FANCY RUNNING WILD.

FANCY RUNNING WILD.

same very likely being the editor. protesting

view between Ex-Governor JACKSON and the

Look Gu. for war in the Democratic
camp in Yves; Virginia. The u~nrecoguizel
faction is mad-mad as a March hare.
They placed 300 miles between themselves
ard the reform administration swearing
vengeance after their disappointment above
detailed. The Democracy of West Vir-
ginia is torn up as it never was betOye.
Again l ~coDjure you 10 look out for
squalls"
This is only one OF a number Of simjlar
attempts to stir up war in the democratic
camp in West Virginia by trying to make
some of the weakened brethren believe that
war already exists. The factis, the party was
never more united than At present. The
appointment Of Hon. JOS, s. MILLER, az the
instance and largely through the energetic
efforts of the tSo West Virginia Senator'S, to
one Of the most important and in many re-
speots the most responsible position under
the government, ought to have convinced
the most suspicious that the Democracy of
West Virginia is not torn up" but united
in heart and hand.
Of course, where rivalry exists, disaP-
pointment must fall en- some. But ample
evidence has been given the country that
the harmony Of the Democracy Of West
Virginia is not beholden to any one man,
or set Of men, however prominent his or
their position; and that the rewards Will be
bestowed, not on the grounds Of personal
favoritism, bat because Of true worth aud
merit.
Let the twirliDg dervishees howl on; let
them continue their efforts to excite envy
and jealousy among Democratic leaders
aud their friends, but for sl that there is
too much sense and good feeling prevalent
in the West Virginia Democracy at this
time to suffer such efforts to divide their
councils or destroy their unity.
No man carries the Democratic party Of
this State around in his pocket. The Re-
p~ublicsns have so long accustomed them
selves to bossism that they cannot very
well see how . political party can be run on
any other principle. Hence, in every new
appointment, they fancy they discern some
hidden hand, some mystic power behind
the throne, working and conspiring to
thWart some rival power.

A Reference to jefferson Davis.

Jefferson Davis, as we'll as Gen. Grant, is
reported to be lying at the door Of death
Could there be q more forcible commeu-
tary on the fame and achievement of the
two men than the fact that while every
where and with all classes, anxious &quiry
is heard as to Grants condition, few people
seem to know that Davis is ill?-Intelli-
gencsr.
Jefferson Davis, the ex president Of the
Confederate States, is dying at a country
house, far removed from teleErsphic offices
aud out Of the way of general railroad CON-
munication. May not this have something
to do with the absence of popular excite
ment in his case? True, the cause of Grant
was successful, while that Of Davis failed
but both Of these Americans made history
in their day.
Whateyar criticisms his enemies may in
dulge in, the American student of history
will even pause with pride at the page that
records the gallant conduct Of the young
Mississippi Colonel at the battle Of Buena
Vista, when at a critical juncture, he saved
the day by a tactical movement as novel IN
warfare as it proved efectual in result.

LAND.
Regeneration Of the Republic by retrench-
ment is one of the most effective aud speedy
methods of accomplishing that great and
holy purpose. There is nothing in this
world that has such efficacy in publication
as economy. Economy is simply selEdeE'sL.
1t is illustrated most conspicuously a. this
very momenL. The season is one in which
all are exhorted to fOrego some indulgence
in order that they may become humber and
better. The same method of regeneration
of the Republic holds good in the manage
ment of the public purse. Long possession
By one party is the bsne of a Republic. Pub.
lie officers forget their progenitOrs after they
are too long in place, and in time spurn
them as being of a different mould
sDd caste. They become a
strong and i~nsolent bureaucracy VINO are
mindful only Of their own interests. There
is nothing uncommon or strange in this; it
is human nature the world over. 1t was SO
in THos. JEFEERsOS's day. When he came
into power the Federahsts had had control
of the government for series Of presiden.
Iial terms. Their ~perpetuation in Office re-
suited in increasing expenses just as ma
turally as aduck takes to water. A writer
truly says:
Every officer, after . little while, wants a
waiter, and by and By that waiter himself

self into q mere superintendent Of the
uuderling. Moreover, while subordinstes
are appointed to oblige members Of Con.
gress or other prominent persons, the whole
drift is to s creation of more Offices. The
distention to which the public service has
now grown from these and other causes is
enormous and incredible. A glance atthe
Blue Book will amaze any one who is not
acquainted with that astonishing record"

Why, for the "Barneys" and "Johnnies'

The Barge Office Scheme was therefore

The people at the Madison Square
Theatre, New York City, had their at
tention drawn from the play the other
night by the antics of a full beard
on the face of man in the middle of
the house. The man sat beside an ex-
tremely pretty young woman. When
he turned to speak to her his beard jerk
ed aronnd in The opposite direction.
When he turned the other wsv, the
luxuriant wbiskers whisked about TO-
ward The girl. The people Uttered and
at last roare1, and the play was badly
neglected. An usher tapped the man
on his shoulder and led him into the
lobby, where Captain Williams snatched
off the beard and took the wearer to spend
the night in the police station. The girl
didn't know what had an happened and
had an unpleasant time when the play
was done. Her escort told the policejus
tice the next day that he wore the false
beard keep from being recognized by his
| friends, who were opposed to his asso'
in the height of fashion and said that
he was Third avenue grocer named
Emanuel SchulhafIer. His fun with the
beard cost him five dollars, and he won'I

The Bugbear Cold.

Cold. as bugbear, causes people to
overcrowd their beds with woolen-
stuffs, blankets, and such like. The bed
clothing, even for old people, should be
light. though warm. There is nothing
better than eiderdown, when you can
get it. The night dresses of old people
should he comfortable, and especially
should they be warm through the
shoulders; this is the place where cold
likes, as foe, to assail just about 3 in
the morning, when the morsel of fire
has got low or gone out. Let them be-
ware of it
"Cold, as bugbear, plays much mis-
chief in the nursery. Thousands of
children in this country are coddled to
death, and many actually stifed in Led.
They call it being overlaid; it is being
smothered. That is the right name for
it,"
But the children must be kept
waim?"
"Bless their Innocence, yes! The bed
as soft as down, the clothes as soft as
soft can be, tdt smooth withal, without
any tendency to rumple up or cover
mouth or face. This is warmth; this is
comfort. The room. too, should be mod
erately warm; no more, | pray You; and
the air ought to be as pure and sweet as
the odor of roses. Is it so in most nur-
series? Nay, for your bugbear cold steps
in and seals doors and windows. No
wonder that when baby wakes up it is
peevish al d fretful.
"Your bugbear cold is the best friend
the tailor has, for even young men wear
double the weight of clothes on win
ter's day that they ought to. They sweat
themselves in consequence, so cold, the
foe, steps in and ends many life. Top
coats, in my opinion. should never be
worn except while riding by rail OIL
driving, OF when standing about in 9

and cosy. If worn st all when walking
they should be very thin. Very igh
