WEST VIRGINIA LEGISLATURE
SATURDAY, December 4th.
SEN


The Senate was opened with prayer
by Rev. j. 7. Mcclure. Of the United
PRESBYTERIAN church.
a communication wac received from
the Governor, enclosing letter from
Gov. Kemper, of Virginia, and one
from the Board of Public Works Of that
State, in relation to the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company. 1t is stated
that there is movement on foot by CT
tain creditors OF this road to tOreclosc
mortgages held on it and sell the same;
and that it is now in the hands OF Re.
celver. The inquiry Is made, whether
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany has not, in part, forfeited its char
ter and franchises to the States OF Nlr-
ginia and West Virginia, from the fact
Inat the Company has not completed its
I road to the mouth of the Big Sandy river,
AS required by law. The Governor,
among other Things, recommends that
the Legislature repeal the provision OF
the law exempting the property of that
company from taxation until the net
profits o. the company shall reach ten
per cent. annually, from the
fact that the law is unconstitutional;
and 1t should no longer remain upon the
statutes of the State to embarrass the
offices whose duty it is to collect the
taxes. Laid on the table.

THE 1NUNDATl0N or THE, SAHARA.

:. Mr.. G: Henry Kinahan. of the, Geo,oe.
<ical Survey of Ireland, writes: ."rhe
projectors of the inundation Of the
Sahara seem only to look at the question
from an African point Of view, while they
quite ignore the:future results to Europe.
1t IS we'll known that the south winds
from Africa have material effect on the
snow and ice Of South Europe, and in
those years that there is continual ton Of
winds from this quarter the snow.line is
ra'sed' while; the glaciers retreat further
up the valleys than ordinary. From this
1t appears probable, as had been suggest
ed byi an eminent gcologist, that the re-.
treat Of the ice md snow into the h:rter
portions of the European mountains fol.
lowed the drying.up Of the sea that once
occupied the Sahara desert: the hot
winds generated on the large :cxpance Of
sand' thus exposed: have altogether
changed the climate Of Europe IF Tia
suggestion above mentioned is correct -
would appear that the inundation of the
sahara. .if practicable, would affect mt
only Africa, but also Europe. It should
therefore be inquired would the climate
Of South Europe be 50 gradually changed

A KENTUCKY BRIDAL TOUR.
From the Courier-Iournal.l


There came one day to little inland
town in Kentucky a young rural couple
who. had just been bound by the ''silken
bonds. Their destination was the de-.
pot: and the bridegroom was evidently
quite impatient for fear the train should
arrive before he could reach the office.
Buying one ticket, they stood on the
platform until the train had stopped.
When they entered the car the bridegroom
found his br de seat, kissed her s.good-
Bye and going out, seated himself on a
box and commenced whiting most Wig
orously. He waite he'd the train out Of
sight, regret depicted on his face, when a
bystander, thinking the whole proceed
ings rather strange resolved to interview
him. Approaching him carelcss)y, and
chewing a straw to keep up his courage,
he said: So.
''Been gettin' married latcly?"
''Yes. said he, tine and Sallie got
sp|iced this mornin'.''

LONGEVITY OF THE SEXES.

AOAvUH - Ut l1E OEdEO.
Several articles have recently appeared
in print respecting the relative longevity
Of the sexes, but none of them has, in my
opinion, stated the facts Of the case:
- An extensive obseryati on will teach us
that from the time Of birth till ten or
twelve years Of age girls are usually more
strong and robust than boys; less liable
to disease and DEATH. From the age oil
puberty to that of forty five or! fifty
years, women are more likely to die than
men. This is doubtless owing to the ar.
tificial, unhealthy life they lead, together
with the inordinatc sexual demands too
frequently made BY husbands and the
enormous labor Of bearing and caring for
numerous progency. Therefore you
will find that 4 man often buries two or
three wives. M ~
: But if woman survives till she is
fifty, she is more likely to live to eighty
or ninety years even, than man. He,
strong and vigorous, at fifty.fye, soon
after begins to feel the infirmities Of old
age, and in another decade will have been
carried off by apoplexy, paralysis or some
prevailing disease; while his wife seems,
if not to have renewed her youth, yet to
have been endowed with I new and pecu-
liar power and beauty. She is blessed
with the experience, of an Indian summer
in life, whose soft and gentle charms cor
respond with the balmy, hazy atmos-
phere Of our glorious autumn. In former
days the thousand and one petty indus.
tries of woman's life were sufficient to
Keep her amused and Interested, even
when unable to perform active labor: L
have known old women who l believe
prolonged their lives eight or ten years,
by knitting. One told me she had knit
forty pair of stockings, large and small.
in one year, and her dim eyes glistened
as she exulted in the fact that, though
eighty.six years old, she was still useful.
Another, after becoming so imbecile that
she could not even knit correctly, was in:
dulged by her daughter with the werk,
and persuaded that she was making rapid
with it, although this progress
was effected by the daughter, who took
up the stitches she had dropped, and knit
upon it while she was asleep.
