The pony stops to slake its thirst at an alkali pool.
 The stars grow pale and skimmers of faint light dart up in the eastern horizon.
 Daylight is approaching. Presently little prairie birds begin to chirp and call to each other, heralding the breaking of day.
 The pony quickeus his gait and moves with more spirit. Tod grows wide awake and straightens up in the saddle.
 A few more turns up and down some rolling hills and here they are at the r.nch.
 AT THE RANCH.
 It is quite early yet and no one IS awake. Tod strips the saddle from his pony and turns it loose with kick. Running off few steps 1t takes roll in the dust and then trots away with shrill neighs to find the herd of COW ponies that are running loose on the prairie.
 Tod enters the ranch house and proceeds to shake up the boys who are snoring soundly Tn their bnnks.
 "Get up, here, you lazy deadheads, it's broad daylight
 With curses and yawns they comply and the cook bustles into the kitchen to get breakfast.
 "Halloa, Tod, back1 Come in here," calls the foreman from an ad, joining room. Tod obeys and the two are closeted in counsel.
 A, breakfast there is distribution of nail and much answering of mlny questions about who all Was Tn town and what kind of a time they had.

IN WASHINGTON
SOCIETY.

There is now discussion in Washington
society as TO who shall have precedence, the
wives of Senators or the wives of mem
bers of the Cabinet. 1t is claimed by some
that as the members of the Cabinet are
nearer in the line of the Presidential sue
cession, their wives should first be called
upon by Senator's wives.
Several questions of this kind have
come up in late years, But why they
should arise in q free republic like ours the
people of the country cannot understand.
Of course these distinctions would be all
right if the United States were England.
This is not England, and it is feared that
some questions of etiquette will IN the
future assume such momentum that they
cannot be settled peaceably even by ex-
tending suffrage to the women. If POPE
were alive and present at some future con-
test he would repeat his lines:
Then flashed the living lightning from her eyes
And cies of horror rent the aifrighted skies.
Not louder shrieks TO plying heaven are cast
When husbands or when lap dogs breathe their
last,
OR when the chinaware that stood on high
In crushed and painted fragments lie.
1t is hoped that these questions will be
settled peaeeably, and that the change OF
seasons and the revolutions of the planets
will not be interfered with, and that no
more earthquakes will be brought to shake
IN Uncle Sans domain and scare the
American eagle.

In Advance of All its Contemporaries.
Sitting Down With a Preacher.
Harocr's Magazine.


In western town dwellS Elder R, a
clergyman very well known throughout
his State for ability and shrewdness. 1t
is pretty generally believed, on account Of
his evident knowledge Of the ways of the
world, that he was rather rapid in his
youth Among his sceptical neighbors is
a hotel keeper OF jovial disposition and
liberal heart. Whenever the elder has
a specially convincing and sweeping dis
course prepared it is his wont to give
special invitations to his doubling friends
to be present, and these are some
times accepted with the prOvisO
that the dominic and his lady
shall meet the party ut the hotel ut dinner
on an appointed day during the week, so
they may have an opportunity to defend
themselves. On these occasions dinner
often lasts the whole afternoon, and the
elder is obliged to parry the combined
blows of the opposition. On one occasion
mine host found his match in the clergy
man in worldly way, and it is this cir
CumStanCe that i set out to relate. The
landlord returned on n certain Saturday
evening from a trip to the far West, and
next morning found him, with his wife,
seated in front pew. When the plate
was passed he telt in all his pockets. but
could find only comb, jack-knife and
circular piece of ivory marked -, p? which
is supposed by poker players to represent
value The latter was dropped in the
plate under the vigilant eye of the pas
tor, hut unnOticed by the sexton,
whose eyes had been dimmed by
age On receiving the collection the pas
tor missed the chip" and asked the SEX
ton for it. The latter had thrown it away,
surprising it to be mark of disrespect
from some scoifer. Elder R knew his
man, and caused the representative of
value to be recovered. Next morning, as
the landlord was dilating on his trip to a
crowd of friends in his office, Elder R
appeared, and advancing to the counter
placed the chip down with the click so
familiar to connOisseurs and asked: Can
you redeem that this morning, Brother
s." OF course, $ could not do
less than hand out s. bill, and the elder
departed, after expressing the hope that he
might always he so lucky. Mine host says
that he shall not sit down with apreach-
er again.

4 NEW ERA FOROUR STATE.

The completion Of the Ohio River rail-
road to Point Pleasant marks q new era
in the history of our State. The rolling
stock will be on hand and travel and trans
pOrtatiOn will he begun by January >.
We now for the first time have a rail-
way line extending from Wheeling to
Charleston. Our legislators can leave
Wheeling in the morning and reach the
State capital in the afternoon. They are
much more fortunate than their humble
predecessors who had to spend week or
two riding across through the country, or
90 away around by the north pole and
come in by way of Virginia or Ohio.
The Great Kanawha and the upper Ohio
Valley will now be brought many miles
nearer together and an impetus will be
given the trade between the sections that
will result in immeaSurahle benefit to
each. Not only Charleston and Wheeling
will be benefited, hut all the towns and
country along the line.

TENNYSoN'S poem, a part OF which was
published in Yesterday REGISTER, while
it bewaiIS the dangers that threaten many
cherished institutions, through the growth
OF disreSpect for the uSages and traditions
held sacred by our fathers, and the deyel-
Opmcnt Of a belief that liberty means
license, lets his Muse dwell upon some OF
the causes that breed dangers. These
striking words ought to make the ariStOc-
racy OF England blush. They should even
be felt across the ocean among some men
who hoard up their dollars by grinding
their fellows down.

CONSIDERING THE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE BILL.

CONSIDERING THE INTERSTATE
COMMERCE. BILL.
This is the section of the Interstate
Commerce bill, relating to long and short
hauls, as agreed upon by the conferecs OF
the two houses ofCongreSS
That it shall be unlawful for any COM
mon carrier subject 10 the provisions OF
this act 10 charge or receive any greater
compensation in the aggregate for the
transportation of passengers or of like kind
of property, under substantially similar
circumstances and conditions, for a shorter
than for longer distance over the same
line, in the same direction, the shorter be-
ing included within the longer distance;
but this shall not he construed as author
izingany common carrier within the terms
of this act to charge and receive rs great
compensation for a shorter rs for q longer
distance PrOridCd, hoWCrcr, That upon
application to the commission appointed
under the provisions Of this act such COM
mon carrier may, in special cases, after in
veStigatiOn by the commission, be author
lied to charge less for longer than for
shorter distances for the transportation of
passengers or property; and the commits
sion may from time TO time prescribe the
extent to which such designated common
carrier may be relieved from the operation
of this section of this act.
This is the essentially the section as
amended by Senator CAMDEN and if pass
ed will relieve West Virginia from the dis
elimination that has so long impeded her
prosperity. The strong railroad lobby now
in Washington has been doing its utmost
TO put of the consideration of the bill till
too late to be acted upon by the present
Congress. 1t is gratifying to know that
through the firm position taken by Sena-
tors REAGAN, CAMDEN, and Others, it
will be considered by the Senate immedi-
ately after the holidays.
