Believing that his beloved was awake

he caught hold of the snorer's an

the snorer was thoroughly awakened,
and, with q loud shrek, sprang to

recognized her. Over a scene so ter

Strange Bible Facts.

The learned Prince of Granads,
heir to the Spanish crown, impris-
oned by order Of the Government
for fear that he should aspire to the
throne, was kept in solitary sonhne-
ment in the old prison ct the Place
of Skulls, Madrid. After thirty three
years in this living tomb, death came
to his release, and the following re-
markable researches, taken from the
Bible and marked with an old nail
on the rough walls Of his cell, told
how the brain sought employment
through the weary hourss
In the Bible the word Lord b
found /, ,853 times; the word Jehovah
1866 times, and the word Reverend
but once, and this in the 9th verse
of the 111th Psalm. The 9Th verse
Of the 126th Psalm il the middle
verse Of the Bible. The 9th verse
Of the 7th chapter q Esther is ths
longest verse, tho 35th verse 11th
chapter Of st. John il the shortest.
In the 1O8th Psalm four verses ase
alike, the 9Th, 18Th, 21st and 31st.
Each verse Of tho 18lst ends alike.

DR.. Walkers Duality.

An incident in which DR.. Mary
Waiker's trousers took. Z leading
part occurred in Washington the
other day. It would be wrong to
pass it by unnoticed, since it is
adapted to impress upon the public
mind an important truth. Let us,
therefore, in q thoughtful and phil
osophic spirit, rehearse this incident,
and then proceed to draw from it
the appropriate lesson. DR.. Wal.
ker, clad in the majesty Of trousers
and the splendor Of q frock coat,
lately entered one of the public Of
fees, and sat down in the waiting
room to wait her turn TO be admitted
to the official presence. Among the
men who were present was one who
was RECALLING himself with a cigar.
Strange as it may seem, although
DR.. Walker has learned how to put
on trousers, and, unlike Mrs. Swiss
helm, knows they cannot b. put on
over the head, she has never yet ac-
quired the masculine habit Of sn,ok-
ing in the presence Of Ady.
The smoker was q courteous, but
also . firm and determined man, and
he declined to obey Dr.. Walkers or
der without . previous investigation Of
her right to issue it. He remarked
that while he conceded that it would
be wrong for him to smoke in the
presence of lady, he was unaware
that any member Of tho feeblsr sex
vas present. "You, my dear sir, |"
hs continued. addressing Dr.. Wal
ksr and apparsntly mistaking her
for . man, "ars wrong in suggest-
ing that there i . lady present. The
moment . hdy sntsEs I viii osass
smoking. but ustil thsa I elain the
right 70 smoke without any intsr-
iGCence." TO thi lueid sxpoaitioo

4 correspondent os the San Fran
cisco ChrOAtcfs gives the following
graphic description of the great scene
y.i,,', DE- resistance Il the Central Pa
cifc Railroad:
This, one of the most wonderful
features which nature has given our
country, does not answer to the geo.
graphical definition of a cape in the
least, but is an inland mountain
of the Sierra Nevada range in east
ern California. Probably there are
many people in our country who
would never have known of this
magnificent scenery if the great Pa
cifc railroad had not been laid.
You know there is only this road
connecting the Pacific coast with the
East, and this line in crossing the
Sierra Nevada range climbs the
point called Cape Horn. This
mountain is three thousand five
hundred feet high-an almost per-
pendicular rocky declivity from sum-
, NIT to base. The track. does not
pass over the entire hight Of the
lnountain-that is, passing up one
side to the summit and down the
other; hnt ~ia.c Gut in The. .sida OF the
mountain, SO that, in passing overit,
you have part of the hight above you
and part below. To blast a rock and
level width sufficient for the track,
men had to DO let down from the
summit with ropes. Our train was
westward bound. Up We move,
slowly, very slowly, for the train is
long and heavy, and the grade about
ninety feet to the mile. The puffs
from the two engines ahead tell us
that all the steam that daSe to be
used is on. On our right great
perpendicular wall, 30 near that We
can almost touch it with the tips of
our fingers from the car window,
and on our left, down, down q per-
pendicular descent, and growing
deeper as we ascend. Slowly we
rise, until the rain ceases to move.
It has stopped, that the passengers
may have more time to see the grand
sight. We have reached the highest
point of the road. We step from
the car and cautiously approach the
edge Of the precipice, for one dare
not move carelessly on such a brink,
that we may have one look down the
seemingly fathomless depth. We
look down $500 feet to the base OF
the mountain and then We turn and
look up . solid rock wall 900 feet to
its summit. Here We are standing
in this narrow track of . dozen feet
or 90 in width-this hight on one
hand. this depth on the other. o.

The FUTURE OF THE UNITED STATES.
1t is not generally known. says a
writer in the Coal Trade Journal,
even in cultivated circles, that the
amount of arabic soil in America is
greater than in Europe, Asia and
Africa put together, and can there
fore sustain more lives. This is no
rash conclusion. I speak from q
scientific basis, and I will show you
what that basis is: Our continent is
narrow, and therefore the winds Of
the ocean water it we'll. The noun
tains chains on the east side of the
American continent are low; on the
east aide of the Old World are high.
From this it results that the trade
winds, laden with the wetness Of the
sea, are attracted to our land. The
breadth Of the Old World and its
high eastern ranges cause the rain
less interior Of Asia and Africa.
Again, America il the land OF fertile
plains; the Old World OF scorched
plains. Our plains run north and
south, and % attract and rscsive the
rains. America u high under The
equator, The Old World ID vide;

WANToN BRUrALrTY.-Last Sunday
morning a number of citizens wit
| messed as wanton an act of brutality,
on Main street, as has been seen in
Morgantown for long time, Tom
Blair, a reckless character well known
here, was indul ging in buggy ride
and becoming offended at his horses
began to beat them numerically, get
ting one of them down on the street.
After while he drove to Durr's Ho-
tel stables and again gave vent to his
wrath by belaboring a pony with Il
loaded whip until it was literally
covered with welts, and blood oozed
from a number of wounds. About
this time Mayor Chadwick appeared
upon the scene accompanied by Char
lie. Chalfant. Blair took refuge in
the hotel, but was followed by the
officers and when closely pressed
jumped from = secondstory window
and ran over the hill toward Deckers
creek, followed by Chalfant, who
shortly reappeared leading the pris-
oner. Blair was lodged in Jail, but
was bailed out in short time He
afterwards confessed and was fined
$40. and costs. He went to his home
in Geneva on Sunday evening, a
wiser man. This was q commend
able act on the part of our officers
and was certainly approved by every
one. 1t is only once in a great while
that the presence of a. Henry Bergh
is needed in our town and we hope
nothing of this kind may be seen
soon again.

OHHTUAR ".

ELIJAH G. COLEMAN died at the res
idence of his mother, near the Uni
versity buildings, on the evening of
Monday, the Goth inst, of typhoid fe-
yer, aged about 2S years.
The deceased has, for about eight
years, been employed as salesman
in the dry goods house of L. Pickcn-
paugh, and was possessed of more
than ordinary ability for that bust
ness. He was young man Of strict
integrity and possessed confidence of
his employer as well as of large
circle Of friends and the community.
He was the main support Of his
mother who has been a widow for
several years. BY his energy and in
dustry he had accumulated a consid-
cradle quantity of real property en-
bracing the house where where his
mother resides and the Dolliver prop
erty purchased by him last Fall. The
body was conveyed to its last resting
place in Oak Grove Cemetery, on

THE CRoPs.-Our farmers tell us
that the fly is very busy with the
wheat, and that many fields in this
county will not yield more than a
half crop. Though some of the farm
ers think on the whole, we will have
more than an average crop. The
acreage sown is more than usual and
the probabilities are that there will be
an abundance. Grass is unusually
forward and already many cattle are
in order for market. There promises
to be an immense crop of fruit of all
kinds. Even the blackberries are al
ready in full bloom, the strawberries
are getting ripe, apples are as large as
hickorynuts, damsons are sound and
healthy looking and almost full grown,
in fact all nature is smiling and her
glorious promises are enough to force
the most callous heart to swell with
thankfulness for the abundance she
is showering upon us at present.

JOHN RoBINsoN's great show was
here last Saturday and exhibited to a
large and enthusiastic crowd of peo-
pie. 1t is generally supposed that
our people are panic stricken and
"hard up for money, but we did not
notice any diminition of the crowd of
circus goers and curiosity seekers
since the last exhibition in this place
by Barnum. Money matters will
have to get closer than they are at
present, before circus show will fail
to draw a crowd in Morgantown. The
old folks came to bring the children,
the young men came to bring their
sweethearts, some came just to see
the animals and some came just to
