An extended session of the legis-
lature IS anticipated in view of a
press of business and the probabili-
ties of lengthy debates and strategic
moves concerning the Senatorial
fight. A repetition of the ''protract-
ed meet n liz 1886 when eleven
Democrats refused to vote for Ex-
Senator johnson n. Camden, will
create little if any surprise: rather
it is looked for.

1t sounds like tale of the unbe-
lieveable, but part of the Richie
county oil-producing territory-and
the richest, too-sold over sixty
years ago for seven cents an acre.
In 1887, 1000 acres of land in Wood
county, which at that time included
Richie, was sold at auction in Par
kersburg to Mr.. McGregor, who is
still living, for $3.50. There may
have been nicer things picked up,
but fewer than that strike at seven
cents an acre.

Evil Eye and Its Power.

Some tourists wandering about the
streets of Moorish town not long since
were much surprised by their guide
suddenly drawing them within door
way and pushing them back under its
shadow, while he also stepped within.
A number of persons passed by in the
street, apparently differing in nowise
from those met at every turn, but when
they were we'll out of sight the guide,
allowing the travellers to emerge again,
pointed to their disappearing forms,
saying, 1.-THE evil eye" in most awe
struck tones, and then, touching the
posts of the door, ON which were noticed
two hands painted in brilliant red and
green, one ON each side of the doorway,
he said:
"This is to turn away the influence
of the evil eye. 1t is charm which
must be always seen on the front door
of house if you would wish the harm
to pass by
When questioned as to the power of
the evil eye and how persons become
possessed of it, the guide could tell
nothing coherent. 1t is thus with the
Italian peasants, who wear about their
necks tiny ~ieces of coral and believe
that they are safe from that same in
fuence. 1t is known that the belief in
the evil eye is older than history itself,
and even some learned men have had
faith in il.

Speaking of laundries," said Chi
cago woman who was entertaining
friends, 81 had most amusing instance
once of trying to obtain laundry serv-
ice, and it was in the kingdom of the
Celestial laundrymen, tool mean his
American kingdom-W Washington.
Tell us about ii" entreated her
friends, and Mrs. B. said:
II was visiting in Washington, and
not only had seen the ordinary, every
day Chinaman in his stronghold, but
had been at the White House on a re-
ception day when the members of the
Chinese legation had paid their respects
to the president. l was charmed by
their gorgeous apparel, the length and
variety of their pigtails and their genu-
Elections. On Sunday l attended the
Chinese gathering in the @ Street Meth
odist church and saw the Chinaman
studying the Bible with pretty Ameri-
can girl for teacher. He was dressed in
full Chinese costume of silk or satin
and made picture, and he was obedi-
ent, but shy"
"Who were the teachers" asked one
of Mrs. B. s guests.
"The daughters Of senators and con-
gressmen, some of the fair society girls
of Washington, and is it any wonder
that now and then a Chinaman fell
hopelessly in love with his teacher and
embarrassed her by presents of live
ducks and other tokens of his affection?
Well, l promised my Washington
friends to give my laundry to a China
man, and one particular Chinaman at
that, and one day, happening to be out
alone, l stopped at the laundry in ques
ton and saw the identical Sam Che
Lung to whom had been introduced
the preceding Sunday, He was not
dressed i'll his womanish finery for bust
ness, but looked a very ordinary Celes-
tial The dialogue which followed was
something like this:
Who are YOU?
81 gave my name and told him where
had seen him.
Where live?
81 mentioned the private hotel where
he was to send for my landry.
Me not knowy.
~'Then he handed me printed cirou-
lar, which gave in English the price
per dozen, and, pointing with Il broad
yellow forefnger to a conspicuous line
at the foot of the list, walked off and
left me. 1 got out ON the street as
quickly as possible and then perused
that line. 1t read:

Sinecures In Brazil.

"Some time ago., " says San Paolo
(BraziD paper, "a general was sent to
one of the northern states to investigate
the management of government rail
road. He belonged to the set of men
who had made themselves obnoxious by
their endeavors in the service of reform,
and here are some of his experiences:
The very first day he found in one of
the rooms of railroad station strong
y0ung man who was doing nothing
Thinking the young fellow had come
to see him, he asked, DO you wish any
thing, my friend? No, sir; | am en-
ployed here. so? What are your du-
ties?' L have to fill the water jugs in
the office every day.
"The general was little astonished.
In the next room he discovered another
ablebodied young man smoking ciga-
rette. Are you an employee?" he asked.
Yes, sir; l am the assistant of the gen
tleman in the next room
But that was nothing to what was
to come. The general had already been
informed that the road employed Is en-
gineers, while only eight were working.
He ordered that in future these men
should at least take turn about The
next day one of these engineers, a
beardless youth came to him and told
him that he could not run locomotive
to save his life. Then how did you get
on the pay roll?' We'll, you see gen.
eral, it's this way: My family are poor,
but wanted to study law. We've got
some pull, so l managed to get an APP
pointment as honorary engineer, to
make living while pursue my
studieS. "

Glorious Sleep.

l confess to you that my one wish is
to serve this generation, not to antag-
onize it, not to damage it, not to rule
it, but to serve it. l would like to do
something toward helping unstrap its
load, to stop its tears, to balsam its
wounds and to induce it to put foot on
the upward road that has at it's termi-
nus reclamation rapturous, and gates
pearline, and garlands amaranthine
and fountains rainbowed, and domin-
ions enthroned and coroneted, for can.
not forget that lullaby in the closing
words of my text, David, after he had
served his own generation by the will
of God, fell on sleep. " What lovely
sleep it was Unfilial Absalom did not
trouble it. Ambitious Adonijah did not
worry it. Prosecuting Saul did not har-
row it. Exile did not fill it with night
mare. Since a redheaded boy amid his
fathers flocks at night he had not had
such a good sleep. At 20 years of age
ne laid down to it. He had had many a
troubled sleep, as in the caverns of
Adullam or in the palace at the time
his enemies were attempting his cap-
ture. But this was a peaceful sleep. a
