Daniel Webster once dined with an
old Boston merchant and when they
came to the wine, dusty old bottle was
carefully decanted by Peter and passed
to the host. Taking the bottle, he pour
ed out Mr.. Webster's glass and handed
it to him. Then pouring out another
for himself, he held it to the light and
said:
"How do you like it,. Mr. Webster?"
"I think it very fine specimen of old
port"
"NoN', you can't guess what that cost
me-" said the host.
"Surely not, )" said Webster, Il only

"Good graciousl you don't so?" said
Mr.. Webster, and then draining his
glass hs hastily presented it again with
the remak,-

Said the Quaker:
"Dost thee believe in France ?"
"Yes; though L have not seen it, l
have seen others who have; besides
there is plenty of proof that such a
country does exist"
"Then thee will not believe anything

"No; to be sure 1 won't"
'Did thee ever see thy own brains ?"
"No."
"Ever see anybody that did?"
"No."

The inventive genius of the country,
rs shown by the records of the Patent
Office, has had most extraordinary de-
volopment within the past five years.
Up to 1850 the patents but once reached
1000 per annum. From that period
until 1860 no year showed 5000 patents,
while the average Of five years past has
been over $1,000 per year.

In consequence Of the coal famine in
England, coal is now being shipped from
this country to India, to South America,
and the West Indies. 1t is authorita-
lively stated that several hundred thou
sand tons of American coal have recently
been purcashed here on orders transfer
red from England to the United States.
The greater portion of these purchases
is OF the soft or bituminous coal of Mary
land. The larger number Of these orders
will be filed at the Cumberland mines,
and will be sent thence to Georgetown by
way Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
for transshipment.

The total yield of the new hop crop
in the United States is now estimated
at 100000 pounds, or about 10000
bales. The total supply in this country
is less than it was last year, and as the
demand from manufacturers will be
greater than ever before, the brewing
business constantly increasing, foreign
hops will be needed, but at what price
remains to be determined.

Editors Of Register:
Hon B F. Martin made one OF the
ahlert ard nest convincing speeches
at Pbillippi to-day that it has been my
pleasure to hear for many day. This
being the first day Of our Circuit Court,
our town was crowded with people, and
well did it pay them for their time to
hear such speech. Mr.. Martin, to
say the least, handled the issues in q
mastery manner and made for himself
host OF friends.
After which few of the soreheads
called for their elector, who came forth
loaded with the latest issue of Radical
documents and at once pitched into
Greeley with all the Radical thunder
they had supplied him with, while the
Secretary OF the Clsrksburg Convention,
who voted for General Northcott and
Lewis Wilson, both Radicals, against
the regular Democratic nominees, was
furious. Both ofthem say they are for
relieving the South, but short time
since opposed relieving their own neigh,
bors from Radical prescription and in
tolerance. God save the South il they
are to be its deliverers

number of persons in each county who
have been assessed with capitation
tax. The discrepancies pointed out
between this enumeration and the num-
Der of votes cast at the recent election
show only the relative industry or negli>
gence Of the various County Assessors.
In Cabell and several other counties
referred to by the Iatslhgencer, the
Assessors seem to have performed their
duty in a careless manner, or have
failed to make a proper return to the
Auditor of State. Their delinquency
is shown by the fact that the number
of votes polled is larger than the num-
Der of persons assessed with capitation
tax, when full and proper assessment
would doubtless have shown, as is gen.
orally the case, that there are in the
county a considerable number Of male
citizens above the age of twenty>one
years who failed to vote at the recent
election. The assessment has been
made in different counties with 9arying
success, tact which is well illustrated
by the HtelEgsnesr's comparative table,
but this is the only fact that the table
shows, and hence our neighbours vision
OF fraud vanishes into thin air.
A friend in Marion county calls our
attention to the fact that tie increase
in the vote Of that county, (Which is
one of those in which, according to the
Mtelhqeneer, the number of votes cast
at the recent election was greater than
the whole number of voters in the
county, appears to have been given
entirely to the Radical party. In 1871
the Democratic vote of Marion county.
was 1912, while the total vote in that
county Tor ratification OF the Constitu-
ton was only 1887; showing decrease
of 55 votes. The Radical vote in 1871
was 1888, and the vote for rejection
was 1923, or an, increase Of 81 votes.
The total vote of Marion in 1871 was
$3.50; and in 1872 it is 29lO; an
increase Of 80. 1t thus appears that
the Radicals received this year not
ONLY the 80 new votes that were cast,
bnt also the 55 that the Democrats lost
and last,year. "a we'll as this, the whole
vote cast was greater than the number
Of persons upon whom capitation tax
had been assessed We have not ex'
amined the returns from the other coun'
ties complained Of nv the IntelEqencer,
but think it probable that in them a
similar state Of facts may be found to
exist.
If the Iots1Egcncer has any other
figures to submit we will "trv our hand
on them" merely suggesting that com
parisos of the number of carnations
with tie number of votes cast while the
Radicals had possession OF the State
might furnish basis for some inter-
estirg remarks.

"pECULIARITIES. OF THE INTEL.
LIGENCER'S MATHEMATICS.

The Iteliiyencer published a table
yesterday morning showing the number
Of persons in each county in the State
who, according to the Auditors Report
last year, paid capitation lax OF one
dollar per head. 1t assumes that this
presents complete enumeration OF the
legal voters in the State, and compares
the number Of voters in each county
thus ascertained with the number of
votes cast at the recent election for or
against the ratification of the Constitu-
ton. In some counties the number Of
votes cast was greater than the number
of persons who paid capitstiou tax last
year; in others the respective figures
are nearly equal; and in others the
number OF voters is much less
than the capitations, there being no
general ratio or relation between the
two lists. From this, the Intslhgencer
seems to infer that the vote cast at the
recent election was, in some OF the
counties, in excess OF the number OF
legal voters, and therefore fraudulent
There is, however, no probable ground
for such a suspicion; certainly none at
all in the table which has been,

porsry with such an air of triumph

domestic tragedy occurred in the lower part of
this county in which Mrs Ballard, wife of
James Ballard, was the victim of self-destruc-
ton. The unfortunate woman had been labor
ing under mental arrangement for some time
and it is thought she committed the rash act
while labOring under one of these fits.
Our information is that Mrs. Ballard procured
a rope and fastened it across the house. telling
her daughter to go to the spring after bucket
of water. and adding that she need not hurry
back. The girl was gone a reasonable length
find her mother hanging lifeless. She was in

clay. Her funeral took place on Sunday last.
