The Anger GahYial.

Major G. had an old darkcy to whom
he was greatly attached. Orc evening,
at party, Peter, from imbi5ng too free
y of various mixtures, began dancing a.
round The room with waiter containing
some ice and cakes. and soon hccame up
roarious. Observing his conduct, the
Major publicly reprimanded him and at
once dismissed him from his post Of wait
er for that eyenings.nd appointcd anoth-
er servant in his place. This last stroke
Was too much for old Peter aud he re-
tired to bed in despair That IniSht
Capt. X, jolly young officer in tie
room adjoining hearing Peters sobs and
groans in the next room, rose tos'uQuiIe
what wassthc matter lie opened tho
loor Of Peters room and rcconnoiercd.
Peter was kneeIing by window and
praying. Amid his loud cries the Cap
tain heard the following :-"Oh Lord,
have pity upon tho poor oil servant.
His massa, who he used to take upon his
knee when he vas boy, is vcxed with
this poor old darkcy, and | don't want to
live any longer. 0, dear Lord, please
send the angel Gabriel, this minnie;
am ready 10 go!'
Capt. H., evcrI ready for fun, immcd-
lately soizad white counterpane and on-
velcpiog himself in it, raped three times
at Peters door.
"Who' s dar ~ exclaimed Peter.
"Thc angel Gabriel, come to take old
Peter to Father Abraham's bosom !"
replied Capt. K. in scpnlchra tone.
"De who, massa ?" (earfulIy asked Ito

"Well, I'll just tell you, m1ssa, dat
niggcr don't live here; don't know him
at all -
Capt. X rushed Rack to the company,
convulsed with laughter. and old Peter
relates to this day the wonderful answer
to his prayer.

Suffrage for the Ladies.

"Mark Twain" the California humor-
ist, who is now in st. Louis, communi.
Gates to the St Louis Democrat his views
Of vomanhood sufra GO, as follows:
I have read the long list of lady pc
tiione,s in favor Of female suffrage, and
as a husband and father want to protest
against the whole business 1t will new
er do for all women to vote. 1t will new
er do to allow them TO hold Office. You
know, and know, that if they were
granted these privileges, there would be
no more peace on earth. They would
swamp the country with debt. They
like to hold office too well. They like to
be Mrs President Smith, Of the Djrcas
Society, or Mrs. Secretary Jones Of the
tiiudoo Aid Association, or Mrs Treas
urer Of something or o her. They are
fond Of the distinction Of the thing. you
know-they revcl in The sweet Jingle Of
the ti,le, They are always setting up
sanclied conftacratons Of all kinds, and
then running for President of them
They are even so fond Of lfiice that they
are willing 10 serve without pay. But
allow them to vote and 90 to the L"gis-
ature once, and then see how it will be.
They will 60 to work and start a thousand
more societies, and cram them iuI Of
salaried ,ficcrs. You will see a state
Of things then that will stir your feelings
to the bottom Of your pockets. The first
fee bill would cx1sperate you some

RGllr KIND OF PEEACHING.-Dr.

which was told by a wcll-known Irish
character, Thadcus Connolly, who used
to spend much of his time in wandering
through Ireland, and instructing the
lower classes in their native language,
Il wcnt,' said lie, Zone Saturday into
a church to which q new incumbent had
been lately appointed. The congrega-
ton did not exceed half a dozen, but the
preacher delivered himself with as
much energy and affection rs if he was
addressing crowded audience. After
the service, | expressed to the clergy
mau my wonder that he should preach
so fervcntly to such a small number of
people. 'Were there but one, said the
rector, my anxiety for his improvement
would make me equally energetic. -
The following year Connolly went into

multiplied twenty fold; the third year

Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1867-05-30
Gen. B. n. COyven.
From the Guernsey Times.


EDS. IMEs:-Among the MANY names
mentioned as candidates for the next
Governorship of Ohio, there is none that
strikes us so favorably as that of the
gentleman whose name is at the head of
this article. He was born in our neigh
boring county of Belmont, about 1890
and has in his veins good healthy politi-
cal blood, being son of Hon. B. S.
Cowen, Of st. Clairsville. He was a
member, and we think Secretary, of the
first Republican Convention ever held
IN Ohio, and no man in the State has
fairer and more honorable political re-
cord than he. He has been steadfast
and true to the principles and policy of
the Republican party ever since its or
ganization, and few have labored more
faithfully than he has to secure its tri-
umphs. And in all the positions he has
occupied as an officer of the State. or
army, he has acquitted himself with
honor and distinction. He is a man of
fine ability, and of incorruptible homes
ty. lie has grown up among the people;
he is man OF the people in sympathy
with the laboring masses. Not one par-
ticle OF the purse-proud aristocrat can
be found in him: Modest, genial, frank,
sincere, he will adorn any station to
which he may be exalted.
Why should not this part of Ohio fur
nish Governor? We put in our claim
to the next candidate ON the Republican
