in the hard cross line of the bust, which

MESSAGE
OF Governor Jacob 3. Jackson,
To the Legislature Of West Virginia, at Its
Adjourned Session, January II, 1882.
STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA.
Executive CHAMBER,

January IL, 1857.
Gentlemen of the Senate and House
of Delegates: The Constitution 'ol

commencement Of each session, to give
to the Legislature Information by
message of the condition of the State,
and to recommend for its consideration,
such measures as he shall deem expe.
dent.
In compliance with the provision re-
curing information to be given as to
the condition of the State, it affords me
much pleasure to say, that the general
condition of the State is satisfactory
that we are gradually increasing III
population and wealth, and that oui
progress in developing our material inter
ests is very gratifying.
Possessed as we are of an almost mex
hausting supply of coal and iron, to,
gether with other valuable mineral
deposits, it is only necessary to open
these mines of wealth, to make oul
State one Of the most prosperous States
of the union.
But our wealth does not consist alone
in our mineral deposits; we have also
an abundance of the finest timber; add
to this q salubrious climate, with gen
erous soil adapted to the raising OF most
of the agricultural products, and oul
State presents field for the enterprls'
ing settlers, such as is presented by nc
other. ~
1t only needs the fostering care ofthe
Legislature in theenactment of salutary
laws, thus inviting emigration and de-
velOping our mining and manufactur'
ing interests, to materially increase oul
wealth and influence.
A portion of the State during the past
season. suffered from prolonged
drouth, materially diminishing the
agricultural products of such localities
the other portions, however, were bless
ed with an abundant harvest, so thai
the aggregate of farming products i
not much less than the average OF pre-
vious years.

Genteel Beggars in Paris.

A disagreeable feature of Paris is the
number of ''genteel beggars." Foreign
residents are especially exposed to this
nuisance, for these beggars are mostly
foreigners. There nationality, or at least
their language, is generally German;
but there is sprinkling of persons pro-
Tossing to be English, or, at all events,
English subjects. If unable to speak
English they pretend to have been
brought in infancy by a widowed moth
er to France or Germany, but insist on
their English paternity or birth, or they
give themselves out for natives of He'll
goland. Malta, or even Canada. The
people of Heligoland, indeed, would be
surprised to hear of the number of art
lists and others who have migrated from
their little rock and settled in Paris.
have mentioned artists, for these gentry
generally profess to be artists, journal
lists, or teachers of languages. If journ-
alists, they are sure to be victims of
Prince Bismarck's tyranny or of the
anti-Semitic movement. They rarely
offer to tell their residence, and if pressed
on this point are accustomed to give a
high number quite imaginary in a
street at safe distance from immediate
veritication. They frequently allege that
they have not tasted food the whole day,
and they have almost invariably a sick
wife and children, in proof of which
statement they produce doctors pre-
sc-iption. They sometimes describe
themselves as sent by the clergyman you
sit under, aud are little disconnected if
told that you sit under another man.
They have at their command an unlimi-
ted number of the cards of members of
the British Embassy, endorsed with rec.
concentrations Whether these cards
are forged fac SMILES, or how. if other
wise. they get such easy possession of
them, is problem, but, it need hardly
be said, the members of the Embassy
know nothing of their alleged proteges.
They sometimes reappear, after two
years interval, with different name
and a different story.-Cor. London

The last dog story is told by a Georgia
paper, the Americas Republican. 1t
is to the effect that family in that town,
having false CRATE in one of the rooms
of the house, placed some red paper be-
hind it to give it the effect of fire. One
cold day last winter the house-dog came
in from out of doors, and seeing the
paper in the CRATE lay down before it to
receive the heat as it came from the fire.
Feeling no warmth, he raised his head,
looking over his shoulder at the CRATE;
feeling no heat, he applied his nose to
the CRATE and smelt of it. Is was cold
as ice. With his tail curled between his
legs, the dog trotted out of the room,
not even casting look at the party in
the room, evincing supreme disgust.

full Improvements and beneticient enter
prises of the last half century. In his
early life he was for long time the
most popular gentleman in the city. He
was in request whenever grace and tact
and wit in a presiding officer were re-
quired. 1t was during his Mayoralty
that the great project of introducing the
water of Lake Cochituate was carried
into effect. He was the originator of
several OF the most important improve

later life his services were given to the
State in connection with the Harbor
Commission, of which he was lone the
Chairman, and they were exceedingly
valuable. Still later he has been the
most prominent advocate and the strong
est supporter of the movement to secure
homes to the poorer classes by the Co

Susie and Her Chickens.

Peep! Peep! Peep! Ten little orphan
babies all crying at once, and each one
trying to cry louder han the other.
What should be done with thema
Poor mother Hen Blacky had been
killed, and who was to take care of her
ten chickens? Hen Speckle had
twelve children of her own-as many as
she could cover. No room for the or.
phans there Hen Whitey's eight
children were so large and ill-natured
they would not let the doWny little new
corners so much as look in their coop.
Hen Topknot, who had but four in
her brood, would not hear OF adopting
any more, and taking care of the little
strangers. She pecked at them 50
sharply that the poor things ran off. and
stood in group by themselves in cor
ner of the chicken-yard, crying as loud
as they could cry.
Susie felt like crying too. She was
so sorry for the motherless ones. She
took up the chickens in her apron,
where they cuddled down, glad to get
warm, and glad TO hide away from
cross Hen Topknot. ~ '.sr

Susie.
And a good mother she was, too
She soon taught the ten little black aud
white and speckled chickens to scratch
for worms. She put them to bed every
night in an old basket, and covered
them up warm. In the morning how
glad they were to see their new little
mother. They ran to her wherever she
was when they were tired. And such
funny sight it was to see those ten
chickens fly into Susie's lap. creep IN
der her apron, and cuddle against her
neck with little cooling sounds!
They never knew any other mother,
and they never wanted better one. Susie
never forgot to feed her babies, and
they grew rs fast and were as fine look
ing as the other chickens, who had hem

"A veterinary professional says that
"the great majority of ringbones in
young horses come from the failure to
shorten the toes" To this may be added
that ringbone is apt to be formed if colts
are allowed to stand on plank floor or
anywhere else where the footing is hard,
during the first eighteen months of their
age. Whether in stable or yard during
this period, let them have earth for
standing or walking, free from stone or
gravel.

London Town.

Although London is only eight days
steaming from the United States, and is
yearly visited by thousands of persons
from this country, few Americans have
any adequate idea of its magnitude.
This can be better realized by a COM
parison of statistics, placing the great
English capital in contrast with some
centers of population on our own side of
the Atlantic. London has population
of 4,790,0 900, more than twice and a half
times as many as are found in
the whole State of Massachusetts.
Our Commonwealth has superficial
area of five million acres, on which
are planted 100000 people. Lon
don four million eight hundred thou
sand persons are contained in space of
AL ,5S1 acres, about eleven to the acre.
Boston has an area of %. 472 acres, with
apopulation of four hundred thousand,
an average of nearly eighteen human
beings to the acre. 1t is really more
densely populated than the metropolitan
district of London as whole. Boston
and London are alike in one important
particular. Both have a large amount
of made land. In this city there are 365
miles of public streets. During the last
thirty years London has increased its
length OF streets by upwards of 1900
miles, and eighty-six miles of new
streets were constructed in 1891 Boston
contains something over $4,000 houses,
while 400,00 new houses have been
built within the metropolitan limits of
London in less than a third of century.
With a population almost reaching
5000, 900, and 100000 inhabited houses,
London require two policemen to every
1000 inhabitants, and fourteen police
men to every l, 900 houses, in order to
uphold the law, protect property. and
maintain the public peace and quiet. The
police force of Boston, numbering some
IT'S men, with constituency of 400, 900
and $4,000 houses. has not far from the
same amount of responsibility as in Lon
don. Our police force averages one Of
ficer to SIC Inhabitants and 81 houses.
This does not vary much from London
with its two policemen to a population
of 1000 and one officer to seventy
buildings. The police force of London
numbers II 200 men. Four hundred and
burglaries were committed
there during 1881. Two hundred and
flfty-two persons were killed by accident,
and 3, 400 were injured and MANNED
