About the time that Mr., Jefferson Davis
was awaking old memories in the South
the following appeared in the Thibodaux
(Ls,,) Sentinel;
There were a good many rebels around
here some years ogo, and q few OF that
number remain. In Chicago 1t Is claimed
that rebels could not exist. The other
day in that loyal city q lot Of foreign So
cIalists pulled down q United States flag,
and hoisted q red flag over it. We are OF
the opinion that II would not be healthy
for any men, or any set Of men, to pull
down a United States flag in Thibodaux.
1t is probable that an sfIront 10 the
American flag would be resented in the
South as quickly as any where in the
Union. We do not for a moment think
that the people of the South or any part
Of it would be behind the people Of the
North in responding to a cali to arms in
the event Of a conflict with a foreign power.
In this respect the national spirit is as
strong in the South as anywhere. This
the world 80 well understands that there
is no foreign power that would hope to
benefit by a sectional discussion, for all Of
them well know there would be no divis-
ion Of any kind to profit by. In theevsnt
OF a foreign war there would be as great
activity in the Gulf States as in those
which border on the great lakes.
II Is therefore all the more to be regret.
ted that anybody feels like trying to array
against each other in time Of peace sec.
tons Of a country that would be impreg-
nably solid for the common defense in
time Of war. Peace is our normal condi.
ton, It Is worth even moro to us to be
united for our own peaceful purposes,
every citizen striving TO contribute to the
national strength and welfare. Nobody
gains anything by holdinga lodge Of sor.
row over the dead past and Wanting the
glories Of the Lost Cause.

The intelligent and business'like move
Of the Wheeling Chamber OF Commerce
in the interest Of local development has
already attracted attention. The outside
world has heard OF it, and q very generous
respouse comes from Pittsburgh.
The ~woll-coRceived article oil the Com
mercial Gasette ought to encourage this
community to put forth every energy in
the line which has been marked out by
thu Chamber Of Commerce, This repre-
sentative body has taken the lead, but it
welcomes the aid and cooperation oil
everybody.
Ii Wheeling had made the best OF her
opportunities in ths pact shs could easily
have had twice her present population 1t
is easy to appreciate what this would have
been TO her, But we shall make nothing
out Of the past except by avoiding its mis-
takes.
In addition to all other other advantages
we ere soon to have natural gas. Outside
capital has enough confidence in our
growth To invest nearly S2,OOO,OOO in the
. two planta which are to fuFaish the gas.
In this connection it will interest the peo-
plO Of Wheeling to know that Pittsburgh
capitalists engaged in manufactures are
looking in the direction OF Wheeling with
a view To establishing new plants, We
know Of no definite movement rs yet, but
the advantages Of Wheeling are being
talked about in Pittsburgh, where eligible
sites for manufacturing are becoming
scarce and taxation Is more than double
ours.
The Pittsburgh men who have put their
money in Wheeling gas lines are active
in the business lie Of that city. Though
they arc known as e~nterpriaing men they
are known also as prudent business men
who would not be likely to invest $1,000
900 where there 10 no solid foundation.
Their substantial confidence in the future
Of Wheeling is in itself an advertisement
Of value. When we get the gas in opera
ton we shall! have another advertisement
that willspeak for itself.
Home capital, which is abundant, need
not wait. There is a good field for its
profitable employment in branches Of
manufacture new to us. Other commu
mites mako money out Of other things
than nails and glass-why not Wheeling2
There is room for more potteries, and for
manufacturing plants to turn out the
countless articles made OF iron and steel.
The enterprises that arc got under way
now will BIO ready to turn in the gas when
it comes and jump in for a share Of the
fall trade, Boom the old town.

The Buffalo Courier tells an interesting
draw-poker story, and insists that it is
true. The game was played in Buffalo

had won 500 and was about to jump the

Kings and an ace. 1t wa invincible be-
cause they were not playing straight

ped along, not wishing 70 keep anybody
ont, The Others staid and all drew cards,
the man with the kings throwing away
his ace and drawing one card rather
than spoil his chances Of getting
bets by standing pat, The man
who had made the $40 raise took two
cards. Then the betting began, ALI
we're driven out except the man with the
four kings and the man who had drawn
two cards. They whaCked back and forth
at one another untilat length, having ex.
hRusted all his chips and gone shy for
many dollars, the man with the kings
felt that he had won all he wanted to, and
called, To his horror his opponent laid
down four aces, The beaten man howled
and claimed fraud, for how could the
other man have four aces when he him
self had one before the draw The ex.
PLANTATION was simple. There being seven
players there were not cards enough to go
around alter the irst deal, and so the dis
cards were shufisd up and dealt for the
draw, In the draw the nan who took
two cards and was drawing to three aces,
got the ace that the mRn with four kings
had discarded, and was thus able to beat
him out oil his boots.

GREAT GRIEF.

From the Athens (Ga.) Banner.Watchma
Uncle Dick Saulter says: Fifty years
ago l had a running ulcer on my leg which
refused to heal under any treatment. In
1858 went to California and remained
eighteen months and in 1878 visited Hot
Springs, Ark, remaining three months, but
was not cured. Amputation was discussed,
but concluded to make one more effort.
/ commenced taking the B. B. B. about six
weeks ago. The fifty.year-old sore on my
leg is healing rapidly, and yesterd ay
walked about fifteen miles fishing and hunt.
ing without any pain, and before using the
B. B. B. l could not walk exceeding half a
mile sleep soundly at night for the first
time in many years. To think that six bot.
ties have done me more good than Hot
Springs, eighteen months in California,
besides an immense amount of medicines
and eight or ten irst-class physicians, will
convince any man on earth that it is a
wonderful blood medicine. 1t has also,
cured me of catarrh.

Secretary of the Interior, and until
these reports are made to the perfect
satisfaction of the Secretary of the In
terror, he is empowered to withhold
any further portion of the fund from
the State. 1t further provide that
the Secretary of the Interior shall in
yestigate every little charge Of mis-
appropriation or discrimination, pre-
serve all corespondenceand evidence
taken thereon, and annually report
same to Congress. Thissimply makes
the fund an object of political discord
and internal party strife.
AS previously asserted, we favor a
broad system of common schools, and
favor Federal aid to the same, but we
also favor State control of any such
aid, without any Federal supervision
whatever. The people of the South
have taxed themselves for the educa-
ton of white and black alike, and if
they are willing to share proportion
ately with the negro the money they
raise by direct taxation for school
purposes, they can certainly be trusted
to use any money contributed by the
General Government without dis
elimination. The South should be
compensated for the loss of its slave
property, and the people of the South
are willing to use every dollar of such
compensation for common school pur-
poses, and that the negro shall share
its benefits in exact proportion that
the negro population bears to the
white, but the people of the South are
not willing to turn their schools over
to the control and supervision of the
Federal Government, however liber-
ally that government may contribute
to their support.

NASHVILLE MARKET REPORT.

Corrected from the Nashville Union every
Thursday evening.
Business was very good today in
all departments. Some additional
impetus was given to trade by the
contemplated change in the gauge of
the Southern roads to the standard
gauge, parties being anxious to have
their goods shipped in advance of
that change under the impression
that it will delay freights more or
less.
The flour trade was very good and
the market steady for all grades.
Wheat was quiet, but steady.
Stocks in the hands of millers are
generally low, and the indications
are that the trade for June will be an
improvement over that of May.
Corn was steady and unchanged,
with good demand. Sales of thirty
three cars were reported for shipment
South.
Hay was in fair request, with sales
of five cars for shipment.
Provisions were quiet and steady,
with no changes.
Groceries were steady and fairly
active. Cotfees are very firm at the
advance. Sugars are also steady at
quotations.
Country Produce-Eggs were in
good demand at 7!@Sc from first
hands. Butter was in better request,
but not very active. Poultry was
steady and in good demand at quota
tons. Early vegetables and berries
were very dull, prices being too low

ments.

Washington Letter.

a sensation was raised in the Gov
eminent Department here during the
week. The Executive Appropria-
ton bill, as just reported to the House
of Representatives, has not provided
for 225 Government clerks, and con-
sequently the force must be cut down
to that extent. Republicans are panic
stricken again, of course, and every
Republican office holder feels that his
time for dismissal has come.
Besides these changes, Others are
contemplated, which involve reduc-
ton of salaries among government
employees. In the Department of the
Interior the changes go both ways.
The force of the Patent Office is in
creased; that Of the Pension Bureau
decreased. Thirty-ninemore EXami-
ners and eight assistants are added in
the former, while in the latter the
clerical force will be reduced $50.
Speaking ofhis requestfor increased
force, the Commissioner of Patents
said that the work of examining APP
plications for patents is very much
behind, and inventors have beencom
PEELED to wait in some cases a good
many months before their applica-
tons could be reached, for the first
examination. There are twenty-five
examining divisions in the Patent
Office, some of which are nine months
in arrears, and the result is thatmany
inventors suffer in consequence of the
delays in getting their patents. Com
missioner Montgomery claims that
with this additional force he can, in
a short time, bring the work up prac.
tically to date, and then keep it up.
The U, S. Patent Office is not only
self-supporting, but now turns into
the treasury, through fees, a yearly
surplus of $15O,0OO.
Since it passed the notable promis
cuous and universal pension bill, it is
felt that the U. S. Senate has com
pletely lost its head in the matter O
public expenditures. The bill give
pensions to all soldiers of the Unior
army, who enlisted for three months
if they are, from any cause, depend
ent upon their own exertions for sup
port.
/ While discussing this subject, Sena
tor VOORHEES, thought it might be wei
to consider how much the enactmen
of such legislation would take out 0
the Treasury. He was not opposed
to any reasonable pension measure
but expressed desire to knowwher
he was going before he went. Sena
tor ingalls, was not at all bothered OF
this score. He did not care how
much a measure cost the government
he said, provided he was convinced i
was a Just one. And in that rasping
sarcastic style which he affects, h
criticized the distinguished Senate
from Indiana for stopping to coun
the cost. The Republican Senator
plan may have been pretty one il
the abstract, but Senator Voohees
idea was more in sympathy with tn
spirit of the country that is becoming
more practical and business-lik
: every day.
Much has been said about the fail
ure of the present Congress to accom-
plish anything, but there is littl
doubt that the House of Represents
tives will defeat this fantastic pen
sion scheme. BY thus checking tn
extravaganza of the Republican Sen
ate, the Democratic House will max
