The Death of Theirs.

France is not weeping to-day as at
the death of Napoleon /. or at the ex-
ecution of Louis XVI. Theirs was
not sovereign, nor was he even the
master of France. He was merely
her wisest counselor and her shrewd-
est statesman, and his death will be
lamented all over the country with
the same sincerity with which ven
Grated guardian is lamented by a
family of orphans. The tears are not
tears of love; but they are none the
less warm on that account. For a
long to come France will remain a
child; now that she is without SOY.
ereign she is an orphan besides, and
her need of an orphan like Theirs is
felt every moment. Whether in pow
er or not his influence remained equal
ly powerful. He has moulded the
mind of his ward and guided her con
duct for fully half century. When
the ward broke loose at times, or col
into trouble, it was Theirs who came
to the recue He was never loved
but his opinion and advice were al
ways respected. He was beyond
question the most useful man O
France, and he was so not only il
politics, but in literature, in art, il
the science of war, in finance, and il
every branch of human knowledg,
which has direct practical bearin.

LIGHT-HANDED GENTRY.
A Minister Of the Gospel Robbed
OF $40.

On Tuesday evening last when the
six o'clock train arrived at the depot
in this place, and the usual order was
given by the conductor to change
cars for Wheeling and Chicago, a
number of ministers on their way to
the NJ. y. Conference, now in session
at Fairmont, gathered their bundles
together to get aboard the Wheeling
train. AS they entered the car there
was an unusual crowding from some
cause, and one Of the ministers in
particular thought that several swell
dressed gentlemen were pressing up
on him in useless manner, when he
protested and asked to be allowed to
get out of their way. They seemed
to pay no attention to his request, but
one of them showed him into seat.
They then passed out of the car. They
were no sooner gone than the feyer-
end gentleman found that his pocket
book and valuable papers were gone.
The former contained about $40 in
money. The alarm was at once rails
ed and search instituted among the
crowd for the robbers, but to no avail.
Officers were sent for, but the parties
who did the robbing were well up to
their business, and either concealed
or disguised themselves most eflectu-
ally. The victim of the robbery
could give no very accurate descrip-
ton of his robbers, but said they
we're well dressed, gcnteel looking
men. A woman on the train had her
pocket-b book and about six dollars in
money stolen about the same time
The minister's name was Jacob
Kahle, and was from Huntingdon, Pa.
He remained here till o'clock the
next morning, and Constable Hooper
and special policeman Chas. Compton
used all their efforts to discover and
capture the parties, but it was of no
avail.-Groffoa Sentinel.

ELECTROMAGNETIC silver. Repeal
the specie Resumption Act, and make
grcenbacks the equal of coin, by max
ing it legal tender for everything;
give us the same money for the labor
ing man that the bondholder gets,and
the hard times will soon be at an end.
This is our platform. 1t is the one
the working men need, and the only
the realization of which, can relieve
their pressing wants, and give them
constant employment at fair wages.
Make this platform active and effect
i've, by the proper legislation, and the
business enterprise ofthe country will
spring into new life, and we will ex
perience a season of real and general
prosperity seldom equaled. But con
tinue the present policy of contraction
and menace, the present system OF
Governmental favoritism and injus-
tice, and it will result in either serf-
dom or revolution. Shall we have
the workingman's platform with equal
rights, equal money, and equal taxa
ton for all, or the bondholders, with
gold for the rich and paper for the
poor, taxation for labor and exemp-
ton for bonds, low wages for the
workingman and high interest for the
money lender This is the practica
issue of the day. How shall it be de
cided?

A man bv the name If Hanson

A man by the name of Henson, lv-
ing in Teays Valley, twelve mills below
Charleston, seduced his own daughter,
then made an unsuccessful attempt to
kill her, after which he blew his own
brains out.
On the same day, near the same
place, a man by the name Of johnson
had quarrel with one AlfWest, which
resulted in Johnson cutting the throat
of West, and also cutting his tongue
out. West is said to be a man of very
bad character, and is supposed to be
one Of those who robbed Mr.. Torsner
not long since, who lives in that section,
aad for which his brother was after
wards sent to the penitentiary.

Civil service reform must have
looked up with a serene smile of salts
faction the other day when Returning
Board Anderson received a commits
sion as Special Deputy Collector OF
the port of New Orleans. The APP
pointment was made directly by the
President, who has been travelling
around so much lately that he has
probably not heard that Anderson is
under criminal indictment, and may
get into the peuitentiary before he has
fairly entered upon his duties as a
Special Deputy Collector. As the pub
lie does not generally understand what
a Special Deputy is, we are kindly af
forded the explanation that IN this
case the Special Deputy has been APP
pointed ''to give him the opportunity
to provide places in the New Orleans
Custom House for the men who man
ufactured the fraudulent affidavits or
which the Vernon parish and Other
returns were thrown out" There is q
natural belief that if these men car
thus be provided for when the trials
ofsWells and Anderson come on they
will not tell the truth, and will moi
therefore be dangerous. The most
careless reader can see that this has
not been done to help out the indicted
scoundrels of Louisiana-the Presi
dent would not do such thing as that
it is simply powerful movement in
behalf of civil service reform, and il
won't answer for the organs to criticize

IT would seem that r. B. Hayes,
Secretary Sherman d Co., are in a
wonderful stew about Wells and An
derson, two of the perjured villains,
who. as members of the Louisiana
Returning Board, returned the electo-
raj vote of that State for Hayes, in
the face of the great majority for Til
den. These two perjured scoundrels
have been indicted for perjury and
will undoubtedly be sent to the peni-
Tertiary, unless the Hayes Admins
tration can devise some plan for their
relief This is what is troubling
these fraudulent officials. Hayes
knows that he holds his title by the
perjury and forgery of these men and
of course he does not want to see the
poor devils who sold their souls to
perdition to put him in the Presiden-
tial Chair, sent to- the Penitentiary
for their crime. John Sherman does
not want these perjurers convicted
lest the evidence should show that he
was about as deep in the mud as they
were in the mire. Wells and Ander-
son knowing the fears and solicitude
of Hayes and Sherman, are dogging
their heels and menacing them with
threats of exposure unless they in
some way protect them from the ven
geance of the offended law. This is
giving their Fraudulencies world OF
trouble. They don't see any possible
way of keeping the culprits out of the
penitentiary, and just so sure as they
go there, the whole grand conspiracy
will be exposed. Both these villains
have large fraudulent claims against
the Government which have been re-
jected by the Claims Commission, but
it is now suggested that Secretary
Sherman may buy the continued 81
lence of these Returning Boarders, by
paying these immense claims, and
thereby robbing the United States
Treasury Of million and half Of
dollars to save himself and Others
from exposure Of their part in the
grand conspiracy by which the Pres
idency was stolen. But we can hard
II think he would risk such an infa
nous expedient as this, as it would
be G ftain to lead to a full exposure
Of their accumulated crimes. Wells
and Anderson are determined to make
the best out Of the sears of Hayes
and Sherman, and are therefore fol
lowing them up with the relentless
persistence Of bloodhoGnds. Time
alone can determine the result

Raiding Illicit Distileries.

Gen. Brown, collector of Internal
Revenue, is determined to break up
the numerous Illicit distileries hid
away in the mountainssof his district
and on Friday dispatched a party
specially deputized for that purpose
on q raid through the mountains at
the headwaters of Cheat. The raid
ing party is lead by Deputy Collector
f. G.. Jeffiies who has nine men,
Word was received from the party
by Gen. Brown, conveying the infor-
nation that the trip had been very
successful so far The party was near
Meadowville, and had destroyed five
stills and sitting apparatus, a large
quantity of mash, some whisl1ey, and
had arrested three prisoners, among
them the notorious Andy Phillips
known as candy Bullet" who had
made the threat that he would never
be taken alive and would eight till he
died" The party expects to get back
to Grafton this week. Gen. Brown is
well pleased with the success of the
raid, and is determined to keep it up
until every illicit distilery in his dis
trict is "silenced." Deputy Marshal
Alexander also accompanied the raid
ing party and assisted in making The
arrests. Grafton Sen.

- Brigham Young, the head
centre of Mormonism, was born at
Nottingham, Vermont, in 1901. His
father was farmer and soldier in
the Revolution. In early life Brig
ham learned the trade of painter
and glazier. In 1882 he was convert
ed to Mormonism and joined them in
Ohio, where they were all congregat-
ed at that time. In 1885 he was or
dained to preach the new doctrine, to
which he made many converts. Step
by step he advanced until he rose to
be the head of his peculiar institution.

A TERRIBLE CoLLIsIoN.-On Tues
day evening two freight trains collid-
ed on the Parkersburg division, doing
considerable damage and causing
heavy loss of property, the train
men at the same time making most
remarkable escapes from fatal inju-
les The accident occurred about a
mile and half west of Webster, and
was occasioned by the telegraph OPP
orator failing to deliver the arrange
ments to the east bound train through
a terrible oversight. The trains were
running at high speed and came upon
each other on grade and at a curve
in the road The men on the train
ascending the grade jumped from the
train and escaped with slight bruises
but the others did not escape so well.
The engineer, Thomas Smith, had his
hand badly mashed and both arms
and body scalded by escaping steam,
and was otherwise cut and bruised
about the head and body Frank
Kercheval, the fireman, and S. w.
Drake, conductor, were cut and
bruised considerably, but not danger
ously. One train was loaded with
stock. A number of cattle and
sheep were killed, and the damage
done to engine and cars will amount
to several thousand dollars.-Ib.

Rev. Stephen Jenner an Evangelical cer
gyman of the Church of England, has re-
Gently published, a pamphlet, in which he
maintains that the habit, widely prevalent
amongst Christian people of certain type,
OF speaking of and addressing the Redeem
err OF the world as "Lesus," is out of har-
mony with the usage of Holy Scripture, and
injurious in Its religious results. Mr.. Jenner
gives some striking figures in support of his
view. He finds that St. Paul, in his thir-
teen admitted eplstles, speaks Of the Re
deemer, either directly or indirectly, 557
times in all, and only twelve times in this
large number does he use the word "Jesus"
alone, and in almost every one of these
instances the cOntex shows that the apostle
used the word Jesus alone "because he was
speaking of Him there simply as man, or
in His human character" The rule is, in
the New Testament generally, to use some
Our Lord, and Mr.. Jenner forcibly argues
that this ought to be the rule in the Chris
tan Church now. In illustration of the
custom which actually prevails, and which
has lately become more IN vogue than ever,
the writer observes that in a we'll known
collection of "Sacred songs" he finds that
I the name of "Jesus" alone is repeated as
many as seventy six times within the COM
pass of only three hymns, consisting alto
gether of only sixteen verses Obserter.
