INTERNAL REVENUE CORRECTIONAL
comparative statement, showing a summary
of collections of internal revenue for the first
ten months of the fiscal years ending June
30, 1877 and 1878, exhibits decrease in the
tax on spirits amounting to $5,737, 734, 80; a
decrease CT 1872, 1854, SO in the tobacco tax; an
increase of SAT-, 224,56 on fermented
liquor, and q decrease of $l73, "a in the
tax on banks and bankers. The taxes on
dealers, rectifersand manufacturers Of
spirits have, however increased, as was al
so the case with manufacturers and dealers
in manufactured tobacco. The decrease in
the tax on banks and bankers included
every taxable item under that head-bank
| deposits, savings bank deposits, capital and
circulation. The principal reason for the
decrease on distilled spirits, Tobacco of Aide
scrptions, snuff and stamps for tobacco and
snuff is held at the Internal Revenue office
to be on account of the long agitation DUR
ing the present session of Congress ON the
subject of changes in the tax upon the arti-
clesin question.

Erection of Monument to the Memory
of Rev. w. H, DiddIe.

Rev. w. Fl. Diddle, of the Park ersburg
Annual Conference Of the Church of the
United Brethen in Christ, was born near
Sherando, Augusta county, Virginia. His
father died when he was quite an infant,
leaving his mother with seven children to
maintain and but little of this worlds goods
upon which to educate them, ard the facili-
ties for education at that time being very
meager, except to the more wealthy classes,
yet as he grew up he manifested an aptness
to learn and disclosed an. earnest desire for
education. His mother, also, died when he
was quite youth. and he shifted from place
to place, working for time and going
to school whenever an opportunity pre-
sented, as many of your readers in Augusta
county will remember.
Just after the war broke out, he came to
West Virginia and worked at the carpen-
ter's trade for some time. Having been con-
verted, and feeling that call rested upon
him to preach the gospel, he made applica-
ton to Quarterly Conference for license to
preach which was granted. Not long after
this, and just preceding the meeting OF the
Annual Conference, the Presiding Elder
of the district, while in conversation with
one Of the itinerant ministers, lamented the
lack of ministers to fill all the fields OF Ia
Dor, and they jointly agreed to spend sea-
son in prayer, daily, that God would raise
up others. In few days the Presiding Ell
der entered the study of the minister, hold
ing letter from w. H. Diddle, who was
well-known to the minister from boyhood.
He was at once conferred with, and at the
ensuing meeting Of the Conference, he was
appointed to tho Pennsboro circuit. where
he travelled one year, and united with the
Annual Conference at its session held az
Long Run, in Dodridge county, w. Va, in
March, 1865, and was returned to the same
charge, where The labored successfully until
the next Annual Conference, when he was
removed to Phillippi circuit, where he trav-
eled until 1869, when he was placed in
charge of Middle Island circuit, where he
served with great deal of acceptability I'M
| til 1871. At an Annual Conference at
Pennsboro, he was elected Presiding Ell
der and appointed to the West Columbia
district, and served in that capacity for two
years, when his health failed so as to make
the labors of the district too much for hi
strength. In 1878 he was appointed to New
Haven station, where he served the TIVE
years following. In March. 1875, it wa
| though best to remove him to more noun
famous region for his health; hence he wa
placed on Troy station, in Gilmore county
Soon he was found too feeble to travel
but his parshloners refused to accept
resignation, and retained him as their spir
itual adviser sidericg his holy life ant
example worth his salary to them. He lin
gered in poor and declining health unit

IN THE FUTURE.

What is yonder in the future?
Lift that mystic veil away;
Let the morning sunlight golden
Fall on shadows grim and gray,
Or the doubts aud fears we borrow,
OF the death chill and the sorrow
lowering DER our lives to-day.
Tell us, is there not glory
In the onward-gliding years
See we not beyond the parting,
AS we gaze through falling tears,
Fondest hopes and rosy vision?
Is there not some field elysian
Which the glowing sunlight cheers
Though we may not lift the curtain
Falling DER our future lives,
Yet we know the years are bringing
Rich reward for him who strives;
And where one day drops OF sorrow
Fall to earth upon the morrow
We shall see a plant that thrives.

Mr.. Editorials it will soon be
tho time to select candidates for the
coming campaign, we should be
very careful in selecting our candi-
dates, there will from all probabili- =
ties be great many aspirants, I
think We should select from our
most talented and most honorable
men that will go for the interest Of all
and not for the puy they receive
We should send men that would be
willing to go there for less pay, men
that will not cut all other salaries
down and let their own stand I'M
touched. I am inclined to think
that cutting down the Mag istratcs
fees was done for q selfish motive by
the Lawyers Ito drive the business
Of the country to the Lawyers). I
think it would bo we'll for the people
of the country to stop sending SO
many Lawyers to the les s;islature and
look more to their own interest, we
don't want SO much law making
i'll other words, make the laws in
less time and at Il less expense I
heard not long ago that a Lawyer
from ncighboring county, and q
member to the legislature, said his
time was worth six dollars per day
at home, and he thought lie should
get that while at the legislature. I
think if their timo is so valuable at
