A pound of bananas, it is said,
contains more nutriment than three
pounds of meat or many pounds of
potatoes, while as q food it is in
every sense superior to the best
wheaton bread. Although it grows
spontaneously throughout the trop-
les, when cultivated its yield is pro.
digious, for an acre of ground plant
ed with bananas will return as much
food material as thirty-three acres of
wheat, or over 100 acres ofpotatoes.
1t is not generally understood that
bananas fried, baked or roasted are
very appetizing, and that sliced and
placed in dish, with alternate slices
OF oranges, they make a most delic-
ious dessert.

ON THE RACK.

The way of the political editor is
tortuous, full of trials, bruises and
sores. just now the Monroe Watch
man, an anti-Camden paper, has
placed Bro. Colston on the rack and
proceeds to cracking joints with all
the apparent relish of master tor
turer of the Inquisition. Now, how
in the world can the Watchman ex-
pect any good from Coiston for the
man whom the Wdtchman wants to
take Camden's place? Hasn't the
Wdtchman man an axe to grind or
friend to reward? In other words,
is he not just as firmly favorable for
some other man to take Camden's
place, as Colston or others can be to
re-elect Camden? After all, it is a
matter of personal preference and
each has right to his preference.
This being true, had not the breth-
rem best ease up on one another and
keep the irons from getting too hot?

that fuel millennium is about to

Inasmuch rs the price of gas here
continues to be $3.50 per 1000 feet,
whilst i'll Baltimore it is down to so
cents per thousand, we suggest that
the Register man chase down the
above inventors and have him for
ward one of his lighting machines to

A Democratic Portrait of the

Cincinnati Enquirer, Dem.)
1t is unfortunate that President
Arthur's successor in the White
House is heavier type of selflove,
without even the superficial refine
ment of Arthur, with the flavor Of
beer, and its shape stamped upon
him, and an idea that roughness be-
comes the magistrate. We seem to
see the Bow Street officer, as in the
times of Henry Fielding, sitting on
the bench, magnificent among his
tipstaves, fetching up a great echo
from the recesses of his stomach, and
appalling the small boys whom he is
to sentence. The attempt is being
made to impose upon the United
States, as this individual imposed
upon the prisoners in the county jail
of Buffalo, by clearing his throat,
looking around in sovereign man.

A VERY pleasant company of ladi

A VERY pleasant company of ladies
and gentlemen gathered at the M. E.
Parsonage in Harper's Ferry on Tues
day evening, the End inst. They brought
with them provisions of all sorts for
the pastor, the Rev. w. &. Griffith,
and his family, to whom the visit was
quite surprise. Several hours were
spent in pleasant converse and singing,
after which the company left for their
homes, all happy in the enjoyment of
the occasion. The Conference year
which closes with the present month
has been ore of remarkable success on
the Harper's Ferry charge. Successful
revival meetings have been held at all
points and there have been two hundred
and six conversions during the year

A GOOD IDEA.-We learn that there
is movement on foot to purchase five
hundred quails in Tennessee, and dis
tribute them through the fields nearthe
city. The intense weather which has
prevailed here for month past, has, it
is thought, frozen nearly all the game
birds, and next fall unless the means
spoken of is resorted to, there will be
none at all, in all this country. 1t is
proposed to take up a subscription for
the purchase of the quails. We hearth
ly endorse and will subscribe, and feel
sure that not only all of our sportsmenl
but others who are fond of game, will
subscribe towards the fund. Winches-
ter Times.
Better keep those quail tied. They
might wander into Berkeley county.

Socialism i'm Germany.
New York Tribune.

A flood Of light is let in on the
singular spread of Socialism in the
German capital by statistics show
ing that in Berlin no less than "a, 900
families, comprising nearly 100000
individuals, have to live, sleep, and
often work in Suites of a single
room. In 5000 of these rooms there
is neither stove nor fireplace. One
fourth of their tenants are poor
dodgers. Twenty-Five thousand fam
lilies live in cellars under sanitary
conditions that are characterized as
absolutely shocking. Such meager
accommodations as our despised
New York tenements afford, with
their two or three rooms to each
family, are at premium, and would
be accounted great boon by thou
sands. Only of the poorest and the
best classes ofdwellings-those rent
ing at 10000 reichmark year or
over-is there abundance, for the
Berlin builder is a speculator, not a
philanthropist. The poor have not
even the chance of going to church
of a Sunday to mediate on better
things to come, were they so minded;
for all the Protestant churches and
chapels in Berlin have together
hardly seats for $4,000, while the
servant girls alone number over co.

of setting for subordinates an exam
pie of economy and frugality they
now seem likely to encourage ex-

A PLEASANT TRIP.--The editor in COM
pany with Capt. Colston Of the Statesman,
Hon. Z. Boyd Faulkner and Mr.. George NJ.
Bowers, made very pleasant trip to
Washington on Thursday last. We spent
the day looking up friends. Our first call
was at the room Of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, where we found our
genial friend, Mr.. Wilson Vance, smiling,
pleasant and obliging as ever. From there
we travelled up stairs, had cordial grasp
Of the hand with Mr.. g. Cross, Of Harper's
Ferry, Assistant Doorkeeper of the SEN
ate, and thence into the celebrated marble
room, where, shortly, Senator Kenna,
handsome, affable and kind, cheerfully
greeted us. Next we drifted to the other
end of the avenue, and few squares there
from, at 1920 New York Avenue, we found
a small colony of Martinsburgers, viz; the
law office of Hon. John Blair Hoge, and
the real estate office of Messrs. Fisk a. Hal
deman. They are all happy and prosper
Gus and have our best wishes. Next, ac-
companied by the editor of the Statesman,
weyisited Norwood Institute, where we
spent an hour in sweet converse with
Martinsburg student-ye editors daugh-
ter, Miss Anna, and her yiyacious, agreea-
BILE roommate and companion, Miss Jessie
Coleman, of California. We next met Mr..
John Alburtis, of the Government Print
ing Office, and Mr.. Scott, an attorney of
Randolph county, and other friends at the
National, which is the regular stopping
place of West Virginians at the Capital.
All in all it was a pleasant trip, and our
creditors were not cheated out of many
cents for this one day off.

Miss Kate Bayard's Sacrifice.


"Miss Katie Bayard dead?" said an
old observer of Washington life yester-
day, dropping her evening paper. That
is one of the brightest women and best
spirits in the Washington world killed
by the pace of social life to-day.
She dreaded beyond measure, let me
tell you, the appointment of her father
as Secretary Of State. The Bayards
are not rich. Thanks to social foot
ing which made it possible to do
as they pleased, their position could
be maintained while Mr.. Bayard
was one of the senior senator's
on a salary which would scarcely pay
the house rent Of some Secretaries Of
State in the last ten years. Now Sec
rotary Of State must entertain. No !.
don't tell me that this is simple re-
publican government. 1t may be for
you men, but just come to Washington
and hear what women have to say. HI
natured people sDeered at the plain life
and high manners Of the Bayards, and
now-well, they say it was heart-dis-
ease. The brave, plucky, brilliant lit
tie woman never would have had it if
her mothers reception-day had not been
moved from Thursday to Wednesday.
WAS she pretty? When you are
older and know as much as an old
woman like me you will understand that
that question is of the least possible
consequence. Nobody who ever saw
her forgot her, and | never saw any one
she cared to interest escape her bizarre
and brilliant charm. She shocked that
large part of Washington which eX-
hausts its energies and its intellect in
trying to recollect which corner Of a
card to turn down. She would take
any timber in the saddle and
she cleared familiar coRreR0Hces with
a social seat so secure and hand
so steady that there never was a spill,
though good friends like myself held
their breath sometimes. But under all
the brilliant, dazzling side turned to the
world there lay an earnest sincere ma
ture which put her wonderfully keen
head to solid work by her fathers side.
Poor Katie Bayard and she had to
the very brim all that life can give a
young woman IN the very front of the
whirl of public and social life"
