pD- The Democratic Presidential
Electors at Large, nominated by the
State Convention-Hon. E. G. Cracraft
of Wheeling, and Hon. VIM. l.. VIII
son of this county-are able and fluent
speakers, and the Convention could not
have selected more eloquent expounders
of the cause. In fact the effort made
by Mr.. Wilson, in the nomination OF
the Hon. Charles James Faulkner, for
Governor, before the Convention, was
a mastery one, profound and impress
sive, giving full assurance that he IS
one of The rising men OF the age. His
delivery is also forcible and pleasant to
the audience as well as excitable and
entertaining.
Hon. James Morrow, Jr,, of Marion,
our District Elector, is also pleasant
and forcible speaker.

Ca A correspondent 10 the Wheel
Ing Register, speaking of affairs at the
late Democratic Congressional Conyen-
ton, and when Judge Hoge was mott
fed of his nomination, says;-
The next Congressman of this district
being called for, Hon. John b. Hoge
made his appearance, which was sig
nal for great applause. AS his large and
handsome old Roman form came to the
front, cheer after cheer went up. He
made an eloquent speech, thanking the
convention for the honor conferred up,
on him, and eulogizing his worthy COM
petitors. a regular ovation was ten
dered him after his speech, and every
body seemed as happy and well pleased
over his nomination as did the Demo
Gratis at Cincinnati when Hancock was
made leader of the party tor 1880.
Judge Hoge is one Of the ablest men in
the State, and will early, no doubt, oc-
cupy a seat in the front rank of the
statesmen at Washington.

baJ" OUR CONGRESSIONAL NoNlNA-
rIoN.-We agree with the Spirit Of
jefferson liz rcmarking that 'the noml-
nation of Judge John Blair IIoge for
Congress in this district is one, we take
it, that will meet with warm support.
The friends of Hon. 3. +. Martin,
Hon. ID. b. Lucas and Captain Brad
ford, each made a gallant fight, but
were worsted, and will abide the decis-
ion of the Convention and support the
nominee, " hose triumphant election is
assured. The friends of Mr.. Lucas
gave him q square, solid support,
through seven successive ballots, and
when the worst came to the worst,
cast the die in favor Of Judge Hoge, as
it was deemed that the nomination was
due to candidate east OF tho noun
tains. As the friend of Mr. Lncas, we
cannot forbcar mentioning and return
ing thanks TO those prominent friends in
other sections who took such an active
part and labored so asSiduously to give
him the nominatior-the gallant
Payne, of Preston; the old Democratic
warriors, Kercheval and Hlett, OF
Hampshire; the whole-sonled Sergeant,
of Barbour; and last, but not least, the
untlinching OSbouru, of Pocahontas,
who from first to last, as the sole repre-
sentative, cast the six votes of his coun-
ty solid for Mr. Lucas, and with the
Lucas men voted for and secured the
nomination of Judge Hoge. Many
Others, whom we cannot name, were as
unfinching in their devotion to Jeffer-
sons first choice, and in behalf of the
Jefferson delegation to Fairmont, We
return them most hearty thanks, and
ask, what we are sure will be given,
their cordial support OF the nominee,
lion. John Blair lioge."

An urgent appeal comes from oo roo
miah, Persia, for relief to starving. Inc
famine is increasing in severity. Hun,
dreds are dying daily in and around
Ooroomia for lack of food. Their dead
bodies lie unheeded in the streets, ana
are deyoured by furnishing dogs. Moth
ers maddeued by hunger, have been dis
covered eating their own children. The
horrible accounts which come from Fer,

Americans, who have enough to spare.

a fire broke out at the White Sulphur
Springs in the stables belonging to the
Springs Company, located some 400
wards west of the main hotel. There
were at the time forty six horses in the
stables, only two of which escaped.
Forly-tour horses, twenty OF which be-
longed TO the Springs Company,
and the remaining twenty-tour to

the result of carclessness on the part OF

A Doctors Mistake.

At some Of the more primitive Ger
man and Bohemian watering-places a
quaint old custom still prevails, in virtue
of which the resident medical men, or
bath-doctors, take up their stations every
morning at fixed hour, under particu.
lar trees, on the leading promenade of
their Bade Ort, so that their patients
may be enabled to make sure of finding
them for consultation and advice, at
particular time and in a particular place.
A good memory for faces is sine qua
non to these sons of 4Esculapius, who,
in the height of the season, frequently
"interview" from fifty to sixty invalids
apiece during these al fresco receptions.
Mistakes as to identity, however, will
occur, and sometimes result in singular
ly comical complications. Recently .one
of the most popular physicians at a
crowded Bade- Ort was visited under his
tree by an American gentleman, a re-
cent arrival, who complained that the
waters caused him such terrible head.
aches that he thought he had better
drop them and depart to other climes.
The doctor, unwilling thus prematurely
to lose his patient, looked him over hast
lily, and, perceiving that he wore thick
felt nibrero, told him ut was not the
waters that made his head ache, but his
unconscionably heavy hat" Swiftly the
American betook him to the nearest
halter, of whom he purchased straw
fabric so light as to be all but imponder-
able, and went on drinking the water as
before. His headache, however, grow
ing worse instead of leaving him he
again called upon his medical adviser a
few days later, and told him that his
head was still SO bad he really must try
some other cure. The doctor, who in
the meantime had forgotten all about
his previous prescription, and was as
reluctant as ever to let his patient de-
part, again cast d comprehensive glance
at him, and esPying his straw hat. ex-
claimed ' ~ ."
"You cannot expect to be free from
headache if you wear such a preposter-
ously light head-coyering. A man Of
your age, nearly bald, and in this hot
weather, must protect his head from the
suns rays by stout, solid hat"
The American gazed at his interloc
utor for few seconds in blank aStonish-
ment; then, after bowing profoundly,
he sardonically replied: ,,.m
"Thank you, doctor; am off to the
railway station" turned on his heel, and
departed. la.
