A Great scheme.-We eopv the


following from one of our State ex-
changes: Secretary Of State Stalnakcr
issued a certificate of incorporation to the
West Virginia Publishing Company, Of
Charlestown, Jefferson county, formed
for the purpose of publishing weekly
newspaper and doing general printing
and publishing business. The resources
of the corporators are apparently modest
and their ambition great, as the capital
stock is so far but So, though the privilege
is reserved Of increasing this by sales of
additional shares from time to time to
$4,000. The incorpOrators are X. 5.
Eichelberger, of Berkeley county, and E.
w. Bedinger, Joseph Trapnell, B. c.
Washington and j. L. Colston, of Jetfer-
son county, each Of whom has one share
of $l0."
\ correspondent of the Wheeling Reg
lister, writing OF the recent Democratic
conference in Parkersburg, says: "Of
course no political conference would be
complete without its crank. ID. l.. Lucas
was on hand from the wealthy and over
whelmingly Democratic county of Jciter-
son, with Il begging letter to the National
| Committee for 81 900, ostensibly TO aid Il
| Democratic club in that county, whose
! chief object of existence seems to be for
the passage of resolutions at the beck of
that other distinguished Jefferson county
crank. Tax Commissioner Mason, de-
nouncing other Democrats of the State.
But | am informed that it is surmised by
persons in that vicinity that the real OBJ
| iect was to bleed the poorly lied Demo-
cratic treasury of 81 900 to aid this pair
! i'm the establishment of newspaper
sorcan' of the crank fraternity Of west
Virginia If Mr.. Lucas got his 81 900 l
have no. heard of it,"
Our readers will add one to the other
and form their opinions. 1t will be re-
membered that last spring an effort was
made to start such a paper in Charles
town, but for some reason the bottom
dropped out. The scheme is now being
revived and the paper is intended osten-
sibly to mold public opinion in this coun-
ty and State, and, after time, in the
| United States and Europe. The real OBJ
iect is said to be to provide place for a
/ LAWYER without clients.

studied the fish supply of Western Mary
land have become alarmed at the results
which have been produced by the intro
dnction of bass into the Potomac and the
neighboring streams. The bass are very
voracious in their habits, and attack all
kinds of aquatic life for food. They have
either devourcd or driven away most Of
the fall-fsh, the suniish, the catfish and
other native fish, and they have greatly
diminished the number of cells, and have
even destroyed many of the turtles and
water-snakes. If this wholesale destruc-
ton continues, it will not be long before
the bass will be almost the only fish in our
waters, and then the question as to their
future food will be difficult TO decide.
They have increased very rapidly, anG are
now found in large quantities in all the
streams which enter the Potomac.

A jefferson County DcmostIic.

mesa correspondent of the Wheeling
! Mtelligencer, who signs himself tx,
writes rs follows from this county:
con Saturday night last 4 few Republic
cans living ut the Bloomery Mills, about
three miles South of Charlestown, got up
meeting and sent to Mr. James ID. Butt,
of IIarpcr's Ferry, an invitation to come
up and make Il speech. Precisely at 5
o'clock Mr.. Butt was on hand, and found
a large number Of former Democrats
among lis audience. The meeting was
organized, and for two hours the speaker
entertained his hearers with Il fair, candid
and logical argument i'll favor OF the
principles of the Republican party, which
was not only unan Swcrable, but carried
conviction to the minds and hearts OF
those who heard him, rs the result will
show, for at the conclusion of his speech
nineteen voters, two OF whom only have
ever voted the Republican ticket, came
forward and signed a pledge to vote for
Blaine and Logan. listened to Mr.. Butt
and pronounce it one of the most mastery
to which have ever listened, and similar
to the brilliant one which | heard Gen.
Cot make at llarper's Ferry in 1876 when
he was running for Governor. MIR. Butt
will deliver the same speech at every vot-
ing precinct in the county, and if it
proves us effective rs at Bloomery Mills,
what is to become of the boosted Demo-
cratic majority in Jefferson county:'
This is one Of the most thrilling things
we have read during the campaign. 1t
seems almost useless to have such speak
ers as Ran Tucker, L. Willis Wilson, eX-
Governor Hamilton, Henry 5. Walker,
Il. Boyd Faulkner and OTHERS 80 70 t'le
trouble of making speeches in the county,
when Mr.. Butt follows them up and I'M
does all their good work. Those of our
readers who recognize the ear marks OF
the correspondent will not be alarmed,
however.

a Cure for MaIaria.-Dr. Crudelli,

4 Cure Tor VI lIarIa.-Dr.C ruueIII,
an eminent Italian authority, says that
the best preventative of malarial attacks
is treatment which was once sneercd at
as an sold woman's remedy" The rem
edy, briefly, is as follows: One lemon cut
into pieces, pccling and all , put into three
moderate glassfuls of water, which is
boiled down to one glassful, and after
cooling and stirring through linen, is
swallowed by the patient at one draught
while fasting. This treatment has been
adopted successfully in the deadly marsh
of the Roman Campagna, and deserves a
trial in all fever-haunted countries.
