In accordance with the expressed wishes OF

mittce of the Second Cong cssional District OF
the State Of West Virginia the voters of the
said district arc requested to assemble in their

So crowns womsn's life with honor as the

a boy to turn out badly who began by fall

neglect the poor, wea-y wife in after years.
But the big boy who is lover of his moth

a PINE RECORD.

Wednesdays New York Herald contained
the following editorial notice Of Powell
Clayton, whom the Blaine men attempted
to foist upon the Chicago convention as tenn
porary chairman:
"Thc Impudent endeayor Of the Blaine
mon to impose Mr.. Powell Clayton's empty
sleeve upon the sympathy Of the four hum
dred and twen,y-ninc old soldier delegates
at Chicago as the badge of n wound gained
in fighting for his country was silly trick.
Clayton, Pennsylvania, went through thc
civil war unscathed 10 body, and at It's close
suuatted In Arkansas, which had been the
scene of his exploits in command of reg
imcnt of Kansas troopers who got the name
Of 'iayhawkers.' In 1866 he was elected
carpet t-bag Governor, and in 1867 hc.declared
martial Law oil over the State and raised
negro militia TO enforce 1t, who copied tho
example Of his 'jayhawkers' so faithfully
that there would no. have been much per
sonal property left there If he had not dis
banded them. IL was about this time that
he shot himself in the arm, while he was out
cunning FOR rabbits, and lost the limb by
amputatiOn The Arkansas Legislature Inn
peached him IN a year or two, but he eyaded
the Impeachment and even got himself O.
lected q carpet-bag Senator. Hlstiile 20 the
seat was disputed at Washington upon char
ges tha: he had secured his election by cor
rupt bargains,' bat the majority Of the COM
mittce Of investigation reported that they
were not conelusiyely proven. Since the
end Of his Senatorial term his only promi-
men: public appearance was in July, 1882
when he made speech about what he cal
led the true republican policy which he
said, was TO take for platform the present
and the future and let tie dead past bury
its dead, and we have no doubt that hc
meant what he said, for there was very little
in MS own past which he should not have
been glad TO bury be could. But, although
he has been living quietly for several years
in Thieves Row at Little Rock, the COM
plants Of the Arthur managers about biz
treachery 10 them disclose the fact tha; ho
never has lost sight Of the main chance.
Among the Offices specified in our Chicago
dispatches rs now enjoyed by lis dependents
in Arkansas It Is mentioned that his brother
is the federal District Attorney, brother
in-iaw is Collector Of fIuternal Reyenue and
former business partner Is Postmaster.
And yet there are Northern republicans
who persist in wondering why the South
continues sOlidly democratic"

"Oh, no, they don't" said Nellie as
swee.ly as before "A thing looks as well
in one place as another"
Toms face rediened.
Il never saw your roem look like this be-
FORE" he said hcsi.atingly. " should not
like to have anyone step in"
"why not" said Nellie. We might as
well keep things handy. What's the use of
having house II YOU can't keep things
where you want TO 2?
Toms facc got redder and rcdder. He
tried to look serious and then broke into
laugh.
"Oh, that's your game. Is ii" he said
Trying to beat me with my own weapons
"Well, then, I'll make abargain with you.
As long as you keep your things in their
places I'll dc the same but whenever you
don't"
"Oh, will, +" said Tom. "comc, Nellie,
I'll confess like man-you have beat me
this time. Only just pu, things right in this
awful room. and I'll never throw anything
down again"
Nellie rose and laughing held up her
sweet mouth for kiss of peace.
And thcn, under the magic influence OF
her def fingers, confusion was suddenly
banished and when Mr.. Granger came round
to spend the evening he decided that nobody
had a prcttlcr wife or tldler home than his
friend Tom Carter.
Wise little Nellie, having gained posses
sion of the matrimonial field, took good care
to keep 10 it until Tom was quite cured OF
his careless habits.
Sometimes he seemed threatened with d
relapse bu. Nellie, instead OF scolding,
only had quietly to bring something OF her
own and lay it beside whatever he had tos'
sed down, and it was sure TO be put away
Immediately, for Tom seldom failed TO take
the hint.
And if some other little woman, as tidy
and clean as Nellie, takes hint also, this
story will have served It's purpose.

wine. which is the better for the long years
which have passed since the vintage. In
