MIXED SCHooLs.-When it is asser, ed
that the policy of Malone leads inevitably to
mixed schools, the followers OF Malone deny
it, and say that there is no danger of mixed
schools, and that the colored people them
selves do not desire them. The evidence
is conclusive, not only that they do desire
mixed schools, but that they are now tax
ing steps to secure them. The convention
of colored editors that assembled recently
in st. Louis adopted a resolution in favor
of mixed schools. They are intelligent
representatives Of their race, and they
know that the colored people desire mixed
schools, and they will do all they can to
have them, and it viii be effected in this
State in a comparatively short time if Ma
hone succeeds in his political schemes

SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTISER

The STRIKE OF THE BROTHERHOOD OF
TELEeRAPHERs. The disagreement be-
tween the telegraph operators OF the leading
lines and their employers eliminated at
noon Thursday in general strike through
out the country, the Western Union, Mutual
Union, Baltimore and Ohio, American Rap
tual Union of Canada losing at the same
id, Great Northwestern of Canada and Mu-
moment all that considerable part of their
force belonging to the Telegraphers' Broth
erhood, estimated at 1000 persons, includ-
ing 1 900 women. The demands ofthe Broth
erhood, says the Baltimore Sun, are for an
increase of l 5 per cent. on all salaries, the
restriction of days work to eight hours
and nights work to seven hours, equal
pay to both sexes for equal work, extra pay
for Sunday work, and certain advances in
the remuneration for work done by the
Wheatstone system calculated to prevent
the general substitution of this for the Morse
| system. To these demands the Western
Uuion Telegraph Company replied with cal
culations aiming to show their extravaganza
and impractibility. AS usual, there are
| two sides to the question. In fact, there are
| three, the business public having incom-
parably greater interests at stake than
either of the parties to the conflict. On
| this account it is to be regretted that the
action taken yesterday does not bear more
evidence of having been arrived at after due
| consideration of all the interests involved.
| It would have been better if there had been
more effort on the part of the telegraph
| companies, as well as their employees, by a
| calm statement of their differences, by
rational discussion and the cultivation of a
conciIiatory temper, to avoid a rupture full
of injury to the innocent public.
| M. W. Wilkinson, a farmer, living near
| Elsberry, Mo-, was assassinated Tuesday
night by some unknown person, who en-
tered his house and shot him with double
barreled shotgun while he was asleep.
Two colored girls, aged 10 and Z, respect
lively, children of Bette Madison, fell from
bridge over Naked Creek, Page county

sonic ceremonies. Fully 10000 persons

BETRAYED INTO MOCK MARRIAGE
About year ago two brothers named
Clayton attempted to ruin Miss Mary Harro-
yer, the beautiful daughter of respectable
farmer of Richie county, West Virginia.
Failing in this, the younger brother sue
ceeded in winning the young lady's affec-
tions, and she was prevailed upon to con-
sent to a private marriage. One night the
couple started for carriage drive. At a
certain point they met the elder Clayton
disg used as a minister. The marriage cere.
mony WAS performed, and the young couple
started to settle down in the mountains.
Four weeks afterwards the young lady was
informed that she had been deceived, and
she returned home and told her story. The
Claytons were arrested and tried in Richie
county last week and found guilty. The
younger one was sentenced to three years
in the penitentiary at Moundsville, and the
elder, who acted as the minister, was fined
$500.

A JUST RERUKE--We remember to have
seen once, directly after the war, old Com
modore Vanderbilt, plainly dressed, plain
looking old gentleman, driving sham
bling horse, and seated in an old open-top
buggy, making his way slowly through the
dashing crowd of fashionable people, with
gay equipages, in Fifth Avenue. He looked.
for all the world, like an old country gen.
tleman, who was driving into town to sell
his crop of wool, or other product of the
field. Nobody would have taken him to be
the possessor Of millions.
Well, the following anecdote, which con-
veys a good moral, is related of the old
Commodore:
CAT Saratoga, on one occasion, when
sitting on the piazza of a hotel. somewhat
over dressed lady approached and claimed
his acquaintance. The Commadore rose
and talked affably with her, while his wife
and daughter shifted the air with scorn.
Father, said the young lady, as the COM
modore resumed his seat, didn't you re-
member that vulgar Mrs. Bias the woman
who used to sell poultry to us at homer
| Certainly responded the old gentleman
promptly, and l remember your mother
when she used to sell root beeer at three
cents glass over in Jersey, when went
up there from Staten Island peddling oys-
tiers out Of my boat "
The Commodore showed his good sense
in the above, and very forcibly reminded
his plutocratic daughter that, in q country
like ours, the aristocracy OF wealth often
rests on slender foundations, and cannot
plume itself on genealogy, to any great ex-
tent. -Lynch5wg Tdrginian.
Robert Bonner, of New York, editor of
the Ledger and one Of the most successful
advertisers of the day, says of advertising
in answer to a correspondent Gone of the
points of good advertising is to address the
same people over and over again. For in
stance Suppose you were introduced, with
about 500 others, to the President, the
chances are that the President would not
remember you. But if you had an oppor-
tunity of seeing him again, and said, Mr..
President, am Charles Wolsey, of Brook
Ign Senator So-and-so did me the honor of
introducing HE to YOU and you did this
two or three times you would be sure to
be remembered. In the same way an adj
vertisement presented once is forgotten al
most invariably, and so thrown away,
while one presented three or four times
makes an impression. Mr.. Bonner ought
to be good judge Of such things, as a
great part of the fortune he has amassed
as acquired through judicious and per-
siSfent advertising
