IT MADE THEM LAUGH.-It is told
of West Virginia editor that when
a boy, his father was running aprin.-
ing office and publishing weekly
paper. One day an advance agent
for show came along and ordered
some posters printed on cotton cloth.
His order was filed, but for some
reason he did not call for them and
they we're left behind. The editors
wife ran across them, and as cloth
was then high, she took them home
to line pair of pants with, that she
was making for the future editor, then
boy of ten years. As the months
rolled by the pantaloons grew bare,
and at school one day he accidently
tore the seat out, leaving about one
foot of the lining exposed to view.
This of itself would have made the
boys emile, but they laughed until
the tears came when they obsersed
the following words standing out
boldly on the lining in large type:

" Baked BY THE JUDGE. 4"

"THE PARTISAN ACT OF A REpUBLI-
CAN COUNCIL FRUSTRATED.
Such is the heading Of telegram
sent from Martinsburg to theWheel-
ing Register dated June "a, and ap-
plies to temporary mandamus in
the case of Geo. W. n. Martin, re-
Gently Of our town Council in the
Fourth Ward. We do not know
who sent the telegram, nor who is
responsible for such disgraceful and
unnecessary and wrongful headlines.
They are discourteous to Judge
Faulkner, and to the people upon
whose bench he sits, and to whom,
under the law and his oath of Office,
he is required to do absolute and i'm.
partial justice. 1t is a wrong done
him, and wrong to the Council !;
and depth of lowness to which the
meanest ofpartisanship should never
descend. The Republicans in this
community are about as honorable
as any other class of people, and the
truth is, they never declared that
there was an election in the Fourth
Ward, and then voted that there was
no election, when there was only one
man eligible voted for, land that was
John Grozinger), the other candi-
date having sworn that he was not a
naturalized citizen, and then vote
another man in to place for which
the Council paid the expenses of
holding an election. The Republi
cans did not do that; but then that
wasn't any fraud, was it, because the
Democrats did it? The point we
wish to make here however, is, that
the ermine of Judiciary should not be
alurred and stained away from home
by trivial correspondents.

monthly magazine of complete stor-
les, which has won so enviable a
reputation, is brought within reach
of a far larger public than heretofore
by the reduction of its price from
25 to 10 cents. Everybody loves
good stories, but they are notorious
ly hard to find. The editor of Ro-
nance knows how to find them, and
people who have not bought it be-
cause of its high price can now get
for a dime the best monthly collec-

pathos, love, adventure, history ,mys-
