One of these bright days we will
be surprised by the shrek of loco
motive ON our river bank. We have
been accustomed to so many delays
and disappointments in the progress
of the work that we expect to be
surprised when the last rail is laid
and we hear the engine whistle We
are glad to believe that there is now
fair prospect that the road will be
completed before winter catches it.
We are reliably informed that the
Buffalo bridge is nearly done. The
ballast is ready for the road-bed.
The ties and rails and little bridges
can soon be run across the river. and
when track laying once begins they
will soon cover the distance between
Fairmont and Morgantown.
We have all speculated a great
ucdl dDOuJ Juc DeHcUtS Vi railroad.
and yet, the realization will proba-
bly,, be far beyond our fancies. 1t
will create speedy revolution in
our modes oflife, our social relations,
our individual habits and move
ments, and will soon make of us
quite different people. We will all
go more away from home, and many
more visitors will come to us, so
that we will see more of the world.
We will become a part of the world.
We will breathe its spirit and enter
into its activities. We can run to
Wheeling in the morning and return
in the evening. We can take lit
tie trip to many places which now
seem to be quite journey away, and
it will require but a few hours and
very little money. In short, we will
only begin to live when we have
these advantages.

The Pail Mall Gazette, a London
paper, has lately published some ar
ticles that reveal the vice that is
daily being carried on in that city.
1t is insufficient to say that the rev.
Citations made startle the entire civ
ilized world. Civilization! Civil
lied England! The next man You
hear using such meaning words
but in this case worse than mean
ingless-ask him if he takes the
Pail Mall Gazette. If he says he
does not-and of course his ignor-
ance would show he does not-ad-
wise him to read few back numbers
of the aforementioned paper. The
fact that the heir to the throne of
England has spent a third Off CEN
tury in robbing the poor, helpless
and innocent maidens of London of
their virtue almost gives the lie to
the much mouthed phrase "advanc-
ing civilization, and places the met
ropolis of the world on a par with
Sodom in her most corrupt days.
These late revelations is total
eclipse of even Henry VIII. "Social
purity put to blush by hereditary
rulers" not only in the past but
more so at present.
But those who live in glass houses
should not throw stones" True
enough. flour cities have adopted
this late edition of patent vices and
we consequently live in a glass house,
we should be very thankful if some
fellow would be kind enough to
throw an entire conglomerate cliff
through it. Infinitely smaller things
than what has been lately stated
and proved by the Pail Mall Ga
zette have deservedly robbed kings
of their crowns.
