The Republican leaders have
been relying on the precedent OF
Gen. Wheeler, of AIab ma, Con
gresham Colson, of Kentucky. and
Representative Campbell, Of Hi
n9ls, serving in Congress and the
Volunteer Army both, as an ex-
ample to go by in the case Of Pier
son and Getzendanner, from this
State, who have been serving in the
army and trying to hold their seats
in the Senate both, bat now at
very opportune time comes the de-
cision of the Republican judiciary
Committee Of the National House
OF Representatives in the cases OF
the above Congressman, deciding
unanimously that these gentlemen
are NO longer entitled to seats in
Congress, because of their accepting
commissions in the army. This
ought to settle the matter.

STUDENTS MUST STUDY.
No Blockheads or Loafers Kept In the
University.

MoRGANTowN, W. VA, Jan. g..
Seventy five students were sus.
pended from the University here
for failing to make the required
average of sixty in the recent ex
aminations. They raised great
row because they were not notified
and thus saved the expense OF
coming buck hero for school. A
number have been reinstated,
others will be left out for but one
term. Some very prominent stu
dents are included in the order.
A member of the State Senate, two
captains in the Cadet corps, and
thirteen ladies are included :.
Twenty five percent. of some classes
were suspended.
The action has aroused a great
deal OF talk. Some Of the sus =
pended students are members of
prominent families and wat may
result is unknown and hard to tell.
1t is quite probable that several
more will be reinstated.

PUNCTUATION.

! Notwithstanding its great impor-
ta.ce punctuation was not u>e by
| the .rce,<s The Rom AZ, or any OF tie
oriental nations OF antiquity; and to.

Th- invention OF oar present svstea.

The first punctuation consisted of a
point u,ei three WAYS and a stroke
variou>ly formed. and the design of
the system was purely grammatical
beyond removing am biguity in mean
log.
Some years ago punctuation marks
were improperly used in regard to
enunciation or reading. Teachers then
Instructed their pupils To- mind their
pauses in reading SO as TO stop long
enough at u comma to count one. semi

six. But this was all wrong, and al
though punctuation marks may some
times denote not only pauses but even
tones of voice which are required by
the sense OF the sentence and TIN. pro-
annexation of the words for correct and
tasteful reading requires no pluses to
be made where punctuation marks are
placed, and pauses of cor sidera ble
| length at places where there are no
marks.
The object of punctuation is to make
the meaning clear and give precision
to the entence, while it's marks are
mainly designed "to mark the gram

The misplacing of comma once lost

By correct punctuation we get the
true meaning.
Every lady in this land
Hath twenty nails: Upon each hand
FIVE; and twenty on bands and feet"
Quite number Of works have been

and they give from 40 TO 100 rules. But
whoever would learn To punctuate well
must practice ON the sentence and

claim it was accidental, but that
makes no difference. When one
