burg and Lexington will not be complete
until next fall.
A colored man had bis nose broken and
bis face badly mashed, in Alexandria, a
few days ago, BY the falling lid of an ice
box.
A young son of George A. Kinnice. of
Lynchburg, was quite seriously injured
few days ago by stone thrown by an
other boy. -
Lynchburg is charmed that it has com.

A valuable mule, owned by Dr. Everitt

Cause: sleepy driver.
A young Methodist divine, now filling
one of the pulpits in Lynchburg, is said
to be creating considerable interest thsre.
He is said to be quite young.
Botetourt has found a human skeleton
together with the skull OF an infant and
hint arrow socket. Indians must have
been about there once upon time.
Cheering news reaches us from Lynch
burg. The Democrats are not SO sure of
success, and unless they attempt to secure
the. election by fraud, are mighty apt to
be defeated.
The Chapmans, attended by the irie-
resistible Bishop, gave one of their charm
ing concerts in Lynchburg Monday last to
a crowded house. Why did Miss Ella
pass Richmond We wonder why.
The Lynchburg Republican is mad with
some Of its citizens because they allow
themselves to be voted for by Radicals and
negroes. 1t is not so with Us here. and
it is the first time we ever heard of a
Democrat not wishing to have the votes

AMONG the few good things done by the
Commune during its reign in Paris, was an
investigation, conducted under its auspices,
into the affairs of the Mont de Piete.-
This institution, it may be explained, does
all the pawn-broking business in the
French capitol, is under the control of the
government, and is supposed to be a
charitable establishment for the benefit of
the poor. 1t nevertheless borrows money
at three per cent. and lends it at twelve to
fourteen. Its profits, which go to the sup
port of the city hospitals, amounted, in
1869, to about 100000, while its ex-
penses, in salaries alone, reached the dis
proportionate sum of $4,000.
The amount of its loans was found to be
$7,00O,0O0 while the value of the pledges
which it holds as security against these
reached $50, 100000. The Commune pro-
posed to liquidate the concern, and substi-
tute in its place "a social organization, as
suring to the workmen guarantees of
assistance and support in case of want Of
work or of Sickness" The new rulers of
Paris may earn no little popularity by
taking a hint on this much-needed reform
from their predecessors.

THE MONUMENTAL CHURCH FESTIVAL.
The ladies of this church are holding O
festival for the benefit of their Sabbath
school, on Broad street, between Ninth and
Tenth. Delicious strawberries and cream
are there dispensed, and the solid demands
of the appetite are provided for.
II every one of our citizens, who wishes
to regale himself or friends, would take
the trouble to step round and patronize
these excellent ladies, fund would be
provided equal to the needs of the school
for year to come.
Amid the rush of business and the ex-
citement of politics rises the still small
voice that admonishes of the weightier
and eternal interests which surround our
lives. The dollar spent at this festival,
while it ministers to simple physical enjoy
ment as much as if spent elsewhere, plants
seeds of immortal fruit. Apart from all
creeds, the claims Of the children that the
Sabbath school work reaches, touch
powerfully every man who loves bis coun-
ry or seeks even its material prosperity.
The Sabbath school takes the neglected
child and saves him from growing UP
savage in the midst of civilization.
1t creates men and women whom other
wise would have been human tigers and
hyenas. Paris, bloody, blackened and
despoilid by her own savages, to-day, be-
log rent ard torn by the wild beasts in hui
man form she has nurtured, is terrible
warning to communities who neglect the
education Of the children. We cannot
overrate the value of Sabbath school.
agencies.
We earnestly urge every true friend of
education and morality to spend their
spare change at the festival, where good
things are dispensed by fair hands, and to
the approving smile of conscience, will be
added the more tangible approval of bright
eyes and happy faces.
