One of our western exchanges says
that a practical revivalist requested
all in the congregation who paid their
debts to rise. The rising was general.
After they had taken their seats, a
call was made for those who didn't
pay their debts, and one solitary in
|dividual arose, who explained that he
WAS an editor, and could not pay be-
cause the rest of the congregation
were owing hun their subscription to
his paper.
Well bet half of that congregation
were small.fry politicians.
AN OLD AND VALUABLE Book
Last Tuesday we had pleasant call
from Messrs. Geo. w. and VIM. Fl.
Seibert, ofKearneysville, who showed
US real curiosity in the shape of
IS Bailey's Dictionary" large vol
ume published in London in 1865, and
which is consequently 1873 years old.
Notwithstanding its great aye, the
book is full and complete, with not Il
page missing and not a leaf torn. 1t
is bound in heavy board covers, and
the quaint old type show as clear as
if they were printed yesterday. The
book once belonged to the Duke of
Sussex, and at sale of his effects was
bought by New York draler, who In
turn sold 1t TO a book seller at Win
chester, Va, from whom 1t was pur-
chased by Mr.. Coburn, who gave it to
his daughter, Mrs. VIM. FL. Seibert,
and that lady now owns it. 1t is a
remarkably fine book, and its state of
preservation is wonderful. The Messrs.
Seibert also showed us some other
very ancient papers, among them be-
ing two deeds granted by Lord Fair
fax in 1852 and 1850, which are still
perfectly legible.
WEDDING AT HARPER's FERRY
The wedding of Mr.. J. Calvin Tabler,
of Dnffields, and Miss Gertrude Yam
It's, daughter Of S. V. Yantis, Esq.
was celebrated in the M. P. Church at
Harper's Ferry on Wednesday after
noon. The church was completely
filed with the friends of the contract
ing parties, who had come from every
part of the county. At three O'Clock
the wedding march skillfully executed
by Miss Daisy Yantis, announced the
approach of the wedding party. The
four ushers, DR.. Howard Moore, and
Messrs. Lewis Halling, Arnold Van
tbs and William Irwin, came first, and
following them came the bride ami
groom. Arrived at the altar, the cere-
tn0ny was solemnly conducted by
Rev. j. Stewart, of Maryland, assisted
by Rev. l.. r. Dyatt. The bride and
groom then proceeded to the home of
Mr.. Yantis, where many persons
called and rendered their congratula-
tions. The bride was most becoming
ly attired in handsome dress ofruby
plush, while the groom looked well in
the conventional black. Many hand
some presents were received by the
bride, among them being gold watch
from the groom, silverware, and
many other things useful and orna-
mental. Owing to recent severe ILL.,
ness of Mr.. Taller, an extensive we'd
ding tour had to be abandoned, 20 tne
happy couple will settle down at once
in a very pleasant home in Duffieid-.
We join their numerous friends in
wishing them many years of happi
ness together.

cleveland.s Absurd Figuring.

Is right, how Is it to be donef The duties
on sugar and molasses yielded during the
last fiscal year SIS, 004, 358 50. The du-
ties on liquors, tobacco, fancy articles,
jewelry, watches and clocks, opium pre-
pared for smoking, laces and embroider-
les, ribbons and other manufactures of
silk yielded last year $39, 522, 1913. 49, These
duties on Injuries, the president holds,
should be retained. Deducting these and
the sugar duties from $212, 032, 423 90, the
entire revenue derived from the tariff last
year, there remains only STA, sos, 751. IS
obtained from the duties on all raw ma
teriafs and manufactured goods-on all
other dutiable articles, in short. From
these the presidents theory, If 1t is not ig-
norant or fraudulent, would require over
500, 000, 600 to be taken Of In order to
retain all internal taxes, duties on sugar
and on luxuries.
Either this theory is right or 1t Is
wrong-whichs Either substantially all
the duties on materials and manufactured
articles ought to be repealed and absolute
free trade permitted In oil articles except
the few above named or the president has
grossly erred. There Ia not q single mem
Der OF congress who has at any time been
willing TO vote FOR the abolition Of all du-
ties on manufactured products. The pres
ident himself demonstrates his own ig-
norance when he says in his message that
a reduction ''of the advantages which we
award our home production may be nee
essary, but "the entire withdrawal OF
such advantages should not be contem-
plated" Plainly he does not know what
he has proposed. His recommendation
WIS rather ignorant than deceptive in in
tent. But its Ignorance and absurdity do
not make it more worthy Of being fol-
lowed by the people. New York Tribune.

TIoN.-Last Friday Mr.. John j..
Ko0ntz, of this county, created a sem
-atiOn in the House of Delegates By
'ffering the following propos resolu-
ton:
WHEREAS, 1t was asserted by a
member of this House, in advocating
the resolution indorsing President
Cleveland's administration, that the
Democratic party contained seven
tenths of the wealth of this body end
nine and three-quarter tenths of the
brains; therefore be ii
Resolved, That as this House con-
tains only twenty Republican mem
hers, and each member according to
the statement laid down by the Demo-
cratic party is in possession of but one
two .hundredth part of the brains,
therefore the Republican members,
severally and collectively, ought not
to be held responsible for any of the
unusual amount of bad legislation
done by this body"
The resolution passed to a second
reading and was tabled.-Hagerstoac7l
