One of the most wonderful pieces of
mechanical work ever undertaken by
human hands has just been completed
abroad. The celebrated landmark of
Venice, the lion of San Marco, has
during the past three months been great
ly missed from the top of the mighty
column of the Marcus place by strangers
visiting the City of Lagoons Last year
when an examination of it was made,
it was found that the statue had fallen
into more than fifty pieces, which were
Eab.e to come down at any moment.
This discovery gave rise to desire on
me part of some of the city fathers to
transfer the original lion to the Civil
museum and to make for the column an
exact copy of the historical monument.
But the Venetians were strongly OPP
posed to this, and argued that the orig
inal lion should remain in its place.
Thereupon Signor Luigi Vendrasco de-
vised plan to repair the damaged mon
ster With Infinite labor and care the
decayed statue was lowered to the
ground and its fragments carried to the
arsenal The experiment by which it
was thought the loose pieces could be
reunited by a smelling process proved
failure. Giovanni contempt, one of the
finest mechanics of Venice, was called
in, and resolved to repair the fallen hero
by welding the pieces together in the
presence of several of the municipal Of
ficers.
More than $50 screws were used to re-
unite the separated pieces Of metal, and
the cracks and interstices were filled
out with an inside lining of bronze.
This difficult piece of work was brought
to happy close with marvellous skill.
Nothing can be seen of the repairs ex-
ternally, and as of old the lion of San
Marco bids the stranger welcome as he
enters the beautiful City of the Doges

Missionaries I'm Scotland.

1t seems odd to think of missionaries
going to Scotland, the home of the
Covenanters, to convert the savage in
habitants to Christianity. At Anwoth,
in ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, there was found
few days ago one of the old "hillside
crosses" set up by the early missionaries
who went to the lowlands from Iona,
or Ireland, to mark the spots where they
first preached Christ to the heather
Scots. This interesting cross is of red
sandstone, As inches long, Az inches
across the widest part, and A inches
thick. Its arms are 90 inches in length,
or were, for one is broken off. Rude in
scriptions are carved on the cross.-Lon-

Fleming aud Mac Corkle in Mercer.


Special Correspondence OF me REGISTER.
On Monday, the Sd inst, Mercer
county Democrats had q gala day. Gov
ernOr A. B. Fleming and our next gov
ernor, Col. w. A. MacCOrkle, discussed
the political issues at this place, and
although but four days notice was given
of their coming, nearly two Thousand
people literally swarmed over our little
town. About IL o'clock a. m. our Re-
publican friends gazed with open-mouth
establishment, and Democrats went wild
with ent husiasm at the spectacle OF q
brass baud and 500 horsemen, with flags
and banners, escorting the Governor
and his successor into the town. Never
have Mercer county people witnessed
such a demonstration. Never was en-
thusiasm half so great as greeted the
distinguished Democratic champion
who had come TO expound solid sense to
the farmers of old Mercer.
At one o'clock p. IN. in front OF the
Court House, under a Democratic flag
that foated one hundred and fifteen feet
in the air, Col. w. A. MacCorkle was
introduced to an audience Of over 1000
people-mostly farmers-and for two
hours the chips flew in every direction,
until protection" and the force bill were
completely demolished. Cheer after
cheer rent the air at the telling blows
delivered at McKinleyism and Federal
bayoaets, and never have our people
been more favorably impressed by a
speech than the one delivered by our
gallant standard-bearer. He has made
votes and will sweep the county in No
vember next.
At the conclusion of Col. McCorkle's
speech, Gov. Fleming was introduced,
and for ten minutes he had to stand
silent facing the immense crowd as they
sent up cheer after cheer for lone of the
best governors West Virginia ever had"
The governor waded right into the Re-
publican theory Of protection" read
ing extracts from speeches made by
Sherman, Clay, jackson, Garfield and
Grant, proving by these statesmen that
the Republican protection" Of to-day
is wrong and would result in disaster
10 our people. He turned his batteries
on the force bill and the Huntington
platform and ventilated them both.
The Governors speech, which con-
sumed two hours, held the crowd to
man, and even Republicans concede his
remarks on the tariff to be the most
logical argument ever delivered in this
county on that subject
At night, upon the urgent request of
many citizens OF Princeton, Col. Mac
Corkle addressed large audience in the
Court House.
The backbone Of Republicanism in
Mercer is brokenl There will be no re-
peaters. There will be no illegal votes
cast by non-residents; and Mercer is
solid for Cleveland, MacCorkle, Alder
son and the whole Democratic ticket by
at least three hundred majority,

A BIG Meeting at Rluefeld.

Special Correspondence OF the ReQtStr.
BLUEFIELD, w. VA, October 6.-The
Democracy Of Mercer County was out
in full force Tuesday and Wednesday
to hear Governor Fleming and Col. Wm.
A. McCorkle. At Princeton on Tues
day they addressed one OF the est
and most enthusiastic assemble .er
witnessed in the Third district. ally
five hundred horsemen were in the pro-
cession, which met Governor Fleming
midway between Princeton and Con-
cord, eight miles distant, where the
Governor spoke the.day before. They
carried bunting from the size OF a
"bandana" to full-grown flag, which
they waved in the air, accompanied by
wells that made the hills and valleys Of
old Mercer ring.
Promptly at two o'clock Judge John
son appeared upon the platform and in
troduced Col. MacCorkle, who made one
of the most telling speeches that we
have heard during this campaign. His
speech was eminetly suited to the farm
ers, who composed a majority OF the
big crowd present.
Col MacCorkle spoke two hours and
was followed by Gov. Fleming, who is a
prime favorjte with the sovereigns Of
Mercer county. His speech was able
and convincing and was we'll received.
: After a good nights rest the distin-
guished gentlemen were driven over to
Bluefeld, the magic young city Of West
Virginia. An immense crowd gathered
AZ Smiths warehouse anxious TO hear
Governor Fleming, who was billed to
speak first.
At two o'clock p. m. the Governor
was introduced by |. f. Suthers, editor
of the Blufeld Journal, who paid him
an eloquent tribute, not only as states
man of West Virginia, but as tribute
of the whole people. When Governor
Fleming appeared on the platform he
was enthusiastically received and
cheered to the echo. His speech was
confined to the tariff and force bill, and
was powerful and convincing in its
effect. 1t was great speech delivered
nv a great man. Mercer county will do
her duty in November.

We will relv upon the intelligence OF our

SECRET BALLOT.

At the Democratic County Conven-
ton held August 1891 the following
report was made by the Committee
on resolutions, which was unanimous
ly adopted:
"WHEREAs, 1t is the practice of the
election districts in the County to have
the officers holding the election to
number the ballots, and whereas,
neither the rules of the Democratic
party nor the Act of Assembly, COVER
ming primary elections authorizes or
requires it to be done Resolyed
That We recommend the discontinu-
ance of the practice, so that every
mans ballot shall be free and secret"
Election papers have been prepared
that omit the numbers, and provide
only for the names of the voters.

The Morning Ba ia,

Cold bathing in the early morning
is beneficial only to those persons who
have sufficient vital energy and ner.
vous force to insure good reaction with
no subsequent languor or lassitude.
Many persons who are greatly re-
freshed by their morning bath feel
tired or languid two or three hours
after 1t. When this occurs it is con.
elusive evidence against the practice.
Persons who have an abundance of
blood and flesh, who are Emphatic or
sluggish in temperament, and whose
nervous force is not depleted, can
take the cold morning bath to advan-
tage. Others who are inclined to be
thin in flesh. whose hands ard feet
become cold and clammy on slight
provocation, who digest food slowly
and assimilate it with difficulty, who
are nervous and carry large mental
burdens, should avoid early morning
bathing. For all such the bath at
MONDAY or before retiring at night is
far more desirable, and it should re
followed by rest Of body and brain
till equable conditions of circulation
are established. Some individuals
who are weak in nervous power have
such excitable peripheral nerves that
they get at once a perfect reaction
from cool bathing, but lose in after
effects more than the value of the
bath. This class of persons should
not bathe too often, and should al
ways use tepid water, choosing the
time preferably before retiring, so says
an expert.

THE LOCAL CAMPAIGN.

The only strife for Office in the
county has been among the several
candidates for the legislative nomina
tion. The campaign so far as we
have heard, has been conducted in a
quiet, orderly and gentlemanly manner
and there has been nothing of per-
sonal character in it. Each one has
made his fight on his own merits, and
has not attempted to build himself up,
by pulling down his competitors. This
is as 1t should be, and it would be a
good thing if all campaigns could be
conducted in the same manner. Thus
far there have been no allegations of
'e improper use Of money, and who
YER the successful men may be, they
til have the assurance that they are
lie honest choice of the party.
