Receiving General Attention.
Mar iRSJurg Statesman.

The project to get up boom for West
Virginia by means Of 8 State convention TO
be held in Wheeling on the 18th inst. Is
receiving much attention throughout the
State. A duty rests upon each individual
to do what lies in his power for the general
good, and self interest dictates that every
county should make a well-organizsd effort
to present whatever advantages it may
possess for the investment Of capital. The
Wheeling papers are exhibiting a great
deal Of energy in bringing the enterprise
to successful and beneficial issue.

Tell the Plain Truth.

In booming the State let the boomers"
tell the plain truth. All that is necessary
IS to let the outside world know of Our
resources-just what we hsve-and the
State will take an upward turn at once
1t is eT1irely unnecessary TO adopt the sx-
trsvsgant style that has disgraced so many
western sections and really done them no
good. Tell nothing but the facts, and
when people are once attracted here they
will stay with us.

ATTEMPTED Incendiarism.

On Monday night some one attempted tc
set fire to the Times Office in this place. The
attempt was made at the east end of the
building, outside. Being just opposite the
dwelling of Mrs. Richardson, the nilliner,
some of her family discovery the blaze, and
her son Ernest extinguished it. Soon after.
ward he saw the would-be incendiary rush
back and endeavor to rekindle the blaze,
but took the alarm and fed, the young man
following, but failed to recognize the vii
lain. A small quantity of cedar chips was
where the fire was started, and bottle
which had contained coal oil. Take it al.
together it was most singular affair. II
would have been difficult to fire the building
ct the point selected, which being right op'
posite the windows of Mrs. Richardson's
residence, detection before it got under
way would have been inevitable. The cool
audscity of the scoundrel was much more
conspicuous than his skill in getting in his
work, while his motive is incomprehensible.
1t was first thought he would readily be de-
tsoted, but up to this writing no arrests
have been made. We hope to hear of his
being caught and made an example of to the
extent of the law.

In opening the beautiful December Mag,
azine Of American History the eye first rests
upon the Rembrandt Peale portraits OF
George and Martha Washington, contribut-
ed by Miss Stokes, gems, in their way, SD
perbly engraved, and Of surprising interest
now that it is so unusual to discover unpub-
lished portraits of our first president. 1.-THE

his Country" Among the short contriou-
lions is one from Katherine Armstrong, of
London, England on 1.-THE Anglo-Ameri-
CANS" an unpublished letter by 8. r.. NAL
