ReYerses of Fortune.

The effect of the recent war in changing the
fortunes and relations of many of our citizens
are brought home to us every day, in many
striking and even romantic forms. A few days
ago, in case before one Of our district courts.
which involved an inquiry into the solvsncy of
a security, one of the witnesses stated that he
knew the security was hopelessly insolvent
before the war, whereupon the judge remark
ed, very sensibly and truly " The fortunes
and positions of many of our people had been
reversed by the effects of the war many who,
before the war, were and had been for many
years wealthy, were now hopelessly insolvent,
and many who had struggled for nearly their
whole lives against poverty and adverse for
tune, were now in easy and afluent circum
stances"
A distinguished attorney engaged in the
case, stated that he could cite an instance
within his own experience, con6rmatory of the
Justice of his honors remark. He himself had
been quite easy and comfortable before the
war but when he returned to the city with
out dollar in his pockets, and applied to hia
former rich clients TO pay some fees due him.
he found that they were as poor as he was;
and the only person who came to his assistance
and promptly placed him in funds, was man
whom he had known as an insolvent for twer-
ty years

Poetry In Undress.

A paper which rejoices in the name Of La
dies Oacn, thus plays tricks with rhyme and
reason:
1t is many years since fell in love with
Jane Jerusha Skeggs, the haudsomest country
girl by far, that ever went on legs. By mea-
dow. creek, and wood and dell, so often did
we walk, and the moonlight smiled on her
melting lips, and the night winds learned our
htalk. Jane Jerusha was all to me, for my
heart was young and true, and loved with a
double twisted love that was honest too l
roamed all over the neighbours farms, and 1
robbed the wild wood bowers, and tore my
trousers and scratched my hands, in search of
choicest flowers. In my joyous love l brought
these to my Jerusha Jane; but wouldn't be 50
foolish now, if were boy again, A city
chap then came along, all dressed up in fine
clothes, with shiny hat and shiny vest, and
moustache under his nose. He talked to her
of singing schools, flor her father owned
farm,l and she left me the country love, and
took the new chaps ara. And all that night
never slept, nor could eat next day, for
loved that girl with fervent love that naught
could drive away. i strove to win her back
to me, but it was all in vain the city chap,
with the hairy lip married Jerusha Jane.
And my poor heart was sick aud sore until the
thought struck me, that just as good fish still
remained as ever was caught at sea. So l
went to the Methodist Church one night, and
saw dark brown curl peeping from under
gypsy hat, and married that very girl. And
many years have passed and gone, and think
my loss their gain; and often bless that hairy
chap that stole Jerlisha Jane

A BLOODY DUEL BETWEEN Ex-CosrEDl

A BLOODY DUEL BETWEEN Ex- CoNrEDER-
ATE OFFIoERs.-A correspondent of the Mem
phis Post states that bloody duel was fought
on the 2sth ultim", between Maj. Ned Burns,
formerly Of cams command, and Col. ivy
man, also Confederate officer at Point Chcot,
a secluded place on the Mississippi, near Co
lumbia, Arkansas. The origin of the difficulty
was unknown. The weapons used were bowie
knives, and the duel was nothing more nor
less than savage butchery. Major Burns was
wounded in the arm, and Colonel Twyman re-
eeived three wounds in the body, which are
thought to be mortal. The latter was also Sc
verely injured in the face, his nose being COM
pletely severed, and one of his eyes so greatly
injured as to impair, if not entirely destroy, his
sight. The Colonels second was slightly hurt
by thrust from Maj Burns. All the parties
reside in Mississippi.

REVOLT OF THE DANCERS. The little town
of Tubingen, Prussia, has been lately convulsed
by a strike among the students who dance. 1t
appears that two young royal princes are stu
dents at Tubingen, and it has been their GUS
tom at the balls simply to signify to any young
lady their wish to dance with her, upon which
she has been obliged to, disappoint any happy
student to whom she might have been previ
ously engaged. The result was that the stu
dents refused to attend the balls at the Museum
Club. In Justice to the Princes, it must be adj
ded that they are willing to renounce the privi-
lege they had previously enjoyed; but the Pre-
sident of the Museum has succeeded in mud
ding matters, and the difficulties have not yet
been arranged.

STRONG CHARAcrERs.-Strength of char
acter consists of two things--power of will
and of self restraint 1t requires two things,
therefore, for its existence--strong feelings and
strong command over them Now it is here
we make great mistake; we mistake strong
feelings for strong character. A man who
bears all before him, before whose frown do
mestics tremble, and whose bursts of fury
make the children of the household quake
because he has his will obeyed, and his own
way in all things, we call him strong man.
The truth is that he is the weak man; it is his
passions that are strong, he, martered by them,
is weak. You must measure the strength of a
man by the power of the feelings he subdues,
not by the power of those which subdue him.
And hence composure is very often the highest
result of strength. Did we never see man
receive fragrant insult and only grow a little
pale, and then reply quietlyP That is a man
spiritually strong. Or did we never see man
in anguish stand, as if carved of solid rock,
mastering himself Or bearing hopeless
daily trial remain silent, and never tell the
world what cankered his home peace? That is
strength. He who, with strong passions, re-
mains chaste; he who, keenly sensitive, with
many powers Of indignation in him, can be
proved, and yet restrain himself and forgive
these are the strong men, the spiritual heroes.

The RESPONSIBILITY OF HOTEL KEEPERS.
A recent decision of the Supreme Court rela-
tive to the responsibility of hotel keepers for
the safety of the property of their guests
seems eminently just and should be the law
everywhere. The case in whinh the decision
was rendered was that of John A. Bigelow Us
Adolphus Lackenmeyer. The defendant is
proprietor Of the Lafarge House. On the Esd
of September the plaintiff, while a guest at the
house, had his room entered burglariously and
a gold watch, two gold rings and scarf pin,
and 5000 in money stolen therefrom making
a total loss of $3.50, for which he brought ac-
ton. The defendant claimed that plaintiff
sustained the loss through his own gross neg
ligence, and because he did not comply with
the rules and regulations of the house, of
which he had due notice. Plaintiff testified
that he bolted the door of his room on retir-
ing and that there was closet in the room
in which man could be secreted. The court
charged that the notice shown to have been
upon the door of the room, in compliance
with the statute requiring all valuables to be
deposited in the safe. did not apply to watch,
or pin, or ring, worn by the individual,
nor to such reasonable amount of money as
man required about his person in travelling,
and, to render hotel keepers liable for their
loss, these need not be deposited in the Safe
The jury gave verdict for plaintiff for $525.

The recent action of the West Virginia
Legislature in reference to the prosecution of
this important work, and its speedy compile
ton, has inspired the friends of the improve
ment with strong hopes that the work will be
speedily resumed and pushed rapidly forward
Should these expectations be realized, p and
should Messrs. Bellet de Minieres Bros. d Co.
carry out in good faith their contract for the
speedy completion of the James River and
Kanawha Canal, we may confidently predict
an era OF greater prosperity Tor Virginia than
her previous history has ever furnished.
The cities of Richmond and Norfolk, espe-
cially, will reap rich harvest Of trade, and
no doubt will exhibit ample capacity'to sus-
tain successful competition with Baltimore,
for the benefits resulting from direct trade
with Europe We sincerely hope their expec-
tations may be fully realized as. none except
their own citizens eau feel deeper interest In
their prosperity than we avow. ''Hl
We have met with several intimations 10
the columns Of some Of our contemporaries,
that an untriendly feeling existed In this COM
lnunity towards the capital of our State, and
that all our sympathies were enlisted in favor
of Baltimore. This supposition is unfounded
we assure them, and if many of our business
men deal with Baltimore houses, and have to
that extent curtailed their transactions with
our Richmond and Norfolk friends, it may
possibly be accounted for to some extent, by
referring to the advertising columns of our
city papers. An inspection of these will show,
that whilst Baltimore and Philadelphia are
bringing their business houses prominently
before the public, through the medium of ad-
vertisements yet none of the Lynchburg pa
pers exhibit moro than very small proper
ton of business notices from either Richmond
Or Norfolk. A change of policy in this par
ticular might be attended with beneficial re-
suits, and we throw out the suggestion for
their consideration. --Lynchbuy Daily Nsaos.
