BEN WADE AND WARD LAMON.

The friends Of President Hayes are en-
deavoring to counteract the effect Of Ben
Esde's recent letter denouncing the Pres
idsnt's Southern policy. To this end Ward
Lsmon charges that sometime during Lin
eoln's administration Wade and others formed
. conspiracy to depose him from the Pres
idency and put Fremont or Wade in his place
This has brought Wade out in another letter
in which he repels the charge of conspiracy
% vilful and malignant falsehood. AS to
his letter denounciDg Hayes, he takes oc>
casion to say that it contained his sentiments
and the extract truth.
The Washington Star is authority for the
statement that Col. Lamon says that he is not
yet ready to meet Dir. Wade's accusation, not
because he thought he ought to rest under
the imputation of being liar, but because he
knew that every one who knew him and also
Bon Wade would know just who could prop
erly be entitled to be called lair. "You
sss," said the jolly-leoking biographer of
Lincoln, "Ben Wade is too old 10 whip and
aoo vicked to die"

A SPURIOUS BELLE BOYD"

A spurious "Belle Boyd" has been travel
ing through the Southern States for the past
few years RECALLING the public with incidents
of her exploits in the Shenandoah Valley,
in connection with the armies of Stonewall
Jackson, Banks, Fremont, Mcdowell and
others.
Meantime, the roal "Belle" has been quiet
ly engaged with her domestic duties, with
her husband and children in Baltimore.
The impostor has gone so tar in her
swindling operations as to issue circulars APP
pealing to the Masonic fraternity for aid and
using the name of the late B. r. Boyd, of
Martinsburg. This was moro than his daugh-
ter could stand, and she feels constrained re-
lucsant!y to appear in print for the purpose
of exposing the cheat, which she does most
efectually. Her letter in the Buhimorean
closes thus:
81 have forborne taking any notice of this
matter, as l wish no notoriety. With md
the past is in the eternal past, and I have no
wish to drag it from the grave in which it
lies buried but duty to myself, family and

tor to whom | have referred, is or has any
claims to the name of

NORTHERN SETTLERS IN THE
SOUTH.

We were visited on Friday by an intelli-
gent ex>editor of Pennsylvania paper, and
during q brief conversation had the question
propounded to US by him "Would Northern
settlers be respected here 2" We must con-
TESS We were somewhat taken aback at the
query. but promptly responded that of course
they would. That whilst our people had no
respect whatever for carpet baggers who
came among US for the sole purpose of stir
ring up strife and making mischief, yet they
had the highest respect for good, honest men,
of whatever shade of politics, who entered
our State for the purpose of identifying .hem>
selves with our material interests, and aiding
10 building up our waste places. We mon
ton this matter in order to dispel such ideas
% are still entertained ut this late day in
SEINE Intelligent minds at the North. and
given vent to by interrogations like the above.
It is remarkable that suck impressions should
still exist; but that they do, is perfectly patent
The people Of the South, and we of West
Virginia and the county of Jefferson, with
It's fertile acres and abundant resources, want
immigration; and the idea that any good man
coming among US would meet with disrespect
on account of Northern origin. is one
of the most erroneous that could be con>
ceived, and which the facts as they exist
brand as untrue upon the instant.
Many of the best aud most honored of our
farming class have come among US since the
war from the North, and withou, question
a. to their politics, have been received and
respected as good citizens. which they have
shown themselves to be. To their honor, be
Ii said, they have almost all of them, what
ever may have been their previous politics,
arrayed themselves on the side of the mass
Of the intelligence of this section, but wher
ever they have seen proper to differ, the stand
ard of their political principles has caused no
difference in the respect shown them, so they
deported themselves as good citizens, identi-
flying themselves with US for the general good
of all. We hope this fallacious idea of
Southern persecution will become dispelled.
1t is certainly high time it should, and that
ell sections of the country should perfectly
understand each other.

LEGISLATIVE GROCERIES.

The South Carolina Legislature is unearth
Ing some of the beauties of the government
OF that State under Chamberlain's rule It
is related that ga day or two ago commit
tee accidently stumbled upon an order from
the Clerk of the Senate in his official capacity
directing liquor dealer to send case of
champagne, three boxes of cigars and Eve
gallons of brandy to hotel for the use of
Senator Whittemore. the notorious cadctship-
peddler, who is ruling spirit in the Rcpub-
lican party of South Carolina. The wet gro
ceries were used by Whittemore and paid for
by the State. The proprietor of the hotel
received Q State certificate, signed by the
clerk and Gleaves, the Lieutenant Governor,
and upon this a warrant from the Comptroller
General was issued. But this is only one Of
. hundred instances which single exposure
has brought to light in which the State has
thus been made to foot the bills for goods
bought to crafty the luxurious appetites of
legislative thieves. The whole value goods
SO secured is many thousand dollars, and bill
before the Legislature, displaced by the recog
milton of the Hampton government, provided
for the payment of the gross amount for which
the certificates have been issued"

THOUSANDS OF AFF1DAv1Ts.-Manyh av-
ing used ''patent" and prepared medicines
and failed in finding the relief promised, are
thereby prejudiced against all medicines. Is
this rightY Would you condemn all ply
sicians because one failed in giving the relief
promised? Some go to California in search
of gold, and after working hard for months
and finding none, return home aud say there
is no gold there. Does that prove it Many
suffering with Catarrh and pulmonary affec,
tions have used the worthless preparations
that crowd the market, and in their disap-
pointment say there is no cure for Catarrh.
Does that prove it? Does it not rather prove
that they have failed to employ the proper
remedy? There are thousands of people in
the United States who can make an affidavit
that DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and DR.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery have eff
fected their entire cure. Many had lost all
sense of smell for months, and pieces of bone
had repeatedly been removed from the nasal
cavities.

THE HOMESTEAD LAW.

On the second day of March last, the Leg
islsture passed an act which will go into eff
feet on the second day of June, in relation to
homesteads.
1t provides that any husband or parent,
or the infant children of deceased or insane
parents, may hold homestead of tho value
of 81 900 by executing and recording, in
the same manner that deeds are executed
and recorded, certificate setting forth and
describing the property SO set apart, and the
fact that it is set apart as family homestead.
This real estate to the value of $1,000, there
upon becomes exempt from any debt there
after incurred, except debts incurred for the
purchase money thereof, or for the erection
of permanent improvements thereon, and for
taxes.
If such homestead shall not be of greater
value than 81 900 at the time of the execu-
ton and recordation of the writing, the same
shall not be affected by any increase in the
value thereof afterwards, unless suoh increase
is caused by permanent improvements made
thereon.
All excess in the value eff the property SO
set apart shall be subject to the slains of
creditors. In case of the death of the parent
owning such homestead, its benefits descend
to the minor children, and shall be. hold and
enjoyed by them until they all attain the age
of twenty>one years. Wheeling Register.

HOW TO BU rCHER REED BIRDS

The Germantown (Penn.) Telegraph
gives this cUld-b CODED advice to ialm mers,
telling them how TO butcher reed-birds with
out trouble Every farmer can Iaise his
own crop OF reed-Dirds, IN this region OF the
country at least If he regards these birds 10
be- dainty It'd bit, and chooses to 20 to a
very little expense. On every farm there
IS "a bali or fourth acre of land that can be
dispensed with, which he should SOW with
ordinary milel-Seed, When this is matur-
ing In September II will attract reed-hirds
in great numbers, and they are at his mercy.
As they feed early, he can have broil tor
breakfast, or his supper can bs made tempt
ingly appel zing. The plot OF ground
should be within easy reach OF a bush or
teDce, from which he can approach within
gunshot on at least two sides. When none
OF these are at hand, II "bind'' may be
built OF few boards as a place OF conceal
ment, which can be removed when the
season" is over We have known farmers
and others in this country to shoot hundreds
upon hundred of these delicious birds with
IN short distance from the doors of their
dwellings. This Is more convenient and
less expensive than gong upon the marshes
running the risk of desc of shot, and
wasting the best part of day. Tiy ii
once, ana no one will fail to raise his crop
OF d-birds every year"
