IT is mainly with national affairs that
the people Of West Virginia have to do
in the present political campaign. The
election Of three members of the House
of Representatives and one Senator of the
United States is to be determined by the
voters in this State next Tuesday. The
verdict of the people is to be passed up
on the conduct of the Federal admins
tration and the deeds of the Republican
party. The frauds, the swindles, the
outrages which have been perpetrated by
the trusted agents ofthe Radical party,
and whose recital has filled the daily
chronicles during several years past, are
all to be reviewed, and it Is
for the voters now to say whether they
are willing to have these things continue
unrcbuked. or whether. by the election
of better men of different political
faith, they wish to see Il better policy i'll
auauratcd. Vote for Colonel WILSON
for Congress and for the Democratic
ticket for members of the State LcgISla-
turc.

never been satisfactorily explained. Per-
haps General Corr, VIII" knows 50 little
about national affairs and 50 much about

this. What "r-r-r-ring' absorbed the

CONGRESS does most Of lt> mischief N
its second session. During the first part
oftheir term the members are intriguing
for reelection ana to put their party IN
proper trim for the next cleo
ton; but at the next session, after
the elections have been held snd the
COMPLEXION of the national assembly
has been fixed for two wears I" come
the villainy comes out and finds shsr"
in legislation.
SO twill probably be with the pres
ent Congress. The session IL COM
mence next December is more 10 he
dreaded by the people than that Which
is past. The Civil Rights Bill was de
fso,ed in the House at the last session
merely because It's effect upon the cleo
lions 10 be held this fall was dreaded
by the party i'll power. If these cleo
tions are passed successfully; II kerubii-
can representatives are chosen; II II" re-
buke is administered to the Republican
party at the polls; the Civil Rights Bill
will become law long before the pres
snt candidates for election TO Congress
can be admitted TO seats. The pres
ent Congress will pass the bill al It's
session next winter, and all its iniquities
will be fastened upon us.
To avert this consequence the only re-
source now left is 10 carry the elections
this fall in opposition TO the Radical
marty Not a single vote can he spared
Ind no local issue or private prejudice |
should stand in the way of this important
end Let us rally n one man to The .
support of the Democratic nominee Tor
Congress, and brand him as iaithieSs !" MS
nr;neiples and to white mems rights
Who fslters or holds back. The battle Tor
white supremacy is now to be won or
lost.

A Blind Kings Homage to the Beauti-
full.

The blind King of Hanover has re-
turned to Paris to have another look at
the art treasures of the city, for al
though an indefatigable sight-seer when
there year ago, he could not get
through all there was to be seen. This
may seem an odd way of speaking of a
blind man, but there is not much ex-
aggeration about it. King George sees
with the eyes of his daughter, who has
a faculty possessed by few. With her
father upon her arm, she enters mu-
scum or any public place and begins a
conversation in a low, running voice,
giving in few words a general idea of
the room and of the people in it, then
going into details as they go on. The
King enters like man with good eyes,
and, when on his daughters arm, never
fails to return the salutes addressed to
him from whatever direction they may
come. 1t is evident, therefore, that
there is some system of telegraph
known to the two, and from long habit
the King has become so expert that he
rarely makes a mistake. At soiree he
is led up to the host or hostess, bows at
the right moment, and goes through the
ceremony with all the ease of man
who can see. He even pays most unex-
pected compliments, when the daugh-
ter, without saying word, telegraphs
that young lady is young and beauti-
full and when surprise is expressed
King George CALAMITY replies that he
sees with his soul. When 1 saw him at
the Louvre l longed for an opportunity
to hear what the Princess said as they
went from picture to picture, the King
looking intently upon the wall, but
could hear nothing but low hum too
indistinct to be comprehended by ears
less attentive than those of her father.
Her language cannot be understood by
others, even when not spoken with the
usual rapidity. 1t is very touching to
see the love and devotion of this young
Princess.

VanQuished by n Cat.

Mr.. Stebbins Peer, the funambulist
or rope-walker, who has cable stretch
ed across the Niagara river, just below
the new suspension bridge, and gives
exhibitions of his skill in rope-walking,
came near meeting with an accident the
other day, which, but for his agility,
would undoubtedly have ended his ca
reer as a rope walker. He conceived
the brilliant idea of taking cat on the
rope, and starting it on ahead OF him,
in order to have two sensations at the
same time. When about thirty feet
from the shore he set the cat on the
rope, expecting, of course, that the
feline would show how the thing was
done as well as he could do IL himself.
But the cat was not at all anxious for
funambulism, and, instead OF making
Decline across, turned upon Peer,
climbed upon him, and fastened his
teeth in his shoulder. In his efforts TO
disengage the cat he missed his footing,
and had to drop his balance-pole, which
fell on the rocks below, and was broken.
Peer himself scrambled along the rope
back to the shore the best way he could.
He succeeded in reaching terra trina,
but the exhibition of the day was
brought to a close, as q funambulist
without balance-pole is OF little &C
count. The pole was subsequently re-
covered and spliced. Peer will walk
again, but will not be likely to take a
cat along. (Cdn.) Wing.

A Test of Human Nature
withdrew.

One day two men in Xenia were en-
gagged in a discussion as to Beecher's
guilt or innocence. From this our de-
baters branched off upon the subject eff
human nature in general, its foibles,
weaknesses, and instability under cru
cial tests /; and, growing earnest, one
offered to bet that there were not
dozen men in that city who would stand
certain test which he specified. The
wager was accepted, twelve representa-
tive male citizens designated, and to
each dainty note, written in feminine
hand, couched in seductive but yet pol
ished terms, was sent as coming from a
lady. The missive stated that the writer
had seen the gentleman addressed, been
impressed by his bearing and appear
ance, and was most anxious, etc., ac-
cording to the usual style. The writer
would be glad to meet Mr.. Vanity at
such and such a point at such time.
The notes were duly sent, and the con-
spirators anxiously awaited the result
of the affair. Much to the chagrin of
the gentleman who accepted the wager
and the triumph of the other, every one
of the men to whom notes were sent,
married and single, old and young, ap-
peared at the proper point and at the
exact time named.-SprinQJfe{d (Ohio)

Ancient People of Colorado.

Tradition has it that once in the CEN
turtles gone by there lived people in
comfort, elegance, and reasonably
high state of civilization-the loyal
Aztecs. Cortez came, the Montezuma
called, their religion and their govern
ment were in peril, and, leaving home
and comfort and country, these true
lieges of sovereign whose throne
rested on the centuries, went down to
the City of Mexico to fight for their
traditions and flag and faith-fought
and lost and died. Certain it is, that
little south of this immediate spot in
Pueblo county, there are traces of q
civilization and of substantial opulence,
Of which the very tradition has passed
away here, and which is neither Span
ish nor Indian. Certain it is, that
while the Indian, awed by the visible
manifestations of the hand of God,
came here to worship on state occa-
sions, they did not use it as one of
their permanent hunting grounds or
winter abodes. For centuries it seems
hardly to have known the face of man
as a dweller; and now, at flash, it is
open to all the world, and the silence
of ages is broken by all the confused
orchestra of modern life, the scream of
the locomotive, the busy hum of in
dustries, the whirl of machinery, the
sounds of the gong and revelry, the
crack of the rifle, the voice of prayer
and praise, the music of children's
voices, and the quiet rhythm of happy
homes. -PhrenOlOgi0aI Journal.

Western Coal.

The st. Louis Republican says "On
both sides of the Mississippi, from
Cairo up to point not yet ascertained,
the coal-felds stretch out in almost
illimitable productiveness indeed, it is
questionable whether we are richer in
metal or carbon. The one is indispens-
able to the other, and our wealth in
both is boundless. England has the
one, but she has worn out her supply of
the other, and she must either purchase
her coal or suffer her iron trade to leave
her. In either event our coal-felds in
brief time will make us masters of
the field, and the red fires of the future
Birminghams and Sheffields will dot the
river banks from this to the mouth.
There is another feature which connects
itself with this directly, and that is.
England may buy her coal of the West.
1t is not wild idea to conceive that
when the West shall procure an appro-
priation for an improvement of the river
which floats by us to the sea. that En-
glish ships may land their cargoes at
the port of st. Louis and take back coal
in ballast. While our vast mineral
wealth will conduce to the development
of our greatness as nation, the impor
lance of our boundless supply of coal
should not be underestimated or under
valued"

The Bismarck-Von Arnim case is being
gradually unraveled to the German public and
the world. Won Arpim still remains in
prison, the reason for his confinement being
that he refuses to give up letters which he re-
ceived, while Ambassador at Paris, from Bis
movsl from the position of Ambassador to
Paris, an Office which he lost on
account Of pro-Catholic correspond
ence with DIR. Dollinger, he retired
to his estate at Nassenheid as de-
termined to prepare his statement as an
American would be under similar circum
stances. Bismarck, suspecting that his conf
figure unpleasantly for him in the retired
Ambassadors statement, Immediately seized
upon tho person of the offending subject in
order to secure the tell-tale letters. They
were not yielded then, neither have they been
since. Bismarck still holds his victim by vir-
tue Of superior power only, and as Won Arnim
is doubtless strong willed man, the result Of
the contest cannot be easily determined.
