Overwhelming Egotism.

Senator Berry tells story illustrat-
ing the overwhelming egotism OF can
didate for Gubernational honorS in
Arkansas. There were several entries
for the prize, and it was hard to name
the winner. During the heat OF the
contest, when matters were approach
ing the climax, one of the most promi-
pent aspirants took his modest competi-
tor aside and whispered in his ear: "You
are a young man and am getting old.
Don't get in my way this time and | will
helm YOU in the next race. You can al
ford to wait two years longer"
II can afford to wait, certainly" said
the man addressed, "sdt can Arkansas
waltz"
"And which waited, Senator?" asked
the reporter.
both, ,"\said the Senator. ''and the
man hasn't quit waiting yet"

Commissary General FranzheIm Talks.
General A. A. Franzheim, Commissary
General Of the State, was seen last
night, and was told Of the rumor which
had been sent on from the East, when
he said:-
~ suppose the State could gather
eight or nine hundred men in Charles
ton in two or three days, il the emer-
gency was great enough. There are,
perhaps seven hundred uniformed men
of all arms, now in the various
commands, and by having the
men take along their dress as we'll
as their fatigue uniforms, clothing
could be supplied for thousand or elev-
en- hundred men, as nearly all the com
mands are supplied with both uniforms.
The men are all armed with new Spring
Uelu TlueS, anu IucIe are d SOOu many
of the same rifles, identical as to cali
bre, but of older pattern, at Charleston.
There are no tents, bat few overcoats,
or blankets, and little or no campequip-
page. That would have to come from
the government, and would prob
ably be at Charleston as soon as the
men got there. The camp experience
Of the men, last summer, was a good
experience for them, and they would
soon fall into the routine OF field duty.
Aside from the men actually enrolled in
the various companies, there are large
number of well-drilled young men in
the State, formerly members of military
organizations. Right here in Wheel
ing there are qultea number, Wellsburg
had company recently disbanded, and
there was another at West Liberty, this
county. and at Moundsville. 1t is likely
that in the event OF such call as was
mentioned in the rumor, that the Beth
any company would get recruits equal
to its present enrolment among the
former members of companies in this
vicinity, and that would be true OF other
commands throughout the State"

A CABINET MEETING,
At Which the Chilean situation is the
Topic OF Conversation.


Topic OF Conversation.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January 10
The Cabinet meeting to-day was devo-
ted almost entirely to the consideration
of the Chilean question. The proceed
lngs were only temporarily interrupted
by the slight illness of Secretary Blaine.
There is reason to believe that the
government has received dispatches
from the Chilean Minister looking to a
peaceful and satisfactory solution OF the
questions in dispute, and that they
were submitted to the Cabinet to-day.
This will have a most important bear
ing on the question of submitting the
correspondence to Congress at present,
aud it may possibly do away altogether
with the necessity Of referring the ques-
tion to Congress.
1t is known that the President desires
to exhaust all diplomatic means before
submitting the matter to Congress for
action.

ADeserYed Compliment.

dress to the Democracy in this city
Tuesday paid deserved compliment TO
our Legislative ticket, which deserves
more than the reference given 1t in yes
serday's REGISTER.
He feelingly referred to the fact that
at the last election the county OF Chic
had sent solid delegation to the Legis-
lature, thereby securing the election of
a United States Senator. In this con-
nection he referred especially to the
ability of Mr.. Brockunier, who was fire.
ouently sent TO Washington to appear
before the Ways and Means Committee,
and that his actions and speech were in
such violent contrast with others who
came on the same errand, that while
Mr.. Brockunier was himself manu-
facturer, he asked for no high protec-
ton. but always earnestly pleaded for
the interest of the people of this city
and county. He said Mr.. Brockunier
was the only member Of the ticket he
knew personally, but he was informed
reliably the ticket as whole was very
strong and should not fail OF being
elected.
