TRI IT ron TnE LADIKs.-As the fall In
the price Of gold ls viewed as an Indication
OF the ease with which the Government may
resume specie payments, II Is suggested that
a pleasant experiment might be made BY
reason for this Is found In the fact that
although pronounced by Con. Spinner quite
as efficient as the males, their compensation
Ia much less. The experiment might be eK-
tended TO another meritorions class, the
pensioners, now about 10 receive their semi
annual lnstAllments. II tho Government
ofiicials consider themselves without Au-
thorlty for such a course, let some gallant
member Of Congress offer joint resolution
directing II 10 be done. Such q measure
would be a sure Indication that the adyo-
Gates Of an early return 10 specie payments

The Horse's shoulder.

"a fine shoulder" is a phrase among
horse people too often apt TO be misap'
piled. Because horse happens to have
very great depth and obliquity in his
shoulders, with high, tapering withers,
he is often said to possess fine or perfect
shoulders, when, in reality, be probably
lacks in them the very property OF more
consequence than any other, and that
is, muscularity. His shoulders are
oblique and deep, and thin at the
withers; but so bOny are they, so
deficient of flesh or muscle, that the
blade-bone appears as if it had no
covering save the skin, through which
it's outlines are sufficiently apparent to
render the horse most desirable object
for any student of the anatomy Of the
bone TO make observations upon. Mus
cleless, and consequently weak as such
shoulders are, horses having them often
are endowed with brilliant action, and,
for riding, turns ont most agreeable; to
carry or draw weight, however, these
horses can never turn out of any value,
unless they happen to have-which is
seldom the case-eItraordinary powers
in their arms and hindquarters, and
width in the chest. But when the re-
verse of this accompanies the thin or
fleshIess shoulder, however deep it may
be, however oblique, however fine upon
the withers, for all purposes where sta
bility, strength and endurance are re-
quired, il is absolutely inefficient.

The Lumber Trade OF the Little Ka.
nawha.

The last rise in the waters has brought
down n large amount of lumber. We
learn that something like 300, 900 cubic
feet of round logs arrived and were sold
at Parkersburg, bringing the aggregate
abolt S35, 900; and we are informed that
not more than one-third of the timber
that was cut during the past season has
been brought down.
Besides these logs, large amount of
sawed lumber has been brought down
the river. Captain J. N. Burns has
three boats each of 142 feet in length
by % feet wide, loaded with 175,000
feet of fine, clear, poplar lumber, which
he takes up TO Pittsburgh. Three
other boats were brought down loaded
down with yellow pine lumber, two
of which go to Cincinnati and one to
Pittsburgh. These three boats had on
l25, 900 feet of lumber. The lumber
makes 300, 900 feet and the logs will saw
$500, 600 feet more, making in the ag-
gregato 100000 feet of lumber that
came down the Little Kanawha in one
rise.
There was also brought down about
l5,0 900 cross ties for the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad.
Several boat loads of slaves came
down, but We could not learn the num-
ber. There were several thousands OF
all events.-Parkersbarg Gazette.

Democratic and Conservative
Sfnfc Convention.

The citizens of West Virginia who favor the
repeal Of all proscriptive laws now in force in
this State and the enactment Of such measures
as win give the State character abroad and har-
mony and prosperity at home, are requested to
meet in their respective counties or townships,
at as early day as may be practicable, and
choose delegates 10 State Convention to be
held in the town of Charleston. Kanawhs coun.
ty, on
Wednesday, the Sth day OF June, 1870,
to nominate candidates for the offices Of Gov.
ernor, Auditor, Treasurer, Secretary of State,
Attorney General and Judge Of the Supreme
Court of Appeals.
Each county or delegate district will cast ten
votes in this Convention for every representa-.
tive in the House Of Delegates TO which such
county or district may be entitled.
The effect of our proscriptve system in driv.
ing large numbers of useful citizens from West
Virginia and in preventing immigration from
other States renders the speedy abolition Of
that system necessary to the public good. This
call is therefore addressed to all liberal minded
men, whether Democratic, Conservative or Re.
publican, who desire to promote the welfare Of
the State and vindicate the rights of her citi.
zens by appropriate legislation. .

PRESIDENT GRANT on Wednesday
signed the joint resolution, directing
the Secretary of the Navy to Investigate
the Oneida disaster. 1t is to be hoped
that the Secretary will throw some
spirit into his inquiries on this subject.
The cause of humanity and common de-
cency demands that this Oneida case be
sifted to the bottom, and that Captain
WILLIAMS and the brave men who went
down with lin, be legitimately
avenged. Public sentiment in England
is evidently in accord with the feeling
of Indignation in this country against
the brutal EYRE, and nothing need pre-
vent his getting his just deserts.

The End Appronching.

Late Cuban advises indicate that the
revolutionists are in bad way, and are
diminishing with frightful rapidits,
The rebel Congress has been disJanded
and General JORDAN, the Commander-in'
Chief, has fled the country. In several
cities the Cubans are volunteering in
support of the old government, and as
the main body of insurgents is already
surrounded by the Spanish, speedy
termination of hostilities IN ay be locke
for. OF course lighting will continue
for some time, but it will be after the
guerrilla style so peculiarly adapted to
the nature of Spanish Americans.

five stalks grew from this one grain of
