MALARIA

Malaria is an almost in
describable malady which
not even the most talented
physicians are able to faith
ON. Its cause is most fire.
quently ascribed to local
surroundings, and there is
very little question, but this
opinion is substantiated by
facts. Malaria does not nee
essarily mean chills and
fever while these troubles
usually accompany it. 1t
often affects the sufferer with
general lassitude, accom-
panied by loss of appetite,
sleeplessness, a tired feeling
and a high fever, the per-
son afflicted growing weak
er and weaker, loses flesh
day after day, until he be-
comes a mere skeleton, a
shadow Of his former self.
Malaria once having laid its
hold upon the human frame, the
door Of the system is thrown open
TO nervous diseases. The body
weak and enfeebled absorbs no
nourishment, but subsisting upon
itself, the digestive organs no
longer perform their functions
the liver becomes torpid. and other
organs falling to do their routine
work speedily become disordered,
and dissolution and death are apt
TO ensue.
In addition to being a certain cure
for malaria and chills and fever,
Browns IRON BITTERs is highly
recommended for all diseases requir-
ing a certain and efficient tonic; es-
peciallyindigestion, dyspepsia, inter

Thus this matter derives its gravity. not from
its intrinsic Importance but from its tendencies
and consequences. In itself it would be trivial
and would merit little discussion. If this inter-
change Of delegates was what DR.. Brown under

INSANE ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.

The report of hejOint committee who
recently investigated the sanitary con-
dition and management Of the Insane
Asylum at Weston, was filed, yester-
day evening, in the House Of Delegates.
We present a careful synopsis Off else
where. That the gentlemen composing
the committee have performed their
onerous duties with earnestneSs and dis
cretion, will be admitted by all. The
fact that the report is unanimous in all
its conclusions, will serve TO give itgreat
weight. 1t is to be regretted that any
thing deserving eensure should have
been found in the management Of the
institution in which the whole people
of the State are so deeply in
terested; but having been found,
it is both right and proper that the
prompt measures recommended by the
committee should be adopted. or the
fifteen specifications filed, all those inn
plicating the Superintendent, DIR.
BLAND, were found to be unsustained,
and his management is endorsed, bus
the charges of drunkenness against two
members of the executive board and the
assistant physician, are reported as sus-
tanned, and while the committee find
that no evil has so far resulted to the in
stitution from this cause, yet they feel
constrained to recommend that they be
removed from office, and their places
supplied by others who will at all times
and under all circumstances, be ready
to perform their duties.

A T. BISHOP.

The Roman Catholic church loses, in
the death of Bishop LYNCH, of South
Carolina, one of its most distinguished
prelates and one of its best men. An
American by birth and education, and
always an American in sentiment and
spirit, the late bishop had that liberal
and versatile mind which made him the
man first and the ecclesiastic afterward.
He was one of the best known and most
honored men in the State which con-
stituted his diocese, and illustrated in
his life the virtues which belong to the
best type of an American citizen-in-
tegrity, self-help, industry and discur-
sive, yet thorough, Studies. Succeeding
Bishop REYNOLDS in 1855, he became
bishop of Charleston in 1858, and gave
his whole strength to the diocese in
which he had lived from his youth.
The civil war swept away nearly all the
institutions ofthe Roman, asitdid those
of the other religious bodies in Charles
ton, and left Bishop LYNCH responsible
for over 500, 900 of debt already incurred
in building the cathedral and in
other diocesan work. At the time
ofhis death this noble prelate had raised
and paid of, chiefly by personal effort,
all but $4,000 of this vast sum. There
was not u bit of the blood of q repudia-
zionist in his veins, and though the
gigantic effort is said to have shortened
his life and compelled him to decline an
archbishopric, it has given his people
and the Roman communion a brilliant
example of what the highest individual
character may accomplish in the person
OF its trusted leaders. He was not I'M
like the first Roman Bishop of Boston,
Cardinal CHEyERUS, the friend OF
CLAIMING, who laid the foundations
Of the first Roman Cathedral in that
city, and the sanctity and beauty of
whose character are one ofthe pleasant
est traditions of the Roman Church in
New England, in his modesty, in the
Self-denial of his life, in his care for his
people, in the manliness of his charac-
ter, in the high spirit in which he dis
charged his duties as an American citi-
zen.

HEMPFIELD EXTENSION,


gentleman who arrived in this city
yesterday from Baltimore, gives Us the
following information: II had a talk
with Mr.. JOHN w. GARRETT, on Sat
urday last, on railroad matters. l said:
Mr.. GARRETT, it will give me a great
deal of pleasure to be able TO say to the
people of Wheeling on my return that
you are going onto complete the Hemp
field road to a junction with the Con-
nelisville region"
''AIr. GARRETT replied: 1T is our
purpose to complete this connection
And the tenor Of the whole converse
ton on this point convinced me thatth
work would be pushed forward as rap
idly rs was judicious and business-like,"
said our informant.
The REGISTER has no doubt that Mr..
GARRETT expects some day to COM
plete this road; but Mr.. GARRETT is
growing old, and 30 are some Of the rest
of us who would like to see Wheeling
reap the advantage of = short line be-
tween our furnaces and the COnnells-
vile coke ovens. The Wheeling man
u~facturers have waited, 10! these many
years on Nh. GARRETT's 'judicious and
buSiness-like" policy, until many of
them-like Mr.. GARRETT himself
have grown grey in waiting. They feel
that the only certain way to get to the
coke regions will be to go there them
selves. 1t will cost them 100000 to do
this.
On 600 tons of coke, which this city
wilsoon require every day, the freight
at $50 per car of twelve tons-the price
now ~paid-costs s., 3O2. This amount
of coke PittSburgh-no nearer the coke
fields than Wheeling gets for precisely
one-half this sum, or Sl3 per car, max
ing 1851 per day,
This latter figure represents what
Wheeling would save each way ON the
transportation of 600 tons of coke, if she
had her little narrow guage road, be-
sides making a splendid profit on the
stock of the road.
Multiply S65l, the saving in freight in
a single day by 3l2 working days, and
YOU have the handsome sum of S2O3.ll2
As the net savings for one year.
1.-THE mill men who would save this
much money the first year, would put
this S2OS,OOO up as capital stock, and
then take the bonds issued on this stock
as a basis for say As much more, they
would then hold a controlling interest
in the road; get their coke for one-half
what they now pay, and receive ahand-
some dividend on their stock and bonds.
They can go on and build this road
and make their fortunes, die and be
handsomely buried by the time Mr..
GARRETT in his 'judicious and business
like" way gets ready.

Nh. WILLIAM T. TANEY, a former
citizen of Wellsburg, and now the ac'

of THE REGISTER, has been figuring in
the reform movement of the Quaker
city. A Philadelphia exchange says Of
him: WILLIAM T. TANEY, a Reform
Democrat, and a reporter whose services
are engaged by several parties, received
the highest vote for School Director in
the Nineteenth ward.
The Herald, of Wellsburg, says that
Mr.. TANEY was clerk of the School
Board there, at one time, and probably
can give the Philadelphians "some
ideas"

THE Wheeling correspondent of the
Ohio State Journal makes the following
observations:
Wheeling gets little gas from the city
gas works, and that, too, of the poorest
quality.
In 1855, Charleston, Kanawha county,
becomes the capital of this State.
Wheeling parts with the bauble without
regret. Nc one loses any trade, except
q few cheap hash houses, and the city
gets a good building for municipal
offices.
The State Legislature, now in session,
does not vary from the average Legisla-
ture, except that the members stay to
business instead Of junketing over the
State, making the life ola FRED BLANK
NER a non-eSsentisl Of the State gov

extension, so that Wheeling will con-
tinue to reside on 8 coupleof switches Of

New MEXICO claims to have a popu'
lation of one hundred and sixty thou,
sand inhabitants, and has four leading
and important railroads and many ex'
tremely valuable mining elements and
resources. Her application, therefore,
for admission into the Union as a State
will be urged with considerable force at
the present session of Congress, and will
it is said, be backed blythe entire Demo
cratic party in that body, and may
therefore be likely to succeed. New
Mexico has been an organized territory
in the United States since the yeal
1850, so that the whole present genera
ton of her people has grown up under
our institutions.

THE Bulletin of the Iron and Steel
Association says the capacity of the
American Bessemer steel rail works is
now in excess Of demand; that they can
this year produce 100000 gross tons;
that we do not need to import a ton of
steel rails to-day to meet the present de-
mand; and that as q matter of fact in
dieations point to an early virtual ter
mination of all importations of both
steel and iron rails. The production of
steel rails in this country last year was
1000 900 gross tons, and the importa-
ticn was 222,597, making a total of
LOO, 600 gross tons, in round numbers.

Our gallant and esteemed friend,
Senator DAvY McGREeoR, Of Richie,
has been converted to the cause Of
female suffrage. The noble Senator,
about a week since, introduced an
amendment to the constitution which
provided that "all female citizens of the
State shall be entitled to vote at all
school elections held within the counties
in viii i they respectively reside" A
few da. 5 afterwards he was much en-
courage by his brother Senators, when
they or!ered the resolution TO a second
reading. 1t win soon come up in the
Senate ior discussion, and Senator Nc
GREGoR's exposition of ''the cause is
anticipated with interest.
ApropOs to this subject it may be in
teresting to observe that New York Is
having the woman question" in all its
phases. Attorney General RUSSELL
has given an opinion in favor ofthe
rights ofwomen to hold office as school
trustees. New York's model police
force is exercised over the results OF q
meeting of women, held to promote the
appointment of matrons in the station
houses; and School Commissioner
WEST has been busted several
days with the opinions Of the
school principals as to the
prohibition against employing. mar
ried women as teachers. 1t is diff
cult to see why women who help tosup-
port the public schools bypaying taxes
should be denied a voice in the govern
ment of the schools, when men who do
not pay a penny of taxes towards the
administration of the empire city are
allowed a voice in choosing the officers
of that administration.
That women consigned for any cause
to q police station ought to be looked
after there by women is simply and OBJ
viously decent. The question whether
married women should be employed as
teachers is a little more complex. The
first duty of a married women is to
keep house, we suppose, for her husband
and famiy-provided, that is, that her
husband gives her a house to keep.and
certainly a woman who has charge of a
house and family car hardly have the
time to attend to the ~exacting duties of
a school teacher. 1t is possible that in
the progress of modern civilization we
may develop a special tribe of men apt
to be the housekeeping husbands ofpro-
feSSional women. The husbands of
prime dOanC are already said to
be a special tribe of this sort.
But so long as housekeeping con-
tinues to be a distinctively feminine oc-
cupation the odds must be that an I'M
married woman will make a better
schOol-teacher than q married woman.
OF course there may be exceptional
cases in which this presumption willnot
hold; and the common-sense solution
of the ~problem-if it be a problem
would seem to be to leave each a to
be decided on its special merits by the
responsible authorities by any infleXible
rule. A husband may be regarded rs
an impeachment but not as an insupera-
bleimpediment to the employment of a
woman in the schools, just a a wooden
leg might be. But there should be no
more rigid exclusion of a really capable
and accomplished teaeherfrom employ
ment merely because she happenstOh have
ahusband than merely because she hap
pens to have a wooden leg.

ADIsTINGUISHED VISITOR.

DR.. j. L. NJ. CURRY, Of Richmond,
Va, is expected in this city on Wednes-
day, and will deliver an address before
the members of the Legislature that
evening on educational matters.
DR.. CURRY is the successor of the late
DIR. SEARS as o trustee Of the Peabody
Fund. He was a General in the Con-
federate army, isa Baptist divine Of con-
siderable distinction, and is an educator
OF Irrational reputation. In the interest
of his position as trustee of the Peabody
Fund, he has visited the various South
ern States and carefully investigated
their educational systems and their
educational needs. He comes to West
Virginia on the invitation of Superin-
tendent BUTCHER, on a similar GRAND,
and should receive q cordial reception
from the representatives of the peopleof
the State now in the city. Both our
normal schools and our teachers in
stitutes have heretofore received some
aid from this fund, and no doubt they
may continue to do so If the right i'm
preston is made upon our distinguished
visitor.
1t is the policy of the Peabody trus-
tees to help only those who help them
selves, and to contribute only to such
objects as the State also contributes to.
If the Normal Schools receive no aid
from the State they will receive none
from that fund; if the Teachers Insti-
tutes receive no aid from the State they
will receive none through the worthy
Doctor. He comes here, as We under
stand, for the purpose Of satisfying him.
