Coaching Party.

On last Wednesday Charles Town
was put in II furry by the arrival of
a coaching party from "Pagebrook,"
in Clarke county, Va, the beautiful
colonial home of Mr.. Charles II.
Mullikin. The handsome and costly
coach was drawn by MIR. Mulikiu's
prize winning span of bay beauties.
The appointments were complete in
every respect. The party consisted Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles II. Mullikin.
Mrs. W. II. Barnett, Miss Knapp,
Miss Randolph, the Hon Charles
Virgins and Mr.. f. G. Butler.
Their visit was short aud pleasant,
and the object of it was to look ut
"ClaymOnt Court" where they were
CO. daily received and enter tanned by
Mrs. Frank II. Stockton. The Hon.
Mr.. Virgins is st. Louis multi
millionaire, land it is hoped he will like
"Claymont" sufficiently to purchase
it. Mr.. Virgins is quite noted
character, having been one of the
few st. Louis councilmen who would
not accept bride. He will be a
valuable acquisition to jefferson
county, and we welcome such an one
to it should he determine to buy
"Claymont." The Charles Town
Advocate.

offer in sspirit of manly patriotism.
He proposed to submit all differ
ences to arbitrators to be chosen by
the President. On the other hand, the
Mine owners aud Operators refused
absolutely to recognize the labor or
CARNATIONS.
II would be well for the Coal Barons
to read up on history, and they will
find that occasions abound, where the
rights of great peoples have been
Ignored by the wealthy aud powerful
beyond the point of endurance.
Popular uprisingS have resulted, aud
the people have abolished the condi-
tions that make such treatment
possible. Labor has rights, as well as
capital; and when capital refuses to
recognize this fact, and by its refusal
undertakes to destroy the peace and
comfort of n great Nation, legislation
should be had to make such action
impossible IN the future. Whether
CHS can be done by Government
ownership of the mines. or Govern
mental control, remains to be seen.
But, at present, it appears that
handful of capitalists have it within
their power To canse suffering to mil
lions of people. The terrors of these
sutferlngs are not appreciated At this
time. When the winter is full upon
us, and the harm done beyond con
troll, then we will hear of deaths and
dlscomforts, that will be Just as
AS the ravages of cruel
war.

Tragedy Averted.

a horrible accident was narrowly
averted on Monday morning through
the bravery of Mr.. III. W. Baker,
whilst the passenger trsius were
passing at the Norfolk and Western
depot. Mrs. Gen. Charles Thurman,
while waiting to take one of these
trains, was standing on the switch,
and had not noticed that one of the
trains had come in on the siding.
The train WAS coming in at a mod
crate rate of speed, when Mr.. Baker
noticed Mrs. Thurman's position on
the track. He jumped from the
platform, and quickly pushed her
from u front of the incoming engine.
A moments delay might have cost
the lady her life, aud certainly serious
injury.

Bottle and a Scrap of Paper.
WEST BRooKsvILLE, Jan 30 (spseisll--
In July last, three miles southeast from
Monomoy point, Massachusetts,, there
was picked up by a fisherman belonging
in Dennisport, Mass, sealed bottle
ineiosing paper on which was written
the following:
This bottle was thrown overheard from the
ship Hattie Z. Tapley'. of Bangor, Capt.
Robert rapley, April Is. 1874. Latitude 81

Inquiries have since been made from
Dennisport, OF some one in Bangor, to
know If there was ever ship bearing the
above name haiiing from that port.
The ship Hattie E. TapIey" was built
In Brewer (where Stetson's plant now Isl

In 1878 and 1874, the ship was still

ember 20, 1878, for Basin, India. arriving
there February rs, 1874. She sailed from
thence March II, rice loaded, to Fal-
mouth, Eng, for orders.
The paper picked up from the sea last
July looks sere with age, the writing
someThat faded, and bears evidence OF
the tweDty-scven years journey. Who
threw that bottle into the sea? 1t was
not done by myself. II was not done by
the second mate, II. W. Tapiey, who is
now hesd-keeper at the fog signal station
on the Cuckolds; neither was 1t done by
the steward, Albert Mills, who is at the
present time, head lig hit keeper at Goose

amined the writing found.

that the bottle was thrown over board 20

German sailor who was on board at the
time, and who made wild guess as to
The ships position somewhere in the
Indian ocean. On April IS, 1874, we must
have been well up with or to the west
ward Of Madagascar, for we had strong
northeast monsoons out of the bay of

Have you heard the tale of Lazy-L Lad
Who dearly loved to shlrk,
For be s'kated'' his lessons and "hated" his ias
And be "hated" to have to work?
So he sailed away on a summer day
Over the ocean blue;
said Lazy Lad. II will seek tn find
The land of Nothing .to-do."
So Lazy Lad he sailed to the west,
And then to the east sailed he,
And he sailed north and he sailed south
Over many league of sea,
And many a country fair and bright
And busy, came into view;
But never. alas. could he End the coast
OF the land of Nothing -to-do.
Then Lazy Lad sailed back again,
And a wiser lad was he,
For he said, give wandered to every land
That is in the geography.
And In each and all I've found that folks
Are busy the whole year through.
And everybody In every place
Seemed to have something TO do.
So II must be the best way after all.
And mean to stay on shore
And learn my lessons, and do my tasks,
And be Lazy Lad no more.
The busiest folks are the hsppiest.
And what mother said was true.
For I've found out there Is no such place
AS thu land Of Nothing to do"
