The Vest Virginia Debt.

The Wheeling Intelligencer, the leading
Republican paper in West Virginia, has the
following as to how much of Virginia's disc
carded debt is due by that State:
For the credit of this State it will not do
to say that West Virginia owes nothing, and
let it go at that a West Virginia commits
sion in 1871 found that this State owed a
little less than 100000
"If the matter now comes before the State
in any proper form, it should be taken up.
West Virginia cannot afford to place herself
in the position of lodging the question
She has insisted from the first that if she
owed anything, she was ready to pay it, and
that she was ready at any time TO go into
the question.
"The Governor and the legislature may
be expected to meet this, as they would any
other business proposition, on its merits and
with regard to the interests of the State
Nothing that casts dishonor on the State
can be to its advantage"

one third is done each year, so that the

the painting, every part Of the bridge is

an endeavor is made rs far as possible to re-

A signifcan, indication Of the crop ruin
in Nebraska and other Western States is
shown by an Omaha dispatch which states
that the railroad companies, instead Of haul
ing grain away from those States to the
Eastern market, are actually hauling grain
into them to supply the necessities of life.
Contrast this with the crop reports from the
South, and the general desire OF the Western
people to move southwark causes little sur

close inspection followed, which resulted in

Sending OabIegrGms'

There is popular impression that cable
grams are sent by hand, as sre kilograms
and that they are received in dark room
by signals that fash upon screen sucl
used to be the method of transmission, but
that has now been superseded by a better
one
1t was found impracticable TO transmit
printed characters. The four vertical OF
nearly vertical lines that make our NJ could
not be sent, but two horizontal lines thus
-, coald be; and, after all, the marks
that are set down for this and that sound oil
the lips and vocal organs are wholly arbi-
trery. Two horizontal lines are just as APP
propriate for the sound represented by the
thirteenth letter of the alphabet as four
nearly perpendicular ones and they answer
the purpose just as well when all know what
is intended.
In devising practicable signs for the let
tiers two systems were made. One of these
systems is in use throughout all America
and Canada, and the other system through
out remainder of the world. The United
States and Canada lines therefore stand
apart from all other lines in the world in
the matter of telegraph alphabet
The difference between these alphabets is
solely in the employment Of the space be-
tween parts of one and the same letter.
For example, the letter Y is ... There
are four points or dots, but they are sepa-
rated by space. That is the American Y.
1t was rejected by the Europeans on the
ground that il would be liable to confusion
with parts of preceding or following letter.,
and -. put in its place AS matter
of practice, however, no more mistakes occur
with one system than with the other, while
the American has the vast advantage oil
being about twenty per cent. shorter, and
therefore to that extent faster. Other let
tiers in which the systems differ are F, J, L.
o, p, Q, r. X, and H. All remaining let
ters are alike in both Hnper's Young

Biz odiciar SALARIES In England.

1t is interesting to note that the salary oil
the late Lord Chief Justice Coleridge was
$4,000 yesr, while that of the Chief JUS
tice OF the supreme court of the United
States is $4,000. The difference between
the salaries of these two officials is no great
err. however. than tia. between the other
high officials in England and this country,
The lord chancellor receives 600 year
while 10 Office and pension for life OF So
0OO The lords Of appeal get $4,000, and
all the other judges $4,000. The income
of the British attorney general is at least
sec, 900 a year, against q salary of $4,000 for
the attorney general of the United States
The latter figure is the salary of our secre-
tary of state, while ali the English secretaries
of state gel $4,000 year, and after serving
for certain time they are entitled to Sl0,-
900 a year for life. Altogether it will be
seen thst the high officers in England are
very handsomely paid when compared
with those in this country. and the bench
is about the best-paid of all.

Captain Bassett, s'O1d Father Time,
as he has come to be called from his gray
locks and his custom Of turning back
the hands Of the senate clock before each
final adjournment of the senate, received
a severe shock at the recent session
The playful pastime Of turning back
the hands Of the clock may be abandoned
by the venerable assistant doorkeeper in
the future. Senator Mills regards this
custom as revolutionary, and be 50 des-
ignated it when the senate was in ex-
cutive session just prior to adjourn
ment. The hands Of the clock were
within q minute Of the hour of adjourn
ment when Captain Bassett meandered
IN, and with the stick which he employs
for this purpose turned the hand back
six minBtes.
He had hardly completed the perform
ance when Senator Mills arose to his
feet and in a short speech denounced
this practice as being fraught with greas
danger to the legality Of senate proceed
ings He said the day might come when
the senate would be Inundated before
the whole country by having the validity
OF its proceedings questioned for indulg-
ing IN such cbild'a play. lit is said that
the venerable Bassett went out into the
corridor and wept.-Boston Herald.

she loves Wyoming, for it was there she
cast her vote for president. She was
last year a resident in Arizona, but took
up her residence IN Wyoming. where she
had before lived and voted. and remained
there SIX months to have the privilege Of
voting for president.
Mrs Williams has had a unique and
interesting experience years ago in fruit
less prospecting in mining regions with
her husband, until they had spent the
last cent, eaten the last slice of bacon
and had come to the last charge Of blast
ing powder Encouraging her husband
for one more effort, she held the drill
while he struck the blow for the inser-
ton of the powder. Returning from their
hiding to see the effect of the explosion.
they found the good silver ore scattered
all about She helped her husband to
gather and market the ore, and their for
tune was made.

tends to her own business affairs and her
