A BUSY DAY.

Friday was busy day in III.
House. They Clipped off bill,
on their final passage at the ratl
of about a bill a minute, or les.1
during the forenoon, but fndin I
that the clerks would not be ablf
to get the journals in shape fo 1
adjournment, the Legislative min
was. suddenly stopped with tbl
hopper still piled full of Bills AM
Resolutions.
While waiting on the clerks \
much Of the afternoon was c.
summed in fun and informal, gener,
good humor.
Among the members none COULD
enjoy joke or put one more prac
tieally than the aged Mr.. Albert
Allen, of Boone. He is too jolly ii
be found voting against us, as hi
did.
Another Of the gray-haired mem
bers, was the staunch Prohibi
Zionist from Braxton, Mr.. James
A. Boggs, who served his constit-
uents faithfully and well, never
missing a vote on any question,
during the entire session.
PLEASANT INCIDENTS.
A number Of pleasant incidents
occurred in the way Of testimo-
NAL presentations. Speaker Woods
was presented with a diamond pin
by the Delegates, Mr.. Daley, Of
Mineral, making the speech, and
Mr.. Woods replying. Doorkeeper
Nealis received a c0neing, and other
tokens passed between members,
officers, pages, &c.
A SAD SENSATION,
was caused by the sudden death Of
Mr.. Henry Fry, Senate COMMITTEE
Clerk, on Friday morning Mr..
Fry, OF Greenbrier county, was a
brother-in-law of Ex-Governor
Mathews, and was we'll known in
the lower end of the State, and
much loved and respected for many
excellent qualities. The saddest
fact of his life and death is that he
suffered long, and at last fell at the
cruel hands of that deadly foe we
are so zealously fighting, the de-
mon Of strong drink
His remains were conveyed home
in charge Of a joint committee OF
the Senate and House.
All that could be crowded into
the work of the last of the 45 days,
having been completed, the two
Houses adjourned, sine die, at ~
". m. Friday, Fob. %, and so was
the
LEGISLATURE OF 1888 NON EST.
We want to give our readers a
list of the more important acts

WHEELING NOTES.
The Legislative Shower ends in a
Gust of Bills, and there is
Calm.
EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Last Thursday morning we ran
around the triangle from Parkers-
burg to Wheeling, for the specia!
purpose Of kissing the Legislature
good bye and sending the FREE
MANS respects home to the consult
uencies of the immortal eleven.
We spent most of Friday among
the members, and found the House
heartily ashamed of their ranking
brethren at the other end OF the
Capital for their un-Republlcan
un-Democratic, un-patriotic, impo-
litic and impertinent action IN de-
feating the submission of the
Amendment.
A number of times did we hear
the expressions, Too bad y sit was
shame-an outrage that a few
self-arrogating Senators should ig-
more the people and show such dis
respect to four-ffths vote in the
House.
We also heard it frequently
stated that at least two or three OF
the eleven negatjUe Senators have
realized their mistake and would
vote "aye" if it were before them
again. But such repentance will
not avail them. 1t comes too late.
The thing to do is to see to it that
these have no occasion or opportu-
nifty to vote either faye or "no"
again, for people they have once
betrayed and whom they were UNI
willing to trust.
In the Senate Chamber the hum
bic FREEMAN representative was
surrounded and
BESIEGED AY A TRIO
Of the distinguished, or, as we
should say, e1tinguished eleven,
and for a time we didn't know
but that we were to be drawn and
quartered" on the spot, as warn
ing to this "fanatical Prohibition
sect that is turning the world up
side down.
But we soon learned that these
members of the political Sanhe-
drim were expert Gospel quoters,
and were come to convert us from
The error of our ways by the gentle
movings of "MoraI suasion," which
temperance means Of grace has be-
come SO popular with saloonists
and all the liquor advocates.
They had come to remind the
temperance people OF their lack OF
Christian charity in condemning
their action, and to show that these
were wrong in denouncing the
liquor traffic and it's friends in the
Senate, as they have done, the
Hon. Mr.. Scott reminded us
that such was not the spirit
manifested by the Master while in
the world-that he lodged and ate
with publicans and sinners, that
he might win them.
We of course admitted the truth
of the Scriptures, but reminded the
Honorable
VOLUNTEER GOSPEL EXPoUNDER
that in the instances referred to
there was disposition to hear the
truth and a willingness to be saved
but that Christ dealt not so with
j1corrigjble sinners. These he de-
nounced as "hypocrites" and "whited
sepulchres full of dead mems
bones;" and when these selfish
arrogant "hypoerites" would not
hear and persisted in profaning the
Temple, he hesitated not to drive
them out with whip, and turn
: the tables Of their unholy traffic

unequaled, not only as a remedy for con-
sumption of the lungs, but for all chronic
diseases Of the liver, blood, kidneys and
lungs.
If you feel dull, drowsy, debilitated, have
sallow color of skin, or yellowish brown
spots on face or body, frequent headache or
dizziness, bad taste in mouth, internal heat
or chills, alternated with hot flashes, low
spirits and gloomy forebodings, irregular
appetite and tongue coated, you are suffering
from indigestion, dyspepsia, and torpid liver
or biliousness." In many cases only part
of these symptoms are experienced. As a
remedy for all such cases, DIR. Pierce's Gold
en- Medical Discovery has no equal, as lief
fects perfect and radical cures.
For weak lungs, splitting of blood, short
breath, consumptive night sweate and kim
dred affections, it is sovereign remedy. In
the cure of bronchitis, severe coughs and
consumption, it has astonished the medical
faculty, and eminent physicians pronounce it
the greatest medical discovery of the age.
The nutritive properties possessed by cod
liver oil are trifling when compared with
those of the Golden Medical Discovery. It
rapidly builds up the system and increases
the flesh and weight of those reduced below
the usual standard of health by wasting
diseases.
The plan of treatment that we have so
briefly outlined in this article for the large
class of chronic diseases referred to, has long
been acknowledged to be the most success
full, based as it is upon the belief shared by
the most skillful medical men of the day,
that the only way to get rid of the nox-
ious disease-producing germs in the blood
and system is through the liver, kidneys and
bowels, and therefore that those agents
which are known to act most efficiently in re-
storing healthy action of these organs are the
ones most to be relied upon. For this pur-
pose the Golden Medical Discovery is pre-
eminently the agent that fulfills every indica-
ton of treatment required.

FOR THE FAIR SEX.
Counting in India.


Counting in Burmah is all done at
night. Burmese houses are all on
piles, and never more than one story
high. AS general rule there are only
two or three rooms altogether, and
there are, therefore, but two courses
open to the elders. They must either
go out and wander about while the
counting goes on, or they must OTTO bed.
The former alternative does not COM
mend itself to the mother, who likes
90 saperintend operations for herself
through a convenient slit in the bam-
500 walls; and going off to bed as it
were at a word of command is only
compatible with most mild and yield
ing disposition in the faEher. Conse-
-queatly, when the girl is arrayed for
c0nQRest-tlOwers twined in her hair,
fragrant cosmetics on her cheek and
neck, and her finger-nails delicately
tinted-it is not always possible to
summon the ardent youth forthwith.
He is outside, dressed in his smartest
and with couple of companions bent
possibly on the same errand as him
self, but he is obliged to stay there till
ne gets the signal that the coast is
clear and that he may come up.
Every youth has his own pri-
waite signal by means of which
he announces to his lady-love his
arrival in the street. This is almost
q invariably effected by means of fiddle
with two strings. 1t is sad fact that
Young BOrmah is lamentable failure
On the fiddle. Eacl youth must have
bis own particular call, that the lady
nav know who it is that is coming,
and not be imposed upon by mischiev-
Gus jOkers or rowing, irresponsible gal
Iants. Paganini is said to have played
bewitehingly on one string. The Bur-
man is successful only in producing
horrible sounds on two. There is a
great lack of inventiveness in these
counting calls. One youth confines
himself to the down stroke, and drones
away monOtonously, but with great
staying power. When at last the
happy man receives his summons there
Is peace again for a time, only, how
ever, to be interrupted in something
leSSS than an hour, when, the sweet
nothings having all been said as best
they can be before an unsympathetic
audience, the young men issue forth to
go 70 some other girls house, where
another OF the party is interested.
And so it goes on until it is too late to
make further rounds, and relieved
neighbOrhOOd sighs with delight.

A Boston telegram says: Captain Joseph
Fuller, OF the bark Pilots Bride, OF New
London. who has Just arrived here, tells a
remarkable story OF shipwreck and cast
away life. The Pilots Bride left New Lon
don April II, 1880. for the Island Of Desc

SAYS
owe could not roast everything very
well, for the reason of the peculiar way in
which we were obliged to build our tire.
We had not enough wood TO last to keep
up a fire, and we used the blubber Of sea-
elephants as fuel. These creatures were
killed in abundance as we caught them
crawling on the beach. We built
a fire OF wood, and placed this
blubber above on crosS-sticks. The heat
caused the oil to drop down continually,
thus keeping up the blaze. 1t was nice
continuance for fire. but it impaired an
exceedingly unpleasant smoky and oily fla
VOr to the food and we were obliged to be
very careful. VS. also found growing
about a species of wild cabbage, which we
cooked and ate frequently. Our chief
trouble was to find clothes our garments,
though shabby, held together. but our
shoes after a while gave out. We
tried TO supply their places by boots
made from sea elephants hide, but
the trouble with that was they soaked
water too fast. Finally we were reduced
to shoes, the bottom, Of which were made
OF plank and the uppers of canvas. The
men now began IA become discontinued
and wanted TO have their own way. One
night some six OF the dissatisfied stole our

the next morning took them over to an
