A Virginia Camp Meeting.

Mr.. j. Gibson, in this county. On Sunday, the
2lst day of August, while the people were en-
gagged in the usual exercises on the canvass
ground, man named Joseph Birch shot ne
gro named West, woundng him in the side. The
negrois said to be habitually steady and peace.

saw him to-day. l am acquainted with both
Birch and West.
Immediately after the camp broke up last
Friday, twenty-seven negroes were sold on the
ground to some Southern traders. Among this
number was one woman and seven children.
One of the men was on his knees engaged in
prayer, when the trader slapped him on the
shoulder and told him he must go with him. He
intimated his willingness to go, but told his for
mer master that ifthey should meet up in heaven
he would have a settlement with him there.
The trader stopped his mouth with his hand
then handcuffed him. The whole party were
then put into an omnibuss, which was ready for
them, and they were conveyed to Alexandria

Chinese Suasar Game.

In proof that cane which produces ripe seed
loses its sweetness and juice and becomes dry
and pithy, I would simply say that 1 made it
my particular business, while my cane was
growing, to determine its peculiarties, so far as
could, that might know how to cultivate it
proftably. cut stalks every few days, after it
tasseled out, until dead ripe, and found that be-
fore the seed was full in the milk. the Juice had
greenlsh, unpleasant tast, although very sweet
when 1t was full size it had no unpleasant taste
the inner portion of the stalk was about as sweet
as sugar candy, and the stalk perfect. When
he seed began to turn dark on the tip of the
heads l found small hollow forming in the
center of the stalk next to the head, and as the
seed ripened this extended down the stalk from
one half to two thirds its entire length, and the
stalk had pithy appearance The juice about
this hollow became fiat and insipid, with but
little sweetness, and tasted very much like the
last run of maple sap, after the buds have stated
The lower joints of this same stalk would usu-
ally remain sound and very sweet, while the
upper portion as the seed ripened became nearly
dry, and very much resembled the inside of
ripe corn-staIk. From these observations I
came to the conclusion that when the seed is
fully formed and about to turn dark, then the
stalk is at the highest state ofperfection for use
| and will make either sugar or syrup, as you de-
| sire--that after the seed ripens it be comesunft
for syrup or sugar S. E. Chapman.

Cause OF the AurOrss BOrealis.

NJ, ID. Rrive, the celebrated FRENCH astrono.
mer, explains the production of the Aurora
Borealis in the following manner :-"When tho
sun having passed into the Southern hemisphere,
noonges heats our atmosphere, the aqueous va
pors which have accumulated during the summer
in this part of the atmosphere being to condense,
the kind of humid cap enveleping the polar re-.
gions extend more and more, and facilitates the
passage of electricity accumulated in the upper
portion of the air. But in this elevated region,
and especially at this portion of the year, the
aqueous vapors must most frequently pass into
the state of minute particles of ice or snow float
ing in the air, similar to those which give rise to
the halos they form, as it were, kind of semi
transparent mist. These half-frozen fogs con.
duct the electricity to the surface of the earth
near the pole, and are at the same time, illumi-
match by these currents of electric discharge.
In fact all observers agree in asserting that the
Aurora Borealis is constan ty preceded by mist
which rises from the pole, and the margin of
which, less dense than the re mander, is colored
the first and indeed, it is very frequent near
the pole in the winter months, and especially in
those where there is au abundance of vapor in
the air.

LET HER NOT DIE:


lis sweet sunrise in the eastern skies,
= And the golden light is beaming
- or the grass green hills and the sparkling ril
And all with gladness teeming.
But I'm not glad, for my heart is sad
>, With trembling and with signing;
or tins golden light which breaks the night
beholds my loved one dying
Great Father why must my loved one die,
and leave my soul in anguish
y shield her heart from the monsters dart,
Nor let her longer languish.
Stop not that breath, o cruel death,
WhIe youths iond hopes beat highest,
ana lie so sweet, with JOY complete,
seems, but for thee, the highest.
wit thou not hear the frantic prayer
VI n soul long wrung with sadness,
ana now restore my love once more
10 health, and JOY, and gladnesa.
Our prospects bright, have turned to night,
And the darkness thick is nearing,
And soon my life with sorrows rife,
Must be torn from its endearing.
Oh, stricken soul the shining goal
Of Hopes enchanting vision
Erewhile has cheered thee, as we steered
Towards the shores elysian
But stormy gales have rent the sails
OF the ship of Fate asunder,
Above, around, the tempests sound,
And waves of darkness under.
God, hear my cry, nor let her die
In youths bright, hopeful living
And fill not up my earthly cup
With sorrow and misgiving
And happy ray of brighter day
Than this bright morning, even,
In our hearts shall shine with light divine,
And lead US on to Heaven

sqHaEter SOvereEgDty---An Item of
History.

The doctrine of Squatter Sovereignty as now
advocated by Douglas and his adherents was
first preached in an address before the Legis-
ature Of the Northwest Territory by Gen Ar
thur St. Clair the then Governor, as follows:
For all internal affairs we have complete
Legislature of our own. and in them are no
more bound by an act of Congress than by an
edict OF the Flrst Consul of France"
What did the Democrats of that day think of
it. LETTERS IN was President and James Madison,
the father of the Constitution, his Secretary of
State. When ljs clause of St. Clair's speech
was shown to Jefferson and his Cabinet, what
did they do They addressed Mr.. st. Clair the
following significant document:
SIR: The President, observing in an adj
dress lately delivered by you to the Convention
at Chllllcothe an incorporate and ndecorum OF
language towards the Legislature of the United
States, and disorganizing spirit and tendency
OF every evil example, and grossly violating the
rules OF conduct enjoined by your public station,
determines that yOnr commission of Governor
OF the Northwestern Territory shall cease on
the recei OF OF this notification.
6 am, &c,
JAMES MADISON.
Arthur ST. Clair, Esq, Chilicothe'
Such were Jetferson's and Madison's opinion
of "Squatter Sovereignty" and they were good
Democrats.
The second appearance of this delightful doc
trine over which our Democratic friends swag-
ger so much was in the National Democratic
Convention in 1913, when Mr.. w. L. Yancey,
of Alabama, reported the following resolution
Resol0ed, Tint the doctrine of non-intertereacc
with the property of any portion of this con-
federation, IN the States OR IN THE TERRI
TORIES, by any other than the parties interested
is the true Republican doctrine recognized By this
body.
The vote upon its adoption was, yeas SO, nays
2l6. Tho entire North voted against it, and
thus the doctrine was emphaticaly repudiated at
that time.
Its third appearance was during the excite
ment of The Wilmot Provso question: when
quite number of the slave States took alarm
and passed resolutions refusing to support any
man for the Presidency who was in favor of the
Wilmot Proyiso Thereupon the doughfaces
began to iu tier, and Cass sought refuge from
political d'ath by lodging the question in his
celebrated Nicholson letter. aud then broach-
ed Squatter Sovereignty for the third time

IMPROVEMENT IN SoAP.--The wife of an
American agIiculturist has been experimenting
IN soaps, and finds that the addition Of three
quarters OF pound of borax to pound of soap
melted without boiling, makes saving of one
half in the cost soap, and three fourtbs the la
Dor of washing, improving. the wilderness of the
fabrics; besides the usual caustic effect is thus
removed. and the hands are left with peculiar
soft and silky feeling, leaving nothing more to
be desired by the most ambitious washerwoman.

EY'A trial of five classes of rifed cannons
was made at the Washington navy yard on
Friday. A boat-gun, throwing a ten pound
shell, delivered its shot at 3, 430 and 3,446 yards,
little less than two miles. These shells are
two pounds heavier those used with such terri
BILE effect by the French in their battles in Italy.
A large iron gun, to throw fifty pound shell,
has just been cast at the yard. Its range will
probably be three and half to four miles.
