gathered a large number of interesting incidents or the old time militia period. At one time Mr. Boyer was first lieutenant of one of the four companies in Harrisburg, but later he was pro moted, as the following commission will show: Tn t.ne nnme and dv tne aumonur ui iuc uiu monwealth ot Pennsylvania, and in oDeaienue and bv the authority of the act of the General Assembly relating to the military of this Commonwealth Tn RnvBR.

Given under the ftand and seal of the Brigadier General and the commanding officer of the reiriment. this 80th day of May, Anno Domini commanaing uimxr vow xveg imcut. C. Sbilex, Brigadier General, 1st Brie flea Penn'a Militia. This commission was written by Col.

Jacob Seiler, father of Prof. Jacob and D. W. Seiler, of Harrisburg, the Brigadier General referred to being their nncle, Dr. Christian Seiler.

Most of the old mi litia officers have ioined the great army which is now bivouacking in the land beyond. Among those still in our midst and who took a prominent part in these famous reviews, whose name is known to all old Harrisburgers, is Col. Jacob Babb, who commanded one of the companies in Harrisburg, and who was once an associate of General Cameron in the printing business. The companies commanded by Captains Babb and Boyer xwere recruited in the district south of Market street Babb's men assembled at the "Black Horse" tavern, which stood upon the site of the present Harris Park school building, and the men under Captain Boyer made the "Seven Stars" tavern, at Second and Chestnut streets, their place of rendezvous. Outline of the Old System.

Before proceeding further, however, per mit me to briefly outline the militia law of those days for the benefit of the younger ceneration who know little or nothing of the system of military training to which the'eitizens between the ages of 21 and 45 years were subject prior to the Mexican war. Under the militia law passed soon after the second war with England air the men between the ages stated were required to meet as companies in the several towns for drill. This occurred in May of each year and was known as "Muster Day." A week later each regiment had to meet for annual "review. Captains were appointed and they were expected to enroll their companies, the number of men in each district subject to military duty thus being obtained. The captains received three cents per man as compensation for the time and labor spent in the enrollment.

Every man who failed to appear on "muster day" was fined one dollar. This fine was a. way furbished, Ut coarse, nnaer me iaw an me expected to carry guns, but it happened that there would a half dozen guns in company, the others being men ere frequently not be an entire armed with corn staiKs, sucks, ana an manner of Vweapons." On "muster day" the roll was Veiled and absentees were noted. Captains and other officers were elected every three years, and at thsse musters they were a target for all sorts of missiles, gravel, stones and dirt being hurled at them by the undisciplined mob. Sometimes a pompous officer would resent these indignities, bnt his last state was always worse than the first.

Holiday of Ail Holidays. The review, in which all the companies in the county participated, was a great day and at that time was the leading holiday of the year. On this occasion nearly every man, woman and child put in an appearance. It was a burlesque in some respects on military order and discipline, as the militia to a large degree were unarmed, without uniforms and lacking in discipline, so that they were well termed "cornstalk troops, a name very commonly applied to them in those days by the few organized volunteers. The only re lieving feature, and that which gave the militia of the period any respectable character, was the many men of prominence who were appointed to nil the high positions.

Usually the Major Generals and Brigadier Generals were men of fit? highest character. David Porter before he was elected Gov ernor was a Major General. General John Potter, of Centre county, was anotner, on whose staff was ex Governor CnrUn, then a young man. Abbot Green, of Union county, was another. There were also many othera whose names I have forgotten.

Major Ucn oi a TToio nf Mifflin county, who was an owimnli'eTinrl milttarV WOS the lt Major General under the old law. When the late war broke out he was appointed Quartermaster General of the State by Governor Curtin. The State, I should explain, furnished military regulations, (books com piled from the regular army regulations, Scott's Tactics, etc), and the reviews were made to conform to their requirements. An fri'0nH nf min flen. T.

F. COY, Ot r.pwisfnwn tn whom I am indebted for a por tion of the information herein contained, writes: "I suppose these crude miliiary pa geants may have contributed Bomeuung towards cultivating and perpetuating ouwui the TnilitAfv smrit and power oevwoucu later years, and if so, they have served a good purpose. There is so much that coma do wnncu i the old militia period that it is not possible to give more than an ontline or it in an ar tWe nf this length. Before closing, how ever, I want to give the Teleobaph readers Captain Boyer's description of the review r1a.vs as t.hev were in Harrisbnrg. What ia trn nf this rftv will aonlv equally as well ta everv other town faf'the State, the athprinirH were about the same everywhere.

'I Rtfriew Days In Harrisbur "Thev were cn eat davs. great days. mused my old friend. Everybody came into tnwn fnr mi'lpa Aronnd and the ginger cakes mri small heer and nretzels had to suffer. Yes.

All the romnanies in the county would semhle here. When all had arrived a line would be formed in Market square and we would march to Maclay's field, that part of the city above South street, or to Hanna woods, where the day wonld be spent in drilling'.

On everv side around tne held wonld be hucksters' wagons and cake stands and all manner of booths, where' vou could buv anvtmng ana every tuiug. It was something like a great picnic, because the town Deome wonia come out in urar A. A.1 in carriages and evervbody watched the green men trying to drill. To these reviews every country boy bronght his best girl and stutted her with gingerbread ana conntry maae "cr, both staple articles of commerce with street venders at that tune, uuns, cornstaixs anq broomhandles were all carefully the colonel, the privilege of holding whose horse was an occasion for great rivalry on the part of the small boy. It was also the day for the settlement of differences between pugilistic individuals from adjacent or widely separated sections of the county, inese fights generally took place in a nng formed by the horses of the troopers present, and the victor always shook hands with the van quished at the conclusion of the milL There were never any arrests, everybody regarding the numerous fights as a feature of the occa sion.

The commands of the big omcers were given in stentorian tones and were often'' ridiculous, ior instance, a command to wheel would often be "Swing aronnd like a gate or "Right wheel around Betsy Amnion's corner, which was a famons cake stand at Lewisbnrg. The uniformed com panies there were three of them in Harris burg always drilled with the one day sol diers and had the right of the line. The old market houses were Filled with Cake Stands and eating places and the city was always crowded with people. At the reviewing field each hnckster and owner of a stand was charged from 25 to 50 cents for the space occupied and the fund thus raised went to de fray the expense of the day. One time my company was detailed to picket the field dnr the drill and I collected the rents from the hucksters and others.

Before the day was over myself and comrades spent the proceeds among the cake and other venders, upon hearing which Colonel beiler ordered ns un der arrest We were marched into town and locked in the dining room of the Lochiel ho tel (then Jvneppley tavern) to await trial by court martial. After some hours had elapsed Colonel Seiler slipped qnietly into the room and told us to drop out of the rear window and scatter. We did so and the court martial failed to find us when ready for the trial. That was the last we heard of the matter. In those days there were no railroads, and people thought nothing of walking ten miles or more to see the drilling.

One of the big omcers ot the period was lien. Joel Bailey, father of Mr. George Bailey, of Locust street. lie was brigade inspector. This officer had charge of the arsenal, which was then situ ated on the Capitol grounds.

It was his duty to fill all requisitions for guns and mu nitions of war. Once an artillery company came up irom Lancaster to get a cannon. It was given them and they pulled it down in front of Governor Wolf's residence, which was on Second street, below Chestnut. Here they fired a salute and broke allthn windows in the vicinity, including those of the Ex ecutive mansion. This done they dragged tl piece away and left the city in great triumph.

Repeal of the Law. Thus Captain Boyer went on, bnt I cannot without overstepping ray limit In closing I may add that the old militia practices ended with the Mexican war, after which the or ganization of volunteer companies became general, many of them going to the front in 1861. 1 he law levying a militia tax of 50 cents was repealed in 1874 or thereabouts.

"THE OLD FELLOW" ON THE HARRI SON AND TYLER CAMPAIGN. Interesting Reminiscences of the Meeting of the Whig National Convention In this City John Tyler's Visit to liar rtebnrg His Promise to a II ar rlsbnrs Lady CoL Samuel Sehoch Robert Tyler, eVr. Hahrisbueo, March 24th, 1888. My Uear Boy: Occasionally I meet Colonel William W. Tyler, of the European Hotel, this city.

What a charming, intelligent, in teresting gentleman, and one of the most generous and hospitable of hosts. He comes from distinguished, illustrious stock. His grandfather was Governor of Virginia; his father was a leading man in the affairs of his native State; his nncle was a member of Congress, then Governor of Virginia, then a V. b. Senator, and subsequently became President of the United States.

With all the grace and gallantry peculiar to the old time Virginia gentleman. Colonel Tyler is modest, unassnming and nnobtrn ye, and only at times will "let himself out In ante bellum days, in "Old Virginny," he was a man of affluence. The fortunes of war have reduced him in circumstances, but the same courtliness. the same generous aabits, the same kindly spirit are part and parcel of bis composition now as in the days of yore. I hope there are many years yet in store for my venerable friend, and that the evening of his days may prove the most pleasant of his long and eventful life.

"How John Tyler Became President." I was led to speak of Colonel Tyler by reason of a paper I received the other day, the Fredericksburg (Va.) Free Lance, which contained an editorial with the above head ing, and which is given herewith A gentleman of this place who has long been identified with politics, in speaking of tne location of the National Democratic Convention at St Louis, instead of San Francisco, said: 'It is a good thing for dele gates of limited means, as they wonld not have been able to bear the expense of a trip across the continent to San Francisco, and in this connection told the following story of ex President John Tyler, who was elected one of the delegates in 1840 to jjrtterid tne Whig convention held that He at Harrisburg, said Mr. Tyler declined to go as a dele gate because his best suit of clothes was not good enough. A new smt was presented by a'friend and Mr. Tyler induced to attend the 'convention. The nomination of Gen.

Harrison, over Mr. Clay (Virginia's favorite), pro otaced such dissatisfaction among the dcle liates, in order to appease which the conven tion agreed to allow them to name the Vice President. Benj. Watkins Leigh, the Lnited States Senator from Virginia, was offered the second place on the ticket bnt declined it, and petulantly said, 'Give it to John This done, and Harrison and Tyler elected. Just one month from his inauguration "President Harrison died, and John Tyler, as na lawful successor, became President of the United States.

So it will be seen what a Und action sometimes brings forth." Not Quite Correct. The above article is essentially correct in all bnt'one particular. President Tyler was not fastidious in reference to dress, but on the contrary rather careless. After his friend expostulated with him in reference to his somewhat shabby appearance, Mr. Tyler agreed to have himself measured for and did procure a new suit with which to attend the Harrisbnrg Convention, bnt he never would impose on a mend for this or any other favor.

This fact I learned from Colonel Tjler, who was "familiar with the cirenm stance. John Tyler did attend the conven tion, of which 1 shall speak further on, was nominated for and elected Vice President and in a month after the inauguration be came President on account of the death of General Harrison. Air. Tyler In Harrisbura The visit of John lyler to Harrisbnrg in December, 1839, as a member of the Whig National Convention, must be pleasantly remembered by the few. alas, how few, who were among the residents half a century ago.

John Tyler was a man of great ability, refined, courteous and affable, and made a fa vorable impression upon every one who met him. and more especially the family whose guest he was. One of the youug ladies of the household, who was quite pretty and ac complished, became much interested in him, and he treated her with exceeding gallantry. Jnst before leaving for his home, she raid Mr. Tyler, when you become President I want an office." Without the least hesitation, he responded "Miss, you shall have one." Nothing was thought of this little pleasantry at the time by cither party, but the occasion came when Mr.

Tyler was able to respond in the most satisfactory man ner. Not long after he became President this young lady, as a' bride, vixited Wash ington, and on reminding President Tyler of his promise, her husband was appointed to a lucrative and responsible position. The name of this young lady is doubtless familiar to more than one reader of the Telegraph, for her family was long prominent in the social and other circles of Harrisbnrg. The Convention Which Nominated "Tippe canoe and Tyler Too." Now I come to speak of the Whig Na tional Convention which nominated William Henrv Harrison, of Ohio, for President and John Tyler, of Virginia, for Vice President It assembled in Harrisburg at no.m, on Wednesday, the 4th day of December, 1839. The place of meeting was the Zion Lutheran church, on Fourth street, of which the Rev.

Dr. Gilbert is now pastor, or as the Chronicle of December 11, said, "in the new Lutheran church at this place, agreeably to the arrangements which bad previously Iecn made for their accommodation in that newly erected edifice. The Temporary Officers. consisted of Hon J. C.

Bates, of Massachusetts, as chairman, and Hon. Charles B. Penrose and CoL John Swiff, of Pennsyl vania, as secretaries. Mr. Penrose was at that time a State Senator from the Cumberland district while Colonel Swift had pre viously been and was subsequently Mayor of Philadelphia, and was well known as the life long friend and champion of Henry Claj.

The Permanent Organization. The names of the following distinguished Whigs of the long ago appear as permanent Officers: President Governor James Barbour, of Virginia. Vice Jfresidents uov. j. a.

The nomination of Mr. Tyler was made on Saturday. He received Mi. votes, me irginia delegates declining to vote, because Mr.

Tyler was one of their number, and had requested them not to do so. The Proceedings fill one page or six broad columns of the Chronicle, and to the student of political history wonld, prove a rare and interesting is treat There were many skilled and elo quent debaters in attendance, and their re marks were listened to, we are informed. with the greatest interest and excited the wildest enthusiasm among the delegates and crowds of spectators. The different day proceedings were opened with prayer by the clergy of the then borough. The names given are those of the Rev.

The disappointment of this gen tleman ran be imagined, when it ia known that he traveled over three thousand miles for the express purpose of attending the conven tion, making that his sole business for this great journey. He was detained bv low water and other untoward circumstances. It is needless to say that he most heartily ap proves oi the nominations. Some Scene and Incidents. The convention, which at times had been stormy, for the friends of Clay gave np their idol and preference reluctantly, ended in great harmony, and the nominations of Harrison and Tyler were "received with ac clamation and shouting from all corners of the house.

Thanks were voted to the clergy, and also the trustees of the church for the nse of the building. The Chronicle aara: "It is understood tbev gave a more tangible and satisfactory evidence of their feelings by paying something nandsome tor the nse of the church. That "something handsome, my good friend Dr. Egle, the efficient State Librarian, tells me was the giving of 1,000, How many churches in Harrisbnrg now would not like to be the recipients of so handsome a dona tion from a political body The Campaign, which followed, was long and bitterly contested, and according to the newspapera of the day was full of scurrility and mud flinging.

It was known as the Log Cabin and Hard Cider Campaign, and clee clubs were i iicai iwr uic nrst iu a political canvass. The best songs written for the Harrison people were those of the venerable CoL Samuel Schoch, of Columbia, as able and gifted in prose as poetry. A nonage rarian in years, he still takes a warm interest in public attain, and the ravers and good wishes of host of friends all over the Commonwealth are with him in the sunset of las long, active and honorable life. Kohert Tyler. Permit me to conclude these reminiscences wi.h a brief allusion to a man with whom I was quite well acquainted.

That was Roliert Tyler, the eldest on of President Tvler, who closely resembled his distinguished father, and was private seorctarr during the administration. He was an able Kwyer. eloquent sneaker, and fine scholar, having to a great extent inherited bis father's great gifts. When I knew Robert 1 ylcr he wm practicing law in lhiladelihia. and about 19S8 or '59 was chairman of the Democratic State Committee of Penn sylvania.

I heard him make number of political ficches, and the last address was of a literary na ture before the students of the Millenrille State Normal School near Laucaoter. It was scholarly, interesting, full of good 1 points, and well received. At the begin ning ot the war he went to Montgomery. Alabama.
