FELLOW CITIZENS OF WHEELING-To

magnificent audience here this evening
would but very poorly express my feelings
on this occasion. ] know aud feel that it
lays me under deeper obligations as an ex-
preston of that unbroken kindness which
You, the people of Wheeling, have always
shown me. Bet great as is my private
satisfaction on the contemplation of this
vast audience, it fades and sinks into in
significance at the satisfaction and pride i
feel as Democrat at finding so many
voters willing to come out ard listen 10 80

myself. This great demonstration
makes it plain to my mind that
the questions between the two po-
lit;cal parties that are struggling for
the mastery to-day are questions that
come home TO every man in this broad land.
II is demonstration thai the people recog-
uize that the affairs Of this government
have been honestly and judiciously con-
Quoted during the past four years. And Is
further demonstration that they propose
20 continue to see them 80 conducted, uu-
der sEd through the management OF the
Democratic party. Cheers
REPUBLICAN PROPHEsIEs FAIsIFIED.
| NAV congratulate you this evening,

and industries of every description would

the business done this summer and the
summer four years ago. Tell him that
business has not tagged more than was made
necessary by the uni ust and oppressive
burdens of war taxation. Ask him, and
he will find that the fires of our manufae-
turing establishments are still burning.
Neu industries have been started. New

baby in her arms she was taken to the almshouse. Parted from her children, worse than widowed, without home, health or money, powerless to break her opium chains, exhausted physically, mentally, spiritually, groping for, but not touching the hand of God, she lay upon her bed. The almshouse physician came and sat down beside her. For moment he look ed at her, then came the question, "Do you know why you have been sent here ?"
 Her response was a heavy, far-away look, with scarcely the shadow of an ln- uuiry in it. He went on "They have sent you here to die. It is the city physi- clans who have done it. They did not want you to die on their hands. They thought it would be no detriment to me to lose you, as I am only a country doctor. " Very slowly, but very firmly came her answer:
 "I would rather die than live slave to opium"
 Hopefully, smilingly the doctor replied i: ''If you feel that way, I think you aud l together, with the help of God, can effect a cure"
 Who shall attempt description of the struggle of the next few weeks The doc tors plan was to give her three doses of opium day, each dose containing less amount of opium than the one preceding it.
 ''I did very we'll in the day time, " said Mrs. Victor; "my appetite for food came to me after the first few days, and could eat, and drank good deal of strong cof- fee the doctor sympathized with me, en- outraged and fattered me, told me how brave was, how worthy to be cured. l can look back now" (with merry twinkle of the eye) land see it was flttery, but then was so weak in mind and body that ] his commentators pleased me, and brought strength to me through the day, but the nights When I fell asleep how 1 would dream of 1t, long for it, seem to see the bot tie standing on the muntel-pi ce, and wake up with start, my arm Outstretched, try ing to reach 1t.
 For six weeks the doctor gave her the three daily diminishing doses. The las one was so weak she laughed as she took it into her hand, saying, Doctor, this if all nonsense. shall not take it; even i it were a full dose, should not care fol it, and she poured it out upon the ground
 Said the doctor, "You are cured P
 But such was her terror of a relapse tha she remained six weeks longer in the aims honse. "Then," said she, "I had no fear all the horror of again falling into slavery worse thousand fold than that of tht southern negroes used to be, vanished Once more she came back into the world Her right hand was in the hand of God in her left she held the certificate of he physician that she was cured of her habi of opium eating.
 That was fifteen years ago. She hal never had a relapse, but whenever she ha: had occasion for the services of q physi elan, she has said, ''Do not give me any thing that has opium in it."

"Tipping'' Evil in London.

In spite of all that has been said about the tipping" evil in London, I maintain that it is not half the scourge in England that it is on the continent of Europe, and that it is rapidly becoming on the continent of Amer ica- Walters at English hotel tables do not have it in their power to give patrons of the house bad food, because they are not well tipped. When a charge for attendance is made in the bill at hotels or in restaurants, one is quite within ones right to go away from the place without tipping any servant whatsoever. London cabmen never expect, and as far as know, never get, any tips Ask cabman what his fare is, if you do not know yourself, and he will probably not ex- aggerate his fare beyond paltry sixpence, and more probably still, he will tell you the exact truth Cabbage" is dear when you indulge in lot of it, of course; still, there are the omnibuses of London, the finest of any metropolis, where the fare is one penny So you can take your choice between penny and shilling modes of conveyance.-Olive Logan in Kansas City Journal.

The Burden of Ancestry.

Sometimes think it would have been bet ter for all hands if we had never had any an- cestors nor any precedents prior to the year 1789. Of what consequence were the old Dutch ancestors of New York compared to Dewitt Clinton, who laid out the Erie canal and pressed it's execution upon a compara- lively poor commonwealth? Of what conse- quence were the so called Pilgrim Fathers of New York compared to the men who started the Croton aqueduct, without which this island could never have grown to the popula- tion it has? How much more we owe to the first founders of our great public cemeteries than to the founders of the little churchyards which would otherwise have been, as in Lon don, overpacked at the present day with superabundant dead2 Sometimes I think we will owe quite as much to that generation or leader who will wipe th0 cemeteries out, and turn their monuments and headstOnes into some useful architecture for the living. To put the old mold of a discharged man under a $50, 900 monument is as near idolatry as the Greeks and Romans ever got, and have never heard of but two cases where Q useful man slipped into 8 rich mans tomb by way of charity, the first being in the case of Jo- seph of Arimathea, and the next that of Robert Fulton, who was slided into the Liv- ingston tomb, but he was a connection of that emigrant family.
 If you notice our youngest American states, they get along much smoother than our oldest states. See how Kansas is grow ing, without any forefathers, and see how South Carolina is grooming under it's old planter oligarchy? See how readily Minne- sota reaches out her antennee to the Sault St. Marie, to Duluth, to Manitoba, to Dakota and to everywhere, having, it is said, five railroads to Chicago whereas the huildino of the Boston and Albany railroad and the consolidating of the Pennsylvania and New York Central lines were done as if nothing of that kind had ever been done before or could be done again. Why is it that Boston and New York are connected by single corporation, when Buffalo and New York are connected by half a dozen corpora tions? Precedents sit upon the head of the living age.

MEN WHO BUY GREEN GOODS.

Agricultural America in the Metropolis.
 Blowing Out the Gas.
 Of the thousands of countrymen who conae to New York to buy "green goods,n it is thought very large percentage perish by blowing out the gas in their rooms at the hotels. Some of them, however, are known to survive the gas ordeal and for the instruc- tion of these a few of the Bowery inns, much frequented by this class of custom, display the most unique and absurd signs.
 One of the most common mistakes made by the granger giving himself a bath is to forget to turn off the water when the tub is full. A good many floods, disastrous to the property and temper of the host have resulted from this omission, and to prevent it a sign is placed in the bathroom reading: "PleaSe turn the water off when the tub is full, or the bath will run over." In spite of this tribute to the intelligence of agricultural America, printed as it often is in six line pica type, there are good many bathrooms devastated every year by overfows.
 Another common blunder is itself due to a sign reading: Clock your door on retir- ing" The antidote to this is another sign to tae effect: "But do not hide the key" Coun- trymen do not understand the art of locking their room doors, but in a city hotel they are so afraid of thieves that they always attempt
 
 After locking themselves in they conceal the key so that it cannot possibly be found by the burglars outside. Next morning the granger cannot find it himself, and he is caught in his own trap. Reports have been made of forgotten grangers thus imprisoned remaining in their rooms for days, afraid to move because they thought they were in 8 bunco house and in danger of their lives if they screamed.
 The sign, 'The porters will handle guests baggage" ," is to quiet the fears of the country man. As soon as he has registered the polite bell boy seizes his gripsack to convey it to his room. The wary guest thinks he is in the clutches of highwayman, and sometimes the bell boy does not secure the baggage until he has had desperate struggle for it. The sign, No extra charge for the elevator" |" is to prevent the guests from walking up stairs. A similarity of names makes the famer confuse the elevator with the elevated railway, on which he knows a fare of five cents is exacted. A few people think that the elevator is unsafe anyway, and conse- quently, when heavenward bound, they use the staircase, though they have confidence enough in the lift" to come down in it.
 A well known sign is this: Guests can with safety leave theft baggage in the rooms, provided they lock the doors" This has a good effect. It is designed to prevent folks from dragging their trunks and portman- teaus down stairs, and piling the articles around them each time they go to take a meal. The individuality of a green country man and his valise is proverbial. It is often nuisance to the boniface. Some guests of this stripe insist on being present when their rooms are being arranged and their beds made, to prevent the chambermaid from picking and stealing from their effects New York Press.

How to select a wife.

Good health, good morals, good sense and good tempter, are the four essentials for 8 good wife. These are the indispensibles.
