ono which must naturally cause uneasi.

MT. UNION COLLEGE.

This educational institution, located at
Alliance, Ohio, is purely philanthrophlc
and whose property, secured by donation,
is held in trust solely for the benefit of
students. The President, .. N. HARTs-
HORN, informs us that during the past
year the ATTENDANCE in departments has
been 1912 students. The three regular
terms (Sprng, Summer and Fall) enable
students to earn their college expenses
by teaching winters, without falling be-
hind their classes. The late Chief Justice
CHASE, who was trustee, said, "Mount

ARIT OF HISTORY.

The ParkerSburg State JouTHdi in re-
fcrring to our charge that a Republican
Legislature had refused to entertain
charges against NAT HARRISON when
Judge of the Greenbrier circuit, says:
Nat HARRISON was about to be tried
and would have been impcachcd If found
guilty; but his resignation stopped all
further proceedings. The register
makes its point against Republican
Legislature only by gross perversion
of history. The new management should
be more discreet.
1t does seem TO us that the editor of tho
state JoumaL ought to be more familiar
with the history of the State; and more
especially as nc was a party to tho pro-
ccedings, than TO say that
We perverted history in making
our statement. In 1866 Col. d. S
IIOUNsUELI, of Greeitrier county, ap
poared before the Legislature of this
State, on behalf of the outraged people
of HARRISoN's circuit, and preferred
charges against that Individual alleging
that he had been guilty of high crimes
and gross immoralities, at the same time
Offering to furnish the witnesses to7Drove
the allegations. Do you deny that state
ment, Governor? 1t is also equally true
that the Legislature refused to proceed
against HARRISON, and HoUNsHELL was
assaulted by Republican members in the
hall of the House of Delegates, and the
disgraceful scene of kicking him out fol-
lowed. Can you say that is pervcrsion
of history?
Subsequently, in 1869, when tic DEM
ocrats and Liberals had possession of the
House, the charges were again preferred
against HARRISON, and after
long and bitter fight, in his defence
on the part of the Republicans, led by
Gov. P1ERpoNr IN the House, the Grim
inal was brought to bay. The Republic
can Governor, who was no other than the
editor of the State Journal, permitted
him to resign rather than have even
handed justice melted out to him by the
Legislature that had used such extraor-
binary efforts to capture this judicial
outlaw, and remove him from the pro-
tccting arms ofthe party of "great moral
ideas" These are the facts, and we
challenge denial-to be decided either
by selection of experts IN morals and

We mentioned the fact few weeks ago
that gentleman from Grecnbrier county
had sent to the Centennial Rooms in this
city what he supposed was o specimen
of fire proof limestone, but turned out to
he marble. Since that, as the Green

covered that there is an extensive quarry
of black marble on the lands of Mr.
JAMES WITHRow, near Lewsburg, from
which the specimen was taken. We con-

Sleep the Best StimUlant.

The best possible thing for man
to do when he feels too weak to carry
it through is to 60 to bed and sleep a
week if he can. This is the only true
recuperation ofpower, the onl y actual
recuperation Of brain force. Because
during sleep the brain is in state Of
rest, in q condition to receive and ap-
propriate particles Of nutriment from
the blood which takes the place Of
those which have been consumed in
previous labor, since the very act of
thinking consumes, burns up solid
particles, as every turn of the wheel
or screw of the splendid steamer is the
result of consumption by fire OF the
fuel in the furnace, The supply Of
consumed brain substance can only be
had from the nutritive particles in the
blood, which were obtained from the
food eaten previously, and the brain
is so constituted that it can best re-
ceive and appropriate to itself those
nutritivc PARTICLES during state of
rest, quiet, and stiffness in sleep. Mere
stimulants supply nothing in them
selves; they only goad the brain,
force it to IL greater consumption of
its substance, until that substance has
been so exhausted that there is not
power enough left to receive supply,
lust rs men are so near death by
irst and starvation that there is not
power enough to swallow anything,
aud all is over.
