INGENIOUS RAsCALITY. = Briefly Hill. a
small village on the outskirts of the Black
Country CLondon) has just been the scene of
robbery which for its impudence and ingenu-
ity would do credit to the most accomplish he'd
of Whifechapel thieves. A lad entered the
shop of provision dealer in the place, and pur-
chased a penny roll. Having done so, he be-
sought the shopkeeper (who was alone in the
premisesl to stuff it down for him behind his
''smOck," alleging that be wanted to hide it
from his mate, who was lettering outside. and
who would be sure to take it from him if he
saw 1t II his possession. The complaisant
tradesman did as requested. with reiterated and
urgent requests FROM the led to stuff it down as
far as he could that it might not be seen. -
While the roll was being stowed away in this
anomalous hiding place the purchaser managed
to steal the tTadesman watch. A minute Or

another lad and said, DE you know what that
chap has iuat done? He's prieged you watch. -

When it is considered yghat tremendous is
sues are iayolved IN the present canvass. there
can scarcely be any necessity for an apology to
cur readers that our editorial space is taken up
with political articles,
But little over five weeks remain, 10 which TO
prepare for the great trial of strength at the
ballot box. upon the results of which the veal
or woe OF Virginia depends. Our enemy is &C
tive and INSCRIPTIONS the very desperateness
of his cause gives life and vigor to his efforts.
We have to contend not alone with the Radical
party of Virginia this We could easily over
come-but the whole power OF the national or
ganization Of that party is enlisted against US,
and to this is supcradded the aid of the Admin
istration at Washington, with its array of Off
Gals and official patronage. In view of these
things, It would be madness to underrate our
enemy. The work to be performed rests main
ly with the people. Our speakers and the press
of the State are hard at work, dealing vigorous
blows, and everywhere the people are being
aroused. Oar candidates are receiving ovations
wherever they go, and all looks bright and en-
couraging. But much remains to be done to
place success beyond a peradventure. What is
most needed now is individual effort. Every
man has his influence, none are without some,
and this must be put forth. The vote of eve
~ true Virgioian must be polled for Kemper,
WltASIs anu Ddhlei, anu 10 secure Chis, every
man must see not only that his own vote is cast
but that his neighbor does likewise Don't de-
lay to talk to your neighbor about the tremep-
deus importance of bis vote, until election day !;
begin now to see that he is alive TO the necessi-
ty OF voting. Get him to attend public speak
ing, that lis enthusiasm may be as great as
yours. Get the ladies' to work, their influence
is potential, and every one If them will work
because their sympathies are with cur cause
and candidates. Don't depend upon others to
do these things, for it is as much the business
of one man as another. Virginia expects ev-
cry man to do bis du,y." You are Virgin
ian, and the performance ofyour duty is requir-
ed at your bands, If every man shall do his
whole duty. Radicaism will be routed end de-
stroyed in November and our ticket elected by
thirty thousand majority To work, then. Con-
