Rara ElOWerS.

Madame De Stael said that she would
travel many miles to talk to cultured
conversationalist, but she would hardly
throw open her window easement to look
on the beautiful Bay of Naples. To
many persons, however, the silent thing
of beauty makes its greatest appeal
Though not perhaps as capable of ap-
pretending beauty as Wordsworth, to
whom "the meanest flower that blows
gave thoughts that often lie too deep for
tears" yet they appreciate this feeling
A thing of beauty was the blossom of
night blooming cereus in the parlor OF
Mrs. Henry Meyer, Sunday night. The
flower was remarkable for its size, its
purity and its symmetry. Many persons
were in to see the rare plant in bloom
knowing that its life is short.

Discharged.

The nine Poles charged with the muir
der of David Naylor at Wheeling Creek
coal mines, July 11th, were given re-
hearing before the Probate Court, Monday
and Tuesday. L. H. Jordan, of Wheeling
appeared for the accused. Much of the
testimony was taken through interpret
ers. The evidnece was confusing and
conflicting, showing only that there had
been a fight at the mines on the night of
the murder. One witness said that at
the time the murder is alleged to have
occurred, he was drinking with the Poles
at saloon on the hill. Judge Tallman
decided that the men could not be fur
ther held, and discharged them.

All Protectionists-

The Democratic twaddle about mill
workers going to vote the Democratic
free trade ticket is bosh, and an insult to
the well established intelligence of the
average iron worker. No set of men
more fully understand the situation than
they do, and no set of men in all this
country is more adverse to Democratic
doctrine than they are. They know what
protection has done, is doing and will
continue to do for the country, and they
are going to vote the Republican ticket
to man.-Bridgeport cor. Intelligencer.

FROM A SMALL BEGINNING.
The Origin of the Graceful Willows Along
Our Brooks

The Origin OF the Graceful WILLOWS Along
Our Brooks.
1t is well known that the willow is one
of the most easily propagated trees. A
shoot stuck in the ground at the right
season rarely fails to grow and flourish.
And the willow, is therefore, common
tree in this region. 1t is not, however,
indigenous. When the first settlers came
through the dense forests that covered
these hills and valleys, they found no will
lows lining the brooks, and growing
about every spring, as are now seen. To
the remarkable tendency of the plant to
take root from the smallest clipping, this
region owes its now plentiful supply of
willows. Away back in the early
twenties, woman came with a band of
pioneers from Maryland. Being young
she rode horseback, and for riding whip
she carried a small withe, cut from
willow that overhung the spring at her
Maryland home. The Marylanders set
tied in this vicinity, and the willow wand
was stuck in the ground. 1t grew, and
from it have sprung numerous and
beautiful progeny. The young lady who
carried the switch from the East was the
mother of Col. j. +. CharleswOrth, of this
place.

The Mighty Fallen.

The Intellfgencer of Saturday, after
speaking of the shifting of the Demo
cratic headquarters of this county from
this place to Bellaire says of our esteem
ed contemporary: "Editor Milligan, who
runs the party organ at st. Clairsville,
and who was at the head of county af-
fairs political In his party for several
years, is completely knocked out, and
doesn't have a voice in either committee.
All that is expected of him apparently is
to grind the organ without discord or
murmur. All of this may indicate har,
mony in the party, and if so, nobody will
begrudge them the satisfaction it affords
the various candidates"
