Protected Railroads In this Re-

tending from Martins Ferry to Toledo

A Narrow-Gauge road from Niles via

A road continuing thcTuscarawas Val

A Narrow-Gaugc road called the Bel
laire 4 South Western road, from Bel

A road from some point on the Ohio
river opposite Portland, via Bethany, to
Washington, Pa.
A Narrow.Guage road from Washing

The charter for this road is already OBJ
tained.
A Narrow.Gaugc road from ClOrksburg,
West Va, to Weston, Lewis county has
already voted $4,000 for this road.
A ,Narrow.Guage road from Grafton
via Philippi and Beverly, through lo-
cuhontas county, to White SnIpher
Springs. The route has been surveyed
rs far US Philippi.
The number of these projected roads
does not indicate any abatement in the
railroad fever so far as this region Of
contry Is concerned. Indeed II Is safe TO
say that at no time since the era OF rail-
roads fairly sci in, has the popular feel
ing in the scope Of country for hundred
miles around Wheeling been so thorough
" aroused in favor Of local roads rs now.
This feeling is attributable to the demon
slrated superior capacity and economy Of
narrow.gaugc roads, which are coming
moro and more into adoption in hilIy
countries. The advantages bothin build
ing and working narrOw.guage roads are
30 decided that there is II general in
clination to Introduce them as feeders TO
the standard track main lines.
We have taken great interest in no
ticing the progress Of the various pro-
iected lines alluded to above. We are
very anxious to see them become actual
enterprises. Our own State, even more
than our neighbors on either side OF us,
needs these improvements. 1t wiIlm make
all the difference in the world to West
Virginia within the next ten years
whether or not her people introduce these
narrow-gunge local roads. The differ.
erence in the material development oI
the State will be nCalculable.

The steubenville papers have been
endeavoring to persuade their readers
that a Sl5OOOO bridge across the river
at that point would pay, when the gross
receipts Of their ferry are less than So
900. Their arguments look too thin, and
we do not expect to seea bridge for some
time yet.
The thing for SteubenviIle to do is to
engage heartily in the project Of making
that vicinity the headquarters for the
transfer OF Youghiogheny coal from II
railroad across the Panhandle to barges
in the river opposite that city. Accord
ing to the WcIIsburg Herald, Mr.. Nat.
Wells and others are agitating that pro.
jcct now. The plan is to build an incline
on large scale on the West Virginia

Nature is industrious in adorn-
ing her doniniops, and man, to
whom this beauty is addressed,
should feel and obey the lesson.
Let him, too, be industrious in
adjoining his domain-in making
his home, the dwelling of his wife
and children, not only convenient
and comfortable, bat pleasant.
Let him, as far as circumstances
will admit be industrious in sur
rounding it with pleasant objects,
in decorating il within and With
out with things that tend to make
it agreeable and attractive, Let
industry make home the abode Of
neatness and orders place which
brings satisfaction to every in
mate, and which in absence draws
back the heart by the fond associ-
ations of comfort and content.
Let this done, and this sacred
spot will become more surely the
scene Of cheerfuIness and peace.
Ye parents who would have your
children happy, be industrious to
bring them up IN the. miastof a
pleasant, a cheerful and a happy
home. Waste not your time in
sccun6latiug wealth 0for them;
but plant in their minds and souls,
in the way proposed, the seeds Of
virtue and prosperity. 1

Smiling sweetly as they go,

Some years before the war, a
woman engaged asa scrubber in
New York, married a mechanic
named Thompson. Both worked
hard, and in time the mechanic
became a contractor, and finally
took the job of building the mar
BILE palace OLA. T. Stewart. The
war came, prices advanced, the
contract ruined the contractor, and
be died insane. His wife who,
from a scrub woman had become
possessed of her carriage, and had
her servants in livery at command,
found herself dependent upon her
own exertions once more; and it
came to pass that last week Mayor
Wickham re engaged her services
as a scrub woman for the city Of
fees.

We clip the following from the
San Francisco Daily Chronicle Of
the goth alt: @The funeral of Mrs.
Senator Sharon yesterday, was the
most imposing ever seen in San
Francisco.e The gloomy pageant
was as tastefully magnificent s.
the strong affections of relatives,
aided by great wealth could make
it. The gorgeous drawirg-rooms
that only a few months ago were
ablaze With lights and jewels Of
one Of the most splendid weddings
Of the time, saw yesterday a sad.
der sight. The remains inclosed
in an elegant Barstow casket,
trimmed with solid silver, were
laid in state in the back drawing
room. The casket rested upon a
catafalque raised from the floor by
a dais. The columns supporting
the arches Of the room were trim
med with smilax. The floral or
namentation was extremely elabo-
rate and costly. On marble Ia
bic at the foot of the coffin was q
standing crown made-of rare white
flowers. A palm ornamented the
corners of the dais.- A marble Ia
Bile at the head was covered with
a mass Of hand boquets Of white
roses and blossoms. On the lower
step Of the dais, were three crosses
of white flowers, elaborately made
and leaning in different directions.
Just above were fat boquets on
ground of delicate ferns. On .
semicircular platform at the head
Of the casket was an exquisite
wreath, having heart on one side
and star on the other. On each
side Of the coffin were two elegant
antique vases, each containing a
basket Of flowers. a long gar
land Of ferns handsomely festooued
a star in each festoon, encircled
the catafalque and dais. A pure
white dove was suspended imme-
diately above the coffin. All the
ornaments were Of the costliest
flowers, cameEas, cape jasmins and
gypsophila were intsrmixed with
roses, candytuft, heliotrapss, and
all beautiful flowers whose color
made them appropriate
A crowd so filed the house that
ingress and egrsss were almost
impossible. Among those present
we're several Sisters Of the Sacred
Heart and several Of the Domini-
can Brothers, to which a brother
Of Mrs. Sharon belonged. The re-

LETTER FROM SANTA MONICA.
Growing PephiattOn-A Sound Demo.
cratic Town.

EDITOR HERALD: Reading your
paper I noticed that nearly all the
towns in the county have been heard
from, and thought possibly that a
word from our new but growing place
would not be amiss.
Santa Monica has sprung up as if by
enchantment, and every day is adding
to her population and Improvements,
not drawing her people from other por-
tions of the county, but from abroad.
Nearly all are strangers who have
come here with means to establish
themselves and make homes.
Politically, Santa Monica is Demo-
cratic. The Express in its statements
that seven-tenths of the newcomers
to the county are in sympathy with
the Republican Independent move
movement in this county, is far from
the truth, if we may judge by the
political complexion of this place. At
least eignt-tenths of our population
are newcomers, and nearly all are not
only Democrats but true to their po-
litical faith, and on the first day of
September will give Santa Monica a
Democratic baptism. The Express
must not suppose that the majority of
the people who have come here in the
last two years are renegade Democrats
and radical Republicans, but Demo-
Gratis who are as true and devoted to
their principles now as they ever were,
and will teach those old resident Dem
ocrats who have fallen from grace and
been made the tools of their enemies,
that inside their party organization is
the place to correct real or imaginary
wrongs. DEMOCRAT.

The Turner Picnic.

On Sunday Washington Garden was
the great attraction for the pleasure
seeker. Whether it was the charita-
BILE object, the genial weather or the
elegant garden that was the attraction
the crowd was there and the enjoy
ment was general. The street cars and
other vehicles were crowded during
the entire day by a multitude of our
best ladies and gentlemen. Piepen-
berg's band discoursed excellent music
and the dance was continued with un-
tagging zeal until q late hour. We
are pleased to learn that everything
passed off agreeably and the Turn
Verein realized large sum for the
benefit of the hospital fund.
