The Will of Charles James
FauIkner.---His Religious
Faith.

The will of Mr.. Faulkner has been
placed upon record and from it, we
make the following extracts, emitting
unimportant details. His doctrinal
faith is terse, pointed and meritorious.
He says, "I, Charles James Faulkner,
of Berkeley county, West Virginia,
do hereby make and declare this to
be my last will and testament.
In the execution of so solemn an
act as a last will and testament which
is destined to speak when dust has
returned to its kindred dust and the
spirit has assembled to the God who
madeit, itseems eminentIy proper that
/ should announce my convictions on
certain fundamental doctrines of re-
ligious faith; may say, then, that ]
believe in the existence of one great,
all powerful and all merciful God,
Who is the source of all created mat
TERN the divine nature of Jesus
Christ on earth, in the immortality Of
the soul-in the suffering and death
of Christ as an atonement for sinners,
and in His power and willingness to
save from perdition all who have
faith in his divine nature, and who
act in conformity to his holy teach
ings."
Then he charges his estate with the
payment of all just debts and follows
with the requests to his wife and
children, the latter sharing his large
estate and to his wife the estate OF
Boydvillc is left, with about 700 acres
of land, furniture, pictures, bonds,
notes, mortgages, ETC., to the amount
of one hundred thousand dollars, the
interest or dividends upon which
shall be paid during her life. In this
connection he says, Z" feel that these
devises and requests will, in addition
to her own property on Mill Creek
afford her that ample and comfortable
support to which her excellent char.
acter and domestic virtues entitle
her."
He gives to the corporation of Mar,
tinshurg for the use of its citizens,
his entire library, law and miscel.
laneous, provided within three years
from his death, the necessary means
are subscribed or procured for the
erection of suitable Library Build
ing, and he charges his estate with 8
subscription of 81, 900. therefor.

No Cause for Fear.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 2O.-Gov-
ernor Cleveland was asked by an As
ISOLATED Press reporter to-day if he
was aware Of delusion existing
among colored people of the South
that change in administration would
unfavorably affect their condition, to
which he replied:
Z" Yes, 1 have been astonished at
the statement that there was appre-
hension existing among the colored
people that in some way their rights,
now secured to them under the laws
and constitution of the United States,
were in danger from the election of q
Democratic President. l am even
told that some of them are led to sup
pose that the result of the recent
election means that they may again
be made slaves. All of this has APP
peared to me to be so absurd, and I
have been so sure that the slightest
intelligent reflection would dislodge
such foolish fears, that l can hardly
deem any notice of them necessary.
But there is not the slightest objec-
ton to calling the attention of all
who are in the least uneasy or uncer-
tain upon this subject to the fact that
the title of colored people to freedom
and all the rights of citizenship can
not be disturbed except by change
in the constitution, which it would
be absolutely impossible to make
Besides the present condition or
status of these people has been so
fully accepted by the entire country
that no one should have the slightest
idea that any attempt will be made
to change it, if there was any posi-
bility of accomplishing such thing.
So far as the new administration is
related to this subject, the whole
country can be sure that the lawful
power and jurisdiction of the execu-
tive will be so exercised that the
rights of all citizens, white or black,
under the constitution and the laws,
will be preserved and protected, and
all the advantages to which they are
entitled by reason of their citizenship
will be secured to them. There need
be no fear that either the Democratic
party or its newly-elccted administra-
ton proposes to Cypress or enslave
any part of our population or to de-
stroy the business interests of the
country. We hope, on the other
hand, to do something to benefit the
people. 1t seems to me that our
efforts in that direction would be
aided if mischievous croaking and
dark imaginings should give place
to an earnest endeavor to inspire con-
tidence and to make universal cheer
full hope for the future

Cleveland Still Ahead !
Poor Old Dead Rtpon Altve at Lasl

Mr.. Editor Please allow me the
space in the columns Of your valuable
and newsy paper to announce the
grand Illumination and Torch-Light
procession, on Saturday night, Nov.
90, held in the behalf of Cleveland
and Hendricks in the poor old village
of Ripon, although unnoticed and not
so much thought of during this polit-
ical campaign as to have one political
speech, in behalf of her party, has at
last, even at so late a date (better
late than never) paid their due re-
spect to their president elect. The
illumination consisted of a straw rick
saturated with coal oil, which was
burned upon the lot of DIR. Osburn,
lighting up the village and country
for miles around. After the burning
OF the straw torch-light procession
was formed and marched through the
village, all giving three cheers for
Cleveland and Hendricks, and the
salutes fired from guns and pistols.

The Democrats of Kabletown and
vicinity spread themselves on Tues
day evening, November 18th, by hav-
ing glorious jolifcation over Cleve-
lands election. A torchlight pro-
cession marched through the village,
and then repaired to an eminence in
a field near by where a pole, 80 feet
high, had been raised. A tar-barrel
was placed half way up the pole,
above which an efflgy of Jim G..
Blaine, surmounted by tall hat filed
with powder. The tar-barrel was
fired, old tattoo" was blown to
atoms amidst the widest enthusiasm
and firing of guns. The surrounding
hills were brilliantly lighted by the
FIRE, and the very hills and woods
seemed to rejoice that the country
had escaped the terrible disgrace Of
having that corrupt man, Jim Blaine,
for President.

He proved a deadhead in the enter
prise of carrying the country.
For President in 1SS8-Some man
who hasn't written any letters.
Mr.. Blaine should have burned
those letters himself, instead of ask
ing another fellow to do it.
The trouble began by Blaine's
designation of Conkling as a turkey
gobbler 20 years ago. We presume
the returns mean that Conkling is
not turkey-gobbler.
We believe it was Martin Van
Buren, who said he would rather walk
20 miles than write letter. If Mr..
Blaine had taken more walks and
written fewer letters, he might have
been elected.

Que child crossed the river before the mother.
Three survive to share the sorrow of their
father and cheer his steps as they shorten and
the sun moves to its westering.
Born, lived died and was buried in Winchcs-
ter; and from the same old city she passed, as
we believe, to the Saints Everlasting Rest.
There friends shall meetag who have loved.
Their embraces shall he sweet,
at the dear Redeemers feet,
When they meet to part no more
Who have loved.
