VIRGINIA..
The ynchburg Pres. Oh the stadi-

The IIrgillid,t thus alludes 20 a
distinguished element" in this city
our "great Egyptian"
| We are disposed to treat our guests
| the men who have hOnored our city so
| highly by making it the scene of trans
actions that are destined to be memo
rable in its future history-with distin-
guished consideration. We cannot
name all of the gentlemen now here
who are known to fame, and have
played n prominent part i'll the history
| of the last few years but, among the
many statesmen that have been devel-
Oped in these peculiar times, who have
been drawn hither by the impulses of
| a lofty patriotism, and are expected to
take prominent part in the proceed
lngs of the Convention which meets
to-day, We name the Hon. Lewis Lind
! say. We cannot say, for we do not
know where Mr.. Lindsay is quitting
up" and therefore have not had the
opportunity to 'interview" him; but
we know that gentleman of his sin
guar turn Of mind and independence,
who, when at home, can accommodate
himself to any circumstances, and be
perfectly at home in a ''cOal cellar" or
ing here, no matter where chance or
fate may fix his local habitation. Mr..
Lindsay represents the dignity and re-
spectability of large element in his
party, and is q gentleman of decided
influence. We do not know whether
he is for Hughes, Mcmahon, or Lewis
Lindsay for the first place ON the
ticket. If he should turn cut to be
Lindsay man, no one ought to blame
him, for his modesty and self-abnega-
ton have, thus far, kept him rather in
the background. The least that
should be done for Mr.. Lindsay would
be to give him the second place on the
ticket. But he is able to speak for
himself, and we hope that the Convel-
ton wAl hear from him to-day.
In another paragraph, the Virginian
says:
There never was such a wave of re-
pnblicanism in these parts as is sweep
ing over this City of Hills to-day. It
is true republicanism, and nothing else.
1t has often been said that " afellow
feeling makes us wOndrous kind, and
s. one touch of nature makes the whole
world kim" Now, it being the " ma
ture Of Republicans to "hanker az
ter" the flesh pots, even those of |
Egypt this " fellow feeling" brings
together the most opposite characters,
and that, without reference to race, |
color, OF previous condition of servi-
tude"
We shall see to-day, some of the
men who used to "chattelize human
lty," as our Northern brethren termed |
it, sitting by the side, and counting the
favor of the men they would once have |
walloped for daring to obtrude them
selves unbidden into such presence.
The old Virginia nabob, one of the
venerable F. F. V s, will hob-nob with
Sambo, and kindly inquire after the
mother of all the littIe Sambos What
a triumph for Africa What triumph
of true republicanism What blow
to caste as Charles Sumner kwould
say. Verify, "Mercy and truth are
met together; righteousness and peace
have kissed each other ~ All hail
the advent of this grand and glorious
day

What the shah saw at the Or, stall
Palace.

The scene during the greater part of
the time was mournfrllly cOmical.-
Tie glass roof could not prove itself
imp rvlOus to such a drenching rain,
and the brilliantly dressed thousands
sat III the great halls under umbrellas.
There was an immence display of flow
ers, and the Shah might have fancied
himself on visit to Saadis Rose Gar
den. Still with the pretty Princess of
Wales on his arm-the Princess who
charms him, and who now always
wears the ornaments he has
showered upon her-and attended by
Tom Hughes one of the chief trustees
of the Crystal Palace, the Shah is con-

A JUROR ExcUsED.-Recently juror
approached the Clerk OF the Supreme Judi

possible for him to serve.
"Why mott" inquired the clerk.
"Because I'm deaf" responded the jur-

The clerk had reason for incredulity,
and so informed the deaf man in whisper
that he would report his case 10 the judge.
Turning TO his honor, he said: "Mr. Bad
man of Manchester desires to be excused
"What are his reasons?" asked his hon
or, without raising his eyes from the paper
he was reading.
"He says he is deaf" replied the clerk.
"He is excused" said the judge quickly
"if he is deaf, we don't want him; if he il
liar, we don't want him."

A TRIBUTE TO THE NEGRO RACE.-Gen.
Henry c. Wayne, in recent speech
before the city council of Savannah, said:
"Ignorant and designing politicians have
proclaimed the negro as an idle, improvi-
dent and dissolute race; but submit to
the good sense of this chamber, made up
as it is of our first and best merchants,
whether or not four millions of people,
white or colored, who in six years have
laid up s20, 900 over and above their
wants, can be idle, improvident or disso-
lutte and if such people, who have shown
themselves TO be saving, are not deserving
of encouragement and instruction in the
Investments at home that will tend to the
benefit of the commonwealth, of which,
with ourselves, they are an essential ee-
ment, and from which they as well as we
are to derive our own living and well-be-
ing, and good footing for our posterity."

How TO CLEAN OLD AND MUsTY BAR
RELs.-At this season of the year ths farm
er and beef and pork packers are often
greatly troubled with musty, filthy smell
ing barrels, bottles, etc. How to cleanse
them for use is an important question,
which chemistry will answer satisfactorily.
Permanganate of potassa will entirely
destroy all fungoid growths and ferment-
ing matter, and render the barrel or bottle
perfectly sweet and clean.
A pint of the permanganate is sufficient
quantity for a cider or beer barrel. 1t must
be thoroughly rinsed so as to touch all parts
of the barrel. It's deodorising and disin-
footing qualities are wonderful, as 1t con-
tains five equivalents OF oxygen, and will
even deodorize carbolic acid and remove Its
pungent smell from the hands immediate

To Have APPLEs EVERY YEAR.-A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune tells
three ways of having apples every year.
/. Take scions from tree in 1878 and put
them into a good thrifty tree, and do the
same in 1874, and you will get fruit in al
ternate years. 2. Ifyou cut off the thrifty
trees the growth of 1873 in the last of June,
leaving three or four buds that would come
out in 1874, you would force out the next
years buds and gain one year. 8. If you
remove all the bios SONS on one half OF
your trees in the bearing year you will
have fruit on that half the odd year. These
things the correspondent has done success
fully. He has now in bearing the Victory
apple of the odd year produced in this way;
next year the scions of the last year will
bear in the regular year.

How IT IS DoNE.-The manner in which
autumn gives the gaudy tints to the foliage
is thus exhibited by science: The change
of color which takes place in Autumn foli-
age is due to the disappearance OF the cho-
lorophy (green coloring), rendering the re-
manning colors visible; most frequently
these are yellow. When the leaves turn
red it is indicative of diminished vitality,
and by stopping the growth of the plant,
the intensity of the red color is increased.
The gold and green tint may be considered
characteristic Of the complete vitality and
growth OF leaves, the red and yellow of low
vitality and change, and the brown is the
humus of death aud decomposition.

no proposals, nor did they state their favor

Tall, arching birches toward tho sky
Their ieafy branches rear on high;
They roof me DER with living green,
with riffs Of azure in between,
Where fieecy clouds in quiet lie.
Upon the mosses' velvet seat
pause to rest my weary feet,
And STOPPING downward to the rill,
My followed hands with water fil,
And quaff the liquid pure and sweet
Low bending o'er the sparkling sprirg,
hear the water-spirits sing;
Their merry games l see, perchance,
Or watch them in their fairy dance,
Unseen Of all their sportive ring.

Or pelt each other with the seeds;
Or launching In an acorn boat
Upon the mimic ocean float
And climb the rigging Of the reeds.

Its music almost makes me weep,
Recalling rs II does TO me
Full many pleasant memory,
That passing years had luled to sleep.
Poor, troubled singer, seek thy nest,
cannot aid thy lonely quest.
For thee and me, perhaps, is grief,
But lapsing years may bring relief,
And may be what We have is best.
Once more to aid my noon-tidc dream
Ipause boside.the murmuring stream,
Where ripping shadows interlace
Upon its bright and dimpled face,
And pebbles from the bottom gleam.
The water-sprites no longer play
On lily pads their quaint croquet,
For gazing down into the deep
find them lying there asleep,
With weeds tucked round each little fay.
But wakeful faces still I SEQ
Uptutned TO take peep at me,
Surprised to note so strange thing
Reflected in their quiet spring,
And wondering what the form can be.
Sleep, fays, in peace! do not fear
That will harm your streamlet dear:
