The Wellsburg Herald loses no oppor'
tun!ty to express opposition to the pro-
posed removal of the Capital to Wheel
Ing As well as We can make out, the
RraIGs reason is that "it is better" inits
own language, ito put up with the incon.
vcniences OF the Charleston location than
to run the risk Of an Interminable squab'
bic, to cay nothing Of the cost" Itseems
10 US the "lntcrminable sQuabbla" is far
more likely II the seat Of government re-
mains where 1t is. The people of the
State cannot become reconciled to having
the Capital at a point with which com.
munIcation Is SO difficult, and the struggle
for removal will be kept up just so long as
it stays there, while the effort to keep 1t
there will color and corrupt all important
legislation, as 1t is doing this winter. AS
10 "the cost" we do not see just what our
cotemporary means. Wheeling proposes
that the State shall not bo at any expense,
either for removal or for accommodations
sOIOng as the capital remains here. There
will be no cost till the work Of building
capItol,is begun; and II when that time ar.
rives the temporary capital is here, there
will be opportunity for free, untrammel'
ed choice as to the point where the capl-
tOl shall be built Butifpublic sentiment
can be brought to acquiesce in the lcca'
ton at Charleston, as the Reraa advises,
then demand will be made for appro.,
priations to proceed with the erection Of
capitol. The Charleston people will
move for this Just so soon as they dare.

4 few Words About the Parlor Gem
Rinnn.

The manufactures of this favoriic instrument,
after an experience OF about fifteen years, in
which time il has been extensively sold in all
par . ofthe United States and Canada, deem it
unnecessary 10 indulge in cNtrayagaut lauiations
of lis Iurri,.. 1t is justly taking higi, rank for
in egrity of workmanship, purify and sweetness
of tone, and durability of action, the three car
tlinsl points in n Piano Forte. In these particu-
lars we isvite the most thorough criticism, aid
{ ha ilcnge the closest scrutiny.
The lame was drst applied TO 6 l-a octave
Pianos of which hundreds wcrssr"adiIy sold, and
most of which would now sell, after from 10 TO Is
years wear, for the pri :e originally paid for
them. 1t WAS subsequently enlarged to a1oc-
;ave Piano, retaining the name by which il had
become so favorably known, the ''Parlor Gem"
and is increasing in popularity still. One proof
OF the popular fay,r which has greeted our
Piano is found in the fact that several n,aHufac-
iurrs have copied The name, at least in pant,
and have endcavorrd to init ate the Piano, the
succrss of which has excited tLeir envy.
For years past our orders have exceeded the
."paciiy Of our mandatory, and with facilities
rr ally increased during the past three years,
we a.. ill unable TO meet the demand.
The arti t has admirably succeeded in giving,
on the oppo tie page, a correct idea of the sever
al styI. sol III, Parlor Gem.
The styles give, represent only Seven Octave
Piano. 1t is we'll known that by this
we mean Rosewood vcncerc1, and that all
carved legs are grain ed in imitation OF l;ose-
woDd. All our Pianos represented here have the
French top hampers, oyrrstruns bass pushed
keys, Ivory front, solid Rosewood mouldinss
and full iron frunc.
We use only the best F!ench Action, thor
ouglly seasoned materials, aud all our Pianos
are warranted for five years
We wish it distinctly understood that although
making Il los priced instrument, We guarantee
that in every respect it is thoroughly first class.
We are willing that our key board and action
shall be compared with that of the most cele-
brated manufacturers Of square pianos. aud
challenge any criticisms which my be offered.
All our STYLES are equally well made, and for
must elaborate style. our finer styles will have
the pest figured wood and more ornament, but
will be intrinsically no better than the palmer
ones.
SIZE M SCALE.
The Parlor Gem Is now made from our new
and improved Scale "a TO Al aud is6 feet 9 in
