one OF heller. clever tricks.

A correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
merciai tells the following story Of Robert
Hcller's skill in sleight-of-hand tricks:
Lager beer was the leading beverage in
the Cincinnati Sketch Club. One day there
were gathered some seventy gentlemen
artists, ministers, doctors, poets, musi-
clans, men OF letters. in fact, All professions
we're represented -whenlHehe announced
the fact that he would make disappear q
full glass Of lager, not by the usual method;
that was, that he would make disappear
this glass and the beer, and it would be
found in tho rear pocket Of some one OF
those present. aud he would be unaware Of
its presence. A moment 1t was not in
Helier's hands, and where had it gone ?
Every eye was intent on Heller, and crowd
ing closely around the performer. Samuel
N. Pike, who was languidiy leaning against
the mantel shelf, smoking and quite I'M
concerned. some twenty feet away, put
his hand in his coat pocket las we all did.

and withdrew it hurriedly. dripping with

MoRGANTowN, February Is.
Morgsntown is yet in existence
although for the past month 1t has given
but little evidence OF vitality beyond
one or two balls (O enjoyed by a class
known rs the spot singers" and their
chevalers. There has also been some
mite societies held by the ladies OF the
churches, which have been enjoyed by a
goodly number of the students and
ladies, but these relics OF q former civil.
cation are growing somewhat stale and 1t
does seem that the combined ingenuity
of towns, such MS this, might more ire
quently devise some other means
of fcasting the social appetite,
than by a wsrmed-oyer hash OF
mite society dealt ooIt in allopathic
doses once week for ten months each
year
This evening a slight diversion was
afforded by the Columbian Literary So
ciety, which gave those who chose to at
tend an opportunity to profit by the
wisdom, wit and elcQuenCe OF regular
quota OF its members. Tho exercises
consisted of those usually provided by
literary societies. One ESSAY purported
to be prophetic dream giving the po-
litlcal, social, intellectual and matrimo-
NAL ststus of the present senior class. In
measured numbers this essay disclosed
some interesting features in the future
career of SIX of West Virginis's sons.
The co-educstion question was dis
cussed in very pleasing manner, by
four of these valiant Ceumbians, and
no doubt, it the arguments OF the a.
firmstiye could be spread abroad over
the West Virginia hills, the halls of the
University would soon be crowded with
ladies. God speed the day, when the
Regents of the Institution shall freely
throw open her doors, that educational
advantages may be afforded TO the future
mothers as well rs fathers Of the State,
and then will intellectual training begin,
and be continued as it should from the
cradle. President Thompson made q
short but telling speech, in favor OF CO.
education. The audience was small in
consequence of the bad weather, but sll
departed well pleased.
The college library still receives an
occasional lnstslment OF new books.
There were twenty five arrived last
week. During this school year more than
three hundred new and veryB valuable
volumes have been added.
The I'D of February will be duly OBJ
served here by the firing of a National
salute at IL NJ, and the next regular
public literary exercises of the Junior
and Senior classes. These exercises are
to begin at $50 P. NJ, while the band
concert on the same night is to begin at

THE PENITENTIAY.

The semi-snnual report of the Di-
rectors of the Penitentisry for the half
year ending Dec. /, 1877, was yesterday
filed with Governor MATHEWS. The re-
port refers to the new engine erected
during the pas. summer and says that it
twill furnish power tor all the demands
that the institution is likely to make in
that direction for many yesrs,provided we
had water to run the same. This Is the
great and pressing need Of the in
stitution at, this time, in fact it is now
an absolute necessity" All efforts to
secure supply OF water by sinking wells
within the enclosure are declared failures
and tho Board is of opinion that the
only reliable resource is the Ohio river.
It's estimated that $500 will be sutii.
Gent to make this improvement.
The remainder OF the report is devoted
TO statements of contracts entered INTO
with various parties for the hire OF con-
vict labor, the terms of the contract with
the Acknowledgement of the United
States for the subsistence OF government
prisoners, etc, all of which we gave in
detail some weeks ago in the editorial
columns OF the REGISTER.

ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF
RONDS.

Advices from Europe this morning
show that United States securities ad-
vanced in the London market, on re-
ceip, of the news of the passage OF the
silver BILL The London Times accounts
for this partially on the ground that an
undue effort had been made to depress
the price of securities by those who feared
the effect of the passage of the bill, and
partially because of the Limitation placed
upon the amount Of silver to be coined
in any one year. Those who, for seihsh
motives, predicted the decline OF nation
al securities will be disappointed. News
papers like the New York
World and Tribune, which
have resorted to the acts of the low
demagogue in arrsying public sentiment
against the passage OF this bill, chsrac-
terizing it rs an act of "repudistion, OF
Irrational bankruptcy" of "bsd faith TO
the public creditors" IS = "swindic, a
"tbeft," and so on, will be disappointed
and disguised to find all their prognosti-
cations of evil so soon talsified.
Gold further declined, yesterday, as
was natural enough, and silver will ad'
vance until it meets the declining metal,
and tnen the silver dollar and gold will
roll along in harmony as of old.
The coinage of silver under the Sen
ate bill will cause no Immediately APP
precisb!e imitation in the currency and
will probably afford but little relief to
the stagnsnL industries of the country
save in so far as it tends to re-establlsh
con tidence and settle controverted ques'
tions. The passage of this bill is notice
TO the public that the financial policy
of the nation is to be reversed; that the
legislation Is no longer to be exclusively
for the benefit of 3 class but for the
whole people rather. This is a great
deal; and it will GO far toward reviving
the hopes of the masses and giving them
confidence TO enbark in business enter
prises.

IMMIGRATION.

Gov. MATHEWS informs US that he is
from tine to time in receipt of many
letters from parties in the New England
States making inquiries as to the capabil'
tiles of West Virginia as e wooi-growing
country and the inducements offered to
settlers. The editors OF the REGISTER also
receive many such inquiries from cit:-
zens of other States, and in the course
of year scores of applications
are received st this office for
copies of the REGISTER giving In
formation about the advantages pro.
sented in this State to immigrants. This
inquiry has doubtless been stimulated by
the exhibit made by West Virginia al
the Centennial Exhibition, not only OF
our woods, but of our woods and Goals
and other products.
We shall be pleased to have short,
tersely-wrilten communications from va
rious sections OF West Virginia, bearing
upon matters of interest TO such lnqHirers
as are referred to above.

THE TARIFF BILL.

Our faithful Washington cOrrcspon-
dent, who possesses rare opportunities OF
obtaining early and reliable iniorma-
tion as to the probable action of the chief
committees, informs the readers of the
REGISTER this morning, that the duty on
pig iron, rs fixed in the WooD tariff bill
heretofore published, will be retained by
the Committee on Ways and Means aud
the bill will be so reported to the House.
The Committee goes upon the theory
that pig metal is "rsw material" and
that "raw material" should generally be
admitted free of duty for the encourage
mont Of American manufacturers. But
in iron centers like Wheeling, pig metal
is not regarded exactly IS "rsw mate.
rial" as we have at least five or six
quite extensive manufactures which
mako Just that kind of pro-
dace. Tins was, before the iron bust
ness was "iostered" by a high protective
tariff until the stimulation caused there
By almost ruined it, when Wheeling was
perfectly content to regard pig metal as
"raw material" At that time we had
no furnaces TO speak OF, and most of the
pig metal VIC consumed wss purchased in
other Quarters. A tariff Of FIVE cents
ton was better for US than one of five
dollars a ton. But the case Is now re-
versed. We not only make our own pig
metal but have some 10 spare, and We
want to DO protected against those who
can make il cheaper than we can.
And if Mr.. Woop could, while he is at
il, only contrive some plan 10 protect our
nail mills against tie cheaper COMPETE
ton of the two or three Western mills,
which are located nearer our main mar
kets than We are and hence, in saving
freight can undersell us, he would do 8
popular thiug. But If he can't do that
let him at least continue the protecting
care of the government over our pig
metal.
While we would rather see Congress
con 6ne itself 10 the calculation of the
great questions of currency and finance
until it gets them satisfactorily settled,
deferring all disturbance of the questions
oil revenue either in the shape of duties
on imports or income taxes until smother
time, we do not believe any disaster 70
any of our industries will follow the
adoption of the WooD bill. And We
know that number of prominent iron
men fully sgree with US in this view.
Representations Of deeply prejudiced
men upon results to follow Legislation,
are seldom realized. We have already

BUSINESS FAILURES.

Recently / had occasion to speak OF
several business failures in and about
GAINESVILLE, this county, and also spoke
of the probability OF there being still
more failures in that locality. The
Bsrnesville Enterprise disputed my
statement, but already is the truth OF my
prediction verified, rs several more OF
John Sherman's victims realize to their
sorrow. Since that time Watson Pryor,
prominent farmer of that section, went
under with 49,, 1000 liabilities. Then the
Buckeye Burial Case Company OF Barnes
vile made an assignment; liabilities
$4,000. To these we now add another,
though not exactly in the neighborhood
Of Barnesville. Mr.. Walker Brock, OF
Union township, has assigned all his
property, incluiDg six hundred acres OF
land, to Nathan Holloway, Of Belmont
Mr.. Brooks liabilities amount TO about
$4,000. The assets are thought to fully
equal the liabilities.
The news of the passage OF the silver
bill by the Senate ls joytuliy received by
by the people over here. Now let Con-
gress repeal the resumption act, stop con-
tracing the currency, and then we are
willing for the members TO quit and &C
home and save their hash bills for the
rest of the year. There is no necessity
for Congress remaining in session all
summer.
