SOME OF THE CHANGES.

On the 4th Of March next, twenty
nine senators, or one-third of the mem
bers, retire or bring new certificates.
These positions have nearly all been
filled, some four or five only remaining.
There have been more than the usual
number of changes, both in politics and
the character of the party. There will
be an infusion of new blood, and, per-
haps, of rather better quality on the,
whole. Vermont returns the venerable

named for him III war times, and is too
old to learn that there is better employ

SALT AND BRoMINE.

History Of the Twin Industries in Wesl
virginia.
Salt has been made in West Virginia
since 1907, when the first salt furnace
west Of the Allegheny mountains was
erected by Elisha Brooks in the Kan.
awha Valley where Charleston now is.
He made about 100 pounds OF salt day,
which sold at from s to 10 cents pound
at the furnace. Salt is made in the same
immediate vicinity to-day, and else
where on the Kanawha, and on the Ohio
river front in Mason county. Salt is also
produced near the mouths Of Brick fork
and Otter creek, on Elk river; at Louisa,
on the Big Sandy; at Bulltown, on the
Little Kanawha; on New river in Mercer
county, and elsewhere on a smaller
scale.
The important salt producers in
West Virginia to-day are the Dickinson
works, on the Kanawha, near Charles
ton, and the works on the Ohio in Ma
son county. The latest authentic state
mcnt OF the annual production Of salt
! in the State is for 'S6, when there was
made 100000 barrels, worth in the mar
ket $l62, 800. The production this year
will exceed this. The one furnace now
in operation at Clifton, Mason county,
produces on an average 1000 to 1900
barrels day. Five wells are pumped
into this furnace. The wells seem in.
exhaustible. Most Of them are very
old. One well was bored four years ago.
One well has become foul and could not
be cleaned out, SO was abandoned. Tho
wells range in depth from $50 feet to
1000 feet, not usually being over 1900.
Tho brine as it comes from the well is
about ten or twelve degrees strong by
the salometer, which is machine to
determine tho specific gravity. 1t is
run into a large cistern and from there
into tank, in which it Is boiled down
till it shows sixteen to eighteen degrees
of strength. II is then run into "set.

which it is packed into barrels. The

and if not perfect success, still an ad-
vance was made in the right way. That
/ could plainly see. With some modifi-
cations my last trial was made in 1860,
when commenced planting my present
vineyards, now 90 acres largo, and up to
this time have found no fault with the
climate or the soil OF West Virginia, as
far as grape culture is concerned.
EXPERT TESTIMONY.
As far as West Virginia is fitted for
grape culture will add the testimony
Of two other gentlemen interested in
grapes.
Some years ago an old and well-known
large vineyardist and wine manutac-
turer from the celebrated Kelley Island.
in Lake Erie, visited here, and when l
remarked that was not satisfied with
my crop he looked at me and said: III
we, on Kelley's Island, had such grapes
and such a crop We would be well satls-
fed"
Another gentleman, who had some
years experience in northern New
York, in the well-llnown Hamondsport
region, was very much surprised that
UGH a grape region as he found here
lad not been more developed, as vine
Yards could be planted and cultiyateo

As far as the products of the grapes il
our West Virginia vineyards and theiI
sales are concerned, l will state that We
nave q good market for them in the
large cities, which we are able TO reach
with the Ohio river steamers and with
our railroads, which from year to year
give us better communications with
Cincinnati, Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland
Pittsburgh and along the Atlantic coast
from Washington TO Boston. To these
places l have shipped.
In my long experience remember
only one crop failure, caused BY June
frost in 1856 or 81. Also the partial
crops are by far overbalanced by the
good crops; and these partial failures; l
believe, are still caused by imperfect
knowledge OF tho cultivation.
srPERIoR QUALITY OF WEST VIRGINIA
GRAfEs.
Whenever the West Virginia grapes
commence to come into Market South
ern grapes from Georgia and Tennessee
are nearly unsaleable, and for over
three weeks in many places the West
Virginia grapes have the market entire
~ to themselves. In good seasons We
often ship from here punches that
weigh over o pound, and punches of
one-haf pound are not looked upon by
our packers as worth showing.
AS far as the quality Of the wines
made from West Virginia grapes is con-
cerned, /, as well as many other per
sons, can state that their qualify ranges
very hight the wine maker under

state that / have sampled Catawba
wines in Wheeling and the neighbour

in some OF her metropolitan institutions

towns in the State. Here are the homes
Of tho public spirited men who made
the Ohio River railroad, Hon. J. n.
Camden, Col. George W. Thompson, It's

secretary, and other officials whose

what it is. All Of these gentlemen and
other prominent people of Parkersburg
have won n deserved reputation Tor
their enterprise and public spirit when

GINA envious Of that town.
Point Pleasant has felt the stimulus
of the railroad as much in proportion
as any city on the line. Signs OF new
life and progress are visible on every
hand, and the citizens are alive and act
i've in reaching out for anything which
can enhance the city's interests. Of
Huntington and kenova, on the south
ern end Of the road, tits unnecessary to
speak here, Us each is chronicled in an
other place. 1t is sufficient to say that
in the new era of development the
country along the Ohio River road from
one end to the other is getting its fair
share.
DIG INDUSTRY.
On the Ohio River road are the Bel
mont and Eureka oil fields, which have
enriched that section and made much
business for the road. From one end
to the other is n considerable lumber
industry. At Clifton, in Mason county,
are the headquarters of the United
States Chemical Company, which con-
trolls the product OF bromine Of the
entire world. Tho salt industry Of this
section Of the Ohio Valley, once i'm
portnnt, is now a minor consideration.
In addition TO the salt produced by g
furnace, the exhausted brine contains
large percentage OF bromlne, and
bromine furnace ateach works produces
about 900 pounds daily OF bromine,
worth in the market about 81 cents a
pound. Bromine is a chemical little
known to the general public. II is o
very dense, heavy liquid, weighing
about three times as much as water, Of
a dark brown reddieh color, which when
exposed e to the air evaporates with won.
derful rapidity. It is chiefly used in
producing bromide Of potash. and also
in making other bromides. The, wells
produce also chloride OF calcium in
small amounts. There is no tariff on
bromine, but usually no importation.
The foreign product is about $4,000
pounds ANNUALLY, all made near strass-
burg. 81. i
