What tale Of extravagance and folly
these advertisements tell! People are so
puffed up with false pride, that they will
make almost any sacrifice to keep up
appearances and shine in their ''set, !"
beside others who can count their in
come by tens Of thousands. This rage
for show that has possessed our people
is shown in the manner in which many
tain carriage to make their calls. There
are in this city probably fifty livery men
who drive lucrative business by sup.
plying SNOWY turn out to such families
as cannot stand the expense of mnintain-
ing one OF their own. They will, for u
stipulated sum per hour, supply cnr-
riage, horses and coachmnn to their pa.
irons. who usually keep suit of livery
in their house in which to dress the
coachman. When an order is given, the
family coat, pants, boots. hat, etc, are
sent to the stable, into which driver
crawls, and in half an hour the would
be fashionable lady drives up in front OF
her friends house. in oil the pomp and
splendor of coac'l-and-pair and live
ried driver.
No one suspects that oil but the coach
mans livery is borrowed for the occa-
sion, and the impression is left upon the
mind Of the spectator that Mrs. Jones
husband is growing wealthy. Other Ia
dies who have no coach envy her, be,
cause they do not know that by spend
ing IS or 9I0 day. they might them
selves shine to as good advantage. Not
infrequently does one coachman attached
to stable wear the liveries of fve or six
families per day. I know of what ]
write when speak thus. Among those
cases have in my minds eye is that OF
the family of promising e1-Judge oi
the Superior Court. who made calls with
borrowed coach, with coachman and
two footmen dressed in the family livery.
An establishment of this magnifcence
usually costs Sc to $40 per ho7r.

TERRIFIC Miro. .GLYcEn1xE EXPLOSION.
"A despatch from Catesville. Bedford
County, Pa, eaye:
On Thursday evening. about half.past
10. the Inhabitants in and around Gates
vile were suddenly startled by most
terrific explosion of the magazine of the
Cambria Coal and Iron Company, situate
some distance from the village. The
shock WAS like that of severe earth
quake, and the shaking Of the houses
continued for come seconds after the
magazine blew up. Nearly every window
within radius of two miles of the dis
aster was broken. On reaching the place
where the catastrophe occurred. its ap-
pearance was fearful. Every vestige Of
the once solidly constructed magazine
was .obliterated, and for distance Of 500
yards in every direction. tho earth was
ront into great chasms sixty or seventy
feet deep. Giant trees had been torn up
by the roots, some of them being hurled
to distance Of nearly half mile while
others seemed as if they had been over
taken by the immense masses of earth
and rock and partially buried almost
where they grew. At the time Of the OK.
plosiou. there were stored in the magn
zine 700 pounds Of giant powder anI
seventy pounds Of nitro-giycarine
Shortly before dark on Thursday even

time. no one knows who is missing and
who is not. I'M many of the men and boys
who We're employed near by had theil
relations living III other Counties, tc
whom, no doubt, many went home te
spend short vacation.
The cholera has so far abated in Nnsh
Vile that the Robertson Association,
volunteer sanitary society, which b. as de
voted itself to the relief of sufferers from
the disease, has been disbanded, anG
many physicians hove been dismissed
who were engaged by the authorities tt
wait upon cholera patients among til,
poor. But in disappearing from til,
city the disease has broken ont in th,
towns and villages Of the surrounding
country, and in Murfreesboro and othe
places in that direction it prevails to al
alarming extent. It thus appears tha
the epidemic has made Nashville bas,
Of operations. from which, having con
served its available materials there, it il
ditfusing itself on oil sides into tn,
neighboring towns and Counties. Start
ing from New Orleans, the disease in it

Memphis and other noints along Tn,

Cairo, from which point it has pursued
the line of the main stream to St. Louis
and the Ohio to Louisville and Cincin

rat hAfiAOAD AND BRIDGE
sURsCRIPTlONs.


Our report Of the proceedings Of the
First Branch of Council contains, in
full, the amendments reported BY the
special committee, to whom was reier-
red the ordinance directing subscrip-
ton to the Wheeling and Lake Erie
Railroad Company. The consideration
of these amendments was postponed
until next Monday night. We have
not examined them with care, but pre-
sumo they contain ell ths"guarsntees
the most fsstidious can desire. 1t
strikes US, in hasty Perusal, that it the
railroad company can and will accept
the subscription on the terms proposed
the city is safe enough. By the terms
of the amended ordinance, the COM
papy will be required to build a railroad
to Wheeling, then give US $500 600 to-
wards building our bridge, expend some
hundreds Of thousands for grounds
buildings, shops. machinery, &C., within
the city, and in return we subscribe to
the stock of their road the sum Of
100000. We hope that Wheeling will
not in this case, as she has on one OF
two occasions heretofore, in her deal
ings with railroad companies, overreacb
herself in attempting to drive q partic'
ularly sharp bargain.

Dress Plainly.

Some one has given the following
reasons why people should dress plain
ly on Sunday. These reasons are as
valid any other day in the week:
l. 1t would lessen the burden Of
many who now find it hard to main
tain their place in society.
" 9. 1t would lessen the force Of temp
tations which often lead men to barter
honesty and honor for display.
3 If there was less strife IN dress at
church, people in moderate circum-
stances would lie more inclined to at
tend. 49,.
4. Universal moderation in dress at
church would improve the worship by
the removal Of many wandering
thoughts.
5. 1t would enable all classes Of peo-
ple to attend church in unfavorable
weather. $780,
6. 1t would lessen on the part OF the
rich the temptation to vanity.
7. 1t would lesson on the part Of the
poor the temptation to be envious and
malicious.
8. 1t would save valuable time on the
Sabbath.
9. 1t would relieve our means from
a serious pressure, and thus enable us
to do more for good enterprises.

IT will be observed, from reference
to our Charleston letter, that the SUI
preme Court is to hold three sessions
each year, hereafter, viz: One in
Wheeling commencing on the first
Wednesday in June; onein Charlestown,
Jefferson county. commencing on the
first Wednesday in August; and the
third in Charleston commencing on
the second Wednesday in January.
Now, if the Legislature will give US
three capitals, one for each Congress
ional District, all can be happy. I'm
less, indeed, few mortals who can
never be quite satisfied, may desire a
penitentiary for each OF the extreme
points OF the State.

THE SAVINGS INSTITUTION LOSS.

The "InteIIigencer's" Candidate for
Mayor.
Editors OF the Register:
| see Thomas Sweeney is announced
az the citizens candidate for Mayor at
the approaching Charter election. No
doubt he may be supported by many
persons rider the impression that he
would be "the right man in the right
place"
| know the gentleman well, have
been in positions to see the effect OF his
positive manner on others when he is
invested with power, and say from my
knowledge OF the man the voters could
not do worse than elect HIM to the
office he asks. :,
1t is fact beyond shadow Of doubt
Mr.. Sweeney, as chairman OF the
Finance Committee of the Council, did
prevent the removal of the clty's de-
post in the Wheeling Savings lnstltu>
ton to a sale bank. 1t is true be was
aided BY E. J. Stone, member OF the
committee, and at present candidate
for Council, and A. c. Quarter, the
Treasurer of the Institution. But Mr..
s. led the opposition to removal in his
usual positive style, and by his great in.
fluence over certain gentlemen OF the
committee, he was able to control the
matter for himself and his bank, and
the city's money was permitted to re-
main in the Institution and was lost.
Now, / ask, is he the proper man to
elevate to the highest position in our
city government What has he ever
done for the city, in all the positions he
has ever occupied, to entitle him to the
confidence and support of the people :?
| am at loss to know. / do not charge
that Mr.. Sweeney is dishonest or could
be corrupted, but l do say he is not a
safe man TO manage the finances Of our
city, judging from the past. He has too
many irons OF his own in the fire to
give any attention to the citys affairs,
even were he competent, which / main
tain he is not. The Sweeneys have
been expensive Injuries to the city Of
Wheeling. 1t is high time they were
lett out Of places in the city government,
where they use their positions to adj
vance their own interests. Posted.

THE proposed street railway to Elm
Grove is no mere piece Of moonshine.
We may remark that Bishop WHELAN
proposes to show his faith in the enter
prise by q subscription OF $4,000 to the
capital stock Of the company. So he
has informed US. And he further esti-
mates that the travel to and from the
cemeteries alone will pay the expenses
OF operating the road. The first cost
of building the road ought not to be
great as itisin the power of the Legis-
lature to grant free right Of way along
the side Of the national road, and as far
as the route would adhere to that road
the grading is pretty much already
done. After the road is built, two or
three little dummy engines. with hall
q dozen cars and as many men, will do
the work. 49, tax :
Now that Elm Grove hdsS Dir 70 be
our nearest and principat sesead sta
sion, this road will beooasa . necessity.

To the Teachers or west Virgins

To the Teachers Of West Virginia.
Under the operation of our new
Constitution, important changes in the
practical working of our system of pub
lie shoots may be expected, and it is Of
the highest concern that these should
be determined, as far as possible, by the
concurrent wisdom OF our most exper-
fenced educators. ......
1t is believed that our Legislature
would not only respectfully receive such
suggestions as might be agreed upon by
a convention of the teachers of the
State, but that they would also direct
their legislation in generous spirit OF
harmony with any plan that might be
recommended to their consideration.
To this end, the undersigned beg
leave to call a General Convention o.
the Teachers Of West Virginia, to meet
at Grafton. on Friday, the Slst day OF
January, 1873. and to urge, with all the
earnestuess that the importance Of the
occasion should excite, the attendance
of as many Of the enlightened friends
of education as can possibly come to
aid us in giving system and efficiency to
this great interest Of our State.
