A Iishop's Prediction.

Bishop Butler, In n remarkable sermon
preached in I4l before the house of lords,
predicted thai tho then prevalent spirit OF
irrelig.Dn would thereafter produce politi-
cal and social disorders similar TO and
quite as dcl lorabo as those which had
been produced by religious fanaticism in
the preceding century.
The event very speedily proved the cor
rcctncss OK this prediction.
John Knox. the roformer, would seem
10 have possessed I'm no ordinary degree
the spirit OF prediction and TO have fore
told with accuracy not only certain re-
markable cyelts OF public importance but
also the ultimate fate OF certain individ-
uals.
Thus, whoa condemned 10 the galleys st
Rochelle, he took his sentence with tbs
greatest con- posurc, merely remarking
that in spite uf IL he would within two
or three years preach the gospel In St.
Giles, Edinburgh" This prediction, most

it was uttered, was afterward literally full

A TeNOERFooT IN TEXAS.
Shot With p,s Own 'Gun." Compelled to
Drink, Arrested and Fined.

"Northern men were scarce in Texas in
1879, " said the Chicago man, who was
afterward Texas rangor, land not par
ticularly well liked by the native Texans,
rs they called themselves. When j left
Chicago for Texas, hnd provided myself
with formidable weapon in the form OF
a .22 calibcr revolver, and bad no doubt
that would be able TO cope with the most
bloodthirsty adversaries. Arriving at my
destination, i soon began TO form ac-
quaintances among the citizens Of the city
in which had taken up my temporary
residence.
"Strolling into the palatial saloon
known as the Glass Front one evening

cowboys and deputy sheriffs, and the con-
versation drifted To the subject OF guns,
as shooting weapons are called in Texas.
BY the way, in Texas at the time / speak
of the only persons legally entitled TO car
ry weapons were sheriffs marshals and
their deputies and rangers, and every bad
man who wanted 20 shoot somebody would
generally have influence enough 10 get ap-
pointed as a deputy of some kind or other.
The most reputable portion of the popula-
ton WIS therefore debarrcd from carrying
weapons, ard was therefore at the mercy
Of any licensed thug. AS i said before,
tho subject of conversation was guns, and
with considerable pride 1 displayed my
silver mounted and ivory handled pistol
and asked for an opinion as TO its merits.
The gun was passed from hand to hand,
each grizzlod deputy looking mt 1t with
the greatest curiosity.

asked.

hamper, and more than once found myself
wondering how my companion dared at
tempt the trip.
"Pooh, pooh" he said in answer TO one
of my questions concerning his ability TO
get through the performance crodtably.
"Pooh, pooh, sir. have scaled the Him

the sahara on foot. Why sir, could run
up little hill like Tamalpais blindfolded
and not even pause TO wipe my forehead. "
We said no moro on the subject and
finally reached Larkspur, where we began
to make the ascent
AT the station the thermometer regis
tered 20 degrees, but by the time we had
finished the first quarter Of the ascent it
seemed about thousand.
Presently we arrived at point about
half way up the mountain, and the major
suddenly came to halt. He again waved
his arms about and then sat down.

mopping his brow.

for three hours it dawned over me that /
was making absolutely no progress, though
at first was at loss TO understand tho
reason.
Happening, however, to stand still for
one moment, found that the glacier was
slowly slipping from beneath my feet, and
that, although had been going through
the motions OF walking, in reality had
made no progress whatever. L therefore
commenced walking in direction at a

Another attempt was made to burn
the Quiet Dell school house Sunday.
As a Mr. Cottrill was riding along
the road he discovered the large
stable belonging to John Barnes to
be on fire, and Immediately gave the
alarm, when several men came to his
assistance. mho, by their heroic eff
forts, saved the building from being
burned. The barn is located near
the school house, and it is supposed
that the barn was fired with the in
tention OF burning this building, and
that it is the work Of some cowardly
fiends who have grievances against
the compu sorry school law This is
the second attempt within the past
few weeks to burn the Quiet Dell
school house, and it is high time
that some action was taken to catch
the develish culprits and bring them
to justice.-CiarksburQ Telegram

application at present constituted,
will not be passed on by the February
term. of Court What will be done is
to give legal notice of an election for
the purpose of allowing the residents
OF the proposed town to pass. on the
question. This must be done in a
certain prescribed way. Should all
legal forms be strictly followed and
the majority required by law favor it,
the Court has no option, but must di-
rect the clerk to issue the proper in

Seneca will not be incorporated as a
preliminary to coming into Morgan
town. They are unalterably opposed to
any such a move. Whatever may be our
position in the matter makes no
difference. They do not wish, and
will not be compelled to become part
of Morgantown for years to come.
