EIizabeth Zane.

This dauntless pioneer maiden's name
Is inscribed in gold on the scroll of fame;
She was the lassie who knew no fear
When the tomahawk CLEANED on the far from
tier.
If deeds of daring should win renown,
Let US honor the dansel of Wheeling town,
Who braved the savage with deep disdain-
Bright-eyed, buxom Elizabeth Zane.
Twas more than hundred years ago,
They were close beset by the dusky foe;
They had spent of powder their scanty store,
And who the gauntlet should run for mores
She sprang to the portal and shouted, .sI.;
'Tis better girl than aman should die;
Ny loss would be but the garrison's gain,
Unbar the gate!" said Elizabeth Zane.
The powder was sixty yards away.
Around her the foemen In ambush lay;
AS she darted from sheltcr tLey gazed with
awe,
Then wildly shouted, ga squaw!" ia squaw!'
She neither swerved to the left o. right,
t'QuicE Open the doorl" she cried, amain,
% For hope forlorn! 'Tis Elizabeth Zauel"
No time had she toy waver or wait,
Back she must go ere 1t be too late;
She snatched from the table its cloth In haste
And kuotted 1T deity about her waist,
Then filled 1t with powder-never, ween,
Had powder SO lovely magazine;
Then, scorning the bullets, deadly rain.
Like startled fawn, fed Elizabeth Zane.
She gained the fort with her precious freight !;
Strong hands fastened the oakcn gate;
Brave mems eyes were suffused with tears
That had there been strangers for many years.
From tlnt-lock rifles again there sped
'Gainst the skulking redskins storm of lead,
And the war-whoop sounded that day in vain,
Thanks to the decd of Elizabeth Zane.
Talk not to me of Paul Revere,
A man, on horseback, with uaught to fear;
Nor of old John Burns, with his bell-crowncd
He'd an army to back him, so what of that?
Here's to the heroine, plump and brown,
Who ran the gauntlet in Wheeling town;
Here is record without stain
Beautiful, buxom, Elizabeth Zane

Geological Survey.

The advance guard of the geo1og-
ical surveyors are now getting fairly
at work in Tucker county, taking the
topography of the country prepara-
tory to the work of the Biologists.
Few things that could happen could
be of more advantage in developing
our State, than this survey. When
the work is completed every man
will have a chance to know just what
minerals there are, and what miner
ais are not in this State. People
need not be led astray any longer by
silver and tin mine crazes, nor be de-
frauded out of their lands by bogus
mining companies. Proper knowl-
edge on this subject will save the
people of the State hundreds and
thousands of dollars. 1t is estimated
that the State of New York in few
years before the State geological
survey was made, lost millions ON
reckless mining adventures, caused
by want of proper knowledge of the
geological formation of the State.-
West Virginia may be saved this loss.
Also, capitalists will know just what
minerals exist in our State and where
they are TO be found, and we may look
for rapid development in the min
ing and manufacturing interests. It
will take several years to complete
the survey of the State, but with
such geologists as Prof. 1. G. White,
of the State University, engaged In
the work, VIC may expect It to be
done thoroughly and reliable.

The c. g. o. Must Pay.
Especial to the wheeling Register.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, July TO-
General Wickham, of Virginia, and
Judge Ferguson, counsel for the
Chesapeake and Ohio road, have been
in consultation with Gov. Wilson and
Auditor Duffy for the last two or
three days, with view of settling the
taxes due by the company to the
State. The company asked that the
ten per cent. added for the non-pay-
ment of taxes at the lawful time be
remitted. They further asked to
pay the State taxes alone and settle
with the several counties for the
county and district taxes. Both pro-
positions were very properly refused
by the State. The opinion of At
torney General Caldwelisustained the
action of the State officials. The
taxes due will now be certified to the
sheriffs of the several counties and
they will commence the collection of
the same in a short time.

An Important Point.

A point of much interest to tho
lawyers of this State has been settled
by the Court of Appeals, as follows.
!" If errors or supposed errors are
committed by a court in its ruling
during the trial of n case by a jury,
the Appellant Court can not review
these rulings, first, unless they are
objected to ween mace, and the point
saved, and n bill of exceptions taken,
showing these rulings, during the
term of the Court; and secondly,
unless new trial was asked of the
Court below and refused, aud such
refusal objected in the Court below
and this appears of record. And If
either of these essentials is onimitted,
the Appellant Court can not review
these rulings. It can not review
them unless bills of exception were
taken to them as above stated and
new trial was asked and refused,
though bill'of exceptions was reg
ularly taken to such refusal and in
this bill of exceptions these rulings
of the court during the. trial are fully
stated, and it appears they were err
roneous, and that these erroneous
ruling caused the jury to find tho
verdict they did find. Nor can the
Appellant Court review such rulings
by the Judge during the trial in any
case, though they were expected to
when made and regular bills of ex-
,ceptions then taken, if no new trial
was asked in the court below and re-
fused, and such refusal objected to;
and this be noted on the record"

MISCELLANEOUS.
The Young Surgeons Story.

Again L beheld her-two years of
dissipation, of madness, had passed
and once more saw her whom had
so basely deserted.
1t was at the Opera-she sat in a
box near me, and though the paIeness
of her cheek gave her an almost un-
earthly appearance, 1 saw that she
was lovely as ever.
All eyes were upon her-all but
mine; for one glance had called up
so many painful recollections that I
dared not risk a second. 1 felt my
self a guilty wretch.
4" Poor Emily!" I murmured, as
tears of bitter remorse filled my eyes.
L was interrupted by H, who
touching my elbow. whispered:
Look in that box on the right.
Is it not extraordinary to see yoHng
girl with such white hair?"
turned impatiently from him !;
hut so many remarks of the same
kind were whispered by those near
me, that the words seemed to hiss in
my ears.
"Tll bet a dozen of champagne"
said one of my neighbors, " that she
has been frightened. Fear has been
known to turn the hair gray in sin
gle night
Z" You are mistaken" said anoth-
er. e No sudden shock could have
changed it SO completely. 1 am a
surgeon and know something about
these things; it is more likely the re-
suit of some secret sorrow.''
'' Perhaps she is widow" said n
third, land has fretted for the loss
of her husband?"
If the look with which I regarded
the last speaker could have killed
him, there would have been one pup
py less in the world.
Z" Your conjecture does not seem
to be very probable one," said the
surgeon; 90 she looks too young for a
widow. 1 should say she was not
more than seventeen or eighteen"
"Just eighteen!" exclaimed in
voluntarily.
"Do you know the young lady,
sir?" he asked, turning to me. L
was silent, and he continued. s If
the study of physiognomy is to be de-
pended on, ar unreduitted passion is
the cause of the calamity"
AT these words could no longer
restrain my feelings. Be silent,
for Heavens sakel" I exclaimed, !,
grasping his hand convulsiyely. "I
am the greatest villain on the face of
the earthi"
He looked at me in establishment {:
but just then the curtain rose, and
the clang of music drowned all other
sounds. While eYerybody's attention
was drawn to the performance, I took
courage to look once more at Emily.
How beautiful she was, as she sat
with her gaze fixed on the stage. So
yeung, and already grief had decked
her brow with the silvery tinge of
age! Could it be? Was it Emily,
once the adored of my soul? Was it
she whom I saw? Her golden hair
changed to white by grief for my in
consistency?
The play was ovcr-mechanically

that Emily was in town? I saw her

Ohio Politics.

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun thus gives promiI
nence to the probability of the noble
old Roman from Ohio again entering
the U. S. Senate.
Ohio Democrats of prominence have
been quite numerous here for tho last
week or two, atd all of them are full
of talk about the political situation in
that State. 1t is understood that on
the occasion of the recent visit of
Gov. Hoadly the President discussed
Ohio politics ut considerable length
with him. The scheme of Democratic
campaign which meets with most IA
vor is for Gov. Hoadly to run again
for Governor, with the understanding
that if the Democrats carry the State,
including the Legislature, Judge
Thurman shall be returned to tho
Senate. OF all the leading Demo-
Gratis of Ohio these two are believed
to be by far the strongest, and with
both of them actively in tho cam
paign, Democratic prospects would
be looked upon as very bright. The
President is understood to be anxious
to help the cause of his party in Ohio
by every means which he deems con-
sistent with his duty and professions,
but it is not likely that he will or can
move quite as fast as the impatient
ones would desire. Although Judge
Thurman has positively declared
more than once of late his aversion
to return to public life, it is not be-
licved he will refuse consent to an
arrangement of the kind indicated.

A SAD CAREHR.-The divorced
wife of Bonanza millionaire recently
came to moHrnful death principally
from taking chIoraI, which unsettled
her mind and demoralized her whole
physical system. She had been
weakly and ailing and felt her need
of something to drown her sorroWs
and brace her up. Had she taken
Browns Iron Bitters she would have
been invigorated so that she could
have fought her sorrows off, and en-
joyed healthy life. This valuable
medicine cures general debility, tones
the nerves, strengthens the muscles
and aids digestion.
