FAST TINE. - Yesterday Lager Beer
Pete" was sitting in . sa oon with a friend
talking over the scenes of their childhood,
and "Der Watch on the Rhine,' feeling
just as good as one could feel with ninetyl
nine glasses OF beer 10 him aud the hum
dredtb just going down, when in steps the
''vrow" OF his friend, who forthwith accus-
ed Pete Of decoying her husband from his
work into the shiftless realms OF "BeerI
dom," at the same time accusing him o.
loafng about their house and eating up
their meat-a whole "pig." Shame ON you,
Pete, to 90 the whole "hog." The thought
OF which made the ''spouse" so furious that
she flew at Pete like tiger, tearing his
flesh with her nails and beating him over
the head with q broom until be flew from
the wrath that had come. Little Joe, who
keeps the ''gilt edged" boot and shoe estab-
lishment, says she "knocked all sorts OF
lager beer out OF him." Pete, who 10 scared
considerably, says he was "lushy and out Of
6x," but that be 10 now spending two hou,s
every day. He can be seen every day back
Of Little Joe's lighting the "sand bag" so
that when they meet again "then comes the
tug Of war;" Don't do 1t, Pete
"For be that fights and runs away,
Lives 10 fight another day."

Our friend, Capt Ray, hands us . copy
of the Newport, Kentucky, Weekly Lead'

our former towDsman, Mr. G.. R. Harms
long connected with the Central Petroleum
Company Of this place:
Among our most Important enterprise
in this city is the erection OF the Kentucky
Coal Elevator, owned by Harms, Williams
d Co., situated on the Licking River. jaH
above Swiil's Rolling Mill. These gentle
men are all men Of ample means; and we
are satisfied are well able TO carry out any
object they may undertake. They are both
young men. and well liked by all who know
them; and by the people giving them their
portion Of patronage, this institution will
regulate the coal market, so that especially
our poor people will thank them. Mr.. G.
X. Harms, q son in law Of G. W. Robson,
came to this city and associated himself
with Mr. Williams. and they conceived the
idea OF building coal elevator to sbir Goa
. thing much needed, as the people have no
way Of getting their coal except at an enor-
nous expense.
The Leader goes ahead to pay Mr.. Harms
q 0Le compliment as to bis qualifications ss
q gentleman and a thorough business man,
all Of which is correct, as the many friends
of Mr.. Harms in the oil region can testify
to.

Mr. R,dman,s Corn.

We are surprised TO read in an ex-
change that "the corn OF Mr.. Redman
of Lycomlpg county, is seven feet high. "
We pity Redman. We cannot imag.
inc bow he gets his boots on, over such
a corn as that, nor can we conceive
how he contrives to walk even when
he is barefooted, 1t is hardly likely,
we should think, that Redman himself
is more that six feet high, and if that is
the case that solitary corn Of his must
tower above his head. 1: might be a
good thing to tie an umbrella to, or he
might carry a flower pot Oh his foot
and have a honeysuckle climbing up
the corn and blcssoming under his nose.
OF course Redmau cannot enjoy him
self in wet weather. Those OF us who
have ordinary corns know how intense
is the suffering they cause upon damp
days. Now, imagine seven feet OF corn
in one long string, and an idea may be
obtained OF Redman's agony when the
air is moist. He would be very valu-
able man in the signal service bureau.
A man with a seven loot corn, in Wash
ingtou, ought to detect q storm that is
raging in Kansas. We hope Redman
will never have bunion. A man who
grows such monster corns would GER
tainly develop bunion the size of a
flour barrel. -Na.r Adler.

A Critical Season.

Toward the close Of the warm season the
long continued heat begins to tell upon
body and mind. Both become exhausted,
and We feel instinctiyely that nature, after
lighting gallant battle with facilitating
temperature Is dropping at last and requires
therefore, is a period of the year when q
course OF Hostetter's Stomach Bilters Is
especially useful. The immediate effect of
this uneaualled vegetable restorative is to
strengthen the stomach, sharpen the appe.
stesdipess and vigor to the nerves. As a
preventive OF the endemic and epidemic
complaints that prevail at this season, and
as remedy for indigestion, liver disturb
ances, nervous debility. constipation, Ian.
guor, headache, and all irregularities OF the
bowels, this pure and wholesome vegetable
tonic and Alternative has no equal among
medicines.

yERY ACCOMMoDATING.

What law authorizes the Public
Printer TO print marriage licenses and
certificates, for the counties Of the
State, and charge it to the State Gov
ernment7 Who orders such Printing?
Who is to see that the work that 10
charged for mas been done? Who ex-
amines the job2 Who certifes the
bills2 1t certainly is a great accom-
mediation to the county clerks, and they
will appreciate the kindness. Has the
printer for the State furnished sum-
mons, subpoenas and executions for the
clerks for the Circuit courts? If not,
why not2-Garleston Chronicle.
The above inquiries are very perth
nent, and we await anxiously the an
sver.-As the State authorities are too
modest (2) TO take tie matter in,their
own hands, we would suggest that a
law be passed at the adjourned session
Of the Legislature requiring all private
individuals and corporations who want
printing done to send it to the State
Printer, as these poor country printers
are q botch any how; aud besides they
might get living. We think Congress
and the Legislature together can fix
Mercury.
We have been thinking the same
way. Walker got the printing for the
school election throughout the State,
which is unfair to cay the least. We
only lost about two hundred dollars,
however, which isn't enough to blow
about. But is Walker to get all the
printing patronage Of the State2 II
so, we will shut up shop, and stand
erect and look upon the stars. "-Moore-
field advertiser.
II it be true as suggested by the
Chronicle that blank marriage Licenses
and certificates are being prepared by
the State Printer for distribution to the
several counties in the State, it is cer0
tsinly time that stop be put to this
illegal and unauthorized business. No
Stale officer has authority to order such
work to be done or to pay for it when
the bill is presented. 1t belongs ex-
clusively to the counties, and the State
officials have nothing 70 do with ii. At
all events the practice must be stopped,
and if the Governor can't muster up
enough energy and decision 10 do his
duty in relation to the matter, we hope
that the Attorney General will of his
own accord initiate such legal proceed
ipgs as will compel obedience to the
law and put an end to abuses which are
fast becoming intolerable.

POLITICAL PURITY AND "BACK
PAY

The Clarksbnrg Conservative, whose
publication has been resumed since the
passage the congressional salary bllI'
comes to rs now as an organ ofthe I'M
dependent Democrat" sod the chosen
vehicle OF baffled mslevolence and
spite. In a lengthy article in last
weeks paper the peculiarities OF whose
style sufficiently disclose its authorship,
high sounding ansthemas are hurled
upon the Democratic party OF the
State in general and upon the REGISTER
in particular, and "salsry-grab Con-
gresham" pirates about honesty and
honor.
A prudent man, knowing the fragile
character OF his own domicile. would be
careful not to throw stones, lest such q
response might be provoked as would
demolish his flimsy shelter and leave
him naked to his enemies. But the
writer for the Conservative lacks prur
dence. He is so blinded by Phariseeism;
30 exalted 10 his own conceit; go unsp-
proachable in the lustre OF his congress
sionsl dignity; that he looks down
upon the means by which he rose, and,
with Pecksnifian arrogance, vaunts
his pretensions to political purity and
personal probity. With his ill-gotten
five thousand dollars in his pocket he
becomes a preacher OF Righteousness
and says to the Democratic party OF the
State: Look at me and see how much
boiler | am than thou
The public have learned how 10 estl-
mate with tolerable accuracy the pre-
tensions OF men who, while warning
against their former political friends,
claim that they alone are the reposi-
tories of truth and that the party has
gone estray. When stranded like
drift-wood upon the shore they will
still imagine themselves in the current,
and call out to the waves that
they are rolling in the wrong way.
Unable or unwilling to keep up with
the march of events, they sit down by
the wayside and call upon the columns
to hall while they talk about what JET
PERSON said; and when the vast army
has moved forward, these discontented
grumblers imagine themselves the only
patriots in the land. We have gener-
ally found that the men whom a POI
litical party leaves are men who are
themselvee apostates or who desert to
the enemy in order 10 escape punishs
ment st home and we respectfully in
sist that the Democratic party OF West
Virginia is not now in proper temper
to hear lecture on political and per-
sonal purity preached by a man who
drew from the public treasury the back
pay that has rendered its recipients no.
torious. The Quieter men Of that class
can keep just now the better it will be
for their comfort and their reputation.
