The Debt Paid.

The State Journal chronicles the
following, and now may we not
hope to have a rest on the debt
question?
During the Yorktown trip Gov
Jackson perpetrated joke that is
too good to be lost. Some one of the
Governors party, in conversation
with the Hon. John Paul, member
of Congress from the Rockingham
District, told the gentleman, in a
spirit of mischievousness, that the
Governor Of w. Va, was present,
and had come prepared to settle and
pay off West Virginia's share of the
debt. Soon afterward Mr. Paul, who
is Republican, ard the Governor
were introduced. 81 understand"
said Mr.. Paul, "that you have come
prepared to settle the vexed ques-
ton of the public debt now existing
between the two States. Under the
circumstances you are most well
come, | can assure you" eyes,"
said the Governor, who scented the
| job that had been set up, and took
in the situation, 81 have come
down all the way from Wheeling,
with a special train, and have
brought the Treasury along with
me, and am prepared to pay our
share Of the Virginia State debt. Here
it is" and the Governor passed over
two one dollar bills on the old State
Bank Of Virginia, that went up the
same time the Confederacy did.
"Never mind the change" said the
Governor, as Mr.. Paul in blank
amazement, finally saw the point
and "tumbled" to it with hearty
glee

Temperance Meetings Broaddats Col-
lege-Buckhanmon Academy-May-
or of Weston Us. Whisky, &c., &c.

An interesting quarterly meet
ing was held at Smithton, for the
U. B. Church, Oct. 10Th. The peo-
pie are kind and somewhat spiritu-
al, but they do not seem to have a
great variety of tunes, or else Or
tonville is a special favorite.
On Monday night an excellent
Temperance meeting was held in
the Baptist church, at Clarksburg.
Bro. Quarles presided well, very
well.
A permanent committee was APP
pointed, and Immediately after the
meeting closed, the committee held
a session and arranged for District
organizations.
1t was my pleasure to be the
guest of President Willis, Of Broad
dus Female College. A grand work
is being done here for the young
womanhood of our State. The
many kindnesses of Bros. Willis
and Quarles will always be remem-
bered.
The Academy at Buckhannon
was under careful consideration by
the Board, and a plan adopted and
an architect employed to prepare
drafts and estimates. Ninety per
cent. of the money needed has been
secured.
A good Temperance meeting was
held on the night of Oct 10Th, and
a permanent organization was eff
fected.
Last Saturday was a field day for
the saloonists at Weston. Many
young men were half-drunk. One
saloon that was largely patronized
by young men had the following
unique sign: elephant Lemonade.
Tidal Wave Saloon"
The few saloons in Weston are
doing fearful work among the
Young men of Lewis county.
As matter Of course a young
man loses all true self-respect when
he crosses the Threshold Of a saloon
to buy rum.
By request, an address on the life
and character of President Garfield
was delivered last Sunday near
Weston. A large audience was
present, and a good degree of inter
est was manifested. The address
was intended for the benefit Of
young men, and the Importance
of character, industry, good habits
and noble aim was enforced.
West Union is in some trepida-
ton arising from the fact that the
Mayor is enforcing the law against
the unlawful selling of intoxicants
The whole county seems to be in
terested in the contest going on.
There is possibility in this case
that prohibition will prohibit.
There are no Licenses granted in
this county except to druggists.
The law-abiding citizens should
see to it that the unlawful places
are closed. This can be done most
effectually when the people so will.

DON'T TALK LoUDLY.-Nothing
marks true gentleman or lady
more surely than low voice, and a
man can have it as well as a wo-
man. A loud voice either arises
from extreme carelessness, or from
low breeding. No one likes to walk
beside person on the street who
talks in a loud voice. The same
rule applies to boys and girls. Play
is one thing and conversation quite
another, though the former need
not be boisterous. Children may
have good lungs, and use them in
cheering when the right time
comes; but when they talk, a low,
distinct voice marks one accustom-
ed to good society, and possessed of
innate refnement.-E.

OFFICIAL BULLETINS.
6 80 p. NJ.


Since the last bulletin was issued the
President has been moved from Washing
ton to Long Branch. He was more rest
less than usual last night, being evidently
somewhat excited by the anticipations OF
the journey. This morning at 80 his
pulse was 11S; temperature, 1913; respi-
ration, IS. We ]elt Washington with the
President at $50 A. NJ. Owing to the adj
mirable arrangements made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad Cympany and the inge-
niously arranged bed designed by T. N.
Ely, the fatigue incident to transportation
was reduced to a minimum. Neverthe-
less, as was anticipated, some signs of
disturbance produced by the journey,
have been exhibited since his arrival by
the rise OF temperature and the increased
frequency of his pulse. At present his
pulse is l24, temperature l0l.6, respira-
tion Is.

Mr.. McVcagh and Presigeni Arthur.

WASHINGTON. September 27-At-
torney General MacVcagh stated
this evening, when approached on
the subject of the Cabinet, that he
had no objection to speaking frank
" as to his own position. He said
he recognized to the fullest extent
the propriety of President Arthur
selecting as his confidential advi-
sers gentlemen who had heretofore
sustained relations not only of per-
sonal good will, but also of polite
al sympathy with him. Indeed he
did not think any Administration
could be strong if there was any
ground for suspicion or disgust
among its members. As soon, there
fore, as President Arthur had taken
the oath of office Mr.. MacVeagh
said he rendered his resignation in
writing. He had also assured the
President that the resignation was
not form, but fact, and that he
hoped it would be convenient to
designate his successor by the time
the Senate met in special session.
Mr.. MacVeagh added that on pub
lie grounds he felt no difficulty in
pursuing the course his feelings die
tated. The only political work to
which he attached any importance
at this time was the work OF admin
istrative reform, including of course,
the exposure and the relentless
pursuit of all plunderers of the pub
lie treasury. If President Arthur
engages heartily and thoroughly in
that good work, as he hoped and
believed he would, then he was en-
titled to the credit of doing it with
an Attorney General of his own Sc
lection and not with one inherited
from President Garfield.
The Attorney General spoke very
kindly of President Arthur and said
he was sure the country would
Judge him not only fairly but gen.
erously. and not by the selection of
one person or another for his Cabi-
net but by the general policy of his
administration.

The Elders Way.

Elder Traverse, who died lately
in Buffalo, old and bent and full OF
years, was once the most noted man
in eastern New York as a camp
meeting leader. He had a power
full voice and was q fluent speak
er, and in the prime Of life could
get away with any man who ever
sought to disturb his meetings. The
elder was once holding a Camp meet
at Yonkers, and word reached him
that a notorious rough, known as
"Chicago Bob" intended to be on
hand on Sunday for q row. He
made no reply and took no precau-
tions, but when Bob appeared on
the grounds with q cigar in his
mouth and slingshot in his sleeve
the elder didn't grow pale worth a
cent. Bob had ccme out there to
run things, and he took a front seat.
When the crowd began to sing he
began growing, and thus created
confusion.
Robert, you had better sit down,
observed the elder quietly, as he
came forward.
Chicago Bob sits down for nc
man l"was the reply.
"Sit down Robert continued the
elder, as he put his hand on the
loafer's arm.
'Heregoes to clean out this crowd y
said Bob as he pulled off his coat.
Next instant the elder hit him un-
der the ear, and as he fell over a
bench he was followed up and hit
again and again, and while in a semi
unconscious state he was carried of
by his friends.
Next dav he was the first to come
forward for prayers. The elder put
his hand on his head and said
Robert, are you in earnest"
II am
Are you seeking for faith 2"
sYou bet am ! If faith helps a
man to get in his work as quick as
you did yesterday, / am bound to
have it if / haye to sell my hat J"
He didn't get it very strong, but
ne did DO more growing while the
canpmeeting lasted.
