Methods of the Founders.

PittHburg Breaking AWay From the Crude
Methods of the Founders.
Pittsburg has reached a critical point in
her career. She has finished one stage Of
her progress, and is starting out upon
another. Old Pittsburg is behind; new
Pittsburg is before. Her past has been hon.
orable, full Of noble achievements in peace
and war, but the future promises to crown
her with still brighter laurels.
1t is possible that visions of great city,
springing from the struggling village which
they had planted at ''the forks of the Ohio"
may have sometimes crossed the minds of the
rude forefathers of this great center Of life
and industry; but if so, they gave no sign. but
kept on in their simple ways content with the
rewards that fell to them, and leaving the
fruition of their tolls and privations to be en-
joyed by their descendants The result was
town without purpose or design in its building,
SO far as order and convenience were con-
cerDed. Houses were built before streets were
laid out, compelling them to be carried over
devious courses, winding in and out to avoid
distinctions, and involving them in a maze Of
crookedness and uncertainty as to where
they began and ended, which has been the
wonder of every succeeding generation. It
may be urged that 1.-The lay OF the land" was
against the builders an street makers of that
period but sEIl it is clear that If they had paid
more attention to straight lines better results
would have been secured.
Communities, like individuals have their
ebbs and foWS-SeaSonS OF eXultation and de-
dression-of prosperity and reverse. Pittsburg.
having emerged from the disadvantages of her
early environments, is preparing to take
fresh start The close conservatism OF her
founders has given place to broader and more
aggressive policy. which is producing good re-
suits Her light is no longer hid under
bushel, but flashes out so as to be seen of all
men. Great natural advantages and resources
are being utilized and held out to attract popu-
1ation and capital, and with such success that
her growth is a matter of surprise. Her COM
merclal importance keeps pace with her
growth Her financial institutions are among
the most substantial in the coun-
try and they are backed up
by an Industrial system so extensive and diversi-
fed as not only to insure their permanency but
gradual enlargement to meet the exigencies of
the future.

cat length the carriage stopped; they
were at her home. They alighted; he fol-
lowed her up the steps, and into the softly
lighted hall. AS the door closed behind
them, she turned to smile on bim-a smile
of love and Invitation. She went on into
an inner room. pushing aside the heavy cur
tains that hung in the doorway. Here all
was warm, sumptuous, luxurious, softly
lighted. In the middle OF the room she
turned upon him with an enchanting
gesture.
'Now-the kissp she said.
His lips were almost on hers. Suddenly
she lifted her two hands to the sides of her
face, and her whole face seemed to come
away, as one removes a mask. Beneath was
inclosed bare, grinning skull, with frag-
ments of earth and mold clinging to it. A
cold, damp scent OF death emanated from it:
Something seemed to burst in Daventry's
head. He uttered an awful scream, and
fell to the floor senseless."
The doctor stopped and re-lit his pipe.
My eyes fell on the skull beside him.
what does this mean?" faltered. 'Is
that all?''
"a mere hallucination, of course" said
the doctor, chuckling. "Daventry's brain
had given way on that evening, as had
warned him it would. He imagined he saw
this woman, iand he followed the specter into
the street An odd coincidence, by the
way: he was found the next morning, nearly
frozen to death, aud quite mad-where, do
you suppose?"

he got there nobody knows. But ne raved
about this hallucination for years afterward;

hair, and casting cavernous shadows from
his beetling brows, beneath which those
eyes of his gave forth red sparkle; and his
big, irregular nose dividing his
visage like a spur of a mountain be-
tween two valleys; and the lips of his great
grim mouth working and puckering as he
sucked at his black pipe-as he sat there in
his high-backed oaken chair, beside table
piled up with rare and ancient books, and
strange ornaments from China and India,
and with small but fnely-formed skull
carefully mounted on an ebony stand, and
so placed that it had the air OF whispering
in his ear-as he sat there, say, he looked
less like an ordinary man than like wizard
of the Dark Ages. or even like one of the
demons that such wizards were wont to
evoke.

1t was a great reflection upon
the intelligence of the people OF
West Virginia when her Governor,
by solemn proclamation announced
the startling fact that "twe" meant
twelve. The people began to get
out their dictionaries and study all
authorizations, the school marms
were questioned, aud statesmen
were puzzled. The country began
to think that the Cove rnor was a
Volupuk student, and our State pa.
pers would hereafter be issued in a
new language, but "twe" for twelve
seemed to be rs far as the Governor
of West Virginia could go, and he
drifted back to plain English again.
