The war was heavy blow to Colonel
Terrill. Its close left him wrecked in
fortune snd robbed of his children. He
lost three sons in the struggle. The eld-
est. Gen. VIM. b. Terrlll, espoused the
Federal cause. He had been edu-
Gated at West Point and was
serving in the regular army al the
breaking out of hostlllties. His
sympathies were with the Sonth, but his
conviction OF duty led HIM to prefer the
cid service. He wrote TO his fsther for
advice; that advice was "to follow his
convictions" William commanded the
old Sherman battery at the battle of
Shiloh, and saved Grants army from
destruction. For his gallsntry in that
battle be was promoted to the rank Of
Msior General ard fell soon after at the
head of MS division at the battle OF Per-
ryville. The second son, Gen. james
Barbour Terrill, fell while
leading his Confederate brigade

loss OF his three gallant boys broke the
spirit Of the father, and i wss easy TO
perceive that his heart was buried in
the grave OF bis children. His vigorous
constitution yielded to the accumulated
troubles which weighed SO
heavily upon him, snd at last retiring
from his profession, he sought rest in the
family of his only daughter, who sfec-
tionstely nursed him in his dying hours,
and thus peacefully he passed away in
the 18th year or his age. -.

trating the opposite side OF his nature.
1t was u scene full of psthos and manly
dignity. At the time he located In Bath
county, he commenced the practice or
MS profession i'll Pocahontss, the sdjoin-
ing county, and continued his practice in
the courts of that county until he was
excluded by the attorneys test oath,
in 1865 He WAS always fsvorlte with
the people OF Pocahontas county, and as
he commanded their confidence, he also
commanded most lucrative practice in
their courts, and the people felt the
harshress OF the proscriptive policy OF
West Virginia as severely in beng de.
prived OF the legal services OF
Col. Terril rs perhaps in any
other particular. In 1869 the test oath
was repeated, and at the April term OF
the Circuit Court the prescribed lawyers
were admitted to the bar. Judge Nc
Whorter who had succeeded the notori.
Gus Nat. Harrison, was on the bench.
AS soon AS the Judge had disposed of the
grand Jury, the imposing form OF Col
Terrlll was seen TO rise rom the bar. In

nounced that, as the records of the court
would show, just forty years ago from
that day he had was admitted TO the bar OF
PocahUntas county; that for forty years
he had gone in and out among the peo-
pie, blsmeless; that he had seen new
generation grow up around him, yet ne
felt that he possessed their confidence as
FULLY as he had done that OF their fathers;
he pointed with pride to n professional
lite of forty years as the best vindicstion
of the purity OF his life and conduct; aud
vet tor the sole crime OF being true to his
section and true to the honest convic-
tions of his heart, he mad been pro-
scribed and denied the right to earn
living by tae practice of his profession,
and he felt deeply the humiliation OF be-
ing compelled 20 ask for resdmittsnce TO
bar of which he felt that he was the
father The scene, the eloquence OF the
old man, the dignity and psthos with
which he made his own motion for ad-
mittance to the bar, impressed all rs a
most scathing.rebuke to that policy OF
prescription adopted by West Virginia
Republicans at the close OF the war.

ton and England the English navy
could batter its way into any of our
harbors and destroy them and any
ordinary ship in the British navy
could blockade any of our harbors,
could keep in every ship that was
there and keep out every ship that
was on the outside. One single ves-
sci of the English navy could whip
everything we have got. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that the 'Infiexible.

whole navy. Our ships might fire at

people would go down to their dinner
quietly while we were firing at her.
And our ships could not run away
from her because she makes her IA
knots all hour on measured mile and
the fastest of our monitors only make

England has 65 ironclads, and France
has 6S ironclads, and they are both
building all the time. Whenever
France builds ship England goes to
work and builds another. Germany
is coming up as naval power. and
will finally have a navy certainly
equal to that of France. Russia has
very good navy, but 1t does not com
pare with the English or French.
Admiral Porter has very poor opin-
ion of the Turkish navy. He says 1t
is very much like Chinese forts. The

TIGHT.
The Pull-Back Outdone.

The 'eel-skin' dress is now the great
rage both in London and Paris. In
the widest days ofthe tie-back or pin
back mania there never was such
tightness in the matter of skirts as
now prevails. Whatever the paucity
of folds in the pin-back in its frontier
part, in the enormous exuberance of
the pannier or hustle the balance was
struck. But now not only is the bus
tie thing of honor, but even the nee
essa-y under-clothing is considered
deitrop. To lengthen the waist farbe-
yond its natural proportions, stiff
webbing of elastic is fastened to the
stays to the depth Of half foot, and
to this, at first, narrow skirts were
buttohed. But even this is now aban-
doned for another scheme to acquire
slenderness. Mrs. Swisshelm's much
ridiculed chemiloOn is in demand,
and garments made in this way are
sold at the furnishing shops, and pat
terms Of it pass eagerly from hand to
hand among lady friends. Some la
dies have had regular stage tights
made in thick webbing, and over
these they wear nothing but the out
er dress underskirts being simulated
by pleated ruffles of white muslin,
sewn to the edge of the dress, which
is then tied back till the woman with
In is shackled almost like convict
in a chain gang. No more uncomfor-
table fashion ever was devised for not
only are the limbs confined by the
binding dress, but the wearer must
constantly concern herself about the
condition of the bodice, that portion
being in incessant danger of turning
itself up behind wrong side out, like
an umbrella in a windstorm. The de-
sired effect of youthful slenderness is
generally obtained by the 'eel-skin,
but at good deal of sacrifice of per-
sonal eaee Paris Letter.

coming unsteady; and once, striking
his foot against loose stone, he pre-
vented himself from falling by an ex-
ertion so great that the blood spurted
from his nostris, and flames seemed
TO leap before bis vision.
Still he kept on. though it seemed
madness to hope, for his pursuers had
gained on him fearfilly; he knew 1t
hy the beating of their footsteps; but
with energies inspired by mortal ter
ror, he ran on. hoping 10 gain the
brow of the hill, for there the ground
became more open, and his own cab
I'm was but few yards beyond. he
felt sure that bis pursuers would not
follow him beyond the summit, but
could he reach it before they could
close upon him?
No, not by his own exertions, for
lust as the thought passed through
his mind his foot caught under
qnarled root that extended across the
way, and he fell heavily forward his
head struck the frozen ground, and he
lay senseless.
When Peter recovered conscious
ness, he found himself hanging over
the broad shoulders of his brother
John, and about TO enter his own
door. Here he soon collected his
scattered senses, and was able to lis
ten intelligently to his brothers. ac-
count Of his rescue.
Uncle Tom Barry, in his flight, had
stopped at the cabin long enough to
shout through the window that the
wolves were out, and hurried on.
John, Who lived with his brother,
knowing that Peter must come the
same path, took his gun and walked
out to the end of the forest, where he
halted to listen.
But a very short time elapsed be-
fore he heard the sound of thepursued
and the pursuers. and rushing down
the hill, he arrived upon the scene
just in time to leap between Peters
PROSTATE form and the wolves, the
foremost of whom was less than ten
feet distant. Taking steady aim he
sent bullet into the creatures brain,
and then, while the pack were fight
ing over the dead body of their COM
rade, be slung Peter over his back,
and gained the open ground in safety.
Peter frankly told the whole truth
about the affair, from beginning to
end, and concluded the story with
the emphatic assertion that as long as
he lived, he would never be guilty oi
another practical joke; vow he
faithfully kept until his dying day.
