The Congregational social given at
the church on Friday evening, proved
to be, in character, all that significant
term implies, everybody uniting and
blending in the perfect flow of harmony
which seemed to pervade the air, and
point the finger Of defiance at the faint
est shadow of dscord. The popular
pastor, and his no less popular spouse,
seemed TO he the nucleus from which this
great flow of harmony was radiated, and
the good people, after participating in
the pleasure of harmonious converse
with luxurious lunch accompaniment.
until they were reminded oft lateness
of the hour, departed unwillingly for
their homes. with increased regard for
the minister and his good wife, and the
world at large. Socials Of this character
are productive of much good in the
direction of the improvement of society
The effect is to strengthen the bond o.
social friendship, and materially lessen
the measure of disgusting gossip which
unfortunately prevails to some extent
in all communities.

LITERARY NOTES.

The March issue Of Romance opens
with a clever story of studio life in
New York by Elizabeth w. Champnev,
which throws a new light on many mys-
teries and explodes favorite bubble OF
the mediums. A new story of Lord
Tennyson, quaint but impressive
ghost-story, powerful love tales by Guy
de Maupassant and Helen Lee Sargent,

and charming sketches by Jules Clartle,
Erkmann.C hatrian and many others,
make up an extraordinary array of at
fractions. Romance is issued by Ro-
nance Publishing Company, Clinton
Hall, Aston Place, New. York. at 25
cents number; subscriptions. So so q
year. A sample copy Of a back hunter
will be sent for 10 cents.
Sarah Grand, the authoress OF THE
Heavenly Twins" perhaps the most
widely talked about book Of the past
year, has written an article for the
March number Of the North american
ReUielp, entitled THE New Aspect of
the Woman Question" in which she
argues that while there have been times
when there was q doubt as 70 whether

VIII They Enter Politics?

A shrewd politician recently remark
ed that no man could be elected to a
high Office in West Virginia il the law
vers set themselves to defeat him."
This is not true only In West Vir-
gtnia, but OF every other State. 1t was
vividIy demonstrated in the State OF
New York at the last election, when
the Bar Association undertook the de-
feat OF Judge Maynard. Right or
wrong no candidate was ever more eff
fectively showed under" in an cleo
ton than was be.
The New York Association is power
in that State because it is a united, &C.
tive organization. The West Virginia
Bar Association will be an equal power
in this state, when they come to q full
conception not only of their power, but
Of their consequent responsibility, as q
profession, for the many reforms that
are needed in the legislation Of the
state.

A Martyr TO Duty.

The telegraph states the illness Of
Hon. William l.. Wilson has taken a Sc.
rious turn, that he is now afflicted with
marked case ofTyphoid fever and that
his condition is looked on as being
grave. He is now resting at Guadala-
lara, near the City Of Mexico, and is re-
ceving every care aud attention.
Mr.. Wilson Stiffness, which may result
fatally, has been unQuestiohably induced
by his indefatigable lsbOrs, in company
with his colleagues os the Ways and
Means Committee, TO give definite
shape TO the popular demand for reve-
nue. reform, a work of stupendOus mag
nitude, the thought Of which might
well dauntthe energy and will OF the
strongest. 1t wac herculean task, the
greatest part OF which was performed
by Mr.. Wilson, with the result that he
shattered his health in so doing.
For some weeks prior TO the final dis
position OF his great bill by the House
he was really i'll, but he heroically stood
fast at his post OF duty, determined
that his great measure should not fail
in any degree because be was not there
to champion it. All the way to Mexico
be was ill., He has been fighting against
the disease that has been weighing
upon him until it is no longer possible
to bear up, and he has succumbed.
The great heart of the Democracy
and of the friends of revenue reform
everywhere will go out TO him In his
illness, freighted with a hearty and
honest wish for the speedy recovery of
a statesman whose counsels and leader
ship are especially needed in this new
era of tariff revision in the interests Of
the masses; but whether he lives or
dies be is still martyr to duty.
