History Of the +. +. VS..

We have read and heard so much of
late of the first families Of Virginia, sig
niicantly denoted by the letters Il. f.
V that we have been induced to look
a little into their early history. 1t is n
most remarkable circumstance chat these
L. +. VS., have grown so numerous
that they are to be found almost every
where, especially where foreign en-
bassy, or consulate, or secrctaryship, or
even a good paying clerkship, is availa-
BILE. They swarm in the public Offices
in Washington as well as under public
pay in England and on the continent. -
So numerous have they become that no
man has within the last thirty years ev-
er met Virginian who belonged to the
second families of Virginia. All then
except the slaves, are to be counted as
among the +. Il. VS.. The oldest fam
lilies of England love to 60 back to the
earliest days. and with pride point out
the illustrous founders of their families.
We have authentic history which goes
back to 1907. when the first settlement
was made in Virginia, from which we
quote:
'Of the one hundred and five persons
on the list of emigrants destined to re-
main, there were no men with families.
there were but twelve laborers aad very
few mechanics. The rest were compos.
ed of gentlemen of fortune, and of per-
sons of no occupation, mostly of idle and
dissolute habits, who had been tempted
to join the expedition through curiosity
or the hoge of gain "A company but
poorly calculated TO plant an agricultu-
raj State in the wilderness. Wilson's
American History, p, 1852
New emigrants arrived in 1900, most
of whom were profigate and disorderly
persons who had been sent off to escape
a worse destiny at home Wilson, p,
166.
In the month of August, 1920, n
Dutch mani sof war entered James river
and landed twenty negroes for SALE
This was commencement of negro sla-
very in the colonies. Wilson's Histo-
ry p, 10Y.
AT this time there we're very few wo-
men in tho colony. Ninety women Of
character were soon after sent
over, and the colonistsa purchased them
for wives, the price of wife rising from
one hundred and twenty to ono hundred
and fifty pounds of Tobacco Wilson,
p, no.
Though their wives were thus bought
they were not held as slaves. Still the
state of society indicated by this histori-
cal fact illustrates the moral and social
position Of the Arst colonists who con-
the parent stock from which has
sprung that numerous and self satisfied
race called the arst families of Virginia.

Centuries have passed, and all traces
of the manor house of Coeymans have

out its site, and tells of an old stone
house, and of spectre in rustling silks
and high-heeled shoes that glided through
its lonely halls long after the Madame
Coeymans went to her grave.

Look Before You Kick.

A minister in one of our orthodox
churches, while on his way to preach a
funeral sermon in the country, called to
see one of his members an old widow
lady, who lived near the road he was
travelling. The old lady had just been
making sausagcs, and she felt proud of
them, they were so plump, round and
sweet. OF course she insisted on the
minister taking some of the links home
to his family. He objected on account
of his not having his portmanteau along.
This was overruled and the old lady af-
ter wrapping them in a rag, carefully
placed bundle in each pocket of the
preachers capacious coat. Thus equip
ped, he started for the funeral.
While attending to tho solemn ccre-
monies of the grae, some hungry dogs
scented the sausages, and were not long
in tracking them to the good mans over
coat. Of course this was an annoyance,
aud he was several times under the ne
cessity of kicking those wheIps away.
The obscquics at the grave completed,
minister and congregation repaired to
the church where the funeral discourse
was to be preached.
After the sermon was finished, the
minister halted to make some remarks
to his congregation, when brother, who
wished to have an appointment given
out, asccnded the pulpit steps and gave
the minister's coat hitch to get his at
tcntion. The divine, thinking it dog
having a design upon bis pocket, raised
his foot, gave a sudden kick and sent the
good brother full length on the floor.

He pointed the way, and Talleyrand
who, in his life was bishop, prince, and
minister, ascended the stairs A mis-

In the far corner of the dimly lighted
room sat man Of forty years Of age, his
arms folded and his head bowed upon
his breast. From window directly op.
posite flood Of light poured upon his
forehead. His eyes looked from beneath
the downcast brows and upon Talleyrands
face with peculiar and searching ex-
preston. His form vigorous even with
the SHOWS of fifty inters, was clad in
dark but rich and distinguished costume.
Talleyrand advanced stated, that he was
a fugitive. and with an impression that
the gentle before him was an American
he solicited his kind feeling and Offices
He poured fourth his history in elo-

This strange gentleman arose. With
look that Talleyrand never forgot, he
retreated toward the door of the next
chamber, his eyes looked still from be-
meath his darkeaed brow. He spoke as
he retreated backward, his face was full
of meaning.
