least ninety thousand are bOlllngly IN
dignant concerning the showing made
there by the United States. The other
ten thousand are dudes who are rather
pleased than otherwise that England,
Denmark, Algers, Cape Colony, Patagonia
and other powers of more or less Importance
should completely overshadow the United
States. We have the satisfaction Of know
ing that this National disgrace is our own
fault, and we are obliged to find what solace
we can in blowing about what we will do in
1892. That is pretty cold comfort, however,
to my notion. The stay-athome foreigner
has made his comparisons OF the Industries
of the United States and other countries as
they are represented at Paris, and he is not
intending to be present at our exhibition in
1892 in any large way.
We have in Paris the most representative
and complete exhibit Of patent hair re-
storers, pills, liniments and corn eradi-
Gators ever laid eyes on. Outside Of
patent medicines the United States section
resembles nothing SO much as the fve-cent
notion counter OF cross roads country
store. With such an exhibit Of our National
industries, we can hardly blame the for
eigner who cherishes the idea that Brother
Jonathan is whiting individual much
afflicted with biliOusnesS and kindred COM
plants. The electrical exhibit, which is al
most the only creditable thing we have
over there, is of in department by itself
and consequently does not reflect any direct
credit upon the United States.
1t is not pleasant to feel that we have
sent one hundred thousand of our people to
the other side of the water this summer, and
that they have left on an average one
thousand dollars apiece in good United
States money over there, and that We are
thought nation of petty, money-grubbing
wind-bags for our pains. We can hardly
make Europeans, with the intense pride of
country, understand that nationally we do
not take much interest in any thing unless
there is a grab in it. That our practical
politics are not conducted with any special
idea of lettering the country, but tnat
patronage is the main feature Of our
political system. 1t is useless to attempt to
give the Englishman whose longest rail-
way journey has been from London to
Glasgow, a matter of eight or nine hours,
q conception of the immense resources Of a
country so broad that it takes six days to
cross it by rail.
On the other hand, the chances are that
the Englishman finds out that London has a
population equal to the entire State of New
York, and he gauges his notion of the area
of the Empire State on that basis. We may
assure the Frenchman that if our State of
Texas was a lake and his beloved France an
island in the middle Of it he would not be
able to see the main land from any point on
his shore. He would probably retort that
he had no desire to see a land whose only
industries were the manufacture of patent
medicines, knickknacks and boosters.
And after all we can't blame the stay-at-
home foreigner for the estimate he forms
of us. We do not show at our best on the
other side of the water. That contingent of
American travellers who parade their Ameri-

"a la Schliemann' in B9otia for the

the "Apollo Of the Internal Regions"
which presents the Roman tyrant in
another light. The stone has engraved

How Cats Cling 10 Life.

A few days ago IA New Haven citi-
zen discovered that he was the owner
Of five young kittens, which the
mother had carefully secHeted in an
empty sugar barrel. A few hours
after making this discovery he found
that lac had money enough TO buy a
bushel Of potatoes, and he accordingly
ordered the grocer 10 deliver that
quantity Of early rose at his house.
Tho following morning the citizen
visited his cellar 10 look at his kittens.
He was shocked to find that the gro

Mast Trees.

In the provincial charter Of 1891,
under which the Plymouth colony
and the province Of Maine we're united
with Massachusetts,, IL was provided
that all trees Of the diameter of twen-
ty-four inches and upward. twelve in
ches from the ground, growing upon
land not heretofore granted 10 any
private person, should he reserved to
the crown, for the furnishing Of masts
for the royal navy.
A surveyor general 81 woods was
appointed, 10 see that this provision
OF the charter was carried into effect.
Near the coast all white pines of suit
able dimensions were marked with
the ''broad arrow'-three cuts through
the bark with an AK, like the track of
a crow. This was the kings mark,
and Mr.. Goold, in his Portland in
the Past" says that within his re-
membrance trees bearing il were still
standing. and were pointed out as
curiositieS.
Loag after the revolution had oblit-
Grated the royal authority, men who
had been taught in boyhood To re.
spect the kings mark hesitatcd to cut
such trees.
I'm telling a mast tree, says the
same writer, 1T was necessary TO bed
IT. 10 prevent its breaking. This was
done by cutting the small growth,
and placing the small trees across the
hollows, 80 that there should be no
strain upon n section more than
upon another. when the monster pine
struck the ground"
The mast was hauled out Of the
woods on one strong sled, whether in
winter or summer, and 81 many oxen
were required that the hind pair were
often choked in crossing a hollow,
being hung up in their yoke by the
pulling of those ahead OF them.
A mast hauling vas a great event,
and everybody within walking dis

seeing that the place looked famil-

many people came and bought much
goods. Then it came to pass that
they smiled a big smile and procee-
ded to choose various articles Of dry
goods, food and raiment until there
was before them a great pile of
goods. Then, in his dream, he said:

The farmers in West Virginia, as
well as in other States, have cause
to be discouraged over the record of
the season now about drawing to a
close. 1t has been almost unprece-
dented in its badness, and very few
of the crops have come near the
average. and on some farms the
damage done by the storms in the
spring and early summer wer so ex-
tensive that the price of two or three
crops viii not repair them. Fruits
and vegetables suffered as much as
the grain, and it is no wonder that
wide Encouragement is found among
agriculturists, and in some places
there have been suffering and abso-
lutte want. But no one knows or
should know better the ways of ma
ture than the man that tills the soil.
The land that has borne good crops
will bear good crops again; the
barns that have been filed with ri
pened grain will be filed again un-
til their very sides will seem to
burst. The winter may compel
some West Virginia farmers to
squeeze and pinch little, to econo=
mize here and there, to stop up this
leak and that, but with another
spring will come brighter prospects
for better season than this has
been. Nature like history some
times repeats herself, but a season
like the present is more than likely
to be followed by one of unusual
crops. Let the farmer therefore
cheer up.

1t is not our desire to mix up in
the quarrel of the Gazette with the
Fair Association; but circumstance
alters eases. The unwarranted at
tack in its last issue upon Mr.. Ran
kin Wiley, Jr., impels us to say a
few words in his defense. In the
first place, the charge of the Gazette
that Mr.. Wiley was running the
Fair in the interest of the Demo-
cratic party, is untrue in the ex-
treme. BE denies most emphatic
ally that he ever uttered the words
charged against him in the Gazette;
and from what we know of Mr.. Wi
ley. we are free to say that he is in
capable of using the language at
tribnted to him. There is NO reason
why he should want to run the Fair
in the interest of politics, for he is
not a candidate for any Office, that
VIC know of But to show that the
charge is further untrue, we have
but to say that Mr.. Frank Work, of
this place, is a Republican, and he
was made Chief of Police by Mr. Wi
ley's vote He had all the hiring of
the police, and he did so by engaging
nearly all of the force from the
ranks of the Republican party. Mr..
VIM. Smith, the Treasurer, is a Re-
publican, and has held the Office for
years. and Mr. John Thornburg, one
of the Directors of the Fair, and Mr..
a. l.. Borgess., who was Chief Mar
shall, is also Republican.
The fact that the printing of the
Fair catalogue was given to this of
fec, was nothing. It was after a
fair bid between this Office and the
Gazette that it was awarded to the
REGISTER.
We have been printing this cat
alOgue for years; and we were given
preference because we always did
the work nicely and promptly, and
at a fair price to the Association.
The other work was divided be-
tween this Office and the Gazette,
and it would have gotten more of
it to do, if it had not made an un-
warranted and unjustitiabIe attack
upon the managers of the Associa-
ton. AS it was the Gazette got
nearly as much work outside of the
catalogue, as the REGISTER did.
The Gazette's reflection upon
Mr. Wiley was unfair, unjust
and uncalIed for, as he had done
nothing to provoke the assault.
The owners of the Gazette will
find cut sooner or later, that its
"buIl-dozing" methods will not win
in the end.
Our fair contemporary, in our
opinion, has made bad break in
this respect. that will not help her
in her efforts to build up her paper
We have no quarrel with the
Gazette, but it is our duty to defend
this gentleman and the Democratic
party from the charges made in the
last weeks Gazette.
