Mrs Mary a. Livermore writes
in Success. eff girls education
is to fit her for gaining livelihood,
or to become an authority on any
subject, she must unfold, not trihe
in many directions, but to great
fullness and depth in at least one
direction. To know many things
inditferently is, as far as gaining a
livelihood is concerned, tantamount
to knowing nothing. To know
what not to study in order that she
may study some few things, or one
thing, to some purpose, is the wis
dom which every girl who is going
to make success in life must be
possessed Of The matter of elimi-
nation is far more important than
the matter of acquisition. Our
colleges are at fault in this. They
crowd too many studies into a
course. 1t is tendency which
ought to be checked"

This Popular Railroad IS Doing
a Big Passenger and Freight
Business.
Probably no railroad in the
countryIis more prosperous at this
time than our own K. & M. Rail
way. 1t is now doing a passenger
aud freight business larger than
ever before in the history of the
road, and in order to meet the de-
mands of the passenger traffic, new
coaches of the latest and best makes
have been ordered and will soon be
put on the road; and recently the
company placed an order for
some 1900 additional box and coal
cars, to accommodate the increas-
ing demands of shippers. The
coal hauling over this road to the
lakes, from the Kanawha Valley
mines is larger, than ever known, as
we'll as surprising, and the road is
now pushed to it's utmost capacity,
to furnish cars to the mines.
Dozens of trains loaded with the
Black Diamonds, pass over this
road to the lakes daily, and it is a
sight to witness the putting and
smoking of the big engines as they
pull up the grade to get on the
bridge, to GROSS into Ohio.
The Company has also recently
ordered half-dozen freight engines
of the very heaviest build, and they
will be put on the road about the
LIST of April.
AS soon as the weather will per-
nit, the present rails between here
and Charleston will be replaced
with much heavier rails, and the
road bed, bridges, trestles and cul-
verts put in the best condition.
When this is done it is expected to
make the run with express trains
from Point Pleasant to Charleston
in less than two hours. Our peo-
pie all rejoice at the prosperity of
the K. & NJ, and hope it may al
ways be prosperous, and popular
with the people living along the
line.

Secretary Gage is quoted as sny-
ing that Mr. Alarcum is an ass.
That is frank, ut least, and may be
conclusive as to the question in
volved in the Marcum controversy
But it still appears to leave open a
point upon which the people might
like some enlightment
For instance, if the administra-
ton, of which the Secretary is Il
member, appoints All ass to for
oign consulate, does the fact entitle
foreign Government to open the
official letters addressed to the al
legged donkey2 If SO, is it the as
inine character of the appointee, or
the asinine principle of selection
on which he got the place, that con.
fers that valuable privilege on a
foreign imperial world-power?
1t would seem important to have
this question cleared up b. cause in
that case it would increase the i'm
portance of some measure to pre-
vent the appointment of asses to
foreign posts. Yet, since the Mar
cum case came mp, we have learned

gates elected t. the Congressional con-

the delegates elected to the State con-
vention instructed to vote for either

the delegates will, of course, vote for
Lewis, but in case of it becoming evil
dent that Lewis chances are slight,
they will vote for Hall.
