Commissioner Wheeler. They spent considerable
time in arranging the plan of work. and the Con-

revised; estimates were compared, amendments
were proposed to few and many laid over for
further consideration or passed over without re-
mark Mr. Wheeler and Mr. Vance complained that
their requests for explanations in reference to certain

B| If we spend our money at home
it will return to us. If we buy home
made goods we create a demand for
them, aud give employment to opera
tiyes in our midst, who in turn have to
be fed, clothed and have houses to live
in-thus money circulates, a profit Is
left with every one through whose

hundrcds-how important then it is for
us to buy homemade articles, to foster
and build up all that is made at home.
Every dollar that is spent out of the
State is a drawback to home industries;
direct blow to home manufactures,
which will help to pay our taxes and
relieve the public of its heavy burden;
manufactures which will bring thous-
ands Of skilled artzans to West Virgin
ia to buy our produce and build up our
waste places. Every encouragement
should be given to home manufactures
by the farmers Of West Virginia, for in
so doing they only advance their own
interests.

A BASE BALL OBITUARY.
BY WILL B. EATON.

J. Smith is dead. That fine young man
We never shall see more.
He was a member of our club
Since 1864.
His parentage was Irish, and
His wit was always pat.
He played in any place, and was
A terror at the bat.
His private virtues were immense,
His manner free and bluff,
He wore paper collar, and
Was never known to muff
He rarely took drink more strong
Than lemonade and pop
He hated drunkards, and was a
Magnificent short-stop.
His nose was Roman, and his eyes
Continually were peeled,
He made splendid umpire, and
A beautiful left field.
His hair was red, and ''shingled" close;
Much sunburned was his face,
He never shone with more effect
Than on the second base.
Being a man, he had his faults,
AS likewise have we all,
He felt a preference for the New
York regulation ball.
Though not matrimon man,
He dearly loved match,
And like his sister, had but few
Superiors on 'the catch
He had noble mind, as exc
A very supple wrist;
And when he pitched he gave the ball
His own peculiar twist
Of politics and church affairs,
lie held restricted views;
His feet were usually encased
In canvas hobnailed shoes.
But he is gone. With ins and outs
Forever he is done,
He broke his heart, and burst his spleen
In making home run.
His body we have planted, but
His soul is in the sky,
The angels reached from heaven down,
And took him on the fly.

rEMPLAR.

BOILER EXPLosIoN.-A terrible ex-
plosion occurred in a Touring mill at
Fairview, on Tuesday evening, 9th
inst, which caused the death of Geo.
w. Henshaw, a prominent citizen of
Wooster Ohio, and &. G. Binkley, the
owner of the mill.
Mr.. Henshaw met Mr. B. there on
business. There had been some diff
Guilty to get water into the boiler At
6 o'clock the engineer left for his sup
per, and told Mr.. b. he guessed it was
all right, and that he could start If he
chose TO-. The engineer had not been
gone ten minutes before the explosion.
Mr.. Henshaw was found lying on his
back, with his head bent under his body.
He lived about five minutes, but did not
speak. His face and head were some
what scalded, it is supposed his neck
was broken. His sudden death will
startle the whole community, as he has
been prominent man in the communi-
ty, as he has been prominent man In
the community for number of years.
The bereayed family will have all the
consolation which sympathizing friends
can offer.-Uesiern Exchange.
Mr. Henshaw was native OF this
county, where two of his brothers still
reside and for several years carried on
the milling business at the old Heushaw
mill on Mill Creek His sudden and
untimcly death will bring sorrow not
only TO his own immediate household
but to his many relatives and friends in
this county. Truly it may be said 'that
in the midst of life we are in death. -

SAM sLICK ON LAwYERs.

Few things resemble each other IN
nature more than an old cunning law
yer and spider. He weaves his thread
in corner with no light to show the
thread of his net, but in shade like;
there he waits in his dark Office to re-
ceiye visitor. A buzzing, buzzing,
thoughtless fly, thinking o nothing bat
bis beautiful wings, and well-made legs,
or rather near.sighted withal, comes
stumbling head over heels into the net.
Il beg your pardon" says the fly, Il
really didn't see this network of yours
weather is so foggy and the streets
so confounded dark; I'm afraid I've
done mischief.
Not at all, said the spider, bowing.
II guess it's all my fault. | reckon /
had ought to have hung lamp out; but
stay-don't move, or you may do dam
age. Allow ME to assist you And
then he ties up one leg, and has him as
fast as a Gibraltar.
Now, says the spider, "my good
friend Ga phrase feller uses when he's
agoin' to be tricky,) I'm afraid you've
hurt yourself considerable some. /
must bleed you"
Bleed me :" SAYS the fly. Excuse
me, am much obliged to You, but l
don't require it"
30, yes you do, my dear friend, and
he gets ready for the operation.
IF You dare do that" says the fly,
I'll knock you down; and I'm a man
that what l lay down | stand on"
You had better get up first says
the spider, laughing; "you must pay the
damage" And he bleeds him till he
gasps for breath and feels faintin comm
on.
Let ME go, good fellow" says the
poor fly, land III pay you literally"
Pay ?" says the spider, ''you misera-
pie wretch; you have nothing to pay
with-take that" and he gives him the
last dig, and he is gone cOon-bled to
death.

RUM AND MISERY.

Ex Judge James Ii. Ferguson, OF
Cabell county, recently made an able
Temperance speech in Wheeling. A
mong many excellent paragraphs utter
ed We find the following:
1t takes time 10 drink. II n man
looses but one hour day, and he is
common laborer, that at the end Of ten
years will cost him between s400 aud
$500. If this man is engaged a pro-
ductiye labor, there is also n correspond.
ing loss to the country. II be were to
save his fifteen cents every day, at the
end of ten years he would have 5000 in
bank. Now, i believe, that We make
for ourselves nine hundred and ninety
nine out of every thousand OF the mis-
fortunes we suffer, and nine-tenths of
them arise solely from the habit Of
drinking intoxicating liquors. Why,
when a man looks at it carefully, he
can hardly realize the extent to which
his appetite will take him. If a man
drinks but gill of whisky every day.
he would drink over eleven gallons in q
year If you figure up the value-no /
will not say value, because il would DO
impossible 10 realize the real value Of
health and happiness--it You figure mp
the cash cost Of that gill every day, you
will find that It will cost more than $50
per year. But then, how many stop
at a gill day II may seem incredible
but there are many people who drink
a gallon'per day; persons whose stom-
achs are copper-lined, and they can
drink any quantity Of anything
Laughter We viii suppose, howev-
er. that a man drinks but two gills per
day; in a year he would drink twenty
one gallons, aud ii he drank pint
day he would drink n barrel in n year.
which would cost him about $3.50. But
| think it very doubtful il man can
drink a pint a day aud live ten years.
When n man gets that far he does not
last long.
Then, besides the cash cost, the habit
is just as certain TO destroy his happi-
ness all through life, aud if he gets
married, it Will also destroy the happi'
ness Of his family II also effects the
health of everybody who engages in It
it is poison Ii renders the person
who indulges in it more susceptible to
heat aud cold, OF sickness !, renders
him less able to resist the attack Of any
disease.
This great blight effect not only the
human body aud the industrial and
commercial affairs of the country, but
also the body polite The man who
indulgcs iu the vice Of drinking, is not
tit man to perform the part assigned
him in the government OF the nation.
Why, take it that the man who gets
drunk is not capable Of exercising tho
elective franchise.
