THE Parkersburg STATE Jourra! de-
MES the assertion OF the Eraminer;upou
which we commented q few days ago
concerning the alleged discharge OF five
young lady teachers by the Republican
Board o. Education because Of their
supposed political sYmpathies. It does
not deny, however, that portion o.
the Examiners statement in which 1t
alleged that two of the principals OF
ward schools had been refused employ.
ment because they are Democrats
This remains unchallenged and may,
therefore, be accepted as true.
The Republican party in West
Virginia is in no condition tc
kindle anew the fires of political
prescription. After all that was endur.
cd by the Democrats during Radica
sway i, this State, the conduct of ths
present dominant party has been mark
ed by the utmost magnanimity. Re-
publicans have been treated with 8
consideration which they could not
have justly expected, and the utmost
care has been had to avoid on the part
ofthe Democracy even the appearance
of prescription. II Republicans, when
they gain by false representations a
little local authority such as that Of
the echool board Of Psrkersburg, re-
vive the practices o. their past, it may
well be questioned whether the Demo-
Gratis should no: at CAGE draw the
lines and take care OF themselves. 1t
seems to be useless any loEger to cast
pearls before swine.

A PLEASING INCIDENT.-Miss Annie L.
Cary of the Strakosch Concert Troupe,
whose indisposition, on her recent visit
to Rutland, was so much regretted by
her many admirers here was warm,
personal friend and schoolmate of Mrs.
Charles FL. Sheldon of West Rutland.
The friends of Miss Cary here relate the
following pleasing incident which illus
trates the characteristic generosity and
,uagnaninity of the talented p''tnad
don4aG. During, or at the close of con-
cert oiven by Miss Gary and others in
Poultney some time ago, the attention
of the audience and performers were
directed toward the entrance-way to tle
hall from whence the martial strains of
sstramp, tramp, tramp" were heard to
proceed in sweet and melodious tones.
The unusual occurrence interested all,
and Miss Cary leaving the stage, prompt
ly made her way to the door, where stood
the impromptu vocalist, little girl,
meanly clad, who readily accepted. the
nroffered hand of Miss Cary who led her
to and back upon the stage. Here the
little one sang several simple melodies to
the graceful accompaniment of the gift
ed songstress, after which, taking gen.
tleman's high hat for contribution box,
Miss Cary passed quietly through the
admiring audience, collecting nice do
nation for her novel protege. We be-
lieve this really pleasing, truthful and
highly romantic incident was never pub
lished, and as an evidence of the admi-
rable self-possession, characteristic bene-
