Everything Lovely Once More In Mr..
Beecher's Church.

Next 10 the panic and the possibility oi
war with Spain, the BRRcHER-T1LToN-
BOWEN scandal has interested the public.
1t now seems as II all the excitements
were to die away together, and not one
be left 10 console the newspapers. BOWEN
has Istracted his charges. or insinuations
rather, against Mr.. BEEcHRR, and made
the following confession:
"I, Henry @. Bowen, having given cred.
It, perhaps without due consideration, to
innuendoLs affecting Henry Ward Beech
er, and being influenced by them, as was
natural to man who receives impressions
suddenly, to the extent Of repeating them
-guardedly, however, and not for the
purpose OF injuring him, but strictly In
the confidence Of consultation-now feel
that therein l did him wrong. There.
fore, ! disavow all the charges and impu-
tations that have been attributed to me as
having been by me made against Henry
W. Beecher, and ] declare, without re.
serve, that know nothing which should
prevent me from extending to him my
most cordial friendship, confidence and
Christian fellowship; and l expressly with
draw all charges imputed as having been
made by me, and set forth In letters writ.
ten to me by Theodore Tilton, on January
l, 1871; and l sincerely regret having
made any imputations or innuendoes un.
favorable to the Christian character OF
Mr.. Beecher, and covenant that, for all
future time, l will never by word or deed
recur to, repeat, or allude TO any OF said
charges, or imputations, or innuendoes."
In view Of this resolution, It was recon-
mended that the complaint against MIR.
Bowen be dismissed. After some discus
sion the subject matter Of the report was
unanimously adopted.

The Removal OF lhe CapI.al.

The Martinsburg Independent published
few days ago very decided editorial
on the Capital question. Among other
remarks in that article II made the fol-
lowing statements:
1.-THE removal oil the Capital TO some
accessible point was thoroughly discussed
by the people Of this Panhandle last
winter, and II there ever was question
upon which our votes were unit, 1t was
the immediate removal Of the Capital
from Charleston. In referring to this queS.
tion now, and In again arguing the pass
age Of an act either temporarily or per-
manently removing the Capital TO place
convenient for all the people, we but re-
echo the earnest wish OF all our people
We do not know what potent means or
arguments were used last winter In defeat.
ing the removal, but we do not know
that 80 far as this end OF the State Is con.
concerned, there was deep feeling Of
disappointment at its failure. Certain II
10 that no man East Of the Alleghanes can
go before the voters for election to office,
opposing the removal Of the Capital,
with the slightest chance OF election.
1t may not be worth while TO discuss
this question "at this stage OF the game"
but If It is we should hope that words like
these might have some effect at Charles.
ton. The idea Of dragging the people Of
the two most populous Congressional dis
tricts In this State to Charleston by way
Of Washington City or through the in.
terIor Of Ohio Is simply ridiculous.

Among some recipes In late number
Of the Cincinnati Gazette we notice the
following:

WE have received from GRANVILLE
PARKER, Esq, Of Wellsburg, little vol
ume containing a collection Of poems
written by his gifted daughter, the late
Miss LlzzrE PARKER, once well'known
contributor to the INTELIIeENoRR, who
died February 7th, 1870, in the 2sth year
other age. She was very accomplished
writer, full Of poetic impulse, alive to the
great events Of the war and patriotic to
her very hearts core. She wrote many
noteworthy verses for our columns, some
Of which were greatly admired not only
Tor their themes but Tor the real poetic fire
and fancy that snimated them. She pos.
sessed unquestlonable poetic talents. Had
she lived longer she might have achieved
q widespread reputation. She was our
sweet singer in West Virginia during
the dark and doubtful days ofthe war,
and her animaiing notes could oilen be
heard high above every disaster that be-
fell our arms. In this little volume are
several war poems. There arealso num-
Der Of others that we never met before, and
Among them we notice an exquisite little
poem upon the death Of favorite dog
tha, we shall take the liberty Of quoting
Two or three verses from as specimen
Ot the dellc acy and tenderness Of her po-
etc fancy:
Art thou dead oh, Is It 10,
That TO selhHh man 10 given
All the glorious life 70 come,
Allthe cleaning gilt OF heaven
Coliei
Life Is deathleRs, thou hast lived;
Love divine, and thou vert loving;
Truth OF God, and thou vert true;
Immortality thus proving,
Coliel
Sleep, oh, trlGnd-if Dog and Nan
Both shall gain eternAl gplendoE,
IIhAll know the Light that lit
Thy brown eyes with glAnees tender,
C0liel

DEATH OF JOHN O. UNDERWOOD
The death Of this gentleman is Announceu
in our kilograms this morning. ne u
more or less well known 10 several citi-
zeDs Of Wheeling, especially Inc carry
Republicans. He first came INTO notice
n 1866, during the FREMONT camlalsn'
al which time he was compelled 10 leave
his homei in Clarke county, va, and go
North, on account Of his ireesoil sympa'
lhies. He retained his citizenship how
ever, in Virginia and occasionally went
back for brief sojourn alter the cam
paIgn OF 1855. In lsU0 he was q delegate
to the Chicago Convention from virginia.
and in that convention TOOK an scnVe part

Calling a Boy in the Morning.

Calling boy up in the morning
can hardly be classed under the head
Of 'pastimes," especially if the boy is
fond of exercise the day before. And
it is little singular that the next
hardest thing to getting a boy out Of
bed is in getting him into it. There
is rarely mother who is a success at
rousing a boy. All mothers know
this so do their boys. And yet the
mothers seem to 60 at it in the right
way. She opens the stair door and
insinuatingly observes: Johnny"
There is no response. "Johnny'-
Still no response. Then there is
short, sharp "John," followed a mo-
ment later by long and emphatic
"John Henry" A grunt from the up
per regions signifies that an impress
sion has been made, and the mother
is encouraged to add, "You'd better
be getting down here to your break
fast, young man, before | come up
there, an give you something you'll
feel. This so startles the young man
that he Immediately goes to sleep
again. And the operation has to be
repeated several times. A father
knows nothing about the trouble
He merely opens his mouth as a soda

Of his nature. And he pops out of
that bed and into his clothes, and
