gorge, passing small stream, Is in

formation that warmed the frigid soul
Of Washington, and called forth the
poetic description Of Jefferson, SO ia

surrounded by rugged bills, and nes-
ties in the shadow Of lofty mountains,
which rise with real grandeur on every
side.
Most OF the surrounding country
is divided into small farms, and is
well cultivated. This section is on
the great watershed of the interior.
VARIOUS RIVERS.
The Kauawha, the Shenandoah, the
James, the Potomac, the Cumberland
and the Tennessee, all swell into great
rivers froma thousand brooks that gush
from these hills and mountains. And,
in every valley and gorge there are
mineral springs, many Of them we'll

base Of the Blue Ridge. twelve miles
east of the bridge, North River is
joined by the South branch, and both
meet to form the James. 4 great

the mountain, and through it the
waters wildly rush, whilst on either
side wooded peaks are supported by
piles of battered rocks, and shining

An Illinois paper says: ''People
at this season should look out for
the large worm which infests tomato
vines. Its sting is deadly poison.
1t is of green color, two or three
inches long, and as large as a mans
finger. At Red Creek, Wayne
county, servant girl, while gather
ing tomatoes, received a puncture
from one of these worms, which
made q sensation similar to that of
a bee sting. In a short time the
poison penetrated to every part of
the system, and she was thrown into
spasms, which ended in death.

former reached there on his way to
Petersburg. Breckenridge, who had
been watching Hunter from the Blue

prevented Sheridan from reaching
Hunter. Hampton and Rosser fought
Sheridan two days at Tersilian's Sta

on Grants right, whilst Early and
Breckenridge pursued Hunter toward
the Ohio, which he reached with great
loss Hunters needless delay at
Staunton and Lexington caused this
disaster. It was intended to capture

CHARLOTTESVILLE.
Northeast, sixty -one miles by rail
the traveller reaches Charlottesville,
with its 5000 people, maguifeently
located in Albemarle county, one of
the richest sections of the State. The
county from the tide-water to the Blue
Ridge is known as Piedmont. This
is very old place, dating its history
from 1852, and the adjacent country
is most beautiful. Generally undu-
iating, there are many little mountains
standing up like pyramids, lending
a charm to the scenery, while brooks
aud small rivers, leaping from noun
Lains in the west, flow eastward to the
James, intensifying the beauty of the
andscape. In all the country from
Lexington to this place, the soil

DoYs' (APPRENTICEs') RIGHTS. -
The New York Times thinks the
Congressional printer perfectly JUST
fed in enlarging the number OF APP
prentices in the Government Office,
Notwithstanding the opposition of a
portion Of the journeymon. The
editor says:
''In all trades there is opposition
nowadays to the taking on" of APP
prentices; and in many trades the
unions have 80 limited the employ
ers in the matter that they are alto
gether helpless. AS consequence,
boys find it difficult to get the OPP
portunity of learning trade, and
they are thus deprived of the means
of obtaining an independent liveli-
hood for life, while, at the same time
the industry of the country is de-
prived of their services in pursuits
at which their labor would he of the
highest value. This is all wrong
Boys ought not only to be freely
permitted, but encouraged to learn a
trade which they may choose, and
for which they are fitted, Let them
be compelled, if SO it please the jour>
neymen, to serve long apprentice
ship, to submit to rigid terms, and
to be content with small pay but
don't let them be altogether prohib-
tied from learning the craft to which
they may be attracted.

GEOLOGICAL CHANGEs.-There is no
such thing as perfect rest in nature.
If no alterations occurred there would
be, no progress. Ii does not require
o scientific education to convince any
one of common understanding that
the hills and dales were ouce under
water. On the highest mountain
peaks in Syria, between Jerusalem
and Damascus the. traveller sees mar.
inc shells which belonged to prim-
tive sea, Far inland on the Atlantic
borders of the Southern States, i'm
mense beds and reefs of coral show
clearly that the sea once occupied
the regions of dry land where these
tokens theological changes are found.
How plain it is that thel mighty seas
and oceans which cover very nearly
two thirds of the earth's surface are
slowly but steadily shifting their bor>
ders So gradual are the movements
of the waters that centuries of care
full observation would be required to
define the exact rate of encroach-
ment in some countries. But snail
pace as it is, the water gradually
creeps over the land. While gaining
in one direction new land is coming
into view in another. bringing on its
uprising crest the remains of animals
and plants peculiar to the watery ell
ementl Like Spanish fandango,
while one side goes up the other goes
down. Thus every atom entering
into the organization of this magnifi
cent globe moves and shares in the
neverending motion on which tie
stability of this and the whole mate
rial universe depends.

Tho Rules of the Road.

The Ptoaghman expounds the law
OF the road, after this good sense
fashion
1t is commonly said that every
one has a right to half the road -
This is practically true, and comes
about In this wise. You and meet
upon the road, Our legal rights are
exactly equal, and both have right
TO go our several ways without OBJ
struction SO popularity we say own
half and you half The law steps
in to facilitate matters. and directs
each to turn towards his right hand
This Is true whatever the load or
team; for if one can drive such a
team that another can pass him but
with difficulty or not at oil, then
their rights are no longer equal
This point becomes very important
in winter, for it is no joke TO turn
your horse and all in to the deep
snow while your neighbor goes
smoothly along in the beaten path.
NO one has right SO to load his
team as not to be able to give up
half the track to whoever demands
it. A footman may choose the part
which pleases him, or any portion OF
his right hand half of the way, and
the team must yield it to him. This
Is clearly so in winter and no man
is obliged to step into the snow for
one or two horses This il the law
and the courts award it.
Now for the manners of the road
which in some instances, vary from
the law thereof. The first require
ment of road manners is good nature
and an accommodating spirit. Do
to others as you would have them
do to you. Always be willing to
yield more than half the space, then
you will be pretty sure to be equally
we'll treated. They who exact inches
will have inches exacted of them. II
your neighbor has a heavy load
his consult convience as far as possible
you may Sometimes be loaded. It hal
become pratical rule of courtesy
TO turn Tor heavy teams, especially
in winter, and when the roads are
heavy. But remember it was a fav.
or, not your right, and you have 3
reciprocal duty to preform, and one
which, | am sorry to observe, is not
always borne in mind.
One word in relation to teams 90
ing the same way, in which case
many seem to think there is neither
law nor manners. When a team
comes up behind you, that team ha,
q right to reasonable space anc
opportunity to pass on.-and in fact
to half the road for that purpose
and your obstructing him in his
lawful desire is both bad manners
and bad law. Ifyour load is heavy
do the best you can. In most cases
the very least that can be asked il
that you should stop. This is partic
ularly so in the winter, when it is q
heavy tax on team to force it into
g trot in deep snow, or deep mud
or frozen or deep ruts,-msde ne.
cessary by your continuing to move
on.

Price of Cattle.

Early in the summer, it was
thought that the price of beef cattle
would break down. An immense
number were thrown upon the mar
ket the importation of Texan stock
continued heavy, in spite of the pro>
hibitory State law "a number of dis
tilleries stopped working, and the
cattle, at that time being fed in
them, were thrown upon an already
overstocked market. The reader
will naturally ask, then why did not
the market break down and prices
recede to rates corresponding to the
prices of grain? The reason is this :
One or two leading stock men in this
State-indeed, it is said that one
heavy cattle raiser almost alone-in-
itiated and carried out the movement
Game On to this city and comm enc
cd purchasing cattle freely, aud send
ing them back into the country
They did this as a matter of self
preservation, as they had large num-
bers of cattle on hand, and they
could not afford to let them decline
on their hands, as large decline
would bankrupt them. OF course,
the movement initiated by them to
bull the market was bold and risky
venture. 1t virtually contemplated
keeping up prices all over the United
States. But nevertheless, it succeed
ed. Cattle are now selling at prices
ranging from $3.50 10 81 per hun>
dEed on the foot. Had it not been fol-
this bull movement of one or two
bold operators, prices would prob
ably have receded to half these rates
This bold operation illustrates the
power which concentrated wealth
possesses to raise the price of com
moditles In its interest. The question
arises, to what extent should State
proceed in neutralizing such opera
tions as the above p Chicago Repub-
Lcan.

The Story of a Physi clan.

An eminent physician, in Hearth
and Home, tells the folio ing excel
lent story for the benefit Of young
mothers. He says: can intelligent
young mother inquired some days
since how she could best preserve
her child's linen clean and sweet
when changed frequently during the
day. l directed her never to dry it
by the fire, but in the sun and open
air If the weather permitted. You
thus not only avoid saturating the
air OF your rooms with the volatile
and poisonous gases driven out of
the linen, but the suns rays have
powers of cleansing and disinfecting,
which artificial heat has not, and
will purify and preserve the linen.

fastidious husband demonstrated in
vain against this unseemly exposure.
Believing that if she saw her prac>

walk as to bring the nursery-win,
dow into full view from central
part Of the town. Stopping abrupt
ly, he pointed to the offending linen
tapping conspicuously in the breeze,
and asked sarcastieally: "My dear,
what is that displayed from our
Window" Why" she proudly re-
piled, "that is the flag of our Union p
Conquered by this pungent retort,
he saluted the flag with swing OF
his hat, and pressing his wife's arm
closer within his own, said, as they
walked homeward, "And long may

ing finished its march in America,
has crossed the ocean. Americans
in London are startled by hearing
the well-known words sung at re-

of working men in the streets. His
soul went marching on into st. James
Hall the other night, and rejoiced as
it saw liberty cap stuck upon a
Harper's Ferry pike, and planted on
the platform, from which the Tories
fled in dismay. A writer says !:

while the Cubans are educated abroad
scarcely more than one in q hundred
are educated in Spain. Nearly half
are educated in the United States,
many in France, and some in Ger

there is strong dislike among them
to Spain, although the mother coun,

ideas of the Cubans are foreign also,
and that thus they will not unwii-

We call attention to the following
sections ofthe General Laws of Wis.
consin, in regard to destroying nox-
ious weeds. Let each lone examine
