AN HONEST FARMER,

He Neatly Plugged Half Bushe of Nuts With
Wood.
An honest farmer residing a few
miles from this place brought half a
bushel of hickory nuts to town recent
ly and sold them to one of our mer-
chants. When cracked the nuts were
found to have been badly worm eaten
The worm holes had been plugged with
wood. The work had been so skillful
ly done that detection was difficult.
and it was only when cracked that the
fraud was discovered. We have heard
of cross-ties being plugged but this is
the first instance coming to our notice
of hickory nuts being plugged Tricks
in all trades but ours."-St. Mary's

Evangelist Moody's claim that the
steamer Spree, on which he was pas
senger, was saved by the power OF
prayer naturally excites the ridicule of
a number of Boston clergymen Of yari-
Gus denominations who have been in
terviewed on the subject. The efficacy
of prayer in the spiritual sense is not a
debatable question among men of any
creed but the power of human beings
TO make the ways of Providence con-
form to their own short-sighted ways
in matters strictly material by mere
act of petition is vastly different mat
tiers. Any assumption of the latter
prerogative would SAVIOR far more of
egotism than of religious trust.

MOST ROMANTIC WEDDING
Solemnized in the Middle ef the
Potomac River.
TROUBLE WITH THE LICENSE
Couldn't Marry in Virginia on a
Maryland Certificate.
FESRYMAN TO THE RESCUE,
And Rocked Upon the Wild Waters Of the Historic
Potomac the Two Were Made 0ne---A
Very Happy Ending.

'oiJ happy Inu4A6'
1t is seldom that a more romantic
wedding occurs in this part Of the coun-
try that which took place few days ago
on the winding current Of the Potomac
river near Brunswick, Maryland.
The happy couple were Miss Medora
Swope and Mr. Daniel F. Fillingame,
both Of Loudoun county, Va. They
were on the Virginia shore at the time
and sent word to the Rev. w. 0. Wine,
of Brunswick, to come Immediately
and marry them. He repaired to the
appointed spot, where he found the
ardent young people anxiously await
ing his arrival. The groom elect proud
ly produced his marriage certificate,
told the minister everything was all
right and to go ahead. The minister,
however, upon glancing at the certih-
cate, found that all was not right, and
chilled the waiting couple to the heart
with despair when he told that them
that their marriage certificate only
authorized a wedding in Maryland, as
it had been obtained in the Frederick
county, Md, clerks Office. and as the
ferryboat had gone back to the other
sids of the river, he didn't know what
they were going to do about it.
Young love always find a way, how
ey er and Virginia couple with hearts
set on matrimony generally carry out
their purpose or die in the attempt.
The services of Ferryman John Ball,
who took in the situation at a glance,
were summoned. He quickly hauled
his light and jaunty skiff to the shore,
the couple and the minister jumped
into the frail craft, followed by the
ferryman, who quickly rowed them to
a point within the jurisdiction of Mary
land. There, with the wild waters of
the Potomac rushing by them, and only
solemn hills and the wind shaken trees
to witness the ceremony, the preacher,
by whose side they stood up in the
boat, made them one.

TEE POWER oP THE PRESS.

Power-there is not a power on earth
equal to the power of the press-a and
the reason for the might of the press is
that it is Power for good.
Many a man and woman owes all
the education he and she possesses to
the Press, through the medium Of its
Weekly and Daily Papers. There is
an amount of information and general
knowledge brought to the people
through the press, which would reach
them in no other way.
The press is the great educator of
the people, and its benefits are shared
by all classes alike.
The battlefelds of the world are now
more frequently to be found in the pub
lie press, where the battle is fought
with the editors pen, than upon the
fields of battle where contending ar
mics perish amidst the roar and earn
age of cruel war, under the command
of the Generals sword.
If battles must be fought, and pre-
sumably such is the case, it is better
they should be fought in the newspa-
pers with the pen, instead of on the
field of battle with the sword-for,
after all, the shedding of link is pre-
ferable to the shedding of blood-and
especially if the desired end is obtain
ed, and victory is assured to the side
of the right, equally as well by this
bloodless war, as would be the case in
a more barbarous fashion.
What patient industry and ceaseless
toll, is the habit and the lot Of those
who follow the press as profession
-Rep. Waiter Whten.

The Lancet lately called attention
to the subject of mushrooms as food,
and the risks Of mistaking the poison
Gus kind of fungi for those which are
edible. 1t points out that it is mat
ter Of great Importance that the pub
lie should be informed as far as posi-
BILE of the main qualities which dis
tinguish the Two kinds of fungi. But
to give precise definition would be
no simple matter. 1t may be said,
however, that as a rule the poison
Gus fungi are associated with a
high color, scaly or spotted surface,
and tough or watery flesh; while the
edible species, on the other hand,
are seldom highly colored, scaly or
spotted, are usually white or brown
ish, and brittle on fracture. The
poisonous varieties, moreover, gen-
orally grow clustered on wet or shady
ground, while the edible kinds grow
iu the open, and generally in dry
pastures. AS general rule, those
fungi which have bitter taste, or
which burn the throat, or yield a pun
gent milk, as we'll as those which on
bruising assume various tints, ought
to be avoided The note concludes
with the caution that all plants OF
this class readily undergo decomposi-
ton, and should, therefore, in any
case be eaten as fresh as possible

Minister Egan, after having pre-
pared to return to his post Of duty il
Chile, has unpacked his goods and re-
solved to wait ten days for more pa.
1atial steamer. There is little proba-
bility that any public interest will suf-
fer by reason of this delay. In fact,
to Judge from the tone Of the Chilean
press, which is instigating its Govern
ment to show Mr.. Egan scant courtesy,
international amity no less than his
own comfort might be promoted if the
should be as leisurely as possible in the
matter of his return to that country.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

The Wise Man Advertises His Goods in the World
and Rsaps AbuAdantly
Buyers of holiday goods and pres

entering and leaving the stores of the
merchants who advertise, these days,
from early morn to dewy eve. - And
those merchants. with their polite as
sistants, are in the best of humor, as
the sheckels keep up constant jingle
on the counters. THE WORLD adver-
tisers are more than getting their
share.

In a few days there will be sold at
auction in Paris the heart of the Dau-
phin Prince, son of Louis XVI, and
Marie Antoinette, who died in 1898.
The heart was stolen by the famous
surgeon Pelletan, who made an autop-
sy on the remains, and has remained
in his family ever since, sealed in a
jar of spirits. PelIetan's son died re-
Gently, and under the law his effects
will be sold under the hammer.

According to the Paris Matin, Prince

According to the Paris Matin, Prince
Bismarck is reported to have said :
:" / have said farewell definitely to
the government Of men. If | had not
been dismissed would doubtless still
be in power, had still enough strength
to continue without interruption the
duties confded to me. Now | have no
interest in politics. have paid my
debt to my country, and | wish to die
in peace"
There is touch of pathos in these
words and at the same time they en-
phasize the thought Of poet of three
centuries ago
The glories of our blood and State
Are shadows, not substantial things.

1t will not be strange if the people OF
Hamburg are startled into fright by
the temperance there ofcholera. One
person has died there who came into
the city with the disease. Perhaps the
case will have no successor, and every
body here as well as there will hope
that the dreadful scenes Of last fall will
not be renewed.

A lover Of the curious in numbers
has figured out some interesting facts
concerning the city of Berlin The
city has 30 miles of streets, so that
person might walk ten days in the
German capital without going up or
down the same street twice. II the
1,40o, 900 inhabitants were to turn out
in a grand review, and march in dou-
bic file, they would form line $50
miles in length, column long enough
to reach nearly entirely across France.
If the citizens should all determine to
start on a journey on the same day
and at the same time, all the cars in
Germany would accommodate but
two thirds of their number If formed
in single file, each with his hand on
the others shoulder, the column
would be nearly 1000 miles long. If
separated until only within speaking
distance Of each Other, the column
would be human telegraph line long
enough to reach from Berlin to Cal
cutta, India.-St. Louis Republic.

STOPPING IMMIGRATION.

ut IjfopOSiAlVu w Pic'|A1 ~ -
pie of other countries from coming TO
the United States for the purpose Of
becoming residents and citizens has
received the sanction of prejudiced and
| inconsiderate persons who have not
stopped to study the matter in its ultl-
mate bearing upon the fortune Of the
country. The following suggestive
considerations in an editorial article on
the subject in the Rochester Post Empress
are provocative of thought, to say no
more
/. The economic value Of an immi-
grant is very great. A slave IN old
times was worth from $1,000 to $1,000 /;
but the Immigrant is far more more
valuable. And this country gets him
after some other has been burdened
with him during his unproductive
childhood and youth.
.. The line of distribution for Euro
pean immigration for two generations
has been through the North and West.
coincident with the line of national
development.
3. The section through which Euro
pean immigration flowed has been pros
porous, intelligent, law abiding. and it
was loyal in the great crisis Of the civil
war.
/. The section through which Euro
pean immigration never penetrated has
been backward, ignorant, lawless, and
it was disloyal in the great crisis OF the
civil war. The deadliest assault on
the national existence was exclusively
American in its origin.
5. The impulse to development was
in the North, and immigration did not
furnish that but it furnished the ma
terial for development and added to
the impulse.
6. Theimpulse toward development
was at the South, for no men ever sur
passed the type that gave us Washing
ton, Madison, Jefferson, Mason and
Marshall; but the material for develop
ment was lacking.
7. immigration has been along the
lines of material, moral and political
progress. and apart from the lines of
material. moral and political stagna-
ton; and, therefore, it may be assumed
that it is consistent with the former
and contributory to it, and inconsistent
with the latter.
s. The inflow of immigration has
not involved in any way the degrade
ton of the American. but has lifted
in him the scale of society. The immi
grants, coming wave on wave, have
pushed the Americans, upward, or, to
speak more accurately, perhaps, have
given them opportunity to throw off
lower labors and assume higher cares.
The Americans of the old stock are in
the professions, in art, in the most I'M
portant branches; and except on farms
it would be difficult to find one of them
engaged in manual labor.
g. Without immigration there
might been have progress, but it would
slow; and those who condemn the form
err must censure the rapidity of the lat
ter.
10. Merely material progress may
be purchased at too dear rate, if it
involves a lowering of the national
spirit.
IL. Has there been deterioration
Of true Americanism incident to our
rapid growth in wealth and power?
H. If so, is it due to the coming of
the immigrants, or to unwisdom in
dealing with them
49, If so, it is due to European
notions introduced by immigrants, or
to European notions bought home by
Americans who have travelled abroad
and grown enamored of foreign ways

100000 Acres of Coal Lands Sold
For 100000
TO DREXEL, MORGAN & co.
Largest Single Transaction in the
State Lately.
BOUGHT FOR VANDERBILTS.
Eastern Capitalists Think Raleigh: County VIII
Soon Be Formidable Rival Of the
Connelsville Country.


Connellsville Country.
A sale of coal land was consumated
last week, which in extent and value
has not been equalled by any single
transaction in this State for many a
day. The transaction is none other
than the sale of 100000 acres of coal
land lying mostly in Fayette and part
ly in Raleigh counties. 1t is known as
the Nickel lands. 1t is part of the
New river coal field and the quality of
the coal to be secured therefrom is said
to equal that from which the famous
Connellsville coke is made. The price
paid for the land was 100000, and
the purchase was made for Drexel,
Morgan & Co., who are supposed to
represent the Vanderbilts. There is
now arailroad from Riverview to Thur
man station on the C. & O. railroad up
Soap Greek seventeen miles. 1t will
be extended on through to Raleigh
county and develop the Piney river
country. The development OF this
county means a great deal for the
southern end of the State. The C. G.
Q are preparing for it by double-track-
ing their road. This county, many of
the eastern capitalists think, will soon
be a formid BILE rival of the Councils
vile country.
The development of the New river
country means more railroads, as rail
roads go hand in hand with mining
and manufacturing. In view of the
possibilities of all the Southern country
the Kanawha & Michigan railroad.
which now finds its terminal at NAL
den, a few miles above Charleston, is
extending the road to the Kanawha
Falls on the mouth Of Gauley. The
extension will be completed next spring
and connection made between the
iAthtbW1tt1 anu OulO ttuQ LH0 u. W ".
road. The bridge across Gauley and
New rivers are now in course of cree
tion and will be completed by the time
the extension is made to the Falls. By
this connection the K & NJ. will get a
large share of the coal and coke trade
for the north and northwest, and no
doubt a through train will be run from
Toledo to Richmond and the south via
the K. & NJ. The Chicago and Michi-
gan are now running handsome and
convenient coaches, being the best
and having more conveniences than
any local road in or out of the State,
and the road bed is in the best of con-
dition. Much better time is made on
the road than formerly, and great
future is predicted by the people of the
Kanawha Valley.
