and she cannot recover from West Vir-
ginia q sum approximating one-third O.
her Qnte-War debt

8EO SQo CauuOt TeCOV6r from west Wiz
ginia q sum approximating one-third O.
her ante-war debt.
The Governor of Virginia-Gov
Kemper-in his message Of October 5th
1877, says: Virginia can never become
liable for any part of West Virginia's
third except by virtue of settlement
hereafter to be concluded between the
two States. Clearly and unquestiona-
bly,, such settlement is impossible to
be had without the cooperation and as
sent of Virginia. If we ever become
liable for any part of the debt thus re-
mitted to West Virginia, then it will be
no otherwise than by her own volun-
tary act that Virginia will incur that
liability. Until the coming of the mil
lennial era, it may scarcely be supposed
that one State will volunteer to assume
the bCrthens of another State"
1t is scarcely credible that when Vir-
ginia induced her creditors to accept
her promises of money to be paid when
she settled with West Virginia, that she
then intended that such a settlement
should never take place, in order that
when payment was demanded, che
might DO able to say that the condition
upon which her promises were to be
redeemed. had never been performed.
!. West Virginia has always desffed to
act In this matter IN good faith and fair.
ness, and is interested in having it final
ly disposed of. The fact that these Vir-
ginia certificates are constantly called
"West Virginia's third, "West Virginia
bonds" and "West Virginia certifi-
Gates" worth only from:five to ten cents
on the dollar, creates neither a favorable
nor correct impression af the financial
condition of the State, and may tend to
prevent Immigration, and the influx of
capital seeking investments. Persons
In search of homes are not inclined to
select them in 2 State whose securities
ara reported to be of so little value.
The convention which re-organized
the government of Virginia, and assent
ed to the creation of this State, and the
conventinn which framed our first con-
stitution, seemed to have assumed that,
upon settlement, balance would be
ascertained to be due from this State.
If we are indebted. to Virginia, the
debt should be promptly recognized,
and provision should be piads for its
payment; and whatever may be the
result Of an adjustment of accounts be-
tween the States, the matter should be
finally set at rest.
In view of the Misrepresentation
which have been made, concerning the
disposition of our State, and her con-
duct as to her alleged Indebtedness, I
have considered it proper to direct your
attention to the subject, and to present
to you the foregoing facts.

wilfully disobeying you, but never pun
ish them in anger.

ill temper, wait till they are calm, and
then gently reason with them on the
impropriety of their conduct.

ishment when the occasion arises is
much more effectual than the threaten

NEWSPAPERS AND SHAMS.-One of
the greatest trials of the newspaper pro-
fession is that its members are compelled
to see more of the shams of the world
than any other profession. Through
every newspaper Office day after day,
all the weaknesses of the world; all the
vanities that want to be puffed all the
revenges that want to be reaped all
the mistakes that want to be corrected;
all the dull speakers who want to be
thought eloquent; all the meanness that
wants to get its wares noticed gratis in
the editorial columns; all the men who
want to be set right who are never
right all the crack Drained philosophers,
with stories as long as their hair, and as
gloomy as their finger nails in mourn
ing because bereft of soap; all the bores
who come to stay five minutes, but talk
Ave hours. Through the editorial and
reportOrial rooms all the follies and
shams of the world are seen day after
day, and the temptation is to believe
neither God, man or woman. 1t is no
surprise to me that in this profession
there are skeptical men 1 only wonder
that journalists believe anything.-Par-

An Indian Tradition.


One morning water for washing was
brought to Manu-, and when he had
washed himself fish remained in his
bands. And it addressed these words to
him: Protect me and will save thee." "
"From what wilt thou save meP' "A
deluge will sweep all creatures away; it
is from that l will save thee" "How
shall protect theeT The fish replied:
"While we are small we run great
dangers, for fish swallow fish. Keep me
at first in a vase; when l become too
large for it dig basin to put me into.
When l shall have grown still more.
throw me into the ocean; then I shall be
preserved from destruction" Soon il
grew large fish. 1t said to Manu-: "The
very year l shall have reached
my full growth the Deluge
will happen. Then build a
vessel and worship ne. When the waters
rise, enter the vessel and l will save
thee"
After keeping him thus, Manu- carried
the fish to the sea. In the year indicated
Manu- built vessel and worshiped the
fish. And when the Deluge came he en-
tered the vessel. Then the fish came
swimming up to him, and Manu- fastened
the cable of the ship to the horn of the
fish, by which means the latter made it
pass over the Mountain of the North
The fish said, Ihave saved thee; fasten
the vessel to tree that the water may
not sweep it away while thou art on the
mountain; and in proportion as the
waters decrease thou shalt descend"
Manu- descended with the waters, and
this is what is called the descent of Manu-
on the Mountain of the North. The Del
uge had carried away all creatures, and
Manu- remained alone.

Thursday next, when the matter will be

Collector Amor Smith was present at the
meeting and informed the gentlemen that
he had notification from Washington to
have the gauges OF beer barrels changed
from 32h gallons to 81 gallons, so as to con-
form with wine measurement
This will compel the brewers to change
al the barrels. halves, quarters and eighths
proportionately. 1t is the intention OF the
brewers to adopt some plan by which this
tremendous expense will be avoided.

DR.. Wardlaw, finding the six-mile walk
between his house and his church in
Glasgow too much for old legs to compass
comfortably, enlisted the services every
sunday Of sturdy pony. One day
meeting was held to protest against rail
way companies running trains upon Sun
day, and the Doctor deciaimed eloquent
ly against the threatened desecration.
When he had done, somebody in the
crowd urged that he would repeat the
Fourth commandment. The unsuspect-
ing Doctor did so; and then the same
voice inquired if the law did not apply
as much to the pony as to the OK and the
ass.
The inference was too palpable to be
ignored, ana the next two Sundays the
Doctor walked to church; but the third
saw him astride his pony again. He ex-
planned that, having consulted the early
Fathers of the Church and the divines
of Geneva, he had come to the conclusion
that the institution of the Lords Day,
as observed by all Christian Churches and
sects, applied to mankind only; and that,
in appointing the first day of the week
to be the Sabbath of the Christians, in
stead of the seventh, which was the
fSabbath of the Jews, the intention was
to leave the Sabbath of the brute crea-
ton as it originally stood-therefore he
had again taken to the pony, which, of
