LFor the Spirit of Jcffsrson.1
Are CharIestown's Interests
Identical with those of the
South :?

The above question admits of nc
cquivocal answer. It must be yes OF
no. If yes, then all her efforts must
be directed in the same channels and
towards Tie same ends.
What are the objects for which the
South is striving? Will not the an
swer be, the full development of all
her resources of wealth and power.
That this is so, we have but to read
the history that is daily being made,
and in it we will find that not only her
sister sections of the Union, but for
cign nations are not only giving cheer
ing words, but assisting with men and
money, expecting. and justly, to
share in her glory and wealth.
Located, as we are, upon her
northern border, what have we been
and what are we now doing to assist
her, and cntitle us to share in her
future greatness?
If we have done and are doing
nothing, why is it? Is it because VIC
are too far from her cotton fields to
manufacture into cloth her raw ma
terial? The answer undoubtedly is
yes, and do justice to ourselves.
But are we too far from the iron,
coal and water 10 manufacture the
machinery for her cotton mills, and
save her hundreds of miles of trans
portation? It's 81 fact worthy of con-
sideration, that there is not a machine
shop south of Philadelphia. for the
manufacture of cotton mill machinery.
Can we supply the want, and do jus
ticc to ourselves?
Let us see what it will cost, and
what it will pay to make a trial upon
a small scale. have been crcditably
informed, that sI5. 200 or $50, 900 will
build shop, procure the machinery
and material to be manufactured, and
pay the wages of fifty or sixty hands
for four months, by which time re-
turns for the machinery manufactured
will commence coming in, about one
third of which returns will be profit.
Some place south of Philadelphia
will secure the prize. Do we want
it? If so, let us make an effort to
secure it before it is too late.

The last regular convocation of
Jefferson Chapter. No. 5, r: A. NJ,
of this place, on Monday evening of
last week, will probably be looked
back upon as about tho most interest
ing in the history of that body. In
addition to the induction of several
members of the Blue Lodge into the
higher mysteries and beauties of the
Chapter degrees, the meeting was
made the occasion for the presentation
of magnificent Jewel to N. f. II. p.
Gustav Brown, from the Grand Royal
Arch Chapter of West Virginia, as a
mark OF high regard and cstcom for
the faithful performance of the duties
of the position named. The Jewel is
Maltese Cross, of old gold, set with
beautiful stones representing the
Twelve Tribes of Israel, and is beau
tifully wrought, with Hebrew charac-
tiers pertaining to Masonry upon its
face. Inscribed upon its reverse side
is:.
Presented by the NJ L. Grand
Royal Arch Chapter of West Virginia
to Gustav Brown, 81. f. G. II. P.
1885,"
The presentation address, by For
rest w. Brown, Esq. is highly spoken
of, and was appropriately responded
to, we learn, by the recipient of the
Jewel, who, we doubt not, will wear
it worthily and houorabIy.
The pleasant proceedings of the
lodge-room over, the members adj
journed to the handsome Oyster Par
lor of Mr.. Brown, where they and
several invited guests (ourself among
the number) were elegantly banquet
ed-thc best of the season of articles
suitable for the occasion being served
in the bestpossible style. Altogether
it was very delightful affair, and
will be pleasantly remembered by all
who were present,

BERKELEY IrEMs.-The following

BERKELEY IrEMs.-Thc following
we copy from the Statesman
Mr.. John B. Wilson has rendered
his resignation as Cashier of the PEG
pies National Bank.
Mr.. John L. Janney, on Thursday
last, sold his valuable farm, one mile
from Martinsburg, to Mr.. George S.
Roush, for S1O,O cash.
The Hon. Daniel b. Lucas deliver
ed an eloquent and interesting lecture
at Feller's Hall, under the auspices
of the Martinsburg Lyccum, on Mon
day night last, on the life and char
acter of John Randolph of Roanoke.
Mr.. Lucas gave succinct and I'M
vanished history of Mr.. Randolph
connection with the political issues
of his day and generation, and show
eel that at all times and upon every
question, he was on the side of the
people and Republican institutions as
opposed to the tendency to royalty
that existed in those days. 10 say
that the subject was most ably han
died, seems to be supcrhuous, as the
we'll known reputation of Mr.. Lucas
as an orator and profound thinker arc
too we'll known to admit of a doubt on
that subject. The interest in the
lecture may be imagined. when it is
known that the audience listened with
wrapt attention in an atmosphere
the temperature of which was very
little above the freezing point.

Some level-headed editor has
evolved the following, which is floating
about among our exchanges. 1t is so
exceedingly well put and will be of so
much interest to many of our con-
tributors that we are constrained to
publish it entire:
SIT is unwritten law, we'll under
stood in journalism, that no editor is
under the slightest obligation to give
a reason for acceptance or MONACO
ceptauce of a manuscript. He is not
called upon to write private critique
on the article to the author off it. His
acceptance or rejection is an absolute
and unquestiOnable fact. Among
amateur writers this does not seem
to be understood. All sub-editors
and reporters understand that it is an
unjustiiable impertincnce to ask the
editor for reasons for not publishing
any matter submitted to his judgment.
Outside writer's and aspiring amateurs
rarely seem to comprehend this truth,
and their transgrcssions are largely
from ignorance rather than inatten-
ton. The nature of editorial work
requires absolute power of decision
in order to preserve the unitics of the
journal the editor Conducts
Baltimoreo1.

The Bears Head.

At Queens College, Oxford. the old
custom of serving boar's head at the
Christmas dinner is observed. The
usage, according to tradition, commem
crates the brave act of a former stu
dent of the college:
While walking i'll the neighboring
forest and reading Aristotle's work ON
logic, he was suddenly attacked by a
wild boar. The furious beast rushed
open mouthed upon the youth He.
with happy presence of mind.
crammed the volume into the boar's
month, crying. "G,dcum est ut is
ircekp!' and fairly clloked tie savage
with the sage. The following are two
of the stanzas of the song which is
sung as the bears head is brought into
the college diningroom:
Sc dreadful this hr>tc backed Toe did appear,
Yon'd have sworn he'd got til. wrong piy bv the
ear,
But instead Of avoiding the mouth OF the beast,
He rainm'd in volume, and cric,, -"t,it,rr,,i
