WASHINGTON, D. c., December IA
There are very few left of the throng
of West Virginians who were in town
last week. Like the contIngents from
other near by States they have left
their cases in the hands of their friends
and trusting in Providence and Grover
have gone home.
There were no new developments re-
gsrding the West Virginia offices to-
day.
1t is believed that quite a number OF
Appointments were decidedNon at to-
days Cabinet meeting, but nothing re-
garding them has been allowed to leak
out.
The application of Mr.. Gilkeson, OF
Romney, for the Internal Revenue Col
lectorship was fled at the Treasury De-
partment to-day.
Congressman Pearson keeps up a
lively fight for Hon. Ross Alexander, OF
Bridgeport, Ohio, for the position OF
First Assistant Postmaster General.
Mr.. Alexsnder's friends are more and
more confident that he will get the
place he seeks.

German sent copy Of the list to the
Republican committee, which was in
session in the room of the Committee
on Appropriations. The Republicans
decline to give out. anything tonight,
but will report TO a Republican
caucus tomorrow. 1t is said there
has been quite a pressure brought
to bear upon the committee to remove
Mr.. Stewart from the Republican re-
presentation on the Committee on APP
propriations, and it is not unlikely that
that will be done in view OF the fact
that he has been kept by the Democrats
as chairman of the Committee on Mines
and Mining. The northwestern Sena-
tors are urging that that section OF the
country is entitled to representation
upon this important committee and will
insist that some one Of their number be
given the place.
The committee changes will probably
receive the sanction OF the Senate to-
morrow by resolution and the old chair
men will then give up the rooms they
have occupied and the Democrats will
be in possession of that important
branch of the Senate.
Nominations will then be received
and promptly acted upon.

BUILDING UP THE FREE GOLD.
Secretary Carlisle Now Has Fully $4,000
600 Upon which Too Draw.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March l4.-The
free gold In the Treasury has been built
up until it aggregates more than So, ,0OO,-
600. Several offers were to-day received
from western points aggregating $780,
600. Secretary Carlisle is accepting
these offers as fast as he can supply
small Treasury notes for them. Only
the most advantageous offers are now
accepted. The names OF the banks
that make the offers and the cities
in which they are called are
not given TO the press for publication.
This change in the practice is said to
have been suggested by President Cleve-
land. as some Of the banks had an idea
that to have the fact known that
they were parting with gold might
have the effect Of weakening
the confidence iet'in them. The
Treasury Department is also acen-
mulating gold in the ordinary course OF
business, though 10 offers OF gold la
any considerable amounts have been re-
ceived by the treasury from Eastern
bankers.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, March 14.-Guy-
andOtte, one Of the oldest towns in the
State, which was nearly wiped out by
Union troops in November 1861, who set
the place on fire, had another visit OF tnat
kind shortly before i've o'clock this morn
ing when the night marshall discovered
one Of the best business houses ahre.
Before the arrival Of the department SIX
other houses adjacent were a0laze, and II
was with the greatest difficulties that the
town was saved.
Two saloons, barber shop, restaurant
snd Two cigar factories went up IN the
smoke. The loss amounts to $4,000, fully
covered BY insurance. Just one half OF
square was burned out. The FIRE origina-
ted, il is said, from a woman attempting TO
get q drink Of whisky out of barrel in the
cellar Of a saloon, and throwing lighted
match among a lot of excelsior.

WASHINGTON, DC, March 14.-Pres-
ident Cleveland has decided upon line
of policy to be pursued in the appoint
ment OF consuls which is expected TO
materially expand the trade OF the
United States with foreign countries,
especially with the South and Central
American Republics. His policy is TO
select men for appointment to consul
ships who have exceptional business
qualification and possess sufficient trade
instinct to recognize an outlet for
American merchandise, and the ability
to aid in working up market for the
product of American manufactures and
farms.
The President said that OF course po-
litical reasons cannot be entirely ignored
in the selection Of consuls, but that par
ticular stress will be laid upon the busi-
ness abilities of the men whose names
are presented TO him. President Cleve-
land has indicated his determination on
this policy lately, especially to one New
York member, whose constituents are
interested in the increase Of the volume
of foreign trade. 1t is understood,
therefore, that for the principal COM
mercial ports and centers Of trade the
selection of consuls will be based large
ly upon their commercial fitness, and
that "political reasons" will apply in
other cases.

Not EXtrayarant,

When Brillat Savarin reproved his
sou for ordering thirty turkeys for din
ner, the young epicure defended him
self by recalling the fact that there was
one portion of the turkey which his
father always reserved for himself-the
very tidbit of the bird-and, as there
were but two small portions of it in
each bird, the order could in no way be
called extravagant. This tid-bit is
known as the "oyster" of the turkey !;
and probably not one carver in twenty
can tell exactly where it lies 1t is not,
as many suppose, piece of the white
meat of the breast. The breast is COM
posed of only two distinct layers on
each side, the upper and lower fillets.
The "oyster," in fact, is portion of ex-
ceedingly tender dark meat which lies
in hollow on each side of the bacbone,
near and just above the second joint.
BY examining the bare carcass of
carved turkey, the two hollows where
the "oysters" lie will be easily per-
ceived, and one will note that their
shape is a long oval. Unhappily this
tid-bit is often ignored by the carver,
or is sliced with the second joint. 1t
should be served intact to any one at
the table who can appreciate the best
bit of the bird.

Relics Made to Order.

An individual who opened small
tavern near the field of Waterloo was
frequently questioned as to whether lie
did or did not possess some relics Of
the battle, and he invariably and hon.
estly answered in the negative.
But he was very poor, and one day
while lamenting to a neighbor not only
his poverty but the annoyance to which
travellers subjected him, his friend cut
him short with
"Well, make one help the other,
make some relics"
What can I do ?" inquired the poor
man.
''Tell them that Napoleon or Yelling
ton entered your shop during the battle
and sat down in that chair"
Not long after an English tourist en-
tered the tavern, and, inquiring fo"
relies, was told the chair story. The
chair was bought at an incredible price.
The next conner was informed that
Wellington had taken drink, and the
Wellington tumbler was accordinly sold.
The third arrival gazed with breath
less wonder at the nail on which Bone
parte had hung his hat. The fourth
purchased the door posts between
which he had entered, and the fifth be-
came the happy purchaser of the floor
on which he had trodden.
At the last advices the fortunate
tavern keeper had not roof to cover
his head, and was sitting on bag OF
gold in the corner of deep pit formed
by selling the earth on which the house
had stood

His Financial Proeramme.

He was beggar with the old worn
clothes, unwashed face, unkempt hair,
and unbrushed shoes. He waded up to
the counter of the hotel recently and
told between his sobs, tears, groaus
and sighs how his stomach yearned for
a sandwich. Clerk Summer went t"
the safe, threw open its massive doors,
and from its inner receptacles drew
forth a new and shining five-cent piece
which he laid kindly and gently into
the quivering and blackened beggar'
hand.
Now my poor friend, what do you
propose to do with that money!" seri-
ously inquired the serious clerk.
The beggar looked down at his
soiled and tattered garments. lie
scanned his benefactor curiously for II
moment, and then in tremuIous tone
said:
