Hon. A. S. cambridge.

There is one way whereby the Democrats
Of Jefferson county can secure representa-
tive in our State Legislature whose patriot
ism is pure, whose energy is tireless, and
who is trusted and honored the State over
wherever he is known.-and that is to re-
nominate Hon. A. s. cambridge. We will
attempt no criticism of his opponents,
Messrs. G. II. Knott and VIM. N. Clements.
What interests they may represent or seek
10 serve are better known to the people Of JEFF
ferson than to us. But having an intimate
personal knowledge of the course of Mr..
cambridge in two Legislatures, having had
the most undoubted proofs of his zeal and
fidelity to the best and highest interests OF
his people, knowing him to be absolutely
free from the faint of corporate or other dan
gerous influences, manly, courageous, and
profoundly sensible of his responsibilities
as legislator, we can conceive of no good
reason for supplanting him with another
His valuable previous experience would
largely increase his capacity for usefulness,
and his absence from the Legislature next
year would be loss to the entire State. II
the people of the fine old county he repre-
sents could realize what delightful i'm
preston he has given West Virginia of them
in the councils of the Commonwealth, we
believe that they would send him back
unanimously. We sincerely trust Mr.. Dan
bridge may be returned.-MonrOe Watch

have on hand the old St. George Chapel
Souvenir Spoon.
The ruins of old st. George Chapel are 1t
miles from Charles-Town and an object of in
terest. The Chapel is supposed to have been
erected as early as 1750-probably as late as
1760. 1t is mentioned in Hennings Statutes
ct Large as one of the Chapels more costly
than many others. The site, which is on the
lands of Col. II. b. Davenport, is supposed to
have been donated by Lord Fairfax. II issup-
posed to have been more elegant, hence more
costly, than others, because it was located near
where many wealthy Church of England peo-
pie lived who would take pride in out-doing
their neighbors in the size and magnifcence
of their houses Of worship. At any rate. the
present ruin was once grand in its time. The
walls were of stone quarried in the vicinity.
The other material is supposed to have been
brought from England. The roof was sheet
lead the window and door frames Of cedar
wood the floor in thing; the pews and pull
pit ia oak-elaborately carved. The soft,
grey old walls in summer time are ivy-hung-
bnt the Chapel, as pictured in the bowl of the
spoon, is winter scene-the venerable pile
surrounded by leahess trees and the graves OF
the olden-time covered with the beautiful
snow" For sale by.

Some 300 and odd cats are maintained by
the United States Government the cost Of
their support being carried AS regular
item on the accounts of the Post-ollice De-
partment. These cats are distributed among
about fifty po,tofiices, and their duty is to
keep rats and mice fran eating and destroy
ing postal matter and canvas mail sacks
Their work is one of the most importance
wherever large quantities of mail are col
lected as, for example, 1000 to 5000 bags
of mail matter are commonly stored away
in basement Formerly great damage was
done by the mischievous rodents, which
chewed holes in the sacks, and thought
nothing of boring clear through bags of let
tiers in a night Troubles of this sort no
longer occur since the official pusses keep
watch. Each of the postmasters in the
larger cities is allowed from IS to $40 year
for the keeping of his feline staff, sending
his estimate for "cat meat to Washington
at the beginning of each quarter.

This is what physician, who believes
more in heredity than in almost anything
else, said the other day 81 see Edison, in
an interview published in one of the papers,
said that to do away with the necessity Of
sleep is among the possibilities. Now, |
believe the Wizard was triAe joking when
he said that. But when he said sleep was q
habit that came into fashion before artificial
light was discovered, believe he was in
earnest. As the night is turned more into
day by the perfection OF lights, the habit
and necessity for sleep will be obviated.-
The hours given over to sleep will be grad
ually lessened from generation to genera
ton, until the time will come when we have
what / might call the open-eyed generation.
l believe almost every one will agree that
this generation is bit faster than the last
one. Well, it is simply the logical move
ment toward the end | predict. We are
handing down fewer hours sleep to our
children, who will leave smaller legacy TO
their offspring"

The Conscientious Farmer.

When was young man. said HoratiC
Seymour, there lived in our neighborhood q
farmer who was reported to be very liber-
al man, and was uncommonly upright in
his dealings. When he had any of the pro-
duce of his farm to dispose of, he made il
an invariable rule to give good measure
rather more than would be required of him.
One of his friends, observing him irequent-
ly doing SO, questioned him as to why he
did it. he told him he gave too much, and
said it was to his disadvantage. Now mark
the answer of this excellent man:
God has permitted me but one journey
through the world, and when | am gone
cannot return to rectfy mistakes"
The old famer's mistakes were Of the sort
he did not want to rectify.

admitted to be the standard, the
