There must be particularly hot
spot in the earth under Wheeling w. Va.
It is hoped to sink the well now being
driven there at lea st mile. The we'll is
little less than five inches in diameter.
It's popularity is that no vein Of water
has been tapped, and being perfectly
dry, scientific men have an uneXampled
opportunity to conduct their investiga-
tions. The temperature is being taken
at various depths. Alta depth of $50 feet
the temperature is GS degrees, at 1878 feet
70 degrees, at 1876 feet 81 degrees, at 4,375
feet los degrees, and at 4, ,462 feet it is Ill
degrees. Thus the temperature is in
creasing faster and faster the deeper the
boring. For instance, the increase in 900
feet from 1876 .eet to 3,S75 feet is about
IA degrees, while the increase in the
next 1000 is more than 1G degrees. If
the heat goes on increasing In similar
progression, depth will be reached be-
fore long where every solid substance
will be melted. That, however, will be
no indication thatthe same state of things
exists everywhere under the earth's
crust, for wells driven in other parts of
the world have shown very different
rates in the increase of heat.
Hidden away in Galesburg, ILL.,,
lives Mrs. Julia a. Carney, who, accord
inc to the writer in the Epoch, is the au-
thor of little jingle perhaps as famous
az any ever written. 1t is the one be-
ginning "Little Drops of Water, Little
Grains of Sand" etc. She wrote these
lines some fifty years ago, when she was
MISS Julia A. Fletcher, of Boston. They
at once became world-quoted and fa-
miliar. and Mrs. Carny's identity as
their author has always been completely
lost.

War against the Cigarette.

JACKSON, MISS, February 15.-The
Legislature is after cigarettes in lively
style. Both branches to-day passed a
law making it unlawful for any person to
sell, barter or give away cigarettes, smok-
ing or chewing tobacco, or snuff, to any
child under the age Of eighteen years.
unless authorized in writing by the
parent or guardian of said child, under
penalty of $40 to Sl00 fine, or imprison-
ment of not less than one or not more
than three months, or both. The House
went still further and passed the follow
ing: "If person shall smoke cigarette
or tobacco, or other substance rolled in
paper, on any public street or highway,
or in any Church, theatre or public hall,
hotel, court house or ony other public
building, or near any cotton yard, gin
house, stable or barn, or near where any
cotton, hay, fodder or other combustible
material is placed or slowed, or on any
railroad car, boat or other conveyance, or
near any manufacturing establishment.
or in any town or warehouse, he shall
suffer the penalties above prescribed for
that offense."

The Newberry Observer says: "There
Sis a fool negro in North Carolina who
proposes to run for Congress on the plat
formst that the general government should
psyfN1the slaves il set free. And there
lare fool white men who will vote for him
because Of bis alleged views If some
ademago9ne should run in this State on q
platform promising to give every man,
woman and child all the money they
want he would be popular because Of his
Views. IT will be found in nine cases
out Of ten that q politicians views are
5simply baits to catch unwary voters. His
promises are formed with the express
purpose to- get votes. The only views
and the only promises. that are worth a
sfgin acandid date are character and capac-
sity If he is lacking in these, or either
of them, all his views and all his prom
(HI1B should go far naught. A candidate
promise anything, but the one that
ps6fnises most is generally able to per-
form the least. To vote for legislators,
for instance, because of their views is
like labelling block of wood and send
ing it to Columbia. The only safe and
sensible way to vote is to vote for men of
character and capacity, who, because of
these qualities, are able to exercise some
Influence, and will exercise it for the good
sof the State and the people,"

A Big Wolf Hunt.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 21.-At 8
O'Clock yesterday an enormous wolf hunt
started over Crawford and Bourbon
counties in Kansas. AS result about 300
wolves lie dead tonight. Both counties
and the others adjoining were secured by
over 5000 men, women and children
armed in all conceivable way. 1000
Jack rabbits were also captured in the
general roundup. Owing to an error
in signalling there was one break in the
line which reduced the number Of cap
lures, but another hunt will take place
next Saturday to finally wind up the
foxes and wolves Of Southeastern Kan
sas. There was but one accident, Thom-
as Perkins of Arlington being very Sc
riously bitten by couple of wolves.
He will not recover, as he was torn
fearfully by the infuriated animals,

If New York could decide the matter
Senasor David B. Hill would be nomi-
mated for the Presidency BY the Demo-
cratic Convention in Chicago next June.
en- last Monday the New York State
Democratic Conye yention met and instruct
ed the delegates elected by that Conven-
Stion to present Mr.. Hill's name to the
Chicago Convention as their choics for
She Preside ency. New York Will have
seventystwo delegates in that Conyen-
non, SO that Senator Hill will have a
sstrong backing on entering the Conyen-
Rom New York has acted hastily in
III thing, and so much so as to suggest
Strongly tricke-y and wire-pulling. We
do not believe, Mr.. Hill can command the
strength that honest Grover Cleyeland
does tbrongho hont the country, and there.
i fore his domination would not so likely
bring success to the Democratic banner.
SITshe result OF New York,s haste wiz
LIKELY lose the nomination to either Hill
or Cleveland, and bring forward some
Western man. Should this be the case,
swe think the Democracy would lose
laothfng by the action Of the New York
Convention.

A great and noble soul is gone
To that fair land above,
To the realms of eternal happiness,
To the kingdom Of purest love;
Gone now to his well-earned rest,
The reward of an upright life,
To enjoy the sweets Of eternal bliss,
Free from all mortal strife.
A straightforward, honorable life he lived,
A noble, self-made man,
The fruits of his many virtues,
As monuments long shall stand.
A sturdy follower of the golden rule,
Who, by example taught,
The upright ways of LIES short course,
So with temptations fraught.
A systematic, business man,
Affable in oil his dealings;
A man with pure and noble heart,
A man of the highest feelings.
Prudent and temperate in everything,
Obeying natures laws,
Serving the Omnipotent Father,

a kind and affectionate father,
A generous. benevolent friend,
A full and self.taught scholar,
Whose virtues in harmony blend.

was as enjoyable as it is rare, was cele
brated at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. w.

children blessed their union. All are liv-
ing, and all but one, a son, 1. Q. Ellis, who
lives in Olympia, Washington, were
present. There were in all twenty-five
children and grand children in attendance.
1t need hardly be said that their coming
together in honor of such an event was an
occasion to recall many pleasant memories
of the past. At noon all sat down to a
magnificent repast. The day was one OF
enjoyment, and many handsome presents
were left with the old folks to remind
them of it. Mr.. Ellis is seventy-two years
old, but hale and hearty. His wife is
seventy Both have promise of many
years Of joyous life still before them, and
their scores OF friends will join us in hop.
ing that their diamond wedding may like
wise be celebrated in due time. Mr.. and
Mrs. Ellis are the father and mother OF
