The Columbian Coins Don't Roach tho Texas
Idea Of What They Ought TO Be.
Fifty Of the Columbian half-dollar
pieces have been received in this city
from the Worlds Fair Association At
Chicago. These coins are ugly enough.
The front side Of the coin has an
elegant likeness Of the late Sitting
Bull. This however is said 10 be meant
for Columbus. The patriotic Amcri-
can can take his choice, and the know
.nothings certainly win claim the head
to be intended for Sitting Bull because
Of that gentlemen being an American.
On the right shoulder appear the letter
b. This certainly indicates the loea-
tion Of either a. boil or a barnaele.
There also is a likeness Of Column
bus's ship, under sail. AT first blush
the ship seems to be on wheels, but
closer examination shows that the two
wheels are the Eastern and Western
hemispheres. The ship seems 70 be-
surrounded by a herd Of porpois, $,
but probably this is meant for waves.
There is a fishing pole rugged out Of
and after port in the cabin Of the ship,
and one gathers an idea that the ven
turesome mariner in either batting his
hook and lying about . bite he Just
had. or has hauled in a fish, for the

CHARLEsroS, W. Va, January II.
AT = late hour last night / learned
from a very reliable source that FaulkS
ner and Camden in q measure had
pooled their issues; that il was practi-
cally decided that one should be elect
ed to the short term and one to the
long term. The question Of who
should fill the short term was not de-
cided, and upon this point only, the
agreement fails Of contamination.
This situation was brought about in
a great measure by the fact that VIM.
4. Wilson's name found considerable
support, not only from the faulkner
side but from the Camden forces, for
the reason that a number OF promi-
nent gentlemen now in Charleston
would like to occupy Mr.. Wilson's
Congressional shoes, and for the fuTe
Their reason, as it is alleged, that Joe
Chiffon felt inclined not to push his
canvass further. Many present con-
cede that Chiffon would command the
most strength for the short term.
Many believe that Camden and
Faulkner or Faulkner and Camden
viii be the solution Of the situation at
Charleston. The sentiment has<been
growing, but now it is more than a
sentiment since certain gentlemen had
Ia conference last evening.

A 0hild's Severed hand Grows : 70 tho Arm
Again.
A little child Of JEFF Miller, Of Nor
gan county, aged five, had nj of her
hands almost severed with an AK, by her
brother, October 30, last. The surgeon,
DIR. J. H. Hunter, found that the left
hand was almost severed at the wrist,
nothing butthe integuments on the low
err side sustaining it. The first impulse
was to amputate, but taking into CON
sideration that two out Of the three
arteries remained intact, and the
healthy condition Of the child, il VAS
determined by him, with the acquies.
cence of the attending physician, DR..
Rau, to try and save the member. At
ter sewing the middle artery the parts
were brought into opposition and re-
tanned by sutures andadhesiye plaster,
placed on a perforated metallic splint,
anticipates freely given, and the little
sufferers strength sustained BY q gen
erous diet with suitable tonics. In six
weeks the parts were healed and at
present she has some motion Of the
thumb and forefingers, with the posi-
bility Of a useful hand. This case is
markable from the fact that it isa well
established fact in surgery that when
a joint is opened amputation is the on
ly remedy in a large majority Of cases.

Fashion Notes.

The round, half low neck is liked for
dancing dresses for young ladies'.
Accordian plating seems to be one
of the standard effects that the first class
costumer reserves for fine thin goods.
A new idea in waist trimming is a
draped front caught down. with millin-
ers' folds, that are sewed on at the
shoulder seams, and brought to the
waist line at the bodice point, making a
V-shaped plastron effect of small puffs.
Puffs and ruffles are seen on some of
the newest skirts. A fine light weight
Henrietta cloth is made with a bias
section of the material about ten inches
wide, arranged in loose puff, At the
upper edge, it is finished with two
inch fold, and above this is a flat mil
liners fold.
New skirts are SO arranged that the
front and sides have the effect of very
wide box plat. This is done by folding
the goods in pait fashion, basting down
the edges, putting ON bias band of
trimming, then allowing as little full
ness as may be to~fold under. The next
fold of the plat is then set on, and this
does away with all bulk, and while it
gives the effect of a plat, is one in effect
only, as the under tapping folds extend
only far enough to allow the skirt OF
hang nicely

Financial Science.

From an editorial in the Philadel-
phia Press We clip the following and
reproduce it as financial curiosity:
"This must stop. There is but one
way. Gold payments can be main,
tanned only as they were established.
Buy the gold in Europe. Sell the bonds
there. Not all, perhaps, but over hall
of $50, 000,0 to be issued. There is
no other way but this and this will be
effective, decisive and unanswerable. 1t
will convince Europe that American
credit is sound. 1t will challenge the
European gold supply. 1t will shake
credit there by as much as it improves
it here. 1t will stimulate the market
for A merican securities, 1t will rectify
what is loosely called the "baianee ef
trade" now heavily against US, by sub.
shutting the export of bonds for the
export of gold.
"The return to this country of the
gold bought will do still more. 1t will
establish not merely the gold reserve
now but for the future. 1t will settle
the position of this country and its
credit. We have no army to carry
We have no great debt to pay, Let ii
be once seen and known that this young
giant of the West is in the fight for the
worlds gold reserves and every country
in Europe will feel shock to its gold
standard and be forced to put visible
premium on gold in addition to the
obstacles now placed in the free move
ment of gold from land to land.
"There is no better time for this than
now, when panic, disaster and failure
settle like cloud over all the Old
World, from Melbourne to London
No stronger argument fog our use OIL
silver exists than showing that its value
will be kept on parity with gold
peaceably if we can, if we must by a
war of credits in the markets of Europe
for the worlds gold reserve"
We can only account for the above
alteration of"intellect on the supposi
ton that in the editors absence a fool
found his way into the sanetum, wrote
the article and by some careless over
sight of the foreman it was slipped into
the torn in making up.

Diet for Inval1ds.

1t is one of the hopeful signs of the
times that the toast-water diet for inva.
lids is almost if not altogether out of
cate. The time was when the invalid
was kept upon both--gruel and toast
articles that have, for the most part
been pronounced wholly unfit to sustain
the strength under the wasting tax of a
violent illness. Nowadays there is
more sense shown, and sick people may
have diet of simple, digestib,e articles
amply sufficient to assist nature in
throwing off the disease that has fasten.
ed upon the system. One of the best
articles of food for an invalid is hot
milk, or, what is still better, half a cue
of cream with enough boiling water
poured into it to make 1t as hot as can
be taken. If, as is frequently the case.
it leaves bad taste in the mouth, a
tiny slice of lemon will entirely counter
act this condition. That it leaves this
taste is not in the least evidence that it
disagrees with the patient.
If the mouth tastes badly, squeeze
into cup the juice OF lemon. add
enough boiling water to half fill the
cup, then rinse the mouth and gargle
the throat thoroughly with this. Il
may be used in all cases, except in those
rare ones where ealomel preparations
are indicated. Of course under these
circumstances acids must be avoided. as
they produce salvation and softenine
of the gums.
1t is altogether likely that, as nearly
as possible, the usual diet is the best for
sick persons, avoiding, of course, all
extra rich and highly seasoned dishes.
10 take persons who are accustomed to
generous Diet and put them upon a
course of Cruel and toast water is
enough to make them sick in their best
days. There is no relish; everything
goes against the patient; the sight of
such food is nauseatipg, and, Of course,
no benefit is received from it. A bit
of steak, thoroughly cooked potato
hot from the oven, a tiny part of butter
and a cup of coffee with sugar and
cream may be taken by ordinary
patients without the slightest injury
This will afford the sufferer considerable
comfort and more strength, and is much
more to be commended than the sloppy
half cooked dishes ordinarily offered tc
sick people. Just how the tystem is
supposed to be able to carry the double
burden of sustaining life and fighting
disease when no material is given it tt
work on, is problem that it might be
we'll for the doctors to try to solve.
OF course semi starvation aggravate,
the disease and makes the symptom,
more alarming. Perfect rest, moderate
amount of plain food and some simple
remedies are often all that is required
to restore the health. There is a won
derful amount of humbug in presen
day medicine, as in almost everything
else, and those who are able to discrim
nate between the true and the false are
among the wise ones of the earth
