SOCIAL EQUALITY AT THE INAUGURAL-
Some of the; Northern journals are offended at
the social equality feature of the grand inau-
gural ball. One spectacle in particular, they
say, "called forth special indignation "per-
fectly white man sandwiched between two col
ored women" In view of the Presidents
Inauguration speech, which they have SO loudly
applauded and Loyalty approved, this mawkish-
ness of our Northern brethren seems both i'll
timed and absurd. The doctrine of civil.
rights, which Gen. Grant so earnestly urges
upon the country, amounts practically to moth
ing more nor less. than social equality. If the
coloted people are to be forced into Southern
hotels, theatres, churches and schools, we do
not see whythey shouldn't 60 to balls and lift
their heels with the upper crust Of Northern
society. Sauce, which is proclaimed good
thing for the goose, can't be objectionable when
applied to Che gander.

THE VIRGINIA SALT woRKs.-The origin
of the Southwestern Virginia Salt Works is
curious. The place was once vast swamp,
noisome, slimy and dangerous. Deer, hogs and
cattle would often be found dead there. Vapor
continually arose from the sodden ground. So
lonely was it that it got the reputation of being
haunted, and when VIM. Crabtree, hunter,
settled upon it and claimed it, he found no one
to dispute his right. From his heirs certain
William King, suspecting its value as salt
field from various indications, bought it for a
rife and pony. He opened it and cleared it,
and dug MS wells. 1t was profitable business,
and rapidly increased. During the war these
works were the principal dependence of the
Confederacy for salt. Often thousand wagons
waited at one time to load They conveyed the
salt for hundreds of miles into the interior.
After several attempts the Federal troops de-
molished the works, but never held them for
any length of time. The company now have
six furnaces, and can make two thousand four
hundred bushels of salt a day. ,..,... ,.., =.

gcrtiscr tells the following auecdote of the late
war si.-a...s,4.,.
During Longstreet's campaign in Tennessee,
while portion of his army was under q fear
fnl FIRE of shells from the enemy, at Campbell's
Station, private soldier, within few feet Of
the Colonel of his regiment, had both his legs
torn of. The regiment was not fighting, bat
waiting orders. The wounded man wes lifted
8 couple of yards in the rear to die. Another
private now marched down the line under a
hail of missiles, and said to the commanding
officer, "Colonei, may have q few moments Of
prayer with that dying man ?' The Colonel
said, care you clergyman 2" The private
answered, 'si am" 'T6en," said the Colonel,
"do as you DESIRE" And the man of God
knelt and prayed with and for the dying man
five or ten minutes, without moving or swaying
his body, seemingly totally unconscious of a
storm of shot and shell, which, the Colonel
tells us, he never saw surpassed in fury. In q
few days the praying private was announced in
field orders as Chaplain of the regiment
promoted for gallantry and piety on the field"
The regiment was the Hampton Legion. The
Colonel was Gary. The private soldier was the
Rev. w. M. Thomas, now pastor of the Metho-
dist Churches of our circuit.

without single acquaintance in the great will
derness Of houses. To-day his name is known
wherever humanity breathes. 1t is spoken in

the use of books; the student must learn by
commerce with mankind to reduce his specula-

highly of himself az to think he can receive
but little light from books, nor SO meanly as to
believe he can discover nothing but what is to
be learned from them.
