More Lymph.

The Asheyille On. Co. Citizen of the
10Th ult. says;
Asheville is soon to have another supply
Of kochs lymph.
When the lymph first became known to
the world, Dr. J. S. Grant, of Grants phar-
macy this city, placed an order with a firm
of wholesale importers in New York for a
supply of the article. Mr.. Grant has just re-
Ceived a letter from the firm stating that a
consignment of the lymph was expected in
New York in very few days, and that his
order would be the first filled.
Mr.. Grant, while asking for several hun
bred dollars worth of tho fluid, does not eX-
pect to secure more than about $50 worth.
He will, though, be the first druggist in the
country to receive supply for general dis
tribution.
1t is Mr.. Grants purpose to dispense the
lymph to physicians throughout the State
only upon the recommendation of one or
more of the State board ofmedical examiners,
and will thus avoid any trouble that might
be caused by its falling into the hands of
irresponsible parties He proposes to sell the
lymph at exactly cost delivered here, al
though he could find ready sale for it at
greatly advanced prices.
This consignment will beyond doubt be
the genuine article from DR.. Koch's labora-
tory in Berlin. Mr.. Grant expects to re-
ceive it about the last of the week.
Mr.. Grant, it will be easily remem-
bered, is one of r. G. Colborn's pre-
decessors. The same enterprise which
distinguished his business here is APP
piled in Asheyille aud the JOURNAL Is
glad to know that he is still prospecting
and doing good.

generally substituted for coal for heating

hibited last night was made by Mr.. Parker

WEST VIRGINIA'S LIBERAL CONTRI-
BUTTONS.

The West Va Legislature discussed
the Worlds Fair appropriation bill
yesterday at length, and the sentiment
of the members ranges from $50, 900 to
$50, 900.
General Watts thought thirty thous-
and dollars liberal appropriation. He
had never seen the the time when he
was ashamed of his citizenship in West
Virginia and never expected to- She
might be little but she was loud she
might be poor but she was proud, and
at Chicago, even though dressed in
homespun, she would take her position
with the proudest, the greatest and the
largest of States. He believed in a
practical, not an ornamental display.
Business men would be attracted by
lump Of coal ten by twelve, whether
it was in palatial building or a plain
SIS, 900 structure. He was opposed to
Unnecessary taxation of our already tax
ridden people. People Of the mountain
counties don't want one hundred thous-
and dollars appropriated, nor one-half
of it.
CHARLESTON, w. VA, March S.
The Senate to-day passed the World s
Fair Appropriation bill, the amount be-
ing fixed at $4,000. This is Just
double what was appropriated from
this state for the centennial.

HARPER'S FERRY NEWS

The Charlestown -idg0date says
L. r. Custer, the Summit Point B.
& o. r. r. agent, is still in Jail here,
not having been able to give required
bond. The case is a complicated one
and particulars scarcely obtainable.
The shortage in his accounts is in the
neighborhood of SI,I4o but the Ex-
press Company has been secured in this
amount by deed oftrust upon proper
ty at Summit Point. The serious phase
of the case is forgery of the names of a
number of different people to some
three hundred and fifty or more United
States Express money orders. III his
monthly settlement with the company
he would issue enough of these forged
orders to cover his shortage with the
Company and sent them to a bank in
Martinsburg, after which he would
send a check to the amount of the or
ders, to the company, which checks
were honored. This system was kept
up until discovery. The marvellous
feature of the case is, that it could be
kept up so long and so many orders
accumulated before discovery. Anoth-
er peculiar feature is that while the
Express Company lost nothing, Gus
ter made nothing. AS an agent Mr..
Custer was popular and accommodate

pressed for him aud his unfortunate

The Battle is On Once More.

For the last twenty years it has been
said repeatedly that the mission of the
Republican party was ended. Every
check has been regarded as fatal defeat.
and the prediction there-upon made that
there would never be another Republican
President, and yet in that period the
party has been victorious in four out of
five of these National contests, and lost
the fifth by very narrow margin. Not
deferred, however, by these stubborn
facts the periodical prophets ventilate
their stale prophecies once more. Jerry
Simpson and others of that ilk pipe this
tune again and the fantastic Democracy
dance to it, but they will fatigue them
selves for nothing. Parties like individ-
uals are immortal till their work is done,
and the Republican party has still work
to do. 1t will grid itself for conflict and
fight for sound currency; for protection
to home labor; for the promotion of our
languishing commerce; for justice to the
veteran soldier and help for the families
of those who died for the Union; for fair
elections throughout the land. 1t will
close up its ranks and setting its foot upon
the neck of traitors, will cast its glove in
the face of its foe and dare to combat
more decisive than ever before; and it
will triumph as sure as there is Provi-
dence that shapes the destinies of man
kind. Frederick Examiner.

KEEP The MONEY HERE.

AS the erection of factories and pub
lie buildings progresses in the spring,
there will be great deal of work to do
and a large amount of material to be
purchased. The city prospers in pro-
portion to the amount earned by our
own people and spent right here at
home. 1t is industrial suicide to send
business and money and work away
from home. 1t can be done here through
our business men and mechanics, and
if there is little money to be made let
it be made at home. We have compe-
tent men in all trades, professions and
business pursuits, and they can do and
furnish anything the city dealer can.
We are in favor of Protection of Mar
tinsburg's interests against city COM
petition as much as we are in favor OF
American protection against foreign
competition.
