Resolutions of Respect.

At meeting of the Board of Directors
Of the National Bank of West Virginia, al
Wheeling, on the 22d of May, 1885, to pay
a tribute of respect to the memory Of James
Maxwell, Esq, lately deceased, the com
mittee appointed 10 report preamble and
resolution expressive Of the feelings Of the
meeting, submitted the following, which
were unanimously adopted:
james Maxwell, late the honored Presi.
dent of the Bank, who was greatly endeared
TO US and highly respected by all for the
many virtues that adored his character
having been summoned from US by Death,
it is eminently proFe; that we should express
our appreciation of the deceased and cur
own grief for his departure from our
midst.
His conservative business character and
his ripe Judgment, coupled with courte'
ous and affable department, were prominent
traits of character, OF strict uprightness and
integrity in all the relations Of life, he was
prompt and perseveriug, and lived to see
his labors crowned with deserved success.
Long and intimately connected as ne was
with our leading business interests, his
death occasioned no small loss to our whole
community; but in special manner do we
ft that his death has deprived this bank Of
a wise and experienced cosnsellor, and our
selves of a tried and faithful friend; there
fore,
Resolved, That we tender to his family
our sincere and heartfelt sympathy with
them in their heavy bereavement.
Resolved, That in testimony Of our re-
spect for the deceased, we will attend the
funeral in a body.
Resolved, That the Chairman COM
muricate to the family of the deceased a
copy of these proceedings, and that he cause
the same to be published in the daily papers

MISS MEHOLIN's ENTER
A Large Audience and a Well Rendered
Programme.

a Large Audience and a Well Rendered
Programme.
Miss Meholin opened her entertainment
lest evening with q recitation, palace OF
the Caesars" which was rendered with much
grace and dramatic force. The recitation
while decidedly tragic does not give ful
scope to Miss Meholin's abilities in this d.
reciion.
Tom Little Star" although totally diff.
fer ent as to kind allowed the lady to give
complete sway to her talent as a humorous
mimic and Tom and his little star were pre-.
stnted to the audience with some help from
the imagination, as completely as mimicry
could. The Bugle Song" recited, was
we'll done. This piece is peculiarly difficult
ard requires not only strong pair Of lungs
aud considerable musical ability, but a
Gre appreciation Of the effect of sound. The
ectoing bugle blast was portrayed 10 the
ears of the audience half sung, half spoken,
il g manner that elected hearty round of
applause.
The finest dramatic selection Of the even
ire. however, and in which the elocutionist
displayed her talent to its full extent, was
Last Prayer of Mary Queen of Scots. ~
The stage was darkened and the fair queen
wore sombre costume that set forth her
pale face and glistening string OF beads aP-
propriately. The despairing, melancholy
and almost weird prayer Of the Scottish
Queen was rendered in all its pathetic force
By Miss Meholin and the audience testified
their appreciation of her effort by recall.
The widow Bedott'' was personated quite
as comically and with more finish than Neil
Burgess, the acknowledged exponent Of this
funny old lady, ever bestowed upon it.
Miss Meholins part Of the entertainment
closed with four tragic selections, Msrgaret
Of Aniou," Pardon Of the Earl Of Warwick,
death of Prince Edward" and Margaret
in the Tower" All of these were fully up
to the standard Of her preceding efforts and
the lady was frequently called before the
curtain.
Mrs Geo. B. Caldwell was deservedly en-
cored in her pretty little song "Tit for Tai" "
This lady has very pleasing voice and an
ease of delivery that shows the accomplish
cd musician.
The singing talents Of Mr.. Oscar Seeley
are too well known and appreciated to need
criticism.
The same may be said of Mr.. b. Shockey,
who was encored in violin solo.
Mr.. R. V. Arkle rendered Good Night,
Ny Clild," and was encored. Mr.. Arkle
has a very fine tenor voice.
Mrs. Nellie Palmer was on the pro
gramme but owing to sickness did not ap-
pear.

PARIS, May 22.-The newspapers Of Paris
appeared in mourning this evening. 1t is
believed that the funeral will be the grand

was sketched as he lay in the death bed by
the great painter Bonnot, who will transfer
to canvas the impression taken. In the

count of the horrible death in 1870 Of Thos.

at the hands Of Louis Riel, and in the
course of the article the name Of certain
Major Robinson was prominently mention

Ger of the English army was fof

A SKETCH OF HIS LIFE AND WORK.

LONDON, May 22.-The Times says: ut
is impossible to deny that the prevalent
feeling of anxiety and uncertainty is still
growing. From the scanty information
given by the ministers tits eyident.that we
are no nearer a satisfactory settlement than
we were at the beginning of the month.
There are now signs Of an advance in nego-
tiations but on the contrary there are nu-
merous evidences Of q stand still.
More Correspondence About Penjdeh.
LONDON, May 22.-The correspondence
which took place between Col Zakrjewski,
of General Komsraf's staff, and Captain
Yate, of Gen. Sir Peter Lumsdens staff,
respecting the Afghan situation at the time
of the Penjdeh incident, is now made public.
1t shows, among other things, that on the
same day Colonel Zahrjewski accepted Capt.
Yates invitation to collation. at which the
situation Of the opposing outposts was to be
discussed, General Komarsf sent an ulti.
matum to Naib SAILOR, the commander of
the Afghan forces. This ordered Naib
SAILOR to withdraw all his troops to
the right bank of the Kusk
river. The ultimatum concluded in these
words: There will be neither negotiations
nor explanations on the subject. You are
too intelligent and sharp sighted to compel
me to see to the fulfllment of this demand
Naeb Sailor replied that he had consulted
with Captain yate and was bound to obey
the Ameer. General Komsrof rejoined
insisting that compliance with terms of
bis ultimate was necessary to preserve
peace. He warned Naeb SAILOR against
hiding the empty cosunels of others and
concluded thus: The choice between
friendship and enmity remains with you.
Suspicious Absence.
LONDON, May PA great deal of COM
ment was caused by the absence from their
places on the opening of the House Of Com.
