CARRYING THE MEASURE.

saddle bag. The most convenient means
natural impulse is to lift the pair of
bags is slung across horses back, is
to place in the unoccupied bag a good
sized cobble stone. So arranged the
load sits easily and securely. In re-
moving the burden, either after or be-
fore arrival at the journeys end, the
natural impulse is to lift up the pair of
bags by the connecting strap. And
the natural consequence of the proceed
ing, unless precautionary measures are
taken, is sharp collision between the
jug and the cobble stone. Inevitable as
is the loss of the jugs priced contents,
it is safe to say that the accident oc-
ours in a good half of the cases where
liquor is carried in this manner. The
mountaineer simply forgets the danger
until too late. His ancestors did the
same, and his descendants will con-
tinue to do so as long as his type en-
dures.
The attention of a traveller in the
panhandle of Virginia was called to a
mountaineer in the act of fording the
Rappahannock. The stream was high
so high that the lnountaineer, in or
der to keep his legs dry, had them
crossed in front of him on his horses
shoulders. The noticeable feature of
his appearance was the extreme care
with which he kept his hold on cer-
tain point on light pole about ten
feet long which he carried. From the
position of his thumb it appeared that
he was keeping certain measurement.
This conjecture proved correct. It
was learned the same evening that the
mans wife had died, and that he, hav-
ing measured her length on the pole,
was carrying the measure to 12-mile-
distant undertaken. "a man on any
other part of the EARTH" the traveller
commented, "would, if he hadn't pen
ell, have cut the pole off at the proper
length; at least, have notched it. But
the system of thought of your Virginia
mountaineer is as simple as his habits"

A doctor in Paris has succeeded in
winning fame and many well-paying
clients by telling the people of that
capital that an illness much like the one
produced by ocean travel is often the
result of looking long and intentlv
across the footlights of theater. So
far as known, this malady had never
hitherto forced itself upon the atten-
ton OF the ParlsIenne, any more than
upon that of the Inhabitants of other
cities, but when their attention was
called to the matter scores OF them
suddenly discovered that they had long
suffered from glddiness produced In
just this way. Naturally enough they
sought relief from the doctor who had
revealed their sufferings to them, and,
as naturally, he succeeds in effecting a
cure in every instance after more or
less prolonged course OF treatmRnt. This
Is obviously real good scheme, and
young doctors elsewhere, II there are
any who haven't all the reputation and
practice they desire, might well con-
slider the advisabllity of initiating the
Frenohman's example. Most of the
old hackneyed diseases are more or less
troublesome to manage, but by devisIng
new and special malady OF his own
a task of no special difficulty in these
days-each medical man ought to find
the road to wealth short and easy.

The West Virginia Bar publishes the
following amenie honorable;
THE Bar was led ina very unjust
criticism Of Governor Atkinson in the
matter Of appointing a female notary
public. But we lay the responsibility at
the doors OF the newspapers, which. so
far as the Bar has observed, have left
that matter unexplained to this day
and we have read both the Republican
and Democratic papers with some care.
1.-THE simple fact, as we now under
stand II, Is, that Governor Atkinson is
sued a notary's commission to person
who had been satisfactorily recommend
ed 10 him, but whose sex was not dis
closed by the name and OF which he was
ignorant, When he discovered that the
person was female, he at once annulled
the appointment. and no harm was
done"
The Bars correction of its criticism is
proper but another amende honorable is
due from 1t for its sweeping reference to
the newspapers, It should except the In
tellIgencer at least. This paper very
promptly made the explanation of the
circumstances Of the appointment, and
it was copied in a number of the state
papers, several weeks since
A partisan criticism of the governor in
connection with the matter appeared in
a partisan contemporary of this city.
but after the explanation appeared in
these columns that paper ignored II, and
to this day its readers do not know that
It's criticism was unjust.
