The last of the exercises incident upon
the Thirteenth annual commencement
of the Wheeling public schools took
place last evening at the Opera House,
on which occasion the two members OF
the class Of 80 Of Lincoln school, Miss
Ella Jones and Mr.. Lewis E. jackson,
graduated. The exercises were very
pleasant and enjoyable. The audience
was not nearly as large as that present
on the previous evening, but II was a
hundred per cent. more orderly at the
opening of the programme, and the peo-
pie in the most distant parts OF the house
could hear what the performers were
saying. 4 number Of the pupils of the
school occupied the stage, in addition to

Truths to be Remembered.

Frugality may be termed the
daughter of prudence, the sister of
temperance and the parent OF liber-
ty. He that is extravagant will
quickly become poor, and poverty
will enforce dependence and corrup-
ton.
The management of household
is as much a matter of business as
the management of a shop or count
ing-house. 1t requires method, ac-
curacy, organization, industry
economy, discipline, tact, knowI-
edge and capacity for adapting
means to ends.
There is no slight danger from
general ignorance; and the only
choice which Providence has grac-
iously left to vicious government
is either to fall by the people, if
they are suffered to become enligh-
tened, or with them, if they are
kept enslaved and ignorant.
Activity without overwork,
healthful living, moderation, self
control, the due exercise of all the
faculties, the cultivation of the reas-
on, the Judgment and the will, the
nurture of all kindly feelings and
the practice of doing good-all
things, in fact, which tend to build
up noble manhood-also prepare
the way to long life and a happy
and blessed old ago.
A child's training must be begun
without delay, while it is yet an in
fant in arms. AS soon as it knows
that crying will not conquer, that
persistence in naughtiness will not
be encouraged by its weak minded
nurse or mother, it learns the wis
dom of submission. A victory once
gained thus over a rebellious. child,
however much it may cost the ten
der-hearted mother at the time, is
we'll won. Next time the fight will
not last SO long, and gradually the
little child will learn the necessity of
obedience.-NeU York Ledger.

The sensitIveness OF You.I..

Scribner's Magazine.
Boys, especially, shrink from any
approach to ridicuIe on the part of
their elders. Only yesterday a wise
and amiable philosopher confessed
to me that his disapproval of certain
person of note arose from nothing
more serious than an unlucky ques-
ton put to him in his boyhood by
the celebrity we were discussing.
The man, meaning to be pleasantly
jocose, in the presence of others;
had asked the boy what he thought
of matters and things in general.
The fitting repartee is not apparent
at once even to a mature mind, and
the poor victim had remained con-
fused and silent, recalling his pain
fnl position ever afterward at sight
of his tormentor-untill displeasure,
thriving upon itself, grew into re-
sentiment.
We may bo so unfortuuate as to
encounter antipathetic creatures at
all seasons of our lives, but surely
the antipathies most deeply rooted
have their seed sown early, as this
one was. Beware. of youth it is to
be dreaded, not despised. The cal
low fiedging whom we laugh at
may burst ntosongOneday. Worse
than that, he may impale us for our
shortcomings with a shaft Of satire
as the poet of ages did poor Justice
Shallow. We, through him, may
live eternal inglorious, while he
reads his history in all nations eyes.

1t seemed Like a Rebuke.

Residents in a certain seaport town of
Lincoln county remember singular cir
cumstance connected with the erection of
its Oldest church. There is deal of super
stition as native to these lodges as the i'll
smelling rockwell.
The townspeople were very poor when
the old church was built The actual
amount of money given toward it was
very small indeed. Hardly person in
town but contributed some material, how
ever In the northern part close by a cove
whose banks were mantled with beautiful
moss, after the first few feet of cliff, and
crowned with sturdy trees and straight,
stalwart pines, lived man noted for other
things than generosity. The soliciting
committee put off asking for his contribu-
ton until others had poured in and the
church was sure thing. Then they waited
upon him and said: "Mr Blank, we want
that monster pine of yours for your contri-
button to the church; it will make an ex-
cellent sill Will you give it for your parts''
"Give my best pine tree, give any of my
pine? No, sir. Not one of them shall come
down"
Nothing could shake this determination.
In less than week arose one of the heavi-
est storms ever known on that coast. And
not one of those proud pines in the man s
forest was left, and the tallest pine, the one
wanted for sill, was riven from top to bot
tom by the thunder bolt.-Lewiston Jour

ELEPHANT TRAPPING
How the Great Beasts are Cap

THE FUNERAL In THE COUNTRY.
1t is Very Melancholy Thing as Compared
to that in the City - Edmunds
Yates and Ouida.

Silent and almost motionless, quite hid
den in the darkness, stood the huge form
of an old bull elephant, one of whose tusks
had been damaged in his youth and had
become totally decayed. His head was
bent forward in order to rest his one mon
ster tusk upon the ground; his trunk,
loosely cooled bpween his fore legs, was
also resting on the ground, and his great
tagged ears tapped spasmodically in vain
endeavors to shake off the myriads of mos
ovitoes that persistently lowered around
his head Suddenly the forest was lit up
by most vivid flash of lightning, followed
an instant afterward by crashing peal of
thunder. The elephant raised his head
with startled jerk, his huge limbs shak-
ing with fear.
Almost before the rumDling echoes of
the thunder had died away the rain that
had been threatening for so many hours
fell in torrents. Flashes of lightning sue
ceeded each other so rapidly that the at
tendant peals of thunder were converted
into one continuous roar, and the violence
of the wind soon increased to veritable
tornado-a tropical hurricane.
Trees were blown down and uprooted on
all sides. The terrified elephant remained
for some time motionless with fear, but as
the tempest continued the monster be.
came suddenly panicstricken, and charged
madly through the dense forest, stumbling
and falling over the trunks of uprooted
trees in his endeavors to gain some open
patch where there would be no danger OF
being crushed by the falling timber.
Suddenly. in the midst of mad rush,
the elephant sank to the ground with a
sharp squeal of pain. The poor brute had
severed the vines that supported one of the
traps that had been arranged the previous
day, and a heavily weighted spear was
plunged between his shoulders. For some
moments he remained motionless, then the
great body rolled slowly from side to side
in vain endeavor to free himself from the
spear, but the weapon was barbed and the
points had penetrated too deeply to BIS
shaken off. Here he remained. exhausted
until daybreak, his hide covered with
patches of mud and deep red smears OF
blood.-Herbert Ward in Scribner's

Country Funerals.

A funeral in a country town is always a
melancholy thing, much more so than in
the midst of a great city, where the multi
tude of living, instead of offering, as might
be supposed, a strange and startling con-
trast to the procession of the dead, seems
TO carry away all thought of mortality
upon the tide of animation, and the only
fitting and seasonable observation is, 'Loi
another drop of water gone from the oceanr''
Almost every circumstance is to man, in
general, very little impressive, except by
its associations, which are the channels
whereby the events that occur to others
apply themselves to our own hearts; and
the general moral that we must all die is
the only one suggested by the sight of death
in large city. But in village or hamlet
or small neighborhood funeral has, in
general, a thousand associating ties with
the mind of every one who beholds it,
bringing it near both to feeling and gener-
Gus and to selfish hearts
One man, when he sees his companion
borne to the grave, thinks of the boyish
days of happiness which he has spent with
him, and looks back upon the past with
regret. Another mourns him, cut off early
before his family are provided for, leaving
widow or parents behind. Another
thinks, HE was my schoolfellow, and he
is gone; it may be my turn next. So each
reads his comment in turn; each feels an
interest in the man he has personally
known, and gloom and darkness for time
take possession of every heart.-New York
Ledger.

1t is known, perhaps, that the enterpris-

California. have been seeking more direct
railway communication with this city for
two or more years. 1t can be said, indeed.
that railroad companies and magnates have
been offered most magnificent bonus for
road that would Immediately unite the
two cities, and shorten the distance to
the coast nearly five hundred miles.
Among San Diego's business men who
have been seeking the communication Of
this end, so much to be desired, is Mr.
George w. Nolan. who left Salt Lake yes
terday for Chicago, where he has gone as
assistant general manager of southern
Californias exhibit to the Worlds fair,
which he confidently states will, in fruits,
at least, eclipse anything ever seen on the
continent. Although here but few short
hours he found time to exchange greetings
with a HERALD reporter, and in reply to
the question, "What do you think the
chances are for the Southern Pacific rail-
road company to build road directly con-
Getting Salt Lake and San Diege?" he
said:
81 am really unprepared to state.
w ny the city offered that company
100000 to construct such line, in fact
extended the offer to any road that would
do it, and the offer is good to-day. The
President of the Southern Pacific Mr..
Tiernon, has been active in looking into the
after, but as yet he has given out nothing
tn at would indicate his intentions either
one way or the other"
1.-THE chief advantage to you in such a
road would be better means for Transports

''Most certainly; southern California is
the greatest fruit country on earth. About
everything of the fruit kind grows there in
good quantity. A more direct line to the
eastern marts means millions of dollars to
US. Besides, it ought to be remembered
that the mineral resources between the two
cities have hardly been touched. Such a
road as is needed would unbosom
untold wealth. The whole contemplated
line is full of resources and
the only thing necessary is further ad-
vance of civilization in the way of steam"
"Do you think that such road will ever
be built!"
81 do; think the Southern Pacific will
build the road. Financial straits in the
east alone keep it inactive. If the dollars
of the dads were more plentiful dirt would
fly on the road in no time. San Diego's
proposition of half million dollars for the
road would not go begging"
