has attained q high position among the

with each year it seems to have been his

IL would be Impossible, in work OF this
character, to trace in detail the yearly ad-
ditlons to the enterprises OF which MIR.
Davis is the head. Certainly something
new was being born to his energy every
year. There Is phase of his business life
that ever seemed to me singular. There
has never been a day, for years past, when
he could not have employed his splendid
business talents and large capital TO lar
greater profit in any OF the large cities OF
The Union than he has done in his own
State. He has steadily invested the prohts
of his business in some new venture which
looked to the development OF the resources
of the State where he began life when ne
ceased to tread the winepress OF life alone;
Perhaps in doing this he has SIMPLY heeoe9
the lessons he learned in boyhood, and
been content to reap the steady reward OF
careful industry. But | have ever set IL
down as an ambition to so contribute 10
the material welfare and advancement OIL
West Virginia, that the result OF his efforts
wo1Id stand as a more enduring monument
to his memory than any service he couIu
render the State in the arena Oh pohtlCS'

A man may have eminent success IN
business life, but fail when he reaches out
70 grasp other duties, requiring broader
and entirely different qualities OF nina.
The public career OF Henry u. DAVIS, now
ever, has been even more successful than
his business life, and for many years past
the two have travelled hand in hand, thus
proying that he possesses the VersatiLe
mental attributes necessary TO accomplish
difficult tasks in public as we'll as IN private
affairs.
Just after the war, and while pressed
with the overwhelming demands OF his
business, the citizens Of Hampshire county,
where he lived asked him to become
Conservative Union candidate for the
LEGISLATURE, as against the nominee OF the
radical wing of that party. He consented
and WAS elected. He entered the lower
house of the West Virginia Legislature,
and began his public life, with the session
Of 1866, Almost from the start he took
aleading place in the business ana delioera-

A Twice Married Couple.

They're always doing something queer
in the marriage line out West. The
latest story of that description is told as
follows by the New York .Sun: On
Thursday, April 27, there was mar
riage of more than usual interest in
Madisonville, Kentucky. About five
years ago Mr.. E. L. Hendricks, then
citizen of that place, was secretly mar
ried in New Albany to Miss Maria b.
vile and of Southwest Kentucky. Hen
dricks took the first train west and Miss
Morton returned home. One friend only
knew of the marriage, and he held the
marriage certificate locked up in his safe.
The plan was for Hendricks to make
sufficient to support wife, and then to
have preparations made for wedding
on a grand scale, and the officiating
minister, instead of beginning the mar
riage ceremony, should produce the
certificate and announce, to the amaze
ment of the parents, friends and all the
company, that the couple had been mar
ried for years. The plan was not car
ried out. At the end of three years, for
some reasons known only to the parties
themselves, divorce was obtained.
This, of course, made the matter public.
Up to this time not even the parents
themselves dreamed that their daughter
was married And now, two years after
the divorce, Mr.. Hendricks and Miss
Morton are married over again. The
reconciliation was accomplished by let
ter, and on Thursday of last week the
groom went on from st. Louis. The
meeting and the new marriage were

A New York Romance.

Not long since young lady of New
York City took it into her head to get
married without paternal consent. The
young man whom she loved was object
ed to by her father on the ground that
he was not well enough off, as far as this
worlds goods were concerned, to take
care of his daughter, and although he
had never seen his intended son-in- law,
he asserted that he was not competent
to earn for her respectable living. In
spite of opposition, however, the we'd
ding took place at the time appointed,
and it is needless to say that the father
was not numbered among the guests.
The young couple found modest home
in the neighborhood of the parental
and still the irate father re-
fused to recognize them. But he was
not of an unsociable nature, and he
was noted for making acquaintance
ON the horse-cars on his way to and from
business. 1t was not strange, therefore,
that he entered into conversation with a
sociable young man at his side ON his
way home the other evening, but it was
little surprising, as he was rather eau
tious, that he should have been so en-
tirely fascinated by the young mans re-
marks. ''Why," he said, "you're a per,
son exactly after my own heart; you
display in your words a remarkable bus
mess tact, and are destined to be rich
man. If it is not an impertinent ques-
tion, who are you and what is your
name p 81 am your son-in-law," quiet
ly observed the future Vanderbilt, as he
motioned to the conductor to stop the

silver has far more vigor than the fulmi-
nate of mercury; while the illuminate Of
gold is said to have such percussive and
explosive energy that even an ounce
package, dashed on the earth, will exca-
vate hole large enough to enclose
big building.
As a lesson from these facts, we may
rightly say that the modern impulse, re-
inforced by scientific appliances, is to
discourage tyranny and autocratic pre-
tensions. All that sovereign needs to
do nowadays is to lean to constitutional
methods of government, and be ready to
pack his carpet sack and to "step down
and out" when the time comes IN which
any given people desire to get rid OF the
nuisance of monarchical and imperial
government. Otherwise, amongst the
barbarous peoples, the appliances OF
science will be resorted to as the only
and convenient solution of the modern
problem. Sooner or later, and far
sooner than is generally believed, the
doctrines enunciated by Thomas Jeffer-
son will govern the world. There may
be disgraceful incidents in the evolution,
but the evolution is inevitable.

ELSEWHERE we republish, from the
San Francisco Call, very carefully con-
sidered article on the rechartering of the
National banks. The lapse of the char
ters of large number of these institu-
tions, which will take place within the
next twelvemonth, raises an issue of
vital moment to the people of the United
States. Waving the question whether
or no it is better to save the interest on
some three hundred and fifty millions of
dollars of United States bonds, by re-
placing National bank notes by green
backs, no reader of the newspapers can
have forgotten the unpatriotic perform
ances of the National banks at critical
stages of our history, notably when the
House of Representatives sought to issue
q three per cent. bond. To block that
wise and legitimate movement the Ma
tional banks started in to inaugurate
panic, and they only desisted from their
malign intent when they had intimidat-
ed Congress into the issuance of three
and half per cent. bond. There is
nothing revolutionary in allowing these
banks to go out OF existence as their
charters lapse, replacing their issues,
which are based on interest bearing
bonds of the United States, by green
backs, which bear pp interest. The
whole system owed its origin to the pro
found Difference which the Republican
party has shown, at every stage of its
existence, to the capitalists of both this
country and Europe.

A NOVEL QUESTION.
General Abe Buford Thinks a Chris
tian May Race Horses.

A new question as to the boundary
line of Christian amusements is raised
among the church people of Kentucky.
General Abe Buford, of this State, who
was recently converted at q revival
meeting, has declared it to be his opin-
ion that Christians may with advantage
attend horse races. He regards the
racing of horses as not merely permissi-
BILE but desirable. These sentiments are
the opposite of those which have gen
orally prevailed in the churches. Horse
races have been considered bad enter
tainments to go to, and calculated to
demoralize those who 60. There are
some religious fraternities which would
withdraw the right hand of fellowship
from those who persist in attending
races. In Methodist church in the
State of New York member rendered
himself obnoxious to his brethren by va
rious illegal misdeeds, one of which was
going to horse races. They turned
him out, shortly after while another
church took him in. Perhaps it may
be we'll for the churches to look into the
matter of making one horse go faster
than another horse and see if there is
anything actually sinful in it. They
might discover that the sin which is sup:
posed to attach to racing lies chiefly in
betting and gambling and drinking,
which are said to prevail in connection
with the competitive speeding of that
noble quadruped, the horse. As for the
horse himself he never bets nor CANDLES
nor gets drunk He does his level best
and the sight of him as he does it ought
to be an incentive to wholesome ambi-
ton. Many of our best church people
go to agricultural fairs which are in
many respects pretty much the same as
horse races. 1t would be interesting to
know how much less godly horse race
is than church fair with grab-bags and
raffles for large cakes, or an oyster stew
served in the name of Christian charity
with one lonely oyster floating in it.
Many good Christian people dance and
play billiards and croquet, and do things
which other Christions equally pious
consider worldly. Some eminent Chris
tians go to the stock board and the pro-
duce exchange, which are quite as
worldly. The exact degree of the
wordliness or godly advantage of the
horse race will probably soon be decided
by some of Brother Buford's fellow
church members in Kentucky.

A dog was fed for six days upon
bread made with baking powder that
had muriate of ammonia for one of its
ingredients. This is one of the kind
advertised as ga pure cream of tartar
baking powder. y The dog seemed to
get on pretty well, and continued to
catch three jackass rabbits daily-his
customary allowance-besides bowling
most of the night when any of his mas
ter's neighbors were sick and particu-
larly nervous. He slept well when any
one was calling him to chase the pigs
out of the garden, and his digestion of
what he could steal from butchers
shop was unimpaired. Altogether he
was hearty dog. But when he was
told about the ammonia in the baking
powder that made his bread, he lay
down and turned over on his. back,
dropped his lower jaw, and was gath
cred to his fathers. The ammonia didn't
hurt him any, but the knowledge that
he had been eating it broke him all up.
When the manufacturers of that baking
powder meet that dog at the judgment
seat there will be race, and the man
will be ahead.

The Largest Fort in the World.

Fortress Monroe is the largest single
fortification in the world. 1t has already
cost over three millions of money. The
water battery is considered to be one of
the finest pieces of military construc-
ton in the world. Colonel Lodor, the
instructor of the artillery school, has in
vented and perfected some astonishing
appliances, that, when we shall have
guns, will be of immense value in hand
ling them. In one of the casemates in
side the fort is his office. He can sit in
it and by an electric appliance, cause
every gun in the fort to be fred simul-
taneously. He has perfected another
set of instruments by which the exact
distance of ship from the shore may
be accurately determined, the veloc-
city and direction of the wind, the con-
sequent detection of the ball, and the
precise point at which the ball will strike
the ship. The guns are fired by elec-
tricity.

agreed to assign to defendants, as execu-
trix of deceased, certain stocks and
bonds of several railroad and steamship
corporations of the aggregate estimated
value of 81, 722, 1875. 1t is alleged that
plaintiff made the assignment through
mistake as to the actual value of the
bonds and stocks; that the considera-
tion for such assignment was the agree
ment of the defendants that they would
cancel a promissory note for one million
dollars made by deceased and that they
would pay certain other debts. The
plaintiff asks for an accounting of the
value of the stocks and bonds and for a

dends and interest on the same now due

A gentleman of Columbus, Ohio, says
the Bohemian, of rather an eccentric
turn, visited New York, and wandered
one Sabbath into fashionable church,
and complacently seated himself in va
cant pew. Shortly a gentleman and his
wife came in and sat down in the same
pew. The gentleman eyed the stranger
critically for few minutes, and then
wrote on the hy-leaf of his prayer-book,
"My pew" and passed it over to the
intruder. The Ohio man read it, smiled
sweetly, and wrote under it, I'D
