While the opposing faction in the
late campaign love to speak of Govern
or Foster as "his fraudulency," they
are not backward in clamoring for a
division of the spoils of Office, the sto-
len goods as it were seeming utterly
oblivious to the fact that the position
they have assumed would make them
the receivers of stolen goods and as
guilty as their alleged thief.

| On last Tuesday there was brought
Ito this office live specimen of a spe-
cies of waterfowl, which was captured
in Plaisance by Mr. Eraste Dupre.
The bird resembled a common turk
ey in some respects but was smaller
and belonged to the web-footed tribe.
From tip to tip of wings it measured
three feet and five inches from point
of bill to tip Of tail it was two feet and
three inches. The general color of the
body was of dark and glossy greenish
black the wings of a duslly black, and
were streaked with gray as if painted
the tail feathers resembled those of a
turkey gobbler or a fan-tail pigeon,
and were also dusky black, tipped at
the ends with reddish brown. The
feet of the bird, as has been said before,
were webbed, and the claws extremely
sharp. The neck bore a marked re-
semblance to that of a crane the head,
also, had the formation of cranes,
and its bill was about 81 inches
long its food was common crayfsh, on
which it had been fed since its capture.
Undoubtedly, this was rare bird,
and should be preserved alive for GU
riosity or, if dead, in the interest of
ornithology. Perhaps some OF our nat
uralists can, with the aid of the fore
going meager description as basis,
and the help of either Audubon's
writings on ornithology, or Coue's
"Key to North American Birds" solve
the problem in regards to what species
this bird belongs.
Our "devil" tried to get it, so as to
send it alive to an ornithological friend
in Alabama but, unluckily for science
and that friend, the present owner did
not care to get rid of it.

The Wheeling daily and Sunday pa.
pers are marvellous specimens OF the
art OF advertising. In olden time mer-
chants and retailers were content to
display their signs, and occasionallysend
out to their customers o stereotyped
form OF circular announcing their wares,
but in these days OF high competition
and hard work, 1t is the man who shows
tho greatest skill and judgment in the
manner and method OF calling the pub
lie attention to his specialties that
meets with the greatest success.
The most recent form OF advertising
and it is claimed by the founders TO be
the most successful-is the coupon sys-
tenn OF free insurance, by which Messrs,
House 4 Hermann, for instance, the
well.known iurniture merchants an
nounce to the public generally their
specialties for any given day, week or
month.
I On the one side OF the coupon, which
may be leahet, or q card, the mer-
chant may describe his business in his
own way, and on the reverse, is life
insurance for one day, week, month
or a year for $500 or $1,000, or even
$1,000.
These insurance souvenirs go into tho
homes OF the people, who may call and
get one free OF charge, and are constant
ly talked about, and the enterprise OF
the firm highly recommended. Whole
families may DO insured in this way
throughout the year, without paving a
fraction for it. The merchant pays for
it as an advertising medium.

Mr. A. II. Marsh, carriage maker
a father of an excellent family now liv-
ing in Bellaire, quietly concluded to
have his wile's remains brought from
Morrlstown, Ohio, to Rose Hill ceme-
terry, SO that moro attention could be
given the last resting place of his wifo
and mother. 1t was not the intention
that the public should know anything
OF it, nor would it perhaps, but for the
fact that when the body was exhumed
the undertaken at Morristown had to
have six men assist him in handling it
on account OF tho great weight, and
when the coffin was removed the body
was almost perfectly preserved. This,
OF course, occasioneda great deal Of talk
about it being petriiiel, and it may have
been, indeed it's probable, but the talk
is quite annoying to the family. whose
sole object was to have better opportu-
nifty to care for their mothers grave.
