ORIOLE OBSERVATIONS.
I'm BaltlsnSE4nndC Ger
tainty of such q u - we
Before had AnywHeres

The busy notes Of preparation are
heard on all sides in Baltimore, and
the Oriole will prove an event, the
equal of which in brilliancy, splen-
dor and extent was never known in
this country. From Monday morn.
ing to the wee. small hours of Wednes-
day night, there win be one constant
succession of brilliant spectacles.
The pageant Tuesday night the l1th,
will be dazzling in the extreme. The
floats upon which the tableaux will
be shown are of unusually large di
nensions, being placed upon railroad
trucks and run over the line of march
upon street car tracks. This enables
the construction of the tableaux upon
a very large scale, and insures so
steady and solid transit as to afford
almost no end of opportunity for dis
play. Not only will the line ofmarch
be illuminated from one end to the
other, but the entire city will be
lighted by electric, calcium and 9TH
or lights. 1t will indeed be such a
night that will live in memory for
wears to come. The decorations
throughout the city will of themselves
be worthy of journey to look upon.
Baltimore demonstrated her great
taste in this line at the Susqui Cen
tennial last year, and the improve
ments she will make this year will
surprise all. Everybody appears to
be interested in the event and Oriole
is the talk of the town. The munic-
ipal authorities viii make the recep-
ton to the distinguished French
men the most noteworthy ofany that
will be rendered them during their
stay in this country. The most
brilliant festivities will he inaugural
ed in their honor, and the grand ball
and carnival with which the three
days will end promises to eclipse all
previous attempts at such sort of
thing anywhere in the country. Ev-
cry care will be taken by the b. d O..
to provide the best Of accommodation
for the transportation Of the immense
crowds which will go from the line
or the road to Baltimore. The eX-
cecdingly low rate of one-half the
usual fare proves very popular, as
also the ten days limit on the tick
cts.

ALLERroN, Iowa.


ALLERroN, Iowa.
Ed. New DOMINION, Morgantown,
w. Val have been thinking for
some time past that would like to
drop my old friends in w. Va. a
short letter through the columns of
your paper.
Ihave been here since May 9th,
last.
This little town of eight years
growth and near a thousand inhabi-
tants, is situated on the South Branch
of the Chicago, Rock Island \ PACT
fic r. r., five miles from the county
seat. 1t is composed Of half dozen
groceries, one furniture, two drug,
two clothing, four dry goods and
three hardware stores. also one jew
elry shop, two shoe shops, two mar
BILE shops and three blacksmith shops
two first class hotels and one board.
ing house, two restaurants and ono
bakery; two town halls; two livery
stables, and three saloons---thesc
form the five business districts---five
churches, two of which were built
this summer; also large creamery
in the suburbs, and many neat and
comfortable village homes have been
built this season.
Occasionally ! meet West Vir-
ginian, some of these are from old
Monongalia; among whom were T.
+. Baldwin, James Kasey and Ham
POLAND.
The summer was very dry: water
in some localities, became quite an
object. 1t is reported that some
farmers drove their stock four or five
miles to water. For many days in
succession in July and August tho
thermometer is said TO have indicated
from 30 to ITO degrees. Had it not
been for the constant breeze that II
nearly always tipping the broad
brimmed hats, out door work could
not have been performed.
Owing to the drought corn will no,
exceed half the usual yield. Every
thing but labor is high, and still get
ting higher. Those who have to de
pend on daily labor for bread will, In
all probability, see hard times the
coming winter.
Wages for teaching public schools
are liberal(? p, $50 and $35 per month
being offered. Nearly all of The
directors want first class teachers, Of
which very few are to be had.
The northwest wind brought a few
flakes OF snow on the 18th inst, al
though we are having fine weather
now.
Few "prairie schooners" are seer
steering westward.
Thanks to Mr.. John Laird, of ole
Vaudeville, for his prompt reply
John is one ofmy kind, good hearted
social schoolmates. We have spen,
many happy schooldays together
John enjoys the company Of ladies
very much, and If one of Mononga
LAS fair daughters would but hint a
the connubial state, would have on,
friend less, l fear. 1t affords mi
much pleasure when reflect upor
our fond associations while attend
ing the West Virginia University
Our school days surely are our hap
piest days.
Will send more interesting let
ter in the future. j. c. M.

In0Sc VINO are unacQualnted WIN
the minutie of journalistic manage
ment, can form little idea Of the
amount Of mental and physical labor
necessarily expended in the publica-
ton OF even the most common place
journal.
When Mr.. Jones opens at his
breakfast table the regular weekly
edition of the local newspaper to
which he is a .condescending subscri-
Der, and amalgamntes the latest quo
tations Of wheat, corn and cattle, with
his ham and eggs; or sandwiches
"A cold blooded murder" between his
try toast and Johnny cake, he does
not stop and reflect as TO how and by
what Ito him unknown means
these news items are furnished for
his qualification. Nc, he reads on,
and cats on, until mentally and phys
ically convinced that he has had
enough; then he arises from the ia
bic and casts from him the paper,
with the remark, "there's nothing in
it." He seldom thinks 1t worth while
to comment upon the good quality of
anything he reads, nor does it occur
to him that it cost great deal, in
time, labor and anxiety to prepare the
paper which he so hurriedly con
cludes "has nothing in it."
Few know the woes of an editor.
Scarcely does he enter his office in the
morning, when his ears are assailed
with cry of "copy, sir" which is
generally followed up by series of
very pointed inquiries about "those
proofs" and "revises," which he is
supposed to have carefully read and
corrected on the night previous, when
the rest of creation were snugly en-
sconced in their beds. Nor is this
all; for while he is vainly trying to
determine which of these demands
shall first receive his attention, W
steps "comp." with page of hero
glyphics which he is unable to deci
pher, and demands an explanation Of
the various 'jaw- breakers" by which
he is puzzled. And to these several
Interruptions by anxious customers
who have called to see about that
"littlc job" &c, &C., and the reader
can form mcagre idea of a few oil
the duties involved in publishing a
country newspaper, apart from the
care of providing suitable reading
matter for our readers.
And here is where the greatest diff
ficulty lies. For any one mortal to
hattcr himself with the notion that he
can please any considerable number
of his readers without at the same
time mourning the displeasure ofper.
haps an equal number of others
would be to acknowledge his unfit
ness for the calling. With such a
diversity of tastes embracing every
style and character, from the most
sublime to the most ridiculous it is
an utter impossibility to please all.
| Hence, we deem it expedient to in
innate to the intelligent and sensible
reader, that he should not be too has
ty in denouncing articles of char
acter not agreeable to him, but TO re-
member that somebody is interested
in that very article. And to those
whose ideas are less elevated we
would mildly hint; If you don't like
the style of any article, don't attempt
to read. Give it the cold shoulder
and pass it by in silent contempt
and above all, remember that you are
not the only individual who reads the
paper, and that what you dislike 9th
ers may relish.

MORGANTowN w. VA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1884,


memphis Appeal
Mr.. Robert James, who arrived in
this city from Chicot county, tells of
horrifying incident which he stated
had just taken place in that county.
A farmer returning at noon from the
field, while passing through the yard
discovered his little boy sitting near
the fence with one end of what seem
ed to be d leather strap in his mouth
while with both hands he held the
strap near the middle. The father
was Mortified to find that the child
held snake and the snaks squirmed
but the little fellow pulled and closed
his mouth as tightly as though he
was going to bite off the serpent's
head. The father seized the child
and tore the snake from his hands
The snake was of the black
species and though not poisonous,
might have wound its body around
the boy and choked him to death.
This would seem to settle the old dis
pute as to whether or not a human
beings fear of n snake is innate or
the result of education. 1t may have
been that the child was teething and
wanted something to bite, and in the
absence Of rubber or painted stick,
adopted the snake as substitute.
Those who naturally feel IAN inter
est rs to the fate of the snake may
rest assured that it was killed.

Dead Heading ON the Press.


Dead Heading ON the Press.
The popular idea that newspaper
people are deadheads is very popu-
lar error. There is no interest on
earth that is expected to and actually
does give so much to society without
pay as the press. Instead of being
dead heads newspapers are the vic
Tins of dead heads. Not day pass
esbut they are imposed upon by the
public. Every publisher in this or
any other town will bear us out in
what we say. AS matter of fact
the editor endures more genuine dead
heading than any other man in the
world. The pulpit, the bar, the dra-
ma, religious and charitable societies,
financial and industrial corporations,
everybody who is anything, or expects
so be anything is leech upon the
liberality Of the press. A fellow
gives to the editor pass to twenty
five cent show, and then expects ten
dollars worth of advertising. A weak
enterprise is sought to be established
and the press is called upon to give
it strength and encouragement. A
preacher wants free putting, and a
civilian asks the press to
make him popular. An actor be
comes the EDITORS mortal enemy,if the
man of Fabers does not bestow upon
him dollars and dollars Of free adver-
Using. The dull author expects the
press to say he is live and entertain
ing. The quack considers it the news
papers duty to say he is honorable
and skilled. The editor is one to
whom FOOLS look to give them talents,
knaves to give them respectability,
the guilty to give them cloaks of in
nocence, frauds to hide their roguery,
and swindlers to cover up their cheat
ing; the vain expect to be extolled
by the press as q thing to be imposed
upon at will. A thing from which
every one is in duty bound to get all
he can and return as little as posi-
BILE. A small souled man will give
the press five dollar advertisement
and then consider himself cheated
| if the editor does not write him twen-
ty-fve dollars worth of editorial no.
tices. 1t is about time this sort of
thing was stopped, and for the peo-
pie to understand that the press is
not dead head but the chief victim
of dead beats. A newspaper gets
nothing that purports to come gratu-
itously, that it does not pay for four
fold, and it gives much in true chart
ty that people earnestly think they
pay for.
