Our only hcro for improvement lies IL
narrow gauge railroads, tho only rail-
road suited to rough country, aai
certainly tue only system within the
limit Of our capacity to build. A good
mucalamizcl turnpike will cost about
as much as narrow gauge railroad.
TIE LOCATION or the ROAD.
Our road was originally located BY
George Barrett, civil engineer, and
tho location is regarded en- all bands
as tho very best possible over the
ground. 1t is rnicr construction
under tho supervision Of T. Moore
Jackson, Of Clarksbrsg, as chief
engineer, and is being built with a
wide and sabstantialbcd, and when
done it will compare favOraJly with
any nrrrOw gauge in the country, and
will likely be u model among them.
ClarEsbrrg voted her subscription
last year aln.oEt unanimously, though
the formal Subscription was not made
until reccEtiy. VIXEN General Nortleo:t,

Who Loses the Eight Cents.

Seventy or eighty persons have come
to hand this week, inquiring in
pathetic voice who it is that loses the
eight cents when a laboring man takes
q ninety-two cent silver piece for dol
lar. Now, this is the thing that has puz-
zled us. If q carpenter receives from the
government q 92 cent silver piece
for dollar and passes it on his butcher
for dollar, and the butcher passes it on
the shoemaker for dollar, and the shoe
maker passes it on his landlord for dol
lar, and the landlord passes it for dol
lar on the State for taxes, and the State
passes it for dollar on a mason for work
on the new State House, and the mason
passes it for dollar to merchant
for silk dress for his wife, and the mer-
chant passes it for dollar to the custom
house officer for import duties, and the
United States Treasurer passes it as dol
lar to a soldier, and the soldier passes II
as dollar to the same carpenter herein
before previously mentioned, we are un-
able to see who has lost the eight cents.
Happy thought !-perhaps the loss fell
on some man who did not get it Seri-
ously the same man lost the eight cen ts
who loses sixteen cents every time he
takes four silver quarters that have only
eighty-four cents worth of silver in
them. But, even then, the five cert
nickles puzzle us. In dollars worth OF
these there is only nineteen cents worth
of metal. Now, will some of the editors
who lie awake at nights to figure such
things out, please to inform us who it JIG
that loses the eighty-one cents every
time dollars worth of nickels is passed
Who loses four cents every time five
cent piece is paid for glass of lager or
a car ride? The little copper cents are
even greater robbery. We have not the
heart to go into calculation as to how
many million dollars are wrung from the
| horny-handed bondholder every day i1
the passage of this debased cent, but it il
inconceivable how an opponent of tht
Bland bill can pass one of these fraudu
| lent tokens-even at distance = withou-
blushing for the perfidy of his race

eaten by the fish. That circumstance
suggested to the darkey the idea of dip
ping the bread into the whlskey and
feeding IL to them. He tried IL II work
ed well. Some one of the fish ate IL, be-
came drunk, and lay helpless upon the
water. BY this stroke of strategy he
caught great number. But in the
stream was large fish very unlike the
rest. He partook freely of the bread
and whiskey, but with no perceptible
effect: he was shy of every effort Of tbe
darkey to take it.
He resolved to have it at all hazards,
that he might learn its name and nature.
He procured a net, and after much ef-
fort caught it,carried 1t to a negro neigh
Dor, and asked his opinion of the mat
ter. The other surveyed the wonder
for a moment and then said, Sambo,

A Temperance Tale.

IRON Ohio comes capital temper

temperance lecturer, in one of his ef-
forts there, got off the following:
IAN those who in youth acquire the
habit of drinking whiskey, at forty
years will be total abstainers or drunk
ards. No one can use whiskey for years
in moderation. If there is a person in
the audience before me whose expert
ence disputes this, let him make it
known. will account for,or acknowl-

his arms in dignified manner across
his breast, said

Well," remarked the judge, scan
ming his subject close from head to foot,
"your's is singular case, yet 1 think it
is easily accounted for. 1 am reminded
by it of little story. A negro man,
with a loaf of bread and flask of whis-
key, sat down to dine by the bank of

some of the crumbs dropped into the

at all.
Mr.. Dlgby gathered himself up, look
ed savagely at the young man, elevated
his nose, and with q very stiff, I" Ex-
cuse me, sir" walked frigidly past Tom
Warren, whom he would have called an
impudent puppy, If an idea hadn't
struck him just then. OF course Tom
Warren wouldn't have his arm around
Nan unless he had a right to, therefore
1t was pretty safe TO conclude he had a
right. And here another idea struck
Mr.. Digby.

county as Miss Nancy; and Mamie

the wife for me. Why didn't think

And so 1t happened that on the same
day when wild Nan Harris became Mrs.
Tom Warren, Aunt Nancy also became

that either repented their bargain, but /
do know that Mr.. Digby never told his
wife he proposed to her by mistake.

tSy- A timely dose of schencks Mandrake
Pills is sure 10 prevent an attack Of bllousness
when short neglect of the warning symp-
toms may develop serious case Of fever, either
bilious, intermittent or typhoid.
schenck's Mandrake Pills remove all causes
of biliousness, promptly start the secretions of
the liver, and give healthy tone to the entire
system. II ls no ordinary discovery In medical
science to have found a harmless cure for this
stubborn complaint, which accomplishes all
the results heretofore produced by free use of
calomel, mineral justly dreaded by mankind,
and acknowledged to be destructive in the ex-
treme to the human system. That the proper
ties of certain vegetables comprise all the viz
tues of calomel without Its injurious qualities,
is now an admitted fact, rendered indisputable
by scientific tests. Those who use the Man
drake Pills will be fully satisfied that the best
medicines are those provided by nature In the
common herbs and roots of the fields.
These pills open the bowels and correct all
bilious arrangements without salvation or any
of the injurious effects of calomel or other poi
sons. The secretion OF bile is regulated as
will be seen by the altered color of the stools,
the disappearance of the sallOw complexion
and the cleansing of the tongue.
Ample directions for use accompany each
box of pills. Prepared only by j II. schenck

How Mexican Girls Danee.

A feature of society in Preside is the
fandango, or evening dancing party,
which is characteristic of the popula-
ton of all the rural districts of Mexico.
A favorite way of holding these soirees
is for the young of both sexes, and, in
deed, not few of the old folks, gayly
attired, to collect at house in the su-
burbs, and there, beneath the soft shad-
ows of cedar groves and the light of the
stars, dance in the open air, with the
green sward for ball room floor. The
Mexican girls of Presidio appear at
these parties looking quite handsome,
and dressed in red and white, their robes
terminating little below the knee, be-
meath which their well-rounded limbs
swell in stockings of color opposite 10
the skirt above. These toilets, as well
as their wearers, are very pretty by
torchlight under the cedars. as
