SlATk SENATOR'S.

The Democratic Senatorial Conven-
ton for the First District met in Wells
burg last Friday and rendered the
nomination to Mr.. A. J. PANNELL, OF
Ohio county and Mr.. ADRIAN WILSON
of Brooke.
Both of these gentlemen are we'll
worthy OF the support Of the Democracy
Of this District and, should they con-
sent to serve, will be careful of the in
terests OF their constituents. Mr..
PANNBLL is thoroughly known to
the people Of this cousty and
the purity Of his political re-
cord has no stain. He was a men,
her of the Constitutional Convention
last winter, and it is but just 10 say
that there were few men in that body
who exercised more influence than he.
Endowed with strong, practical, and
useful common-sense, and valuable
experience as q business man, he was
able to do very good service in the
Convention, and as q member OF the
State Senate his knowledge OF the
wants OF the business community here
will render his services very desirable
Mr.. ABEaN WILSON is a fair repre-
sentative and type Of the farming IN
terest- He is whole-souled, hospita
BILE, thrifty, industrious and weil-to-do
farmer, and has all of the intelligence
and sterling common sense of the class
10 which be belongs. He too is q first.
rate Democrat and man OF unim-
peachable integrity and unblemlshed
reputation. He will make very good
representative.
The qualities that fit g man for SER
vice in the State Senate ere somewhat
different from those that are required IN
the House OF Delegates. The latter Is
much the larger body and is more readi
" controlled by FLUENT speakers than the
former. In the Senate sound Judgment
exerts more Influence than oratory, and
personal conversation does more to mold
it's action than the most eloquent speech
making.
Should they consent to serve, we
doubt not that PAyNELL and WILSON
would exert as much influence in the
State Senate and accomplish as much
for the interests OF the people Of the
District as any two men who could be
selected. We have spoken of their
candidacy as in some sense con-
tingent and uncertain, because we are
informed that there is some doubt o
their consent. Should Mr.. Wilson
decline, the choice of the District viii
undoubtedly fall upon Mr., CUNNING
HAN, of Hancock, who is entitled &c
the same commentator that has been
bestowed upon Mr.. WILSON and whose
services in the past have met the entire
appreciation of the party in the District
The matter will be fully determined in
y few DAYS.

A Desperate Venture.
From the Washington Star.


We wagered small sum with friend
once that he could not get out of that
paradise of snobs called the Fifth Ave
nue. Hotel without being forced to fee
the waiter. He was a plucky fellow.
He had behaved handsomely under fire
IN the field, and passed with credit
from under all sorts of social batteries
in the battle of life We watched him
closely. He marched from his room,
valise in hand, and began his descent
of the grand stairway, scorning to take
advantage of the elevator. He passed
servants cycling him as if he was a
sneak thief, as he was. His first Skin
mish came off in the hall opposite the
dining room and our friend proved the
victor. The last fight was trying. Di-
rectly facing it is that heavy battery of
clerks, whose diamond shirt fronts.
shiny hair, stunning clothes, and ele-
waited manners SO opposite poor hui
manity. We saw our friend draw a
deep breath and begin the descent.
He took the fire of lofty contempt from
the clerk battery. and turning to the
left encountered heavy reserve of
whisk brooms. They charged on him
in platoon; while one attachment at
tackled his baggage another assaulted
him on the flank and rear with whisk
brooms. He fought through CALAMITY.
He had nearly reached the entrance
when q huge African bore down upon
his RIG hit and the two passed out strug-
ling for the valise. Victory hung
doubtful, when, unfortunately for our
gallant friend, two ladies of his ac-
quaintance. who happened to be pass
ing, paused to bid him farewell This
was fatal. He relinqulshed his valise,
bowed to his friends, was thrust into a
hack, and meekly paid the African
counterfeit fifty-cent fractional curren
cy that he held in reserve in case
worst came to worst.

Blundered Into Wealth.

An advertisement in the Boston pa
pers announcing the sale at auction of
the Dexter property in Newburyport,
bring tO. mind numerous stories cur
rent IN that city respecting the eocen-
trio individual who fourished there in
the latter part of the last century I'M
der the self-assumed title of Lord
Timothy Dexter. This was the fortu-
nate merchant who, with brains either
so scant or disordered that he was con-
tinually making himself an object of
derision, still biundered into what in
those days was considered a stupen-
dOus fortune. 1t was Lord Dexter who,
consulting Waggish acquaintance as
to profitable way of investing certain
moneys, was advised to ship a cargo of
warming pans to the West Indies, and
availed himself of the advice to the
great mirth of all who heard of the
transaction. The cream of the Joke,
however, was the warming pans found
sale to the sugar manufacturers for
ladies, and Dexter realized a great pro-
fit on the venture. A shipment of red
woollen night-caps to the coast of
Guinea, suggested as a joke, turning
Somebody wishing to hum bug the old
fellow, told him one day that news had
come that all the whales were dying
off. Dexter went to work and bought
up ali the whalebone he could get hold
OF, fairly cornering the market, after
which he unloaded at an immense pro-
fit. Having at last blundered into
great wealth, he assumed the title Of
Lord Dexter and spent great deal of
money IN laying out attractive grounds
about his house, but ruined the effects
produced by skillful gardeners by set
ting up in every direction carved wood
en- figures of the most bideous de-
scription. Twenty-Five years ago some
of these figures were still to be seen on
the grounds. Lord Dexter, becoming
ambitious of literary distinction, pub
hshed a book with the title of ga
Pickle for the Knowing Ones;" bu5
being conscious of weakness in the
matter of punctuation, put all the
periods, commas, semicolons and the
like at the end of the book, telling his
readers that they might pepper and salt
his production to suit themselves. A
few years before his death he had a
mock funeral, and afterward beat his
wife because she did no exhibit suffi-
cient grief over his fictitious demise.
Some time ago the house and grounds
once occupied by this strange charac-
ter came into the possession of veal
thy citizen of Newburyport, who has
made the place one of the most beauti-
full residences in New England
