RsgA Edward Randall, the travelling
Evangelist, called 10 see us on Wednes-
day. He is engaged in inscribing scrip
tural notices upon rocks, fences, &c,
wherever he travels, and preaching
wherever he can procure an audience,
upon the streets and by-ways. His mis-
sion is teaching the scriptures, for the
upbuilding of Gods Kingdom. He has
been iu orr town and county engaged
in work that is peculiar but there can
be no doubt of it being successful
way to bring the public to think at
once. This mans travels have been
harassed considerably during his mis-
sion, but the obstacles seem to have
been surmounted, and he still remains
on the field with an open Bible 10 the
world, broad cast. He is native OF
Berkeley county-he was married IN
that county in the year 1859 to Mr.. Mil
Hin Pyle's oldest daughter, aud was di-
vorced from her in 1867, and since that
time there has been no communication
between them. He also related some
incidents concerning Shepherdstown,
causing his mid to run back a number
of years two of which he said he never
would forget. Upon one occasion, when
a boy about 8 years of age, the first
pair of boots he ever had he purchased
at the store of Mr. Benz. I. Towner !;
and the next was in 1859, when he
brought Miss Martha Pyle to this town,
who was afterwards his wife, to remain
a week on a visit, and be remarked that
that was the longest week he eyer ex-
perienced, during her absence from
Martinsburg. MIR. r. was born in 1888;
and was converted tosChrist in 1866,
and since that he has been doing his
Masters work preaching to the meek
and lowly, and his whole energy seems
to be bent upon leading the humble to
repentance and to the still waters OF the
River of Life.

Written for the Shepherdstown Reg
lister, and dedicated to the family Of
Mr.. John w. Hill.
When shall we meet, who parted on
that day,
When all was joy and gladness, and no
care to drive away?
To-Day Tomorrow Or will years
quickly fly
Ere we sing again in glorious strains,
1.-THE sweet by and byf"
When shall we meeti When summer
roses lie
Beside our path and nestle overhead?
Or later, when leaden winter sky
Looks coldly on the empty garden beds
While youthful faith and hopetulness
are ours,
Or only when our hair is growing gray'
All me! | may have done with earthly
hours
Before it comes to me, that happy day,
What then? Let life's lone path be
humbly trod,
And when and where we meet, we leave
to God.

HOW HYPOCRITICAL.
The desperate effort made by the r

The desperate effort made by the Re
publican party leaders to give TO the
POTTER" investigating committee rev.,
dictionary design was one of those hyp-
ocritical cants which is SO frequently
resorted to by politicians to distract or
divert the public mind. Sherman, Math-
ews & Co., would sooner see the coun-
try drenched in blood than 10 have
their villainy exposed.
The utility OF party organizations IS
demonstrated in the important work
which has been begun by the democrat
ic party at this time, that it is to expose
villainy, check fraud, and stop ex'rava-
gance. Mr.. Hayes need indulge no
fears as to the desire of that committee
to unseat him. He has shown respect
for constitutional government, which
reconciles the mass of the people to his
administration.
The democratic party, which had
majority in the lower House of Con
gress, acquiesced III the appointment OF
the electoral commission and ratified its
proceedings, Notwithstanding they then
as now believed that there was fraud,
and so did and do nine-tenths OF the
people.
But it suits these political wolves 10
cry wolf, that they may try to make
good their escape. Nothing but an
over-ruling Providence, in which we
are glad to fud Mr.. Hayes has faith in,
can save this country and people from
the devouring rapaci,y of the corrupt
politician. Mr.. Hayes being pledged
and convinced of the propriety OF hls
pledge-against a second term, can 90
much TO save and relieve his country
by displacing corrupt men. There are
honest men, and he knows them, who
can be brought to his aid, and If he,
like that great exemplar, Washington,
will turn from party to his countrys
good, he can immortalize himself. Now
is the accepted time! Turn John and
others out

COMMUNICATED.
SPORT UPON THE POTOMAC.

Mr.. Editor-Witb your permission
will furnish your readers With an ac-
count of our little fishing party Upon
the banks of the Potomac. Monday
afternoon weleft town with an avalanche
laden with fishing tackles, tenting and
provisions to last for several days-all
labeled for River View. We arrived
safely aud spent the residue of the day
in erecting a wig-wam, and stretching
our outlines. A nice bright fire was
then built, and bert upon fun we en-
circled the glowing embers with cham
of hilarity. Suffice it to say the Joviall-
ty was intense, and resulted in an incl
dent somewhat impressive in charaster,
which | shall now proceed to give your
readers. The military question had
been one of much prominence IN our
discussions during the evening,-glow-
ing tributes were paid to the dead VINO
'died that their country might live.
The grandness of military display was
wildly portrayed glimmerlng
bayonet, the dazzling blade, the brass
buttons, and striped pantaloons had a
peculiar fascination for us all. We went
further to speak of the great conquest
that had in the past been achieved by
this decisive and final arbitrator-''na-
tons last resort" and the illustrious
characters that through this medium
had attained the acme OF imperishable
glory. These reflections created an
active emulation in the breast OF our
little party, one in particular was very
much affected, as will be seen in the
sequel. Thinking ais right we repair
ed to our hunks, the soft side OF our
wnite-oak pillow was discovered with
some difficulty, while the straw upon
which we lay kindly parted itself tina!
our backbones might substantially rest
upon a harp,edged rail beneath But
despite these little discrepancies in our
bed we felt sure we would rest,-since
the poet SAYS
"Weariness can sleep upon the flint,
Whilst FESTIVE sloth finds the downy
pillow hard.
Well, we did sleep but twas only
short bile, ere we were awakened 10y

All the boys wondered
We Immediately pursued the SOM
nambulist and finally succeeded in con-
vincing him that Congress had lett
nothing undone in providing us pro-
lection against this people, and that his
charge that early hour in the morning
upon the rcd-face was altogether un-
called for. His prowess was untaller-
ing and persists Of recommendation
to the prospectus cavalry OF Jefferson
Co. IT'S scarcely necessary to say our
friend was very much "rigged" the next
morning when we congratulated him
upon his successful adventure, since not

could be seen. In conclusion | would
but say the finny tribe would not be
