f irginia Jtte i’tess. IF. W. B. GALLAHER, Editor._ Charlestown. Jeff eroon County. Weot Va. \oicmber 1C,. 1S9J Senator Kenna ha* beeu very ill for some day* at hi* residence in Washington. Now the Republicans claim that the Democrat* didn’t let them know there wa* to be an election. That’s plausible in the light of event*. - .. ■ --- A giant sewing machine ha* lately been finished in Leeds, Euglaud. The machiue, which is to be used for attaching cotton belting, is said to weigh ton*. The Republicans were not defeated on the tariff or any National issue, but on a religious school question in Illinois.—J/ur ttnsburg Herald. Did that ‘‘religious school question in Il linois” deleat them in Indiana, Wisconsin, New York, Connecticut, West Virgiuiaand Ohio ? _ Hurrah for Feidt! Beat Stuart Walker 109 in “Senator Faulkner’* own county.”— Martintburg Herald. The smallest majority received by any candidate, except one, on the Republican county ticket. Feidt ran many vote* be hind the rest of the ticket, according to the Heraldt table of re turn*. The State of Kansas strayed very far from the old faith this year. Lewelling, the Ltencocratic candidate for governor, was elected ; the electoral vote goes to Wearer; and Senator Peffer claims that a Populist will be chosen to succeed Senator Bishop,— this is doubtful, however. Jerry Simpson was re-elected to Congrcas. The scaffold upon which John Brown was executed at Charles Town, W. \ a .arrivedin Washington on Saturday for sbipmeut to tbeWorld’s Fair Exposition. The timbers are in a good state of preservation.—A(ex. Gatette. We understand it was exchanged by the owners here for a tlu^e hundred acre farm in Prince George’s county, Md. The New York correspondent of the Bal timore Sun wrote on Saturday : “The mem bers of the Nineteenth Century Club are waiting with pleasurable anxiety a discus sion on next Tuesday evening between Con gressman William L. W ilson, of West \ ir ginia, and Prof. James Schouler. It will be on “Presidential Campaigns as an Edu cative Influence.” The Democrats of Shepherdatown will have a jollification next Wednesday night, 23rd. The good old town will be brilliant ly illuminated nud with torches and Greek fire the boys will impart a sanguinary hue. Distinguished speakers are invited. Clubs from Marylaud are expected to be present and swell the grand chorus of “ Four more years of Grover.” We have received from the Committee ot Arrangements, through Mr. B. A. Wade, an invitation to be present at the grand demonstration of the Winchester and Fred erick countv Democrat* in celebration ot the election of Cleveland and Stevenson.— Friday evening, the 18th, i* the time set tor the affair, aud the programme includes a torch-light procession arid addresses by prominent speakers. Bro. Thompson, of the Keyser Echo, an uncompromising Republican, spoiled four ballots before voting and scratched every thing but the straight Democratic ticket on the fifth—not finding out his mistake until the ballot was deposited—so says the Tri bune. Possibly his acute realization of the imperfections of die new system is slightly mollified by the fact that the ballots were printed at the Echo office ♦ ♦ The sympathy of the people of the Uuited States goes out to Chairman Carter, who no* only has to bear the odium of the Republi can defeat but is a statesman permanently out of a job, having resigned a fat office at the command of his chief to run the cam paign, and having failed to secure the leg islature of his State, Montana, by which he hoped to be elected United States Senator On the other hand, the returns seem to in dicate that Chairman Harritv is right in it. Judge K l> Faulkner, who had no oppo sition, and whose re-election was desired by all parties, polled only the l>eraocratic vote, though it must have been expected that he would run considerably ahead of the rest of the ticket. The unfamiliarity of voters with the official ballot inclined them to vote their ticket w ithout alteration, es pecially where the result could not be changed, as in tbi* case. If Judge Faulk ners election had been in doubt be would have received many tn >re votes. The venerable Senator Morrill, of Ver mont, the father of the war tariff, view* the political situation with equanimity, and ev idently doesn’t think the business inttrests of the country are in danger of being ruin ed by Democratic legislation. He says, “There are many manufacturers and em ployers who of late years have come to think they can get along better without a tariff or with very little protection ;’’ and thiuks that “it is possible we have carried the principle of protection very near to the extreme limit.” A large majority of the people of the country share this opinion with the Senator The latest indications are that tbe legis latures of California, Montana and Wyo ming will be Democratic. A United State Senator is to be elected by each ; and these three, together with the Democrats who will succeed Senator- Uiscock, of New York, ami Sawyer, of Wisconsin, (both Re publican, i will make the Democratic strength in tbe Senate 44 votes, or one-half of the body,—and Vice President Stevenson will have the easting vote. Tbe probable elec tion of People's Party Senators from seve ral States will place the Republicans in a decided minority. There ought to be no trouble about obtaining prompt relief from the unnecessary burden- imposed by Re publican tariff legislation. ELEClIOy ECHOES. Opinions of the State Press. CABINET MAKING. ^ j Misuh Wilson, sab, Secretary of State under Mr. Cleveland, sah ’-Morgantown Pint (Rep ) NOT UNEXPECTED. Speaking only for the Post, the election of Cleveland was expected.—Morgantown Pott (Rep ). A BENEDICTION TO THE SOUTH. And so to the South this election of Mr. Cleveland comes like a beuedietion. Charleston G'.uctte (Dim.). ALMOST AMUSING. It is big enough to be funny. We are j almost up to the point of enjoying it.— Wheeling Intelligencer (Rep.) SURPRISED AND NOT PLEASED.

Wilson made an extended tour of those sections during j the campaign, so you can guess.— Wheeling Register (Devs.). they take it amiably.

Requter (Pern.). KNEW WHAT HE WAS TALK1XO AUOl T. Senator Faulkner said at the close of his speaking tour through the State that the Democratic majority in West \ irginia could not fall below 5,000.

Seuator Faulkner is as certain to succeed himself as the principles of Democracy are mighty and will prevail.

Rev Or. Joseph J. Bullock died Noveni* \ ber l» in his eightieth year at the home of iiis -on, Cabell B. Bullock, L-xington, Ky., j where he was visiting. Dr. Bullock was oue of the most eminent divines of the Southern Presbyterian Church. Dr. Bul lock was born December 2d, 1812, in Ken tucky, and lived there until his removal to j Baltimore in 1861. His first pastorate was 1 in Frankfort. Ky. He was afterward ap pointed a member of the board of the Pres byterian Church and traveled extensively j in the interest of the church. Dr. Bullock resigned the pastorate of Franklin Street | Church to accent a call to Second Presbv ; terian Church, of Alexandria, Ya., where he remained several years, and then remov ed to Washington, where he was appointed , chaplain of the Senate. He was twice mar ried. His first wife was Miss Breckenridgc, of Kentucky, a sister of John C. Breckin ridge. His second wife, who survives him, was Mrs. Laveudar, of Baltimore.

[ Literary Items. "Sun Prints in Stints.” Miss Jerome vhose striking and beautiful drawings o jirds, flowers and country scenes have de ighted the public for several seasons, has uade for this year a series of pictures alto gether unique, printed in “sky tint,” a deli cious blue, which gives a charming effect to lights and shadows. There are thirty of these pictures, accompanied by selections in prose and verse The book is very appro priately called “Sun-Prints in Sty-Tints,’ aud will be published by Lee and Shepard. It was a happy thought to make a collec tion of portraits of children. In a white covered book entitled 11 My Tittle Friends" Mr. E. Heinrichs has gathered a large uum ber of characteristic pictures, and on the pages opposite has furnished appropriate poems. The little people are from all parts of the country, and exhibit the greatest va riety of physiognomy. Some few of them are from the darker races,—Indian, Negro and Chinese. One of them, Baby McKee, is from the White House. This pretty book will be appreciated by parents and by all lovers of children. “ The Fallow Field," a poem by Mrs. Julia C. R. Dorr, has bsen illustrated by her daughter, Mrs. Steele, in a series of twenty five original drawings, reproduced in half tones from charcoal sketches. The poem is full of suegestion, and the artistic drawings are in harmony with its sentiment. The volume is an oblong quarto, 8* by 11 inch es, with gilt edges and beautifully printed. Lee and Shepard are the publishers. "The New England Country” contains over one hundred pictures of life and man ners in rural districts They tell their own story to all who have been bred or who have lived in the conutry. It is a most charm lug collection, mere are »isu icucrpitw descriptions of the scenes. The author and artist is Clinton Johnson, and Lee and Shepard are the publishers. In Mr. Underwood’s new volume “Quab bin," which Lee and Shepard are to publish, will be seen vivid pictures of life in a rustic community sixty years ago. The book is unique in plan, and, instead of following an argument, the reader perceives the facts and fancies by light and swift sketches.— The reigns of the parish ministers, the schools, town-meeting*, sleigh-rides, quilt ings, militia trainings, etc., are presented truthfully, y. t with an eye to picturesque effect. There are some line photographs and a portrait. The noble hymns and poems issued by Lee and Shepard are illustrated, and fur nished with new and rare cover designs by Maud Humphrey. They are printed in delicate colors on imitation ivory. For a gift book one could scarcely do better than select one of the “Maud Humphrey Ivo* rines.” Those interested in art will find an at tractive and useful volume iu Mrs. Cheney’s “Life of Rauch,” the great Sculptor. Tour ists can not fail to remember his stalely and beautiful statue of Queen Louise in the park at Berlin, and that of Albert Durer at Frankfort. He is in many respects the most eminent of tho moderns. The author is well known to be an authority in art. Lee and Shepard have the work in press and will is>ue it shortly. “ i'he Fortune* of Toby Trajforii,” hv .1. T. Trowbridge, which Lee and Shepard an nounce as ready, will be welcomed by thousands of youths. In the X. V. Mail, the poet, R. II. Stoddard, has thus written : “Mr. Trowbridge has a good perception of character, which he draws with skill ; he has abundance of invention, which he never abuses; and he lias, what so many Ameri cans have not, an easy, graceful style whi-'h can be humorous, or pathetic, or poetic. After writing about one hundred stories it might be supposed that Mr. Adams (known by all boys as Oliver Optic) might have exhausted his stock both of plots and ideas ; but it is remarkable that in his la test series, "The Blue and the Gray,” he has renewed his own youth and vigor, aud l»v ins masterly account oi me events in our Civil War lias taken a new and power ful ludd upon the affections of the coming generation. Thirty-rive solicitors for the Now York Life Insurance Company in sixty days wrote and settled upwards oi six millions of new bu-iness. It looks like confidence in the New York Life. Mr. C. T. Mitchell represents the company here. The following dispatch in the New York Tribune of Oct. 27 illustrates the advanta ges of insurance in the New York Life, with no “suicide clause Philadelphia, Oct, 20.—Payment of $10,000 insurance on the life of William M. Runk, late of this city, lias been refused by tlie Mutual Life Company, of New York, ou ihe ground th it Runk had committed suicide in ve^tum <0 his policy. Mr. Runk was a p.-rtm r in one of the largest dry good.- linns in the city, and when he blew out ins brains without warning a few weeks ago, in a tit of remorse over alleged stock specula: ions there was dismay among life insurance companies.

R. Moffit, pastor of a Baptist Church in Danville, Va., and editor of Anti-I.iquor, was shot by J. T. Clark last week and died Sunday. The difficulty which culminated in the shooting com menced at the polls on election day and was aggravated by the publication of an uncomplimentary article in Mr. Moffit’s paper.

The Hoffman, Eavey and Lane Bank building in Hagerstown was sold at public sale recently for $46,000. Charleston is eutertaining the represen tatives both of the Odd Fellows and of the Masons of West Virginia this week. Mrs. Sarah E. Timberlake, aridow of the late James B. Timberlake. of Fredericks burg, Va., died in that city Thursday. It is said that Hon. John Randolph Tucker will be urged for the position of Attorney-General in Mr. Cleveland’s cab inet. Joseph Snider, a blacksmith, was found dead in his shop, near Elkton, Rockingham county, last week. It is supposed he died of heart disease. This is certainly turkey year as we have more and finer turkeys in Loudoun this sea son than we have had for many years, says the Leesburg Wcuhingtonian. The explosion of a locomotive on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad near Schuylkill Haven killed iustantly five men, dangerously wounding another.

William Williams, a Sugartown, Pa, tanner, net on narrisou ana, oi course, lost it. He had borrowed the cash and his inability to pay it so preyed upon his mind that he shot himself. A large nail mill at Georgetown, Pa., which has been idle for several years has been leased by Pittsburg manufacturers and will be put into operation at once. Em ployment will be given to about 600 men and boys. Two confident West Virginians made the most novel bet on the presidential election. The loser was to eat a live rat in the town hall. By consent of the winner the rat was cooked, and a large number of spectators witnessed the payment of the bet.
