A HIsToRICAL RELIC.-Uncle Ma
than Jollif, of this county, has IN
his possession piece Of the identi-
cal shot-pouch made out of a piece
of the Indians hide that David
Morgan slew in mortal cambat a
hundred years ago. We gave an
account some months since from
Border Warfare Of Morgan's fight
with the Indians, and of his after
wards skinning them and making
saddle-seats and shot-pouches out
of their hides. Mr.. Jolliff secured
the piece of tanned Indian skin
from Mr.. Levi Low, an old gentle
man who now resides on Fishing
Creek, Wetzel county, this State
and at present ownerof the lllustrl-
Gus pouch.--Morga'toa0m Post.
Now there's relic as is a relic,
and well worth the consideration
Of a christian people. What a
splendid and appropriate contrlbu-
tion box it would make in which
to collect mission money to send
the blessed gospel of peace to the
"poor injuns."

Pass the Petitions.

In every column of every news
paper of the day, we are reminded
OF the urgent necessity of remoy-
ing forever the crime and disgrace
of the legalized destruction prevail
ing in our midst. Let US about the
business of removal at once. Let
the petitions be passed to every
voter.
We Gull a few of these many re-
minders:
1.-TWO young men made pitiable
exhibition of themselves on our
streets, Monday. They were fool
ishly and almost helplessly drunk,
and had to be taken to jail, where
they remained over night. We
suppress their names this time, in
hopes that they have learned a les
son that will do them good. Pres
ton Journal.
Let them sign the petition; twill
do them good.
For some time the illegal whisky
dealers of this place were held in
check by the corporate authorities,
butthe authorities and their friends
have not been very watchful for
some time, and the dealers have
taken advantage of it and are again
selling. The friends of temperance
and reform should go to work and
stop this traffic by enforcing the
law, if it can be done in this way.
Men who defy the law as some dc
in this place, should be looked upon
by law-abiding citizens as outlaws
and men unfit to live in decent
community, and should receive nc
encouragement and patronage, anc
be forced to live honorably and fol
low legal business for a living
Raleigh Lnder.
1t can't be done by trying to en-
force an unrighteous law. Let VI
have law that public conscience
will approve OF, and then the traffic
can be rapidly decreased, and final
lily suppressed. Cry alond for pro
hibition and pass the petitions

Wholesale LIQUOR SToRE.--A
Mr.. Mccormick, Of Wheeling, has
purchased the brick business house
of H. Criswell, Esq, on B street, and
intends soon opening out whole
sale liquor-store, for which our
town Council have granted Il Ii
cense. Some of our citizens are
censuriug our "town dads" severe
ly for granting the license, but UNI
less we are greatly mistaken it was
a good move and will have a ten
dency to decrease drunkenness in
our midst by Gripping some Of the
many saloons, &c.-NolmdsrjLe Re
porter.
O my! What an argument! But
then it's as good as any they've
got. One saloon, licensed, decreases
drunkenness by drawing the drunk
trade from another saloon. That's
whisky logic. Your citizens ought
to censure your town dads" They
are not fit to be "dads" in a Hotten-
tot Harem. No council is worthy
the name or place that grants IL
cense against the protest of the
people and the peoples commits
siOners.

Qui VS.. yive.


In the columns of the West Varoin-
"a Radical appeared a communica-
ton from "Qui," favoring a return
to the Ubiquitous system of licens-
ing the liquor-traffic in Mason
county, in which the same old non
sensical arguments of putting the
business into responsible" hands
and holding the dealers to a strict
account, of regulating" and "con-
trolling under license: and all that
sort of stuff, were set forth.
"Vlve" comes back at "Qui" in
the radical after this fashion. We
give the closing part of the letter:
But what is supremacy ludicrous
IN his reasoning is the remedy he
proposes-which is to license this
crime.
Now, would licensing it make
1t any better? He might as
well argue for license to murder.
to steal, to commit adultery, or any
other crime on the statute books.
because men do 50 when they have
no license. There is Just as much
good sense in licensing them as a
means of preventing them, as to
license the sale of rum to prevent
It's evil consequences. And the
case cited here of the willful and
determined violation of law, is but
an example of the defiant spirit en-
gendered under the license law, and
the milk-and-water way of enforc-
ing the law, coupled with per-
verified public sentiment on the
question. And there is no other
remedy for this growing evil but
prohibition thoroughly enforced
and the offenders made to know
that the majesty of the law must
and shall be maintained. If the
sale Of intoxicants is wrong, then
we have no right to license a wrong,
and if it is right, then why place
men under restrictions, heavy pen
alties and license, and require OF
them large revenues to carry on a
business that is right, while their
neighbors do business free? He
says, "Prohibition has been fail
ure, a sham, a cheat and a mockery
to laws" l say the license system
has been a worse failure, a burning
shame to our system Of laws, moral
as well as civil, and a foul stain on
our statute.
While our friend finds this deter
mined violation Of law i'll the com
munity referred to, by a few lawless
persons, many communities have
been relieved of the great scourge Of
saloons, and peace order and law
prevails. He proposes as a remedy
to grant license and then demand
that the law be obeyed." Why not
demand that it be obeyed without
license? The majesty Of the law
can certainly be maintained more
easily by prohibiting an evil and
furnishing the offender than by Ii
censing it, and taking the mans
money and then prosecuting him
for doing what you licensed him to
do. Nay, my friend, Prohibition is
the base of all law, and for the VIC
lation of which man may be pun
ished. Prohibition isthe only sure
road to peace and harmony on this
great question. THE mills of the
gods grind Slow" but Prohibition
will come on rum as in all other
questions in the criminal code, de-
spite all its apologists. WYE.

SUNDAY LAWS MUST AND SHALL BE
OBSERVED IN THIS CITY.
It is well known that for a long
time there has been in existence
an ordinance by which u saloon
keepers license can be revoked
upon his second conviction for a
violation Of selling liquor on Sun
day, This ordinance has been held
in very light estimation by many
who are in the saloon business in
this town. Indeed, it has almost
been regarded as a dead letter, but
BY the action of the Council last
night it will be seen that it is not,
and it is thought that hereafter,
back door business on Sunday will
be conducted more carefully. The
communication below will explain
itself:

A Monster Engine.

From the Detroit Post and Tribune.
The Calumet and Hecla Company
have an engine on the ground ready
to be set up, the maximum power Of
which Is a, 700 horse power. The
weight Of the engine alone is 100, 600
pounds. There are two cylinders, one
of five feet ten inches In diameter, the
other three feet six inches, The large
one weighs ~ tons, the smaller 81, 61e
pounds. The walking-beam, weighs
40,sS0 pounds. the shaft and crank
20, 900 pounds. These figures will
give something Of an idea what it is
like. This engine cost 500, 600, and
is probably the largest stationary en-
gine In the world. In comparison with
the great Corliss engine Of Centennial
nOtoriety, the great Calumet would
rank as much above the Corliss as the
Corliss did over the ordinary engine.
The Corliss is, ! believe, 1000 horse
power, the Calumet A, TOO maximum,
$500 minimum horse power. This
large engine will be used to operate
the Calumet mine, and furnish power
