ligion. He got no soup on board ship,
and as soon as he landed he made for
restaurant, and asked for soup, but got
none. He spent the whole day in run
ming from restaurant to restaurant en-
quiring for soup, the dish Of all dishes
to a Frcnchman, but found none, and
in his course he was struck with the
great number of Churches bearing dit
ferent names, to-wit: Presbyterian,
old and new school-Baptist, hard and
soft, Methodist, Universalist, Congre-
eationalist, Lutheran, Independent
Church. Cambelites, Quaker, Orthodox,
Hixite, Menonnite, Episcopalian
high Mormon, NJ Millerite,
and broad, observation-disclosures,
(Cummins,) Israelite, Dutch Reformed,
&c, &c, and after enquiring at as many
restaurants for his faYorite dish as he
had seen Churches, he cried out as only
Frenchman can in state Of chagrin
and despair, "Mon dieu, my God !
what a country 4 thousand Churches
and not one soup!' This is pertinent
enquiry too-what ails the Church !
Let us have light Now as to the
County Court. will give you an an
other anecdote and close this already too
long communication.
In Pennsylvania town there was
Dutch Mayor-both pondsrous and ro-
6usierous, and one morning four young
men were brought before his honor for
getting drunk and "vexing with mirth
the drowsy ear of night" Veil, asks
the intelligent, discriminating, wise and
disinieresisd Mayor, stand up Peter

lets go and git some ale.
Why don't men in authority recur to
fundamental principles now and then
In representative country like ours a
magistrate, high or low, ought to read
daily his Bible and the Bill Of Rights
of Virginia, written by the great grand
father of our worthy representative in
the Legislature, especially the 2nd and
5th clauses of that great charter Of lib
erty, and free institutions. What right
sir, has magistrate with the arrogance
of master instead of the humility Of a
servant, to say to me you shant drink
brandy, wine or whisky, but you may
drink ale and other slops. You can't
make Dutchmen out of the descendants
of the Scotch Irish.
Respectfully yours,

LYNcnING IN IowA.-At an early
hour last Tuesday morning body Of
about $50 men, disguised, entered the
Jail at Des Moines, Iowa, knocked down
the jailer, bound him hand and foot,
took the keys to the cells from hispock-
ct, overpowered the guard, and entered
the cell where Chas. Howard, the muir
derer of Johnson. who was the day be-
fore sentenced to imprisonment for life
was confined. Howard's wife, who was
sleeping with him, clung to him, utter
ing horrible shrieks, and it was all that
half dozen men could do to drag him
from his bed. A rope was then placed
about his neck, and he was dragged
through the halls and court house yard
to lamp post and hung. All the men
had their faces olackened, and were di-
vided into squads, each doing its allot-
ted work without a word being spoken.
After Howard had been fastened to the
post the mob dispersed as silently as they
came. 1t is supposed the work was
done by members of the vigilance COM
mittee in that county.

Poss,pI.E MlGurrEsr MECHANICAL
DIscovERr EVER MADE-John W.
Keeley's new motor, of which we some
time ago gavs brief account, is being
put in train for practical operations IN
Philadelphia. Nothing is known about
the nature of this motive power, except
what the inventor chooses to reveal.
He declares that with two gallons OF
water he can generate force enough to
draw train OF cars from Philadelphia
to San Francisco and back again. He
uses no fuel, neither does he employ
chemicals of any kind, or electricity, or
magnetic currents 1t is supposed that
the force must be obtained by the rapid
decomposition of water into its constit-
uent gases, but he denies, as above
stated, using any of the customary
methods for reaching that result. In
the machine he Is now constructing, he
developed, he asserts, pressure Of
1000 pounds to the square incl; and
when il is remembered that the pressure
to which steam boilers are subjected is
seldom more than 200 pounds to the
square inch. the enormous leap Mr..
Keeley claims 10 make with his new
motor may be partially appreciated. 1t
is plain TO the meanest comprehension
that, should sach an immensely power
ful servant he added to the resources of
man, steam engines and machinery
would become more an,iquated than the
stage coaches and the mechanisms OF
the Middle Ages are to us now; coal
would lose its greatest importance, in
aiding the conversion OF mechanical
motion into heat; mountains could DO
tunneled or leveled like ant-hills, and
in fact all processes ofcivilization would
be changed. However, the scheme is
altogether too magnificent for belief at
present. Many a man has been abso-
iutely confident Of having invented per-
pctual motion, and many another, in
old days, thought he should yet be able
to transmute base metals into gold.
The invention of Mr.. Keeley is very
jealously guarded, and only few per-
sons-his special friends, among them
Chief Engineer Ruthford, ofthe United
States Navy; men who have advanced
him money, Of whom, il is said, are
John J. Cisco, Israel Corse, Hatch, of
Fisk & Hatch, and several Worcester
and Philadelphia men; and half-dozeu
practical echanics-bave seen his trials
of the yet unfinished machine. What
they have seen has filled them with
wonder, and given them confidence in
the genuineness of the man and his dis
covcry.-Eank Leshe's illustrated
Newspaper.

WONDERFUL WEALTH.-The won
derful story of the Brazilian wedding,
with its tantalizing description of linn
itless wealth in gold and diamonds, has
appeared in not less than five thousand
newspapers in this country and will
doubtless be translated into the langua-
ges of the civilized globe
"To dazzel when the sun is down,
And rob the world of rest"
This roseat romance has bewildered
many people; and, in fact, it came
pleasantly to the imaginations of mil
lions of people who derived immense
comfort from reading about fictitious
wealth, in the absence OF individual
bullion. But the romance of Diamen-
tina is utterly cast in the shade by real
and tangible discoveries of crude bull
lion in the Nevada silver mines. A gi-
gantic bonanza or pocket of silver of
seemingly boundless extent has been
brought to the light of the day, and
the material wealth therein is set down;
at moderate estimate, in the hundreds
of millions of dollars. The accounts of
these wonderful discoveries, are fairly
Oriental ir their expressions of wealth.
1t would seem from this grand silvery
exposition of mother earth that nature
herself intended to rebuke disposition
to legislate paper currency upon the
country. Feverish speculation has fol-
lowed npon the Developments Of the
Comstock lode, and California street,
in San Francisco, is the scene of more
frantic cupidity and the delirum of
speculation than was ever manifested
in the old Argonautic days. The world
stands astonished at the magical ac-
cumulation of fortunes. Two wel[known
and worthless bummers, Flood and
O'brine, have, from absolute penury,
in few weeks become the masters of
millions of money. While all this crazy
speculation is but temporary, and a
crash in stocks is imminent, yet the
wealth is there and there will be eau
tious men who will hold it and work
out their pecuniary salvation. The last
report from San Francisco, gives some
of the minor, yet thrilling, incidents of
the change from penury to sudden
wealth, and of the lost opportunities
which, if seized, would have led to for
understandable Courier Journal.

SUICIDE OF MINIsrER.-On Sunday
morning last the Rev. ]. n. Coombs, a
well known Presbyterian minister of
Washington, ID. c., committed suicide
by cutting his throat with razor. The
deceased was born in Allegany county.
Md, was a graduate of Dickinson Col
lege, and for a number Of years was
promiuent member of the Baltimore An
nual Conference of the NJ. E. Church.
He was about 65 years Of age. 1t is
stated that his wife has for twenty years
been an inmate of an insane asylum,
and that brooding upon his troubles and
her sad condition affected bis reason
and led him to suicide.

DEATH AND BURIAL or MRs HELEN
"Wednesday morning Of last
week our community was shocked by
the announcement of the death of Mrs.
Helen Lemep, wife of Mr.. p. L. Lemen,
and daughter of Eli Stake, Esq. She
was lady of kind and pleasing man
ners, and highly respected and beloved
by all who knew her. She leaves an
aged father aud mother, husband and
three small children to mourn her loss
Her funeral took place on Thursday Of
last week from. her late residence on
Salisbury street, from thence to St. Au-
gustine's Catholic Church, OF which she
was consistent and devoted member.
The services was conductedby the Rev.
Father Jones, who delivered an appro-
pirate and touching sermon, after which
her remains were interec in the GENE
terry overlooking the grand old Poto-
mac, followed to their last resting place
by large concourse Of relatives and
sympathizing friends
On monday last requinm mass was
said in the church in this place for the
repose OF her soul May she rest In
peace. WiniomspoH Pilot, Jan. 2.

SHEPHERDST0NN JEFFERSON COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA. SATURDAY,
GRANDPA's sOLHOQUY.

1t wasn't so when was young,
eused plain language then;
We didn't speak of "them galoots,"
When meaning boys or men.
When speaking of the nice hand-write
OF Joe, or Tom, or Bill,
We did it plain-we didn't say,
''He swings nasty quill"
An when we seed gal we liked,
Who never failed to please,
We called her pretty, neat and good,
But not "about the cheese"
Well, when we met good old friend
We hadn't lately seen,
We greeted him-but didn't say,
"Hello, you old sardine."
The bows sometimes got mad and fit;
We spoke of kicks and blows;
But now they "whack him in the snOot,"
And "paste him on the nose"
Once, when youth was turned away
From her he loved most dear,
He walked off on his feet-but now
He "crawls off OH his ear"
We used to dance when Twas young,
And used to call it so;
But now, they don't-they only "sling
The light fantastic toe"
OF death we spoke in language plain,
That no one did perplex;
But in these one doesn't die
lie passes in his "checks."
We praised the man Of common sense;
ellis judgments good" we said;
But now they say, "Well, that old plum
Has got level head"
It's rather sad the children now
Are learning all such talk;
They've learned to "chin" instead Ofchat
And "waltz" instead of walk.
To little Harry yesterday
Ny grandchild, aged two
said, "You love grandpa?" said he,
"You bet your boots Ido."
The children bowed to strangers once;
1t is no longer So
The little girls, as well as boys,
Now greet you with "Hello!"
Oh, give me back the good old days,
When both the old and young
Conversed in plain, old-fashioned words,
And slang was never "slung."
