The Impolite Man.
Br HELEN MAYNARD.

Did yon ever meet this persoas
In car or crowded street,
Who only to pretty girl
Would offer up their seat 7
lie does not mind the aged lady,
Nor the woman with the child,
Who's been standing in the corner
For many q weary, tiresome mile.
Assisting always, paying fare
For ladies richly dressed;
But looks tho other way at once,
From sorrow and distress.
He's often found without ticket,
Finds himself without dime;
Tells conductor never mind sir,
I'll pay my fare another time.
Admitting dust by opening windows,
Filling eyes, and lungs, and hair;
Closing them to suit his comfort,
When others really want the air.
He never helps when help Is needed.
Begrudges all he gives away;
Spends his time in neighbors houses
Discussing people Ger the way.
Consults the times for number one,
BY chance where ere he roams,
As if the world especially
Were made for him alone.

The wool Market.

The Boston Advertiser says: The
wool market shows no improvement
this week, and closed dull. The sales
of domestic, however, foot up a fair ag-
gregate, but they have been made in
small lets TO manufacturers to, supply
present requirements, aud not in antici-
nation of further wants. Prices are
weak, and buyers experience but little
trouble in getting concessions from
ruling market prices when large lots are
wanted; hence they pursparingly and
often to take advantage of any decline
which may take place, and are not likely
to buy up heavy stocks. .-...
The demand for wooden goods is in
creasing as the season advances, and if it
holds out, manufacturers will be forced
into the market to repleuish their sup
plies of wool. as they are now general
" carving light stocks. Future prices
of wool depeod wholly npon the goods
market, but with jobbers all actively
engaged in supplying the trade, and
stocks in the hands OF agents only
moderately large. the indications are
that in, the no distant future there will
be lively demand for wool. There
are only a few of the mills stopped, the
bulk OF the WOODEN machinery Of the
country being in operation. ..
The stock of domestic wool here is
not large, being considerably less than
at the same time last year. The new ID
estimated to be about the same in guam
titv as last year.
Pulled woods move slowly, notwith-
standing their relative cheapness as
com Dared with fleece. 1t is difficult to
effect large sales, except at low prices.
The stock on hand is air, and as most
OF the old wool is going into consump>
ton, it is likely to be scarce in the event
Of an active demand. There will be no
new of good quality until about De-
cember. .. .....

Oldest Man In West virs inia.

Editors Cabell County Press
Lincoln county elaine the honor OF

The individual alluded to is Mr. Sibas

old last March. This old gentleman
lives five miles from Lincoln G. II.
He makes a trip to the Court House
about once week; comes and goes
alone mounts and dismounts from his
horse without assistance. He is quicker
on foot than many men who are only
fifty years OF age. On the 22i of Au-
gust he made his appearance at our
place OF voting and voted the Demo-
cratic ticket straight, and the rahfica>
ton OF the new Constitution. He says,
his only desire is to vote for Greeley and
Brown a. the coming Presidential cleo
ton, as he may never see another cleo
ton .

days married Miss Lucy Martin, who
died on the 9Th OF March, last, at the
ripe old age OF 10 years, SO this old
gentleman is now candidate for matri-
mony. He wants q handsome, intelli-
gent and iniustriou, girl about sixteen

THE Republican papers are laboring
to show that Grant will receive all the
Democratic votes in West Virginia that
were cast for Governor Jacob. We
know OF nearly two hundred Democratic
voters in Charleston township, supports
ers OF Governor Jacob, who will vote for
Greeley and Brown No doubt a simi-
lar condition of things exists in other
counties. Grant has not and never had
any chance for Democratic votes in
West Virginia. The only hope Of his
friends was to secure sufficient division
among the Democracy, through third
ticket movement. to give him the State.
That hope is now blasted. The DEM
ocrats have only to quit growing about
what can not be helped, and devote
their energies to practical purposes like
that represented by the election OF

RELIGION AND POLITICS.

We very heartily approve the follow
ing well timed protest which we find in
the Cincinnati Commercidl OF Yesterday
morning:
1T is disgusting to see religious Pro-
testant papers Of New York attacking
the Liberal candidate for the Governor
ship of that State on the ground that he
is Strong Romanist," and urging the
election of DIX because he is firm
Protestant" The daily religious organ
in New York is taking part in this war
AGAR st HERMAN, and, we are shocked
to observe, INDUCES in as many false &C
cusations against him as though it had
never heard Of either religion or NOR
atty. We say we are shocked at this.
When religious organs go into party
politics, they should try to be as decent
as they can be, consistently with the
necessities OF their position. They
should, by avoiding falsehood and Sian
der, and BY taking the most elevated
ground, set an example to secular pa
psrs. - -sa..
while Protestant papers are assail-
ing Mr.. KsRNaN on account OF his
creed, it is satisfactory to see the Cath
clio papers refrain from urging his
election on the ground of his Catholicity.
II the one side advocated, while the
other side attacked, him for his relig-
ious creed, We should quickly see par
ties there divided on religious instead Of
political grounds, and the issues in the
election would be the immaculate cons
ception and the iufallibility dogma, in
stead Of national reconciliation and
aamineratite reform. The Catholic
papers will act sensibly ifthey continue
sotkeep the religious question ont of the
canvass, though It can not be expected
that they will wholly refrain from
rssenting the attacks on HERMAN as 9

IN a letter to one of the editors OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer, Henry Reed, of
tine Washington Capital, says: You
could hardly be made to believe, even
if it were describable, the extent to
which the Grant Dent connection, per-
vades everything, from the departments
Of the Government, through the courts
of justice, down to the minutest trans-
actions TO which it is possible for any
one Of them 10 continue to attach an
interest. To say that General Grant is
no party to this is preposterous He is
the head Of the fsmily-nominallv and
actually. in fact and in spirit. He is OF
the same order, species, variety; no
better nor different. Heis, accidentally,

Jail HALLWAY.

Sunday evening last, between the
hours of seven aud nine o'clock, three
out of FIVE prisoners confined in the
eastern cell of the second story Of the
jail-bouse Of this county, escaped there
from by wrenching loose one of the
iron bars Of the window in the rear of
the building, the same having been cut
by the uotorl9,isiDavid Ham, during
his recent confinement. The two re-
manning prisoners, no doubt, would
have taksn their fight also. had it not
have been that the aperture. through
which their comrades escaped, was 80
small that they eoald not force an exit.

The "straicht-out" movement has
has been ridiculous from its first incep-
ton. 1t met no public want; graf titled
no wide spread demand; and, from its
very beginning, lacked popular support.
The masses OF the Democratic party
were satisfied with the action OF their
representatives at Baltimore. They
knew that in the present condition OF
national affairs the choice for the Pres
;dency was narrowed down to one OF
Two men: that all Others were as rigid
~ and effectually excluded as if, in the
whole nation, only those two men were
eigihle; and they believed that, OF the
70, HORACE GREELEY was preferable,
They have therefore looked with dls>
:avor upon the attempt that has been
made to divide their opposition to
GRANT, and, lacking popular sympathy,
the "straight.outs" have only succeeded
in rendering themselves conspicuously
ridiculous.
The last act Of the farce is in keep
ing with its predecessors. They nomi-
mated candidate who declared his
"unalterable resolve" not to be q can
ddate at all. Immediately thereafter
a peremptory decliuation was sent 10y
telegraph to the assembled Convention
hut even this was not sufficient to
choke off those who had determined
that OCoNoR should be their nominee.
They still adhered to the idea OF his
candidacy, and appointed a committee
to wait upon him in person, commune
cate formally the fact OF his nomination,
and urge his acceptance. Tins duty
has been performed, and Mr.. OCoNoE
concludes another lengthy and some
what misty letter with the declaration
that he "can rot be candidate for
the Presidency. The cresttallen
straightouts" still decline to receive
his deelination and insist that be shall
run and they will vote for him anyhow.
