MouSpsvrILE.-JeG. Martiu,ex-United
States Marshal OF the Western District of
Virginia, is on visit to his son at
Moundsville.
The prevailing stringency Of the times
is telling on Moundsville, as well as other
places. According to the Gazette, cur
failing process is going on among en-
ployers. At the Penitentiary the number
Of guards has been reduced. On the rail-
road, the force Of section hands has been
diminished. Merchants are curtailing
their clerk hire, and Gray & Purdy have
dispensed with their miller. Notwith-
standing all this there was a strike at the
new agricultural works last week, which
only lasted five hours however.
But every cloud has its silver lining,
and the other side of the picture, as pre-
sented in the Gazette, is this:
One day last week the -four mills, roll
ing mill, agricultural works and tannery,
ali were snortiug and putting at once. 1t
looked like business, and every puff Of
steam, every cloud OF black smoke that
rose to heaven told Of industry, prosperi-
ty and wealth.

Columbia.

We visited Columbia during the
week, were We met many familiar
faces. The folks there were in the
highest glcc all day Tuesday over the
plcnsulc they expected to enjoy that
night at the Opera House, in the ap-
pcarance Of Booth .as Hamlet. Per
sens from all portions Of the State
came to sec the great tragcdian, not
one Of whom whose luck it was to get
seat, went away dissatisfied. The
performance commenced at s o'clock
r. NJ, but long before thai time every
scat in the parquettc and dress circle
had its quota Of human flesh, and ere
the curtain rose for the first act, tic
building was alive with hundreds
whose anxious countcnanccs showed
that they would rather sec Bootl6than
to have first class legislators intc-
rest in the Big Bonanza bill.
The performance was grand sue
cess. Booth, by hard study and close
application, has made himself not
only familiar with every word of lis
part; Of this great drama Of Shak-
spcarc, but seems also to understand
every thought, impulse, passion, and
feeling that moved the bard Of Avon
in its composition. lie cmbodics
himself thoroughly with the charac-
ter Of Hamlet, md makes the audi
cncc follow him in every word, look
and gesture. It is really rich treat
to sec him, supported rs lie is by Il
Company both strong and intelligent
Apart flom the pleasure of seeing
Booth, there was not much of any
other sort at the Capitol.
The Legislature was in session, and
rs matter Of course, first class
farce was being enacted at the State
House. But visitors did not seem to
feel any special interest in procuring
reserved seats i'll that building.
There is not much business bcforc
that body, and if the men who make
it up had amy regard for the tax-pay-
crs, they would adjourn and go home.
We had n glimpse of the Sins" and
"outs' up there. Ex-Governor Scott
struts about bigger now than he did
while Governor. Parker is gone and
he seems to feel that MI is well with
him now. The dclectablc Franklin
J. Moses, Jr., now generously yclcpcd
Judge, still stalks around his old
haunts, but not with that same air
which distinguished him rs satisfied
william when Governor. lie looks rs
though he may quit the bcnch-if he
ever gets there with as much disgust
as Sapcho Panza had for his Island
before he had Governed there many
days, Dennis, Ncaglc, ct 1l gcnus
omnc, are also loafing conveniently
near the delightful places that used
to know them. But one can sec that
they seldom get their hands into the
pockets of the taxpayers nova days.
Some Of them wear old clothes, and
appear unable to buy servic, Bile
tooth brush. OF course they may be
playing the 'oposum. For ways that
arc dark and tricks that are vain
they arc very peculiar.
