LEWIS COUNTY TEACHERS.

Weston, w. Va, August 10, 1885,
The Lewis County Teachers Institute
which convened at Weston on Mon
day last adjourned this evening. Near
men largely predominating. 1t was
conducted by Prof Roster of Fair
mont, and Prof. Outright, of Buck
harmon, and was a great success in
every feature. The instructors both
have the happy faculty of leading as
well as instructing, and a great many
of the teachers took part in interest
ing and profitable discussions during
the entire institute. The subject OF
history and how to teach it was given
especial prominence during the first
part of the week, while language and
literature came in for especial atten-
ton in the latter part. All of these
subjects with others as well were ably
presented by the instructors and
widely discussed by the teachers. In
the consideration of local history in
its different phases some interesting
information was given. A very cred
liable paper on the formation and
early history of the county was read
by Perry G. Alfred, one of the Lewis
county teachers.
On the last day of the institute con-
siderable discussion was provoked by
the statement of Prof Outright that
it was a question in his mind whether
or not the United States legally had
bo ricrb n in
when it did. There was some division
of opinion in the institute and some
caustic retorts and high flights OF ora
tory were occasioned. r. V. Child
lister, G. NJ. Chidister and w.
w. Hughes were inclined to the
opion Of Professor Outright, whiIe
Thomas |. Cummings. Perry G.
Alfred and A ]. Ksnper dissent
ed therefrom, and all gave some Ct
their most potent reasons for their
faith. The question of foreign terri
tory was touched upon and it seemed
to develop an opposition TO any such
lang grabbing policy. Attorney Ne
Worter, of Lewisburg Greenbrier
county, being present, was called up
on at this juncture and delivered a
very eloquent address on the results
of the war and its effects upon us at
home. The most excellent sentiment
contained in his short talk was very
fitting close to this patriotic discussion
and the contest very wisely ended
here.
Excellent programmes were render
ed during the week, on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings.
The event of the occasion on Thursday
evening was the lecture at the Opera
House of DR.. Raymond, Of the Univer-
sity. Subject, "The New Aristocracy"
This was an able lecture and greatly
appreciated by the extremely large
number in attendance.

CITY AND HARBOR OF PONCE.
Ponce Porto Rico, August 19.-De-
layed in transmission)-A war of re-
taliation against the Spanish residents
of the island within the American lines
is Observation-Disclosures for the hor-
rible outrges committed by the Span
ish troops at GALES, where over eighty
persons are said to have been macheted
by the soldiers.
The revolving details of the butchery
of men, women, the ravishing Of young
girls, and nameless mutilations have
stirred a cry for vengeance.
Early this morning the natives burn
ed the town of Gotta, seven miles from
here. The Spanish residents fed for
their lives. Throughout the surround
ing country Spaniards are terror
stricken and are appealing to the
lOl plOlSttlOh.
The shops kept by Spaniards here
which were opened after the signing
of the peace protocol, have been closed
again through fear of the rioters.
To-day's editions of two papers
which Historically demanded vengeance
and the expulsion of all Spanish-born
residents, were suppressed by the mil
itary authorities who are doing all
that it is in their power to do to allay
the fears of the Spanish inhabitants.
The natives who are fomenting the
trouble are of the lowest classes and
many of them are criminals, Over
twenty-five of the ringleaders in the
disturbances have been arrested.
The report that Concho arrived here
yesterday was an error.
The harbor is filled with transports
and the unloading Of cargoes proceeds
all day long. Lighters, laden with
horses, mules and provisions as we'll
as ammunition and all kinds of army
equipments, are constai- passing
from the steamers to the shore Great
piles of boxes. containing stores of
every description, occupy the wharves
and warehouses. In the town proper
horsemen and the sidewalks are crowd
ed at all hours. From 10 o'clock in the
morning until in the afternoon the
heat is intense, but the evenings and
nights are cool and delightful. Moth
ing but American sentiment is heard
on the streets or in the cafes. Every
where the soldier-officer or private
is king. The blue ribbons fiutter from
the costumes of Porto Rico's charm
ing daughters, and everywhere, and at
all times, cries of Long live the
Americans" greet the ears of passing
soldiers. Away from the heat and dust
of the town, cut beyond the limits of
the main camp and along both sides of
the military road, lies country rich
and beautiful. Hills and valleys are
covered with green. Here and there
are streams of water, along whose
dreds of acres of cane are in view all
the time and from every plantation
rises the tall brick chimney of the
sugar mill.
There is no biting frost of New Eng
land or wind-swept Kansas or Nebras-

iona or New Mexico. 1t is a land
which the American farmer could turn

Sells Rum to the Hea,hen.

The recent voyage Of a certain brig
from Boston to the gold coast Of Africa,
as described for publication by her cap
tain, Is interesting reading. 1t wiz
doubtless interest the tempera nee and
missionary societies to know that the
brig left Boston laden with 10 hogs
heads Of rum for the little-known gold
coast. Although she took some Other
articles, most Of the profits Of the voy-
age were to come from the rum. So
utterly primeval Is this Isolated part
Of the African coast that the cargo had
to be landed through the surf from the
vessel. Through some remarkable
aboriginal instinct the natives scented
the cargo almost before the brig was
In sight, and as soon as she was at an
choE dived through the waves like hun.
cry sharks.
Among the interesting facts about
the African natives related by the cap
tain Is that since there are no beasts Of
burden and no conveyances on the gold
coast the barrels of rum are rolled in
land by hand, so that liquor has thus
been rolled hundreds Of miles into the
country. 1t Is further related that the
natives have become so infatuated
with rum carried from various coun-
tries to their coast that a vessel which
proposes to have cargo landed must
carry II as currency. or no business eau
be done. Gold is a deprecated currency
as against rum on the lonely coast The
wonderful 4,OOO-mile voyage of this
brig to the gold coast with 10 hogs
heads OF New England rum offers soma
most interesting suggestions for mis-
sionaries and temperance reformers to
ponder.-BostOn Globe.

a Floating Home.

Practically the captain and his wife
make their home in the cabin Of the
bark: and a comfortable home, too, says
New York Sun. Upon the walls Of the
main room of this cabin, which is q
room of spacious dimensions, there are
two pictures of the bark itself. These
are distinctly nautical; but, aside from
them, the furnishing of the room Is
such as might bc seen In any room de-
Soted to like purposes ashore. In an
,lcove on one side is piano; upon the
other side is a sofa. In the center Of
The room Is a table, upon which there
are books and sewing, and here in port,
where the ship stands on an even keel,
vase of flowers. The room Is lighted
at night by a lamp like q piano lamp,
with a broad, spreading shade, but
which, instead of being upheld by a
standard with feet resting on the floor.
IS here suspended from the deck beams
running across under the skylight over
head. There are here deep upholstered
armchairs and other easy chairs, and
there are rugs on the floor. 1t Is q
homelike and attractive room.
Forward of this room Is the forward
cabin, which is also the ships dining
coom. The mizzenmast comes down
through that end of the fixed table, Civ
Ing to this cabin a decidedly marine
touch. Opening off the main cabin there
are a number of rooms, including the
captains room, which is of ample size.
There is here also room for the cap
tain's daughter, who sometimes sails
with him. AS is customary on Ameri-
ran deepwater ships, there are two or
three staterooms for D.. nngers, who
are carried when they offer. On her
last voyage to Africa this vessel carried
three passeD gers.
The captain sailed for many years:
he Is acquainted in ports all around the
world, and wherever he goes there Is no
lack of social life for himself and his
wife. They have more invitations
ashore than they can accept, and they
entertain guests aboard the ship, which
Is indeed their floating home; but that
they do not forget their home ashore

What q Recent Discovery Reveal

What . Recent Discovery Reveals.
The Smithsonian institution has re-
ceived a collection which is of impor-
tance to the archeologist.
1t Is known as the Seton-karr con-
tribution, having been discovered by
this Englishman in Somaliland, on the
eastern coast Of Africa. The imple-
ments were purchased from the discov-
erer by the Smithsonian Institution.
There are about fifty pieces in the col
lection, made of flint or quartide, and
ranging in size from an inch or so In
length to half a foot, some weighing
several pounds. The objects are SUP
posed to be spear heads, battle axes and
wedges, truncheons, bludgeons. OF
whatever they may be termed.
The discoverer had this to say on the
snbiect of his find and the locality
where the objects were unearthed:
Certain landmarks as to the four
rivers mentioned in Genesis led me TO
think that the Garden of Eden, II IL
eyer existed, may have been here, ana
that these very tools had been made
and used by Adam and his numerous
descendants. At any rate. my discov-
cries In Egypt and Somaliland lead me
to the idea that mans original home,
or the place where lie was gradually
evolved. must have been in Africa, or,
st least, in a tropical land, where
clothes were unnecessary and food
plentiful to hand"
