A NUMBER of newspapers, mostly out
side Of the State, are taking it for granted
that T;lden is the frs: and last choice of
West Virginia Democrats at the coming
convention i'm Chicago. We are afraid
that when the time comes to count noses
tins opinion will change, for while COM
paratively few have been shouting loudly
for the old ticket in this State, the major
iiy Of our people will want 4 leader able
To conduct vigorous campaign, aud fill
the Presidential chair with dignity and
manliness when elected. There Is too
much settled opposition to the old ticket
to make its nomination wise one.
IT is hard to tell which were the great
est rascals-the star-route thieves or the
so-called lawyers who prosecuted them.
In the testimony before Springer's inves-
tigating committee in Washington it has
been developed that Mr.. George Bliss for
his services in the stsr-route cases receiv-
ell, including personal expenses, Sol, 1872,
III average of over $3.50 u day for salary
and over $40 day for personal expenses.
Mr.. Ker received $3l ,9l4.77, an average Of
over $3.50 day. lie charged $4,000 for
preparing indictments, one Of which had
10 lie abandoned. Mr.. Merrick received
$37, 800 and Mr.. Cook about $1,000. In all,
these sharks BLEED the Government to the
amount of sl44, 1862 in trying cases in
which they were not able to get one con-
victiOn, notwithstanding the publicly
known guilt OF the defendants.

In Coffee. county, Ala, difficulty oc-
Cured between a Mrs. Hughes and her

killed the former. Mrs. Hughes and her
husband separated somc years ago,
Hughes unlawfully living with the sister.
He died few months ago, and the widow

and the trouble arose in which Mrs.
Hughes was fatally stabbed.

The wife Of DR.. B. B. Matthews, of
Bound BROOK, N. j., was killed Saturday
night by the accidental discharge OF rife

who was in failing health and about to
start for Florida, had purchased repeat
ing rifle as part Of his outfit, and was show
ing it to some friends when the weapon
was discharged, the ball passing through

When this woman discovered the
land it was under water, who after
wards settled her sons In it; and
thus, from Ham, sprang that race
which preserved the curse in the
land Now the first government of
Egypt was established by Pharaoh,
the eldest son Of Egyptus, the
daughter Of Ham, and it was after
the manner of the government of
Ham, which was Patriarchal. Pha-
raoh being a righteous man, estab-
| lished his kingdom and judged his
people wisely and justly all his
days, seeking earnestly to initiate
that order established by the faith
ers in the first generations, in the
first Patriarchal reign, even In the
reign of Adam, and also Of Noah,
his father, who blessed him with
the blessings Of the earth, and with
the blessings of wisdom, but cursed
him as pertaining to the Priest
hood.
Now, Pharaoh being Of that lin
cage by which he could not have
the right Of Priesthood, Notwith-
standing the Pharaohs would fain
claim it from Noah, through Ham,
therefore my father was led away
BY their idolatry; but | shall en-
\deavor, hereafter, to delineate the
chronology, running back from my
self to the beginning of the crea-
ton, for the records have come in
to my hands, which [ hold unto
this present time. =;
Now, after the priest Of Elkenah
was smitten that he died, there
came a fulGllment Of those things
which were said unto me concern
ing the land of Chaldea, that there
should be a famine in the land.
Accordingly famine prevailed
throughout all the land of Chaldea,
and my father was sorely torment
ed because of the famine, and he
repented Of the evil which he had
determined against me, to take a.
way my life But the records OF
the fathers, even the Patriarchs,
concerning the right Of Priesthood,
the Lord my God preserved in
mine own hands, therefore knowl-
edge Of the beginning of the crea-
ton, and also of the planets, and OF
the Stars, as they were made known
unto the fathers, have [ kept even
unto this day, and I shall endeavo1
to write some of these things up
on this record, for the benefit OF
my posterity that shall come after

AN ITEM OF INTEREST.

In regard to animals running at
large in the streets, it will be an
Item Of Interest" to the owners to
make themselves better acquainted
with the City Law against such an
|atrocity. We presume many are
aware they are breaking the law
when they turn their animals into
the street, to wade up and down
the bitches and tincture the water
with their muck; yet they seem to
be Needless Of the consequences,
therefore, their animals are becom-
ing a nuisance, and if people per-
sist in turning their stock into the
street, they will be likely to find
their animals in the street pound,
SO they had better prepare to pay
the expenses. ..f.
We think the City fathers ought
to have the city laws compiled and
printed in book or pamphlet form,
SO people could procure copies and
make themselves conyersant there
with, that the laws may be more
promptly obeyed and officers be
better enabled to execute the same.

The circulation of the GAZETTE is steadily in
creasing, and that, too, among people who consult
its advertising columns generally before purchas-
ing the numerous articles they are constantly in

from the fact that large country edition-equal-
~ as large as the daily-is sent out all over this
section of country three times a week, and is
read By thousands most of whom send here or
to contiguous cities for what they have neither
the time or INCLINATION to purchase in person. 1t
of course follows that they read advertisements
in order to find where purchases be madesatis-
factorily. The advantages of advertising in the
GAZETTE arc thus apparent, and need no further

PAPER AS A PROTECTION FROM COLD
Much suffering in cold weather would be
avoided ii the value of paper as protec-
ton FROM cold, was fully appreciated. A
single thickness Of common newspaper
spread upon the bed between the coverings
will give more warmth than blanket, and
a single thickness paper wrapped about
the person affords more protection than an
extra garment. By inserting folded news
paper over the chest, under the overceat,
perfect protection is afforded when, facing
the most cutting wind. Soft paper also may
be wrapped advautsgeously about the tee'
aud limbs.

Lonely and dark, by fruits and flowers unbleSt'

An angel softly walks,
With pale sweet face. and eyes cast meekly down.

She weaves my fitting crown.
\ sweet and patient grace,
4 look OF firm endurance, true and tried,
OF su dering meekly borne, rests on her face
So pure. glorited.
And when NY fainting heart
Desponds, and murmurs at its adverse fate,
Then quietly the angels bright lips part,
Whispering softly-"wat!
