Ex-senator Camden is pushing
his new railroad along. The first
passenger train was run over the
Fairmont and Shinnston section of
the Monongahela River Railroad
Thursday last. A large excursion
party, including Mr.. Camden, tho
President of the road, Senator Cor
man, of Maryland, and Vice Presi-
dent G. L. Lord, of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, went over the
completed section. Hundreds of
coke ovens are already in operation
along the line of the road. The
road is graded almost to the limits
of Clarksburg, the county seat of
Harrison county, and work is being
pushed at rapid rate. In a few
days the traclSlayers will begin work
above Shinnston, and the road will
be extended into Clarksburg as fast
as the rails can be put down. At
Clarksburg the new road viii con-
meet with the Clarksburg and Wes-
ton road, which will be broadened
and pushed ou to Braxton Court
House. When this work is done
the road will have cut through the
very heart of West Virginia and
pierced its richest territory. The
ultimate terminus of such a line
must be Charleston, and when COM
pleted no enterprise ever undertake
en- will have done more for the de-
velopment and industrial growth of
West Virginia.-Hunttngto Adper-

An Editor Loose.

This is the way the editor feels
whenshei does up his sentiment in
bland verse: 9i4as
@I would flee from the city's rule
and law-from its fashions and forms
cut loose-and go where the straw
berry grows on its straw, and the
gooseberry grows on it's goose;
where the catnip tree is climbed by
the cat as she clutches for her prey
the guileless and unsuspccting rat
or the rattan bush at play; 1 will
catch at ease the saffron COW and the
cowlet in their glee, as they leap in
joy from bough to bough on the top
ola cowslip tree; and list while the
partridge drums his drum and the
woodchuck chucks his wood, and che
dog deyours the dogwood plum in
the primitive solitude.
"Oh, let me drink from the moss
grown pump, that was hewn from
the pumpkin treel Eat mush and
milk from rural stump; from folly
and fashion free-new gathered
mush from a mushroom vine, and
milk from the milkweed sweet
with pineapple from the pine. And
then to the whitewashed dairy I'll
turn, where the dairymaid hasten
ing HES, her ruddY and golden-red
butter to churn from the milk of
her butterflies; and I'll rise at morn
with the earliest bird, TO the fra
grant farmyard pass, and watch
while the farmer turns his herd of
grasshoppers out to grass Pacific

Evidences of the durability of
yellow pine for flooring occasionally
come to notice, says the Northwest
ern Lumberman. One is an in
stance in which saw manufactur-
ing concern five years ago put a
long leaf pine floor in its factory.
1t is as sound now as when put
down. The manager of the con-
Germ declares that if white pine had
been used it would not have lasted
moro than year ON account of the
wear of constantly rolling saws over
it, the teeth cutting into the soft
wood.

The stars i'm our EsIag.

An English gentleman, who
seems to be so far blackslider from
the traditions of his race as to find
the American flag a matter of serious
interest, has lately been investigat-
ing the subject with some curious re-
suits On visit TO the church at
Brington, near Althrop, the parish
clerk called attention to the memor.
ial brass plate Of the Washingtons,
bearing the arms of the family, the
stars and stripes. Further search
discovered other brasses on the
tombs of different members of the
family, as far back as 1860, all bear:
ing the same design-stars and
stripes.
When George Washington, who
was the great grandfather of our
George . emigrated to America, the
family shield and crest were not for
gotten. In course of time the great
Washington of Virginia came to
bear this emblem in many ways
about his person. There were two
watch seals, and a book mark, and
the design, too, was blazed on the
panels of his carriage. No item
was omitted-the red bars, the five
pointed stars and the raven issuant
out of the ducal ,oronet, were all
there.
This seal is still seen attached to
the commission of some of the of.
ficers of the Army of Independence.
What could be more natural than
that the family coat-ofarms Of
George Washington should be adopt.
ed as the national emblem by the
country he had served2
But one curious fact is, that what
we call stars were not originally in
tended as such; but were simply
meant to represent the rowels OF
spurs, or, as they are termed in the
parlance of heraldry, "mulIets;" and
the bird that suggested the spread
eagle was, in the original, simply a
raven issuing out of ducal coronet;
''issuant" is the heraldic term, or as
we would say in Yankee land, "on
the rise" The whole concern has
been on the rise ever since; the
rowels of war have already been
transformed into stars of peace, and
although the eagle allowed the ducal
coronet to fall from its talons at the
first flap, we Americans are proudly
confident that our glorious bird will
continue its upward course until it
reaches the sun.-Ireasure Trope.
