The Sin of the People.

If there is one thing more than
another that our American people
will have to learn and practice in
their every day lives, it is ECONOMY
We are all extravagant. Our tables
must be loaded with the luxuries and
delicacies, while simply the necessa-
ries of life are looked upon as a
scanty fare, and beneath the pocket
of the humblest citizen Our houses
must be the most expensive, and we
haunt hotels and boarding houses
until we are able TO eclipse our neigh
Dor in the gorgeous outfit of do
mestic establishment. Our neigh
bors wife and daughter are clothed
in silks, satins and velvets, with
pearl and diamond ornament; there
fore our wives and daughters must
follow suit. The same prodigality
enters into our churches and our
benevolent institutions, and fortunate
indeed is that charity which can
boast of silks, velYets and diamonds
in its presiding officers. Our chill
dren must be rich in pocket money
to come up to our neighbors chill
dren, and ruin follows. We must
spend money for drinks or hide our
heads in fear Of being called stingy
and mean, and to be in a party and
refuse to treat is the heighth of
meanness. We must spend money
in licentious pursuits that we may,
as we pass along the streets, have it
said of US, che is fast boy" while
the "girl of the PERIOD smiles upon
and jokes him in loving manner on
his "litae peccadi1lo's." And the end2
A life blighted-health destroyed
and nature capable of better things
ruined forever.
The old "grey heads loaf about
the corners and say to the boy in a
manner to encourage him in his pro-
gress dol0nwards, ''your are d-n
pretty boy" and to each other, be-
fore he gets out of hearing, she is a
sharp one" And the end of it all is
ruin. es4
Our modern girls are but little, if
any better. Money buys them and
envy and covetousness is their mar
rage portion. ''Child bearing" is
of the past, because the holiness of
maternity keeps them out of the life,
that ruins the body and kills the soul,
for brief period. AS they say.
"spoils their shape" "keeps them in
the house, and in that there is no en-
joyMent So the thing, accursed |
of God, goes on, and the sin which,
in the justice of God, is pronounced
objectionable, in the murder of the
innocent is widely prevalent.
The cause of all this lies in the one
word, ssExTRAvAGANcE." "Experi-
epce is ? dear school, but fools will
learn in no other," is an old adagel

large Land Sale in West Vir-

We learn from the Commissioner
of immigration that sale OF IL, OG0
acres of land in several tracts was
recently made by some parties at
Clarksburgh and Weston, to Messrs.
o. f. wainwright, H. W. Shealey and
2. Culin, of the firm of w Wainright d
Co, real estate dealers at Chicago.
Ill. The sale is fixed fact, and the
land is paid for. The property is
situated on the waters of Steer
creek and West Fork river, in the
counties of Gilmer, Calhoun and
Braxton, and consists principally of
hill land, well timbered, with several
veins of good coal and iron ore, and
strong indications OF salt, if not pc
troleum. The purchasers have or
ganized a stock company with cash
capital of $500, 900, and will proceed
to establish Immediately, at the
mouth of Steer creek, on the Little
Kanawha, a first class saw-mill, en-
gine-forty-iive horse power-with
gang saws for cutting veneering and
every kind of stuff for furniture,

Legislature. The vote shows heavy
Republican gains.
MARyLAND.-A State that gave
,S47 majority against Grant could
not be, expected to elect Republican
State officers, and hence no one is
astonished that she went Democratic.
The Democracy can always count on
Kentucky and Maryland.
The elections, this year, are SINH

Stop It!


The Sub Committee on Elections
met here to-day, with the idea of going
South as ordered by the House to in
vestigate South Carolina election cases,
but found the contingent fund exhaust
ed and have about concluded not to go
on, but to report the reason.
We clip the above paragraph from
the telegraph columns of the Cincin-
nati Gazette. tits high time this whole
thing of Congressman raveling at the
expense of the government should be
put stop to. 1t has become a nui-
sance How many of these committees
have been travelling at the expense of
the people during the past summer, we
are not now prepared to say. Several
of them we believe have gone to Cali
fornia and other places nearer home,
until in fact, every dollar Of the appro-
priation has been exhausted. Far bet
ter II the money had been used in add
ing to the reduction of the public debt.
We would be the last to complain if
any good to the people came of it, but
we fail to see it.
We can find plenty of men who would
consider it a big thing to travel the year
round if all expenses could be paid by
an appropriation of the public money
such expenses, besides the leeiti-
mate travelling and subsistence fees, in
variably include liquor, tobacco, bill
liards and all their adjuncts. We know
not what this contingent fund was, but
be it large or small it is money thrown
away, in the eyes of the people, and but

~ GEORGE PEABODY Is dead. The
sad intelligence was flashed to us
through oceans depths, in the
words:
"London, November 4M, midnight.
George Peabody died at halt past eleuen
o'clock to night, at his residence in this
city,"
America and England may jointly
mourn his loss. He was their son.
Columbia's by nativity. Albion's by
adoption. 7.-
The man self made, the prudent phi
lanthropist, the generous friend of
the poor in either nationality, has
passed away.
The records of his beneficence will
attest to his worth, and stand as i'm
perishable monuments in the memo
ries of London's poor, and in that OF
our own war desolated South, long
after the Vanderbilts, and the Bar
ings of his generation, are forgotten;
when returned with him, dust to dust.
GEORGE PEABODY was born in
Danvers, Massachusetts, in the early
part of the year 1875, and was there
fore in the seventy fifth year of his
age. His early years were passed in
the ordinary struggles for support
and education, common among the
poor of New England village, un-
til at length he formed business
connection with Mr.. Elisha Riggs, of
Baltimore. While connected with
this firm, he, in the year 1927, made
his first voyage to England, and by
his business tact and indomitable
perseverance, then laid the founda-
ton of that immense financial fabric,
for which he Is so justly celebrated.
His charities were as Colossal as his
fortune His motto, "Freely thou
hast received, freely give" Eduea-
ton received at his hands, mighty
assistance. The common schools of
the South, the poor of London--his
native town of Danyers-were made
the recipients Of no niggardly be-
quests, for this purpose. Science
and art acknowledged him patron,
an ardent supporter Of the Grinnell
expedition, andskindred objects, his
name will be honored, and his memo
ry revered, wherever enterprise and
discovery ere in the ascendant.
Peabody sis dead. but especially
among the lowly and the downtrod-
den humanities Of England's capital
he still lives, he lives forever.

How TO MPRovE OUR SANITARY
CoNDlTIoN.-A great cause Of dis
ease is improper food and hurried
eating. In order fully to under
stand how to eat and how to con-
duct ourselves after eating, tits nee
essary that we should be acquainted,
in some measure, with the process of
nutrition. Many persons tumble
their TODD precipitately into their
mouths and swallow it without mas
tication, contrary to express laws of
nature. Food should undergo thor
ough mastication and salvation be-
fore it enters the quodenum and be-
comes mixed with the bile<and pan
creatic juices. This bile Is there Sc
creted by the liver. The chyme
having undergone the change advert
ed to is urged, by the peristaltic mo-
ton ofthe intestines, onward through
the alimentary canal. If the peris-
taltic motion be diminished, owing
to the deficiency of bile, the pro-
gress of digestion is retarded and the
bowels become constipated and dys-
pepsia often follows. In such cases
a thorough and active cathartic
should be used to produce specific
action, arousing the secretion and
producing free bilious excavations.
The best article for this purpose is
DR.. Robaclk's Blood Pills, the use of
which should be followed by Ro-
back S Stomach Bitters, to give tone
TO the stomach and aid digestion.

r5y- The coming winter, it is pre-
dieted,, from the unusually early mi
Grafton Of the birds, and from other
signs of the animal and vegetable

intelligence comes from England,

that have already occurred in the

seem to confirm the prediction Of Sc
