WE md the following paragraph in the
last nlorgantown Pot in regard to the
Sage Of Preston, him who aioretime the
Pot has complimented as the wheel
horse" Of Democracy in that region:
The defeat Of Vim. G. Brown for Leg
gislsiive hOnors is one Of the results Of
the late election II at is not calculated to
bring tears from the eyes Of either party
AS politician "unCle Bill" is completely
played out" Nobody has any conf
dence 10 him.
We rather think the above may be
called timely, although as a matter of re-
proof it comes to Uncle BILLY late in the
DAY; too late to be Of much service to him
or his constituents. Years ago we took
occasion TO express ourselves freely upon
Uncle BILLY as champion trimmer and
dodger, and time has but Strengthened the
sentiments then expressed. ALEX. Il
STEPHENS said in his speech in Congress
last winter that all statesmen were neces.
sarily demagogues 10 certain extent
We recognize tie force Of this remark,
ana a:e inclined TO allow all men who
have to deal with the "inconstant multi
,ute" considerable lee.way. But Uncle
BILLY Brown is all lee way. There is
nothing else TO be written OF him when he
dies save that he was one grand lee-wby.
he vii! go down 10 fame as the man who
while 3 member Of the Virginia Constitu.
tional Convention Of 1850 aud Of the
Congress OF the United States from 1861
up 10 1865, probably lodged more
votes than any member Of either body.
Like BsN WILSON, he was famous
hand for watching how The est was going
20 jlmp. He hiss been watching cats
throughout his political Course. States
men do not make cats their principal
study in life. Occasionally, like good old
NJ ,ses, they speak unto the children Of
Israel to go forward, and put themselves
10 the lead Uncle BILLY Brown would
have made the poorest sort Of Moses
The children Of Israel would have been
tram9!ng around in tho wilderness to this
day II he had been their Moses. JACK
DOWNING said that VAN BUREN's states.
nsnship consisted in the faculty Of lead.
Ing by tho tail hold" 60 far as Uncle
BILLY has any craftsmanship, it is Of
this order. he has had hold OF the
tails OF both the Democracy and the Re-
publicaDS gco1 deal within the last few
years, but 1t was with view Of having
them lead him out Of the woods oil Pres.
ton into office, rather than TO give direction
to either party for the good of the public.
But although Mr., BoTRLER carried Pres,
ton county in the late election, and al
though Uncle BILLY seemed TO have his
usual hold on the Republican tail, the
noble animal refused to do duty this
time, and actually turned tail" on the
venerable aspirsnt in the most uncomp!i.
mentsry manner. We are sorry for this
result, but at the same time, when we
think that 1t will probably result to
Uncle BlLLY's spiritual welfare, we are
reconciled.

Ing iS manufacturing city and her pros
peri!y Is bound up with that Of the great
West. The West Is not buying the
amount Of merchandise this Fall that she
did last year. This is not only tho case as
respects all sorts Of iron manufacture, but
In every other department OF trade. The
tone oil the Eastern papers plainly shows
that sales there to the West have been
light. The great dry goods houses, for
instance, have not done the business this
Fall that they generally expected to do.
This failure to realize expectations has, Of
course, tended to demoralize the feeling 10
business circles generally, and has made
tho banks more stringent in their accom-
modstions to those needing assistance 10

Hence some ugly failures have taken
place recently and no doubt more will FOL.

While this is the situation OF business
as regards Its present status and immedi-
ate prospects, We are firmly convinced
that we are passing through the closing
scenes 0! the panic, and that the day Of
termination draws nigh, BY next spring
the great remedial ordeal OF diminished
production will have done its work
Tho country will be nearer bare in the
way Of stocks Of merchandise than at any
time for many years, This fact together
with lower range Of prices, enabling US
that much easier to keep out foreign i'm
portatioos, will start the upward turn in
trade in the spring on reliable basis,
and give manufacturers ground that
they can stand on for some time to come.

And do unto her melting moments lend

He dresses in black. His clothes are
we'll made and fit him perfectly. His on
ly jewelry consists of plain gold watch,
worth about $500, which he seldom disturbs
from its place in his vest pocket. He
loathes all unnecessary personal adorn-
ments. Three small, plain linen-covered
buttons appear ON his shirt bosom. No
watch chain is visible. He wears a black
beaver hat, which weighs half pound less
than the heavy gray stovepipes, which
fashion ordains shall be worn this summer.
His hair, of a reddish gray, is neatly dress
ed at all times. His beard, which is more
tinted with gray than his hair, is short, and
trimmed regularly, so as to be kept at the
same length all the year round. Where q
cumbersome mustache ought to be, a hair
is never permitted to attain more than a
days growth. He is of slender, though
compact physique. His complexion is
ruddy, and bespeaks the best of health.
He always looks as if he had just left the
toilet table. This man is seventy-four
years of age. In conversation, his keen
blue eyes are never for an instant taken OIL
yours. His face bears the impress of pru-
dence, discretion, self-contidence, calm
ness impossible TO ruffie, and above all OF
honesty and truthfulness. He never speaks
loud enough TO be heard ten steps from
where he stands. Eaves-droppers cannot
catch even the sound of his voice. He
shakes hands with you cordially, nay
even warmly. He is courtesy and polite
ness ITSELF His conversation is always
couched in the refined language of the ed
ucated gentleman. He uses no slang. He
is no teetotaler he drinks only at meal
hours; his fayorite wines are Johannis-
berg, from Prince Metternich's private
vineyard, the like of which is not easily
found In this country; he is fond OF sher-
ry and madeira his wine-cellar contains
probably the choicest collection of wines
In America. This mans wealth Is estlma-
ted at one hundred million dollars, made
by him since 1884, in New York city. He
has no children; he has not single known
relative on the face of the earth. This is
