WHO TAKE PAPERS.

Bro. HoKE, of the Keyser Mountain
Echo, says he has an idea of publishing a
list of people in that county, who take no
paper, Dustin gushing between those who
can read and write and those who make
the proverbal "mark" We like the sug
gestion. 1t would be nice muster roll
and would be scanned with interest by
people at home and abroad. If every
county paper in the State would compile
similar lists of their respective counties,
they would furnish "local news" of
an attractive nature. 1t Is
quite rs important to those
abroad who think of coming and making
their homes amongst US to know what
proportion of our people are intelligent
readers of newspapers as to know if we
have good schools and churches. The
newspaper inevitably reflects the char
acter of the people among which 1t is
printed. Fit has poverty stricken,
woe. BECOME, stupid look, it Is because the
people of the community are 4 slip-shod,
unlntelligent set. If the paper is a
bright, aggressive, go-shead journal, it
only reflects the enterprise, intelligence
and vim of its patrons. "Poor pay, poor
preach" is as applicable to the tripod
as to the pulpit. And reversal OF the
reading of the proverb does not weaken
its truthfulness. Poor preaching is in
evitsbly poorly paid. A liberal and in.
telligent congregation will no. tolerate
q stupid and ignorant preacher; no more
will an enterprising, educated and proud
people permit 10 exist among them
worthless newspaper. MORTON truth.
fully. said IA President will be what his
party makes him." and so, a newspaper
will be what its supporters'mske it.

WEST VIRGINIA INTRIGUES AT
WARRINGTON,

The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Times March %, brings out this
political gossip about the intrigues Of
men we know:
One OF the remnants of Simon Gamer
onism is just now putting up its hand for
a little notice at the white house, but it
has thus far been kept in the back
ground. It's tho West Virginia mar
shals hip. About year ago Cameron had
q friend, Geo. w. Patton, for whom he
wanted a place, and after stamping
around considerably and remarking that
it was hell of time he got Major
Slack, the West Virginia marshal, re-
moved and Patton appointed instead.
Mr.. Patton WAS then q citizen OF
West Virginia, but was very recently
heretofore q Pennsylvania living on
the Juniats. His father was an old-time
editor who had done Simon good service
in years gone by. When Slack was re-
moved he brought a srrong influence to
bear against Patton's confirmation.
Among those who called upon Grant in
his interest were Gen. Cot, district at.
torney and lately republican candidate
for governor, District Judge Jackson,
and State Senator Scott. The confirma-
ton was defeated, and Slack held the
fork. About two months ago Patton
made another strike for the place, and,
through Cameron's influence, secured
rsappointment. He was confirmed
after some delay and Wig
orous effort by Slack and Jack
son to defeat it. Since Hayes came in
tho ex-marshal has been keeping up
fight against Patton, assisted by Judge
jackson, who does not seem to mlnce
over descending from the bench of a
federal court to take part in petty per-
sonsl affair Involving $500 office.
Jackson was here several days after the
Inauguration, though not now in the
city. Slack is here planning to Dust his
successor. Since the contest has degen-
Grated into spiteful personal fight be-
tween two men, Golf and Scott have
withdrawn from it, but the judge still
stands by his own marshal. Patton will !
not be removed unless Hayes departs
from his new civil-serviee rule relating to |
appointments.

was the duty of Judge JOHN BLAIR

Philadelphia Times March %. IL
Crowds of people assembled on the
sidewalks of Market and other streets
yesterday afternoon to witness the nrst
and trial trip of the new steam street
cars of the West Philadelphia Passenger
Railway Company. The cars were
seven in number, the first containing q
cornet band, the second, President
Morton and bis family; the third, the
the Board Of Passenger Railway Presi-
dents, and the four remaining, members
of the press and other guests. The cars,
at distances of about square apart,
started at 2 o'clock p. NJ. from the depot,
at Forty-frst and Haverford street to
the Centennial grounds. thence BY the
way of Elm avenue and Fortieth, Bar.
ing, Thirty-third, Arch, Thirty-second
and Market streets to the depot. Inc
cars arc named the Excelsior. Enterprise,
Progress, John j. Morton, Louis L. Kan
som and Edward g. Gilbert. They are
of about the same size Us the ordinary
street cars, move almost noiselesslyI,
emit no smoke from their engines and
appear TO give horses little concern, al
though Market street yesterday was 81
most choked with teams, at certain
points. Six of the dummies were con.
structed at Troy, New York, and one al
the BALDWIN Locomotive Works. They
are more easily stopped than a horse-csr
being controlled by q powerful brake
independent of the steam, which is also
applied as brake. The weight OF car
engine and boiler, in working order, is
about 1922 pounds. The trip appeared.
to give full satisfaction, and the noyel
trainwas frequently cheered by the
crowds on the sidewalks. The fare on
these cars is only five cents.

THE Psrkersburg Sentinel says that cit

TIE Psrkersburg SentineL says that city
is flooded with counterfeit quarters, and
that it is impossible to detect their base
character without the closest scrutiny.
Ordinary tests by chemicals and weigh
ing fail to show anything wrong. They
weigh to fraction the same as good
quarter, and the surface being pure coin
silver, aqua fortis is harmless. Exsmina-
ton discloses that the inside is solid lead,
the lead being covered with film of
pure silver stamped precisely the same as
the money issued from the mint. They
are probably the most dangerous counter
feits ever put in circulation, and the i'm
possibility of detection renders their use
by rogues an easy matter.
