A TOPsY.TURvY LAND.

The Chinese surname comes first in
stead of last.
The Chinese begin dinner with des
sert and end with soup and fish.
The Chinese shake their own hands
instead of the hands of those they
greet
The spoken language of China is not
written and the written language is
not spoken.
The Chinese launch their vessels
sidewise and mount their horses from
off side.
The Chinese do everything backward.
They exactly reverse the usual order
of civilization.
Books are read backward, and what
we call footnotes are inserted at tue
top of the page.
The Chinese dress in white at funer-
ais and in mourning at weddings,
while old women always serve as
bridesmaids.
Note, first, that the Chinese compass
point to the south instead of the north.
The men carry on dressmaking and
the women carry burdens.

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Jan. 19.-The
Daily Mail announces today that it has
been sold to The Tribune Company,
which is the name of the newly incor-
porated company, formed by James j..

some weeks ago for the purchase of the
Star-Tribune property, which latter is
in the hands of receiver and which
deal awaits an order of the court to
confirm the sale. The Daily Mail will
be taken possession of next Monday, by
its new owners and continued as at
present for few weeks, until the limo
type machines and other rnewmachinery
to be ordered arrived. When the new
plant is installed, the Daily Mail and
the Weekly and Sunday Star-Tribune

porators of the new company are w.

Press franchises. About s25, 900 will be
invested in the new enterprise.

Affects School Boards.

The election of memb bers of school
600 people in the state will be affected
if the bill of Senator Blake of Colum-
biana becomes law. 1t is especially
intended to apply to East Liverpool,
but is, nevertheless, general in char
acter. 1t provides that in cities of not
less than $4,000, there be elected seven
mem bers at large, instead of two, from
each ward, as at present, four of which
shall be elected for two years and three
for one year; thereafter there shall be
three for two years and four for three
years. In cities less than 10000, the
board shall consist of FIVE instead of
six mem bers the present number.

RIB REMOVED.
Young James Gallagher Recovering Nice
ly From a Surgical Operation.

Young James Gallagher Recovering Nice
ly From Surgical Operation.
Several days ago James Gallagher,
an eighteen-year.o old resident of this
city, underwent an unusual surgical
operation. He had been suffering from
pleuro- pneumonia and his condition
became so serious that his physician,
DR.. o. M. Willis, decided an operation
was necessary. Upon the chest cavity
being opened it was found filled with a
foreign fluid, 11S ounces of which was
taken away. The young mans heart
had been displaced and was beating on
his right side. A little later a second
quantityof the fluid was removed, a piece
of rib taken out and drainage tube in
serted in his chest. The patient rallied
nicely from the operation and has been
steadily growing better, the discharge
from the tube having almost ceased.
1t is expected that he will be sent away
to hospital, where he can be carefully
watched, and his perfect recovery will
no doubt follow.

To Repeal Garfield Law.

The Democrats, after the anxious
desire felt eyer since the opening OF
the session to repeal the Garfield law,
took the first step in that direction
Monday when Senator Finck intro
duced a bill to repeal the Garfield cor
rupt practice act put through two
years ago. Not even the courtesy of
permitting portion of it to stand was
permitted and it is to be torn out root
and branch if Senator Fincks bill goes
through,

Couldn't Resign.

While at Washington this week Gen.
Warner rendered his resignation as
president of the American Bimetallic
League, but, according to dispatches in
free silver papers, the other members
of the League raised such hullaballoo
about it that the General withdrew the
resignation. He leaves Washington
this week for trip South in search of
better health and incidentally to take
a squint at his gold mine.

THE REAL THING.
A Marietta Citizen Buys Gold Brick and
Finds it Very Valuable.

Finds 1t Very Valuable.
Mr.. c. r. Stevens, of this city, is just
now congratulating himself upon his
luck and the happy termination of a
business transaction that in the begin
ming seemed piece of foolishress.
Thirteen years ago, when Mr.. Stevens
was living in the East; he had a friend
who had overloaded himself with
western mining stocks. Being rinched
for money in crisis the overloaded
friend came to MIR. Stevens and offered
one hundred shares of $50 each in the
Ophir Needles Mining Co., of ophir,
Colorado, for $3.50 cash down. The
stock was not worth much at that
time, but Mr.. Stevens bought it as a
matter of pc, sonal friendship and gave
his friend the money, having little ex-
pectation of ever realizing upon it.
He took the certificate of stock as so
much almost worthless paper, and en-
closing it with deed of some real
property which he had purchased, sent
it to his home in New Hampshire.
The incident soon passed from his
mind, as he considered his $3.50 already
gone. A few days ago Mr. Stevens, de-
string to transfer the real estate pur-
chased in 1884, sent for the deed. He
received the document and with it the
long forgotten certificate of mining
stock. Out of curiousity he looked up
the standing of Ophir Needles and to
his amazement found it quoted at 1856
cents on the dollar. The net value of
the one hundred shares is therefore
over $4,000, which is certainly tidy
sum to be realized from gold brick"
In addition to this sum are the accrued
dividends, which may be supposed to
be large, on stock quoted at nearly
double its face value.
