There is representative in Congress
from one OF the Southern States who
manages to live comfortably in Washing
ton at an outlPy of not more than 81 800
per annum. He has no family, and
neither drinks wine, etc. nor uses to-
bacco. He apparently enjoys life in his
own way and is general favorite with
his Congressional associates. He has
neat but not cxtravagant apartments in
a respectable section of the city. and
dresses in goo taste. Many of his com
panions are very anxious to learn his
method of saving 80 much of his salary,
hut he refrains from giving any advice
on the subject. telling them good natur-
edly that il is the result of his selfcou :
troll. He il not IN any sense a miser, but
he is about the best specimen of a model
moral Congressman in existence to day.

Hon. Geo. C. Sturgiss and others
are interested in the development OF
a large tract of Cheat river land,
and they have decided to try its coke
producing qualities. 1t is under
stood that one hundred ovens will be
erected at once, and others in the
near future. Yesterdays Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette says:
The new field is situated just
above the mouth of Cheat river. 1t
lies in West Virginia and is eight or
ten miles from Morgantown. The
tract was bought up years ago, early
in the seventies, by Messrs David
son and Lewis, two Pittsburg CAPT
talists. Since that time the land
has been practically of no benefit,
the gentlemen who owned it doing
nothing but paying the taxes. The
Fairmont d Morgantown road, a
branch of the Baltimore d Ohio, was
completed, however, early last fall
and the management have offered to
extend the line to the coal tract if
the gentlemen who own it would
erect 100 coke ovens upon it.
Hon. George c. Sturgiss, one of
the leading lawyers of the northern
part of West Virginia, and in 1880
the Republican candidate for Cover

wilson estate in Monongalia. He
communicated the offer to the heirs
in this city and was here yesterday
to complete the arrangements. He
says there is every prospect that the
ovens will be built and has no doubts
for their success. This, too, he says,
is only the beginning of great de-
velopment in the northwestern part
of West Virginia.

Comments ON a Few Matters and
Things.

Several times recently / have no
ticed that some of the street eros
sings have been blockaded with
wagons, and ladies were compelled
to leave the crossings and walk
around through the dirt and mud.
Couldn't these wagons just as easily
drive on few feet and leave the
crossings open2 Drivers did you
ever think of this? These block
AIDES are sure to take place when the
streets are muddy. Won't somebody
see that this thing is remedied?

town would be gallant and liberal
enough to elect some lady to fill one
of the places on the School Board,
but | understand that they didn't
so much as nominate one. / know
nothing against any member of the
Board but / also know that there
are number of ladies in town any
one of whom would make a worthy
and efficient school commissioner.
They are as intelligent as the men !;
they are as well educated as the
men; they are as much interested in
education as the men are; they
know the needs of our schools as
well as the men do; now will some
body please tell me why they
wouldn't make Just as good school
officers? | am not anxious for
them to be Mayor or Town Ser
geant or Street Commissioner, but
/ do think we might be repre-
sented on the School Board and
the School Board not weakened any
either.

Of tastes. manners and character go

Of this the next time Morgantown

dresses made of fine and costly ma
terial, but put together in such ludi-
crous shapes that mummy couldn't
help smiling at the sight of them;
colors jumbled together without the
least regard to harmony; blondes
wearing flaming red and bright vel
low; short dresses on awfully long
girls; fluffy looking girls made fluff
fer by means of ruflies, flounces and
frills; colors so loud that an Indian
wouldn't wear them to war dance;
rings on the outside of gloves (gen-
orally brass rings); lovers walking
arm-in arm in broad daylight; men
with broadcloth coats and their
trousers in their boots; blue faced
girls with green ribbons on their
hats; faces with flour enough on
them TO start bakery; white dress
es trimmed around the waist with
genuine finger marks; and everybody
as happy as pig in high clover.
On last Commencement day | say a
very interesting young couple walk
ing towards the University. The
pavement must have looked very mar
row to them, or they were very cold,
for they were fearfully close together.
His right arm was extended toward
the east and her left arm shot out
toward the west, and one heart could
have done very well for both of them,
but each seemed to have lost that
organ.
