A Thrilling Adventure ON New
River.

On Sunday morning last, the Hon.
John Il. Kenna, G. c. Watts, w. T.
McClung, Col. John i. Crockett and
the Editor of the Mountain Herald,
started for Princeton. After crossing
Greenbrior river, the party contin-
ued their journey up Newriver with
out anything Of interest occurring to
interrupt the monotony Of the trip
until the ford near Landcraft's was
reached. AT this point it was pro-
posed to ford across, and it was a
question as to whether it was safe
owing to sudden rise in the river.
AS the party nearcd the ford, and
while the subject Of fording was un,
der discussion, a wagon drawn by a
mule and gray horse, driven by two
negroes, was seen about midway of
the river, going in the direction of
the south side. As the river was
swollen and had an angry look, the
party determined to wait and see the
fate of the negroes and team. They
had not long to wait, for only a few
feet from where they were first seen,
the water became so deep as to lift
the animals off their feet, and the
rapid current swept the wagon, mules
and negroes down the treaeherous
stream. The wagon and its body
soon parted company, one negro
stuck to the wagon, and the other
chung to the tloating body. The mule,
with its characteristic perversity, re-
fused to swim, but the old gray nag,
with the energy of despair, struck
out for the shore, dragging along the
wagon, the stubborn mule, and pray
| ing African. The efforts of the old
gray horse, supplemented by the
earnest prayers Of the unfortunate
son Of Ham, were sufficient to bring
the wrecked travellers to shore. The
other negro clung like drowning
rat to the wagon. body, and drifted
swiftly down the stream. The en-
terprising Congressman and party
followed the departing Ward Of the
Nation, benton rescuing him. Near
| ly mile from where he had embark
ed, Mr.. Kenna and w. F. McClung
succeeded in securing a rickety dug
out" with which they reached the
shivcring and frightened darkey.-
He was overcome with gratitude for
his deliverancc, and exclaimed, 81
was almost gone! What can / do to-
repay you for saving me?" Kenna
promptly replied, Vote the Demo.
cratic ticket, and we will wipe out
the score" He quickly closed with
the proposed terms, and was saved.
Thusended an adventure that came
near proving fatal to a pair of dark
les, mule and an old gray nag
Kenna and McClung were voted u
pair of heroes, the party took a drink
of fresh water and moved on.-lioun-

Amt They Afraid?.

We would think from the editori.
ais of the Republican papers in our
neighboring counties Of Gallia and
Meigs, Ohio, their people would be
afraid to cross the border into West
Virginia, for fear Of being "bull,doz-
ed" or murdered with a shotgun
There is not an issue Of their papers
that there is not batch of blood
curdling stories, about the desperate
people Of West Virginia and the
South. All manner of crimes are
attributed to them, and the people Of
Ohio are told by these papers that it
is worth their life to go into any
State south Of the Ohio river In
the face of all these charges, these
same papers tells US that Gallipolis
is dependent upon our Great Kama.
wha Valley for her commercial sup,
port, more than upon any other por.
ton of the country. Still our PEG.
pie are called UNNAMED rebels,' "as.
sassins," "bull-dozers," shotgun
murderers," "Ku-Klux," and a host
Of other vile names.
Now in the light Of all these false,
hoods, can our people, without sur.
rendering every particle of manhood
still continue to deal with a people
who, through their Republican pa,
pcrs, are continually insulting them,
and magnifying every crime COM
mitted in our midst, as one growing
out Of political differences? We ap'
peal to you to assert your pride, and
demand ofthem a proper respect fol
your feelings, your people and your
State. If then they continue in this
uncalled for and undeserved abuse Of
the citizens Of this section, then we
say to you to withdraw your trade
from them, have nothing to do with
them socially or commercially,in 9th
CIR words ostracise them.

The Immoderate Use of Tea.

W. J. Morton, in an article on "Tea'
in the Journal of Nervous and Menta
Diseases, arrives at the following genera
conclusions
l. With tea, as with any potent
drug, there is proper and an improper
use.
2. In moderation, tea is mental and
bodily stimulant of a most agreeable
nature, followed by no harmful reaction.
1t produces contentment of mind, allays
hunger and bodily weariness, and in.
creases the incentive and the capacity
for work.
3. Taken immoderately, it leads to q
very serious group of symptoms, such as
headache, vertigo, heat and fushings OF
body, ringing in the ears, mental dull.
ness and confusion, tremulousne $,
nervousness" sleeplessness, apprehen-
sion of evil, exhaustion of mind and
body, with disclination to mental and
physical exertion, increased and irregu.
lar action of the heart, increased respira-
ton.
Each Of the above symptoms is pro-
duced by tea taken in immoderate
quantities, irrespective of dyspepsia,
hypochondria, or hypermmia. The pro-
longed use of tea produces, additionally,
symptoms of these three latter diseases
In short, in immoderate doses, tea has a
most injurious effect upon the nervous
system.
4. Immoderate tea drinking, contin-
ued for considerable time, with great
certainty produces dyspepsia.
5. The immediate mental symptoms
produced by tea are not to be attributed
to dyspepsia.
In tie above experiment upon myself,
the whole group Of symptoms was pro-
duced, with no sign of digestive trouble
superadded.
6. Tea retards the "waste" or retro
grade metamorphosis of tissue, and
thereby diminishes the demand for food
It also diminishes the amount of urine
secreted.
7. Many of the symptoms of immod-
crate tea drinking are such as may occur
without suspicion of tea being their
cause, and we find many people drinking
tea to relieve the very symptoms which
its abuse is producing.

Getting Around.

A bright boy is not baked by any
ordinary obstacle. He knows there are
more ways than one to cross a stream.
AS an illustration of this fact, the fol
lowing will serve
The other day sharp looking youth
walked up quickly to the counter of the
post Office in country town, and empty
ing bag of coppers thereon, asked the
clerk; who was attending to other Gus
toners, for a dollars worth of one-cent
stampa
ooh, you be botherd - was the
answer. 'That's not legal tender it
is all copper"
"What is legal tender, then o. asked
the boy.
"Why, one cent is legal tender for
a onecent stamp.
ooh" exclaimed the youth, sis it :
Come on, then," passing coin from the
heap: ga one-cent stamp, please" The
clerk gave him one. "Another, please"
A second was given him. "Ano-"
"Here, stop that" the clerk said.
"Give me the money. 1t will be the
shortest way to get rid of you"
After counting the money. he gave
the value thereof in stamps to the lad,
who was heard to mutter, 81 thought
I would tire him out"

death, as I might have now, living with
civilized people. This was not because
l was wretched or tired of life, for gen.
orally Jared as well as any boy of my
age, but contempt of death is always
taught to the boys Every day we were
told to avoid it in every possible way,
because it was considered great dis
grace to be killed either through care
lessness or cowardice but to be afraid
of death simply because it is the end Of
life was considered worse than any con
ceivable meanness.

As ever danced with gay surprise,
Or melted with tear;

Their Swallowed rays serene
But little maid you must not ask
Whose gentle eyes I mean.

Like brooklet in the June.

Whose music haunts the listeners ear,
And will not leave it free;

Whose accents they may be.

1t is mistake to suppose that physi-
clans know how to treat your constitu-

leap his efforts with all your unhealth.
