At the station.

A familiar scene from Howells' story in
a little late, and Elbridge was little early;
after few moments of formal waiting, he
began to walk the clipped horses up and
down the street AS they walked they
sent those uuivers and thrills over their
thin coats which horses can give at will; I;
they moved their heads up and down,
slowly and easily, and made their bells
jangle noisily together; the bursts OF
sound evoked by their firm and nervous
pace died back in showers and falling
drops of music. All the time Elbridge
swore at them affectionately, with the un-
conscious profanity of the rustic Yankee
whose lot has been much cast with horses.
In the halts he made at each return to
the station, he let his blasphemies bubble
sociahly from him in response TO the
friendly imprecations OF the three or four
other drivers who were waiting for the
train; they had apparently no other par
lance. The drivers OF the hotel bus and
of the local express wagon we're particular
friends; they gave each other to perdition
at every other word; growing boy, who
had come to meet Mr.. Gerrish, the mer-
chant, with the family sleigh, made him
self fountain of meaningless maledic-
tions; the public hackman, who admired
Elbridge almost as much as he respected
Elbridges horses, (they were really
Northwick's, but the professional con-
vention was that they were Eldridge's, J
clothed with fond curses as with a gar
ment. He was himself, more literally
speaking, clothed in an old ulster, much
fraycd about the wrists and skirts, and
polished across the middle OF the back by
rubbing against counters and window
sills. He was bearded like patriarch
and he wore a rusty fur cap pulled dowr
over his ears, though it was not very
cold; its peak rested on the point OF hi
nose, so that he had to throw his head fal
back to get Elbridge in the field OF hi
vision. Elbridge had on a high hat, ant
was smoothly buttoned TO his throat i'm {
| plain coachman's coat of black; North
/ wick had never cared TO have him make {
/ closer approach to n livery; and 1t II
doubtful II Elbridge would have done 1t 4
he had asked or ordered it OF him. HI
/ deferred to Northwick in measure as th'
owner OF his horses, but he did not defe
to him in any other quality.

1t is good idea for parties, rs
we'll as individuals, to look back over
the way they have come, and see il
they still follow the routes laid out
in the beginning of their journeys
The more frequently this is done the
less danger is there of deviation
from true principles. 1t is the boast
of the Democratic party that it has
kept intact the faith of the fathers,
and it stands to-day upon the same
line of march laid out for it by JEFF
ferson.
The essential principals for which
Jefferson contended were:
1st. Democracy, or the fundamen-
tai rights of individuals.
End. Decentralization in both
State and general government.
srd. Economy in the use of the
peoples money.
4th. Education of the masses.
9th. Restriction of the official SER
vice of the president to two terms.
9th. Religious liberation.
The history of the Democratic
party, since the days when Jefferson
led it, is public property, and there
has never been a period in its history
when it did not contend for these
principles. We would like to ask
Democratic members of the Alliance
to scan carefully the principles for
which Democracy has always been
the synonym, and see wherein there
is any lack. If now there seems to
be a hope for the complete success of
that party, and the firm establish
ment of the principles of Jefferson
as the chart by which the govern
ment is to be directed, we ask them
to not delay that time by following
after "strange gods" and travelling
by ways unknown to the fathers.
A careful examination of the prin-
cipals of Democracy win show moth
ing of doubtful expediency, and
nothing but what, if carried out will
result in the greatest good to the
greatest number of people. This we
take to be the proper test of political
principles. Travelling by the chart
of Jefferson, we shall travel within
the bounds of the constitution. If
we follow the lead of those erratics,
Donally and Weaver, there is no
telling by what roads we may travel
or the ultimate end of our journey.

One Of the late matrimonial en-
gagements is said to be the outcome
of daring little piece of repartee
on the part Of young woman, who
has enjoyed the reputation Of being
not only a wit, but beauty and
bell aswelI. Although quite young,
she was known to have declined
the honor of matrimonial alliance
with several of the best so-called
catches" of the season, and it began
at last to be rumored that her mind
and heart were set on one of her
admirers who had not, as yet, the
temerity to como to the point.
However that may be, the young
man in question was her partner in
one of the Harvard assemblies dur
ing last winter, and during the in
Permission for supper was seated
with her in a seqnestered nook, "far
from the meddlng crowd" Apro-
pos of something that had been said,
he asked her, laughingly, if the re-
port were true that she had refused
all the eligible men in herse She
blushed vividIy for a moment, then
suddenly raised her head, looked
him full in the face, and said, point
edly: "Yes, it is true-present
company accepted" 1t is perhaps,
needless to say that they remained
in the "sequestered nook" during the
rest Of the german, and that the
young lady wore sparkling soli-
taire on her left hand within a few
days. Rumor also has it that the
above conversation was overheard
by one of the discarded suitors, who
forthwith "gave it away."-Boston
Gazette.

Batting Before SIeeninr.

Eating before sleeping, now SO
generally recommended by physi-
clans to those troubled by insomnia
resulting from nervous trouble, is
not very difficult prescription to
fill, but the determination just what
to eat is not infrequently puzzling.
One who has experimental for years
names a glass of warm milk as a
good nightcap for many, while for
people who have q tendency to bill
iousness it will not do at all. To the
latter buttermilk, not too cold, is
said to be the best nightcap. Warm
milk with vichy is also recommend
ed. Oranges and, to certain ex-
tent, hot and sour lemonade are good
for all. On this point the Journal of
the American Medical Association
says: "Most students and women
who are troubled with insomnia are
dyspeptic, and they should, there
fore, eat before going to bed, having
put aside work entirely an hour
before. Ifthey are not hungry they
should simply be instructed to eat
whatever they want. A glass OF
milk and a buiscuit is sometimes all
that can be taken at first, or mashed
potatoes, buttered."

The stolen Surplus.

Columbus Post.
Has the United States Treasury
a deficit or a surplus, is the perti-
nent question. Ono statement
shows that ON the 18th it was short
over seven hundred thousand dol
lars but another shows this was not
the case, because the Treasurer is
always two or three days behind
the actual condition, and that since
then money has comein. No doubt
figures can be juggled, payments
can be held back, and funds manip-
ulated, and deficit may not exist
now.
But this is coming unpleasantly
close for a treasury which has al
ways been running over, and which
had surplus of s126, ,O0O, 900 not
long ago. The Billion Dollar Con-
gress has made short work with
that, and unless receipts pick up
rapidly there will be no question of
a deficit, and no room to dispute it.
The prediction that the surplus was
a danger, because it would breed
extravaganza, has been verified
fully. We may have q Gbillion dol
lar country" but it can't stand
everything.

COUNTY LETTER.
correspondenee OF the Register
In CAMP ON KANAwHA,

July 8, 1891.
During the past week your cor
respondent has made the rounds of
Sixteen neighborhood, aud was
greeted everywhere with genuine
Virginia hospitality.
Everybody is busy at this season,
but the busiest people to be met is
the family of C. W. Maupin, ESQ
Mr. Maupin has a large general
store at Maupin's station, with a
branch store across the river at
South Side, connected by telephone,
in charge of his son, Mr.. George r.
Maupin. assisted by Miss Fannie
Maupin, who acts as book keeper
a nd assistant postmaster.
The Railway station and ticket
office is in charge of Miss Lizzie
Maupin, who Is also telegraph oper-
ator and u. S. Express agent. She
is business little lady, and deserv-
edly popular with the travelling
public and railroad people as well.
Maupin's Ferry connects Arbuckle
and South Side postofices, which
are also in charge of the Maupin's,
Mr.. Mace Maupin acting as mail
carrier, ferryman, &c.
AT South Side Maupin's grist mill,
purchased from the late G. w. Spen-
Ger, about year ago, is located.
The Messrs. Maupin also farm ex-
tensively and ship railroad ties,
slaves, &c. They are uniformly po-
lite and courteous to all, and richly
merit the confidence and esteem be-
slowed upon them.
A few days ago 1 visited the ele-
CANT and richly furnished residence
of Mr.. ]. W. Long, whore 1 had a
cordial invitation to dine, and where
l saw a bevy of charming young Ia
dies, six in number, all the daught-
ers of Mr.. and Mrs. Long.
Mr.. Long is an extensive planter,
his plantation embracing some two
thousand acres of the richest soil in
this valley, and he is philosopher
after the same school as your cor
respondent, acknowledging the
weakness of man and his proneness
to error, and the manifestation of
Gods power and wisdom displayed
in the instincts of the brute creation.
Mrs. Long is a true type of the
Virginia Matron, and her liege lord
may be justly proud of her and their
rosy daughters and manly sons.
Mr.. Jas. II. Couch, Sr., has on his
plantation profusion of the Egyp-
tian Lotus, which will soon be in
bloom, the first that have been
known to bloom there in seventy
five years. This is a rare flower,
and it seeds are sold by Eastern
dealers at the rate of three for a
quarter.
In closing this series of letters
preparatory to moving on higher
ground, your correspondent would
beg to express his gratitude for the
kindness extended to him by the
good people of the neighborhood.
With the best wishes for their con-
tinued prosperity, 1 am
Respectfully, HAL.

A methodist minister once started
a church in young western town,
but for the want of pecuniary sup
port was soon obliged to abandon it.
His farewell sermon to the iukewarm
brethern was characterized by more
heat than elegance. He ended thus:
"At the last day the Lord will say
to st. Peter, Where is your fiock2'
and st. Peter will answer, Here
Lord and SO all of the shepherds
can answer. But when he asks me,
Where are your sheep2' how will
you feel when I am compelled to
reply, Lord, 1 haven't any; mine
are all hogs2"

Among the most interesting relics
now in the possession of the State
Historical society is the beaver trap
brought TO the Kanawha valley in
17ss by Daniel Boone. With it he
al Paddy Huddleston caught the
first beaver ever caught by white
men on the Kanawha river and ex.
terminated a colony of about dozen
at the foot of Long Shoal, near,
Huddleston's house. After this
Boone and young Huddleston trap
ped together all the streams of this
region, meeting with more success
on the Gauley and its tributaries
than anywhere else. Paddy Hud.

years of age, preserved the trap un-

The prevailing impression in dip
lomatic circles now is, that Mr.. Jas.
G.. Blaine will not return to Wash
ington and that new Secretary of
State will be required to fill out his
unexpired term. Mr.. Blaine viii
spend his time in nursing his health.
His presidential boom requires no
nursing and his nomination depends
only upon his physical ability to fill
that position. Even In sickness
Blaine is stronger with his party
than is Harrison in the best Of
health.
