The Peniten,larr 1nvestiratIon.

az = -
From the MoundSviile Reporter.)
On Thursday, Moundsville was honor
ed with joint investigation committee
from the Legislature, to look after the Of.
fairs OF the Peniteniary. This Is not the
regular standing committee on the Peni-
Tertiary but o special one, and we believe
the only special committee to examine
into State institutions, appointed during
the session of the Legislature. And so
we SEQ the officers and directors Of the
prison, are to have some notoriety, even
il 1t is at the expense Of the State, and
perhaps at the expense Of themselves, but
we have little hope Of any thorough in
vestigation being had, as we see there Is
not q Republican on the committee and
we will be sadly disappointed, II consider
able withdrawing is not done. We
hope the committee will act in good faith
and make such q thorough investigation
as will leave no room for doubts as to the
honesty OF the committee. The fact that
this Is the only committee OF the kind
appointed, shows that there Is a suspicion
even at Charleston that everything Is not
as smooth as 1t mightbe.

TWO SCENES.

A gentleman took his son to drunk
en- row in tavern, where the inmates
were fighting and swearing, and, said he,
"Do you know what has caused all this p
"No, SIR
His father, pointing to the decanters
sparkling with rum, said, "7Hot's the
cause will you take a drink %
The boy started back with horror and
exclaimed "No!'
Then he took his child to the cage of
a man with delirium tremens. The boy
gazed upon him affrighted as the drunk
ard raved and tore, and thinking the dc
mons were after him, cried leave me
alone leave me ale ne see 'em, they re
coming p
'Do you know the cause of this, my
boy ?"
"No, sir.
This is caused by drink; will you
have some?"
And he shrank with shudder as he
refused the cup.
Next they called at the miserable how
ell of drunkard, where was squalid
poverty, and the drunken father beating
his wife, and with oaths, knocking down
his children.
'.What has caused this ?" said the
father.
The son was silent When told it
was rum, he declared he would never
touch drop in his life. But suppose
that lad should be invited to a wedding
feast, where with fruit and cake the wine
cup is passed amid scenes of cheerful
ness and gayety, where all the friends
are respectable, beloved, and kind to
each other, and he should be asked to
drink, would he refuse? Or, suppose
him walking out with his father on New
Years day to call upon his young lady
friends to enjoy the festivity of the ush-
ering in Of the new year. With other
things, wine is handed to him by a
smiling girl. His noble-hearted father
whom he loves, presses the wine glass tc
his lips, and compliments the young
ladies upon the excellence of its quality
what wonder if the son follow his ex

THE PONEY THAT TURNED THE
WATER on.

An almost unparalleled circumstance
was noticed at Muirhall, near West
Caldar. during the great heat that pre-
vailed in the summer. An Iceland po-
ny, the property of John Waddell, con-
tractor, was for time, left to his own
free will, during the temporary absence
of It's driver. The pony which had
been driven for a considerable dis
tance, and was seemingly actuated by
a craving for water, was observed by the
proprietor of Muirhall. and others who
chanced to be in the vicinity. to deliber-
ately walk distance of full 80 yards,
and with its teeth turn the cock of a
water pipe projecting out Of the road
embankment, supply itself with draught
of the refreshing beverage, readjust the
cock, and return to the position in which
it was left. This case is not only parall
eled, but surpassed by one that occurred
at Leeds. IN 1904. A gentleman horse
was regularly turned into field where
was pump, the water of which never
failed. The horse observed how tn,
pump worked, and at last took to pump
ing for himself, thus saving the groom
the trouble of providing him with wa
ter. His mode of procedure was to tax
the handle Of the pump between hi
teeth and pump away until the troug

THE ssyEILED MURDEREss.'

An exchange gives a long account OF one
Henrietta Robinson, who about twenty
years ago was accused of poisoning
man and a woman in Troy, New York,
and was convicted and sentenced to death,
but the sentence was commuted to i'm
prisonment for life She was styled at
the time the ..Veiled murderess," as
she kept herself closely yelled in court
and in prison. and would neither show
her face nor give any account of herself
nor her family. She has now been IS
years in Sing Sing and generally enjoys
good health and spirits, and preserves
her good looks. She was very hand
some woman when she went to prison.
and was supposed to belong to some high
family either in England or Ireland =
She has never yet breathed a word in re-
gard to her family which has reached
the public. She is called ''Mrs. Robin
son. by the other convicts, who one and
all entertain for her the deepest respect.
Having been uniformly exemplary in her
conduct, she has been granted many tri-
fling privileges not allowed to ordinary
prisoners Her cell is curiosity in it's
way. 1t is represented to be miniture
conservatory, embracing some rare floral
productions. 1t is also embellished with
many other evidences of refinement and
culture. She is more communicative to
the chaplain of the prison than any one
else, and towards him she occasionally
throws off portion of her habitual re-
serve. 1t is even supposed she has made
some important communication to him
under the seal of secresy, and he states
that before many months shall have pass
ed there possibly may be more disclos-
ures given to the public in regard to her
case, which will present her in differ
ent light than that in which she has
heretofore stood. This chaplain, who
attended her trial, has always expressed
belief in her entire innocence of the
crime for which she was convicted.

How We FADE-As the trials of life
thickeD, and the dreams of other days
fade one by one, in the deep vista Of
disappointed hope, the heart grows wea-
ry of the struggle, and we begin to re-
alize our insignifcance. Those who
have climbed to the pinnacle of fame,
or revel in luxury and wealth, 60 to the
grave at last with the. poor mendicant
who begs by the wayside, and like him
are soon forgotten. Generation after
generation, says an eloquent writer, have
felt as we feel, and their fellows were
as active in life as ours are now. They
passed away as vapor, while nature
wore the same aspect of beauty as when
the Creator commanded her to be. The
heavens will be as bright over our graves
as they are now around our path; the
world has the same attraction for off
springs yet unborn that she had for our
selves, and that she has now for oul
children.

city gentleman, a rising lawyer, and the
supposed worshiper of her cousin Dora.
They chatted of flowers, of Daisy's own
especial garden, of books, and Daisy's
fayorite authors, of country life and the
tiny glimpse Daisy had caught of city
pleasure, till the brimming bean-pan
warned the girl that it was time to 90 to

the kitchen door, she led her guest to

Mrs. Bis8et was not proof against the
charms Of her city boarder's courteous,
deferential manner, and letter for Da-
vid from his brother, introducing Mr.
Monroe, and giving his word for his po-
sition and character, quieted any further
maternal fears.
Daisy found many a household task
taken from her hands when Mr. Monroe
asked her to ride or walk, and it was
wonderful to watch how her mind ex-
panded and rose in the refined, intelli-
gent intercourse now allowed her. Win
ming and sweet she had ever been-a
pure flower in her innocent grace and
beauty; but Oscar was amazed to find
how quickly she followed his lead into
new paths of intellectual pleasure; how
delicate and refined were all her instincts,
and how carefully chosen was her habit

but the homeliest duties seemed to ac-
quire a grace in her dainty touch.
Every day Oscar Monroe found his
heart was less in his own keeping; ev.
cry day Daisy thought with keener pain
that the summer must pass. and the
boarder would return to his city home
But there came a moonlight evening
when, pacing slowly up and down the
garden path with Daisy beside him, Os
car spoke ont the love that he had nurs
ed and cherished, and asked Daisy fol
the gift of her own precious heart. Shy
and dropping, but frank withal, Daisy
told him the gift was his before he ask

THE LATE TRAIN.

For the evening train;
Better take it easy,
To fret would be in vain.
Loafers seem to like it,
Putting out their smoke,
Sp'rting their saliva,
Cracking many joke.
Women with their children,
Far away from home,
Wishes they were going.
Strange the cars don't come.

Talk about the news,
Politics and markets,
Giving each his views.

Farmers from the town,
Bellies in all their beauty,
Going on the down."

What a pleasant prospect
Two more hours to wait!

Pass SO slowly by;

And making poetry.

MODEL JURIEs-Iwo members of the
petit jury sitting in the Court of Quar-
ter Sessions in Philadelphia are profeS-
sional gamblers, and one of them has
been three times arrested within the last
three months III the very act of gambling.
Only last week, while these two profess
sional gamblers were in the jury box, it
was proposed that the jury of which
they were members should try recent
" arrested batch Of gamblers, among
whom by a pleasant coincidence was
one of the very Jurors aforesaid. Set
ting a thief to catch thief may, or may
not, be good policy; but setting a gam
bier to try his own case was not regard
ed as in good taste, and the juryman
was undisturbed. Not long since a Phil
adelphia juryman relieved his pent up
feelings, after the monotorous routine OF
court business by gong out and commit
ting burglary When such things as
these are true, and their exposure is
regarded as only very good joke, it is
evident that something is at fault in the
jury system of Philadelphia ; and thai
the execution of justice is not only hope
less, but becomes a ludicrous farce whe1
burglars and gamblers sit in the jury
box to try the case of themselves anc
their followers. That is too literal al
Interpretation of provision which re
quires that "a man shall be tried by

There is some talk Of having geolog-

take him at least two days, and he won t
do it for less than $3.50. That's west
ern wickedness. They think out there,
unless the map of state covers a whole
