A correspondent describing the
Commencement exercises as Wash

ginia, thus speaks Of the tomb Of
Gen. Lee:
Hundreds Of people visited, on
yesterday, the tomb ~ Lee, which Is
IN the basement u Lee Chapel. The
neat marble slab which covers the
vnult, the simple inscription, Robert
Edward I.ee--B Born January Is, 1907
Died October II, $780, the railing OF
black walnut, the posts capped with
flowers, evergreens and imfnor-
telles, impressed every one With
the exceeding good taste with which
everything had been arranged. But
we had opportunity, on yesterday, Of
Judging what the tomb would he
when the design Of the Memorial As
ISOLATION Is carried out. Valentine,
the gifted young sculptor, has placed
near the tomb his model In plaster Of
the sarcophagus which the Lee Me-
mortal Association propose to place
over his grave.
1t represent General Lee ns asleep
in his nightly bivouac beneath the
stars, his military cloak around him,
and one hand lightly resting upon the
sword which lies at his side. The
face Is copied from the bust which
Valentine made, just few months
before General Lees death; and
which has been pronounced by fami-
ly and friends q speaking likeness.
The posture Is easy and graceful, just
the position In which the old hero
used to sleep. The couch on which it
rests Is inscribed with the coat OF

The interest excited by the narrow
gauge err rapidly approaching, devel-
ops much Information Of movement
to those who watch the progress Of the
science Of engineering. It appears
that narrow gauge locomotive, with
driving wheels 80 inches In diameter,
and cylinder with Is inch stroke, at o
speed Of SO miles per hour, develops
the same speed OF piston as o full
gauge locomotive with 8 feet driving
wheels and cylinder with "a inch
stroke, Mt a speed Of 40 miles per hour.
With driving wheels 40 inches in d.
Ameter, and 10 inches stroke, of pis-
ton, the narrow gauge locomotive
develops the same travel Of piston in
going one mile as does the full gauge
locomotive with 60 inch driving
wheels and "a inch stroke Of piston.
Equal speeds are therefore attainable
OH the narrow gauge as on the full
gauge. The angle Of stability of the
narrow gauge locomotive, with 3 feet
driving wheel, 10 somewhat greater
than that of the common locomotive
with 5 feet driving wheel. Many in
terested In the success Of the narrow
gauge system have been puzzled to
understand why engineers claim
equal safety and speed for the former
with the wider gauge. The above
facts give the reasons for those claims.

THE FOLLY OF ATTEMPTING TO
CONTINUE YOUNa.-Once for all,
there Is no misery so distressful as the
desperate agony Of trying to keep
young when one can't. I know an
old bachelor who has attempted it,
His affectation Of youth, like oil af-
tectations, is melancholy failure
He Is rapid young man Of fifty
lie piles innocent young ladies with
the pretty compliments and soft moth
ings In vogue when he was spoony
youth Of twenty. The fashion OF
talking to young ladies has changed
within thirty years, you know, and
this aged boys soft nothing seem
more out OF date than q two-year old
bonnet. They make you think,
somehow, of that time-hOnOred frog
story wherein is set forth the discov-
cry of galvanic electricity. When
tics-his galvantic gallantry, so to
speak-and hear the speeches he
makes to girls in their teens, when
he ought to be talking to them like Il
father, you involuntarily call him an
old idiot, and long to remind him Of
that quaint rebuke Of grand old John:
"rhou talkest like one upon whose
head the shell is to this very day."
This Is how 1t seems. He Is old
enough to have been almost full
fledged before you were born, and
here he is trying to make believe that
he is still IN the days of his gosling-
green, with the shell sticking on his
head to this day! 1t is melancholy
absurdlty. One can't be young UNI
less one is young. Only once Is 1t
given to us to be untried and soft,
and gushing and superlative, and
heeting days.-Lippincotts Maga-
zine,

A Story About Gen. Cass.
Col. Forney writes:

COl. forney wrlteS: tsa.a Na@ e
John Guy bore a striking resemblance to
Gen. Lewis Cass, and while he was pro-
prietor of the National Hotel, in Washing
ton, the Michigan Senator was among his
favored guests. Guy dressed like Cass,
and although not as portly, his face, nclud-
ing the wart, was strangely similar. One
day Western friend of the house came in
after long ride, dusty and tired, and walk
ing up to the office encountered Gen., Cass,
who was quietly standing there. Mistaking
him for Guy, he slapped him on the shoulder
and exclaimed: We'll, old fellow, here |
am; the last time ! hung my hat up in
your shanty one of your clerks sent me to
the fourth story; but now that have got
hold of you, insist upon lower room. y
The General, a most dignifcd parsonage,
taken aback by this startling salute, coldly
replied: 'sYou have committed mistake,
sir. am not Mr.. Guy, | am Gen. Cass,
of Michigan" and angrily turned away.
The Western man was shocked at the un-
conscious outrage he had committed; but
before he had recovered from his mortiica-
ton, Gen. Cass, who had passed around
the office, confronted him again, when, a
second time mistaken him for Guy, hefaced
him and said: "IIere you are at last.
have just made a devil of a mistake; met
old Cass and took him for you, and am
afraid the Michigander has gone off mad. "
What Gen. Cass would have said may well
be imagined, if the real Guy had not
appeared and rescued the innocent offender
from the twice assailed and twice angered
statesman. t.,s,s,,.. ,s,'r ,t.ess

Republican Mass Meeting Last Nights
township assembled at the colored Societies
Hall, for the purpose of completing the
election of delegates to represent that town.
ship in the Chester Nominating Convention.
The night before, Richard Waldridge,
Thomas Mann, and w. L. Martin had
been chosen as delegates, to whom was
added, last night, the name of William l..
Holt. These four will constitute the Man
chester township delegation. -
After the election of delegates, the meet
ing determined to instruct the delegates as
to whom they should support as the candi-
dates for the various offices to be filled at
the next election. ~ .iigii som 4. aI.ii -
BY a large and impressive majority vote,
the Hon. b. T. Edwards and Hon. Sam'l
f. Maddox were pronounced the choice of
that township, to be elected as members of
the House of Delegates. sra :.
Messrs. Edwards and Maddox represented
Chesterfield in the last legislature, and all
though strong efforts were made TO induce
the party to believe they had proven ineffi-
cient, they made but little impression upon
the friends of these gentlemen. v.
The records of the Legislature deny such
assertions more imprcssively than could the
friends Of either the gentlemen. i,iss +.
Resolutions expressive of confidence in
Hon. Charles ii. Porter, Messrs. Edwards
and Maddox were unanimously adopted.
We will publish these resolutions with
pleasure when furnished us. .igy
We beg the Republicans of Chesterfield
and elsewhere to exclude positicely from
their meetings all persons who are UNI
friendly to them. The hall contained last
night as many, or more, Democrats than
Republicans, who, although frequently re-
quested to remain quiet, left nothing UNI
done to create confusion and discord. -
Politeness is one of our weaknesses, but
we see no want of it in excluding persons
from these meetings who are unfriendly
and disposed to disturb their proceedings.
Religious. Preaching at the Baptist
church at II A. NJ. and P. NJ. iHAf
Methodist Episcopal church--the quarter
ly meeting viii be held. Rev. Leroy M.
Lee will preach morning and night.
At the Meade Memorial church, the sac
rament of the Lords Supper will be adj
ministered at the close of the morning SER

Meeting at all other churches, as we have
not been informed of any changes. j.
Marriage Licenses. There were fifteen
marriage licenses issued by the clerk Of the
county court during the month of August

was done. Additional security was given
