VIZ are unable to see any good reason
why ministers OF religion should be ey-
cluded from holding civil office, rather
than lawyers, doctors, teachers, farmers,
mechanics, or men OF any other trade
profession or calling in life. In our
opinion there is a political principle
involved in the case, q principle that
forhids the Acknowledgement or pro
scription OF any citizen, no matter what
NAV be his peculiar sphere in life.
We condemn as earnestly and warmly
as any the mixing Of religion and pol
itics" in the sense in which the phrase
is commonly used, and we would GER
tsinlv vote against the election OF
n minister to the Legislature if we
thought he would use his position to
DESTROY the privileges OF those who
differed with him in religious opinion !;
but it Is quite inconsistent with our idea
of the civil and religious freedom estao-
lshed by a republican government to
erect a constitutional barrier against
the election OF clergvmen to office. The
selection Of their servants may be safely
left to the people themselves, and we
desire to still enjoy the liberty Of voting
against any candidate for office who Is
unable to distinguish between his duty
as minister OF the Gospel and his duty
"a an officer Of the State.
Rev. WILLIAM GAINES MILLER Of
Clarksburg, thinks that our views upon
this question are not exactly orthodox,
and ia himselfiu favor Of a Constltu-
tional provision for the exclusion OF
clergymen from office. He takes US 10

ing Mr.. MrLLER's position, we leave

however, that the Convention will be

ton that takes away the civil and
political rights Of any citizen Of the

Brutal Rape.

We learn that a young man living
in Hedgesville, by the name OF Richard,
committed brutal and heinous outrage
upon the person of little girl between
eight and nine years OF age, the child OF
a tenant on his fathers farm, near the
above named place. The child is not
expected to survive its injuries. The
perpetrator has made his escape, but it
is hoped that he may be caught and
suffer the just penalty OF his brutal
crime - NrtinsburQ Statesman.

THIS little romance, which we do not
remember to have read before, is from
the Louisville Journal: Twelve months
ago Schuyler Colfax was offered the
command of a floating palace on the
Wabash canal. He accepted the
munifcens offer, aud was to have re.
tired from politics at the end OF his
present term. A few weeks since q
terrific gale buried the boat with terri.

Hau;e, and to-day Schuyler is a candi-
date for reelection to the Vice Presiden-
CIV. Strange indeed, is the influence
which the elements have upon the
destinies OF man.

A GENTLEMAN residing in Wilson,

the County Clerk in Cincinnati request,
ing information regarding the price OF
chestnuts there, he having some seven
bushels OF those esculents TO dispose Of.
1t caused quite tlutter in the CONNER
cial circles Of that thrifty village, and
it was resolved that the trade of the
West Virginian should be secured at
all hazards. A stock company was
formed, and at the latest advices there
was a fair prospect that Cincinnati:
would secure the chestnuts. Her
principal competitors in the transaction
were Gallipolis and other up-river

The strength and nervous energy of the human
body ought to be increased during the winter for
two reasons: In the first place, diseases of the most
deadly character may be generated at this season;
and secondly, it is of the utmost importance that dur
ing the cold winter months the system should be put
in a condition to Withstand the effects of the Spring
miasma. and the subsequent depressing heat Of Sum-
mer- 1t is therefore advisable, in fact essential, to
tone. regulate and invigor tie the digestive and secre-
tive organs at this period of the year, and of all the
stomachics and alternatives at present knJwn, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters is the most powerful, the most
harmless. and the most agreeable. The temperature
of winter would be in itself a glorious tonic, if it did
not, unfortunately, b. ing with it a volume of chilling
moisture and unwholesome winds, which have a bad
effect on the skin and lungs. These must be guarded
against. or there is no security for health. The effect
of a course of the Bitters is to give vigor and tone to
the entire organization-the superficial muscles and
nerves, as we'll as the internal viscera. A regular
habit of body, a healthy and natural flow of bile, an
active digestion, a good appetite, pure blood, and a
vigorous circulation of that fluid. are among the
blessings derivable from a persistent use of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, which not only more than supplies
the place of the best tonics, cathartics and antiseptics
prescribed in their separate forms by physicians. but
perform the threefold work of IMMIGRATION, regula-
ton and publication at one and the same Com.

BurgIar.proof Lock.

Among recent inventions connected
with house-building is a lock that, by
its peculiar construction, would seem
to be absolutely burglar-proof. The
door cannot be unlocked from the side
opposite to that from which it is locked,
the bolt passing over and effectually
barring entrance through the key-hole
on the reverse side; Each side of the
and on another line from the key-hoIe
on the other side. The h~ouse-breaker
hence can find no key-hole in which to
insert his skeleton key, the aperture
being closed by the iron bolt that enters
the socket of the lock, nor can he find
any crevice even by which to insert
g~unpowder, for the purpose of blowing
off the fastenings.

The Mhipping.post in Delaware.

Biggs, member of Congfess for Della
ware, thinks the whipping-post an in ii
tuition of which his little State may well
be proud. ga man was never brought
back a second time" he said, latter
being properly whaled." This is not
true, and Biggs ought to have known
it. Everybody who has watched the
matter knows that the Delaware whip
ping-post has second and third corners,
and that it is one of the vices of this
method of punishment that it takes all
the shame and what small self-respect
is left out of the culprit. We should
have supposed that, as a personal mat
ter, asses would be opposed to corporal
punishment; but here is one of the
breed who, having heretofore escaped
it, fancies that cudgeling is nothing
worse than a salutary quickening of the
circulation of the blood. AS it is not
probable that Biggs will ever be tied up,
he will doubtless stick to his opinion
with hat irmness which see Is to be
inseparably connected with auricular
elongation.-NeD York Tribune.

Terrible Affray-One Man Killed and
Two Severely Wounded.
From the Memphis (Tenn,) Ay,

From the Memphis Tenn Avalanche, Dec. II.
From J. E. Raymond, who arrived
from below by the steamer Phil Allin
yesterday, we learn of a terrible affray
that occurred last week at Stewards
Landing, near the foot of Walnut Bend,
sixty miles below this city. A trading
boat belonging to N. S. Cummings, who
is we'll and favorably known below
here, was lying at Stewards Landing,
and visited by three negro men near
dark, on Monday evening, the 4th inst.
The negroes pretended to wan a gallon
of whiskey, and said a comrade would
soon be along with a jug. Lounging
about until some time after dark, they
went inside the store-room, found MIR.
Raymond sitting down before the
tea, reached over and shot him with a
pistol, the ball entering between the ear
and eye, and dropping out of his
mouth. The two others then COM
menced firing on Mr.. Cummings, and
another person named DERRICK, who
was neal. They shot Cummings twice,
the balls passing through both should
ers. from the effects of which he died
on Friday last. MI. Raymond, al
though badly hurt, and nearly uncon-
scious, ran for a gun, and a fight at
close quarters ensued, which filed the
boat with smoke and darkness. Ded-
rick, by striking one of the negroes
while in the act of firing, caused the
numbering thief to shoot himself in the
hand. The attacking fiends soon fed,
finding they were likely to get the
worst of the fight, the result of which
was the killing OF Cummings, the
wounding of Mr.. Raymond, and also
one of the attacking darkies. Since the
trouble n of the miscreants has been
arrested, and the others are likely to be
taken, as they are known to be still
prowling in the vicinity.
Mr.. Cummings had collected some
$1,7OO in money while lying at DR.. Pc
ter's landing a few days before, and it
is supposed that the pegroes, getting
wind of this, formed a plan to murder
the boats occupants, and possess them
selves of the money. Mr.. Raymond is
recovering rapidly from the effects of
his wounds.

A Fire.PrOOf Press.

The most remarkable proof of the vitality
of a tUe newspaper has been shown by the
late Chicago fire. The discontinuance of
the Chicago TRIBUNE for a single day-while
the fire was still ~raging-was felt to be a
public calamity, and its appearance was
welcomed by an eager crowd standing for
hours waiting in turn to be served. Its
courageous voice inspired life and hope in
the souls of a sore-stricken people,, and
stirred the hearts of the best men in two
h~emispheres, Its words of cheer, day after
day, lifted thousands from the depths of
despair to the heights of a noble manhood
and encouraged them to the work of re-
building Chicago and their own fortunes.
When it seemed weakest it was strongest,
when poorest it was richest for though the
fire consumed its material forms, its good
name, with its heritage of good will and its
~invincible spirit, were imperishable. Its
force survives, and will quickly re-create
what the fire destroyed.
A noticeable popularity of the Tribune is
that it boasts not of to-morrow-nor of to
is witness for it. After the fire, it brought a
four-cylinder Hoe press through from New
York in thirty-six hours, but did not herald
it, and its readers were not told that it threw
aside asaold type, $4,000 worth of new type
such as it could lay its hands on for the
comedy dress. Facts like these reveal the
secret of its success and power.
AS a ne1os paper it is unrivalled in the
West. It has the latest news by telegraph
and mail from all quarters of the globe up
to the hour of going to press, reports of the
proceedings of Congress, of Western Legis-
i~atures, and of all important public meetings
and speeches, able correspondents at all the
great political and commercial centres, full
and complete market reports of all kinds,
agricultural, financial, and commercial in
telligence, literary notices and reviews of
books, and whatever concerns the farmer,
the mechanic, the laborer, the capitalist, the
merchant, and business man.
The Tribune both represents and creates
public sentiment, leading rather than fol-
lowing it. 1t grapples with living issues,
and lets the dead bury their dead. Always
%outspoken and manly, sometimes mistaken
but always independent, it represents the
vital spirit, the progressive, conquering ele-
ment and the best men of the Republican
party, and is the determined foe of dead
beats, incompetents, thieves, corruptionists
and sycophants in all parties. Equal rights
for all, amnesty for rebels, a tariff for public
revenue only, the public lands for actual
settlers and not for corporations, and a re-
form of the civil service that shall make fit
ness instead of p~artizan zeal or personal ia
voritism the test of preferment to office
teis is the political platform on which it
proposes to sustain the Republican party in
the Presidential campaign of 1872. B.

TOYS.

Toys for the million are peculiar to
the age. Wood is by far too dear in
England for their production, conse-
quently the chief seat of their manu-
facture is in the tense woods of Ger
many. From out the somber pine
forests of Thuringia issue the penny
boxes of toys destined to make the
homes of all Europe ring with joyous
laughter-children's teachings, Noah's
arks, filed with only the leading ami
mails, soldiers, ETC., and the most
"screechingest" articles that ever de-
lighted the urchins' ear and maddened
the old folks. How so many pieces as
go within these boxes a be made,
brought from such a distance, and sold
with a profit for a penny, is a marvel
that can only be understood when the
mystery of their manufacture is in
quired into. In the first place, the pine
wood costs next to nothing women and
children are chiefly employed in their
manufacture and great speed in their
production is obtained by the division
of labor, every toy passing through half
a dozen hands. 1t would, at first sight,
seem impossible that the lathe should
be used in the production of animals,
but here we nave an example, ring
of elephants, if we may use the term.
All those who nave been abroad are
familiar with the round rings of bread,
| eight or ten inches in diameter, seen in
bakers shops. In a ~toy-case, we saw
what at first sight appeared to be one OF
these, but upon examining it more mar
rowly we perceived that it was a ring of
| pine wood turned in a lathe, not exactly
in the form of a ring, but in the form
of a ring of elephants-there were the
trunk, the peculiar shaped head, ard
the legs cut around the ring, as it were Z;
and it was evident that the workman
had only to split this ring into a suth-
| Gent number of segments, according.
to appropriate thickness), to transform
| the circle into a given number of ele-
plants. these segmental elephants re-
quire, of course, to be rounded and fin
ished by hand, but the process is most
curious, and is applicable to the pro-
duction of any other animal, and &C
counts for the cheap rate at which these
wondrous toys can be produced. When
manufactured, they come to this u
try by water carriage. Of course, art is
| out of the question in these penny arti-
cles but the imagination of children is
lively enough to fill up all deficiencies,
and, as may be expected, their sale is
immense.-CasseES Magazine.
