shown in the New York loan market

pension of bond purchases pending a
decision as to whether the "A per
cents will be retired or extended at
maturity. and an anticipated change
in the form of the monthly Treasury
statement .med, however, to have
slight influence upon the ma, ket.
The changes and disburse ments in
cldent to Nav l resulted in some call
ing of loans, and on Thursday the rate
for bankers balances On call, which
had been 304 per CT mt rose to 5n6
PR ce, t., and on Friday quotations
OF 8 per cent. were made, though the
bulk Of Wall streets loan business
was done at 4@4l per cent. Time

the supply of commercial paper is

A Chinese peddler Of. vegetables
caused considerable alarm in tie fam

telling Mrs. Horne that he had just
heard of Mr.. Hcrne's having been
washed over the dam ut Bullion street,

Commercial Company's, where Mr..
Horne is -mplo, ed. There she was
assured that her husband, although
not then 1t the store, was all right, as
he was there no, five minutes before.
She had hardly reached home when
he himself appeared, smiling aud &C.

DOS DAYS ~ THR IRAR ls. son.

As most Of tho readers Of this de-
pertment well know, dog days in
clude the period from july Ord to
August II, and take their name
from Sirius, known as the "Dog
Star" Sirius is the most brilliant
of the fixed stars, and is at the head
of the constellation CAMS Major, or
Great Dog. This star, during the
period which we refer to as dog DAYS,
rises with the sun or within the same
hour. Owing to this, tho astron-
omers say that the dog star rises
"heiiacaIly" from july 8 to august
IL. The Egyptians, who worship
ped tho dog as sacred beast, as
did several others of the ancients,
attributed the extreme heat of sum-
mer to the influence Of the CAMS
Major constellation; the present
Egyptians. however, knew nothing
of this myth, with the exception Of
the sect known as the Copts. Bat
with other nations it is different.
With many the superstition has
been perpetuated aud handed down
to generation after generation until
the present time, when the most
intelligent people Of the realm speak
OF dog days rs season of baleful
glares and brcezes. But in the far
future this will all be changed. BY
a regular shifting of the point where
the sun crosses the equator, which
is caused by what 10 termed the
procession Of the equinoxes," the
time win come, in about IL, 900
years, when this evil-designing
Great Dog constellation will only
rise with the sun in midwinter.
Wonderful, indeed, is great Dame
Nature, which causes the huge
planets to swing to and fro like ri.
gantic pendulums strung on invls-
IDLE wires, bringing the seasons In
regular rotation with unerring GER
ttinty.

wBsT VIRGINIA POLITICS.

ID. ". Grandon, formerly well
known newspaper man Of this State,
now editor of the Adrain, Michigan,
Messenger, sizes mp West Virginia
politics in the following manner:
BY the way, that reminds ms that
West Virginia has moro politics to
the square inch than any other
State in the Union. Along about a
week before election politics usually
get knee deep all over the affected
district and seven feet deep before
the bar. Here you h&yo politics in
all the vim and vigor Of its pristine
glory. Here it looms up in all its
grades, shades and compilations,
good, bad, and Indifferent, red hot,
fiery and untamed cool, calm, and
calculating; honest. straightfor-
ward and fearless; here it blooms in
its most rugged proportions, gets
bot about the collar, and goes paint
ing the town red with a chip on its
shoulder daring somebody to knock
it off. The genuine brand carries
six-shooter in one pocket and bot
tie OF imported bourbon Warranted
to knock q man down at forty rods)
in the other to balance, no, to un-
balance it. In the language of the
small boy ii is IL "dandy" with n
silk lined pedigree and a 2:2O gait.
The newspapers fight from one
years end to the other and call
their esteemed neighbors" long
haired, sanctimonious, hypocritical
falsificrs (and prove it) with rcgu-
larlty and precision forty four times
in every issue. Indeed, they
wouldn't feel right if they didn't.
Well, we have been through the
mill and don't care about always
going through this world with
political club OH our shoulders.
But il we ever pine for another
KIN C k-down-dr -out-rough and
Tumble political fight, we can just
drop down in West Virginia any
where and havo our hands full in
less than fifteen minutes.

A CAVE IN TUCKER COUNTY.

Along the North Fork of the
Blackwater river in Tucker county,
about half mile from Hendricks
Station, on the West Virginia Cen
trail and Pennsylvania Railroad,
there Is cave one mile long, which
as yet, has only been partially ex-
plored. Proceeding down slo-
ping embankmcnt about thirty feet
the entrance to the cave is found.
An arclled channel which varies in
height from six to thirty feet leads
throughout t. 9 entire cavern, that
has a subterranean stream of pun
water constantly flowing through
the main way and all the amphithe-
aters and recesses so far discovered.
Half a mile from the entrance to
the right is an opening where many
massive snow white pillars almost
blind the eyes with supernatural
wonder. Then taking the passage
leading to the left, and making a
circuit directly opposite the route
taken to reach the first chamber. at
distance of three-eights of mile,
there is a recess which again calls
forth the majestic and marvellous
work beneath the habitablc earth,
that strikes one with remarkable
and awe-stricken sublimity.
Throughout the channel the
stream Of water flows inccssantly
upon rock flooring which battles
the handwork of man. A gentle
man who, while waiting for train
spent two hours in the cave, said
there was another entrance leading
from the second opening, and that
beyond doubt it is an immense
cave, fascinatingly beautiful and
we'll worthy further exploration. -
