my politics, l always vote for
the intelligent, educated, high-minded
man, in preference to the unworthy
one, entirely irrespective of the political
party to which they respectively belong
whenever the opportunity is offered
me. am aware that, while this think
is a sufficient answer to MIR. Lucas, 1t
places me outside of all political par
ties, an ostracism that, believe me, occa-
sions me not the least uneasiness.
Mr.. Lucas does not consider 1t to be
in bad taste 10 speak OF me, in would
be belttling way, as being jester, &c.
Now, what would he think OF me If, re-
turning the compliment, | were to say
that he was foolish young man, who,
for years, had been filled with the in
sane idea that he was a poet-fergetting
that the poet is born, not made, and
that a genial, kindly, generous nature is
as necessary to good poetry as sunshine
and shower is to the harvest.
Mr. Lucas proceeds TO say that my
head is turned from the perpendicular,
and that when | follow my nose, |
am sure to run against lamp
post or other obstruction. Unless he
himself Is the lamp post, | confess
that | am at as great loss TO know
what he means by this metaphOrical dis
play OF the Kings English as ever
have been while puzzling my brain over
his verses. Indeed, | only mention the
matter for the purpose of observing that
il would be well for most OF us, II Provi-
dence would be kind emo, to place some
obstruction or another in our way, when
ever we mediate transactions OF dis
creditable character.
Being now a dramatic poet, Mr.. Lucas
in prOprjd perSOaa-aiter the manner
of the Prince OF Denmark, pronounces
a solilouuy on "PoOr Davies. y That is
he is Hamlet, and Poor Davies
am the skull of Gorrick. Now it has
ever been question with the learned,
as to whether Hamlet was really crazy
or not. 1t is certain, that il he was, he
ought 10 have been in mad house,
while, if he was not, he ought to have
been in penitentiary. AS for Gorrick
or to drop the mctaphOr-as Tor me,
whatever my politics, or whatever my
"calibre," | am happy To say, that
though very warm this afternoon, | am
alive and well, and your Obedient SER
want. CHARLES DAWES.

BOILED DOWN
BY Il Wheeling Correspondent
of the CIarksburg News.

Your correspondent has read the re-
cent interviews in the Register with
many OF the prominent men and pOliti-
clans of the State, and ii any reliance
can he placed upon these talks the sit
uation boiled down at present in West
Virginia, is about this: There is a
strong and growing sentiment that a
great wrong was done Tilden and Hen
bricks in '7G and it ought to be rebuked
bv their denomination in 80. Thur
mans following is very strong, through
the State, probably stronger than Til
den's, and it may be the latter, if a can
didate year hence will control the del
egation, from W, Va. to the convention.
But the chances are cOntrarywlse.
The number of aSpirants for State
offices is very formidable, and yet pro-
baby hall of them have not popped
their heads sufficiently above the sur
face for the interviewer TO set whack
at them. 1t is not the wish OF every
candidate to show his hand and have
his strength rctailed among his compe-
titorS long before the convention time.
There are those VINO think so much
newspaper talk about them is down
right harm, and perhaps it is, where a
mans record is susceptible to attack
or where he has no record at all, good
nor bad. But to the business in hand.

c.lrr'rSsucsS, or set purpose, that hoard
vtrl will vet furnish the food Tor the
brightest fire i'm the history Of the city,
ami Iv the light Of which our city
fathers will perhaps Doe able to read,
when it is ton late, that il would have
been chcapcst-thc best ecouomy-to
have acquired the lot as part OF the
Capitol grounds, of which it
is naturally and essentially
"a part: covering IL wjtha green sod, and
LAYING out walks around the fountain
which should Dee placed in the center
instead Of ON the front pavement; and
masking q pleasant and attractive resort,
as we'll as giving the rear OF the building
an appearance that will Indicate It's
character instead Of that OF an old plan
ing mill which it now resembles.
Wheeling is not numbered with many
public resorts or green squares OF such a
character. 1t might afford one around
its most prominent building, There
NAV he a good reason, however, ofwhIch
we know nothing, why this property has
not been acquired and made part OF the
CAPITOL grounds. We do not discuss
This. But every one who views this pro-
pertv from the rear, will be apt TO Puz-
zle over the question OF why a building
Of the prominence and character which
Ibis has should have an unsightly and
dangerous lumber yard stacked up
against it.

WHEELING LADIES TO THE
FRONT.

The ladies OF Wheeling should not be
behind their sisters OF Cincinnati in or
ganizing a crusade against the smoke
and SCOT that make life burden TO the
housekeeper; that make all efforts at
cleanliness and comfort IN our homes
or persons, abortive; that makes living
expensive by reason Of the damage to
furniture. paint and clothing, and that,
in fact, makes the whole appearance OF
the city uninyiting and repulsive to the
visitor.
Since science and experiment assert
and prove that this Inconvenience
and discomfort may be avoided, the la
dies should arouse and compel those
who are making all this smoke to use
the remedies. Science asserts that smoke
is evidence of imperfect combustion,
and experiments have shown incredu-
lous male Cincinnati that il is economy
i'm fuel to consume this smoke. lfbeau-
tiful, cleanly Paris can burn soft coal,
AS it does, without soiling its hands,
much less beginning the city with the
smoke. why may we not at least be able
to live decently in Wheeling.
There are two inventions now in use
which are said to avoid the destructive
and disagreeable effects OF smoke. The
one Is to consume the smoke, as already
noticed, and the other to wash it by an
apparatus arranged in the chimney, so
that it is entirely free from its offensive
qualities.
We commend the example, therefore,
of the Cincinnati ladies to Wheelings
fair sex. Organize a crusade. Ii we can
Just as well have a clean city as dirty
one, let's have the former. The ladies
are most interested, ami they will do
well to take the initiative in the ware
iare-it will be easier than cleaning
house."

All his education was obtained at a COM
mon school and at home under the tut
ton of his father, a fine scholar. At

per. and started the SchOobldy Ndgd-
-UP, lot Il llnt SSb'ihS "''

ant Church, and took pastoral charge at
New Brighton, Pa. In 1868 he became
associate pastor with Rev. Thomas IL.

Recorder and Our Morning GUid@, which
position he held at the time OF his death.

gree of A. NJ. from Mt. Union College,
Ohio, in 1864, and the same degree from
Otterbein University, Ohio. In 1879
he received the degree OF d. d. from the
Ohio Wesleyan University. During Mr..
CLARK's editorship he made two visits
10 California. In 1874 he attended the
General Conference ofthe NJ. f. Church
nj Louisville. In 1876 he attended the
General Conference at Baltimore. In
the same capacity and same year he
visited also British conferences in Eng
land. being cordially received by all.
He extended his foreign trip to HoI-
land, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland,
and France, and published an account OF
his journey, entitled summer Rambles
in Europe" He is the author Of
various works, the best known OF which
are. "The Old Log School House,
"Workday Christianity" ''The Gospel
in the Trees" and Starting Out.
The hymnbook of the denomination,
