Fa,uro Prospects of the Republican


Tho same evidences OF political disinte.
grafton are to be seen in all sections Of the
country The now apparently solid Re-
publican Senate and House will be broken
INTO the fragments Of faction before the LIST
of March, and the strongest Republican
States Of the North will DO convulsed by
the coalitions Of the best clements Of both
parties against the placement OF every faith.
Both parties are rotten all around the edges;
in some localities they are both rotten to
the very core, and, US coalition becOmest the
policy Of bad men, good men will be forced
10 coalition TO defeat spOisnen and plum
deres.- Philadelphia Times (Dem.J
The Times is mistaken. There never
was time when the Republican party or.
ganization was rs formidable as ut this
hour. 1t seems to us almost q certainty al.
ready that the nominee of the next Repub-
lican National Convention for President
will be elected. The Republicans have
since the death Of Garfield carried New
York, though ex-senator Conkling was
sick; and, have carried Vir.
ginia, securing majority in the
Senate. They have also elected
Speaker Of the House with the greatest
ease, and it should not be forgotten that
they reelected Charles Foster Governor OF
Ohio by majority vote. The next thing
they will admit Dakota as Il State, and
decide few contested seats in the House
in their own favor, securing working ma.
iority in both Houses Of Congress
Several Southern States will fol.
low the example OF Virginia. North
Carolina will do so at the earliest
opportunity. The Solid South is no more.
The Democrats have nothing to win with
against thispower. They ARE in confusion
on the tariff and finances. They are in,
epert in taxation, internal and external,
and money matters. Mr. Pendleton's lit.
tie civil service reform diversion is well
enough in its way, but it would not stand
the wear and tear OF II rough CAMPAIGN

1t will be seen by tho above table that
the four Panhandle counties OF West vir.
ginia, the most populous part Of the State,
have only an area Of $40 square miles,
which is but little more than the area Of
our nejghbor, Belmont County, O., (which
has 500 square miles,, and only about
three.ffths OF the area Of Washington
County, Pa, which contains 500 square
miles. Small as is the area, however, of
the Panhandle in comparison with tho
24,645 square miles Of West Virginia, yet
her four counties contain over oue-ninth
Of the total population OF tho state, viz:
67,l9O' as against the GlS,457 inhabitants Of
tue whole State. AstRxpayers they figure
in an equally conspicuous ratio. 1t is not,
therefore, size alone that determines the
importance Of territory.

That Beautiful Gift.

One of our young clerks last Sun
day night bought a cut-glass bottle of
cologne, with glass stopper and pink
ribbon, to present to young lady he
is keeping company with; but, on
reaching the house, he felt a little
embarrassed for fear there were men,
bers of the family present, so he left
the beautiful gift on the steop and
passed in. The movement was per-
ceived by graceless brother of the
young lady, who appropriated the
cologne for his own use, and filled
the bottle with hartshorn from the
family jar, and then hung around to
observe the result.
In a little while the. young man
slipped out to the stoop, and securing
the splendid gift, slipped back again
into the parlor, where, with a few
appropriate words, he pressed it upon
the blushing girl. Like the good
and faithful daughter that she was,
she at once hurried into the presence
of her mother, and the old lady was
charmed. They didn't put up stuff
like that when she was a girl; and it
was held together by samples of the
family's hair.
She was very much pleased with
it. She drew out the stopper, laid
the beautiful petals of her nostrils
over the aperture, and fetched pull
at the contents that fairly made them
bubble. Then she laid the bottle
down, and picking up brass-mOunt-
ed fre-shovel instead, said, as soon as
she could say anything
"Where is that miserable brat?"
He, all unconscious of what had
happened, was in the front of a mir
ror adjusting his necktie and smiling
at himself. Here she found him,
and said to him:
ooh, you are laughing at the trick
on an old woman, are you?"
And then she gave him one on the
ear. And he, being by nature, more
eloquent with his legs than with his
tongue, fastened from thence, howl
ing like mad, and accompanied to the
gate by the brass-mounted shovel
He says he would give everything on
earth if he could only shake off the
impression that a mistake had been
made.

THE HUNTINGTON ARGUS.



On olden walls, in memory's halls,
With roses round il clinging;
A picture rare, of antique air,
The old log church is swinging.
OF timbers rough, and gnarled and tough,
It stands in rustic beauty;
A monument 10 good intent
And loyal, christian duty.
The forest trees kissed the breeze
OF early autumn weather.
Stand grimly by and seem to sigh
And bend their bOughs together
Down by the mill, and up the hill,
And through the hazel thicket,
And DER the mead, brown pathways lead
Up TO the rustic wicket.
And by these ways, on holy days,
The village folks collected,
And humbly ard the Sacred Word,
And worshiped unaffected.
Sweet Faaehs art aud poets heart
Can see tue old time preacher
And village sage, now turn the page,
As minister, or teacher.
For in the church, with dreaded birch
On'week days he pr sided,
In awful m-in. q tutor seen,
'TWixt lore and lieks divided.
But where IL stood, in dappled wood,
A city sprung % life,
And jolly noise az barefoot boys,
is lost i'm business rife.
With wears now Aown, the children, grown
Are launched on life's mad pillows,
The pretty maid is matrOn staid,
The masters meath the willows.
