filled with the richest of mineral depos-
its. vast forests of timber, immense beds
of ore and large fields of coal. Indeed
it can be said without being exposed to
the charge of Boosting, the commonwealth
of West Virginia Is land equal IN all
respects to any country in the vast uni
verse. Our natural deposits are as great
as those of any other State, our skies as
as balmy and bright, our lands are as
broad and rich, our men are as wise and
brave and our women as chaste and beau
tiful. Happy in the possession OF such
country, let US labor to fill up the waste
places and TO make her forests brighten
and blossom US the rose. furthermore let
us hope that no clouds may ever again
lower ever our land, and if in the course
of time they do that there may always
be found among her sons some Franklin
with power to extract the lurid lightning
and lay it harmless ut his feet.
This being ended, cries were made for
addresses by different persons, but they
were not acceded to, until finally, after
repeated calls for Governor Jacob, that
gentleman responded, abiding to the I'M
happy division which the Capital re-
moval had at one time threatened be-
tween our brothers OF the hanawha val
ley and the rest of the State. But he
said that the struggle was now over, and
he hoped all bad feeling had passed
away, and that the citizens
Of Wheeling and those on the hanawha
would forget their differences, ana meet
rs brothers. lie expressed himself Tor
some time IN this strain; his speech
was we'll received by the assembIage, and
he was heartily cheered at It's conclusion
Then the band dlScouroed more excel

our people, and will for bright one in
the annals Of Wheelings history. She
has now given substantial proof
OF carrying out her pledges to furnish II

ing it over the day before, when she had
heard some one approaching, and thrust it
hastily into her pocket, where it had remained
ever since. Had she left it in her room down
stairs, her only hope of commu' Cation with
the outer world would have been destroyed ;
and besides, had it fallen into Mrs. Brod.
erick's hand, it would probably have proved
the cause of her being treated with additional
rigor.
At dinner time the door was opened, and
Mrs. Broderick entered the room with aplate
of food and pitcher of water in her hand.
II don't want to starve you" she said as she
placed them on the bed, the only available
spot except the floor, $50 l have brought your
dinner How do you like your room ?"
To this insulting inquiry Alice vouchsated
nc reply, and with sarcastic smile Mrs.
Broderick withdrew. The poor girl ate few
mouthfuls of the dinner which had been
brought her, and took copious draught Of
the water; after which she threw herself upon
her hard bed, and pulling the covering over
her, dressed as she was, fell, after time, into
an uneasy sleep.
From this she did not wake until midnight,
when she started up oppressed with sudden
and startling feeling Of dread. The moon
shone into the room, casting ghastly light
over the bare walls. A creaking, groaning
sound, horrible to listen to, fell on Alice's
ears. 1t was only the old tree outside, whose
long arm swayed to and fro with a beckoning
motion close to the window; but it chilled
her very blood with terror, and unable to
bring reason to her aid to investigate the
cause, she covered down again upon her pill
low, drawing the covering up over her head
to shut out all sight and sound. Thus passed
the rest of the miserable night, for sleep was
efectually banished from her eyes and never
did mortal breathe more fervent thanksgiv.
ing than she, when at last the first pale rays
of the morning light appeared.

The Power OF Dry SAND.-According to
Beaudemoulin, if quantity of dry sand be
placed in box of thin sheet iron, or even in
a canvas bag, and subjected to slight COM
preston, it forms a mass capable of resisting
pressure of sixty tons, without breaking or
even straining the envelope. The sand, how
ever, remains perfectly divisible, so that if a
small hole be made in the box or bag it will
flow slowly, and with so little force that even
small piece of paper pasted over the open
ing will check the flow, even with the sixty
tons weight upon it. M. Beaudemoulin thinks
this discovery may be utilized for building
purposes, since the filled boxes need merely be
held in place by framework; while being
very thick, they would form a protection for
dwellings against variations of temperature.
Such walls, moreover, would be 6re-proof 1t
is also suggested that for lowering heavy build
ings, or even entire buildings, which by
change of street levels, have been left too
high above the roadway, the sand.bags could
be placed beneath, and their contents allowed
gradually to escape, thus letting the load
slowly settle down. I

RUNNING FOR OFFIcE-I never ran for
Office but once. At the earnest solicitations
of some of my friends, in an unguarded mo.
ment, I allowed myself to be asaounced as
candidate for the office of Justice ofthe Peace.
Previous to this fool move, 1 had been con.
sidered decent kind of man; but the next
day, when the Bugle came out, it was filled
with accounts of my previous history that
would have curdled the blood ola Digger In

formed that I was not 6t for the Office, that /
was almost fool, besides had come West
under very suspicious circumstances I had
starved my deaf old grandmother to death
and then sold her remains to soap factory.
l had stolen hand organ from poor blind
cripple and run away with the proceeds. I
had sold my grandfather's coffin for fourteen
dollars, and buried the old gent in boot box.
In utter despair, rushed around to head
quarters, withdrew my name and swore SOL
emn swear that would never indulge in poll
tics again. And I never will.-John gull.

A good looking servant girl of Winnipeg
(says the Toronto Globe) had three beaux to
her string, viz: military man, policeman,
and an ordinary white man. She had ar
ranged matters so that separate evenings were
set aside for each of the ardent young suitors
and three different courses of love ran quite
smoothly. One unucky evening, however,
all three suitors CHANGED to drop in one after
another An interval of very desultory cou-
yersaton and embarrassing pauses was termi-
mated by the pattering of a female foot on the
stairs. 'llere's missis, exclaimed the girl,
and the three gentlemen bolted into three sew

be well. But the missis' happened to want
something in the room where the ordinary

Homeward Bound.

Succeeding the surrender at Appomaltox,
many Southern families sought refuge in
Mexico and the different countries OF South
America This was done in the hope of re-
gaining fortunes which had disappeared dur
ing the vicissitudes of war Some of them,
perhaps, left the country in the belief that
there was no hope for Improvement in the
ahject condition of the Southern States.
They were unwilling to remain rs witnesses OF
the ruin and sorrow which had been brought
upon the sunny South. Many who went to
Mexico, aud even farther, have long since
returned to their homes. And some families
that were attracted 10 Brazil and Venezuela
by expectations of prosperity which were
never realized, gradually found their way
back TO this country with bitter experience of
life beyond the Caribbean Sea. But not a few
of those who went TO South America, not
having the means for returning, are still there
and in the main are living in destiuion and
misery. Application has been made by them
to the representatives OF our Government for
relief, but those officers were not authorized
by law to extend any aid 20 the applicants.
Notice of the unfortunate condition of these
people has since been brought 10 the State
Department, and as result the Navy De
paftment has fitted out the United States
corvette Swainra for The purpose Of a trip to
the various South American ports to offer
free passage 10 all American citizens in dis
tress and desirons Of returning home The
Swatara sailed from New York few days
since, and expects 10 make the round trip in
about one hundred days On her return the
panssengers will be discharged at Port Royal
South Carolina, and it is hoped that priyat,
measures will be instituted TO supply th,
urgent wants of these wanderers from HON,
and kindred .-BaHo Gazette.
