MINNESOTA REPUBLICANS.


The Republican State Convention,
which met in st. Paul on Wednesday
last, nominated the present incumbents
for reelection without break It
prom ses therefore to be a quiet year,
politically, and the only question will
be us to the length and breadth Of the
Republican majority.
The platform takes no new ground
and is constructed in such a nom-com-
initial way that nobody can be very
much offended. 1t roars as 'gently us
il sucking dove" 1t declares that the
people should have an opportunity to
vote ON i prohibition amendment if
they want to, and as we took that same
ground in Il number of articles during
last years campaign, we have no ohjec-
ton to declaration so mild

A West Virginia Wonder.

There is in Hampshire county, in this
State, Il human monstrOsity which cXccls
anything Barnum ever exhibited. 1t is n
young woman, or child, born in Pennsyl-
vania in 1865, and therefore eighteen years
old, who is in everything but age IN in
FAINT. She is the daughter of Mr.. John +.
Miller, of Shanesyillc. A gentleman who
recently saw her and learned her age from
reliable authority, found her lying in Il
cradle. She is % inches in height and
weighs but % pounds. She cannot walk
or talk, and eats nothing but milk, which
Is fed from bottle. She has, however,
quick perception and remarkable men,
DRY, and q brief poem or sentence repeated
to her once and weeks after again repeat
ed with but one word varying, HrOuses her
anger, and she frowns ut the changed
words. An article laid down in the room
and in her sight may be allowed to remain
for days, yet an inquiry for it will bo an
swcrcd by the child by pointing in its di-
roction. She Is quits M attractive baby,
and no reason for her stuntcd growth has
ever been assigned. The facts narrated
above seem to be we'll a.tcsted, ind many
physicians have visited the child without
being able to even conjecture tho cause Of
her condition.

large pic mic party from MartinsburS to
Potomac Isle, Il pleasure resort about six
miles below Falling Waters, Wednesday
morning, had a most sad ending in the
drowning of two of the party, Mr.. William
Smurr and his son, Harry Smurr. The
boy, who could not swim, was bathing in
the canal, when he suddenly stepped into
q hole beyond his depth. AS lie sank he
called to his father for help, who immedi-
ately plunged into the water, and rs his
son rose, grasped him and told him to get
OH his back. But the lad seems to have
misunderstood the direction, for ho ex-
citedly seized his father, when both fell
and sank, and were drowned before as
sstancc could be rendered. The bodies
were soon after recovered, but life was
entirely extinct.
Nr. Snurr, who was son Of Mrs. John
Smurr of this place, was u highly-estccm-
ed citizen and IN employee of tho Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad Company. He
leaves wife and five young children.
The son, Harry Smurr. was III his 10th
year, and was employed in tho book store
Of Mr.. VIM. Gcrhardt. Tie sad news of
the drowning reached here Wednesday,
and the mother and sisters Of Mr.. Smurr
attended the funeral in Martinsburg on
Thursday.

cIl;tics.-In conversation Il few days aSo
with an intelligent gentleman from Bal
tIlnorc. he commented upon the fact that
while the Shenandoah Valley Railroad
was i'm many respects of great advantage
To us, vet we derive nothing like the BEN
Gift from the road that We would did its
officers or managers pay more attention
To the needs and interests Of the towns
along its line. Take, for instance, the ac-
commodation train from Shephcrdstown
Ia Hagerstown In the morning and back
ia the evening. IL would certainly not
lie more expansive or impracticable TO get
local train, n this is, to liaSerStown
half hour earlier, which would DC In time
10 catch the morning train for baltimore
OH tho Western Maryland Railroad. And
II i'm the evening Instead of leaving at go
IL would wait until sos p. M. it could
catch the passengers who leave Baltimore
on the D. IN. Western Maryland express.
If this simple arrangement roald DO made
persons COull iNHNt lstlN III INV 'l''' 70
and arrive in Baltimore at II 40 4. M,
transact their business there, and leaving
ut p. IN. arrive in ShepherdStown about
nine o'clock in the evening. business
men in the city could leave Saturday
evening and arrive here In good time 10
spend Sunday with their friends or fami-
lies who may be here, and return Monday
morning in timo for business. AZ 1t Is
now, the only persons who obtain any
advantage from tho Shcpherdstown ac-
commoLatiOn train are the llaGcrstown
merchants, while it is great disadvan-
tagc TO the trade of this town. We have
always considered it good policy for even
independent corporations TO be accommo-
dating when it costs nothing, rather than
Ia build up Il feeling OF prejudice against
it by those who help to support 1t. We
hope that these triiling changes may DO
made, and that We can enjoy privileges
that We have right to expect from this
road.
