Contn1iOn In Courts.

Tho state analyst of New Jersey, in a
recent trial, when called upon TO take an
o2th as witness, avoided kissing the
Biblc on the ground that he might con-
tract disease by . doing, saying: 80
many different persons lavo kissed that
book that l do not think it safe 10 touch
my lips to it," Tho court held that the
witness must kiss the book, and he re-
luctantly did so. This seems like Il tri-
fling matter, and yctitmight be a serious
one. The danger of contracting disease
in this way is not imaginary. Until
courts so disinfcct the Bible on which
oatlls arc taken as TO make the act of
kissing it safe, we would advise the prac-
ticing Of . device which tic writer has

Origin of Two Noted HYMNS.

Speaking Of these two hymns the story
told about their origin may not be true,
but is quite i'll keeping with tho charac.
ter of the two authors, Toplady and
Charles Wesley. They lived in the Same
town, the story relates, and wore warm
friends. One day, however, they quar-
relied, and for some time did rot even
speak. But such earnest Christians could
not long remain III his state. and so they
began to think of a reconciliation. 1t so
happened that they both spent the same
night in meditation and prayer over this
matter, and each came to the conclusion
that the best way to bring about Il recon
ciliation would be 10 write a hvmn to
present to his friend. Toward morning
Il white dove dashed against T~oplady's
window several times, and tho words OF
his immortal hymn Rock of Ages"
came 10 him.
During the amc night Charles Wesley
had also written 4 hymn which iSCuually
celebrated. Jesus, Lover Of Ny Soul
In the morning, as they could not find
messengers II carry their messages of
amity, th"y set out to deliver them III per
son. And SO they mel on the street. an&
the unhappy quarrel WAS healed. This
story IL. perhaps, too symmetrical and
dramatic t. ho entirely trIv. bat it is one
of those things that might be true, be-
cause II keeping with the deep vet sim
pie natures of the men. SUSh men do
not flourish III this Gtrilcnt, raucous,
garish age; and this explains why SO few
great hymns arc now written. But then
tho world docs not hunger for hymns
as it nce did. so much the worse for
the world, perhaps. New York Tribune.

Hunting With Dogs.

TB. Wilson in September 81. Nicholas.
All hounds save the greyhound run en-
tirely by scent. When they come upon
the faint scent Of track they will work
along it until it grows freshsr, and then
begin to bay or give tongue" There is
always q correspondence between the bay
ing and the trail. An experienced hunter
can tell by the bsying not only where the
dog is, but by the frequency and conf
dence of the sound how fresh the
trail is-that is, how close upon his game
the dog is. All hunted animals have
q way Of doubling or running in circles.
Hence, if hunter observes by the bsying
that his dog is going away from him, he
waits patiently, sometimes for hours, IN
til the circle is made, and be hears the
dog approaching. Then he is on the alert
for shot, for the game is probably not
many rods in advance of the dog.
A hound is seldom loet. His nose is his
compass. Whenever he pleases he can
take up his masters track and find him,
or he can retrsce his own steps home
ward
Dogs do not seem to erjry those odors
that please Us. A dog viii turn away dis
appointed and Indifferent from the finest
of perfumes. Except the scent of those
thirgs which he would like to eat. / have
never found anything that seemed to de.
light dogs sense Of smell.

The "Register" Now Makes the Forfeit

A few days since the REGISTER publish
ed statement about Mr.. Mahlon Chance
and a challenge to any one who doubted
that it could produce its authority for the
statement. This morning we reiterate and
repeat that challenge.
II the REGISTER cannot produce the
manufacturer TO whom Mr.. Chance made
the statement that "while some schedules
might be wrong, the reductions proposed
by the Mills bill were all right, but we
(meaniug the Repubiicaus) want to make
that reduction, " then it will forfeit 500 to
the charitable institutions Of Wheeling
On the other hand, if it can
produce this manufacturer, then
the opposing parties sre to
forfeit like amount. Money talks. Will
Mr.. Chance or his friends accept the chsl-
lenge? The REGISTERS authority Is an
honorable, upright gentleman. If any one
wants to test the quality of his steel they
have an opportunity. Perhaps the too
talkatiye Mr. Chance would like o go at
him?
II the meanwhile we reiterate that Mr..
Mahlon Chance, an agent of the Republic
can National Committee, in private con-
versation to manufacturer of this vicin-
ity, admitted that the Mills bill was a
good measure. But Republicans didn't
want Democrats to have the credit of pass
ing it. Where are you, Mr., Chance?

Duties should be so high that our manufacturers

and regulate the price as they please. This is

ArthUr's Message Of 1882.
"By this law the tariff of 1851 the duties were

"Eyery advance toward free exchange of
commodities is an advance in civilization; every
obstruction to free exchange is born Of the
same narrow, despotic spirit which planted cas-
ties upon the Rhine to plumber peaceful com.
merce every obstruction to commerce is tax
upon consumption; every facility to free ex-
change cheapens commodities, increases trade
ard production, and promotes civilization.
Nothing is worse than sectionalism within a ma
ton, and nothing is better for the peace OF ma
tons than unrestricted freedom of commerce
and intercourse with each other."-Jokn Sher-
man.
"A substantial reduction of tariff duties is de-
manded, not by mere indiscriminste popular
lamor, but by the best conservative opinion Of
the country, including that which has In former
times been most strenuous for the preservation Of
our national industrial defense Such a reduc-
ton of the existing tariff the Commission regards
not only as due recognition of public senti-
ment and a measure of justice TO consumers, but
ne conducive TO the general industrial prospe
ity, and which, though it may be temporarily
announcement, will be ultimately beneficial to
the special interests affected by such reduction"

BOLD BIRDIE.

Editor HART, who Is going about where
ever the Republican committees, will re-
csive him, giving exhibitions of daring on
the tariff horizontal bar, does some bold
acts sometimes. But Of course Editor
BIRDIE is bold man. There is probably
not smother performer in BIRDIE's line
half so bold.
It is doubtful whether there is another
man in the world who would go about ex-
hibiting suit Of clothes as wool when the
manufacturer who made the suit declares
it is shO Idly and does not contain an ounce
Of wool
Il is q suit worth about 81 or S., and
were oar manufacturers allowed by the
tariff to use wool instead of old rsgs Mr..
BIRDIE HARr's suit would sell at those
figures instead of $40 or Sill, at which It
sells now; or, what is better still, it would
probably not be manufactured at all-for
good woolen clothing would be SO cheap
thai there would be no sale for clothes
made of old raga, such as our bold young
friend is psradipg around the district,
under TIE impression that he is deludiug
the people.
Editor HART was at Sistersville the
other day, parsdiDg his choice collection
of tinware and old clothes.
Il is understood that the populace mis-
took BIRDIE for street fakir with pat
emit can-opener or something of that sort
for sale.
He writes up to the Inteligeneer about
what beautiful speech he made and what
a generally forcible and brilliant speaker
'tMr. HART" is. After plastering himself
all over with compliments, he bsgan on
his So suit, and swore by all that was holy
that it was all wool and cheaper than any
thing England ever saw-forgetting that
We have high tariff on clothing to PRO
tect us from the cheap pauper clothing Of
Europe"
ne sctuIcN buC tSutAihOhJ Va oO'SAA
woolen mill men at Sistersville that biz So
suit was wool.
Now, we have only tosay this about the
matter: That we have the testimony of
toe manufacturer of the suit, himself, that
there is no wool in it and nothing but
shoddy. And if the gentleman at Sisters
vile were shown piece of cloth that did
Contain wool it was not E iitor HART's So
suit. That is made of old rags that have
doubtless come back to the mill half
dozen times, and when. worn ont again
will again go back and be made into cloth.
Editor HART doesn't know who wore that
suit. last in the shape Of rags, or out Of
what CUTTERS and ssh-barrels it was picked
by an Italian gentleman with stick with
hook on the end of it. And BIRDIE
doesn't seem to care, although he may be
counting disease by wearing il.
As We before remarked, BIRDIE ia bold
mar.
