rnackoray's American Lecture Tour.

Thackeray's American Lecture Tour.
Thackeray was an improyident wretch,
and his expenses nearly always exceeded
his income. His avowed purpose in COM
ing to America the second time, in 1856,
was, To use his own expression, ITO lay up
a pot Of money" for his W. daughters,
and yet it shows the impulsiyeness and
the boyiShness Of the man that he re-
turned To England in the midst OF a pros
porous engagement and with half his lect-
ure dates untitled. Before he had visited
various cities in the west and in Penn
~sylyania, while in his one night in
his hotel in New York, he happened TO
pick up a newspaper, and there he saw
announced that a certain steamer would
sail for Liverpool next morning. A tit OF
homeSickness Overcame him. Although
he was about retiring and was partially
Invested of his apparel, he rang for his
servant. packed his baggage that very
night, and withous saying u word to one
Of his friends, sailed for home the next
morning.
Even Mr.. Fields, who was certainly his
closest American friend, had no intima-
ton of his sudden departure until several
days a%fterward, when the pilot who had
directed the vessel on it's way to the ocean
handed him a card on which these words
were written: Goodbye, Fields; goodbye,
Mrs. Fields. God bless everybody, says
W. NJ. T." This abandonment Of his en-
gagements meant for him a large pecu-
mary loss, and yet he afterward told Mr..
Fields in London that if John Jacob AS
tor had offered him half his fortune to
permit that particular steamer to sail
without him he would have declined the
impossible favor" and gone aboard. He
never had another chance to fill those
broken engagements. A few years after
ward, on a Christmas morning, his
mother found him dead in bed.-Phila-

REPURIJCAN IT

The address to voters issued by the Re
publican State Committee, published in
Wednesdays h~tcHigcResr, entirely com
posed rs it is of glittering g~eneralitieS,
platitudinal rot and plain unadulterated
lies, should not he \ surprise to any one
who is familiar with the campaign methods
of the Republican party in this State for
years past.
The evident object of the address is to
get yOtes-for the Republican party if pos
sible, but ut all events against the Dem
Ocratic party, To secure this result the
party is willing to do anything, to be for
prohibition in prohibition counties, and
against prohibition in counties where the
liberal vote predOminates. The committee
even gOessof far Us to suggest that it might be
advisable to try a new party after giving
the Republican party one, Just one more
trial.
The charges brought against the Demo
cratic administration OfnatiOnal affairs are
so very vague and indefnitea IS to give rise
to the conclusion that the committee max
ing them has either been unable to find any
errors of sufficient importance to be specif-
ically charged, or else docs not intend to
press them here in West Virginia.
The rot about vetoing pension bills, and
breaking up Johnny Roach is too stupidity
common place to deserve notice, further
than to remark in passing, that among the
many traits of character that render Mr..

Ann.ar nrarrinre Csremony.

A curious marriage ceremony TOOK
nlace the other day in Paris, which ex-
cited much curiosity and interest IN Wild
beast circles. The bride was the daugh-
fer Of a wild-beast tanner, the groom the
son of another gentleman In the same
profession. The guests were all tanners
and menagerie braves On q taoie were
several stuffed hon cubs; behind the
newly welded couple stood splendid
group Of four stuffed tigers, which Pezon
aid had cost him as much as II they a

panels representing the denizens of the
forest and desert were hung or the walls.
The menu was in keeping with all the

Girls Who whistle

The latest fad is whistling, if reports
from the grain city may be credited, and
whistling by those very girls who a year
ago picked the banjo and said it was the
ambition of their lives to do 1t we'll. But
young girls are queer cattle. Whistling
can not be acquired by every one, and
those who are able to pucker up their
lips and look pretty are miles ahead of
the banjo players. Somebody who does
not know much about music makes bold
TO say that a Chicago girl who has been
studying for two years now whistles
operas, sOnatas and waltzes by the score.
This really seems impossible, considering
what q score is, but il the damsel can
whistle all the parts in the score of one
opera she Is u chromatic wonderl The
next thing we shall hear Bach'S fugues,
o. the "Parsifal" music, whistled by
those young ladies, who have sufficient
musical cheek to make them to keep from
laughing in the middle Of a bar.-Boston

Evils of Modern Society.

Many of the evils of modern society arise
from misconception Of individual rights.
No man has a permanent foothOld here,
his is only tempory occupancy. @If," Us
DR.. Griswold says, men could realize
that the earth Is a large omnibus, making
its annual rounds, that its inhabitants
are but way passengers, getting on and
taking seats left by others, without as
Segment, and riding diverse periods and
distances; getting OF and yielding their
places to others without having acquired
permanent rights in the e~Quipage; II they
could realize that the stars Of heaven
wink at them when they come aboard,
and watch the futures Of their earthly
destiny, and the angels of heaven await
and attend their alighting, a disposition
would soon engender in universal human
ity, that would facilitate the happy adj
iustment Of earth life and fill it with IN
bounded felicity. boston Budget.

Cleveland so d~eservedly popular with the
people, as distinguished from the pohtt-
clans. none is more conspicuous than the
sulendid nerve he has shown in setting
himself steadfastly against fraudulent pen
sion claims pressed by Congressman OF
each party having axes to grind.
II is in State affairs that the committee
makes its loudest noise. The talk about
taxes, school fund, ETC., is dreary rehash
oflast elections campaign thunder, with a
dose about judicial despotism thrown IN
It is supposed this despOtism was lining
HART for contempt of court. In view OF
the fact that the people elected Ill oil tne
Democratic candidates, judges included
after thoroughly and patiently considering
all Of these matters, we would advise the
Republican leaders to give the people what
the committee says they want, a new
issue.
Reassessment seems to still be a thorn In
the lesh of the committee. Gov. WILSON
has. il declares, planted himself squarely
on the Republican platform in reversing
by his executive order the policy of Gov.
JACKSON. II this be the ease we do not see
of what our friends the enemy can conf
plain in this regard, they have their policy
adopted by Gov. WILSON, ard Gov.JAc
son received his v~indicatiOn at the hands
of the people.
We are constrained to admire the IN
g%enuity displayed by the committee IN the
matter of submitting the prohibition
plank. In one breath VT are told that the
ParkerBurg conference did not have the
authority of a convention, etc, N III
another that its authority is of n sovereign
character. The design is evident; the
liberal voters of the large counties, such
rs Ohio, Berkeley, Wood, etc, are ex-
pected to regard the conference merely as
the unofficial gathering of a few raOid
prohibition Republicans. The prohibition
masses, however, will have ''the dis
tinctly sovereign characteristics of this
conference constantly dinned into their
ears.
The animus of the address is at its end.
The savage attack made on the senior SEN
ator from this State shows that \ party
whose only aim is to gain votes will make
any charges however reckless in the hopes
that the mere fact of their being made will
induce some few to believe some OF them
are true. The charge that Sena-
tor Camden has taken possession OF the
conventions and machinery of the Demo-
cratic party and used it for his W per-
sonal ends is too palpably false to require
any denial.
What disturbs the officials of the Re-
publican committee is the comparison that
is being constantly drawn between Senator
Camden and General Golf. Mr.. Camden
has always used his wealth, accumulated
by his W skill and labor, to. increase the
material wealth and prosperity Of his ma
tive state. To say nothing of what he has
done elsewhere, the building of the Ohio
river railroad to benefit the state ut large
in opening up and charging fields of Ia
Dor, and afT0rding increased facilities for
travelling and transportation offreight, is
more than General GOff, with all his inner
tied wealth is likely to do during,the term
of his natural life Judging by what he has
done since he has been in public life.

We are sorry to see .our contemporary,
the H~ateHigsReer, take advantage of n sol
dierS' reunion where Democratic and Re-
publican veterans are met in fraternal
fellowship, to make political capital by
using such expressions rs this:
eff Mr.. Cleveland could see them rs we
do to-day could he have the heart to veto
their pension bills and jest Mt their ScarS?'
Mr.. CLEVELAND has sanctioned nearly
seven hundred pension bills. The official
records show that many thousand dollars
more have been paid for pensions this
year than the last year of Republican
rule. The vetoes the President made
were but in accordance with the law reg
ulating pensions. \ President, or no one
else, has a right to violate the law. II
the pension laws are wrong let the blame
fall upon them.

PROF. Virgins has concluded not to
send the great earthquake through South
Carolina ON the 18th inst, but will take
it around through Central America and
bring it in at the back door. The profess
sor is very accommodating. He is the
man who prophesied that between the
years 1883 and lssT nearly the whole hui
man race would be destroyed by earth
uuakes, wars, famine and pestileuee, but
on second thought concluded to take pity
on the inhabitants of this mundane
sphere.
