Victor Hugo's Death-Bed.


Hush" said they, make no notes.-the
poet is dying" And they stood reveren-
TALLY and watched the coming of the death
angel. Even the winds were hushed; they
had stolen in softly aud asked the morning
sunbeams what it oil meant, and the sun
beams had told the winds that the death
angel was coming to take the poet away,
and so the winds stood still in great wonder
ment and sadness.
But the death angel did not come. His
grin shadow did not steal sthwsrt the
morning sunbeams nor chill the gentle
winds that lowered round the poets couch.
Withsl the poet was dying aud there was
sadness everywhere. Suddenly a thousand
voices filed the chamber with sweetest
music.
How strange and yet how beautiful"
thought the people And the dying poet
thought so, too for smile came and rested
on his venerable face, and his lips moved as
If they would echo that sweet music. They
were the songs the poet had sung; all over
the world had they been and every human
heart had they touched, and now they had
come back to bear the poets soul away.
What could be more beautiful than that?
And the poet went with his songs, the
hoary headed father with his children, and
entered into his rest. From that still cham
Der was the weary soul bourne away upon
the thousand singing voices, and the clouds
stopped in the sky to hear the wondrous
music.
So shall they come to tnee-thy songs, o
Master Poet-aud, lulliug thy swearied soul
to sleep, shall bear thee with sweet music to
eterninity.

the probabilities are now that he will not be

s,nt Mr. Mcdonald to Washington with the
papers and letter to Secretary Bayard.
Mcdonald bad instructions not to submit

named as agent, or unless the name of
ONeill was stricken of.
O'Neil went to Washington and got Sen
ator Cockrell and Congressman 0'Neil
working for him. Mr. Clover requested the
Police Board to call O'Neil home, or Nc.
Donald would not give up the papers. The
board refused, and Clover telegraphed Nc
Donald TO come home ard not submit the

The whole city is in ferment over the row.

THE FALLACY OF THE TIN MINE
CRAZE,

THE FALLACY OF THE TIN MINE
CRAZE.
The tin nine craze is becoming contsg-
ious. 1t has nowstruek Mason and Cabell
counties 1t will be well for the people of
West Virginia to use discretion in regard to
tie rich mines of tin and silver and gold
that are so often reported to be found. 1t
may be that those who have been causing
the tin mine excitement in our interior and
southern counties are honest and well
meaning men, but one thing is certain,
there never has been found any tin or silver
mine in West Virginia, and there never will
be. These metals must exist before they
can be found. Let the people consult any
honest and competent geologist and he will
tell them that these minerals can not
be found in rock formations
like West Virginia possesses.
Many of the bonsnzas so often found are
only the fsbrications Of dishonest men who
would make money BY imposing upon the
creduHty ofthe people. Companies ofthese
men will send out their emissaries to start
an excitement in some county. Men ike
to be persuaded that fortune is knocking at
their doors, and listen to these emissaries
with willing ears. They are soon induced
TO send off some specimens of ore to be as
ssyed-the sSssyers, of course, belonging to
the gang. A return is soon received, stat
ing that the ore is rich and is likely to be
richer farther in the rock. Excite
ment soon becomes high, specimens of
ore are sent off again and again
and the gang soon realize good round sum
for assaying. Then, too, this gang has splen-
did opportunities to speculate in lands and
make money BY organizing bogus mining
companies. There may be rich deposits of
tin in these counties if some miraculous
power has interposed especially for their
benefit, but we would say to all interested
go a little slow"

In his humorous way BOB BURDErTE con-
tinues o give the young men plenty Of good
solid advice. Ia q recent lecture he sd-
vised every young man to be himself, and
not to depend too muei on his family, the
dead part. Live men are what the world
wants; it has no use for dead ones. Hard
work never kills man. It is fun, relsxl-
ton, recreation, holidays that kill. A young
man must not be afraid Of pounding per
astently in one direction. Don't be afraid
TO be called q crank 1t takes q smart man
to be crank. Don't 90 into professional
life without a certainty Of rising high. The
world is crying for good men who can wheel
a trunk, handle a spade, and do similar
things. Don't imagine that the world owes
q man living. The world was here long
time before the man of to-day. 1t didn't
want him but it will give him living If he
will work for it. Such advice does not ap-
pear to have much fun in it, but BCEDErrE
puts it in mirth provoking shape, makes
people laugh, and yet succeeds in leaving
q deep impression.

WASHINGTON, Pa, May 23-The refresh

fully received by the people of this commu
nifty. Many wells had about given out, nu.
merous cisterns were wholly dry and vege.
tation was whitening up Indeed the latter
is in very bad shape throughout the county,
and reports from every part confirm the fear
that wheat will only yield about onefourth
OF crop. In many places the fields are be-
i5g plowed up for spring grain. Last sum-
mer our farmers had hard siege during the
Try season, many Of them losing much
sock, and they are rather cresttallen at the
prospect now before them. The apple bios

Other fruits will not be very abundant.

The performance was under the direction
of Miss Bessie Craig, vocal teacher at the
seminary, and was quite creditable. There
are several gypsy scenes in the operetta and
hey were acted to perfection. The solo
with guitar accompaniment by Miss Madge
Kerr. elected prolonged applause. The
queen, Miss Marguerite Thomas,
was very prettily attired
and adorned with flowers. The latter were
very protuse, and made the room fragant.
A duet by Misses Ida and Maria Mclean
was loudly spplsuded. The proceeds
amounted, net, to about $50, and this will
give good addition to the library of the

CENTRAL AFRICA ATTACKED.
Mohamme dan Tribes Want the Rich Congo
State,

Mohamm e dan Tribes Want the Rich Congo
State.
PARIS May 23.-The French Societe
Geographic has received news from the
Upper Congo that the large Mohammedan
population intabiting that region, excited
probably by stories of Ell Mahdis success
have resolved to assert their claims to the
centre of Africa. The Immediate occasion
of this extraordinary movement is said to
have been the conduct of one of
Henry NJ. Stsnleys ivory ex-
petitions. This expedition and the
convoy guarding it were commanded by an
ogent of the International African Associa-
ion. Instead of descending the Congo
liver with its valuable collection OF ivory to
stanley Pool and Vivi, the expedition pro
ceeded under protection of a powerful Arab
chief named Tipu Sab. eastward to reach
Zanzibar. Tipu Saib had not known of the
xis,ence Of the ivory field in the interior
mil he saw proofs OF it in the rich stores
,athered BY this expedition, and as soon as
re had discharged his task as escort and
earned all he could, he raised a powerful
,rmy and proceeded into the interior.
The stories about Ell Madhi and his *
pulsion of the English from the Soudan are
supposed to have been carried to the turbu-
lent Mohammedsns by Tpu Saib, and it is
feared that they may make it very difficult
tor the International African Association to
carry out it's projected work of establishing
the free State of Congo.
Tipu Saibs army is exceedingly stroag.
Three thousand Of his shoulders, it is said,
are armed with modern rifles. The army,
the report states is now advancing, making
its way by pillage and massacre. Arawina
station has been sacked and destroyed. The
negroes who inhabited it fled in panic be.
fore the attack. Tipu Ssib has proclaimed
the Congo as territory belonging to the Sui
tan of Zanzibar, and he has announced his
intention to suppress all opposition to this
claim. The country around Lake Tan
gauyika is at present the center of the
movement started by Tipu Sab, but it is
thought all the Mohammedan races living
in the belt of territory running thence in
both directions across the continent will be
seized with the new tsnaticism. which
