THE FLITT1NG OF THE BIRDS.

WHIsTLED the Black bird to his mate,
IL think we had better go, dear;
Showers of gold and purple leaves,
Fields that are brown, and yellow sheaves,
Tell of the coming snow, dear:
think We had better go, dear"
Queried the Catbird, fretful still,
Must we SO soon be leaving?
Trouble we had to build our nest,
When shall we ever take our rest?
Oh, how my heart is grieying!
Must we so soon be leaving?'
Piped then the Blackbird light and gay,
Long I'll not be rover;
Sunshine will follow days of gloom;
After the snow how soon will bloom
Daisies and purple clover!
Long I'll not be a rover ..
Chirruped the Sparrow on spray

Wheeling has a population Of 81, COO
S.cubenville population OF $4,000. The
value OF the real estate in the city OF
Wheeling, 1880, is 1885. $50, while the
Salue OF tho real estate in Steubenville lor
tho same year Is So, $40 500 So that stsu-
benyiIlc, il not so popuious, in propor-
lion to the number Of inhAbitanta, is q
city Of much greater wealth than Wheel
lng.-SsubsnsiLle Pres.
Everything depends on the valueYou
sci on property. Wheeling, for instance,
has Two TaIuations-one for the State and
county and another for the city. Last year
our city valuation OF real estate Was slO,-
ISL, ,33l. We have not this years valua-
lion at hand, but it cannot we'll be less.
This valuation gives ua per capita OF real
estate ownership OF $S9s, while steuben.
,ille only shows 1928 per capita. The
trouble with our State and county valua'
lions ia that they do not follow the same
dividing lines OF territory as the wards Of
the city, and therefore 1t ia hard 10 com
pare them; but It is plain enough from the
above showing that steubenvile is not q
place ct greater wealth per capita than
Wheeling, unless her personal property
makes up the deficit.

Some'SiIIy Rumora and some Other Ones,
In Connection with Il aud Secretary
Shermau.
WASHINGTON, November 1s.-The letter
OF Secretary Sherman to Captain Myers,
Of the Columbus DhpaIeh, reafiirming his
determination to make the race for the
senstorship, has been the subject ola good
deal Of talk to-day. Following as closely
rs II does on the heels OF the epistle to
DsIzsll, It has set people to thinking and
has given rise to the opinion that, in spite
OF all the talk there has been Of Sherman's
being retained in the Cabinet, he has no
hopes in that direction. The reasoning
on which this conclusion Ia based Is that,
there being no doubt OF sherman's pref.
erence for the Cabinet position, he HIM
self having expressed such preference,
the fact OF his eagernese TO notify the peo.
pie OF his State that he Is Senatorial can
didate must be looked upon as convincing
tention In his present position.
A very silly rumor has been ahost here
that one Of the objects Of General GarReld's
couluR VlSlt Is W sec CueIMsu huu uueL
him the position oi Secretary Of the Treas
ury in his (GaItield's) Cabinet. About on
par with this Is the statement that the
object sought to be attained by Sherman
in writing such letters az he Is doing TO
friends 10 Ohio is TO scare General Gar
field into guaranteeing him retention in
his present position BY alarming him as
to the chances tor the Senate Of his friend
Foster. Thoae who circulate this state.
ment go on the hypothesis that General
Garfield is anxious to see Foster sent to
the Senate.
Senator Thurman, who has been here
for several days, in an interview last
night about the Ohio Senatorial muddle,
said be did not think tho Legislature could
elect his successor till after the ith OF
