THE Jenness Miller Magazine for
February sustains the high reputa-
ton that it has already won.
THE physical culture article by
Miss Jenness has many valuable sug-
gestions, and the second chapter in
the serial story, "The Philosopher of
Driftwood," by Mrs. Jenness Miller,
is full of strong and absorbing inter-
est.
"THE History of st. Valentines
Day." by Laura Giddings, suggests
a new and unique form Of entertain
ment for modern society, and dis
cussion of MEMS Dress" by Mrs.
Jenness Miller, is full Of ideas that
would if accepted, be grateful limo
walton upon prevailing fashions in
the masculine attire.
AN article on the etiquette of
Cards and Calling" will give great
many valuable hints to women gener-
ally.
THE Magazine is exquisitely Illus
trated, and for original and artistic
models of dress has no rival among
the fashion publications of the day.
INDEED, the aim Of the editors and
publishers seems to be to furnish
women with ideas which
shall outvie those of foreign origin.

To GIRLs.-My pretty little dears,
you are no more fit for matrimony
than pullet is to look after family
of chickens. The truth is, my dears,
generally speaking, you need more
liberty and less fashionable restraint;
more kitchen and less parlor; more
exercise and less sofa; more making
buildings and less piano; more frank
ness and less modesty. l like the
buxom, bright eyed, rosy checked,
bouncing lass, one who can darn
stockings, make her own frocks,
mend trousers, command regiment
of cooking utensils, and be a lady
withal in the drawing room. But as
for your pining, hopping, screwed
up, wasp wasted, putty faced, music
murderer, novel devouring daugh-
tiers of fashion and idleness, with
your consumption soled shoes and
silk stockings you won't do for
wives and mothers" So says Mrs.
Ellis.

THE powerful and picturesque
drama, deacon Lights" was pre-
scented at the Opera House last night
for the first time in this city. 1t is
seldom that a company as strong
and meritorious is sent on the road
to render play which has so many
other elements of popularity. The
scenery and stage accessories are as
fine and artistic as anything in their
line ever in this city. The play is
full Of thrilling incidents from begin
ming to end. No more striking
drama in literary merit, in original
theme and motive, in enjoyable fea-
lures generally of construction and
rendition has been seen here for
years. Frank Evans, as Phil Cor
don, was decidedly clever, and in the
last act he did fine piece of work.

Each of the five members OF the Gu

81 $50 in addition to the $500 al
ready drawn in the way of compen-
sation, and about 500 mileage.
This would make little over $4,000
each for services. Then stenograph-

GoHERNoR FLEMING.

The agony is over. Mr.. A. b.
Fleming has been seated as Cover
nor, by the legislature of the State.
It is useless to quibblc and carp
about the result, though that was
just as plain at the beginning as at the
end. or course, both sides are hon.
est-perfectLy SO, and each, immova-
BILE in their honesty. There was no
sacrifice of conscientious convictions
oh, not at all. The Hon. r. S.
Carr, an original democrat, green
hacker, union labor man, and a sup
posed republican, was the sole and
singular representative type of that
peculiar novelty, for which the phil
osopher hunted with lantern in
daylight--an honest man. He voted
for Mr.. Fleming-but the result, as
it occurred, would have been the
same without his vote. There was
an attempt made, to fasten attempted
bribery upon Gen. Goff, but without
the slightest probability of success.
The result of that was a complete
vindication Of Mr.. Golf. He came
out of the ordeal unscathed and with
honor. We have never read the testi
mony, but undoubtedly it will play an
important part in the next campaign.
We have no doubt each party did
the best they could to win, and we
have no doubt but that many email
technioality was used and many an
honest vote thrown out and not
counted.

HELP.

There are two important factors
at work in our town, doing their ut
most to secure the best possible adj
vantages to improve and benefit
Martinsburg. One is the Board of
Trade and the other the Business
Mems Improvement Association
They work by various methods. but
pull together for the general good.
We want all the people to join and
help along. Neither do or say, any
thing, that will tend to injure or re-
tard any effort. We must all work
work earnestly, and unsparingly
give of our time and substance to
win prosperity and productive inter
ests for our homes. All are inter-
ested, from the old man down to the
smallest child. The town Council
should also be wide awake, and so
legislatc as to foster and encourage,
by proper legislation, any interest
that by it's location here, win give
work to the people and thereby fur
nish them the means to erect homes
and add to the wealth of the town.
Help, help, all along the line is ne
cessary for success.
