FLYING Without WIngs.

All, me but you should see the

yet. have seen the Hanlons in their
fsats of zampillaerostation. have seen
Leoiard do the same (ouly II little moro),
under another name. have seen Pau,
the Russian, excel both. But theirs
were all tame performances beside the
miraculous flights Of the Brothers Ria.
relli, who start from opposite sides Of
the building at the same time, turn
double SomsrSnults in the mir, and, each
catching the Others flying trapsze,
complete the passage, up in the air,
across tho edifice. The difficulties Of
this feat arc so well described by u jour.
nalist who sat beside me-, and has ex
pressed his conception Of those difi-
cultiss in very ineligible language,
that you must really excuse me for quot
ing it. He says - In the ordinary act,
the performer has the bar for which he
has to leap set in motion for him by an
assistant. 1t has Il regular pendulum
like motion, so that he \ calculate to
an inch where it will be when he makes
his spring. In the act of the Rizarellis,
they have no such assistance. Each
takes his bar and starts, and each has
got to catch the opposite bar wherever
he can find il. When y man 10 swing
ing backward, with his head down, aud
has to turn n Somerssult 30 feet from
the ground before he can see whore the
bar he is going for is, il will be seen
that the job is not one that the average
man would undertake in tho flesh.
Where the RIzarellis leave their bars,
it is almost impossible 10 do so without
more or less of jerk, and II rsry slight
jerk indeed is sufficient to throw the bar
q good deal ont Of its course. Hence,
if the performer finds the bar on one
side, he is obliged to alter his course
accordingly. which, without wings or
wires, it must be conceded is u thing
reserved for genius to do. II it has
been thrown above his reach, he has
nothing to DO but to climb for it, and
climbing in mid-air, with nothing to
start from aud nothing to lay mold of,
is difficult work, in fact theoretically
impossible, hui these fellows doit. How,
We cannot sry."-N.. Y. Cor. Sc Call.

New POSTMASTER At VIRGINIA Cry
Well, we have been prepared to hear
almost anything from Washington
lately, in which Senator Stewar. was
concerned, but We are certainly sur
prised by the telegrnphic dispatch which
can be seen in another column, an
~nouncing the removal Of that efficient
and honest Postmaster, Captain War
ner, in Virginia City, and the appoint
ment of d. o. Addison in his stead.
That the present incumbent has been
the best Postmaster Virginia City has
ever had, no one will deny who knows
anything of the Office, and why he
should be removed is certainly n
mystery. The Geographic dispatch
stated that he has been removed but
we sincerely hope that the telegraph
has made n mistake, and that "Treas-
ure City was intended instead OF
Virginia City" We shall await further
adviccs from Washington concerning
this removal and appointment.

PEoPLs AT WurrE Pine. - Evans
writes from White Pine to the Alta,
saying:
"Thc reports about 200 or 300 men
being in daily pursuit of labor and
unable to obtain employment in this
district are wholly untrue, Mt least so
far as able-bodicd miners and mecEan-
les are concerned. There is an abund-
auce for such men to do, at tail prices.
There are men Of no trade, profession
or capital here in abundance, doing
nothing or worse, and living from hand
to mouth but such men never had any
business here in the first place, and
they only give any district II bad name.
The towns are also filed with abau-
doned women the streets fairly swarm
with them ; they appear to come from
all directions, aud Of course thrive
where gamblers are as thick as they
arc here; the two hunt together all
ways"

MY PICTURE.


Ny sainted mother gave to me,
In childhood's happy days,
A charm that keeps my spirit free
From dark or sinful ways;
It wears the meekness finer brow,
Her mild yet earnest eye,
Her truthful lips-so silent now
Whose breath was borne on high.
So lovely is its constant smile,
1t almost seems to speak,
The more | gaze upon it, while
The tears steal down my cheek.
For all the world I would not give
That face Of holy will;
For all the world / would not live
Without it, counsel still.
Because its voice il in my breast
When in my prayers I kneel;
1t gives to me the sweetest rest y.
The human heart may feel;
It follows on my daily path,
My actions to control,
And guards me from the pain or wrat
That meets the SHINING soul.
She watched me in my cradlc-care,
IAN angel from above)
In youth I knelt with her in prayer,
And felt her guiding love;
And now in manhood will a "
This relic Of her truth;
And strive to honor her who gave
An honor to my youth.

Tho secret Drnwer-A Romantic Story.
The German paper Press Libre re-
counts II story which would furnish
materials for y romance. A gentleman
of Y, who possessed an illustrious
name, protected n young girl Of rare
beauty, whom he had made his mistress,
The gentleman, being we'll advanced In
age, felt rather Jealous, aud III order to
conceal his treasure from the gallants
Of the capital, he carefully shut her mp
10 one Of his ehateaux. At that time,
the Young dame was in the way TO be-
come u mother. In the year 1874, du-
ring the month Of May, he wrote to her
saving that in II testament that he had
lust ordered TO be made, he had provided
in a princely manner for tho child that
was shortly to be born. But man pro-
poses and God disposes. Before even
the letter could arrivs at its destination,
u terrible fit Of npoplexy suddenly took
him from this world, and his mistress
was delivered ut the same time Of q very
pretty boy. On the will being opened,
il was found that the sole horitors were
two daughters Of the count, NO codicil
being found. Several years passed
away. The child grew up and studied
medicine ut the University of Bonn,
until the year 1865. Hero COM
msnced q strange complication. Nine.
de l., one of the daughters Of the old
gentleman, sought at this time II teacher
for her son., already nea attaining his
majority, and by II singular coincidence
her choice fell upon her " illegiti-
mate brother. On his arrival At the
mansion he was charged to examine the
library and to dispose OF it according
to the needs OF his young pupil. While
he was occupied in arranging the books
and papers, a writing fortunately fell
into his hands which indicated the
manner of opening mn old piece Of
family.furniture. The tutor FASTENED
| TO make known what he had found, and
by curiosity put himself to the work Of
| open;ng the article in question. In a
drawer he discovered the codicil which
left TO the natural infant million
thalcrs (el5O, 000). Some days after,
our hero, in writing TO his mother, whs
had carefully concealed from him the
mystery of his birth, made known to
her the singular discovery which he had
made. Then the happy mother hast
| ened 10 tell her son that he himself wal
the heritor Of whom the codicil spoke,
after which, in concert they claimed
from the family Of M.de & capital and
interest. Tho Legitimate hsritors re-
| fused to accede to their request, so pro.
eeedings for the recovery OF the legacy
have been commenced.

ONWARD WE NOVEL

The proceedings of the late Railroad meeting
at Harrisonburg, appear in our columns this
morning. They are important, as showing
the hearty cooperation of the people of the
Upper Valley, with our own, in support of the
eastern route for the connection of the Shen-
andoah Valley and Cumberland Valley Rail-
roads The proceedings to which we refer,
speak for themselves, are full of hope and en-
enlargement, and We have only to press the
matter earnestly to bring it to successful
consummation.
We know that our friends in the counties of
Warren, Page and Rockingham are in earnest,
and if we will co our duty in Jefferson and
Clarke, the time is not distant when we shall
have trains running through these counties
from North to South.
at the meeting at Harrisonburg, it was re-
solved that the engineer corps in the service
of Jefferson county, be employed to continue
the survey for the entire route. This corps
is already organized, under the most efficient
auspices, and will at once proceed to the dis,
charge of its duties.
The space occupied by the proceedings Of
the Harrisonburg meeting, and the able com,
mum cation On the subject, which we publish
this morning, renders anything further from
us unnecessary this week.

TROUBLE IN CAMP.

The Radical party of West Virginia seems
to be in very unquiet condition. Sometime
ago the Wheeling Intelzigencer published an
address, of some one hundred and forty voters
Of Ohio county, advising the voters of the
State to elect men to the Legislature who
should be in favor of doing away with some
of the many enormities of legislation which
had been heaped upon the people of the
State; and in which they distinctly advised
the immediate repeal of the test oath for law
yers, jurors, suitors, and teachers, and gradu-
ally, the repeal of the oath in all other cases.
This address fell like bomb-shell in the
camp of the radical army; and the result has
been stampede of large number of its best
soldiers. In many counties of the State, the
OBJECTIONS have been so numerous as to justi-
fly, in the opinion of those engaged in it, the
formation of a new conservative party, and
the presentation of candidates for the Legis-
lature to run in direct opposition to the ultra
radical nominees.
In Berkeley and Jefferson there are already
several candidates of the moderately radical
eilpe PuI 3OtnIu 4of tue PIdCes Vi ScuatOIs
and Delegates. The Hon. B. NJ. Kitchen,
for instance, is out for the Senate, with Messrs.
Luce and Lamon for the House, and they
present their claims to popular favor in an
address, which will be found in this paper.
This address will repay perusal by our readers,
as it will show how differently the former
radical leaders talk now from what they did
anterior to the late elections-especially those
held in Virginia and Tennessee. The days
of ultra radicalsm are numbered; aud the
men of brains and substance, who have here
toforc upheld the party, are fast being brought
to a sense of their errors by the loud voice of
an indignant people, and are scrambling as
fast as possible into the front of the new move

mourning and all business suspended on the

the War and Navy Departments cause suitable
military and naval honors to be paid on this
oncasion to the memory of the illustrious

DEATH OF THOMAS L. MooRE.-This
gentleman died on the 9th ult. at the Pro-
testant Infrmary, Baltimore in the S0th year
Of his age.
He was native of shepherdstown, Jeffer-
son county, Va. In 1911 he became a resi-.
dent of Warrenton, and for many years sub
sequently practiced law in Fauquier and the
adjacent counties with great success, the bar
at that time being one of the most distin>
guished in the State for ability.
He married Miss E. s. Horner, second
daughter of the late DR.. G. B. Horner, by
whom he had large number of children,
none of whom survive him.
In his halcyon days he was remarkable for
literary requirements, brilliant conversation
and an inexhaustible fund of anecdote.
He always manifested lively interest in
political affairs, and when this district was
composed of the counties of Fauquier, and
Culpep er, he was elected to the Congress of
the o. s., as its representative Rarrenton
Inder.
