publication Of such gross falsehoods'
Our neighbor OF the Steubenville Ners
must not believe all that he's sees in the
Radical newspapers of this State during
an active and bitter political campaign
or he will think West Virginians a race
of savages, but one remove from canni-
balism, and will continue to make HIM
self as ridiculous when speaking OF
them as he has done in the paragraph
above.
But, would it not be just as well Tor
the editors of the Radical newspapers
of West Virginia to cease throwing
mud at their own State? There were
charges made against the Democratic
party during the past campaign that
nearly every person in the State knew
to be untrue, and hence they were per-
fectly useless even as party weapons
and, as the result shows, had no effect
upon the vote. But among strangers,
these false assertions have done and are
doing harm to the interests of the State,
as is shown by the idea the editor OF
the Steubenville News seems to have
concerning our people. 1t is well
known that the Democratic party has a
large majority of the voters here, and
that the political affairs of the State
will be administered by that party dur
ing many years to come. Then when
Radical newspaper in West Virginia
asserts that the Democrats intend to
sell out to the railroads; exempt rail
road property from taxation; create a
public debt Tor works OF internal
Improvement; abolish the public
schools; prosecute and drive out in
dustrious citizens and generally bring
back the reign ofchaos and OF night; it
is simply deceiving strangers and spoil
inc it's own nest. People outside the
State are not apt to reflect that all this
hub-bub is stirred up for political effect,
and not many who see only the Radlcal
side can be expected to know how utter
" false it is. For tie sake OF West
Virginia in whose growth and material
prosperity the Radicals in our midst are
as much interested as the Democrats,
let us have a little more truth in future
political campaigns. Lies concerning
the intentions of the dominant political
party do more damage to West Virginia
beyond her borders than they do here
they only serve to create false lmpres.
sion abroad, and are generally too absurd
for home consumption. They fly
farther and faster than the truth, and do
the whole State an injury in the cstlma'
ton of those to whom we look for aid
and whose good opinion we desire.

A Japancse Bed.

A traveller in the East gives the fol-
lowing amusing description OF the
sleeping accommodations Of the Japan
ese A mattress in the form Of very
thick quilt, about seven feet long and
four feet wide, was spread on the floor,
and over it was laid anample robe, very
long and heavily padded, and provided
with large sleeves. Having put on this
night dress, the sleeper covers himself
with another quilt and sleeps, that is,
d" if the sleeper has had some years
practice" in the use OF this bed. But
the most remarkable feature about a
Japanese bed is the pillow. This is a
wooden box about four inches high,
eight inches long and two inches wide at
the top. 1t has a cushion Of folded
papers on the upper side to rest the
neck On, for the elaborate manner OF
dressing the hair does not permit the
japanese, especially the women, to
press the head on the pillow. Every
morning the uppermost paper is taken
off from the cushion, exposing a clean
surface, without the expense Of washing
pillow-case. | passed greater part
of the night in learning how to polze my
head in this novel manner; and when
| finally closed my eyes, it was to
dream that was being slowly beheaded
and 70 awake at the crisis to find the
pillow bottom.side up, and my neck
resting on the sharp lower edge OF the
box During my stay in the country |
learned many OF its customs, mastering
the use OF the chopsticks and &C
customing my palate to raw fresh fish ;
but the attempt to balance my head on
a two.inch pillow, | gave up in despair,
after in vain trying to secure TO box by
tying it to my neck and head.

COLONEL BEN WILSON.

One Of the most prominent and inilu-
entail Democrats in the State sends us
the following well merited compliment
10 Colonel BEs WILSON, whose trlum-
phant election is proc! OF his personal
popularity and OF the energy and ability
with which he conducted the canvass in
the Fourth Senatorial District. We
extend TO him our heartiest congratula-
lions. Our correspondent says:
I'VE hail with delight the election Of
Ibis distinguished Democrat to the
Convention from the Fourth Senatorial
District, composed OF the counties OF
Harrison, Doddridge, Richie, Peasants
ana Tyler. need not inform your
readers who Colonel Wilson is or what
political record he has made. He has
from his boyhood been an untllnchlng
Democrat. In the late Presidential
election, ~ elector for the State at
large, ne more thoroughly canvassed
the State than any other person. In
last falls campaign he contributed
more than any one not a candidate to
The election of Governor Jacob and the
Hon. J. J. Davis, ard the political
revolution in both this State and this
Congressional District. And cow,
mainly by his energy and ability, he
carries his Senatorial District by q
handsome majority-the first time the
Democrats have carried il since the war.
Though it is doubtless against his in
ierest to accept the position, the Democ-
racv will be glad to hear OF his triumph
over the strong Republican majority he
had to overcome. The Colonel is not
only good lawyer and effective de.
batter, but a liberal gentleman and
genial companion. We doubt not but
his efficiency in the Convention will
meet the just expectation created by his
former usefulness, and We congratulate
thu people of his district On their choice.

COME RADICAL FALsEHOODs.

We lind in the Steubenville daily
.Nrra Of last Saturday evening the
following nonsense regarding the late
election in West Virginia:
The least hopeful element in the
State has triumphed. The ex-rebel,
poor white, 'anti-nigger class Of COM
munity who hate the light worse than
any other plague OF nature, the advo-
Gates Of ignorance whose hostility to
popular education is only equaled by
their jealous hostility of the black man,
are in the ascendant. The Constitu-
tional Convention will probably rid the
State of all measures providing for
General Instruction. which a Southern
Grand Jury has just declared 10 be "a
'ungus OF the war and the fruit OF
wild speculative theory iiladapted to
the present situation. Then, after the
Constitutional Convention Of West Nlr-
g,nia has made a finish Of the school
system, it need only exempt the rail-
roads in the State from taxation, as 1t
seems probable it will do. Having
made full provision to allow her youth
10 grow up in savage ignorance, the
most becoming thing the State can then
do will be to sell out to its railroad cor
porations. Its bondage to ignorance
and corporate power, the worst enemies
the South has to encounter, will then be
complete.
Possibly the editor Of the Nt,rS may
not know that there is not a word OF
truth in the paragraph we have quoted
above. We believe he is a stranger
upon our border, for it is scarcely pos
sible that he could have lived in Steu-
benvilIe very long without knowing
more OF the politics Of West Virginia,
and the condition of public affairs here
than he displays in the article from
which we quote. We are, therefore, in
clined to judge him charitably, return
"a soft answer and assure him that he
is entirely mistaken in his judgment as
10 the character and aims Of the DEM
ocratic party in West Virginia. If he
has received the ideas he expresses
from the Radical newspapers OF the
State, as is probably the case, they are
responsible for the Misrepresentation
and for theipjury that results from the

A FAMILY MEDIcINE.-We call the
special attention of our readers to the
advertisements of that favorite home
remedy, Perry Davis Pain Killer. 1t
has been before the public over thirty
pears, and probably has wider and
better reputation than any other pro-
priesary medicine of the present day.
AT this period there are but few unac-
quainted with the merits of the Pain
Killer: but while some extol it as lini-
ment, they know but little of its power
in easing pain when taken internally,
while Others use internally with great
success, but equally ignorant of its heal
ing virtues when applied externally
We therefore, wish to say to all that is
equally successful whether used inter-
nally or externally, and it stands to-day
unrivalled by all the great catalogue o.
Family Medicines. 1t is sufficient ev.
idence of its virtues as a standard med.
