A CAUCUS.

There was caucus in Wheeling
on Saturday, attended by Senators
Kenna and Faulkner. and other lead
ing Democrats. The supposition is
that plan was mapped out looking
to securing a majority of the legisls-
ture for the reelection of Mr.. Ken
ma. In doing this they must encoun-
ter not only the Republican opposi-
ton but the organized force of Gov.
Wilson and Hon. Daniel B. Lucas.
Truly the political mixture is embar-
RAISING, and the day of personal sue
cession to honor, Office and pay, has
passed away Hon. II. G. Davis is
said to have been conspicuous by his
absence.

We make special efforts to secure
the best quality of goods, at such pri-
ces that we can sell them at much
lower figures than the exorbitant pri-
ces usually asked for such goods.
One of our latest efforts and great
est successes in this direction was
the introduction of our TRANSPA-
RENT GLYCERINE SOAP, con-
tanning 80 per cent. Glycerine, which
we can sell for only Is cents cake.
All other soaps of similar quality,
and many not near so good, sell for
Is cents. We guarantee our soap to
be equal to any made, no matter at
what price, yet we have placed our
price at only Is cents. We were en-
abled to do this by having very
large quantity made to our special
order, paying spot cash for 1t, there
by getting it at manufacturers low
est prices. We have already hun
dreds of customers for this soap, and
the sale daily increases. Try it, and
you will always use it afterwards.
We have several other equally
good bargains, of which we will
speak in this column from week to
week.

Hon. w. l.. WILSON writes that it
will be impossible to pass the bill for
the relief of The German Evangeli-
cal Congregation of Martinsburg
through the House the present ses-
sion, except by unanimous consent.
There is no reason why unanimous
consent should not be given. The
testimony in its favor is overwhelm-
ing. We hope Mr.. Wilson will push
it along, and the State delegation
should have influence sufficient to
obtain recognition.

A COURAGEOUS FRENCH GIRL.-Some
years ago four men, who were employed in
cleaning n common sewer at place called
Noyon, in France, upon opening drain,
were so affected by the felid vapors that they
were unable to ascend. The lateness OF the
hour lit was II o'clock at night rendered 1t
difficult to procure assistance, and the delay
must have proved fatal had not young girl,
servant in the family, with courage and
humanity that would have done honor to
the most elevated station, at the hazard OF
her own life, attempted their deliverance.
This generous girl, who was only seventeen
years OF age, was at her own request let
down several times to the poor men by a
rope. She was 80 fortunate as to save two
of them pretty easily, but in tying the third
to the cord which was let down to her for
that purpose. she found her breath failing
and was in danger of suffocation. In this
dreadful situation she bad the presence OF
mind to tie herself by the hair to the rope
and was thus drawn up almost expiring,
with the poor man in Whoss behalf she had
30 humanely exerted herself. The instant
she recovered she insisted upon being let
down again, but her exertions this time
failed of success, for the fourth unfor.
tunate man was drawn up dead. The cor
poration of the town of Noyon, as small
token of their appreciation, presented the
heroine with 600 ivres and conferred on her the
civic crown. with medal engraved with the
arms of the town, her name and narrative of
the action. The Duke of Orleans also sent her
500 lvres and settled 300 yearly on her for life"

POSTMASTER GENERAL Wanamaker has
issued an order to the effect that all the
male employees in the Postofice Depart
meEt shall file statements at that depart
ment concerning the part they took in the
war, az he terms it, ''of the rebellion" The
real object of the order, 1t is understood, is
to get rid of the few ex-Confederates en-
ployed in the department and make places
for members of the G. A. +. But the more
striking thing about the order referred to
is the fact that Mr.. Wanamaker says 1t was
issued "in compliance with the request ex'
pressed in o resolution submitted by Phil
Sheridan Command, Nos, Union Veterans
Union, Department of the Potomac" 1t
has heretofore been supposed that the Post
Office Department was conducted in accord
apce with the will of the whole people as
expressed in the Presidential elections, and
not in compliance with resolutions of GER
tain sectional military commands. But &c
man before Mr.. Wanamaker was ever made
Postmnster General for no other reason
than the fact that he had raised million
dollars With which to buy votes for the man
who appointed him.
