stWhere's Your EaIin e''

The Western bound train on the
Eaton and Hamilton Railroad arrived
at Eaton station the other day, when u
brakeman thrust his head into the car
and shouted:
"EatOnw
The cry aroused an old couple of rus
tic aspect who had been doing along
the road, bobbling their aged heads
together in way peculiar to old
couples when journeying on cars. Have
you ever noticed them? They can't talk
because the noise of the train browns
their falling voices. They get tired
watching the telegraph poles as they fly
another direction, and they gradually
get drowsy, falling asleep at about the
same time. They sit up very firm at
first, but soon their heads nod and roll
about, coming together with crushing
results as to the old lady's new Leg
horn, which wakes her up in alarm.
She gives "father" an admonishing
The old mans head rolls around again,
fills back, his mouth opens, he gives a
snore and start, when his hat falls off
into Il back street.
Some benevolent person puts it on
his head again, and the drowsy is soon
resumed. Old lady has n narrow es-
cape from losing her head as it falls
gives lunge sideways, which nearly
precipitates her into tho passage way,
while the old man "caroms" on the
window, and dives on the back of fat
woman in front of him, smashing his
hat over his eyes in an aggrated way.
Eaton J" shouted the brakeman.
"EatOn ~ shonted the old gentleman,
tugging away to release himself from
his hat. "Glad ont. I'm dreadful
hungry. Como, ma, let's go out and
eat."
They stumbled drowsily along the
passage and got out upon the platform,
looking around i'll a hungry and ex-
ceedingly bewildered manner, but not
finding what they were looking for,
the old man inquiries of a bystander
"Where's your edtin?"
"This is Eaton," was the reply.I
The old couple looked about moro be-
wildered than over. They saw nothing
but two or three trunks, few carpet
bags and truck. [They couldn't be
expected to eat such truck.
Goodness myv said the old lady,
''if this is your eatin', what air your
stomicks made Off"
Perhaps you want to go to the viii
laGe, said an obliging native standing
by. "FOllOw that street [pointing in
the direction of II distant spfre1 about n
mile, and you will find Eaton"
Cant we find any cdtin' short OF n
mile? How long does the train stop ?"
"Three minutes"
"Law, me, let's got aboard. We're
too old to make it,"
And the old couple got aboard, grum-
bling ut an Arrangement which an
nOunced "eatin'" mile away, and
only gives You three minutes to take it

The OIL Interests of West Virginia.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
The oil interests of West Virginia
have grown to such magnitude that the
old fogy manner of transporting the
product from the wells to the railroad
by wagon is about to be superseded,
and railroad, to be known as the Lau-
rel Fork and Sand Hill Railroad, has
been granted a charter. The most pro-
ductive oil region of West Virginia yet
developed being confined to the local
ity known us White Oak, the proposed
railroad is to extend from Laurel, a
station on the Northwestern Railroad,
run up Laurel Fork to Goose Creek and
to the wells on White Oak, reaching the
famous Clements well of the Logan
Company, n distance of three and half
miles. Mr.. w. H. Kennedy, Chief En-
gineer of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
estimates the cost of building the road
and putting it in complete running
order, including motive power, at one
hundred thousand dollars. The busi-
ness of the rOad, including freights and
passengers, is estimated ut nine hum
dred and fifty dollars per diem, and
the expenses ut one hundred and fifty
dollars per diem, which would realize
n profit of $240,OOO per annum.
Two thousand shares of stock, at $50
each, have been issued, and the stock
holders meet tomorrow at Parkers-
burg, when the contract will he given
out to responsible parties, who have
already offered to build and complete
the road within ninety days, and 1t is
expected to have the railroad in run
ming order before the wagon routes be-
come impossible.

Our evenings are cool, and when the
days march has not been too fatiguinC
the soldiers gather around cedar-wOod
camp fire, and, in their way, indulge
in camp gossip. listened to II discus
sion last evening on the comparative
merits, or rather dement's, of the va
riOuS military posts at which they had
seen service.
(which was the coldest post?"
y candidate from ROuSe'S Point pre-
sented its claims, who was distanced by
another from Detroit, who was in fact
ignOminiOusly routed by II cavalrymnn
why had wintered at Pembina.
(which is the hottest post?" was lOgi-
cnlly and moteOrologically the next
question.
Tampa Bay, Key West, and Point
Isabel were all warmly advocated; but
the discussion was sthOrOughly-indce'l
one might say ermetically-closcd by
n three-cheVrOned veteran, who with u
HOmerlc wave of tho hand imposed
silence.
AN were attentive to the wRrlIke man,
When rising from his couch he thus began
"Boys! Did any of You ever hear OF
Fort Yuma ?"
Not one of them!
"Well, Fort Yuma is clear over be-
yond Arizona, near the Gulf of Cali
fornia, where nothing grows, nor flies,
nor runs. It's the hottest post, not only
in the United States, but in creation,
and I'll prove it TO you. You see, i
was ordered there six years ago, and
hadn't been there two weeks, in the
month of August, when two corporals
died. They had been there ever since
the post was n post in old Hoffman's
time. Wcll, they both died, and where
do you think they went2"
No one could possibly imagine.
why, I'll tell you; they both went
straight TO h-lI"
Profound astonishment in the audi
tory.
"Yes, but they hadn't been gone for
ty-eight hours-barely time 10 have
their descriptive lists examined and be
put on fatigue duty down below-when,
one night, the hospital steward was
walked up i'll hurry, and there he saw
the two corpOrals."
"'Whnt do you want says he. You
know them hospital stewards are al.
ways surprised at n soldiers ever want.

says he.
"'We want our blankets says they
'After that you needn't talk to me
about any post being hot as Yuma"
The auditory separated in silence!

A WRITER in the Macon (GaN Tele

A WRITER in the Macon (Ga.) Tele-
graph, speaking in advance of tho pro-
ceedings in the Wigwam, said:
"The idea that we submitted all to
arbitration of the sword, and when the
voice of the sword went against us We
lost all, is false one. The bugle now
sounds the rnllying cry, and we must
give back the swelling echo, "On to
Philadelphia" If we failed to take it
before, let us take it now. While we
nssail it on the South side, n mighty
host of our friends is marching upon
the city from the North. Philadelphia
will be ours; the battle to be fought
there is the first and most important of
the war. When We win the victory we
have but to strike the blow and other
Victories will surely follow, until
Washington, too, shall into or hands"
This is the hopeful South-side view of
the political situation. Will any loyal
man help to realize it2
