The South and the Democracy.

Much has been said about the good feel
lug between the sections, especially since
the death of Gen. Grant, with more or less
reference to the stereotyped ''blue and the
gray" either in ford prose, or emblamed
in poetry of a strange and wondrous kind.
We believe that the era of good feeling has
set in, but we believe also that the course
of John Sherman and other Republicans has
done much to retard its progress. Still
progress has been made. The bucolic citi-
zens to whom we have referred do not now
believe to any extent that we lie awake at
night fixing up some plan to destroy the
Union. Neither do they now believe, as
OF yore, that the fashionable attire of the
glided youth of our section is a red flannel
shirt, pair of nondescript pants tucked in
10 tough-looking boots, belt full of pis-
tolls, bowie knife and a shotgun. The
idea is also beginning to find its way dimly
through the brains of New York and Phila-
delphia Republicans that some of their
heelers might give US points OF ballot-box
stufiing.
But in spite of the era of good feeling, in
spite Of the dying utterances of Grant. the
Republican party still looks upon the South
as a thorn in it's side. 1t also look 8
down on it from a height of moral
super iority. 1t is itching now to interfere
in cur domestic affairs. 1t can never fully
forgive us for our war against the other
sections of the country until we bow down
in the dust and cry peccavi. And there
fore the Republican party is a hindrance to
the growth of good feeling between the sec
tions. The Republican party must CO.

WHY she did not Marry.
AN ANGRY FATHERS SUCCESSFUL PURSUIT
OF HIS DAUGHTER.

WHEELING, w. Va, October 25.-Ar
interesting story of the trials and tribula
tions of two lovers, and also of the father
of the girl, comes from Moorefeld Joe
Isenberg, young man living in Moore
field, has been paying his respects to Miss
Alice Wolf, who is about twenty years old
daughter of James Wolf, Of the same
town. Miss Alice returned Isenberg's af
lection, but there was an impeachment in the
way. The father objected.
On Friday night Joe went to Thorn as
Parsons where Alice was working, and
persuaded her to elope with him to Ma
ryland, where they might be united. They
got to Moorefield about 10 o'clock on Fri
day night, hired horse and buggy, and
started for Keyser. Somebody Informed
the girls father of the proceedings and
he set out in pursuit, with pistol at bis
side. Joe left Alice in Keyser while he
went to Cumberland to get the license.
While Joe was gone Wolf rode into Key
ser, found out where his daughter was,
took her in charge and got out warrant
for Isenbrg's arrest. When Joe returned
to Keyser with the license, instead of be-
ing greeted by Alice, he fell into the cl=tch-
es of an officer On condition that he
would let the girl alone Joe was released.
He went back to Moorefeld, got another
horse and struck out to meet the stage on
which Wolf and che girl were returning.-
Somehow Wolf got an inkling that Joe was
coming and got out of the stage, took the
girl behind him on his horse, and took an
other road to friends, where he stald all
night. Yesterday they reached Moorefeld
and went on home, but Joe has not put
in an appearance yet. ~

SOMETHING ABOUT PEANUTS Nearly
all the peanuts brought to this market come
from Virginia" SAID dealer. ''A good
many are grown in Tennessee, too; but the
central point of the peanut raising business,
which is one of the greatest industries of
the State, though of very recent growth, is
at Norfolk, Va. In old times-ffteen years
ago-all the peanuts were imported from
Africa. The African peanut was small snd
round, the shell containing usually but a
single kernel. The American peanut is
simply the African nut modified by the con-
dition of the soil in this country. The best
peanuts are hand picked; others are
thrashed out like grain. In Norfolk there
are several factories where peanuts are pre-
pared for the market. They are first thor
oughly cleaned and then sorted The bad
ones are picked out by young girls, who
stand on either side ofa wide revolving belt
on which the nuts are thrown. Afterward
they are packed in bags and shipped to the
market. Peanuts have become recognised
article of commerce, and are quoted every
day on &C hasge like corn or wheat. They
sell wholesale at fl ON 81 to 5 cents pound.
Best hand-picked fetch about 5 cents usu-
ally. Spanish peanuts, an imported arti-
Gle, sell for higher price, frequently as
much as 20 cents pound. Peanuts are
largely used to make alleged olive oil. Not
more than fourth part of he olive oil sold
in this country is real; generally it is made
either of peanuts or cotton seed. The only
way to distinguish peanut from olive oil is
to pour nitric acid into it. The peanut Or
cotton-seed OIL will char, but the real olive
oil will not. Most Of the peanuts grown in
Africa nowadays are sent to Marseilles and
expressed for oil. The latter is sold as a
low grade of olive. ''-Boston Herald.

The BUSINESS SITUATION R.
B. Bullock, leading Georgia Re-
publican, has just returned to his
home in Atlanta after an extended
trip to New York, New England and the
West. In an interview in the Atlanta Con-
stitution he reports much-improved con-
dition in manufacturing and trade circles.
The better feeling which he observed in
August last he finds has developed into a
general confidence which permeated all lines
of business. The glnt or surplus of goods,
which has been the cry for two years past,
is no longer disturbing element. All lines
of trade are active, and while there is no
advance in prices, consumptive, demand
seems more than equal to the current pro-
duction. In many lines of production the
lower prices of raw material and for labor
leave small margin for the manufacturer.
In New England all the dress goods mills
are running on full, and some on extra time,
and the lower prices for provisions enable
the employees to do we'll on the reduced
wages. In New York commission and
jobbing houses report large sales and du-'
plicating recent orders by distributors
Even the stock market, which has been
nearly paralyzed by the general want of
confidence throughout the country, shows
revival, and Wall street is on a BOOM
The crops everywhere have been fine and
safely harvested, and the yield of winter

-sTAUNToN. SPECTATOR AND GENERAL AD'

How do the poor like the law passed by
the Democratic legislature which requires
all dead bodies that have to be buried at pub
lie expense, to be turned over to medical
schools and colleges to be dissected? 1t is
only the bodies Of the poor that are buried
at the public expense, and hence this law
only operates against the poorer classes, and
not against the rich. Think of it High
land Recorder.
The Recorder either does not know the
character of the law to which it refers, OF
it wilHully published falsehood for the
purpose of deceiving the poor.
That law does not ''require all dead
bodies that have to be buried at public ex-
pense to be turned over to medical schools
and colleges to be dissected." 1t only al
lows the bodies of criminals that are not
claimed by any relative or friend to be so dis
posed of. and it was passed to protect the
graves of the poor as we'll as the rich from
being robbed for dissecting purposes, al
had been frequently the case before
this law was passed. The Recorder die
not make this statement till it was too late
to correct it before the election.

George B. Mcclellan was a son of the
celebrated physician of that name and
brother to DR.. John Mcclellan, who also
became very eminent. He graduated into
the Engineer Corps of the United States
Army efore he was twenty years ofage.
Facite prtneps in every department OF
instruction of the largest class of cadets
that had up to that time ever entered the
Military Academy, he won his distinction
with the good will of his competitors. For
be was modest, generous and kindly, as he
was able and brave, and no harsh word or
feeling ever passed between him and his
comrades.
His appearance was prepossessing and
striking. He countenance was tingularly
winning. His bright blue eye beamed with
intelligence and ready sympathy, and his
whole aspect bespoke energy and determin-
alton. He was below medium stature, and
like Beaure gard, was an athlete, and re-
markably expert as horseman and with
the sword, and was capable of great mental
| and physical endurance. Though always
genial and social, sOmtimes to conviviality,
he omitted no duty nor any opportunity OF
acquiring useful knowledge. His tastes
| we've as versatile as his capacities. He
spoke and wrote we'll in English, French,
| Spanish and German.
| In 1855, being then q captain of cavalry,
he was sent to Europe to examine into the
| tactics and equipments of the cavalry OF
the great Powers. The saddle which bears
his name is that of the Russian cavalry,
and was adopted into our service on his re-
commendation. He visited all of the armies
engaged in the Crimean war. His report
of their operations is the cleverest and most
instructive history written on that subject.
He was much impressed by the French ex-
pertness in war, and especially by the inef-
| ticiency of the English He accounted
Omar Pasha the ablest of. the allied gener-
ais, as Tatlebue was of all engineers. His
subsequent history is too we'll known to the
world for discussion here.
He maintained throughout his whole
career the highest traits of a well-born,
we'll bred, and refined gentleman. These
mace him intractable under the dictation
of Lincoln and Stanton, and they deposed
him from his high command on the achieve
ment of his last great service TO their Gov
eminent.
All Virginians bear witness that wherever
his flag flew ''manly warfare reared his
honest front" No word nor act of harsh
ness to the victims of war who fell within
his power has ever been attributable to
him, and no discourtesy to woman furnishes
his bright shield, for he was soldier with
out fear and without reproach.

Heredity.

In the hereditary transmission of charao
teristics there are always two forces in op
Grafton, which we may call dilution and re-
enforcement. 1t is a matter of everyday
observation that a tendency may be
strengthened or weakened by crossing, anc
it is upon this fact that breeders of specia
strains OF dogs, cattle or horses rely in
great part, the only other influence at their
disposal being alteration of food, habita.
tion or other environment of the young
Exactly the same holds good with the
human species. For instance, q man with
an hereditary tendency to govt may marry
woman with the same tendency, and
their son by his manner of living may de-
velop govt at an early age; that is to say, the
the tendency in the father, REINFORCED by
marriage, and again REINFORCED by habit,
develops in the son with great rapidity.-
On the other hand, man with a equity
tendency may marry a woman free from
that tendency, and thereby dilute its force.
There are of course, well-known facts
which initiate against this view, but they
are generally held, we believe, to be excep-
lions to the rule. In the case of govt,
phthlsis and some other diseases, the ex-
ceptions are probably more apparent than
real; OF the general truth of the law there
can be no question British Medical Jour

Man and Woman.

Rev. Smith M. Baker, Of Lowell, Mass,
in recent sermon, said;
ssThe first man was not developed from q
seaweed or a monkey, but was made in the
image of God. Woman was also a crea-
ton from man, that forever they should real
ize the oneness of their natures and be
bound together with a common
love and destiny. A perfect human
character is fonud only in BOTH
No man is perfect image of God;
no woman is, but each supplements the
other. Roth have fallen, both are sinful.
Man is not greater or better than woman, or
woman greater or better than man,
They are equal but different. Any attempt
to destroy all distinction save that of the
sex will forever fail. They were each made
to represent God; man to represent the
sSerner, legal, kingly and fatherly side !;
woman to represent the equally strong
firm but affectionate, loving, motherly,
patient side. Man represents strength !;
woman represents grace man, power; wo-
man. beauty. Christ had both. Mans
strength does not imply ugliness or COARSE
ness; woman's beauty does not imply weak
ness. In all the finer instincts of the mind,
in delicate perception of the true and beau
tiful in nature and in thought, woman is
tu6 superior Oh Iudu. LII bu6 ulOThl graves
of patience, heroism, endurance and suffer
ing, woman is the superior of man. Mans
mind, as a rule, is stronger; womaa,s
finer. To bring forth the aggressive side
in the image of Christ is mans sphere
To represent his beauty of character is
womans. In these there is no more con-
fiict than in the mission of heat and light,
or than in the two halves of pair of
shears-they complete each other. Mans
is to glorify God by the building up of
noble aggressive work; woman s is to glori-
fly God and develop her own soul in the less
positive work of rejecting the beauties Of
grace. Sickness, suffering, poverty, are
not the saddest things in the world, but

'What shall we do with our Daughters ?"
This question is asked by wellknown
lady lecturer. Well, we can do great
many things with them; one thing, we must
take good care of their health, aud not let
them run down and become enfeehled. For
the feminine ailments, which may be sum-
med up in one word-debility, we have a
sovereign remedy in Browns Iron Bitters,
which has done much good. Miss Mary
of Galatia, ILL.,, writes, Browns
Iron Bitters cured me of nervousness, in
digestion and general poor health" Lot

Count Herbert Bismarck's promotion to the
high Office of secretary of state, vice Count
Won Hatzfelt, makes him the most impor
tant official in the German Empire after
Prince Bismarck, and places him in the
direct line of succession to his father at the
latter's death. The Count is but thirty six
years old, but has had eleven years. expert

being the negotiation of an arrangement by
which British acquiescence in Germany's

er of October 31st., and illustrates the truth
of the familiar saying, that "Those who
live in glass houses should not throw
stones" for the very next paragraph to
the above, written by the Editor of the
Recorder, reads as follows =
''Mr. Green stated in his speech here
Tuesday that though there acre only one
white vote in his county (Charlotte) against
four colored votes, that the Democrats
would send their candidate to the leglsla-
ture."
''How is that for high" for one who
critics. similar mistake in another, and
for one who, unlike the party he criticises,
was teacher by profession before he
mounted the editorial tripod ?"
The fact that the editor of the Recorder
made this lopsas pennae, does not prove
that he does not know better nor does the
fact that Mr.. Hobbs made similar mistake,
prove that he does not know better but if
the argument of the Recorder proves that a
man who makes a mistake in grammar is
not qualified to be member of the House of
Delegates, then it proves that the editor of
the Recorder is not qualifed-to which con-
clusion he would be the last to CONSENT
The editor of the Recorder seems to be hor-
ritied at the idea of the Democrats electing
a man to represent Highland in the House
OF Delegates who inadvertently makes a
grammatical mistake, and yet it supported
Gen. Logan-''a murderer of the kings
English''-as the Republican candidate for
the high Office of Vice-President of the
United States. Does the Recorder mean
that such is the difference between the
Democratic and Republican parties, that it
would be wholly uniting for the Demo-
Gratis to elect to the lower house of the
Legislature man who, by inadvertence,
makes grammatical mistake, whilst it
would be Fin accordance with the eternal
fitness of things" for the Republicans to
elect a man to the Office next to that of the
Presidency of the United States who can
neither speak nor write his emother
tongue" correctly? Whilst. the Recorder
is thus complimentary Of the Democratic
party, it is very severe in its consure of the

He assented. She led him to the much

red flowers were made Of his red fannels;
the white ones of his white fannels. The
stamens were made of the coffin shavings
and the pistils of his beard. The berries
and buds were made of the pills that were
left when he died, and the feathery part
was made of feathers of the last chicken
dear James killed before he was taken ill.

and ended her CHASTITY description of the
treasured wreath by imploring the bewild-
cred clergyman to lead in prayer"
