1t may have been only a friendly
visit to pleasant home on delight
full day, but to our mind it must have
been matter of more than passing
interest which brought Hon. Chaun-
cey Black aud Col. Lawrence Gardner
to Martinsburg ostensibly to inspect
Senator Faulkner's roastin ear patch
last Sunday.
We stand ready to wager cord Of
wood which we expect to get some
time on subscription, that certain
people were roasted as thoroughly as
the corn, for such urbane gentlemen
as the Senator and his two distin-
guished visitors are not in the habit
of holding Quaker meetings. But
who is going to find out who or what
they talked about2 There's the rub

What promises to be the great
aquatic event Of the year will shortly
occur. The yacht race for the Ameri-
cas- Cup which has heretofore inter
ested so many people gives promise
of being fully as exciting as ever
before. Our friends across the water
have built magnificent yacht, the
Valkyrie III, which is said to be SUI
perior to anything ever constructed
by British, workmen, and in a close
contest has easily beaten the best OF
the British yachts.
At home, the Defender recently
launched is said by good judges to be
not only thing of beauty but able
to show her heels to anything the
British can construct.

Endeavorers in Boston.

The recent convention of the Ep-
worth League at Chattanooga, Tenn,
attended by more than IS, 900 young
Methodists, 1000 of whom on Look
out Mountain joined in singing
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
is this week duplicated by another
| convention of the same character, but
on larger scale at Boston. At least
so, 900 delegates will attend while tens
of thousands of visitors will accom-
pany them. This is probably the
largest gathering of Christian people
which ever occurred in this country
and conveys to the mind in the most
unmistakable manner the fact that
the Young Peoples Society of Chris
tian Endeavor is no myth but glori-
Gus reality. The organization origin
ated rs years ago with the young
people of a single church i'll Maine.
1t now numbers 2.4oo, 600 and is in
creasiug more rapidly than at any
previous true. They come from
every country on the globe though a
large majority are in the United
States.
These societies incl1de both sexes
who meet and work on equal terms
which fact contributes largely to their
success.
The principal feature of the Boston
meeting will be an open air demon
stration on the Common at which
speeches will be made on the hill
where the soldiers monument stands
while the chorus of ), 900 trained voices
will lead the singing OF patriotic
HYMNS.

Senator Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, catches the right idea when he
says he is quite as much opposed to
the gold recommendation of President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle as
he is to free silver coinage by the
United States alone. Indeed, if the
choice is to be forced between the
single gold standard and the single
silver standard, he is not in favor of
the former. He believes the Republi-
can party will be able to secure and
perpetuate bimetallism when restored
to political power in all branches OF
the government, and adds: "If these
views are treason to the cause of safe
currency, let the most be made Of
them"
