PARTY ORGANIZATION IN NGRGINIA.-1hc
attempt recently made by n few gentlemen In
Richmond to organize a"Walker Party IN the
State, has failed entirely, so far as we can learn,
and every good citizen ought to be thankful
therefor. There is no issue now dlvlHlnG the
people of this State, except pro ;crlptlon, which
is advocated by the extreme Radicals alone
and there can lie no ground Tor forming such
marty organization as that c)nicmplated un!eSS
il be the spois Of Federal olticr. We hope
that none of our people are fools enough, Ii
they are willing, to enter into the scramble lor
these offices They have no NOR" chance Tor
them than the man that is sad tn lnhaElt the

of State Offices in short time will lick up
every crumb OF Federal patroCa"" that may
be dispensed in Virginia.

Advice to the Girls.

Do not estimate the worth of young
man by his ability to talk nonsense, nor
by the length of his mustache.
Do not imagine that an extra ribbon,
tied about the neck, can remedy the
defect of soiled collar or an untidy
dress.
If your hands are Drowned by labor,
do not envy tho lily fingers of Miss Fuss
and Feathers, whose mother works in
the kitchen, while she lounges in the par
Tor.
IL dandy, with cigar between his
fingers, asks you if smoking is offensive
to you, tell him empbaticslIy Yes"
The habit should be, even though the
odor may not.
Do not waste your tears on the imag-
mary sorrows of Alouzo and Melissa,
nor the trials of the dime novel heroines.
Seek rather to alleviate the woos of the
suffering ones on the ea,th.
If your dress is inconveniently long,
and gentleman steps upon it, don't be
angry, but meekIy beg his pardon, as you
ought.
Always cherish partially for the
smell of dishwater. 1t is more condu

CURING A SNAKE BITE WITH FIRE
A correspondent of the Galveston Medi-
cal Journal narrates the following incl

was cured by fire. A young man eigh-
teen years of age was bitten by a rattle
snake on the arm, above the elbow
A coal of fire was applied short time
after he was bitten. | saw him two

small and frequent, complaining con-
stantly of the burn. which was pretty Sc

alchohol. His recovery was rapid, and
swelling in the arm slight. The ques

the virus to considerable extent, bu:
also by producing local incapacity in the
the veins and absorbent vessels to per-
form their functions. | think. in all

been applied.

Women took an active part in the re.
cent political campaign in Massachusetts,.
Senator Monroe, Roxtury, who voted
against womsn's suffrage at the last ses
sion, came near being defeated by the
vigorous action of women. Several wo :
men of Worcester appeared at the polls
and claimed the right to vote, but of
course being refused, they remained at
the polls electioneering and distributing
tickets for their favorite candidates.
