A painful rumor has recently been
current here to the effect that Mr..
Albert Beck, formerly of this county,
had cmbezzled large sum of money
and was in DURANGO vile in Columbus,
Ohio. We tried repeatedly to trace
the report to some reliable source.
and failed to find it verified in sim
gle instance. Within the last day or
two we have been shown a letter from
Mr.. Beck to his brother-in-law, Mr..
c. w. Taylor, from Plkcton, Ohio, in
which he denies the report in toto !;
says he is no express agent, and OK
presses the hope of tracing ont it's
origin. In this VIC trust lie may be
successful, and be able to hold his
traduccr up TO the scorn and con-
tempt of his fcllow-mcn.

Hon: w. H. II. Flick, q. S. Dis
trfct Attorney, has been in Charles
town several times within the last few
days, engaged in preparing material
for a report of an abstract of the
titles to the sites of the proposed inn
provement to the Shenandoah river.
There lies, ;uncxpcnded, in the U. s..
Treasury, two appropriations for the
Improvement of the Shenandoah river,
amounting to $1,000. Before this
could be made available it became
necessary to obtain a release to the
government of all corporate fran
chises in regard to the navigation of
the said river. This, thanks in the
main to the untiring efforts of Hon.
D. B. Lucas, has been done long ago,
but now the Attorney General re-
quircs a report of titles, as above
noted, from District Attorney Flick.
This will require some labor, but we
hope will be made satisfactorily ere
long, and the work upon the proposed
improvements be begun during the
coming summer season.

AT a stockholders meeting of the
Eagle Machine Company at Charles
town, held. at the office of Grove &
Brown, on Tuesday, March 25th,
1884, the Board of Directors was re-
duced from nine to seven, and sew
eral of the old board having declined
to serve, the following were elected:
II. II. Cooke, Forrest w. Brown,
George Washington, Gustav Brown,
W. F. Lippitt, Adam Young and John
7. Colston. The report from the
officials is good showing for the
Company; we will not give it in de-
tail. 1t is now actively at work, we
understand, on a paying basis. Alta
meeting of the newly elected board,
held after the adjournment of the
Stockholders, Forrest w. Brown was
elected President, and II. II. Cooke,

The generous offer of Mr.. Henry
Shepherd to McAdamize, at his own
expense, the several. miles of road
from his farms to shepherdstown, if
the people living beyond and along
the same will deliver the5stone, brings
with it the suggestion of theimprove-
ment of other foads.in the county
Three of the principal roads diverg-
ing from Charlestown to important
points of the Summit Point,
1eetown, and Dufields and on to
Shephefdstown-yet need to be ma
terially improved; and the only sub
stantial way to do it is to McAdamize
them. The experience of the past
winter should surely prompt some
movement in the matter, and we hope
our County Court and the citizens on
these routes will take the matter in
hand. Nothing pays county better
than good roads, and if ever our peo-
pie were Disguised with bad ones. it
has been during the recent wet season.
A special dispatch from Washing
ton to the Wheeling Register. dated
March 25th, says:
The caucus adjourned at 11.45 on
Morrison's resolution to present his
bill to the Committee of the Whole,
and after discussion agree on bill to
reduce the tariff. Wilson voted aye
and Snyder nay. Wilson made a
speech advocating the appointment
of a committee consisting of Carlisle,
Hewitt, Herbert, Eaton and Hopkins,
to report plan to an adjourned meet
ing, but the proposition was not ac-
ceptcd. He considers the final action
of the caucus not binding on any mem
Der, and will vote on the final result as
heretofore indicated in his interview.
The proceedings throughout were in
the main good tempered, land an agree
mcnt is finally predicted.

Concerning Tact.

The nobler creature man yet lacks
one or two points of being perfect, and
among these may be counted rather
general absence of tact. To most wo-
men tact is inborn; to very few men is
it even possible to acquire it. The fem
inine mind, it is true, delights over
much, rs Il general thing, in crooked
speech. An evasion is delight and q
white lie fearful joy. Man, on the
contrary-man al R0tureI-is painfully
blunt and honest. 1t might almost be
said, indeed, that the very best men
cannot possess tact. 1t is an impossi-
bility to their natures. The habit of
thought before speech cannot be ac-
quired. A hearty and genial college
professor, most well-intentioned and
tactless of men, was requested by his
wife to entertain lady visitor until
the hostess herself had finished her
toilette. Descending to the reception
room our professor beamed upon the
guest with q smile whose kindly
warmth must have gone far to over
come the effects of the wild storm that
ragged outside. "a terrible day, pro-
fessor," began the lady with q pleas
ant smile. Indeed it is, madam, " the
honest gentleman rejoined; ''a wild
day. was just saying to my wife that
those who had homes to-day had better
stay in them" A sudden rigidity set
tied upon the countenance of the lady,
and the professor could not understand
why she listened so coldly to his descrip-
ton of new variety of fern which he
had discovered.
Rather worse than the professor was
mild old pastor with a small and
peppery wife. So small was she that
if she wanted to touch his toe at the
dining table, in conjugal warning. she
was obliged to slip far down in her
chair, almost disappearing from view.
At the same instant a corresponding
rise might be observed in the pastor.
He also betrayed himself by hurried
''Eh, my dear? What?" Upon being
admonished that this would not do, he
promised to mend. Very soon a broth
er clergyman dined with him and, alb
sorbed in discussion of the lost tribes,
he unconsciously served to his guest
nearly all of dish of rare and early
peas. At this juncture the wife sank
almost from view below the tables ho-
rizon. The minister was like reverend
Jack-in- the box, and began "Eh?''
Then recollecting instructions he sub
sided, and remarked blandly, 81 think
they will 90 round, my dear!" Either
of these men was capable of almost any
heroic act, and it is, to be sure, not a
vital failing. this want of tact.
Many things, however, which in
themselves are far enough from vital,
do much to affect our lives, and many
a worried woman would become placid,
and many home free from unpleasant
contretemps if only the master could
be gifted with bit of that divine pos.
session, tact-BoStOp Courier.
