Virginia, Hon. HENRY MASON MATHEWS,
will be inaugursted in this city. The
inaugural ceremonies will take place at
the State House at IL o'clock meridian,

in this State. The oath OF office, under
the law, will be administered by Hon.
A. +. RAYMOND, President OF the
Supreme Court of Appeals, or in his
absence by Hon. THAYER MELVIN
Judge of the First Circuit. The
retiring Governor will deliver vale
dictory address to be followed by the in
augural address of the incoming execu-

terest, as in some manner, defining the
policy of the new administration for the
poyernment of the State during the next

accomplishments, and possesses the
confidence of his people. Under
such circumstances he has a fine.
field for displaying his worthiness of the
confidence which the people of West
Virginia have imposed in him, and We
predict for HIM a future full of honor
and usefulness both to himself and to the
State.


This evening the Governor will hold a
public reception in the Senate Chamber
of the capitol. The citizens OF the city
have also arranged for ball in the State
House in honor of the occasion.

West Virginia is contributing her
quota to the grand army Of Office seekers
now pouring into the national capital.
This army has grown into such vast
proportions that a competent observer
declares that it will take four years in
passing a given point. Never since the
days when the children of Israel march. .
ed out of the wilderness, and were
counted in as the possessors OF
the fat things of Canaan, has
there been such popular move
ment as that OF hungry office seekers
rushing toward Washington to occupy
and possess the fat places of the land.
They are getting thicker than locusts IL
Egypt, and just ss ready and willing to
devour the substance of the land as the
plagued insects were. II Is feared If the
exodus IS not stopped that there will not
be left enough able bodied men in the
country to plant the spring crops. The
most popular prize among the West Vir-
ginia politicians is the Wheeling post
office. Candidates for that position
are growing numerous. We have
heard of no real objection to the present
incumbent. But objections are not neces.
sary in such cases, and the applicants all
expect their superior qualifications to be
sufficient In the eyes of the new admins
tration to dlsplsce an old soldier and fill
the position by appointing some one who
gave evidence of his patriotism by stay
ing al home in the war, and sacrificing
all his relatives on the altar OF his
country.


The next position in popularity is
the pension agency, with the
chances IN favor of the genial
Major WRIGHT, provided that he
succeeds in inducing the President to
disregard the claims of the present in
cumbent, because of the latter's superior
knowledge on the subject OF capital pun
ishment. And there is Col. SWAMI, who
wants to fill Justice DAVIS place on the
Supreme bench. The Colonel probably
acquired his knowledge of law while
cutting notches on the gun-S,ock OF
Confederate scout. And Col. j. w.
DAVIS, OF Greenbrier, expects port
folio position. His qualifications for the
Cabinet position of Postmsster-General
having been acquired in the capacity
OF post-boy for Confederate
militia regiment during the
late war. General GoFF having been so
badly used up in the late gubernator'ai
contest, it is thought best to lay him aside
and fill his shoes with Wheeling sttor-
ney who never permits himself to be
worsted-becsuse he never tackles any
body.

their hearts set on HAYES nomination at

nominated. Yet we presume each OF
them had some private means OF commu-

1t is said that Spain is preparing to

increase of population is not immoral
and it is certain. After the poor have
struggled and labored and suffered TO
raise their male children, these govern

1t is immoral and criminal to teach the
poor how not to have more children
than they can support and educate, be-
cause such knowledge might interfere
with the noble and highly moral pastime
of war. The wicked female who made
an illegal and immoral effort to spread
such knowledge-how to prevent too
many births-eviderltly thought that
children had better never be born, than

AN ITALIAN TRAGBDY.-Five years
ago young actress made the acquain-
tanee, in Italy, of a Prince of an old
Florentine Family. The young pair
became much attached to each other,
and when the Prince went to Paris he
passed much of his time in the w0man's
company. About six months ago the
Princes father died, after urging his
son to relinquish the society of the ae-
tress. The young man complied, and
Informed her that he could see her IN
future, but rarely. She was distressed,
but, finding him mistaken in his resolu-
ton appeared to acquiesce. A month
ago he returned to Paris, and she sent
a request that he would dine and pass
an evening with her. He accepted,
and, after dining, they drove to the
Bois de Boulogne. 0n1returning she
dropped her fan from the carriage, and
he alighted to recover it. AS he did
she fired two shots from revolver at
herself, one of which took effect in her
breast. She handed her lover, as he
stood in horror at her head, sealed
package, which he placed hastily in his
pocket, and then he turned his atten-
tlon to her. She was taken to his resi-
denGe, and at last accounts was in 4
high fever and unconscious. The pack
age was handed to the Commissary Of
the Police, and found to contain a let
ter expressing the impossibIlity of liv-
ing without his affection, and her de-
termination to die.

TIE GOOD OPINIONS OF SENATOR'S ALREADY WON


by TELEGRAPH To THE TRIBCNE


WASHINGTON, March 7.-Vice-President Wheeler
presdes the Senate with dignity and skill This
only what expected of him, for while in the
House he was frequently called to the chair and
displayed extraordinary ability for the place. 1t
will take him little while to get familiar with the
peculiar rules of the Senate, and the peculiar habit
the Senators have of dlsregarding the rules and
doing business by courtesy; but he has already
shown such adaptation for his duties that the old
Senators greatly pleased with him. Succeeding
excellent President Mr. Ferry, it is more OF
triumph for him to meet the approval of the Senate
than it would have been had his predecessor been
one Of the many Inefficient presiding officers the
body has had.

The house was small, and located
in one of the many little street,
that are hidden from the public
eye by reason of their modest pre-.
tension. A constable stood outside
superintending the removal of {
load of well-worn household furni.
ture. AT the door was a woman
clasping to her frail breast a little
baby scarcely six months old. AT
her side and hanging on to her thin
skirts were three other children,
the eldest not above eight years OF
age. No one else was near. Not a
word was murmured as chair, bu-
reau, bed and table went out
through the narrow doorway and
on the cart that was backed up in
the front to receive the goods. The
face Of the mother was a picture of
sadness and despair. Her eyes we're
dimmed, her lips trembled, and the
little one at her breast seemed to
creep closer as the sighs of the
parent broke out now and then in a
heartrending manner. "0h, NAM
ma, don't let him take my horse,
don't let him take my horse, don't
let him take my horsew suddenly
exclaimed the eldest, a bright boy,
as he saw one of the men carrying
to the truck the defaced remnant
Of what was once a decent hobby
horse. "My little chair, my little
chair" cried another, a wee bit of
a girl; ooh! mamma, he's doin' to
take it away" 1t was pitiful
sight to witness, and the mothers
heart could not help making one
plea for the things her darlingS
craved. 1t was no use. Everything
was taken, and in a few moments
after the poor woman stood in the
center of what had once been a
cheerful parlor, now utterly desti-
tute, with only the cold, barren
floor meeting her gaze. In another
hour she and her little ones would
be turned into the streets, without
q friend, without food, without
shelter.

A Boy with - Transparent Head,


Ryebrews Under His Eyes. and


Other Interesting PecnlIayi 1es.


The Mazatlan Occidental, a Mex
lean paper, contains an account of
an extraordinary phenomenon in
human nature. The mother of
this living curiosity is named An
tonia Garcia, residing in Rosario,
State Of Sinaloa. Her husband is
Lorenzo Rodriguez, a native of
Ohapuderos, district of Conco-dia,
in the same State. About nine
years ago Antonio gave birth to
twins, boys, who still live. Two
years afterward she gave birth to
three children, all of whom had
reached a natural state. About a
year ago she gave birth to another
child, which promises to develop
into monstrosity. This boy child
was born at Copala, and as soon as
the phenomenon was known to ex-
ist the parents had good grounds to
believe that it would be stolen, so
they moved to Rosario. The child,
according to the story Of its pro-
genitors, was born without other
defect than having an indentation
on its skull in the shape of cross.
But shortly the head began to grow
enormously, and at the end of one
year was from twelve to fourteen
inches in diameter. The indenta-
ton in another sense may be said
to resemble a hand grenade in the
form of a cross, commencing at the
forehead and running back to the
nnca or nape of the neck. The
other part Of the cross extends from
ear to ear The indentations are
from two to three inches in width,
and slightly covered with hair. In
the night time, by putting a light
across the head, the brains and
other material can be plainly seen,
as if a lighthouse were shining
upon them. The eyelids of this
creature instead of being above the
eye are below and almost encircling
it, growing upward. The forehead
has almost disappeared on account
of the deformity Of the head. The
whole body is extremely rickety,
and the skin appears to stick to the
dry bones. The monstrosity weighs
a little over ten pounds, is healthy
and promises to live many years,
and is beloved by its parents.
