About Filtration ia General Henry g.
Davis COnfning Himself to
Private Enterprises,

marked 10 me the other day, that 1T has
been disgustingly duh in Wheeling ever
since last winter. Why have only had .
half dozen good airiations in year.
While sympsihized with her on account
of the plentiful lack Of entertainments and
agreeable delusions, il burning pity,
Young lady Of versatile accomplishments,
possessing so many good qualities Of heart
and mind % well Rs beauty Of person,
could unblushingly admit she played an
active part in halt dozen desperate dir
tatioDs in one year, or lifetime, and is still
not satisfied with losing the Innocence
such Amusement has robbed her of.
Every Irritation q girl engages IN relieves
her Of Just that much guilsless purity and
innocence. Men who have long beep out
in the world participating in the tssclna-
tons and viscisitudss Of society under
stsId this completely.
-
What kind Of a man is he who wants tor
his wife the girl-no matter how charming
or beautiful-Wnoss sweet lips have been
at some time the unvslued property OF per
hsps tWo.thisds Of bis gentleman scqusln-
tancss? Men airts are very properly termed
By the female portion Of society, de
testable," admit IL, and yet they are par
douabis tor playing the Claude Melnotte
role. Aside IRON the torcesOt principle,
forbidding a life, or even fortnight Of de-
ception, man while entarglsd IN the de-
lighlful meshes OF q Irritation, Is more OF
less under the influence of parer and
more refaed nature than his own, and
while undoubtedly, he sows seeds Of wick
edness in the genIler person, at the same
time that gentlenesl aud purity Will surely
have its effect, to raise him nearer the level
where only such virtues dwell. In Other
words, during the Irritation period, the
man is under the influence OF pure In
nocent girl and the girl, pats herself II
confidential contact with one who does moi
even claim TO have any Of these qualities
-.
Thus YOU see the cause, it is not difhcul
70 guess the effect. No man claims tC
reach the high plain Of innocent purity
trod By his sisters. he therefore, in one
sense must be- benefited by the Irritation, i
his nature lie not esllous 10 good. II 1t II
wrong for traveller wandering through al
isolated and barren desert to stop and IN
hale the sweet aroma arising from an oc.
casIonal lily blooming near the pathway
If the sight of that lovely Hover whose
spo,less petals kissed with heavens dew
sladdens nor his heart, nor permestes hi:
being with admiration for natures God
so is il wrong for such nature to meeI
under any circumstances, a giri with th'
innocent purity Of childhood throwing II
sweet fragrance about her.
~.
All flirting is wrong from principle, and
/ only want 10 prove, that If men shoulC
not hirt-as all ladies agree they shoulC
MOTT is actually sinful for girl, for l
COMPROMISES her purity and imPo7erlshe
her innocence, and no matter how well sh'
may cover it up, the fact will be observed
by every gentleman she meets

Ex-senator Henry G. Davis, having
thrown off the yoke of governmental toll
appears to ccn6ne his tslests entirely 4
private enterprises which grow and branch
out under his great skill like naples unde
the rays of q spring-time sun. This ceurs
Is unusual aud only proves again Tn
traits of character and wisdom that formed
a potent factor in gaining for Sensto
Davis the envisbls reputation he enjoy
among our national rulers. Generally
when 8 man gets away up to the top rounC
of the political ladder, he holds on to hi
pinnacle Of fame and activity with deati
grip. Washington City is full of ex.Sena
tors ex-Congressmeu and exSecretaries
who once held political prestegs, and WhC
now sacrifice home interests to remain
there, eliuging ike 8 vine to the oak, Il
the powers they love so we'll

Few men in either house possessed the
influence of Senator Davis. During III:
term of Ssustorship | was several times IL
a position TO see Just where he stood with
his colleagues in that body, and found him
universally regarded with esteem and con
Science. he gained the ear OF the mos
important members OF Congress as vel
as the leading business men and capitalists
of the East, and keers IT, Not By the
sweet elegance Of his Aowery tongue, but
BY his sound judgment and striking ehsrao'
tar. A friend In storm as well as sunshine
and from the shadows of those stately
walls, the horrid forms of official peculs
and fraud would skulk away afriGhted al
the gaze of an honest man.

The Ssnstor never allowed his srduous
business lshors TO interfere with his social
enioyments BE is prince of hospitality,
never permitting q guest 10 leave his door
way without frs, throwing little sunshins
into bis heart The last time / visited bis
house was with . score of West VirgiDisn'
bright democratic stars, on the l4th Of
August, 1882. 1t will be remembered the
Hoge-L Lucas Douebrook Fair was held ST
Keyser on the 18th and 18Th. Keyser is
q puritsaicsl town with its churche spires
reaching up as if in feeble limitation oi
the adjacent mountain peaks, whose in
hsoitants in order to compliment the Sec
on Vice President Of the B h D railroad
took sway its then pretty usm-;-NsS
Creek-and gave it its present title. We
were there two days and nights, which
time was filed With bad whiskey, hideou'
wells, pistols and sWelled heads, ct the close
of the second afternoon the Convention
