The last official statement of the con-
dition of the National banks, issued on
May from the otace Of the Comptroller
of Currency, presents one or two fea-
lures which are just beginning to attract
attention. The total amount OF United
States bonds on deposit to secure the
circulation OF National banks is given at
Ssh 1884, 900. According to the law only
ninety per cent. ofthe amount OF these
bonds is allowed to be i$sned in National
bank notes. But the same report states
the amount of National bank circulation
outstanding as $685. $50, over $685.
100000 in excess Of the ninety per cent.
allowed 10y law, and very near the total
amount of the bonds deposited. Con.
gressional inquiry will be directed to
tins matter at the FIRST opportunity.

INVITE THEM WEST VIRGINIA


On the 3Oth day OF the present month
the American Institute OF Mining En-
gineers vii, begin its spring session in
Staunton, Virginia.
There is more significance in this event
than may appear at first thought.
In the first place the Institute is com.
posed Of a body Of scientific men Of
worldwide reaOwn, and it is always re-
garded as not only an honor to enter
tain them, bat also a very important
event in it, relation 20 the mineral in
terests OF any locality selected for hold
ing their conventions.
Il is upon the scientific knowledge
and judgment OF these engineers that
the large iron plants are made, and it ia
confidently expected by Nirginians that
the report which they will make will be
the basis for the investment of millions
of dollars by Northern capitalists in
their territory.
This is the first time, we believe, that
this body OF men have ever held one of
their regular sessions within the bound
aries OF the NirgiGias, and the fact affords
additional proof that the attention
OF the country is very largely turning
toward the mjns raj resources OF our Sec
ton. The capital which the old State Is
attracting is surprise even to her own
citizens. 1t is stated that in Allegany
county, within the last few years, over
S2,OOO,0O have been invested, and &c
corling 20 a Staunton paper, fifteen
years ago, 100000 would have bought
out the whole county, clock, stock and
barrel"
The boom which Virginia is having in
her mineral resources only furnishes
amp,e demonstration that West Nir-
ginia can and should have like general
interest in her resources as well as a
large share Of the capital seeking such
investments. We can have il if We inn
prove our opportunities.
The visit Of the Institute OF Engineers
may be made the entering wedge that
will open up our resources 70 the a.ten-
ton Of the world to a larger degree than
ever before. As we have said, the opin-
ions ard reports Of this body are made
the basis of investments by capitalists,
more confidently than any other source
of information. Their sessions are not
confined merely to dry discussion of
scientific facts but they make it part OF
their business to explore the country in
the locality where they sit, and make re-
port upon its resources. They will
make excursions through the upper
Shenandoah Valley and adjacent min
eral sections. and will come into West
Virginia, probably, as far, at least, as to
examine the section along the Chesa-
peake 4 ONO railroad.
II our people have their eyes open
and appreciate this opportunity, they
will decoy them into more than one sec.
ton of our State sad thus obtain some
free, but exceptionally valuable adver-
tisement, through their report.

TIE Democrats have shown their ap'

ate trade by sending fifty thousand
copies of it to South Carolina. This Is
what Mr.. Frye wants; he is anxious to
have the Solid South, and his speech
will keep it so il anything can. North
ern radicals swallow the speech because
il feeds their sectional fanaticism. In
the South it makes Democratic votes
because il is known to be incorporate,
false and malignant.

THE MAHONEITE NOMINEEs.-The
ticket looks to us as if manufactured by
the Boss of the political shebang, and it
is hard for any Democrat to tell which
one of the three candidates is most OBJ
jectionable, the head, tail or middle.
All of the nominees are tarred with
the same stick all are in perfect accord
in their hatred to the Democratic party
of Virginia, and form trinity of dema-
gogues emphatically of the genus politi-
cal best described as chameleon.
1t is not, however, our business to
find fault with the Malone faction, who
have sworn to destroy the Democratic
party of our State, because they have
nominated men for office whose objec-
tive points are inconsistency, or whose
present theories are absurd. and utterly
unreconcilable with the best interests OF
our people.
This is what this faction has done and
we know of no political trio which bet.
ter deserves defeat, and none which will
in our opinion more certainly be de-
feated, than these mongrel nominees.
No ticket can be elected in Virginia
whose central figure is rabid, radical
Republican. This will suffice to keep
the true Democracy from giving it their
support, while the no less radical south
ern views formerly held by those who
represent the head and tail of the ticket
will not cause the Republican party to
give them their endorsement or sup
port.
Left to their own. faction, the doom of
the ticket is sealed beyond a question.
The Democracy of our State have now
a grand opportunity for victory. Organ
ization is its keynote and should be ef-
fectively pressed until the victory is
won.

ccount of his weak. digestion. After

account of his weak digestion. After
breakfast there were more lessons
hard, dry, dreary lessons, accompanied
with much rebuke. There was French
master, and a dancing master, and .
writing master, and a fencing master
there was a music master also, and
don't know. how many besides. Poor
Johnny's head was very, very bad be.
tore dinner-time; it seemed to him to
be made up of plates of red-hot iron
welded together with boiling lead.
Dinner! Only one dish-roast mutton
"a piece of stale bread and glass of
water! Oh how Johnny yearned for
hunk of bread and cheese and slice OF
onion. There were more lessons after
dinner, and after that-the pony. But
by this time Johnny was SO sick and
weary he begged hard that he might be
allowed to 60 to bed. Mr.. Sterne could
not hear of it. So he mounted the
white pony, saw little girl, as tired as
himself, on a cream colored pony, was
escorted by servants in gold and colors,
and felt most miserable.
As Johnny rode by the pastures where
| es WAS wont to take care of the sheep,
ne saw his own very self looking, oh
80 happy, among the sheep, with old
'Brownie'-that was the dog-fun OF
his gambols. What would he not have
given to jump off the pony's back and
be himself again, but he could not do it f!
AS he rode on he began to say to. him
self, why should I be shut up in big
house, and made to do this and that and
the other? why-ah, I wish, and
then he fell into reverie.
When the ride was over he went back
| +bo ~~rook ho,,co opd NTH tho LITTLE
lady who had ridden with him, was
ushered into state room, where q lot Of
gentlemen in white waistcoats were eat
ing fruit and drinking wine. He had
to stop there for almost half an hou1
without speaking q word, and was re
called with one small bunch of grapes
At the end of the half hour he was taken
away by Mr.. Sterne, in whose presence
he partook of cup of milk and Watel
with piece of dry toast. Then he was
sent to bed, as miserable boy as coule
have been found within the four seas.
, In his sleep came the fairy to him.
Mortal child are you pleased with th'

oh no, good fairy-let me be my OWL
