The Martinsburg National Bank an
nounces by a card that it has reduced
the rate of discount on loans to 6 per
cent. At some length it gives its rea-
sons for this step, among others it
says:
We do this believing that the times
imperatively demand it, and that there
is not one industry in the country to-
day that can afford to pay more and
live.
We are told that our action will in
jure the banking business, and asked
how we will provide for bad debts;
but we are not told how much the high
rate of interest charged by the banks
has already injured the other interests
of the county. You cannot point to
one business in your county to-day, ex-
cept the banking business that will pay
over six per cent. If you pay mora
than you make you are living beyond
your means or trenching on your capi-
tai, and as long as that is the case the
banks will have bad debts to provide
for, and plenty of them.
We never could see the wisdom OF
justice of requiring the agricultural
and other pursuits that will not pay
over 5 and 6 per cert., to be taxed to
support us in charging s to 10, and be-
lieve such policy if continued would
be as disastrous in its result to us as it
is suicidal to you.

tic medicine that can be employed cleans
ing the stomach and bowels, and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
full effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthc blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

A COlored Skeptie.

When schools were estaplished in the
South for the education of the negro, they
were eagerly patronized by the colored
folks of all ages. Coy maidens of thirty
and bashful lads equally old gayly trudg-
ed to school with diminutive primers In
their hands, while the small fry swarmed
tn the school-houses. and were enthusiast
tic on the education question. Of Pete,
the subject of our anecdote, it might be
truly written that ''ne'er did pencil trace
a whittier eve or blacker face. His form
er master, Dr- H-,had taken great pains
with him, instructing him daily in read
ing and writing. In the fall Pete was to
go to school, and anxiously looked for
ward to it. This was in 1869, when the
sun was in total eclipse in August. There
were all sorts of rumors among the color
ed people about calamities which would
happen at the time Of this phenomenon.
A few days before it occurre the follow
ing conversation took place between Pete
and friend:

ANTICIPATION,

Slanting across the fields of snow.
The .westering sun makes haste to go;
This day, know, is tried and sweet.
Tomorrow tries my tagging feet.
With many pause of happy rest
I've jOnrneyed with To-day, my guest;
His stranger brother cannot be,
Methinks, as goodly company
Holding in his mysterious hand
Gifts that viii bless or blight my landl
larry yet longer, fair To-day,
That boding step an hour delay.
What songs have told my spirits cheer,
What sunlight warmed the glowing year
What dear companions round me hung,
While life and love and hope were youngl
These with Tomorrow fade apace,
Like bloom from a beloved face;
And trusting half, yet half with dread,
Iquestion, What shall be instead?"
The sun drops deeper, night is chill;
The oracles seek arc still;
YOn herald star which glitters low,
Seems reckoning on the wayIg go.
Tomorrow? All, that door doth opc
A new celestial path to Hope.

An Eccentric Wisconsin Man.

The Milwaukee (Wis) Sentinel says:
Capt. William Plocker, of Brandon, is a
peculiar man-quite peculiar. He was
educated fer banker, but never adopted
the profession. Thirty years ago he loca-
ted in the town of Metomen, Fon du Lac
county, having purchased large tract of
land. Previous to that he had spent some
years as a steamboat official on the ives
tern lakes. His was one of the best man
aged farms in Metomen, yet he found am
pie time to do an immense amount of
reading. His library is one of the larg-
est in the county, embracing many of the
choicest works and every one of the thou
sands of books have been read and re-read
by the captain. He is we'll posted on any
subject, almost, that may be named. At
times when thinking or reading he is OBJ
livious to everything about him. In his
early days, his farm house, near Fairwa-
ter, was converted into public house,
with himself as proprietor While the
captain was in one Of his brownest of
brown studies, a traveller stepped in and
asked if he could get accommodations.
There was no answer. A second third
and fourth time the question was pro
pOuuQSus Will ~ llhG ICSoIt' ny lhdt
time the would-b be patrons patience had
departed, and he gave the captain slap
on the cheek which sent him whirling to
the floor Imagine the surprise of that
traveller when Plocker gathered himself
up, reoccupied his chair, and proceeded
with his thinking, without as much as a
"thank you" On one occasion, when the
hired man was awry, the captain had ten
milk cows to milk. 1t took him until
nearly midnight, and when the task was
completed he deliberately poured the
eight pailfuls Of milk into the swill bar
rel, detecting the mistake just as the last
pail was drained. One day, at Brandon,
he went to the house of a friend when
the house was full Of visitors. Going to
the library he picked upa book and re-
turned to the parlor, filled with happy
guests, stretched himself at full length on
the lounge, read an hour or more, and
then, without having said word or look
ed at person, took his departure. After
serving his district in the Assembly in
1876, he sold his farm for $4,000, visited
the old country, and is now resident of
Brandon, whose people talk of making
him their first village president.

The 'Day of the Dead.o


Edward King writes to the Boston
Journal as follows regarding the observ-
ance of this day by the French: AS for
the day OF the dead, it is the most touch
ing and tender observance in France; all
classes of population 90 to the cemeteries.
and crown the tombs of their lost with
wreaths and lmmortelles and with more
perishabe blossoms. The custom is un-
iversal in this country, and in some sec
tons the peasants have very curious cere-
monlals In connection with the anniver-
sary. In the departments of Brittany
and the Maine, the peasants during the
night after All Saints run through the
fields bearing fire brands, the charred
pieces ef which they carefully preserve
as charms against any ills that may be-
fall cattle or stock. In the neighborhood
of Toulouse, until within few years, on
the evening preceding the second of No
vember there were professions in the GEM
eteries toward the small hours. The cler-
gy conducted sombre array Of maskers
and of trembling men and women, who
carried long tapers in their hands, and
fancied that they saw ghosts at every
turn. On such occasions the Dies ire
and the burial services were always chan
ted. In Paris the tombs of the illustri-
Gus dead are literally buried under flow
ers. Every year some Americans cover
the grave OF Lafayette with rare blossoms.
To the American, accustomed now and
then to wander through the grassy glades
land sylvan dells of our lovely cemeteries
at home, there is but little that is attract
i've in the stone walks and hard cold,
looking tombs in this country; but no one
can help being touched by the beautiful
memorial service here. 1t becomes year
ly more of a problem how Paris shall hu
ry Its dead. The cemeteries now in use
have been dug over, and over, until med
ical men have cried out, Beware of the
plague Transport your cemeteries into
the country" But for the Partisan Jour
ney to Enghein or Fontainebleau or ST.
Mauer each time that he wished to stand
by the grave, Of the lost, would seem ter
rible trial. Toward the end of the last
century there was pestilence because of
the overcrowded condition of the Gene
teri0s, and 1t was at that time that the IA
nous corridors of human bones, which so
many tourist have seen in the Paris Cat
acombs, were constructed with the remains
taken from the grave-yards. The city is
dotted all over with the sites of ancient
small cemeteries, now almost forgotten.
Indeed, one may be said to walk over the
dead every dav. Rabelais was buried
where the Church of St Paul now stands;
the st. Joseph Market house covers the
grave of Molie.~ and a few years since
the burial place u great Cardinal Du-
bois was found il the filthy gutter of a
dark cellar. Thus death turks in the
midst of life.
