II is now statei on gool sathori-,
~ that the members Of the Legisla>
ture can not draw pay beyond the
one hundred days which is specified
for . session. The law provides foi
paying members $40 day for a
session OF 100 days, but it is alleged
that there is no Authority and pro.
vision made for their payment dur.
ing the extra Fifty days which cus-
tom and their pecuniary Interests
have sanctioned. Under the New
Constitution the 100 days will OK :.
pire on the 18th Of April or there.
abouts aud it is not likely that the
Legislature will continue in session
in case the members cannot draw pay
any longer.

Last fall number OF English
Commissioners came to this country

to continue. Now comes another
set Of Commissioners from distant
Hungary upon the same quest.
The farmers there fnd it more diff

II lies east Of this city was thrown
into intense excitement and despair
by the sudden death Of an only
daughter. Miss Minnie Rail. 16
years Of age. The young lady was
in the parlor at the time in company
with Charles Gray. her affiancer. 1t
seems from the statement OF Mr.
Gray, wbich'was given with broken
sobs and tears, that thei two were
seated on lounge and he was urg-

arrived within an hour. But moth

the opinion Of the physician that
heart disease WAS the immediate

frail and delicate. and had long com.

The excitement incident to her con-

More Railroad Talk.

Articles of incorporation Of the
Richmond, Toledo and Chicago Rail
road Company were left with our
County Clerk for record last week.
Its title is calculated to mislead the
public as to its Importance to the
people Of this portion of the Valley.
Three routes are designated, either
one of which the company may here
after select, but all start "at a point
on the Ohio River, in the county
of Mason" and run along the
Great Kanawha and New Rivers;
or to a point at or near, or opposite
st. Adams, then up Coal River; OF
up the Kanawha to the mouth Of
Paint Creek, thence over to New
River, the object being to connect
the Ohio and West Virginia Railroad,
which is now complete to Gallipolis
and Pomeroy, with the Richmond
and Allegheny Railroad, which will
soon be completed from Richmond to
Clifton Forge. Both these latter
companies, it is slyly minated, are
backing the new corporation with
the necessary funds. The incorpor'
ators Of the Richmond, Toledo and
Chicago are: J. J. Bright and D. H.
Willard, of Point Pleasant; J. L.
Mclean, of Windfeld; A. Burlew, Of
Charleston; J. Eugene Dana, of Nal,

Baltimore Gazette: Pastor Kendall
ofBrooklyn, has found Il way by which
needy persons can live on a dollar q

menu for Tuesday as follows: "a
quarter pound Of bread, l cent; one
half ounce Of butter, cent; one-hall
pound Of oatmeal, q cents; one-halI
pint of milk, 2 cents, and one.hal
pound of meat, q cents" This
makes a grand total of expenditures
as for one day of 8 cents. On Sun,
day, if the economist desires to re.
vel in luxuries, he might have a
cents worth of bread; quarter pound
Of mutton, 2 cents; 3 cents wortl.
baked potatoes; two cups Of coffee,
cent; corn cake, q cents" A total Of
8! cents. Henry Ward Beecher once
asserted that a man with a family
ought to live royalty on a dollar a
day, and incurred the enmity OF
workingmen generally. What will
the latter gay to Pastor Kemball's
proposition?
