West Virginia lxisses.-The bon
ME lasses of the Mountain State are, as 4
rule. the most ecstatic kissers in the ma
ton. Their sweet lips, tinted by fresh
mountain air and perfumed with sang
are unriyaled in the osculative art.
When Il Young man steals Kiss from
Wheeling girl, she bushes like full-
blown rose, and says smartly: You
,arsn't do that twice more"
when young chap steals Kiss from
Parkersburg girl she says: II reckon 1t Is
nv turn now" and gives him box on
the Ell that he don't forget for month.
When Il clever fellow steals Il Kiss from
Ritchie county girl, she smiles, bushes
deeply and says-nothing.
In Morgantown, when female Is sa-
lutcd with Il buSs, she puts on bonnet
and shawl and answercth: Il am totally
nstonished at thy assurance. Jebediah, and
tor this imdignity will sew thee up"
The Weston ladieS, however, are so iona
of kissing that, when saluted on one
cheek they Instantly present the other.
The ClarkSburg girl tussels and scratch
es until ont of breath, when she submits
To her fate with the most exemplary forti-
tude and resignation without murnur.
The Chenille girls fight against being
kissed until they find you are about to give
i: up, then they submit and tell you,
They never expect to speak To you
again"
The Keyser girls just gracefully sub
nit, and then enquire with much concern,
"Don't you want another, dear, to keep
that one company"
The Mariinsburg girls hold still till
they're kissed, when they flare up all ut
once and say: II think you ought to be
ashamed"
If Il Shepierdstown boy should by
chance steal kiss from his girl she gets
real mad, and says: "You put that right

There have been several nice picnics in
this city this year, but tho finest was tho
one which the Ironsidss baseball club had
on Saturday afternoon when they played
the National club, of Philadelphia. This
team played a game in Atlantic City on
Friday loosing by the score of to 8. Tho
seaside nine the day before played an
eleven inning game with the Ross club OF
Chester, one of the finest in the state, the
latter winning by the score CT 1 to 0. From
this the people here believed that the Ma
tionals would give our nine some work, but
they were disappointed. Their nine had
been changed somewhat from tho day
before and Capel, of the Five.Twensy club,
played ut short. The strangers in their
practice game on the field showed q great
would have been better for them if
Game was called at 4 O'Clock, and
went to the bat, and scored one
run by a good hit of Reifsnyder, who
stole to second and was brought in by
HUT. The only other runs scored by the
nine were made in the third and fifth
innings, in each of which they got one by
tolerable good hits and errors. The home
team, upon going to the bat, in the first
inning, scored seven runs their batting
was tremendous, the strangers pitcher
being hit very easily. The Ir0nsides
seemed able to put balls wherever they
desired, and the visitors were unable to
field, and made errors that were frightful
to witness. At one time it was thought
that the inning would last all afternoon,
but three men were finally put out. In
the second inning, two more runs were
made with blank in the third aud three
in the fourth and fifth each. The sixth
inning was repetition of the first.
Such batting as the Ironsides did has never
been seen on the ground. Everybody struck
heavy and several men reached third on
their bats. The visitors could not pick up
the balls, nor could they throw or catch
them, the left fielder muffing no less than
three in this inning. When he held ball
finally he received tremendous applause.
In tho seventh inning the home team made
five moro runs aud for a wonder did not
score in the eighth. They had no use for
their bat in the ninth and did not take it.
This left the score at ths end stand 20 to
in favor of the home club.
The home team had but few errors, and
it was interesting to see how we'll they
played. Sweitzer and Zscher formed the
battery. The pitching Of the former was
very good and the latter did not have a
passed ball. Schiller and Householder did
excellent work at first and third base and
PETER astonished all by his fine game at
second. Hoford, who plays we'll any
place, as usual kept his end up in good
style at short. The fielders each caught a
number of difficult flies and none were
muffed. Of the visitors Siffsr, the catcher,
played the best game, as he caught for no
less than four wild pitchers and worked
hard throughout the game. Capel and
Hunter each made fine catches of hot
balls from the bat and Hutt played a
splendid game at first. The score in full
