Appearances Don't Govern.

Appearances Don't Govern.
l have jest about concluded,
After figgerin quite u spell,
That appearances don't govern,
And that blood don't allus tell.
Sometimes the smaller plowin
viii raise the biggest crap,
And it amt the tallest maple
Allus runs the sweetest sap.
1t amt the richest, rankest grass
The cattle likes the best;
'Tain't likely all the eggs we find
Are the hens that made the nest.
The tallest stalk of corn that grows
In my twenty acre field
Amt got II nubbin on it
Nor any sign of yield.
The likelicst apple tree that grows
In my neighbours orchard lot
Is full of blossoms every spring,
But the fruit is sure to rot,
While the crooked, orn'ry secdlin,
Standin outside by the road,
Comes up smilin every season
With heapin wagon load.
The largest sheep of all the flock
May grow the coarsest wool;
The finest horse upon the farm
May balk before he'll pull.
The scrubbiest nag upon the track
May win'the longest heat,
While the che that has the backin
May be the easiest beat.
The sweetest drink / ever took
drank from out a gourd;
The deepest water in the creek
Is jest above the ford.
So I've jest about concluded,
After tiggerin quite spell,
That appearances don't govern,
And that blood don't allus tell.

Song of the Stars.

When the daylight fades in the evening shades,
And the blue melts in the gray,
We pitch our tents In the ornaments
To guard the milky way,
And we gather the broken sunbeams up
That the day has left in its path,
To kindle and build the glow and gild
What our sparkling camphres hath.
With fond caresses we jewel the trcsses
OF the moon as she mounts the skies,
And the heavens we sprinkle with many a
twinkle
That leaps from our sparkling eyes.
But when the stormcloud rolls his car
In thunder across the sky,
And the lightning dashes in fitful flashes,
We hide till the storm goes by.
The sun is our master, and no disaster
Can come to his night of rest,
For with constant eyes on the dim horizon
We guard the east and the west.
We sometimes find where the comet hides,
And we brighten him out of his lair,
Till he speeds through the night, like fox In
his flight,
To his home in the great nowhere.
We sometimes pause in our journey because
We see ourselves in the glass
OF the silent lakes or the sea that takes
Our picture as we pass.
But when the daylight Quivers and breaks,
And the gray mets into the blue,
The tears we shed DER our fallen dead
Are found in the morning dew.

influence of the Moon on Madness.

b A short time before DIR. Charcot died he
said in lecture that semiscientists had
for more than 80 years ridiculed the idea
that the full of the moon was a dangerous
time for mad people. Better informed men
are coming back to that old time notion,
said DIR. Charcot, as the result of increased
learning on the subject of earth tides, sim
liar to the oscillation of sea tides.

Tammany Eloquence.

1t is somewhat remarkable that three of
our best orators should come from Tam
many Hall Many of my readers may be
prejudiced against this organization and
It's methods, as / confess was till had
an opportunity to learn more of its men,
but it must he said in justice to Tammany
that as rule it sends pretty strong and
able men to the house. IN the opinion Of
many people, John X. Fellows is the finest
orator in the house. He, too, is natural
orator and to his natural gifts has added a
great deal of study and polish.
Cochran has one advantage of Fellows,
and that is in voice. He also has a some
what better presence, being giant In size
and manly in bearing, while Mr.. Fellows
is little man, not much bigger than Billy
Malone, who is said to be no larger than a
pint of cider While Cockran's voice is ro-
bust and viTile, Fellows is soft and pleas
ing. Their methods are different. Cock
ran knows and practices the art of modu-
lation. Like Henry Ward Beecher and In
gersoll he has a register of great compass.
He uses the we'll known but always effect
i've arts of following a torrent OF words
with deliberate periods and ordinations
Fellows, on the other hand, runs straight
along He is stream which flows without
breaks or eddies, without whirlpools or
rocks in its pathway. But he is magnifi-
sent. He never fails to touch the spot.
Every time he rises in the house. even if it
is but to say few simple words, he in
stantly commands the attention of every
person in the hall. He can make the sim
plest and most commonplace Qf topics
glisten with the reflected light of his di-
vine gift of eloquence. The marvel is how
he manages always to employ such perfect
selection of words, how he contrives always
to turn his sentences with such irreproach-
able neatness and grace. But he does it,
and it is not possible for human soul TO ait
within sound of his voice and escape his
subtle fascination.

portion of the members of the house are
chosen every two years on their record for
ability and usefulness or on account of the
manner in which they please their people
at home with public speeches. On the other
hand, senators are too often chosen for their
wealth. Many men reach the senate with
out having ever made a public speech, and
while public speeches are not indispensable
to useful craftsmanship, and too much
speaking may interfere with the business
OF legislation as a rule one likes to feel
that his senator or representative in con-
gress Is able to get up and acquit himself
handsomely if called upon.
Genuine Orators.
OF the three hundred and fifty odd mem
bers of the house, suppose fully one-half
are able to make pretty good speeches, with
or without preparation. dozen or a score
of them are entitled to rank as genuine
orators. If l We're called upon to name the
10 best speechmakers in the house, the 10
orators of our house of commons, would
make up list something like the follow
ing:
Bourke Cochran of New York.
John r. Fellows of New York.
John c.. Black of Illinois.
Thomas b. Reed of Maine.
w. j. Bryan of Nebraska.
w. c. p. breckenridge of Kentucky.
Charles A. Boutelle of Maine.
Jonathan p. Dolliver of Iowa.
Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan,
Amos Cummings of New York.
Bourke Cochran is without much doubt
the finest orator in the house today
Though what is known as natural ora
tor, with native gifts of uncommon bril-
liancy, he has not been content with these
For years Cochran has been most earnest
student. Though for a long time identified
with Tammany Hall in New York city and
exceedingly active in the politics of that
organization, he has ALWAYS made good use
of his time. His evenings he has spent at
home in efforts to perfect himself for a
public career. Hundreds of books on his
tory. political economy and philosophy
have passed in review before his eager ewes.
Moreover, he used to take lessons in elocu-
ton from one of the best teachers in New
York and by these means has polished and
perfected those gifts with which nature so
lavishly endowed him. The result is an
orator who stands without a peer in the
American congress. In my humble judg-
ment, there is not another man, either in
the house or senate, who compares with
him in this respect This is a pretty proud
position for man to occupy who is not yer
40 years old, and who was born poor boy
in Ireland.
Cochran is intensely ambitious. His hope

TIE YIRaINIA DEBT.

Virginia debt certificates appear TO

our New York dispatches the "Balti-
more Adjustment Company" has under
taken TO settle the whole business, with
the aid of Mr. J.. NJ. MASON, Of West
Virginia, and is engaged already in an
attempt to float West Virginia debt
certificates" on the stock market.
This is dealing in futures to an extent
that even a hardened Speculation would
not dare TO venture upon.
There is no such thing as ''West
Virginia Debt Certificate" For years
periodical attempts have been made to
settle the question OF West Virginia's
alleged share Of the debt Of the mother
State, and each attempt has been IN
successful. West Virginia has been
ready and willing 10 pay her just share
a. soon as tho TWO States should agree
mon the proportion of Indebtedness,
but until such agreement is reached be-
tween the legislatures Of Virginia and
West Virginia the latter owes no share
Of the Virginia debt, and spectators in

ing a very long way ahead.

NEW FOOT BALL TEAM'
ORGANIZED FRIDAY AMONG MEMBERS OF THE
WHEELING ATHLETIC CLUB.
The Team Viii Play the Martins Eleven Thanks
giving ~Day-Beaysr Falls Defeats Martins
Fsrry-BOxing Exhibition.

A foot ball team has been organized
in the Wheeling Athletic Club to coz
test with the Martins Ferry team, or
any other club in this vicinity.
The team was organized at the regu-
meeting OF the club Friday night. Prof.
Loos, who will act as captain and man
sger, selected about twenty men, who
will at once get down to prac-
tice. From this number a regular
team will be organized with the best
men. Their names will not be given
out for publication, as some changes
may be made before a game is contest
ed. There is splendid material for a
good club among the gymnasium habl-
tues, and Prof. Loos confidently expects
TO have a "cracker-jack" team, which
will make all the elevens In the neigh
borhood hustle for supremacy. 1t
was the intention to practice at the
Fair Grounds yesterday afternoon, but
the bad weather necessitated an aban-
donment Of the idea. The boys will get
down to practice this week.
The recent games have caused a re-
viYal OF interest ia this exciting and
healthful sport, and there is already
talk Of other clubs being organ
lied in this city. The Wheeling
Athletic eleven will play a match game
with the Martins Ferry Y. NJ. G. A.
team, which mas met with but one de-
feat, at the State Fair grounds on
Thanksgiving Day. The game will be
played, rain or shine. A small admis-
sion fee will be charged, and the pro-
ceeds will be given TO the City Hospital.
The local team has already secured
sample uniforms, and a selection will
be made in time to secure the suits for
the game with the Martins Ferry
eleven.
