Langtry says the most beautiful girls
and women she has seen III America
are those of Virginia. 1t ought to be
remembered that of all judges of
female loneliness women are the poor
est, particularly those who are them
selves pretty. But, passing that, Mrs.
Langtry has not yet visited Frostburg.
The fever has broken out over the
river. About million experimental
holes" are projected and the prospect
for West Virginia becoming the grand
est perforated State in the union is
glorious.
Edward Burnett states that more
butter is spoiled by being overworked
than not being worked enough And
still more is spoiled by packing for
winter use. The unsuspecting, inno-
cent oak keg is the mortal enemy Of
good butter.
The Philadelphia Press tells us that
''lovely woman is coming to the front
in Colorado. She is engaged in every
occupation from preaching the Cos
pei to selling whisky" She is not
an accomplished starveling any
where.
! The contest for Z. S. Senator in
Kentucky has become so bitter that
propositions are made to have the can
| dldates undergo inspection. Gov. Me
Lane is in the same plight, and the
Kentucky plan is safe way out. He
should call all the applicants to An
napohs and have each one expose his
charms. 1t is pretty certain that one
or two of the dead sure" fellows
would miss it this time-and next.

We hear it reported that Hon.
Patrick Carroll, Capt. Thomas Brown
and 24S other applicants for the Mine
lnspectorship, are pcrturbed in mind
about the fate of the democratic party
of Allegany county. In behalf of at
least two of the gentlemen we desire
to remark that any solicitude CON
corning the party of Generals Andrew
jackson and Bradley Y. Johnson is
supertiuouS, as neither have had any
thing to do with the great organization
since 1878 and 1880.
At Tuesdays session of the Orphans
Court George Fresh, of Homecoming,

railroad at Clarysville, was concluded

Valentines are exposed for sale. OF
course some chicken burglar or other
cowardly sneak will send one to the
Journal.
Several candidates for Mine Inspect
or are extremely fearful that some Oh
struction will deraii their invincible
recommendations and ditch their un,
questionable chances. 1t is hoped not.
All should be appointed. We assert
this hope without fear of successful
contradiction, because ii is generally
understood that Frank McMahon
thinks that the supply Of Inspectors
should by all means equal the demand.
This opinion is more fully expressed in
his celebrated lecture entitled "The
Dangers Of Travel i'll Annapolis.''
