A We'll Attended Meeting this Afternoon
Assured.
1t is now safe to predict that tho
meeting arranged to DO held this after
noon at 2 o'clock at the Exchange
bank building will BIO largely attended.
The object is to further the project to
form new banking company to take
fireplace OF the Exchange bank. As u
general thing the manufacturers and
business men of tho community realize
that Wheeling's banking facilities are
not adequate since the Exchange bank
Rlosed, and the real need OF another in
titution to take its place Is felt by the
public.
A sufflcientnumberof men prominent
in manufacturing and commercial circles
have already eVinced their lively inter
est in the movement TO guarantee that
the meeting will be large aud represen-
tative, and these gentlemen desire that
as many others as can do so may be
present to aid by thei- counsel and sug-
gestions in forming tho proposed bank
on the best lines. The movement is re-
cognized to be in the interest OF the
community and every business man
should give 1t the aid OF his presence
at this preliminary meeting.

THE COUNTRY STILL AHEAD

The Senate may adjourn without
coming to vote within the next
few days, but we think that no COM
promise on the lines marked out in
yesterdays dispatches will be passed.
There have been attempts enough
already made to poultlce the case bv
buying silver in limited quantities.
Keeping that metal always in disgrace
making the United States a bunko
steerer by buying silver at low
price and putting it out at Oar With
gold, and to absorb only certain
amount month. All that is fraud.
Nothing will do silver any good, or
the country from recognition of
silver, except for the Government to
accept all that comes on fair terms,
Unless that can be done we think
the silver men in the Senate will
light until the majority in the Senate
Will despair of further efforts and adj
Journ. If that is the programme. and
If the bankers of the East have re
covered enough from their last sum-
mers scare to once more attempt
to close their vaults to customers and
to reawaken the old cry that it is the
Shermar law which causes the
trouhie. -e Get by December will,
we think, be simply to make a more
intense determination in both
Houses of Congress to never repeal
the Sherman law unless through a
substitute which will secure the free
coinage of silver. But we do not
think those bankers will try their
little experiment., 1t nearly beached
the who outfit clear above high. water
mark. They will hardly try it be
tween now and December, because
the people understand the Sherman
law never caused the panic. The
bankers know that fact, and they
fear the spirit will eventually be
awakened that will make their life |
tenure somewhat doubtful. There i.
a way to get along without National
banks. The Government could sell |
$500, 900, 900 worth Of gold bonds |
and depositing that amount in the
Treasury as a reserve, issue 5000, |
100000 or 5000, 900, 900 in green
backs on that money, and that money
would suit the people just as well as
National bank notes. The old fight |
between perhaps 200 bankers and
!. ZOO, 900 bondholders on the one
hand and 100000 of people ON
the other, if crowded to a final
struggle, will down bankers and
bondholders, and they are bright
to see that fact. Salt Lake

UP CAME THE PILES.

The City Council of Oakland, al
It's meeting Monday evening, adopt
ed aresolution declaring that the piling
driven within that city during the
last ten days was a public nuisance
and an obstruction TO navigation,
and requesting the President of the
Council and executive of the city to
teke the proper proceedings to abats
such nuisance.
Acting upon this resolution and
request Mayor Pardee set to work to
have the obnoxious piles removed,
and yesterday the work went on
with will. The piles were pulled
up and SCI afioat in the bay, and
then secured alongside the puller.
By noon yesterday about forty piles
had been pulled up and the work
was still progressing.
Late yesterday afternoon re
straining order was obtained, which
suspended the work of extraction for
the time being, so the case as it now
stands is this-the railroad company
is enjolned from driving any more
piles, and the city is enjoined from
pulling up any more of the piles
which have been driven. S. F.
Chronicle.
The above presents a very queer
state of affairs, The Il. r.. Com
pany seems to have special griev>
auce against the cities of Oakland
and Alameda, and don't care who
knows it. The only way the S. p
Co. can right matters is to pull up
all the piles, reduce the fare to
minimum and give chrome and an
insurance policy with every ticket,

Astcnished Savares.

The author Of where Three EN-
pires Meet" took some Kafrs from their
desolate inland home in the Himalayan
gorges beyond the mountain ranges to
the more civilized south. Like most
savages, they looked with stupid in
dlHerence at the marvels about them,
n once only were they excited by
an incident which opened their eyes
to what they considered an axtraordi-
nary and unnatural state of things.
They were descending a road when
one of them CHANGED to remark that he
was hungry, and the English 'sahib''
bought him some food at a way-side
shop. The Kafr saw the money change
hands.
How Is this :" he inquired in surprise.
DO you have to pay for food in this
countryY"
Certainly"
What a country" cried the man,
in amazement. Then after bordering
a while he continued, doubtfully, Sup
pose a man had no money in this coun-
try; he might starvew
1T is quite possible"
The Kafir shook with uncomfortable
laughter. 1t was the best joke he had
yer heard. He then explained the
ridiculous system to his companions,
md they roared in chorus.

Vast Power of the Atmosphere.

Somebody has made the calculation
that, taking the quantities roughly and
IN round numbers, the atmosphere
weighs about a ton to every square
loot Of the earth's surface, 25,OOO,000
tons per spare mile, or, 5000, OoO, 00O,-
300, 900 tons on the total of 100000
700 square miles; and it's energy is that
due to the motion Of this uncomfortable
mass, at velocities varying all the way
from the slightest zephyr to the hurli-
cane and the cyclone, rushing e
the prairie or over the surface Of the
yea at more than one hundred miles
per hour. Again, according to his au-
thority, a cubic mile Of air, weighing
about ten billion pounds, develops at
the rate Of motion of the cyclone, some
Loo, 900, OOO, 900 "foot tons Of energy,
md If all were employed at such rate
Tor the performance of work, useful
Or destructive, this number Of foot
pounds would be equivalent to more
than 1000, 600, OOO, 100000 horse power.

BLUE GRASS GIRLS.

When They Are ON Horseback
Every kentuckfnn Is Proud Of
Them.
I was in Frankfort the other day
and saw a sight that was enough to
cure any ordinary case Of sore eyes
and to make the blood of a Kentuckian
dance through his veins like champagne
and his eyes sparkle like the moon
stone.' 1t takes a combination to pro-
duce this effect On a "native-born,'
and the blending in this case was most
harmonious-a lissome young miss, as
graceful as a sapling maple, mounted
on a blooded bay thoroughbred, with
limbs as keen. and swift as the BLACK
tail" Of the bound1ess prairies Of the
West. She came down one of the
shavy avenues of elms and. water ma
pies that are called streets at Ken
tuck's capital at a clipping pace, and,
halting suddenly before an old-time
mansion, dismounted and rang laughing
in, leaving her horse modestly to wait
for his little mistress to return. /

handsome riding habit until they disap-
peared within the wide open door, and
then turned my attention to the horse.
His bride was as delicate as a silken
cord and on his back was a fiat, Eng
lishman's saddle with n small STIR
rup. AS I stood looking the young girl
came bounding out the gate and mount
ed, evidently pleased at the harmless
admiration Of a stranger.
How do you manage to stick on that
saddle?" I asked.
"Oh, it's the easiest thing in the
world,' she said. Father Is uneasy
sometimes, but I always like a mans
saddle bcst," and, bounding lightly to
the horses back, in another moment
she was out Of sight.
That's one of the Kentucky girls
we like to read about" thought !, and
as I turned away I had a feeling akin
to sorrow when 1 remembered how the
graceful, healthful habit of horsebacks
riding was falling into disuse among
the Kentucky girls Of the present day.

A CHINESE ~CRUIkSHANK.

His Fascinating Cartoons Attacking
the Opium Traffic.
The Society for the Suppression of the
Opium Trade has republish ri, in fac
simile, a most curious set Of Chinese
cartoons on the national vice, which has
an almost exact parallel in the famous
Cruikshank series, known al 1.-The Bot
tle," says the London News. The
native Cruikshank begins with q pict-
ure Of a happy home, at any rate of a
happy summer house. The native de-
bauchee is taking his first Whit. He
reclines on a couch of ebony, lnlaid with
marble, and all his surroundings are
elegant and luxurious. 4,..
This is No. 1 of the series. No. 2
represents parental expOsullations-ths
youth on his knees before his father
and promising never to do it again;
No. 3, relapse, and No. 4, the wife
painting scrolls for a livelihood in the
miserable home. In No. 5 the smoker
is at it again, while the wife andythil-
dren, with a reckless indifference to
perspective which is in itself suggestive
of despair, weep by the side Of the
besotted fathers couch, and the old
mother does the work Of a domestic
drudge.
In No. 6 the wife loses her temper
and dashes the smoking gear to the
ground, while the infuriate debanchee
tries to beat her with q bamboo. In
No. 4 he is again sucking at the recov-
.nyad nina while COMPASSIONATE friends
vainly offer him the food for which he
has lost all appetite. In No. 8 wife
and child regard him with horror, but
he does not seem to mind. In No. oil
he has been sold up and his lodging
is on the cold ground. In No. 10 the
dogs are after him as he crawls through
the villages. No. i'll is the same as No. :

buried himself In his books and had |
watched the lime blossoms appear and
fade. He looked thoughtfully at his
daughter.
Il must begin to think more about
you," he said. Il have not realized the
fight of time"
Hyacinth laughed. The years that
had passed like a dream to her father
had seemed very long tand %uneventful
to her.
She went to Vicarage. and Mrs. Nor
ley was charmed with her; her beauty,
her grace, her quaint earnestness, her
brilliant imagination, made her one of
the most charming companions.
When she had gone that night, Mrs.
Morley went to her husband, the good
doctor, whose life was governed by the
doctrines he preached.
John" she said, you will tell me in
this case virtue is it's own reward. I
want to do a good-natured action"
Il need not say that 1 am willing
to help; good nature delights me-" an
swered the vicar.
Il want to introduce Hyacinth Vane
into a little good society," said Mrs.
Morley. Il have seen no one half so
charming for years. She must be most
lonely, for her father spends the whole
of his time with his books. He is no
companion for her, and she really ought
to have one"
1T is a lonely life," admitted the
vicar. What do you intend to do?"
Merely introduce her; she will make
her w way. If Lady Rosedene saw
her she would invite her to Dene Hall.
She told me last week that she de-
plored the absence of pretty girls more
than anything else. She would take her
by the hand, l am sure; and I shall
not be surprised, with her face, if she
marries well, and becomes one of the
queens Of the county,"
You are sanguine?' laughed the
vicar.
The child has no mother, and it
would be a kindly action to take her
by the hand" said Mrs. Morley. If
you are willing, we will get up a pic
mic to Dunwold Woods, and beautiful
Hyacinth Vane shall be it's chief at
traction. l will ask Lady Rosedene,
and you will see that my words will
come true"
Inc vicar gave MS consent, and the
picnic was soon organized. Hyacinth
smiled in incredulous wonder when the
invitation was put into her hands.
II am really grown up, she said,
to herself, with a happy smile. Who
would ever have thought that l should
go to a picnic? Papa" she cried, break
ing in upon the Quietness Of that much
loved study, read this note, and then
realize if you can, how grown up 1 am.
l shall want a pretty dress, a hat, gloves
sc many things. Do you think that
you "a afford to let me go?"
Il will see,' he answered, with Q
smile; 1--WE must consult, Miriam.'

Persistent. Childhood.

A little girl made a great ,clamor
one night, after she had gone to bed,
insisting that a certain doll, named Eliz-
abeth, should be brought up stairs to
her. Her mother finally called up to
her, after having commanded her two
or three times to keep still:
"If 1 come up, Mary, T shall GER
tainly whip you"
"A-all right, mamma" said the lit
tie girl, choking back Il sob, land when
you come up, p-p-lease bring Elizabeth"
Another child, a boy, behaved so badly
that his father said to him:
MY boy, I shall certainly have to
buy a whip to punish you with"
"And after you've whipped me- said
the boy, his face lighting up, may L
take the whip to play horse with?'
