HOW TO SELL PROPERTY.

One OF the most successful and
auctioneers in this State
is Henry Irwin, Il witty Eastern
Shore Irishman, whose reputation
is not confined within the bounds of
his visits in crying sales. The genial
auctioneer has observed that in or.
der to make property sell well these
rules must be carried out: First.
advertise the schedule of articles aud
date of sale in a newspaper which
the people read for the interesting
news it contains. and also by hand.
bills neatly printed and judicial.
ly posted to meet the public eve.
Secondly, a person making the sale, if
for himself, should have little to do
with it while the sale is in progress.
1t the owner stands around and di.
rects the sale, would-be buyers will
get the impression that he is going
to bid in everything that he might
think does not fetch enough, and so
where there are no bargains in pros.
pect the people won't buy at ALL
The truth of this will be apparent to
those who recall the fact that a de-
ceased owners estate. sold by an adj
ministrator or executor, invariably
commands better prices at public
auction than the same kind of prop
erty does if sold by the owner him.
selfg Many persons have failed to
learn this truth, so plain that every
observing person must have It prov.
en- to him. All that is essential is
judicious advertising in the columns
of good newspaper.-Pa. Er.
The auctioneers nearly all agree
that The HERALD prints the most
attractive sale bills in Berkeley
County and at the lowest prices. A
sale advertised in THE HERALD
will be known all over this and adj.
joining counties. If you intend to
make sale this Spring, you can save
money aud have the neatest bills and
best advertising by calling early at
THE MARTINSBURG HERALD office.

GREAT HOPE In UTAH.

A friend sends us copy of the
Salt Lake City Daily Tribune, which
gives the assurance that the liberal
people of Utah are looking for
ward to a final settlement of the
Mormon question and the admission
of their State into the Union. A
large and enthusiastic meeting was
held last week, as a public demon.
stration over Harrison's election,
which is given as a national sign
that Utah will take her place among
the States, with the vexed Mormon
question forever settled.
Utah has the population, wealth
and enterprise to make her rank
first among the Rocky Mountain
States, but the fear of Mormon pow
cr has stood IN the way of all her
hopes. The feeling now is that the
dangers are past and that Utah will
take full part in the next Presiden-
tial election.

DIsC0URAGING FOR FRANCE.

1t has now been satisfactorily eS.
tabllshed by series of observations
made throughout France since 1884
by means of the Genie Corps, under
selected officers, that what is called a
secular depression is taking place
from south toward the north, partic.
ularly towards the northeast.
The depression is about three
times greater toward the north.
east than it is due north. 1t is cal.
culated that, ifthe rate Of depression
should continue, France in a few
centuries will encounter calamity
similar to that which at the end of
the thirteenth century befell the
Netherlands. The prospect is not
pleasant for France.

HURRAH FOR WEST VIRGINIA.

Col. I. D. Mussey is tickled over
the news from West Virginia and
breaks out in gleeful rejoicing as fol-
lows:
= AS for West Virginia she is the
most famous Commonwealth in
the country today. Considering
the many months that l have cam
paigned among her hills and valleys
for the Commercial Gazette, and in
beb alt of the Republican party and
its principles, may be pardoned for
feeling in her victory sense of per-
sonal pleasure and exultation. l
knew it would come. 1t almost
came in the last election, lacking but
Il few votes of putting her into the
northern line at that time. There
are no Republicans in the country
like the fighting Republicans OF
West Virginia. They never rest I;
they never quit; they never get tired,
scared Or discouraged. In fighting
their battles they have that quick,
prompt and always ready gallantry
that Napoleon used to call the az
O'Clock in the morning courage"

BIBLICAL HISTORY.
AS APPLIED TO THE POLITICAL SIT.
UATIoN IN WEST VIRGINIA.
THE TRIBES OF BENJAMIN AND LIE
vi WILL POSSESS THE STATE.
EVEN AS THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL
OBTAINED COMPLETE POSSESSION
OF THE PROMISED LAND.

A correspondent OF the Com. Ga
Sette writing from Clarksburg, says;
"In the book of Joshua is record
ed the history Of how tedious and
difficult struggle it was for the
children of Israel to obtain the Gland
Of promise For years aud years
they had laboTed aud toiled ia order
to obtain Canaan, the land that flow.
ed with milk and honey. After hay.
ing captured Jericho, some Of them
thought that they were now entitled
to the possession Of the Holy Land,
but alas, their struggles were by no
means ended. Sacred history re.
cords defeat at Al shortly after the
walls of Jerico fell. By faith they
at last obtained complete possession,
and the book of Joshua says that at
last the war was over and the land
divided but there was long delay,
after the conquest, before all the
tribes took possession Of their inner
itance. We are told that north Of
Judea, Benjamin was on the west
and the tribe OF Levi on the east,
and that this fact fred them with
new heat and determination, and
they finally obtained complete pos
session.
History Is repeating Itself, and at
this very moment is recorded like
condition in West Virginia, political.
ly speaking. The Republican party
have been promised the State OF
West Virginia, and by their faith the
walls OF democracy have fallen; but
they are told they can't have com.
plete possession, and the official re-
turns are being doctored so as to
cheat them ont Of it. Bat, bless you
the tribe of BENJAMIN (Harrison) is
on the west and the tribe OF Levi Is
on the east, and no power on earth
can take from them what Tightfnlly
and honestly belongs to them. As
sure as two and two make fonr, 50
sure is General Nathan Golf, the
Joshua of the Republican party IN
the South, the GOvernOr-elecf.

AUNT CHARITY ELIMINATES.
BY MRS. T. R. JONES.


From the Atlanta Constitution.
jes want to be religious,
In along wild all de rest,
And iine de church, and be baptized,
And forever more be blest.
But I'll declare to goodness,
/ am fiustercated so,
Dat am all mixed up and pestered,
And / don t know where to go.
First the Presbyterians tell me
Not to kick up a row,
If de Lawd is gwine to save me,
He will do it anyhow;
Hits no use to make racket.
Err to holler, err to cry;
Dat when the ship of Zion
Comes a-sailin' grandly by.
If rs been pretesternated,n
And is one of de elect,
Dat dey II reach way down and grab me,
And den hist me on the deck;
And dat when / gets good started.
Is to keep right on de way,
Fer l I'll never cross de ocean,
If starts new, every day.
Den de Baptists next, dey gifts me
And dey takes me to de pool,
And dey say to me, Now, Charity,
Don't you go and be fool,
You fly your conscience,
And be sure you do what's right
You go into dat water, child
Clean under-out er sight;
Den come along and 'mune wild us,
And peace and comfort find.n
But fought I'd see de Mefodis.s,
Fore / made up all my mind.
Den the Mefodists, dey take me
10 the new bush arbor tent,
And day puts me wild de moaners
Fer to weep and to repent.
and dey tells me when rs happy,
Jes to let it pop right out:
Not to be feared OBJ no one
But turn right loose and shout.
Den part on 'em dey tells me,
When does climb into grace,
must cling dar like turkle,
Err I'll fall down from my place
Den some say dat dey wouldn' sin,
Not even if they could
And right smart un EN- couldn't
Not even if they would,
But does de family washin
Fer man dats sanctified,
And his wife makes all de fires,
And splits all the wood besides.
SO goes home to my cabin,
And falls down on my knees,
And raise my hands to heav'n,
And asks de Master please
To forgive me for de many
And de wicked tings done,
And to overlook my meanness
Fer de sake of His dear Son.
And tells de heav ,mly Fader
Dat don t know nothin bout,
Dere lections, and dere 'mersions
And dere fallins in and out
Den it seemed all in a minute,
Dat de load was took away:
And | felt all good and easy
And heerd soft voice say
" Charity, poor old cretur,
Don't you bodder your old head
Wild dere creeds, belief, and doctrines,
But jest look to me instead,
And dough your sins be scarlet,
And, your skin black as coal,
Your Savior who redeemed you,
