SINGULAR FREAK OF LIGHTNING.-Wc
saw few days ago on the farm of Mr.. g..
D. Peasants, few miles below the city, q
small oak tree about ten inches in diane

stroyed by stroke of lightning. The fluid
seems to have entered the tree on the top,
splitting it all the way down, and scattering
bark, leaves, and pieces of wood in a ra-
dius of ninety feet. There was not a solid
piece of the body left two inches thick.

DEATH OF Join L. TATE, Eso.-On yes
terday morning, at about twenty minutes
past 8 o'clock, John L. Tate, Esq, one of
our oldest and most respected citizens,
breathed his last. His death was to himself
not unexpected, as he had for months ex-
pressed the conviction that his end was ap-
ever, had not. looked for his demise until
his last Illness during which he fingered
longer than they could have hoped for.
Mr.. Tate was born in Goochland county
on the 18th day of March, 1899, and was
consequently in his sixty-ninth year at the
time Of his death. He remained at the
home of his birth during the early years of
his life, and first went to Hanover, where
he finished his education. In 1915 he re-
moved to Richmond, where his ready busi-
ness talent and sterling character soon OBJ
tanned for him a trusty position. He was
appointed, first, deputy sheriff of the city,
in which place he gave so much satisfaction
that he was ere long appointed deputy City
Sergeant. Here, also, he served faithfully !;
and was subsequently elected as magis-
trate of the city. He was chosen Recorder,
which position he held for about thirty
years. For the last fifteen years or SO he
has engaged in no active business.
Squire Tatc-as he was most familiarly
known-was one of that class Of men which
isso rapidly decreasing in these times, when
men place so little value upon honor and
fidelity. He was one of another and better
age, when man would sooner suffer his
right hand to be severed from his body than
wilfully take an unfair advantage of one Of
his fcllow-creatures. He was good repre-
sentative of that Augustan age of old Vir-
ginia in which he spent the prime of his
life. A purer, honester, or more magnani-
nous man than he does not live in the city
of Richmond to-day. Faithful in every
adversely to his friends, kind and charita-
bletowards all with whom he was thrown
in the public walks Of life, and possessing
q remarkable degree of candor and sin
cerity towards all with whom he came III
contact, he drew around him large num-
Der of true friends, and though he leaves
behind him but few very near relatives, he
will be followed to his grave by many n
mourner. As he came among us, pure,
true, and without stain, he has passed
away, and one cannot but sigh with regret
at the reflection that there are but so few
like him left behind. -.sj ...-..-.
His funeral takes place at | | o'clock this
morning from the Monumental church.

Relics OF the Middle Ages.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
dol Times, says; In digging out the
foundations for some new buildings il
the Place la Blstile, situated at tie
entrance of the Rue Saint Antoine
some interesting discoveries have beer
made. Massive blocks of solid masonry
have been come upon, which no doubt
belonged to the ancient fortress that
stood on this site, the first stone Oi
which was laid b. HugueS AmbriOt
prevOt of Paris, on the 22d of April, 1870
Originally, the Bastile Saint Antoine
had but two towers, but two Others
were soon added; and the edifico was
still further enlarged in the reign OF
Charles VI and Henry II. This BastiIe
which was raised for protecting the cap.
ital from the attacks of the Bourguig-
mons and the English, afterward served
the purposes of State prison. Henry
W deposited there for safe keeping the
royal treasury; and Sully tells, in his
memoirs, that about the year 1910 the
King had slowed away in the vaults of
the building SIS ,S7S, 900 in coin, besides
10000, 900 put aside as a sinking fund.
Some passages, steps and cells almost
perfect, have been net with ; and among
other remains of past ages a rifed can
non has turned up. which shows that
the boasted invention of modern times
is not new. but dats some FIVE hundred
centuries back. Tle progress of the
excavations, which are constaptly bring
ing some interesting object to light, is
watched with grea' Curiosity by the
Parisians, who daily surround the place
in large numbers"

A Sad Story.

The following accident recently took
place very close to Kosciusko's grave,
at Zuchwyl, in tho Swiss canton of
Soleure: A Swiss major, by the name
of Bednarsky, scarcely thirfy.six years
old, who had fought bravely in fifteen
battles, had arrived at Zuchwyl to pay
homage to the great hero of Poland at
his humble grave in the Swiss village
churchyard. While some Swiss infant
~ soldiers were firing at target, he
took a walk TO the hanks CT the Aar,
taking his little eighteen-months-old
son with him. Although he was be-
tween two and three thousand yards
from the infantrymen, one of the bull
lets fred by them pierced his heart and
killed him on the spot. When he did
not return two hoars after, his wife,
who had awaited him at the village
hotel, grew uneasy, and went in search
of him. She found his corpse; the lit
tie child slept peacefully on his fathers
breast. The distress of the poor wild.
ow excited the greatest compassion
throughout Switzerland.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Steele, of Paris Publishes an arti,
Gle very interesting Q Portsmen, and
states that with lite care many acci.
dents could be avoled. Out of lOC
cases of double ba1led gun bursting
ninety five can be trsed to defects in
the left barrel. Th,reason is simply
that the right is mo frequently used
and reloaded, perhapsteA times to the
left one being dissE.ed once. Every
time the right barrel discharged the
guupowder in the Il is pulverized,
more OF less, by the shk, which, there.
fore, leaves q space bereen the charge
and the wadding by Sting. Natural
ly when the left barrss disch Irged il

can be avoided by senog the ramrod

After Marriage.

The following is from Mr.. To@ie's ar,
ticle on "French Marriages" in Hours al
Home, for November: "The young wife,
who has been close prisoner all her
life, whose every movement mas Deeh
narrowly watched, who could NOT put
her foot beyond the threshold OF her
home except in company with one OF
her elders; who. if she has been sent to
school, has found herself literally sur
rounded by high, blank walls, shutting
ont the world; whose every natural
emotion has been carefully controlled
finds herself at once. all of sudden, en-
dowed with unrestricted freedom to do
what she pleases. From absolute con-
finement she has leapt with bound in
to absolute liberty. She is amazed to
find herself on the street alone; she has
entered almost new state of being.
Ard if she has spirit, vivacity, and no
very Substantial leaven Of moral and re-
ligioas feeling, she is apt to abuse her
new found freedom, and to enjay its Ii
censes to excess.
"The young husband pursues much
the same course of life which he pursued
in the days of bachelorhood; perhaps, if
there is any change, it is to greater
luxuriousness, to "A more inveterate de-
votion to selfish and enervating pleas
ure. The augmentation of his fortune
in large preponderance of cases his
Indictment to marriage,-enables him to
give himself up with less restraint to
self fgratifcation. Instead of driving TO
the races in hack, and taking place
in the large booth with the complnne rat
gus, he may now be transported thil her
ia his own barouche, attended by liyer-
led coachman and footman, and may
sit beneath the same pavilion which
shelters the august heads of the sport
ing aristocracy.s He was wont, in the
old days, to mount the third gallery of
the theatre; he may now have his loge
for the season at both theatre and opera,
fresh pair of gloves every night, and
his enameled lorgnette, with which to
ogle the painted beauties OF the stage,
and the false-haired and eye-browed
bellies in the stalleS. Instead of French
cigars, he will have genuine Cuban; in
stead of the rim ordinaire, he will sip St.
Julien and Clquet. He has hitherto
belonged to little puny club in an OBJ
scure faubourg; he will now be elected
to an aristoCratic society in the Rue St.
Honore; and whereas he formerly con-
tented himself with retreat to the pa
rental country-seat in August, he will
now be found amusing himself with
rouge-et-noir at Baden, promenading the
seashore and flirting with other mems
