A TERRIBLE famine exists in North

EIGHT prisoners escaped from tho Co.

THE clergy and lay representatives OF
the parishes composing the Episcopal
Diocese of West Virginia will hold a
meeting in Charlestown, on the 9th OF
next month, for the purpose of electing q
Bishop.
A WRITER in the Washington Cd. C)
Sunday Herald brings out the following
startling but interesting facts IN relation
to the Treasury building:
"a portion of the building is sunk
some feet below the grade OF the street,
and IN order to reach the really beautiful
northern front you are obliged first to
descend some steps into an area, after
passing through which you mount an
other flight OF steps before reaching the
entrance"

again gone into secret session, ana Is
likely to continue there some time
Philadelphia Times
1T would be terrible thing If gold
should fall below the despised greenback
IN value. There is great danger that
this will occur, aud if 1t does the coun-
try will hold John Sherman responsible.
Washington Post.
AT a meeting Of the stockholders OF
the Martinsburg and Potomac railroad,
held at tho former place last Tuesday,
Mr.. Thomas b. Kennedy was elected
President, end the old Board of Directors
was reelected to serve for the ensuing
wear, Cumberland Nel0s.
THE adoption of the Matthews silver
resolution in the Senate has, OF course,
thrown a deep gloom over the New York
Tribune. 1t says:
THE American Senate has declared
that 1t would not be violation of the
public honor to pay the bonds in depro-
ciated coin, and that is shame enough
for the American people for one day"
We all know that the Tribune has a
sort of Syndicate contract with somebody
to guard the honor of the nation, and
these things are dishesrtening. The
Tribune should cheer up. The country
has survived the shame of Coltsx, Cakes
Ames, Grant, Babcock, Belknap, Simon
Cameron and the Louisiana Returning
Board, and may yet be able to live down
the rascslity of Stanley Matthew'S
Washington Post.

"CULLISGs FROM CARMEL

Several days ago we spoke of little
book which had been kindly left with
us by Rabbi MAYER of the jewish Syns-
gogue in this city, and promised to make
further mention of it. The author is
profound student, and has published
number Of books in foreign
countries as we'll as in this.
The title of the work is "Cullings from
Carmel" and it is composed of parallels
and sllegories translated and modelled
from various eminent Hebrew writer's.
We give below few extracts, think
Ing that they will be of general interest.
"TAe Rewards Of the Future World.
Judge not with feeble sense, the great
disposer of events, for thou msyest
not see the end of each. COP has not
revealed to man the degree OF measure of
reward that shall attend the works of the
righteous"
A wise man was asked why COP had
so blessed him in his life:
"Becsuse said he, l always perform the
smallest duty with as much cheeriulness
and aIscrity as l DO the greatest duty;
therefore it Is the LORD has blessed me-"
"Thc origin Of Vine,
at Is an accepted tradition that Noah
planted the first vineyard, and brewed
the first wine. And it is said that the
first vine stem, he wstered with the blood
of three different kinds of animals; with
the blood of lamb, with the blood of
lion, and with the blood of a
sow. Thus may be traced the
three stages which characterize
men who drink wine. He who drinks
for his health and to sufflclency only
will be as gay as a lamb, gentle withal;
he who drinks over much will become
violent as the lion, while he who drinks
beyond measure and without considers-
ton will become a sot, and wsllow in the
gutter like the; swine. Behold, how
truthful is the illustration in the history
of man."

THE ANEKA JAMS HEIRS.

A convention of about thirty persons,
from West Virginia, Indiana and Ohio,
heirs of ANEKA JAMS, was held at Gin
cinnati, on Monday. A portion of the
property claimed by these heirs of JAMS,
is now held by Trinity Church, New
York, and is now worth about one hun
dred and twenty million dollars. A
committee was appointed by this meet
ing, who were empowered to receive
proposals from the officials of Trinity
Church for compromise. II. e. TURNER
of West Virginia, is member of this
committee.

THE SENATE VOTE ON SILVER.

On Monday we analysed the vote in
the Senate on the silver bill, but here is
an analysis, by the Chicago Tribune,
from the same standpoint but in differ
emit vein, which is interesting. The Sen.
ators voting against the bill in direct and
notorious hostility to the almost unani-
NOUS convictions of their constituents are
SARGENT, of California; LAMAR, of Mis-
sissippi; CHRIsTIANCY, of Michigan;
MITCHELL, of Oregon; BUTLER, OF
South Carolina; and HILL, of Georgia.
In opposing the silver bill neither OF
these Senators represents any con-
stituency in his own State. The
people OF those States, if faithfully
represented, would have their full vote
recorded for the bill. 1t will be seen
that the producing States-those States
that produce the wheat, corn and other
breadstuffs; the beef, pork and other ar
ticles embraced under the head Of pro-
visions; the cotton, sugar, molssses, to-
bscco; the petroleum, the coal, the iron,
the silver and gold, and copper and lead;
the States that furnish ninety-seven per
cent of the exports of the whole country
these States are all unanimously IN
favor of the reconciliation and recoin-
age of the silver dollar of 4l23 grains.
On the other hand, the opposing States
are the New England States, Now York
and New Jersey. Pennsylvania has
broken loose from the money lenders;
her closed furnaces and her suspended
industries tell too plainly the deprecia'
ton of the peoples substance in order to
make gold dear. Even Delaware and
Mary land have refused to follow Wall
street in its demands The debate and
vote on the MATTHEWS resolutions leave
no doubt of the ultimate passage of the
silver bill, veto or no'veto.

IN THEIR ELEMENT.

CAssAEAvE, KENNER and AMBER
SON, of the Louisiana Returning Bosr6,
are now in their element. They are in
Jail with common scoandrels of sll grades
and cahbres, murderers and sneak
thieves, forgers and highwaymen. A
goodly company indeed, and one to look
out for on a dark night. "Curses,
like chickens, come home TO
roost," and so do crimes, and
although retribution seemed rather
slow in reaching those concerned in the
greatest piece of thievery this country
has over known. still it has arrived at its
objective point, and we must not quarrel
with it.
The heads of some of the Republican
leaders of Louisiana must be thick and
hard surelyl They did not seem to re-
member that GRANT was not President,
and that neither PACKARD nor PITKIN
was United States Marshall, until Attor-
ney-Genersl DEvENs taught them the
Lesson.
The New Orleans Custom House is 8
hot-bed where corruption is a carefully
nurtured plant, and lourishes according
"; but thieves who have fad from the
officers of justice can no longer find q
sanctuary there. The United States
officials who endeavored TO protect and
shield these criminals, and who arrested
tho legal officers that would have taken
these rascals into custody, cannot be TOO
severely deal with. The Returning
Board has been foul blot on the history
of q country whose record is none too
clean, for q sufficient length of time.
Its members have not only been treated
with courtesy by the Executive, but have
been his friends and intimstes since his
soiourn at the White house. Their
profound rascality last November
was we'll rewarded. WELLS, was given
the place of Surveyor of the por. of New
Orleans, and his son was almost as well
fixed. ANDERSON was appointed Deputy
Collector of customs, but was in reality
the head of the Office, and dispensed the
patronage. The Gabriel of the law, of
right, of honesty, snd Of justice, has
blown his horn and from the depths of q
cell in the parish Jail of New Orleans,
the Returning Board answers "here."
