So. V. J|"The play is not yet ended,Let the curtain rise."

-An OUt Play,In commencing these sketches, the

intention was to confine them tosuch Senators and members as mostfrequently participated in debate..Hut the favorabl Reception giventhem by the public, induced theirauthor to extend them. He hopes tohave an opportunity of making themcomplete.Since men nevor see themselves as

others lee them, it rarely occurs thatany one is satisfied with his oiyiphotograph. Believing public mento bo proper subjects of fair criticism,«£.Uay<; nut hiioitated .to puiixfc tvnow and then, a defect where it ex¬isted. In doing this, we have soughtto be accurate without being unkind.That one, who does not like the pic¬ture drawn of him, should attributeunfairness, prejudice, or incapacityto the artist, is but natural. And,yet, how absolutely worthless wouldbe sketches abounding only in nau¬seous flattery.

J*o man is faultless, even in hispublic life and bearing, And he iswanting in good judgment, wholakes offense at having his publicfaults, natural or acquired, faithfullydelineated, provided his public mer¬its have not been overlooked, or dis-regarded in the same sketch.Lot it be understood, once and for

all, that these sketches have been andwill be, in every instance, writtenwithout malice, prejudice or selfishpurpose.

HON. JOIt.N it. Iiii.eV.It may seem somewhat contrary to

the eternal fitness of things that anyone but a Democrat should represent!a county named after Old Hickory.especially when tint county forms a

part of the Democratic State of West\ irginia. But it is, nevertheless,true, that Mr. John H. liiley, thedelegate from Jackson, is a Republi-can, and that too, of the most decidedpartisan proclivities. Lacking theshrewdness of Mr. Hubbard, or elseunable to restrain his impulsive na¬

ture, he drags party politics into de¬bate more frequently than any othermember, and, thereby weakens, tosome extent, his influence on generallegislation.Ho has indefatigable energy, but

his discretion does not at all timeskeep pace with it. And yet ho isa very useful member of the House;attentive to his duties, and sincerein his efforts to promote the generalwelfare of the State.In patriarchal length of beard, he

is without a rival; whilst in intel¬lectual abilities, he is a fair averagemember.^His speeches, though wanting in

systematic arrangement and logicalcondensation, are still worth listen¬ing to.

HON. BEVERLEY H. LURTY.We come now to a remarkable per¬

sonage. One looking at his face andfigure, and observing hisactive move¬ments, can scarcely be made to be¬lieve that the member from Harrisoncounty has already passed his threescore and ten years. And yet, Mr.Lurty is the Nestor of the West Vir¬ginia House of Delegates, being nowin his seventy-third year.In a former sketch, we pronounced

Speaker Wilson the most eloquentpopular orator in the House. Onmore mature reflection, we aro dis-posed to render that tribute to the"old man eloqueut." His voice issweet and mellow, his enunciationclearly distinct, his gesticulation thevery embodiment of grace and hislanguage marked with classical elo¬quence.He is a farmer and has, when we

consider the many years of bis life,had but little to do with public office.At one time he served as a deputy inthe Clerk's office of Harrison county,and afterwards, as a commissioner inchancery. His first appearance ina representative body, was as a mem¬ber of the Constitutional Convention°f 1872-3, at which time he first im-pressed himself upon general noticeas an orator. At tho last election forState oilicers, ho whs chosen by thepeople of Harrison, to represent themin the present Legislature.

I lie profuso richness of his lan¬guage is such as to almost blind oneto his really good ideas. He can beeloquent on any subject. A few dayssince, when Mr. Lowry's amendmentpreventing the owners of portablesteam saw mills from dumping sawdust into unnavigablo streams, cameuPi Mr. Lurty, in opposing it, mado

Fwpeecb glittering with beautifuliropea and figures.i'Listening to his descriptions ofjnurmuring rivulets and dancingpsb, one could scarcely conceive thatHie subject matter was saw mills andsaw dust.In private and social life, Mr. I.ur-

ty is the most amiable of the amiable.An entertaining talker, with a mem¬

ory richly stored with the experiencesand incidents of three quarters of a

century, ho is a most charming com¬

panion.£ HON. GEO. F. EVANS.

By the death of Hon. Geo. Ferrcll,on the 21st day of January, 1881, thocounty of Berkeley was left withoutrepresentation in the House. At a

special election, held in February ofthe same year, Mr. George F. Evans,an enterprising young tobacconist, of.Kaitinaburg, was chosen to fill thevacancy.Without previous parliamentary

experience, but full of'ardor, he cameat once to Wheeling and took hisseat. From the first, he evinced asincere purpose of doing all he couldto promote the best interests of theState.With his whole soul, ho threw

himself into the werk. A Republi¬can in politics, and, therefore, in a

minority, ho had the good sense tofirst win the personal friendship ofthe members generally, and tlion de-voto his energies exclusively to non¬

partisan legislation.As the patron of the bill to abolish

corporal punishment in the publicschools of the State, he has endearedhimself to all the girls and boys andand not a few of the parents. Hemade a gallant, though unsuccessfulfight In behalf of this progressivemeasure, a little too progressive, asvide Solomon's Reports, vol. ., p..,referred to by Mr. Lowry in the dis¬cussion, especially that part of itwhere the wise author quaintly butforcibly points out tho damagingoflcct of "sparing the rod."Mr. Evans is a close watcher of the

interests of the working men of theState. Himself a practical manu¬

facturer, he jealously guards therights of labor and mechanical skill.Not more than thirty-one or two

years of age, he is inspired with allthe ardorof enthusiastic youth. Timedoubtless will destroy many of hisvisions.Amiable, good-natured and whole-

souled, ho makes himself popularwith all classes.

HON. GEORGE LYNCH.

In one of tho early papers of thesesketches, I had occasion to describetwo classes of influential legislators.Without desiring to recall the pre¬cise language then used, I may saythat the Hon. George Lynch, of Cal¬houn county, owes his influence, ingreat part, to his wonderful powersof digestion and capacity for absorp¬tion.He is tho wit of the House.the

"funny member," "par excellence."Is there a practical joke perpetrated?a little legislative fun; such as re¬

quiring the sergeant-at-arms to quar¬antine Pittsburgh visiting statesmen;be assured George Lynch i8 at thobottom of the thing.With a contemptuous disregard of

fashion in dress and a holy horror fordandyism, he generally appears inthe plainest possible clothes, sans

cravat, sans collar and sans gloves.These external evidences of rough¬

ness are mere oddities of character.For, at heart, he is a kind gentle¬men, possessed of noble instincts andgenerous impulses.

Full of fun, he would rather perpo-trateajoke than draw his per dim.But, then, he has a sober side ofcharacter.no leBS pronounced thanhis jovial traits. When it comes tovoting on a serious question, ho hasa mind of his own, that makes up itsdecisions with deliberation and actslrom conviction.Seeing him lounging about the

House, with an air of positive indif¬ference, a stranger would be apt tomistake him for a political tramp.But to us, who know his sterling'qualities, mental and social, ho ap¬pears, as iudeed he is, every inch aman.

1ION. ISAAC 3. SETTLE.

One of tho most graceful compli¬ments that can be given a public of¬ficial, is to declare with truth, thatthe office was originally forced uponhim, by tho exigencies of his party-taking advantage of his individualand personal popularity to heal allinternal dissensions. This compli¬ment is due to tho present memberfrom Fayette county. At the pro-ceding election for State officers, theregular nominoo of the Democraticparty of Fayette, had been defeated

by the Independent, or Fusion candi-datd, Mr. Carter. It became, there¬fore, a party necessity in the canvassof 18S0, to select a standard bearor ofsuch recognized persohtfl Btrength asto insure a victory over a combined'opposition.

The choice fell upon Mr. Isaac J.Settle, a young civil engineer, whosefine social qualities mado hira uni¬versally popular, and whose strong,practical mind directed by a discreetjudgmont rendered hini in every waycapable. Tho wisdom of the choicewas evidonced at tho polU, by ahandsome majority for the Democrat¬ic nominee of '200, over both the In¬dependent and Fusion tickets.

Mr. Settle is thirty-eight years old.During thelato war, he served on theUnion side with gallantry, as a mem¬ber of the Second West VirginiaCav-alrv. of Bhoriftm'g fa.^coftpnd.lie has no taste for politics, pre¬ferring the compass and theodolite,to Jefferson's Mttnual and Cooley'sInstitutes. Ho has for some timepast been tho efficient chief engineerof tho Winifrede Railway Company,the line of which, when completed,is intended to be a feeder of the Ches¬apeake and Ohio Railroad.Like all men of mechanical or

mathematical bent of mind, ho be¬stows his favor and time upon de¬monstrated facts rather than philo¬sophical abstractions.A brief acquaintance furnishos us

with a key to his popularity. Unas¬suming, kind and civil, with a bear¬ing affable to tho high and low alike;firmly holding his views upon allmatters with which he is acquainted,but uever arrogantly thrusting them,upon others, he quietly, but withmathematical precision, blazes a

straight and plain path tfiCough thetangled scenes of a public life.

HON'. JOHN W.GRANTHAM.

Christian dignity, always admira¬ble, when found adorning public life,becomes exalted. In a legislativebody, necessarily made up in largepart of veterans in party trickery andwire pulling, it is impressing not tosay refreshing, to find a genuineChristian gentleman, imbued withthose solid and practical virtues thatcan only be acquired in the course ofa consistent religious life.Such a person is the senior mem¬

ber from Jefferson, or such, at least,he appears to the world at largo.What he may really be, is knownonly to his God, and, perhaps, him¬self.A tall gentleman, slightly, very

slightly stoop-shouldered, with grayhair and heavy mustach of samecolor; hands nearly always in hispantaloou pockets; given at times tothe old Virginia habit of put¬ting his feet on tho desk in frontof his seat, and yet with a gravo facethat never looses its dignity of fea¬tures, the Hon. John W. Granthampresents a venerable, sternly pre¬possessing, and, on his feet, even a

distinguished appearance.Born in 1820, in the county now

represented by him and his youthfulbut talented colleague, Mr. FrankBeckwith, and on tho fino estate nowowned by him, he spent his earlylife in mercantile pursuits. His suc¬cess as a business man is ovidencedby the fact that he is now the Presi¬dent of tho Bank of Charlestown.aposition ho has held since its organi¬zation.More than forty years ago he con¬

nected himself wiih the MethodistE. Church; of the Southern branch ofwhich, he has long been a prominentmembor. He is, also, one of the lead¬ing Masons of the State, being a pastGrand High PrieBt of the GrandRoyal Arch Chapter of West Virgi nia.

In ante helium days, up to tho periodof Know Nothing madness, he was S|Whig, and even now, in conversa¬tion, manifests a pride in and fondrecollection of the great Kentuckystatesmen.the founder of the Amer¬ican System and father of the Whigparty. JIn 1872 he was almost unanimous¬ly elected a member of the House ofDelegates.being at the time, the(regular nomineo of tho Democraticparty; receiving twenty-three hun¬dred votes out of a total of twenty-four hundred. In 1873 ho was amember of the State Senate, and in1880 was again elected to the Houseof Delegates.He puts on no pretensions to ora¬

tory, yet when interested in a matterbefore the House, says what he wantsto say in a quiet,conversational style.lie is sometimes a little petulant andwhen bored by a debate, persists indemanding tho "previous question."This habit of his was the origin of arich sceno the other day tetween Mr.Grautham and Judge Ferguson. I

! will never forget it so long as I live.It was near the close of u protracteddebate. One of the participants, af¬ter some allusions to Jttdge P. hadjust resumed his seat. The Judge,ttlio never suffers a personal allusionto pass unnoticed, was in the act ofarising to address tho chair, butbefore he could bring his ponderousform into parliamentary position,tho tall gentleman from Jeflersodsprang to his feet with the sudden*nossof a first class jutnping-jack, andshouted, "Jlr. Speaker, I demand thriprevious question." Heavens! whata look of mingled scorn and contemptthe old Judgo gavo him! It was thatof an enraged lion gnashing his teethat a meddling giraffe. Mr. G.couldn't stand it. Turning red as abeet in the face, ho quickly with¬drew his demand and shrank backinto his gent. Eui

Tlic Making of .WeniorleN.

Tho present days, which we aro in<clineil lo think so vaguely modernjwill be the "good old times" when thoyoung people whom wo daily meetshall bo men and women; it is out*fashions of dress and speech whichthey will remember for their quaint-1noss; and ours is not only tho possi¬bility but the absolute certainty ofbeing tuudo the representative, inyears to come, in Borne one's mind, ofthe spirit and chatttctef of a tinidthat Is past. We know how unwit¬tingly men and women used to im¬press and inliuenco us. Instead,therefore, of passing these memorieslightly by, or thinking thnt they aro

wholly a thing of private importanceand concern, wo should ninke them aconstant reminder of our own dutyin the line of influence. Wo cahnever tell tho long and ever-multi¬plying mischief which we may workby some wickedness or carelessnessof speech or action.something for¬gotten by us as soon as dono, buttreasured up in a little heart as a

possession for a lifo time. And, ontho other hand, we should be farmore anxious to multiply our wisowords and our kindly acts, If we ro-nlized more fully how long they maysurvive in places wllertf we neverthink of looking for them. Thememory of a single kindly deed, or

word, or look, quickly forgotten byus, may bo the ojio thing by whichsome person shall longest rememberus, and by which ho shall bo chieflyinfluenced, so far as any act of oursis concerned.Tho making of memories is not a

thing in which wo are responsible tochildhood alone. So long as thamental faculties endure, of all thosopersons with whom wo have to do,they aro treasuring up permanentrecords of the wholo course of ourwords and ways. Neither do nufgood deeds nor our bad onfes die withtheir performance, nor does theireffect end with us. What right liavowe, in great things or small, to cursomen's years to come by adding totheir burden the memory of ourwicked act or our hateful or improperwordf We aro responsible for thomemories which men, women andchildren havo of us and our belong¬ings; and this responsibility includesnot only the non performance of baddeeds, but tho doing of good ones.Day by day and minute by minutewe aro making memories which cannever chango hereafter. Is thereanything more bitter than thothought that our own evil memoriesof ourselves are, through our fault,shared by others? And is there any¬thing sweeter than tho thought thatthe treasured remembrance of kindacts and fit words is a lasting memo¬rial of ourselves, which we can in¬crease every day of our lives? Howwe aro to bo remembered is a ques¬tion whose answer.at least so far asthe rest of our lives are concerned.'is in our own hand.

A Fragment of Lire.

Wlreq ono breaks camp in thamorning ho turns back again andagain to see what lie has left. Sure-ly he feols that ho has forgoitcn some¬thing. What is it? It, is only hisown thoughts and musings he hasleft, tho fragment of hH life he haslived there. Where he hung hiscoat on a tree, where he slept in thobougliR, where he made his coffee ofbroiled his trout over the coals,where he drank at the littlo browr»pool in the spring run, where holooked long and long into tho whisp¬ering brandies overhead; he has leftwhat he cannot bring away with him.the flame and tho ashes of himself.

Vico may be defined to be a mis¬calculation of chances, a mistake litestimating tho value of pleasure andpaius. It is false arithmetic.
