Death Of Hon. U. N. Arnett.

We regret to have to announce
the untimely death of Hon. u. n.
Arnett, of Marion county.
We have only such particulars
OF his death as were contained in q
brief telegram to his son, Col. w.
w. Arnett. of this city, stating
that his body Was found yeaster-
day morning near his residence
where he had apparently fallen
over a bank, perhaps from an at
tack of apoplexy.
Mr.. Arnett resided on farm on
the bank of the Monongahela river
about three miles below Fairmont.
He was about 90 to 60 years of age
OF large frame and full habit. He
has been one Of the leading men
Of his county, and favorably
known throughout the State for a
number of years. He has repre-
sented his country In the Legisla-
ture for two or more terms, and
was President of the Senate branch
of the Legislature of 1877-7S; was
member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1872, and was spok
en- of "a q candidate for Governor
to succeed Governor Mathews.
He was a man who had many
warm friends ola kind and gen.
erous nature, throughly honorable
and reliable in all his dealings;
and gaining the respect and esteem
of even his political opponents
with whom his social or offici. |
relations brought him in contact.
There are few men In Marion
county who will be more greatly
missed than he, and we always
regret TO record the loss of such a
man to the State Wheeling Reg
lister.

The following is an extract from
an address by prominent mission
airy from India:
1.-THE girls are married at the age
of five and six. never later than ten,
on account of the believed effect
that such a misfortune would have
on her ancestors. She is put into a
box, which is closed up like a coffin
and covered with decorated cloth,
and in this shape taken to the hus-
hands, where she is deposited and
| left for the rest Of her life, never to
| go ont save on the occasion OF eXcep-
tional and rare visits TO her mother.
In the high caste houses the outer
court, around which are the mems
apartments, luxurousiy furnished,
is reached by an underground pas
sage. A passage leads from this to
an inner court about which are the
wives rooms or cells. The walls
and floor inside are of brick; there is
no bed, no chair and no furniture
but sort of desk and a box in which
the occupants clothes are kept.
They are never taught to read or
write, and suppose that when l
went there first not one in eighty
thousand could read. AL of the
world they ever see is this inner
court. They are marvelously beau
tiful, however, both men and wo-
men, as race. despite the hard lot
of the wives. Each lady has her own
brick-floored cell, and sleeps on a
strip of mating. The widows are
far worse off, however. They can
never marry again; can eat only one
meal day, of rice: are debarred by
superstitiouS custom from receiving
any help or any word OF love or
mercy; are compelled to wear their
hair hanging loose, uncleansed and
unbranded, and cannot speak in the
presence of their mother-in-law or
sister in-law without permission.
Every three weeks they have TWEEN
ty-four hour fast. | saw one little
girl, a child who was burning up
with fever, and whose tongue, black
and swollen, was protruding from
her parched lips. / asked her if she
wanted water, and she signitied fee
bly, that she did. | told the women
to get her some, but they refused,
saying that she was a widow and it
was wrong. She had had no water
for three days, but they would not
let me give her any on the plea that
| was a polluted foreigner, and such
an act would break her caste and
that of the whole house. She died
in great agony the next day.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

The handsome Nickel Plated New
Home Lamp, being introduced TO the
public this Season, is the most merito-
rious article ever offered Agents to
make money with. tits safer, and more
convenient than the Student Lamp,
which has heretofore had the reputa-
ton of being the Safest Lamp made; it
has clamp to firmly attach it to the
Sewing Machine, Piano, Organ, Desk.
etc. The fear fthe ordinary lamp be-
ing accidentally upset or thrown from
the table, is entirely relieved by this
simple clamp contrivance. 1t can be
adjusted to throw the light just where
it is wanted to suit the eyes, and can be
converted into handsome wall lamp.
II has the best argsnd burner, a filing
indicator, and convenient match box,
and its price is within the reach of eve
ry one. 1t has been fully tested and
editorily endorsed by the Western
Review" Herald and Presbyter,"
journal and Messenger and ''Chris-
tian Standard" the leading religions
by the Mayor and Post Master Of Gin
CihuhtlJ tHc hRcut VI Viz hIcJShu SA-
press Company and Presidents Of In
surance Companies, as being the Safest,
Most Convenient and best Lamp made.
There are three reasons why Agents
should seek such an article to canvas
for-first, for its absolute safety and
great convenience it is needed in every
home-second, its low price makes its
sale immense--third at will be q credit
to handle such an article. One south
ern Agent writes it sells faster than
Gen. Lees Portrait sold right after the
war; another writes, it beats the palmy
days of the Sewing Machine its rapid
sale, low price, and liberal terms sur
prise old Agents. Address Home
Lamp Co., Cincinnati, o., mentioning
our paper anc they will give you full
particulars and exclusive territory to
canvass in. sepl3-13t.

Dlc

Capt. John S. Wise, son of the
la:e Henry A. Wise, and the de-
feated Readjuster candidate for
representative in Congress in the
Richmond (Va.) district, wrote
the following letter to friend in
Chicago three weeks after the
election:
RICHMOND, VA, Nov. q.
Dear Sri fully agree with you
in what you say about the foolish
ness of some of our stump speak
ers in the South. l believe Hamp-
ton and that ilk did more to solid
ify the North and defeat Hancock
than did the whole array of North
ern speakers. 1t is a pity such
men were not killed in the war.
AS long as we make a solid South
solid North will oppose us, and
as long as it does we are whipped.
l was in a small way a confeder-
ate soldier, and while l would not
stultify my record for the wealth
of Ind, l am willing TO look for
ward and not backward in politics
and seek living issues, accepting
and ignoring the past. / think
Hampton was fool when we said
we were fighting for the same
principles for u hich we fought un-
der Lee and Jackson 1t is not
true in any sense. We fought for
Southern independence and for
slavery under ii. l would not
fight for either again, and would
regard either as a great calamity
to our people. This, l am sure, is
the sentiment of ninety-nine hun
dredths of our people. Yet this
foolish speech was heralded all
though the North, and others like
il, and reused the old passions of
the North to the point OF solidify-
ing it and defeating Hancock. God
help the Southern people! They
don't seem to have sense enough
to help themselves. and have no.
body else TO help them

DON'T BE snAY-For an old man, and one

DoST BE SIILY.-For an old man, and one
who stands well, and is reputed to have good
sense, the editor of the Oskaloosa Independent
can get off more Gstuff," can beg the question,
and can "pollyfox" around a question, in order
to make an opponent appear to mean something
that be doesn't, in order to have good hold to
answer him as-he pleases, more than any editor
we know Of. He does this with an item we re-
Gently published, in which We said were op-
posed to legislatins on the subject of mems ap-
petites, and proceeds to argue at Us on points
upon which We gave our views in full, but
few weeks ago. He gets of such stuff as, a man
has an appetite for nur,lrr, or for other crime,
and that We are therefore opposed 10 Iegislsi-
ing against crime, because men have appe-
tite for it. He also says that csnnibals have an
appetite for eating people, and that We are in
favor of canuibalisn. res he think such stuff
will convince anybody that The prohibitory
amendment should be adoptedf What other
wiseacre that ever lived, has argued that crime
is an appetite, as the term is gene rally applied
and understood. When we make use of words
and terms, we expect that sane people will un-
aerstsnd them in their general acceptstion, and
never deem it necessary to throw in dictiona
ry, to explain exactly what we mean. We are
certainly not in favor of prohibiting the manu-
facture and sale of ink, because the editor Of
the Independent makes such poor use Of it. In
stead Of prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of liquor, we are in favor of Furnishing those
who make it an abuse, and an auxiliary to crime.
We are in favor of license law, strictly grad
ed, and of Furnishing the men who violate it,
whether it be the seller or the drinker. II it is
claimed tha: the license law cannot be enforc-
ed, then Constitutional provision cannot be
enforced, and that is the end of it. Constitu-
tion is simply law, and cannot be enforced if
any other kind of law cannot. We want moth
ing of this prohibitory sort, and shall do our
best to defeat it.

MAIsE-Tbe Supreme Court of Maine has de-
cided all points submitted to it, emphatically in
favor of the Republican Legislature, which pro-
ceeded to elect Davis, Republican, Governor,
with full set of Republican Council and State
officers. They have possession of the Sta te
House, and will keep it. The Fusionists elected
Smith, Greenbacker, Governor, but he cannot
get anybody to recognize his authority. Garce-
Ion, as commander of the Militia, placed Gen.
Chamberlain in authority, and then deserted
the Capital, leaving others to fight out the
trouble he had caused. Chamberlain executed
his trust, recognized the Republican officers, af-
ter they produced lawful credentials, and then
quietly yielded his authority. Let it be remem-
bered that was the Democratic Governor who
placed the State Government in the hands of
TIE military, which did its duty faithfully, much
to the discontinue of the conspirators. They
have no right to squeal. The Republicans
"hold the fort" in Maine, and the Fusion usur-
patton will rapidly fall to pieces.
