The above ticket is presented to
the voters of the City of parkers-
burg, not as partisan ticket. The
gentlemen named are presented, not
as adherents of any distin ctive po-
litical party, but as men who favor
the Prohibition of the liquor traffic
in this city; men free from
party control; men competent to
manage the affairs of the City with
Judgment and discretion; men
capable of reforming any and all
municipal abuses or evils; men of
integrity and honesty.
There are a goodly number of
voters in the city who have broken
off their former party allegiance
and are henceforth enlisted under
a new banner, making common
cause against the saloon, and in
favor of progress; for the lifting up
of the people, for political reform,
for the overthrow of the spoils sys-
tenn and the publication of politics.
Then there are many, who, while
for various reasons they do not see
their way clear to leave the old
parties, yet are tired of voting, year
after year, for the perpetuation of
the licensed liquor traffic. To all
such, of both classes, this ticket is
presented, that they may vote it
with a clear conscience.
So far as the new party is con-
cerned, it has as good a right to
standing room as any other. No
amount of manifested intolerance
can crowd it from the polls, wheth-
er it represents twenty votes, or a
thousand.
As to this canvass, it appeals to
all classes, parties, and conditions
of men for votes, and in this it is
unlike the other parties, in
that it presents live moral issue
which neither of the others do.
Is the saloon traffic in Parkers
burg worth consideration in this
canvass? In its extent, its condi
tons and in its consequences, has
it been satisfactory during the past
year? Does the success of either
the Democratic or Repu blican tick.
ct promise any improvement in
the future?
Let every voter with conscience
consider these questions. And
then without regard to what may
be the effect of others voting aOrong
let him vote right, and the result
will take care of itself.

gagged in prayer, evidently under the i'm

used to get up in his sleep, climb onto his
castle battlements, seat himself astride
them, and then spur and whip the wall
under the impression that he was mounted
upon his steed.
DIR. Pritchard had a patient who was
particularly fond of horse exercise, and
used to ride at night, find his way to the
stable, saddle his horse, enjoy gallop, and
finally come back, knocking at his own
front door. in somnambulistic condition.
Dr. Macnish, of Edinburgh, gives an ac-
count of an Irish gentleman who swan
more than two miles down a river, got
ashore, and was subsequently discovered
by the roadside, altogether unconscious of
the extraordinary feat he had accomplished
DR.. Haycock, the eminent Oxford divine,
would often rise from his bed at night, give
out his text and, while sound asleep. de-
liver an excellent sermon upon it. He was
frequently watched, out no amount of
Juggling, pulling or pinching ever succeeded
in rousing him.
Professor Fischnell, of Basil, writes of
young student of Wurtemberg College, who
used to play Hide and SEEK while fast
asleep. His fellow-students knew of his
propensity, and when he began walking
threw holsters at him. which he always
eluded, jumping over bedsteads and other
obstacles placed in his way.
Moritz gave an instance of poor and
illiterate basketmaker. who was unable TO
read or write, yet in state of sleep vigil he
would preach fluent sermons, which were
afterward recognized as having formed por-
tons of the discourses he was accustomed
to hear in the parish church as child
more than forty years before.

Tucson. July 16ih.--At mass meeting
of citizens held in this city last evening,
under the auspices of the Society of
Arizona Pioneers, for the purpose of adopt
ing resolutions calling upon the general
Government to take measures for the re-
moval of the Apache tribes from the Terri
tory, a somewhat novel suggestion was
made, and it was Immediately adopted as
the unanimous expression of the meeting,
namely: That a series of resolutions be
formulated by the Society of Arizona Pio-
neers setting forth i'll strong and suitable
terms the well-known sentiments of our
people upon this important question; that
the signature of the President of the Pic
neers, and the seal of the society be fixed
to the resolutions, which are then to be
forwarded to the Governor for his signature
and the seal of the Territory of Arizona
then in succession to the Boards of Super
visors of the different counties, to be signed
by the Chairman of each Board, and to re-
ceive the impress of each county seal.
Finally, the resolutions will be sent to each
incorporated town to receive the signature
of the Mayor and the seal of the town
corporation. 1t is believed that a series of
resolutions thus Endorsed could hardly be
ignored at Washington. and that Congress
would at last come TO the aid of our long
suffering people and grant the relief asked.

multitude of signatures might be treated

A WEST INDIA FRoG.- In old times
George Smith was well-known trader in
the village of Wayne All storekeepers
sold rum at that day, and Smith peddled
lot of it. He drew it frorn hogshead, in
which plug took the place of modern
faucet. a piece Of leather under the plug
shaped the course of the stream. Some of
Smiths customers occasionally bantered
him about watering his rum, but Smith
always good-naturedly replied that he
never put water enough in it to hurt EN-.
One morning a customer came in very
early and asked for quart of the liquor.
1t happened that the rum was low in the
hogshead. Smith canted it up, drew out
the plug, and only few drops came, but

around as lively as ever. Gosh r said

AN INGENIOUS ART THEFT. - London
Truth tells this story of "a fraud practiced by
a dealer in old curiosities: A marvellous
altar-piece, worth any amount was sold in
Spain, | think, to an English dealer for
10000. The vender stipulated that the
work should not be shown in public for
twelve months, his expressed reason being
that the noble family to whom it belonged
did not wish it known that they were so
poor as to be compelled to SELL On SINH
lar condition the dealer sold it for f40 900
to French millionaire, who. true to his
word, kept his treasure concealed for the
time agreed. AT the expiration of the year,
however, he arranged breakfast party of
cennolsseurs, and after the meal exhibited
his wonder, and invited expressions of ap-
proval. They did not come unanimously,
for one young gentleman remarked that
his uncle, Don Something r-other, had the
original. Of course there was great to do,
and the truth was soon ferreted out Small
pieces OF the original had been stolen, it
appeared, from time to time, and replaced
by skillful work fac-similes, so that gra-
dualiy second specimen had been built
up. There were, therefore, two of the most
magnificent fifteenth century gold and sill
yer altar pieces, but neither was wholly
genuine Somebody had to be prosecuted,
and as the dealer was rich, be returned the
money to his customer, and had the sails
faction of assisting the ingenious cop.ist
to term OF penal servitude.
