WEST VIRGINIA ABROAD.

West Virginia just now is attracting
more attention from the outside world than
almost ever before in her political career.
Our Democratic exchanges are full Of con
CALCULATIONS over the good work done, and
even the republicans canno: find it in their
hearts to blame the people Of this State
very much for abolishing prescription aud
overihrowing dynasty based upon arbi-
trary and illegal disfrauchiscment. To
men Of both parties, outside of this State,
the result of the election is unexpected.
They have so long been accustomed to
think of West Virginia, when they thought
Of tho State Of all, as hOpclessly bound to
the radical. car, tina. it was considered not
worth while to pay any attention to our
local politics, Or, in fact, to any ofour State
affairs. The whole State has been gener-
ally given the go'by, and its existence al
most ignored. We observe that some Of the
Eastern papers, in commenting upon the
recent election, have resurreoted the
Flick Amendment" almost forgotten
here, and stated shat it was submitted 10
a vote Of the people a. this election, and
has boon overwhelmingly ratified. This
is ncws to the people Of West Virginia, but
the fact ofi!s mention ia Eastern cities in
connection with the recent vote, shows
how little attention has been paid abroad
to IVES. Virginia politics, even by these
who make especially of Observing the po.
litieal movements of all the States.-Rsg.

ALL HAIL! VEST VIRGINIA.

ALL HAIL! VEST VIRGINIA,
Addressing a promiscuOus crowd. two
weeks ago. at an Agricultural Fair in
Tygart Valley, W.st Virginia-and
avoiding party pOli'ics-'hc oxygen Of
those iron-girt businesses, permea'ing tie
air, made US exclaim: "These noble
mountains were never created to breed
slaves!m An aulitoro of the region though,
there was little romance in thut-con-
s;dering that the ,rhite slare party, the
radicals, held a majority Of FIVE thousand
in the State. Our answer was mo
such vile party can continue to exist
among peOpleinhabiiing such mountains
and valleys, and breathing such airs "
Hurrah! hurrah! We were right
The election in West Virginia took place
last week. The first report was that the
State ticket, Governor, ETC., had been
carried by the Democrats. The second
report was that two, out Of three, Con-
gressmen bad been elected by the Demo-
Gratis. The latestreport, to date, is that
the State has gone Democratic by .fue
thousand majority. This is a change,
since last election, Of ten thousand rO'cs.
The lover house of the State Legislature
is overwhelmingly Democratic. Where a
State Senator was to be elected Demo-
crat is the successful candidate. The
joint ballot of the Legislature that is to
elOct United States Senator, in place Of
Wiley, will be decidedly Democratic. The
State, in all its parts, is Democratic. MI.
Jacob, Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, is, elected by,s,a rousing majority.
Two or three weeks ago, on the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, ascending the
eastern slope Of the mountains, VIC fell
into conversation with gentleman on local
topics, that led tie, far,hcr!!talk. We found
him SO pleasant a companion that the in
.erviem was pro.racted till re had come
near our stopping place. Then. feeling
that this was mau that ought to be heard
of. and that it would b, a pleasure for US
to know again, we gave bin our patro-
nynic andeplace of residence, asking bis.
In turn. 1t was "4M. Jacob" Thus we
recognized, in the gentleman we wanted
20 hear Of again. the candidate, now cleo
ted Governor Of this new and growing
State. We congratulate our Railway COM
panion. Much more We congratulate West
Virginia. Mr.. Jacob is man whose prin-
ciples are just and firm. He is. at the same
time, q man so we'll moderated in the ex-
preston eff principles, as may hope TO con-
ciliate and combine the good wishes Of all
citizcnssof West Virginia who desire the
prosperity, the peace, and the happiness,

Two Clever Sailors.

In . small old town built ON the sea-
shore, there used to live two sail0rA
named Jack and Joe. They were great
friends, and had one boat between them,
and went out fishing together.
They were both strong, and brave, and
sun.burnt. They both liked rum, and
both wore loose trousers. And % they
could never make out which was the most
clever.
II know the best way to cook mackerel.
and herring, and sole, said Jack.
$50 do l. And know the best way to
sell them," said Joe.
$50 do l." answered Jack. "And I
know the best way to catch them"
$50 do l." answered Joe but what Is
the use of all this when we have not got
any ropes for our netsi"
"If we had time we could make some"
said Jack
"Ifwe had money, we could buy some,"
said Joe.
IF we knew where, we could borrow
some," said Jack
"If we knew where, we could stsal
some," said Joe.
Just then the bells of the church on
the hill began tolling for evening prayer.
"They ring those bells with ropea"
said Jack.
"And the ropes are very good" said
Joe.
Jack began to smile. Joe began to
laugh.
"Shall we go to church, mate, to!
night? ?" asked Jack.
"And shall We stay there till the lasts"
asked Joe.
Up the hill went the two sailors. They
stopped in church till the prayers were
! all over and everybody had gone home.
"Now is our time," said Jack.
ut is our turn now" said Joe.
Of they went to the tower where the
bells were hung. Here they found two
long, strong, thick ropes.

"And one for me-" cried Joe.
Up the ropes climbed the two Clever
sailors, like couple OF monkeys.

"And SO am l." said Joe.
Jack pulled out knife from his pocket.
I So did Joe.

through the rope over his head, and down

What a stupid-head you asN" cried
Joe, at the top. "You should Fe done

With these words he cut the rope close
under his feet. Down it fell, and left him
hanging by his two hands at the top.
"Oh, cricket" cried Joe, at the top;

"What stupid-head you are,"' groaned
Jack. "You will have TO hang there till

It was sad night for the two clever

Then Jack went off to the hospital, and
Joe was taken off to prison.

lam going to tell you true story OF
some children I knew when lived in
Texas. Alick was ten years old, Mary
was eight, and little Eta was only four.
They had lost their father and mother,
but had big brother Frank, and the best
sister in the world, Sallie; and she took
lust as good care Of them as their own
dear mother could have done.
They lived far off in Western Texas, on
the edge Of wide prairie. Do you know
what q prairie is! just think how it
would look If you could see nothing on
either side of you but one great field OF
waving grass and beautiful flowers reach
ing away, away, far away TO where the
blue sky seems to bend down and touch
1t. That is prairie.
Well, brother Franks fields we're on the
prairie; but the log in which they
lived was in the edge of the woods that
bordered it.
The trees were not such as you know
about. They were live-oaks, which stay
green all winter; pecans, which bear the
incest nuts; dogwood, with large white
overs: holly, with glossy leaves and
bright.red berries; and, best Of all, the
stately magnolia, which is almost too
grand to talk about in small magazine
like this.
There was great magnolia growing by
q spring not far from the house; and this
was the place where the children liked
best TO play.

nice time, and 6allie was busy making .

boy came rushing into the house, and
seized his brothers gun which stood In

on the door in large letters, /" TO the spring,

Most people like to be handsome. NO
body denies the great power any person
may have who has q good face,
and who attracts you by good looks, even
before word has been spoken. And We
see all sorts Of devices in men and women
to improve their good looks-paints and
washes, and all kinds of cosmetics, includ-
ing plentiful amounting with dirty hair
oil.
Now, not every one can have good feat
ures. They are as God made them but
almost any one can look we'll, especially
with good health. 1t is hard to give rules
in a very short space, but in brief these
will do.
Keep clean-wash freely and universally
with cold water. All the skin wants is
leave to act freely, and it will take care OF
itself. It's thousands of air holes must not
be plugged up.
Eat regularly and simply. The stomach
can no more work all the time, night and
day, than horse it must have regular
work and regular rest.
Good teeth are q help to good looks
Brush them with soft brush, especially
at night. Go to bed with the teeth clean.
Of course, to have white teeth, 1t Is need
full to let tobacco alone. Any powder or
wash for the teeth should be very simple.
Acids may whiten the teeth, but they take
off the enamel or injure 1t.
Sleep in cool room, in pure air. NO
one can have clean skin who breathes
bad air. But more than all, In order To
look well-wake up the mind and soul.
When the mind is awake, the dull,
sleepy look passes away from the eyes. 1
do not know that the brain expands, but
it seems to. Think, read-not trashy nov
els, but books that have something In
them. Talk with people who know some
thing hear lectures and learn by them.
This is one of the effects of good
preaching. A man thinks and works,
and tells us the result. And If We
listen, and hear, and understand,
the mind and soul are worked. Il
the spiritual nature Is aroused, 30 much
the better. We have seen plain face real
~ gloriHed by the love of God and man
which shone through II. Let ~ grow
handsome. Men say they can't afford
books, and sometimes they don't even pay
for their newspaper. In that Csc, It does
them little gOod-they must feel 20 mean
while reading 1t. But men can afford
what they really choose. II all the money
spent in self.indulgence, In hurtfhl indul-
gence, were spent In books, and selEim-
provement, we could see change. Mem
would grow handsome, and women, too.
The soul would shine out through tho
eyea We were not meant to be mere AMI

and sermons, and heed them.-HealM Re-
