The City Of kanawha.

We cordially thank the Cleveland
Plain Dealer for its article on West
Virginia which we reproduce to-day.
Its suggestion concerning the name OF
the Capital is worthy of consideration.
Considerable inconvenience has already
resulted from confoundiug Charleston,
Kanawha county, with Charlestown in
Jefferson county, and will continue as
long as the names are so nearly identi-
cal. Charleston was long known as
Kanawha Court House, and We believe
that is the name it still bears
in the Postoffice Department.
The name is a musical one and
significant, and has the advantage of
fixing in the mind Of the nearer the To-
cality of the town. The proposition to
christen West Virginia the Estate of
Kanawha" had many friends in the
convention and was strongly urged
We believe the name of the State will
do well enough as it is, but, if the peo-
ple of Charleston are willing, we can
see many good reasons why the town
should be styled Kanawha. We
commend the matter to the Legislature
now in session.

Tie Lesson Of Nature.

Torpor is the characteristic OF winter.
Vegetation dies or falls into state OF trance.
The whole aspect OF inanimate nature
teaches us that there Is paralyZing in
fluence in the air, and OugHtO teach us that
our bodies require an increase of vital power
to contend with IL. Some Of even the warm
bloodcd animals bury themselves in the
earth and remain in state of partial stupe-
faction until the season Is over, and the
elixir of the spring sunshine stimulates
their stagnant blood, and restores their
vigor. But man, although he feels the in
fucnCc OF the season, can protect himself
agairSt lis inclemency. He has fuel TO warm
him externally, and can tone and strength
Ell his internal organization and endow Il
with the extra amount of vitality which
the circumstances require. of all invigor-
ants that have ever been recommended for
this purpose, HoStcttcr's Stomach BitterS
is the purest and the best. Fortified by the
daily use OF this wholesome vegetable
tonic the human system may defy the
chills and dampS Of winter in any latitude.
It's effect is TO promote brisk and regular
circulation Of the blood, and activity in all
the secretive organs. Without the slightest
tendency to produce fever, it imparts a
healthfulg glow to the surface, and stimulates
the exterior vessels TO discharge, in the
form of gentle perspiration, the useless
matter eliminated from the blood. IhuS

The True Value Of u Thing.

Experience by those who have tried and
been cured by remedy is one of the best
tests of its merits, and whilst We would not
wish to speak disparagingly Of other rene

chronic diseases of the lungs or air passages
to try bottle of DIR. kEYsER's LUNG
CURE. 1t is exceedingly valuable both on
account of its healing virtues and
its cxpecIorant properties, whilst II

and strengthens the system. No remedy

is expected, and understood, that the
City Council are to use their crclusire
privilege of purchasing tie Gas Works,

waiting to buy or control the works on
their own account. Who, then, can
impose any restriction on the price Of
gas? Can the city issue bonds without

ing bond for $1,000 to pay laborers

Look at the present bonded debt OF
this city, and its ever accruing interest,
consuming annually the larger part OF
her revenue. Does not every citizen

are paid.

in West Virginia, except the old and
renowned manufacturing city Of Wheel
ing.
Although out of our bailiwick, and
certainly not disposed to make any sug-
gestions distastetul to our neighbor on
the South, yet we avail ourselves Of so
opportune an occasion to say that, as
their favored city is now upon the
threshold OF a new career, and more
conspicuous and historic future, it would,
in our Judgment, be an appropriate
time to grace their capital with more
distinctive and BETTING name. We
have surfeit of such meaningless
names as Charleston, in our
country. The city Of Kanawha
would be peculiarl v appropriate, and
infinitely more attractive. Kanawha
falls melodiously upon the ear: it is
beautiful in speech its origin gives
copiousness to though for the student,
and imagery to the poet. Everything
associated with kanawha in the past is
interesting That name, also, would
give identity to the new capital, which
is an important consideration. With
Charleston there is none Tbs~4atter
name belongs now to the many places
whose whereabouts are unknown.
Names OF local significance, aud there
fore not in use in every State, are also
a convenience 10 the public Under
any name, however, we shall ever re-
joice to hear of the prosperity OF the
new capital Of West Virginia.
