Eloquent and Satisfactory.

In his speech in the House on
the Railroad Bill, Delegate Lowry
capped the climax of eloquence, and
gave West Virginians a satisfactory
peep into the origin Of our beloved
States marvellous resources. Here's
how he went about it:
"There is a legend to this effect
When the Almighty created the
World he determined to distribute
the mineral all over the face of his
footstool. In India, Brazil and S.
Africa he deposited precious dia-
mond8. In California, Asia and
Australia he deposited gold. In
Peru, Colorado and Mexico he
deposited silver. In England,
Russia and Pennsylvania he deposi-
ted coal and iron, and in the even
ing Of the sixth day Of creation,
while the new sun was setting in a
gorgeous bank of clouds in the
West, the Almighty, tired from His
day Of labor, stopped for a moment
to rest upon the top of one of West
Nirginia's highest mountains, and
in turning round, his arm struck
his ba sket of minerals and it was
overturned, scattering it's contents
broadcast over the whole of West
Virginia, thereby making the rich
est State in the Union" Applause.
