A LADY fifty seven years old, living
in Springfield, is representative OF u
very mixed-up family. Her father, liv-
ing at Belfast, Maine, is eighty-tive yesrs
old, and four years ago he married for
his second wife lady thirty-tour years
old. The fruit of the union was daugh-
ter, and this lady of fitty-seven therefore
has sister three years old, who is the
aunt OF tie lsdy's son, 8 stalwart man OF
forty, who is the old mans grandchlld.
A case almost exactly parallel to this
Is found in Wheeling. The difference
is, tho old gentlemsn's. youngest child,
but a few months old, is by his third
wife, and his oldest grandchlld is prob
ably not forty years of age, though he
has mora than one married. We believe
he has experimentation who are no
older than his youngest child. Thus, one
of these grest-grand-children has q
great aunt who is younger in years than
itself.

Barnesyllle lie the ieadiag point for
shipping live stock East that there is on
the road between Columbus and Bellaire.
Three car loads of horses were shipped
from here last week, besides load oil
hogs. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
Central Ohio division, would consult their
own interests if they would construct
better facilities for handling stock at this
place. 1t would not be advancing too
far to build q durable stock yard and
have good well dug near. Should the
Bellaire and Southwestern road be COM
pleted, rs is now probable, the managers
OF the Baltimore and Ohio will be made
to show spirit of enterprise If they
wish to still draw the custom of the
trade south of the line. And while we
are touching this matter, let us say that
ladies waiting room and other conve-
niences should no longer be lacking in
this bouncing little city. We are fast
realizing our importance and can see
that more of the metropolitan comforts
should be ours, and now make loud cry
for more suitable depot. No one that
has ever visited Bsrnesville will
fail to agree with US in
our Remuneration of the depot
accommodation. But one small room
used rs express office and ladies and gei-
tlemen's waiting room. 1t no wonder
that there is complaint. The company
should see TO this matter and give US a
depot that will be IN credit, instead Of a
disgrace to the place.

ONLY WAITING.-At one Of our leading hotels
gentleman is stopping, who, years before the
war, came to Columbia, and was then amazed at
seeing the great water power which Columbia
possesses lying idlo. He said then to men who
are still alive that it was wonder to him that
this immense source Of wealth had never been
utilized. The war came and closed, and
thieves got possession Of the State, and, to use
his own language, ait was worse than folly for
him to try to do anything while they welded
the government" He is here now, with mil
lion or two at his back, and he wants 10 see CO.
lumbia OIL her feet again, and is willing to invest
her. The Legislature can-will it give encour-
agement to such men? He only wants to know
if our lawmakers will help the State thus far.
He is willing, and is only waiting for their re-
ply.-Register.

THAT DEBT QUEsTIoN,-It seems to us that the
Legislature is spending great deal Of valuable
time, very uselessly, in the discussion of the
debt question. The question is simple and in q
nutshell. The funding of the debt at fifty per
cent. was in the nature of compromise. 1t
was almost if not entirely impossible to separ-
ate the good and valid bonds from the fraudulent
The State said we will agree to give you fifty
per cent for good, bad and Indifferent; the
creditors said if you make this finality, and
pledge the faith of the State to pay US this
much, without further defalcaton, we agree
The debt was funded. Then the Democratic
party, through its committee, pledged itself to
stand by this compromise, and so did the Wal
lace House. These were the only authoritative
bodies that could, under the exigencies of the
times, speak out on the subject. The result is,
the party now in power is bound by these Piled
ges, and the Legislature ought to quit the use
less discussion in which they are now engaged,
vote to sustain the consolidation act, hurry up
the other business, and acknowledgement Star.
