Died, in this place, on Monday the 9th
inst, lie lia Virginia, only daughter Of
Edward f, and Rosalio A. Barnes, aged
year, months, and 10 days. From
her birth she was great sufferer, and
this fact secured for her our tenderest
pity and love, and const ituted her the
object Of uncel3ing wa tchfulness and
care. BY her winning ways, affection
ate caresses and sweet baby prattle, she
had so entwned herself about our hearts
that when the death angel darkened our
home with his presence, and bore the
darling Of the household to the Spirit
Land, we realized the truth of the poets
words, cts Che survivor dies" Our
darling is not dead; she only sleeps,
May God grant each one ofus grace to-
day from orr hearts, at Is the Lord, let
Him dc what scemeLh to Him good"

The Circus,

Old John Robinson can always get q
crowd at Bristol, but the one he will
draw here next Monday will eclipse any
ever seen in S. w. Va. In all the old
departments the show Is the largest ever
seen here. But its new features are
both plenty aud superb, The electric
light alone will repay Il long trip by
wagon road. This is the acme Of scien-
tinc discovery; the brightest gem in the
crown of science. The Telephone and
monograph will both be exhibited and
in much finer perfection than heretofore.
Old John gets much of his popularity
from having gentlemen about him,
Good order and genteel behavior are adj
mirablc, and these are always TO 90 seen
Mt Old Johns circus. Lolo the clown
will be there, and Dance the inimitalle
and side splitting clown will be there,
and finally, the editor Of the Necs does
not mean TO be away.

TWAIN'S TRAVELS.
HE SEES AN ALPINE SUNRISE

We heard his horn, and instantly
we got up. 1t was dark and cold and
wretched. As l tumbled around for
the matches, knocking things down
with my quivering hsnds, wished the
sun would rise in the middle Of the
day, when it was warm and cheerful,
and one wasn't sleepy. We proceeded
to dress by the gloom of couple Of
sickly candles, but we could hardly
button anything, our hands shook SO.
l thought of how many happy people
there were in Europe, Asia and Amer
lea, and everywhere, who were sleep
ing peacefully in their beds, and did
not have to get up to see the Regi sun
people who did not appreciate
their advantages, as like as not, but
would get up in the morning wanting
more boons Of Providence. While
thinking these thoughts | yawned, in
a rather ample way, and my upper
teeth got hitched on nail over the
door, aud while | was mounting chair
to free myself, Harris drew the win
dow curtain and said
20, this is luck. We shan't have to
go out at all-yonder are the noun
tains in full view"
That was good news, indeed. 1t
made me cheerful right away One
could see the Alpine masses dimly out
lined against the black firmament, and
one or tive stars blinking through riffs
in the night. Fully clothed and
wrapped in blankets, we huddled our
selves up by the window with lighted
pipes, and fell into chat, while we
waited in exceeding comfort to see
how an Alpine sunrise was going to
look by candIe-light. By and by a
delicate, spiritual sort of effulgence
spread itself by imperceptible degrees
over the lofliest attitudes of the snowy
wastes; but there the effort stopped.
| said presently:
There's hitch about this sunrise
somewhere. 1t doesn't seem to 20.
What do you reckon is the matter with
it?"
q don't know. 1t appears to hang |
fire somewhere. l never saw a sunrise
act like this before. Can it be that
the hotel is playing anything on US p
''Of course not. The hotel only has
q proper interest in the sun; it has
nothing to do with the management Of
it. 1t is precarious kind Of proper
ty, too; succession of total eclipses
would probably ruin this tavern Now,
what can be the matter with the sun
rise?'
Harris jumped up and said:
"l've got it. know what's the mat
ter with it-we've been looking at the

Helen Arnold sat at the piano, sing
ing softly, and touching the keys light
ly; and Lillian played with the baby.
and laughed at her cunning ways one
minute-the next, looked out of the
window, and fretted at Johns delay.
"Dear me, I don't see why he
doesn't come! !" and she went to the
window for the fiftieth time and had
almost begun to imagine something
dreadful had happened, when she sud
denly whirled round with a cry of de-
light.
Il was looking at a beautiful pic
ture, said John, in the doorway; and
AS she sprang forward he caught her
in his arms and gave return for the
caresses she shove cred upon him. Be,
fore she had time to think of Helen,
baby set up a cry Of delight too, of
course. She was such a knowing
child; and her frightened mamma
took her up, and talking sweet baby

sery After she was quieted and pet
ted little, she was left with Susan,
and Lillian ran down to the drawing
room to see .'daar old John" wonder
ing all the time if he would be polite
to Helen.
"Good gracious!" This was all she
said as she opened the door. aghast.
What do you suppose she saw? There
was John, brown, handsome John, sit
ting on the sofa, smiling, and appar-
emily very happy; and Helen Ar

about it, and added:

from his sister to look at the lovely

and paler than when he saw her last,
