W. A. MARSH.
We do not know of any other
?weekly publication that is bring
ing happiness to more homes all
over the United States than that I
?ery sparkling and gem-laden
journal, The Youth's Comjxinion,
published at Boston.
Justice Lam ah, of the Su
preme Court of the United States
is another prominent character
called from tho scenes of earth
since our last issue. President
Harrison has, therefore, another
very important position to fill be
fore his term of office expires.
We notice that the newspapers
are paying high tributos to the
judicial acts of Judge Goff. aud
many say that his elevation to
the Supremo Bench is now a
matter that President Harrison
will give serious consideration.
The Prohibitionists say that
the death of the Republican party
is necessary to their success. If
this assertion means anything, it
means that the Republican party
has so far been the party that
most vigorously opposed the
liquor traffic, and the Prohibition
ists, of courso, ? would expect to
receive large reinforcements in
the event of the party dis
integrating. But how dark and
hopeless would be tho cause of
prohibition if it had to await tho
eternal dosolution of the Repub
lican party. The Prohibition
party has in many local instan
ces. by placing a ticket in the
fiield, divided the Republican
vote, and in this manner have ile
?featinl their best, friends.
At It Again.
Tim Teleoram is said to have
wounded tlio feelings ot some of
tho Prohibition brethren last fall,
by asserting that the Prohibition
ists were principally engaged in
assaulting the Republican party.
We founded our remarks upon
the utterances that came from
the Quest, the Prohibition organ
of this State. Here is another
??bold stroke" which the Quest of
last week gives a position on its
front page:
From tlio Quest. I
"The Itepnhlimii Party Denil."
"T. J. Canton, of Canton Coi j
lege, writing to the Western
Jjeader, says: "Wo have Ions' be
Jieved that the death of the Re
publican party was necessary to <
our success. We now believe ih.it ?
the Republican party can never!
again 'ally its forces and g;iin a
national election. It ciuTnever
gain strength in tho .south. It
It has been hurled from power
forever in several of the northern
It has no hopes of ever
obtaining control again of the
agricultural States of Kausas
and North Dakota or of some of
tne silver producing States of the
West. It has nothing to do but
go into the hole dujj for it by the
people last month."
A bill providing for the pro
tection and preservation of forest
reservations was introduced iu
tho House on Monday.
Senator Sherman laid before
the Senate, on Tuesday, numer
ous petitions adopted by the
Ohio local boards of health, pray
ing for the susjiension of immi
gration.
Electricity in the future will
play a very important part in
mill work. Its simplicity, relia
bility, safety and cleanliness
make it specially desirable.
ANECDOTE* OF DR. ADAM CLARK.
(For the Tilkokam.)
MethodisU as well as others
may be interested in some of the
following stories in the life of the
celebrated commentator: How
the early Methodists always had
a five o'clocn service in the morn
ing on Sabbath, and the energy
of the Sabbath work would
astonish people of the present
dav. "Sunday, Aug. 8. 1788. At
live this morning heard a useful
nermon at Broadmead, then
went to Gainea street Chapel and
heard asermonon 'Christian Per
fection." then heard another at
Drawbridge,this ended I returned
to my lodging ^and break fasted.
"Then at 10 o'clock heard Mr.
N esby, and then partook of the
sacrament.
"When dinner was ended heard
Mr. Collins at Temple church.
Mr. Wesley at Carolina Chapel,
and than Mr. Ilanby at King's
Down."
"True this was at a conference
and of course was perhaps a little
extra. He concludes:
?Thus 1 have in one day heard
seven sermons, three of which
were delivered out of doors.'
"On 28. of April. 1874, he
heard Miss Sewel preach and re
marks. ?! have formerly been no
friend to female preaching, but
my sentiments are a little altered.
! I can therefore adopt the saying
of shrewd men, an ass reproved
Balaam, and a cock reproved
Peter, and why may not a Woman
reprove sin?'
"When preachers are admitted
into full connection among-the
questions is the following:' 'Are
you in debt." On the day that
the Dr. was 10 be ordained he
chanced to borrow a half penny
from a minister who had gone out
of town. So when the question
?Are you in debt:'' is asked he
thought "If I say 1 ain in debt,
they will ask me?"how much?"
When I say I owe one-half-penny.
they will naturally suppose me
to be a fool. If I say [ am not
in debt, this will be a lie, for I
owo one-half penny and am as
truly under obligation to pay
as if the sum were twenty pounds
and while 1 owo that I cannot,
with eternal truth, say I am not
in debt.'
"While he was thinking came
the question. "Mr. Clarke, are
you in debt?'' 'Not one penny.'
"On a voyage to Shetland
Island, he savs. -Mr. Scott sent
us a present of a tine sheep, some
ale. porter, and two bottles of
whiskey.'
"It must not be inferred from
this that Dr. was intemperate.
For speaking of Daffy's Elixir.
Solom's Balm of Gilead and God
frey's Cordial, says: -They are
intended to meet the palate, and
under the specious names of
mnlicincx are actually used as
iIiiiium. Then drops beget drams
till health and property are both
destroyed, and 1 may add. the
soul ruined by these infernal
composts."
"In 1882 jn Ireland, he says: |
t or want of manufacturers, the'
streets and the country are ful1 I
of boys and girls from nine or j
ton. to fourteen or tirteen years
of age. only half clothed, having
nothing to do.and not desiring to
do anything. Manufactures are j
a blessing independently of the
means which they produce. The !
?Irsm/rtioi, anj which they I
introduce, are unnoticed re
straints in immorality and vice.'
??^is opinion of America and
Methodistism expressed in lsr,^
is as follows: -I believe your I
nation to be destined to be the
mightiest and happiest nation on
the globe, so 1 believe that your
church is likely to become the
most extensive and pure in the
universe. As a church abide in
the Apostle'sdoctyine and fellow
ship. As a nation be tiniily
united: entertain no petty differ
ences, totally, abolish the slave
trade:?abhor all offensive wars,
never provoke even the puniest
State. Encourage agriculture
and friendly traffic, cultivate the
sciences and the arts,?avoid as
its bane and win?a natural debt.'
"But the Dr's creed is broad
enough and good enough for
every one to adopt for the new
year and practicefn life.
"God has brought thee acd nic
into being, that we may get all
the good we can from Him. and
do all the good we can to
fellows."' v *

J ypj: have been true
in Shakespeare's time, but if it
was, it is evident the learned
gentleman never saw such names
as may be gleaned from Uncle
Sam's pay-roll. Among govern
ment employes at Washington
are 2,000 people of the name of
Smith, and some 400 of them by
the name of John Smith. There
are over 1,100 Browns, 1,000
Johnsons.and 900Joneses. There
are, on the other hand, such
names as X.ylander, Bussenshut,
Calvorcoresses. Vonbrudden

Scharringbausen, Petegomenne.
Kochersperger. Brannersreuther

be quite an affectionate lot. these
government employes,for among
the names are two Huggs,
one Hugger, one Huggins, and
thirty Loves.
Two sail under the cognomen
of Gall, while three of them carry
the equally suggestive name of
Cheek. They are a patriotic lot,
evidently, for there are one Red,
half a dozen Blues, and Whites
by the hundreds.
There are several Flags, and
material for more, as is show by
the fact that there are two Cali
coes and one Silk. If Uncle Sam
wants to get into the free lunch
business he will have no difficulty
in finding material to set his
table. There are six Rusks, one
Bread, fifty Fishes, ten Custards,
eleven Coffees, two Teas, three
Butters,one Milk, two Sourwines,
one Sourbeer. two Apples, and
one A. Sass. which presumably
stands for "apple-sass." There
are some names that would seem
to be a burden to carry about
through life. For iustance there
are three by the name of Coward,
one Lie, on Awkward, one Dam
schroder, one Goldammer, and
oreDamall. The months of the

of the monarchical governments
seem to be represented, as there
are 40 Kings. 3 Queens, 6 Czars,
2 Marquises, and Princes, Lords.
Earls, and Dukes in great num

The time was when every little
girl used to long for the age
when she could, get her "ears
pierced" and the maiden who
came to her school mates with
the proud boast that a sharp steel
instrument had been thrust
through her auricular append
ages was considered nothing
short of a heroine. But ear
piercing has had its day and we
may not expect to see much more
of it. The fact that intelligent
people in this age of civilization
should keep up a practice inau
gurated by heathen nations is in
deed strange. Look over a
Clarksburg audience now and
you will find a great falling ofT
in the ear jewel busiuess. Even
when the feminine instinct in
clines toward the wearing of ear
rings?that is toward diamond
soltaries? a gold clamp attaches
the jewel to the ear so that pierc
ing is unnecessary. "Gradually
the style is going out. Sensible
people are disgusted with the
savagery of the fashion and the
foolish ones follow their load be
cause they always follow any
