The End of the Crazy,Quiit FurOr.

The crazy qui 1t Juror is at an end, and
women whose intellect has not been ire
trievably wrec ked by its intricaces are now
turning their ttention TO the kind of patch
work known as Noahs ark. The quilt is
of serge, cloth, satin sheeting, or plain
cream sheeting. or, in fact. anything. The
Noah's ark is rather above the center, and
the animals ar e. of course. arranged two

cross stitch and outline, or In what is known
to art work ers as COUGHING. are all used in
the same pi zee of work. OF course, much
more inge nuity is required than in the
crazy quilt. without which it would be a
dismal fail ure. And there is question
whether any of these quilts. involving such
an outlay of labor, pays.

MarshaI mac N ahon's Daughter.

| Chicago Tribune.
At last, then, Mile. Marie MacMahon is
to be married. Why do / say at last? Be-
cause she should have been married long
ago.. And why again? Because Mile
Marie is now more than % years old, and
while so many girls of ili-looks, and ill-cult-
ure, and Interpolation have been married off
while yet in their teens. it IS unjust that
| she should have been compelled to wait
until an age so great. You do not think %
very old in America? But we do here. AT
| that age woman, if still unmarried, is re-
| garded as becoming pasSe, and at 25 she is
a hopeless old maid. Now, Mile. Mac
Mahon is notably handsome young lady.
with more intelligence and character in h er
face than 500 average society beauties pos
Sess. She has the stately figure and bear
| ing one would expect in a soldiers daughter.
She has also every accomplishment that the
best schools and teachers could bestow. OF
course, too. her name has never even been
breathed upon by scandal. And she is the
daughter of the Due de Magenta. one of the
most gallant soldiers France ever produced.
| Well, then. this paragon of attraction,
why was her hand not claimed in wedlOck
long ago? 1 blush to tell. But this is the
reason: Because she is the daughter of an
honest man! What? Indeed, yes. The
marshal is an honest man. He was an
honest man when he was president of the
republic. Therefore he is to-day poor
man. Therefore, again, his daughter has
no rich marriage portion to take to her hus-
| band. Therefore. finally. the marrying
men of France have passed her by In their
/ quest for wealthy brides. But let us set it
down to the everlasting honor of her father
that while he had the best of chances to
enrich himself he left the Elysee SO poor
that his daughter could have no marriage
portion. Who, then. is it WHO claims this
| pOrtionless bride? 1t is the Comte de Pien-
| mes, fairly estimable young man of mod
crate fortune. He is a son of the Marquis
de Piennes who was equerry to the En-
press Eugene, and made a fine fortune out

Labor Advocate, a paper published
in the interest of Labor, but here
tofore owned by private parties.
Since its purchase the Adr0cate has
increased in circulation until now 1t
has the largest in the Kanawha
Valley. The paper is non political
but opposed to class legislation.
A convention of all the Knights
OF Labor takes place early in Janu-
airy for the purpose of devising ways
and means for regulating the order
and for its better government. The
members are principally coal miners,
though other trades are represented.
A number of farmers and agricult-
nrists are on the membership rolls.
The organization is a permanent
institution, and is spreading alb over
the state. A prominent member
ventures the assertion that at the
next election the congressman from
the third district will be elected by
the order, and that two years hence
they will have several representa-
tives on the floors Of the state legis
lature.

A WORD TO DELInQUEnTS.

We are sadly in need of money to meet
pressing bills for type, paper, &C., and
must call on our friends for it. We have
large amount on our books due for SUBJ
scription, advertising, &C., which, if
promptly paid, would relieve us and en-
able us to meet engagements. We are
arranging to notify ALL subscribers in
arrears for year or more, including ac-
counts due for advertising, &c. As we
have to pay CASH for all that enters into
our business, we want to bring it to a
cash basis, if practicable. We hope to
hear from all promptly
We have little complaintto make of the
great mass of our patrons, most of whom
make it rule to pay with reasonable
promptness but there are some who
don't concern themselves about the
Printer, content to read the paper year
by year, without paying for it. This is
not only unreasonable but unbusiness
like and unjust. We cannot afford it
After allowing a reasonable time for all
to be heard from, it is our purpose to drop
all delinquents who disregard this notice
and arrange for collection of accounts
due to US. Meanwhile let us hear from
you.

There is one principle the Journal

No man is infalihle on mere ques-
lions of common life /; hence all must
be tolerant of the views of others on

own. Don't sacrifice your manhood
by accepting nnquestioned another's
opinion aud don't expect others to
accept your views, merely because
you speak them. Never withhold
