The county Institute which has been
in session here this week has been the
most successful gathering Of teachers ever
held in this place, with the exception Of
the State Association in 1872. AT the close
OF the session this afternoon the enroll
ment had reached one hundred and fit.
teen. Teachers are not paid for institute
time, and this unusually large attendance
is proof that the teachers OF Marion county
at least are not going to be Indifferent to
school room requirements, but that they
desire TO keep up with the times and pre-.
pare themselves fully for their work.
Prof. Orago, the instructor, has worked
most faithfully, aud we are sure his efforts
have been appreciated by the large body
OF the teachers present. There are very
few who known better than he how to
give an institute life and efficiency, and
we believe that our teachers will go to
their respective places this fall all the bet
ter prepared, because OF this week OF
through drill. The Professor had many
friends here before; he now leaves host
OF them. We have heard itsuggested that
his appointment as Principal OF the
Normal School, would have given entire
satisfaction. Hewas not an applicant for
4 aFk hn- -lssae ,n,1N l,aN
Miss Dickey would accept it.
Efficient help in the conduct Of the in
stitute has been rendered by Superin-
tendent Satterfeld, Messrs. Fleming, May,
Miller and others. Night sessions have
been held which have been quite inter.
esting. Prof.. Crago gives an elocutionary
entertainment tonight, and leaves to-
morrow afternoon for Preston county,
where he conducts another institute next
week.
Prof. j. C. Gilchrist, formerly principal
OF our Normal School made a short call
at Fairmont this week. He is now prin-
cipal OF the Iowa Normal School, at Cedar
Falls, and was on his way to Philadelphia
to attend the meeting OF the National Ed
ucational Association. Many friends here
gave him cordial greeting, He also ad-
dressed the Institute.
We have had fine rains this week and
vegetation is, therefore, much revived.
We do not know how interesting these
current notes may be to your many read
ers from time to time, but for our part we
are always glad to hear from the towns in
this section OF the State. We know several
readers who look for your Wellsburg,
Moundsville and other correspondence re-
gularly. Would be much pleased to hear
from Grafton and Clarksburg more fre.

TuE New Orleans Times has from the
first declared that the negro exodus from
Louisiana was not instigated by land
sharks or railroad agents. According to
its report the mania" not only continues,
but has reached the sugar plantations and
threatens ruin to the agricultural, industrial
and commercial interests of the State.
The Times holds that the exodus is the re-
mlt Of spirit OF dissatisfaction with their
surroundings and Of sense Of insecurity
on the part Of the negro. 1t is confident
that the movement was not originated by
and has not been influenced to any ap-
preciable degree by political or selt-styled
humanitarian emissaries from the North
ern States. The remedy suggested is TO
letthe planters organize and guarantee pro-
lection to their employees against "bull-
,lOzing" in any shape; to let them reason
calmly with the blacks, and assure them
that the new Constitution will protect
their rights. Then the migration will stop.

Pittsburgh Telegraph.
The nail manufacturers have advanced
the price Of nails, in accordance with the
notice sent out some time ago. The ad.
vance is from s. 10 to s. 10. The stock OF
nails here and in Wheeling is said to be
quite small, and advances were made by
some mills before the new card rates were
adopted, so 1t is probable that the rate will
be maintained for time at least. A
prominent nail man said this afternoon
that large number Of orders had beer
received at the new rate and that the out
look for the nail trade was brighter than 1
had been for some time.

JUDGING from the expressions OF our Re.
publican State exchanges there is very
decided feeling against any Of the pro-
posed mbinations TO advance personal
ends, that have been hinted at.by byinterest-
ed parties. The Parkersburg Journal says
'there is no mistaking the fact, that
in many cases OF late where combinations
have been entered into to wrest offices
from the party in power, whether that
party was Republican or Democrat, the
changes have been notoriously for the
worse"
1t will always be so where the bond Of
union rises no higher than the desire for
promotion and the hope Of plumber, and
when movements in the interest OF re-
form are committed to the hands OF men
VIGOROUSLY corrupt, especially such as have
been kicked out OF the old parties. That
there are men in West Virginia sincerely
honest in proposing this coalition for tho
overthrow OF the party in power, We, do
not question for a moment, and to such a
candid hearing should be given. There
are others, however, and they are the con-
trolling spirits, TO whom pirates from The
Bay Of Biscay wonld be preferable as
leaders; Republicans had better remain
in a minority for a quarter OF q century to
come, than to clasp hands with these.
The NIorgantown Post declares itself in
favor Of straight Republican nominations,
and none other. Other representative
Republican newspapers of the State take
similar ground, and, to use the Language
Of the Journal, "if the present tone Of the
Republican newspapers of the State is ar
index to the Republican sentiment behind
them, straight party nominations are do
4red for both our State and Nation, at oul
next general elections"

LONDON, July 25.-Last nights debat.
IN the House OF Commons on the Irish
University education bill, shows that The
governments proposal 80 to amend The
I'LL as TO provide, by an annual vote, iol
exhibitions: prizes, scholarships and iel
Iowships, similar TO those Of the London
University, isgenerally accepted as calcu.
lated to lead 70 settlement OF the ques.
ton on a satisfactory basis.
VIM. Shaw, Home Rule leader, though
moving an amendment that no measure
would be satisfactory that did not provide
increased facilities for collegiate education,
made an exceedingly moderate speech, de.
claring the only further concession he
asked for was the payment OF the fees
to Catholic colleges, on principles similar
to that OF the intermediate Education act.
Mr.. Goshen, Liberal, pointed out that
his statement reduced the differences be-
tween Irish members and the government
to so small point that he hoped the
golden opportunity for settlement would
not be lost. On the Liberal side Of the
House there was every disposition 10 as.
sist in that settlement.
MIR. Gladstone considered the bill inade-
quate, but said he would cooperate as far
as possible with the Irish members.
Shaw's amendment was rejected on q
division, 257 to 10, but 1t is generally con.
stdered 1t was merely moved as a matter
Of form.
RIOTS AT WIMBLEDON.
Very serious rioting occurred at Win.
bledon yesterday afternoon. 1t seems
that large mob endeavored 10 force an
entrance to the Volunteers camp, and TO
effect the purpose set fire to the fence sur
rounding the camp after smearing 1t with
petroleum. The police charged the mob
and drove them back, butnot before many
police and rioters were injured. The in
habitants OF Wimbledon claim tho right
OF unrestricted entrance to tho camp,
hence the attempt to force an entrance
when refused. The local volunteers were
called out but did not interfere.
REMEDY FOR DEPRESSION IN COTTON TRADE,
LONDON, July 25.-Russia proposes es.
tablishing and fortiiying on the Siberian
coast naratime station for the fleet in
the Pacific ocean. Shorter time and no
further reduction OF wages are suggested
as the remedy for the depression in the Old
ham cotton trade. Some Of the leading
facts in connection with this trade are: In
limited companies alone 100000 capital
has been lying unproductive for three
years, one hundred and twenty thousand
pounds debt, 20 per cent reduction in op-
erativc's wages, mills running on short
time or closed, numerous failures and a
decrease Of 50 per cent in the value of
house and property.

The End Of the World.

A lecture delivered at the Ber-
lin University some three months
ago, by Prof. Dubeis-Raymond
bears the ominOus title "The End
of the World" and says that
every movement upon our planet,
with the exception Of the tides,
which is caused by the attraction
of the moon, is caused by solar
heat. AS, however, the sun loses
a portion Of his caloric every
year, science has lately come to
the conclusion that he will not
exist as an emitter of warmth
longer than for seventeen million
years. to come. During this
space of time our earth will get
colder and colder, in proportion
as the solar heat shall diminish.
The ice will advance from the
poles to the equator; the earth's
population will gradually recede
before the advancing glaciers;
the sun will become less and less
luminous until he will present the
appearance Of a dark red ball,
and finally ice will annihilate all
vitality on our continent.

Sensible Doctrine.

1t is not a correct doctrine to
teach human beings that it is
their duty to live on as little as
possible; it would be better to
live comfortably. What is the
use of creeping through life fee
bly, merely to save burial expen-
ses? Let us claim a full ana
vigorous vitality,when to breathe
and live is a pleasure. Either
one is worth his keeping in this
world or he is not; if worth it,
seize it with a strong hand.
"You ought to live on bread
and water, if your husband isn't
able to give you any more" said
a maiden aunt to a young girl in
the presence of the man she was
about to marry.
~ am worth my board and
clothes to anybody" replied the
girl; Sand if Joe thinks that he
can't afford them of good quality,
/ know plenty who can"
Joe thought he could, and kept
up to the record through life.
