DEATH or AN ACTRESS WHO WAS Born IN
LEESEuRG.-T ST. Louis papers announce
the death in that city, on the I'd Of June, Of
Miss Leo Hudson, the equestrian actress,
whose trained horse Black Bess recently fell
with her while playing Mazcppa, injuring it
self so badly that it had to be killed. 1t seems
that at the time of this accident, May 10th,
Miss Hudson was more seriously injured than
she permitted herself to believe. She was
playing at Wakcfcld's Grand Opera House,
St. Louis, and with her horse tumbed from
the lofty framework Of a miniature mountain
to the stage. She appeared the next evening,
however, amidst great applause, but subse
qnently her sufferings were intense, inflammation
of the bowels set In, and she died as stated.
The death of her beautiful mare, which she
purchased in Baltimore about five years ago,
and for which she protested a strong attach
mcnt seemed to weigh heavily on her spirits.
Miss Hudson was born in lecsburg Va, on
the 22d of March, 1913, and was therefore
thirty years of age Her real name was Julia
V. Hodgson. Her professional career began
when she was only twelve years of age, in the
city of Washington, where she appeared as a
vocalist; and her chief professional reputation
has been founded upon the performance Of
Mazcppa. She was twice married, and was
wcl-known in Baltimore, where she owns a
house. She died intestatc, and her remains
were to be brought to Baltimore for intcrmcnt
A few years ago Miss Laura V. Hodgsou
was party to a suit in the Circuit Court of
Loudoun, involving the heirship to some real
estate in this county, which at the time created
considerable interest. The suit was decided in
her tavor.-Loudom Mirror

Lawyers I'm The Lesislature.

Of all things in the world to be de-
precated, in connection with elections
to the Legislature, there is nothing
more so than popular prejudice against
men for their religious views or the bus
ness callings they pursue. Whether
the man be a lawyer, a mechanic, a
merchant or a farmer, or neither, ihe
is fit for the Legislature, let the people
send him.
There is in some localities,we believe,
q prejudice on the part of some people
against lawyers as legislators, because
they are lawyers. This is wrong, very
wrong. Those who entertain this pref.
udice do injustice to themselves, to their
fellow citizens and to their State. The
peoples interests are the lawyers inter-
eats. They are all in the same boat all
in the same cause, all looking to the
public welfare. There are as many
sensible men, perhaps, among the
m echanics and merchants and farm.
era as among the lawyers; and it would
be as reasonable to object to any one as
to any other on account of the business
he follows. Let no man be selected as
a candidate because he is lawyer, be-
cause he is mechanic, or because he is
anything else, except suitable person
for a seat in the General Assembly.
And let no man be rejected for that
reason.
1t makes no difference what q mans
business is, il his views are the views OF
the people, and be is qualified and
trusty, and all right on Conservatism,
let Conservatives give no consideration
to his calling. 1t matters not whether
he is lawyer or not lawyer, a me-
chanic or not mechanic, farmer or
not farmer, a merchant or not mer.
chant. When he comes TO the Legis-
lature he will be the representative OF
his people.-Rickmond Examiner.

The Removal OF Judge DurelI.

The New Orleans Heralds Washing
ton correspondent writes, under date OF
the 18th lust, of an interview with the
President as follows:
A committee OF southern gentlemen
waited upon President Grant and urged,
not only for the sake of the south, but
for the perpetuation Of the good name Of
the Republican party, the removal Of
Judge Durell. The President replied
that as he (DurelD wa appointed for
life, or during good behavior, the only
power to touch him was Congress, which
might impeach. =,
The committee made many and
strong arguments, but they all seemed
10 fall upon the Presidents ear without
effect, untila tabulated statement, pre-
pared by a certain Csrondelet street
statisticisn showed the enormous sums
Of money and property which Durell has
put into Norton's hands as assignee in
bankruptcy. amounting to over four
million dollars, which they allege Is
still unaccounted for.
The President was utterly dumb
founded, and finally broke the long
silence ensuing, by suddenly exclaiming:
Gentlemen, if your statement is true,
and as you say all this property under
execution or final process in the United
States Marshal's hands, and in the
hands OF all the sberiffs 10 the State OF
Louisiana, has been illegally taken
therefrom and placed in the hands of
Norton, why is it that Mr.. Packard has
never made complaint against Durelrs
assignee, Tor by your own showing
Marshal Packard must have lost by the
arrangement many thousand dollars Of
legal fees?'
Much argument followed; l cannot
give it all, but the President seemed 10
think that if Marshal Packard had
been so terribly wronged he would GER
tainly complained aud, moved to
right it. The committee assured the
President that they could obtain Mar
shall Packard's verification OF every
statement that they had made, and the
President gave them his word that If
they obtained Marshal Packsrds en-
dorsement that be would recommend
Congress, as soon "a it assembled, to
impeach DARRELL What will Packard
do? Nous vsrrons. More anon.

Decoration Day.

Washington Cor. Pittsburgh Chronicle.
Decoration Day, like election time, is
a day to be remembered by the govern
ment people at the Capital. 1t costs
money for the annual tribute to the
memory Of the dead soldiers, and the
department employees are the ones to
urnish It. Decoration Day Is quite an
expensive occasion in Washington; not
that the flowers cost so much, for they
are generally contributed. but because
the preparations are costly. Three
thousand dollars would buy great
quantity OF flowers, and pay for having
them carefully strewn, but the money
goes for transportation and carriages,
and lunches and etceteras. and what
with the speeches and preparations, it
seems to q plain, Flooding understand.
ing, as though the living were more
honored than the dead. If the Grand
Army would inaugurate a plan for hav-
ing the flowers furnished without cost,
and strewn without cost, and the hand
some sum that is collected annually di-
vided among the suffering surviving
widows and children of the dead SOL
diers, what mountains OF misery it
would lift from heavy hearts. But that
would be vast deal too practical and
would never do at all.
There is a great deal Of sentimental.
ity in this happy land OF ours, and some
of it is carried on at the sacrifice OF the
temporal aud eternal welfare Of the
widows and orphans Of the men who
gave their lives to save it.
