"He Has Come Back"

without, the wintry sky Is overcast:
The floods descend-ferce hail and rushing
rain;
Whilst ever and anon the raying blast
Clutches tho casement-pane.
Within, our darling beats an angrier air
With piteous outstretched arms and tossing
head;
Whilst, we, bowed low beside his laborins
bed,
Pour all our hearts in prayer.
ls this the end2 The tired little hands
Eail by his side, the wild eyes close ut last
breathless he sinks; almost we hear hlt
sands
OF being ebbing fast.
When, miraculous! no wakes once more,
Love glowing In his gaze, and while there
Mother, dear mother!" from his trembling
Dear mothcr!" DER and DER.
He has como back, our little fairy child
Back from his wanderings I'm the dreadful
dark;
Back DER the furious surge OF frenzy wild,
The lost dove of our Ark
Back, feebly back DER the dire Hoods de-
crease,
HismhItc wings fiutter, only our God knows
how,
Rearing ;.0ft the blessed olive-bough
or His compassionate peace.

enough, because in the larger cities Of the
Union there is a furore for me work. In
less than two weeks. it is asserted, over so,
900 copies have been disposed OF and the
demand is still undated. The REGIsTER

that the book is Handsomely bound in cloth
and printed in the highest style Of

typographical work, the book is well worth
its cost. But there must be fascination
about the work itself, else it would not be
so popular. 1t is not possible that the sim
pie fact Of her being the sister of her brother
would so commend it to the public, and yet
relationship has no doubt givenit part
OF its boom. Now that the book is to be

to hear of sprightly demand for Miss ROSE

TIE World very sptlty says: A
piece of CHASDLER-like sharp practice peeps
out in the talk" Of Iersons who are inter

Mr.. BRooKsTADER, who represents Mr..
RoACH's lawyer, denies that any preference
has been made in favor Of Mr.. RoAcH's
bon6smento the Government, and expresses
"surprise" that Mr.. Whitney should claim to
hold the bondsmen at ALL II the contract
was an Illegal one and consequently cannot
be enforced against the Government this
gentleman contends, that the Government
has no claim against the bondsmen. This
would be the perfection of sharp practice
A contract is made 10 build q vessel con-

Money almost to the full amount is sd-
vanctd to the contractor by the then Score

makes an assignment and the bondsmen

Jumping On to the Board OF Public Works
in Regard to the school Contract.
GLENvILLE, W. Va, July 20.
To TIE Editor Of he Register:
The recent rains have brought some cheer
to the farmers of Gilmer. Wheat crops are
nearly al stacked. The yield will be lit:
tie over q half crop. Corn is doing fine
and should the weather continue seasonable
unusually large CROPS will De raised.
Meadows are moderately light. Plenty of
apples but few peaches. We are all looking
with deep anxiety for a business revival
Three of the six iron bridges have been
completed, and work is new in operation on
the one across the KansWhs at this place
The Board Of Public Works has not as yet let
the contract for the building OF the new
normal school house at this point The
last Legislature appropriated $4,000 for
that purpose and our people promptly com
Piled with all the requirements OF the bill,
but for some strange and unexplained reason
the Board of Public Works refuses to dis
charge its duty in the matter. The bill au-
thorized the Board of Public Works to let
the contract within six months, which time
will expire on the 9th of August. Our
people are Justly growing indignant over
such shabby treatment and your CORE
spOndent heard a prominent gentleman
remark last week that if the Board did not
act and our people were deprived Of the new
building by their esrelessness, that no member
of that Board could ever get single vote
in this section for any position, however
humble His conclusion is evidently cor
rect. Your correspondent notices that the
people here call upon the Board to act or
resign. An indignation meeting will likely
be held in the near future.
With new building this Normal will play
a leading part among the schools OF the
State The course has been enlarged, and
a classical scholar selected for principal in
the person Of S. B. Brown, A NJ Mr.
Brown is the most finished scholar ever
called to preside over the institution. The
selection was q most happy one.
Collector MeGraw has made no change
in the deputy Of this district Republican
Wade still draws the salary.
S. A. Hays, Of the law firm Of Kidd 4
hays, is q prominent applicant He is
strongly recommended and should receive
the appointment.
r. G. Linn, ESQ, the next Circuit Judge
Of this judicial district. is recuperating at
the famous springs of Webster county.
s. A. Hays is attending to legal business
in Calhoun county.
Prof Hail, late Principal of the Normal,
is in town. The Prot desired to remain
here another year, but the Regents thought,
under the new regime, a ripper scholar was
demanded.
The Board of Regents Of the Independ-
ent District of Glenville will erect sub
stsntial public school building this fal.

Reading Upside Down.

[Marysvllle Cor. Cincinnati Enquirerl
One Of the most singular cases Of vision on
record is found ia the fourth grade OF our
schools. in the person Of Belle Kinney,
little girl twelve years Of age. Shortly
after entering school her teacher, Miss
Ella Elv. discovered that she always read
with her books upside down, and that
while writing she invariably placed the
copy in the same position and wrote back
ward. with the letters inverted and with
her left hand.
Not knowing whether 90 attempt a cor
rection of the habit the teacher sent for
Or. I. y. Hamilton. one OF our prominent
physicians and President or the Board Of
Education. who tested her thoroughly yes
terday with figures, pictures, reading and
writing. and discovered that she was
equally skilled with her hooks in any posi-
ton. although the child hers slf had never
particularly noticed her PECULIAR
ifv. but expressed desire % as, her books
a. others la. The doctor says IL is the
most remarkable case % the k-ld of which
he ever heard
