The Charles McAlister is beautiful
new boat employed by the Ladies of the
"Mt. Vernon Association to carry visit
ors to the Tomb and Home most hallowed
in all our land. 1t was on one of the sultry
afternoons of last week, when the thermOm-
eter went shamelessly up into the nineties,
that we were most courteously received by
Captain Blake, whose snowy hair and COM
handing figure we're in full accord with the
whole spirit of the excursion. Saloons, be-
low and above, as beautiful as tinted glass,
tastefully painted panels, Brussels carpets,
and velvet divans could make them Cooler
chairs of rattan and carpet shaded decks,
and fresh breezes, made us forget the steam
ing streets before the steamer had well head
ed down the river. Dinner was served al
three o'clock, and icy drinks brought to
those who needed no heavier repast. An
hours ride, past the Arsenal, historic Alex
andria. and old Fort Washington, between
banks covered in freshest green, and we
landed at Mt. Vernon. Here a bus was
waiting for those who feared the short but
steep walk up the hill, and guide to tell
to strangers the use made by the family so
familiar to us, of the various parts of the old
mansion that stands to-day as sound, as
fresh, tho so quaint in all its appointments,
as century ago, when George Washington
and his Martha, with sweet Nellie Gusts,
gathered around them the old and the young,
whose names are terms in history now, to
sit under the long veranda, walk over the
beautiful sward, or boat on the lovely Poto-
mac.

The above is superb portraiture Of West
Virginia.
The Charlestown Mining, Manufacturing
and improvement Company has entered
upon an era of prosperity and the stock will
be valuable without regard to the value OF
the lots. as the following new facts will il
lustrate:
A Shoe Company, employing three hun
dred hands, having an established trade and
well-known throughout the United States,
have made definite proposition to locate
in Charles,own.
The Company is now in correspondence
that will almost certainly conclude with the
establishment here of Hosiery and Furni-
ture Factories that will employ many per-
sons.
A Shirt Factory, employing seventy five
hands, and an Implement Company with
$4,000 Capital, are in correspondence with
the Company, and will be offered liberal in
ducements to also locate here. These are
only few of the many Manufacturing es-
adjustments that have been struck by the
facts set forth in the prospectus of the
Company and are looking to our town As a
coming Manufacturing City.
The two Railroads and the progressive
and liberal men connected with them are
interesting themselves to develop CHARLES
town and express opinion that Lot Sales at
this point would be attended by larger
crowds from the North, East, and North
West than any other place.
Two miles and half of Railroad front
age on these valuable roads within the cor
porate limits, with the principal streets Of
the town abutting on same, which the Com
pany proposes to donate TO coming Manu-
facturers. is an exhibit which We challenge
any other point to surpass.
The Company expects to realize largely
from its Ores alone
All the Stock will be gone in a short time,
and if parties could be gotten to inquire it

The Senate Commerce Committee on Fri
day at the instance of Senators Kenna and
Faulkner agreed to amend the River and
Harbor bin, so as to make Immediately
available the $1,000 appropriated some
years for the improvement of the Shenan-
doah river and never expended. The COM
mittee are satisfied that the proposed inn
proyement is feasible, and will no doubt
appropriate TO continue, but the amount
now on hand Is considered sufficient to be-
gin.
Senator Kenua obtained an increase of
the appropriation for the Great Kanawha
of $4,000.
Parties who had claims for property
taken during the war could present them to
the War Department and on satisfactory
proof obtain payment That act expired
by limitation and Senator Faulkner has in-
troduced a bill to revive and extend it to
January 1, 1895, after which all such claims
not then presented viii be forever barred.
This is of great Importance to West Virgin
ia, where there are so many claims of this
character, as it viii save the trouble of 60
ing TO Congress and the Court Of Claims.

THE BONANZA OF TIE FUTURE.

The Hon. Chauncey NJ. Depew, in his adj
dress delivered before the Alumni Associa-
ton of Yale University few weeks ago,
made the following remarks, which were in
spired by his observations during his recent
tour through the South. If the distinguish
ed New Yorker had passed through this
town he would have said; go SOuth-as
far as Charlestown." This is what he said {;
"The net result ofthis visit to the South,
to my mind, is Just this-that the South Is
the bonanza ofthe future. We have devel-
oped all the great and sudden opportunities
for wealth, or most of them, in our North
western States and on the Pacific slope. But
here is vast country with the best climate
in the world, with conditions of health
which are absolutely unparalleled, with vast
forests untouched, with enormous veins OF
coal aud iron, which yet have not known
ANYTHING beyond their original conditions ;
with soil that, under proper cultivation, for
little capital can support a tremendous pop
ulation; with conditions in the atmosphere
for comfortable living winter and summer
which exist nowhere else in the country
and that is to be the attraction for the young
men who 20 out from the farms to seek set
