Holmes History.

A special to the Wheeling Register
from Charleston says:
Zone of the changes that is contenl-
plated is that of disseminating the
use of Holmes history which is en-
tirely neutral between the North and
South in its treatment of the war, and
replacing it with one which will give
the rebels the devil" Holmes histo-
~ is altogether too tame to suit the
average West Virginia Republican. "
The young man who compounded
the above is either quite verdant or
else imagines that readers of the the
Register are fools. If we owned dog,
good, bad, or Indifferent, we would
be tempted to wager him that
he (the young man aforesaid, not the
dog never read a history of the
United States; that if one were pre-
scented to him he would not know
what to do with it. What a pity the
committee reported unfavorable on
the bill for a home for incurables.

IN 1EMORIAM.

DIED. In Winchester, Va, Sabbath

lingering illness, Mrs. Mary A. Kre

the 18th year of her age. Funeral ser
vice by Rev. l.. G. NJ. Miller, and inter
ment in Lutheran cemetery.
A mother in Israel has fallen before
the relentless march of Reaper Death,
and she has been gathered as the ri
pened wheat into the garner of the
Lords anointed Having passed the
line of three score and ten years of
earth life, she lays down the mortal
and puts on the immortal in better
land, where sickness and sorrow, sin
and death are never permitted to enter,
and where the pure in heart enjoy for
ever. their glorious home on the banks
of the River of Life that flows close by
the throne of her God.
A kind and indulgent wife and
mother, wise and prudenti in her affairs,
her virtues were many and her Chris
tan conduct beyond reproach. She
leaves a name without blenish-as
lamp to light the feet of others to
follow in her footsteps and glority the
Savior, whose meek and devoted fol-
lower she was known to be, especially
by those who knew her best.
A long and painful illness was borne
without murmur or complaint. A
perfect resignation to the Divine Will
she manifested in a remarkable degree,
and as she approached the cold River
of Death, she viewed its waters with
out pang, having her eyes fixed upon
the glorious realities of the heavenly
shore-the home of the righteous who
die in the Lord
She passed peacefully, on the morn
ing of the Holy Sabbath, to that better
life, relying upon the words of her
Savior, feeling that to her His words
were comfort and faith, and that the
promised haven of rest from the ills of
earthly life, was prepared and ready
for her occupancy forever, at Gods
right hand.
We.drop tear of regret over the
sundering of earthly ties of love and
affection but knowing that to the
departed one. to die was gain, we
temper our sorrow in the light of hope
of a blissful Immortality; that the
grave is but the opening door to heav-
en- to the heirs of eternal life who
have fought good fight, and now
rest from their warfare in that bright
land where darkness never obscures
the Masters face, and the weary
Christian pilgrim and soldier can lay
aside the armor of earthly warfare
with sin, and be forever at rest.
The Lord the righteous calls,
New life TO them is given;
They close their eyes on earth,
To open Them in heaven.

One of the amusing features OF
journalism is to notice how almost all
penny-a-liuers discuss the financial
question. Every one has an idea
and that idea is-in his mind-just
the thing that will bring order ont o
chaos, stop the expectation of gold,
assure good prices for commodities, in
short, inaugurate golden era.
The opinions of men who have made
the subject study a lifetime, who
arr in touch with the money kings O
the world, are off moment compared
to the crude undigested fancies of i'll
dividuals who scarcely ever earned ar
honest dollar in their lives, and who
if put to the test, could not formulate
financial plan for South Sea Island
ers with cocoanuts for currency.

Farmers, even those of Democratic

that free wool means at least 10 cents

corresponding or greater decrease in

Now 90 pounds is required. The diff

fall no word Of regret that their cause
was a lost one, but rather gloried in
the union of all the States-a union

He must have been pleased with
the reception given him, for he said:
