It appears that there is q sharp inquiry
regarding tho expenditure (not included in
tho cstilnates) of $l33, Gs4.10 for architects,
"etc., i" in the construction OF the new State

edge partly from the fects that tho archi-
tectural plans were we'll paid for In tho first
place; that $1,000 more was then alowered
npon tho lucky draughtsmen who had tho

L NEW BUSINESS ATLAH.

Atcasrs, RAND, MCNALLr & Cp,t Of Chicago,
have Just published business atlas which In
many respects Ia superior to any heretofore
presented to tho public. Tho maps OF tho
United States mud the Cauadas arc particularly
full, and each ono Ii indc1cd, according to new
systen, 80 that It Is possible, on short examI-
nation, to find tito location Of any railway,

from top 70 bottom and from ono side to thu
other. Eacl, terminus Of . line has placed OBJ

intlcxcd separately, and the towns, rivers, ctc.,
referred ~ nearly % possible to tho junction OF
two lines. Astm!lnr treatment haa bccn pursued
With reference to railroads and o4press.routcs,
the tcr1nini In either case being exactly snll-
catcd. Tho usefulness Of such a map for all
business men Mill bo at once perceived. II Is
not IN uncou,moa thing, particularly IN our
new aud growing country, for merchants to re-
ccive letters from places they ncvcr heard Of
before, aud the situation Of which they desire
to know. Persons who ara much upon tho rail-
roatls will find tho atlas slmost Invaluable, 1t
shows where every rullFoaa 10, and evcry

and moro oxpcdItlously than By any railroad

Tho paat year has been a good Que for fire
insurance companies. Tho aggregate loss In
the United States which insurance compa-
nies had to pay WAS only e34,876, 200 /; tlleir
rcceipts from premiums wore probably three
times that much. The distribution Of this
losa shows the chances to bo very evenly a.
1otted to the various sections, according 10
population. Thus, in Illinois, tho insurance
companies paid 81. cat, 600, in Ohio 81 ,Ga0,-
COO, in Indiana $4,000. in Michigan
81, 600, (where the saw.mills and lumber
regions abound), and so on. Unless some
extraordinary disaster occurs, like the Chica-
60 fire or Boston fre, the losses seem to be
pretty evenly divided, and tho profits arc de-
cidedly on the part Of insurance companies.

West Virginia is greater to Tho number of

that OF any other state, except Navada. lta
land is rarely horizontal; 1t generally lies at

SOiOurner Truth and the Mob.

At one time she was at q camp meet
ing, and mob of young ruffians were
determined to break up the meeting.
She, at first, hid herself, from fear, but
afterward said to herself
"What ! shall / run away and hide
from the devil-me, a servant of the liv-
ing God? Have / not faith enough to
go out and quell that mob, when know
it is written: 'One shall chase thou
sand, and two put ten thousand to
fight?' I'll go to the rescue, and the
Lord will go with me to protect me.
She went out into the open field.
among the wild and reckless mob, and
commenced to sing in the most fervid
manner and with powerful voice
1t was early in the morning, it was early in the
morning,
Just at the break of day,
When He rose, when He rose, when He rose
And went to Heaven on cloud.
Soon the crowd surrounded her, ann
ed with clubs and sticks. As she ceased,
one spoke up:
,"S,ng on, old woman nobody shall
hurt YOU" Another said: "Talk to us,
old woman !" Another: "Pray, old
woman, and tell us your experience p
So she talked and sung and prayed
until the subdued and convicted mol
quietly dispersed, and the exercises oi
the camp meeting proceeded peacefully
to the close.

The Story About Mrs. Gaines.

a Washington letter to the Cincinnati
Commercial says: The community was
rather startled by an announcement in q
paper of an engagement between Mrs.
Myra Clark Gaines and Mr.. Billy Nc
Garrahan, whose claim before Congress
is an old story A first reading of the
article astonished people, but a sober
second reading convinced them that it
was a hoax. Poor Mrs. Gaines, she is
welded to but one thing" The case;"
and can anything in this life be more
pitiable than that of daughter striving
for thirty or more years to establish her
Legitimate claim to property left by her
own father From court to court this
darntless woman has fought her ground
to-day gaining an inch, tomorrow los
ing foot, but never, never giving up.
What has been accorded as a right by
one court, has been snatched from her
by the next. She is a nee bit of q
woman, with eyes of piercing brilliancy;
III color one moment of the blacklist hue,
the next a steel gray, and the same eyes,
when softened by the recital of another S
distress, becoming of the most tender
blue She wears her light hair in curls,
and rarely appears without her bonnet
She is one of the best conversationalists
you ever listened to, and one of the most
agreeable women it was ever my fortune
to meet Her "laugh has been cele-
brated for forty years, and time, that
ruthless destroyer, has neither marred
nor destroyed the rippling qualities
which make it so infectious that who
ever hears it must smile, if they don't
join in with it, whether they know ornot
the subject which has provoked the
mirth. The supreme court has finally
and unquestionably decided in her favor,
and if she can collect it she will have
thereby 1886, 100000 of money, less the
$4,000, 900 or $40, 900, 900 to be deducted
for lawyers fees, etc. When she gets
final possession she intends erecting in
Washington grand hotel, where mem
bers of Congress and their families will
be able to live off their salaries.
Poor McGarTahan, whose name il
coupled with that of Mrs. Gaines, is here
this winter; but what chance has he tc
win even an honest claim? He is poor.
He cannot fix up the members. He can,
not push his affairs forward over "can,
vas backs" and Velwe CiquOL Ii his
claim is fraudulent it serves him right
that he is deprived of the means of car
rying his bill; but if, like Mrs. Gaines,
he is struggling for an honest right ther
EGod help Billy McGalrahan " becomes
more than the frivolous utterance of 4
heartless politician whom | heard make

shut the Door.

Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
No doubt you have heard that name before
Was boy who never would shut the door
The wind might whistle, and the wind might
roar,
And the teeth be aching, and threats be sore,
But still he never would shut the door
His father would beg, his mother implore;
"Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore,
We really wish you would shut the door !"
Their hands they wrung, their hair they tore,
But Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
Was deaf as the buoy out at the More.
When he walked forth the folks would roar
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore,
Why don't you think to shut the door?"
They rugged out shutter with sail and oar,
And threatened to pack off Gustavus Gsre
On voyage of penance to Singapore.
But he begged for mercy, and said no more,
"Pray do not send me to Singapore
On shutter, and then l will shat the door ~
"You will?" said the parents, then keep OF
shore
But mind you do! For the plague is sure
Of fellow that never will shut the door
