property is now safe, even in the event Of
a sudden breakup. The towboat Fisher
and transfer boat Bogg are still working
at the ice, and there Is good prospect Of
breaking it all up as far down as Caron-
delet. The Petrel made her Way some
five or six miles into SULPHUR Snrinos
gorge yesterday, and is probably working
again to-day. If there were large
stream at that point the whole gorge
could be broken in short time. Weather

The above announcement places Gov.
ernor Jacob before the people Of West
Virginia as an independent candidate for
the position Of Executive Of the State.
We place his name at the mast head for
the following reasons: Governor Jacob
has occupied the position for two years.
He has proved acceptable to the people.
His action, as Executive, has been honor.
able, straightforward and manly. His
administration has been an honest one.
His whole course Of conduct for the past
two years has been held in the interests Of
the people and for the advancement OF
the best interests Of the State. We sup.
port him because he Is less o politician
and more o statesman; because he Is
above and beyond the control OF politi.
clans andrings; because his every action
Is gagged by an active interest in the
public welfare; because HE has been the
Governor Of West Virginia during the
two years he has held the office and has
not subjected himself to the control and
influence Of a despicable ring of politi.
clans, who are striving for power only to
gain better opportunities to subserve
their own selfish purposes and to eat up
the substance Of the people. But above
all other reasons, we support him, BE.

CHANGE OF CI.oTHING.-It would be a
great deal b tier to wear the entire VIM
ter suits through March, and even to
the middle of April and even then,
until the first week in May, to make no
change in the outer clothing, nor any in
the inner garments, except in less
heavy wooden next the skin; for it is on
" for the three hours embracing l
o'clock in the afternoon that Winter
clothing is at all oppressive; while the
very warmth of MONDAY makes the raw
dampness of the morning and the late
afternoon specially felt. All changes to
lighter or cooler garments should be
made at dressing Ia the morning, and If
in any case the change leaves the body
chilly, or if, soon after it is made, the
weather changes to be much cooler, by
all means promptly, without half an
hours delay, resume the full Winter
dress. The old, the young, the invalid,
in short, all persons of feeble constitu-
tions, of small vitality. should be espe-
cially careful to heed these suggestions;

PLANT LIFE IN TowN.-The health OF
towns has becomea hackneyed subject.
but we seldom hear about the health of
plants in towns. Yet the two are not
only nearly correlated, but well-nigf
identical. Were plants healthy, the IL
habitants would probably be so like
wise, and the diverse is true. Towns
in or near to which plants refuse to
thrive are also those most fatal to man.
The primary foundations of health IN
both are heat light, food, cleanliness,
pure air and suitable weather. With
the single exception of heat, which IN
the open air may be assumed to be near
L. equal in town and country, 1t must
be admitted that large towns lmper1i the
purity, lessen the quantity, and inter-
rupt the constancy of most if not all
the other essentials of health. In many
large towns the light of the sun is OBJ
Sc red for more than one-half its shin
ing hours. Therefore, who can wonder
at the pale faces which one finds among
men, women and children, and the
shabby aspect of plants in towns P
Heat is the great quickener, light the
chief strengthener, of plants. The rea-
son why SO many die in dwellinS-houses
is that they have so little light. They
Inger, pine, and refuse to grow IN many
towns for the same reason. The pestl-
lence that kills plants by thousands Is
bred of that semi-darkness which hangs
as a death-pall over so many OF our
smoke-capped cities. When that ark
ness flies before the rigid endorsements
of smoke-prevention act applied to
every fire, then indeed will plants III
towns rejoice, be clothed with new
strength and adorned with fresh beauty.

How TO COMMENCE BUSINESS. There
are many young men who are IN the
habit of excusing their idleness and in
efficiency with the plea that they can
do nothing without capital. The la,k
of means is the re ady reply they make
to every appeal to action. They imagine
that they possess in themselves all the
prerequisites to success except capital.
IF they only had capital, in addition
to their other imagined ui,tues, they
would do great things in the world; they
would grow, astonish the natives with
the boldness and brilliancy of their en-
terprise. They would become immense
ly rich, and lay the world under per-
petual obligations to them by the mag
nificenee of their benefactions. This is
the waythey think and talk, and they
roll the vain-glorious idea over in their
minds until they come to imagine that
the world is an immense loser by their
poverty.
These persons forget one important
fact that all capital is the product Of
labor. That nearly all the rich men in
this country were once poor. That
,u.,.rly every personal fortune they can
ssiunerate is either the product of its
~ ,sr'- toll aud skill. or the representa-
aye vf his fathers toll and skill.
