Brave Words, BraveIy spoken.

: We are gratihed at the tone of the Virginia
press, aud as specimen we quote from the
Lynchburg RiPn6iIcGn the following noble senti-
ments
The white men of Virginia, says our eotempo-
rary, have 1t in their power to rOll up % 900 ma
jority, aud they will do it, provided an able,
honest, unexceptIonabe candidate-free from the
suspicion of ring inHuence-is nominated. Such
a candidate can be found, and such candidate
tho people will demand. The fight is to be a
square one against Radical;sm, whether the enemy
comes with manly slogan and its banners hoat-
ing boldly, or IN the crouching, unfair and false
form of "independent" There can be no neutrals oil
independents in this fight. And in this encounter
we must strike for 25,OO5 white majority.
These words are as apples Of gold set in PIC
tures of silver, aud ina their ready echo IN the
hearts Of tho Virginia people We arc called
"vaIn" by our enemies; but, II We are, have VT
not a right to be This question was once asked
by John Goode, and answered in a noble burst o.
elOquence which still burns in memory; but
as he said, Virginians are not vain, they are
proud race, and too proud, we know TO submit t;
the cruel domination of alien enemies and iifteentl
amendments. Norfolk HlrgiHtan.

A Trey wOmSn,s Adventure.

Some wicked Troy boys took up trap-door in
the vestibule Of the Unitarian church, covered the
trap over with the Mating, and spent . pleasant
afternoon in seeing their uninitiated Playmates
precipitatsd into the Easements. The wife Of
distinguished citizen went In to drive them of

through, but hung suspended, caught by her gar

WerO shocked, her feelings hurt, her clothes torn,
but she could yell, and yell sho did. The ungAl.
liant boys incOntiRsntly cleared out, but her
shrisks brought men, plenty OF them, among
whom was the distinguished citizen, and she was
successfully extrieated. She will not assume the
functions Of the police aud truant oificen again

all but the legal conseq quences Of the offense he
may be charged with. We believe it is in Milton
that the climax of safety is found in Senate:

But there ought, at least to be one safer place,
and that is q cell. Yet, our criminal calender
shows that the man who is arrested in Philadel-

not safe from irregular violence
As in the case of the unfortunate Mr. Twesdls,
he may be murdered by this Sergeant Of Police.
AS in the later case of the poor old man, John
Cruikshank, he may have his throat cut by some
companion IN his cell, furious with drink or the
mania that follows it. This is matter in which
every citizen should take interest and not dis
miss it as peril only to the vicious and degraded

A wild Huntross.

The Wheeling ReglsteY. Of the 20th inst tells the
following story of the authority Of Julia Messen-
ger OF Windridge, Green county, Ia, for whose
veTacity it vouches
A man living near windridge, Geeen county.
Pa, had born to him five children. four girls and
one boy. His name is Daniel Lewis. When quite
young the boy and second daughter, named LucIn-
da Lewis, developed quite q fOndnes5 for hunting
and were cut nearly all the time, roaming the
woods IN search OF game. They seemed to delight
nothing so much as IN the fall life of a hunter,
and would 60 from home for weeks at a time. Al
tar four or tive years the boy quit it, and entered
on the more industrious pursuits Of life, but the
gITl continued IN the chase. Drawing herself more
and more from human intercourse and restraint, she
has become wild woman, fleeing from the ap-
proach of her kind with the speed Of . deer.
During the early years of her solitary life she
used to approach her fathers house and entce the
dogs to follow her, learning almost any breed to
become good hunters. In the hope of bringing
her back to her hons and to civilization, her BROTH
er followed her and shot the dog she had taken
| away, using every inducement to get her to 60
back with him. But all in vain.
For eighteen years, since she was twelve yearS
of age she has lived this wild life, sleeping in the
centre Of straw stacks during the night and hiding

CHAPPED HANDS.

In healthy condition the skin is kept
supple by an oily secretion, which answers
the same purpose as oiling leather Dur
ing warm weather this secretion, in com
mon with all the other secretions of the
skin, is more abundant thanh cold. When
it is insufficient the skin becomes dry and
harsh and on those parts of the body
where the skin is thick and subject to
motion as on the hands, it readily cracks
or assures. The amount of this secretion
is so much reduced in cold weather that
the frequent washing of the hands with
soap causes them to chap readily, and this
the more certainly if the soap is not wash
ed off The alkali in soap is usually in ex-
cess, and this combines with the oily Sc
cretion, aud so deprives the skin of its nat
ural lubricator To prevent the hands
from chapping, then, be careful to wash
all soap from them thoroughly in clean
water This will ordinarily suffice; but, if
not, it will be necessary to make good the
removed oil by using KENNEDY S SALT
