A MOST remarkable freak of natI

A MOST remarkable freak of nature
has been discovered at the National
Soldiers Home near Milwaukee,
where, at a depth of sixteen feet be
low the surface, a flow of water which
is but six degrees above freezing
point has been found in newly-dug
well. Pumping machinery is to be
provided for supplying the institution
with this water, and other borings are
being made to ascertain if water of
still lower temperature cannot be
found at greater depth.

A BOYS BRAVERY.

Do the lads of this generation de-
claim that poetical tribute to youthful
heroism which extols the boy who
stood on the burning deck, whence
all but him had fed? When we We're
boys there was scarcely defamation
day on which we did not hear it re-
cited. 1t may be that the years since
then have been so freighted with ex
amples of boyish heroism that 10 boy
now cares for ".Casabianca."
One Of these later, and, to our think
ing, more attractive examples of
youthful heroism occurred at the out
break of the Sepoy mutiny IN 1851
just before the awful storm broke. the
system of electric telegraphs had been
extended over the surface of British
India. The mutineers rushed to Del
HI to seize upon the old hereditary
seat of the Mohammedan empire, and
began cutting the throats of Europe
ans. While the rattle of cannon and
musketery was rolling around the
telegraph Office, little English boy,
moved by a sense of duty, stuck to his
post until he had telegraphed to the
cCAA-AA41S'o1OAlSI lI 1Hc
age announced that the muutineers
had arrived at Delhi, and had muir
dered this civilian and that officer,
and wound up with these significant
but childlike words: We're OFF,
The boys courage and sense of
duty saved the Punjab. As soon as
the telegram reached Lahore, the
General in command Of the Sepoys
disarmed them When they learned
of the rising at Delhi, they were pow
er.ess to DO any injury The General
flashed the awful news to Peshawur
Hindoostanee regiments there were
also disarmed, and, though mutineers
at heart, We're rendered incapable of
harm. Then the telegraph was cut
by the rebels-but the boy at Delhi
had saved Northern India TO the Brit
ish crown. The officer in charge had
been killed, but that brave lad staid
long enough at that instrument to dis
patch the warning.-YOuth's Comp.

The Worth of Success.

In this Handle, if not in other sec
tons of the State, there is pending a per-
sonal question in politics, by which, a
measure of the worth of success, through
individual effort can be obtained. 1t is
this, Messrs J. y. Camden and II. G. Da-
Wis, through hard work, anxious mental
toll and persevering application have become
rich. In so doing, they have largely con-
tributed to the material development of
West Virginia. They have cleared water
courses, opened and worked coal mines,
bored oil wells, run refneries, constructed
railroads, opened up mountain tops, and
sides, and valleys, with miles and miles of
timber for merchantable and mechanical
use. Such is their record, and out of their
labor has come to them financial success.
Strange to say, with all these vast indus
tries, requiring the application of the old
Wing doctrine of protection, they are both
democrats. But now as to the worth OF
their success. Their own party are using
it to crush them. Their achievements are
the very weapons tina. the democratic poll
ticans are using for their destruction.
Their ability to plan and to execute, and 20
succeed, Is to be the reason for their politi-
cal downfall The largest of employers,
they are called monopolists. Developers
of the natural wealth of the State they are
said to be unworthy of confidence. Con-
structors of the great arteries of trade and
commerce, they are to be known rs foul
blisters on the body polite and are to be
denounced by every common scavanger,
who never used moment of time, cent
of money, or an instant otthOUght for pub
lie veal Such is the worth of success, to
energetic men in public life. 1t is a sick
ening cup to press to the lips of the ambi-
tious and energetic youths of this great
Republic for if correct in principle, then
the worth of personal success is as naught
by the side of the empty nothingnesS of the
miserable, carping drone.-lLartinsJurg In

Mr. John NJ. Daniel, County Executive Com
mittee Secretary, publishes a Card in the Spirit
in which he says:
Il am credibly informed that the charge has
been circulated through the county. that went
70 a newspaper published in CharleStown, and
tried b chance ne Plan Of County Primary from
the rqy IN irhich L ,ras adopted By the Committee
That charge is false"
The only newspaper publisher TO whom
pointed out the mistakes, above mentioned,
refused to make any change
We will not undertake to confirm charges
circulated throughout the county; nor put
ourselves 20 very mach trouble 70 cOntrovert
what Mr.. Daniel is pleased to emphasize by i
tales. We informed friend or two that Mr..
Daniel came into our Office to change the Plan
as published in de Spirit, -and that he admits
We protested against his change of the lst par
agraph. in which he desired to leave out the
almost only ineligible part Of the Plan con-
corning the Senatorship. He then said-If
that is left in that part of the Sth paragraph
except as 10 candidates and delegates for the
Senatorial Convention" should be left out
He said nothing about it belonging to the first
paragraph. Leaving il out, or putting 1t in
another place than that indicated by the man
uscript, was a change of the Plan of the Com
mittee. However. we expressed our readiness
to make the change if he insisted upon it. He
concluded he had better let il stand as publish
ed as he had no authority 10 make the change. 1t
is apparent. therefore that until he reached
that conclusion he did mediate change, and
that is our answer. He simply forgets. IfMr.
Blessing the compositor in the Spirit office. haf
strictly followed the manuscript furnished him
the Plan would have been discreditable to the
intelligence Of the Committee as it well-nigh
proved to be anyhow. The manuscript, in
part. was an " old birds nest" 1t enumera-
ted officers voted for at a former election. Mr..
Blessing exercised his good Judgment in more
particulars than one. The subcommittee has

the plan published conform to the plan of the

sal judgment.

Everybody knows that General Nathan
Golf and Hon. johnson \. Camden are the
leaders of their respective parties. Let us
admit that the Democratic party is work
ing to send Mr.. Camden to the Senate again
though there are in fact several candidates.
Since the Republicans are working for one
man. why do they make such fuss about
Democrats. Do not all Camden's actions
at present. and his past history show that
he is doing much more for the people of
West Virginia and would better represent
their interests than Gen. Golf? Where has
Gen. Golf with all his inherited wealth ever
done anything to benefit the people of this
State? If any one knows Of anything we
would like to hear him speak out. Right
alongside the address to voters in Wednes-
DAYS HtelTqeRcer, we find that Senator
Camden has another railroad scheme on
foot that if carried out will place Wheel
ing on the through line of the Pennsylva-
mia railroad leading from Cincinnati to
New York and will be of incalcuable bene-
fiji TO this State. But nothing Is ever said
about Gen. Golf investing his money in
such beneficial enterprises. The Gen.
wants his money handy for shaving notes.

The newspapers and politicians are for
Camden but the people are opposed TO ms re-
election The opposition is greatest in those
counties which are most strongly Democratic.
If we are not mistaken the newspapers of
this county are about evenly divided and ex-
anime into the matter and you will find that
there are some lively local politicians opposed
tohim and scrutinize the primary returns and
YOU will discover that there was not so much
difference rs TO the number of the people for
and against Mr. Camden; and when it comes
down TO the expenditure of money we rather
reckon the anti Camdenites were not incon-
spicuous in that particular. 1t may be true
thar the OBJ osition is greatest in those coun-
ties which are most strongly Democratic but
lust as the white sheep eat more than the black
ones. because there are more of them. More
democrats may be disatlected towards Mr..
Cleveland in New York than in Delaware for
the same reason. The democrats are just as
good, even more loyal It may be, where par
ties are more nearly equal and they must be
steadfast and diligent and uncompromisng TO
maintain party organization. We would not
question the democracy of our Berkeley friends
because they cannot return majority such as
we doin Jefferson. The Spartan bands in Nor
gan. Grant, Taylor and Preston command our
admiration. They would be respected by the
Hest Virginia Democrat if they would permit
Mr. Mason to be their co lnsellor and guide
Ifit be true as the West Virginia Democrat as
serts, that the newspapers and politicians are
for Camden, but the people are opposed to his
reelection" it appears to us, accepting Jeiier-
sons primary as an illustration. that we have
almost as many newspapers and politicians as
there are people ;"

In reminding its readers that 1886 Is es-
sentially "a Friday year" the st. James Ga
-ette makes some very palpable errors which
have passed uunoticed by the newspaper"
on this side of the Atlantic. That the year
came in and will go out on Friday and
contains 50 of those unlucky days is true
enough. The Gazette, however, says that
"four months in the year contain five Fri
days" and that the longest and shortest day
falls on Friday Both these statements are
wrong. January, April, July, October and
December-fye months-have five Fridays
each. and June p fell on a Monday and
December p will fail on Tuesday. Our
staid English cousin should really do better
than this and Yankee editors ought not to
take British accuracy for granted.
