Editors of the Register.
We are having some fine showers OF
rain. which will bring the oat crop on
Unexpectedly, and will push the corn
crop forward very much. Our farmers
have made considerable hay during the
last week but were caught with consider
able grass down when we were visited
the night of the oath inst with Il severe
wind and hail storm, which did some
damage to the corn crop in this vicinity.
Mcadowville Lodge, @. o. F., on last
Saturday night, conferred the degree OF
Rcbpcca upon several ladies. Their
membership is increasing rapidly.
Five of Mr.. Michelrs children, of
Tucker, died Of petrificd sore throat,
since the first of this month. Two were
buried in the same grave. There are
Others having it very badly.
Henry :. Walker addressed our people
at PhilIippi on the oath inst. Owing to
the busy time of harvesting there was
not general turn out of the people.
Jesse Fitzwater, the "butt end of De-
mocracv of Glade, was the only one
present from this township.
We will have, shortly, county con-
vcntion at Phillippi, for the purpose OF
bringing out II candidate for the Leglsla-
turc, and we would like to see all Demo-
crat, ut their post, to bring out man
that will command the entire vote OF the
Democracy Of old Barbour.
We were delighted to see the REGISTER
come out enlarged and clothed in such
beautiful type; and would be better
pleased if the postmaster at Grafton
would send the Moundsville mail via
Danvillc instead Of Phillippi, which
would bring the REGISTER from Satur-
dav until Tuesday earlier than we usual
" get il. The communications from the
several counties of the State, published
bv the editors of the REGISTER seem to
be- read with great interest by the people,
and add richness to the paper. We be-
licvc that if Others would publish COM
munications n sent to them, and not
'cull' the articles to suit themselves, they
would have more success in their bust
ness.
We were much surprised, and delight
ed too. to hear of Colonel II. II. Lang,
of Baltimore, Maryland, sending
"A wreath of flowers at the late decoration
of the grave of "Stonewall' jackson, as a

ask which is the traitor, the one that
went with his State when she Seceeded
and declared he would sec her free or be
buried beneath her sod, or the man that
fought against her. We believe that the

Curing versus CObbIing.

There are many medicines that give
transient relief in sickness without touch
ing the source and seat of the complaint.

these The great tonic and restorative does
not cobblc the diseased and enfeehled syS-
TEN. tits rot mere palliative, that only
temporarily controls few unpleasant
symptoms. No; its invigoratlng, rcsuiat-
ing. restorative principle penetrates 10 the
very source of the difficulty in the hulds
and solids of the body, and hence its cures
are radical and thorough. ln.dyspepsia II

THE DISASTER.

The day of the 2Sth inst, in Allegheny
city, is described as being one which
will long be remembered. The funerals
of many of the victims of the recent dis
aster took place, and it is said that one
could hardly look down any street with
out beholding solemn train of hearse
and carriages-church and fire bells
tolled in solemn requiem, and the whole
city was immersed in sadness. Fifteen
funerals of men, women and children,
and, in many cases whole families at
once, were celebrated. 1t must indeed
have been a sad and mournful sight.

A SLIM CHANCE.

The Louisville C0oTjer-Jonwrl of
the Goth advises HENRY WARD
BEECHER either to prove an
abb or be id dashed. If
that's the reverend gentleman only
hope, it is much to be feared that all his
chances of doing good in Plymouth
Church for the future will be decidedly
dashed" Ahbfs can frequently be
proven when they ought not to be; but
it is not so easy to do SO when the offence
committed has been allowed to stand for
such length of time. However, Mr..
BEECHER's letters and witnesses may es-
tabliSh much that, at present, the public
is ignorant of. The case looks rather
dark for him just now; but it is hardly
fair to dash him until the worst is known.

CHICAGO AND THE FIRES.

There seems to be perfect mania for
incendiarism in the city of Chicago. On
Sunday night last, one NICHOLAS STAA-
DEN was arrested. having been discover
ed to have laid regular plans for ire
mendous fire which would have enveloped
the north division in flames, and not only
had he prepared rosin, rags saturated
with benzine. and straw, to carry out MS
DESIGNS. but he had made arrangements
to make the Job complete by blowing up
the premises with gunpowder. This is
the sixth time that houses occupied by
him have been fired, so often indeed that
he obtained the name in Chicago of "the
fire Marshal" His last attempt, tortu-
nately, was frustrated, and he was lodged
in Jail.
Another man named OSCAR AMBER
SON also was detected in efforts to COM
NIT arson. and still another case was
found out. in which a man called I.
w. BEuL was arrested on suspicion OF
firing his own house in which was found
burning pile of old garments saturated
with kerosene. These all occurred on
Sunday. Before that time too, regular
" organized attempt was fortunately
discovered and frustrated. Anyone OF
these. had they been successful, would
have probably caused general contis-
Grafton. and we see it stated that i'll addi-
ton to these, on Tuesday fresh
and clear case Of attempted arson
WAS detected. In every instance
the property designed to be fired was
excessively insured. No wonder that
the Insurance Companies have become
frightened and threatened either to with
draw from the city, or raise their rates.
These instances will doubtless make the
CITY authorities unusually watchful, or
they may yet find themselves called upon
to suffer the horrors of another extensive
burning up.

Mr.. BEECHER admits that he may
have been inconsiderate and perhaps IN
discreet. but that was from his impul-
siveness. Its pity that, with all the
teaching he has done, he has not
learned to apply enough of it to himself.
SO as to at least have restrained his youth
full indiscretion. Only see into what a
disagreeable position he has allowed his
impulsive nature to place him. Well, if
he is let off this time, he must be careful
to exercise more prudence in the future.

THE ADDICTION CASES.

The perpetrators Of the terrible crime
of the stealing of the little Ross child, in
Philadelphia having so far succeeded in
eludiug the efforts of the detectives, and
escaping arrest, have set an injurious en-
ample. and one which has been followed
in other instances. OF course no species
of outrage could exist, that would not meet
with persons in the city of New York
ready and anxious to commit it, aud We
see from late files of the Heroid that on
last Saturday afternoon woman i'll the
disguise of beggar applied at certain
house for aims, and endeavored to make
away with little child three
years old. Fortunately she was over
taken and caught, and is now in prison,
where it is devoutly to be hoped the
Philadelphia ruttians will also eventually
wind up.
There is nothing in the calendar of
crime which can bear comparison to such
an one as this. Were child to be muir
dered. there would at least be found a
melancholy satisfaction in knowing to II
certainty its fate, and human nature
would. after the first outbreak of grief,
be consoled by accepting the inevitable;
but when there is no knowledge of what
is the little ones condition, whether alive
or dead. or if alive under what barbarouS
treatment it may be living, or whether
there is not being sown in its young
mind the seeds of future life which
will be- tar worse than death, it Is indeed
hard thing to bear, and great must be
the mental anguish ofthoSc to whom this
suffering is the portion.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that those
guilty ones who may be caught and con-
yicted shall suffer penalties of the utmost
rigor. and if death is the lot of those
who commit simply murder, what
shall be mcted out to criminals who make
such heartleSs warfare upon the tcndereSt
sentiments af society,

THE Cincinnati Commercial does not
believe in the boaStings of the economy Of
the Congress of 1874, which the organs
of the administration have been indulg-
ing in for some time past, and very pro
perlv gives It's reasons, in substance u
follows: That the expenditures of the
fiscal years 1913, will not turn out to
be less than the two hundred and ninety
million of dollars expended in 1884;
that eight million ofdollars appropriated
for building palatial custom houses and
poStotiiCcS was not Il necessity; that the
deficiency appropriations for the Indian
service amount to one million, four hum
dred and fifty thousand dollars, and this
without any honest reason being given;
that eight million of dollars was appro-
priated to carry on an experiment which
probably will be unsuccessful, viz: to
build ship canal over route not yet
surveyed, at the mouth of the Mississippi
river: that $4,000 for statue of General
GREENE; $4,000 for statue Of General
FARRAGUr; and $4,000 for a new picture
in the capital, have been appropriated
unwisely in the present state of the
country; that more private bills have
been enacted than during any
former session of Congress, and 100000
have been given to private and sectarian
institutions in Washington; that $780,,
600 have been given to the relief of sut-
ferers by the overflow of the Mississippi
River. which. however, praiseworthy
may have been the object, was manifest
" outside the jurisdiction of Congress;
that sSO7,9S0 was appropriated to the
Department of Agriculture against Sl42,-
$50 last year; that over 100000 have
been given to cover up expenditures in
all departments of the public service,
which were, in many cases, of illegal
nature, and that SO, 952, 900 have been APP
propriated for the expenses of the De-

The White Men in the South Sea
Islands.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle SAYS: "H a white man is
tired of civilization and wishes to lay
off, then he can come TO the sOuth seas
and find some romantic little nook
where, under the bread-fruit trees, amid
cOcoanut groves and banana forests, he
can loll to his hearts content. But
such a man must have lost his grip, lost
all hopes, and come to the @ Inclusion
that he j. weak and imbecile creature,
unable to war with the great seething
caldron called civilization. / find such
white men on the islands of these seas,
but what wrecks they are Utterly
lost, they lead an aimless life, and veg
etate rather than live. They are most
miserable specimens of the great Euro
pean races which have conquered and
civilized this earth. As compared with
the natives of the south seas they are
inferior-mentally, morally, and physi-
cally. When white man goes to wreck
here the wreck Is so complete that there
is nothing left of it but mere shadow.
Many are the desolate, broken hearts of
this character to be found floating
around these islands. A picture com
pletely the reverse Is to be seen in occa
rional yachts which visit these waters.
Their owners and guests are moneyed
men. They see the brighs side of life
they are fondled and feasted but they
get false ideas of the actual state of af-
fairs. After enjoying themselves, living
Ike princes, and making love In the Don
Juaa school until they are surfeited
with delight, they then return and write
impassioned books about life IN the
SOath Sea islands"

Doctors in Russia. .

A night medical service has Just been
organized at st. Petersburg by the med
ical men of that city; an arrangement
which meets real want OF the public
of the Russian capital, who, however,
had hitherto not taken the necessary
steps TO provide it. Russian medical
legislation does not allow liberty OF
work to medical men, who, when re-
quired either by sick person or any
one believing himself to be i'll, are not
permitted to refuse help. Thephysician,
surgeon, accoucheur, midwife OF assist
ant who would either refuse to act when
called on or neglect to do so is punished
by fine, on the first occasion of from
five to ten roubles Q8s. Sd. to 35s) on
the second occasion of from ten to fif-
teen, and the third time from 80 to 100
roubles while the physicians and sur
geons who are in government employ
may be deprived of their Office. These
laws are sanctioned by usage, and no
later than this year two Russian phYsi-
clans were tried for an infraction of this
law, and one of them condemned for
having refused to afford assistance to ar
invalid during the night. The Courier
Medical Russo, whence we obtained our
information, insists on the necessity of
abolishing these coercive measures d1-
rected against medical men the more
SO that at the present time everything
relating to the public health in Russia
is regulated by municipalities in cities,
and by the territorial, cantonal and de-
partmental councils in the provinces.
The same journal also urges that in
England custom no longer sanctions CO
Ell Give laws directed against medical
men, while in Prussia they we're erased
from the statute-book in 1869.
