A Dead Town.

On the south side of the noble and pictures
que Rappahanock, about thirty miles below
the historic town of Fredericksburg, immedi-
ately opposite the time -honored village of Port
Royal, is little town known as Port Conway.
There is nothing in the appearance of the place
itself to attract the observance of the traveller;
yet if its history were generally known, so full
is it of historic interest to the people of this
State that its visitors would no doubt be num-
bered by hundreds. In the Colonial days of
this once prosperous Old Commonwealth Port
Conway was town of no little Importance;
and, although never densely populated nor
covering large area of country, its Importance
as an importing and exporting mart abroad
In later years its history is made of greater
interest to US by reason of its being the birth
place of that illustrious statesman, James
Madison. The town was founded by Catlett
Conway, the maternal grandfather of Mr.. Mad
ison, after whom it was named. None of the
old citizens are now living, and but few houses
are standing. The house in which the great
statesman was born has long since crumbled
into dust, and the ground on which it stood
is now used by its owner a clover field

The Women Of China.

The women of China occupy a low
er scale in the estimation of their
countrymen than those of other ma
tions- 4 broad face, diminutive waist,
pale features, and feet small to detorm-
ity, constitute female beauty in the
eyes of Chinese. To ensure this
last, their feet are confined in tender
age in shoes calculated to stop their
growth, so that the feet of some ladies
only measu re three inches from toe to
heel. Fem ales are universally objects
of traffic. Marriages depend entirely
upon the will Of the parents, who sell
their daughter at from 5000 to 5000
dollars a piece, according to the beau
ty or the rank of the female. Early
marriages are universal; no man who
can afford the expenses of the ceremo-
ny deferring it after the age oftwenty
and parents get rid of their daug ghters
as soon as they can; even at the early
age of fourteen.

w. H. H. Dunn, the persistent IL
quor seller of Hillsboro, is making a
great effort to secure the nomination
as a candidate for Congress. He, as
we learn, claims to have, the promise
of the support of the whiskey inter
ests of the district, and is making that
the test question to decide his claims
for nomination for Congress.
1t remains to be seen whether the
Democratic party, in its choice for
candidates, will ignore all other prin-
ciples and allow the whisky element of
the district to step in and override
the better sentiment of the Democrat
ic party, merely to crafty an unwor-
thy ambition. We cannot believe that
the people of that district will allow
Mr.. Dunn to ride into Congress upon
his unwisely chosen whisky hobby
Better conncils will certainly prevail ;
they have better material over there
out of which to make q member o1
Congress. Why lay aside Hon. L. T
Neal? He is worthy member of his
party and has made a good Congress
man.

The struggle of the Monarchial faction

An Incident of the Southern Memorial
Days

Major Thomas G. Jones delivered the ad-
dress upon the occasion of the decoration of
the graves of the confederate dead in Mont
gomery, Ala, the other day, and in the course
of it aid:
''And while we ponder thus the mind car
ries US northward, where the tombs-not of
our dead-are whittier than the sands of the sea ,
and more numerous than the stars in the heav-
ems. In them lie men of the same race as our
eelVes--who spoke the same language and
worshiped the same God. Fond mothers sent
them to battle, and tender tears and agonizing
prayers watching their pathway. They fol-
lowed flag that was as dear to them as was to
us the 'Star-crossed banner that has long
since taken its flight to greet the warrer soul;
and he that worthily speaks for the dead or
| living must say that no feeling of hate to the
northern dead, or those who mourn them, per-
vades this memorial day! One touch of pity
makes the whole world kin. From scenes like
this. where the warning sections mourn their
dead, let the statesman draw inspiration 10

Ohio Valley EDITORIAL Re-UniOn.

Ohio Valley Editorial Re-Union.
The reunion of the editors O. the
Ohio Valley at Chillicothe, on Mon
day and Tuesday of last week, was a
very pleasant affair. The citizens of
Chillicothe, whose hospitality has long
since become proverbIal, spared no
pains nor expense to make their edito-
rial guest comfortable and happy ana
in this effort they were never more
successful in any of their numerous
kind efforts to please.
In another place we have published
\ portion of the proceedings of the
occasion, and regret that our space
will not admit of our publishing the
several speeches made at the various
points of entertainment At Delano's
Stock farm, at the Banquet, at Masonic
Hall, at Governor Aliens and at Gov.
Worthington's the entertainment was
first-class the kind entertainment at
each of these places will never be for
gotten by the members of the press
who partook Of their hospitalities.
Mr.. DelanO's reputation as breeder
of fine blooded horses is we'll known,
both in this country and in Europe.
He is not only an adept in the stock
line, but he and his excellent lady
IyD0vw hon, r. on4o,toir kLo;, c-,,os&o -,
superb style. At the Banquet, in Ma
sonic Hall, on Thursday, everything
that the heart and taste could desire
was spread out upon the ample tables
in beautiful and luxuriant profusion.
At Governor Aliens palatial home,
we were kindly met by DR.. Scott and
the Governor and the Governors ac-
complished daughter, Mrs. DR.. Scott.
The Governor was in fine humoI
and seemed to be happy to meet the
guests whom he had invited to his hap
py home. Everything was in superb
order, and the tables fairly groaned
under the weight of the good things
spread out upon them. No one seem
ed to enjoy the meeting more than the
Governor.
Our next visit was to the ancient
home of Governor WOrthington, now
owned and occupied by his son, Gen
James Il. Worthington. Here the
press were greeted and welcomed by
the General and his intelligent lady ir
the most hOspitable manner. The gen
er al has a great many ancient relics O
/ crest about his premises. He la:
trgreat pains in cultivating all the
Cfruits and flowers that can be pro
Gu red in this latitude. After luxuriat
ing on the rare delicacies of the boun
tiful tables of this hospital old man
sion and enjoying the very intellectual
social treat by the General and his
lady, the editorial visitors took seats
in the carriages provided for them by
the members of the Chillicothe press
and after few minutes pleasant drive
found themselves again in the ancien
Metropolis.
We cannot close this brief motto,
without expressing our warmest thanks
to our brethren of the Chillicothe
press, for the kindly and gentlemanly
treatment extended to the visiting
members of the press by their breth
rem of the Chillicothe Editorial broth

MANY preacher does not know
to this day that speaking to children
and teaching them in Sundayschool
has been the making of him. Without
it he would have been dry and dull.
And as good books for children are
delightful to grown people, so the con-
cret, pictorial, and direct style of
speaking which is indispensable in ad-
dressing children is most helpful and
needful thing in preaching to adults.
If it were possible, and if it were not
for one thing, we should like to see
all the preachers who think they can
not talk to children apprehended and
compelled to learn. The onesthing is
pity for the poor children while some
of them were learning.

- The Grangers of Indiana held a
State Convention at indianapolis, last
week, laid a platform and nominated
candidates for State officers. AS all
political parties do, they resolved in
favor of choosing none but honest,
competent, faithful men for office and
for fear they may be tempted to be-
come dishonest while in office, they
resolved in favor of the one term prin-
cipIe for all offices.
They are unfriendly to banks Of all
kinds; do not care anything about
specie payment, but are in favor OF
Withdrawing all bank issues and in IA
vor of liberal issues of greenback cur
rency, and Of making these issues 6
legal tender for all debts. Like al
other parties, they demand retrench
ment in all of our public expenditures
Low taxes and low salaries. They al
go demand change In their Crane
Jury system, that their jurisdiction ex
tend to felonies only. In their con
cluding Resolution they say "that M
party is worthy of our confidence whC
denies the right of the people to re
strict the business of the liquor traffic.
With some of the gentlemen nomi
mated, we have had formal acquaint
ance for many years, and believe ther
to be worthy of the positions 70
which they have been chosen candi
dates. Their platform, with perhaps
few impracticabilities, is very goo
one.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, June 11-The police ar
rested a soldier last evening from Camp Doug
lass for disorderly conduct. This morning
Gen. Morrow demanded the surrender of the
soldier to be tried by the Military authorities.
The surrender was refused, and Gen. Morrow
ordered Capt. Gordon with a detachment of
cavalry to the city with orders to ask for the
surrender of the soldier, and in case of refusal
to release him by force. The surrender was
refused, and the Captain proceeded to break
open the jail, and released the man who is now
in confinement at the military post. Gen.
Morrow some time since presented the subject
of arrest by the civil authorities of soldiers to
the War Department, claiming that under the
articles of war soldiers are to be tried by the
military, and not by the civil authorities
| of this view, and the Secretary of War directed
| Gen. Morrow to act accordingly. No resist
ance was made by the city authorities.
1t is claimed that both citizen and soldier
intoxicated at the time, and the arrest was
made by private citizen.
