Where The hoops drew the lightning
And burnt off their clothes.

She wore bib apron
Instead Of dress.
So we ought not TO wonder
That The Japanese wanted TO know
Whether the ladies in this country
In that shape DO grow.

Gen. Cass, in Virginia.

Gen. Lewis Cass. of Michigan, present
Secretary of State and great Democratic
war horse, was stopping al the Mcclure
House, in Wheeling, last Wednesday.
Although nearly eighty years of age.
Gen. Cass looks still hale and hearty. and
moves abou, with firm siep and head
erect. In speaking about his health, he
remarked that he had never drank drop
OF liquor or taken chew of tobacco in his
life. and TO his abstemious habits he al
lributed his present excellent health.
Having spent many years of his life upon
the frontier. where whiskey-drinking and
tobacco che wing belong TO the fine arts,
this is certainly most remarkable. and on.
ly goes to show the possession of an in
domitabIe will. Ofcoarse he supports
Breckintidge and Lane for President and
Vice President. There are many people
and scenes in this city familiar to Gen.
Cass. He met an old gentleman yesier-
day who knew him well when he used 10
practice Law in Ohio, snd when ne went
down the Ohio river from this city TO
Blannerhasse,,'s Island in skiff. without
cent Of money in his pocket, shortly be-
fore the arrest of Aaron Burr, in 1903.
He is now worth three millions dollars.
They talked over old times, and both
seemed highly delighted. Gen. Csss
