The LATE DOCTOR STRIBLING.-The
press contains notices of the late Dr.. F.
T.. Stribling, of Staunton. He was a
member of the first Board of Visitors Of
the Deaf, Dumb Il Blind Institution, and
was also at one time a member of the
Board OF Trustees of the Richmond Medi-
Cal College. The Richmond Enquirer
says:
The death of this noble. useful gentle
man, which was announced i'll our columns
on yesterday, deserves more than a passing
notice. DR.. Stribling was one of those
fortunate few who, by native ability, COM
bined with patient devotion in the depart
ment he selected for their exercise, arose
to the very loftiest height of usefulness
and distinction. And though his life was
filled with most delicate responsibilities.
the history Of every day which made up
his career WAS u history of labor and of
love. No man in any field OF usefulness
has won higher distinction than this la
mented Christian gentleman. whose death
is not only mournel by his fellow citizens
of his loved and native Commonwealth,
but throughout the limits of the land

we append the clrcumStantial detail of his
life and services taken from a paper of his
native city.

A VIRGINIA PREACHER AT ROUND
LAKE.-A letter from the Great National
Methodist Camp-meeting at Round Lake
says of Rev. DR.. Leroy M. Lee, of Rich
mond, who visited there:
DR.. Lee said he was entirely unprepared
to speak. He went all through the war,
and he thought now that all the cannon
ought to be spiked. He related an anec-
dote of negro who was sent out to blast
a rock. He made several attempts, all of
which proved failures, and, on his master
inquiring the reason, asked for more pow
der. Finally when success appeared to be
impossible with the powder used, he said
he guessed the powder had been used be-
fore. Mr.. Lee hoped if there was any
powder left over from the old war that it
was powder which had been used before
He came to the Conference with hesitation.
Fears ago he came North into the confer
ences as a spy. He came again now, but
not in the same spirit. He did not expect
to hear good emotion of religion, but he
had been taken ill., Dr. Lee gave some
interesting "reminiscences of the Lee fam-
ly and homestead. He had been at Round
Lake. He was now for fraternity; the
fight was all out of him. He said, in con-
clusion, that when he got to his home in
the South he should remember Round
Lake and Sea Cliff, and he hoped those
who heard him would think of one who
had fought them with a pen but had for
gotten it.

political revolution going on in this coun-
Try has turned Legislatures topsy -turvy
and is etfecting changes quite as 1emarka-

the Governors Of the thirty-seven States
of the Union. In 1870, only four years
ago, there were but SIC Democratic Gov
errors in office, viz: Haight, of California :;
Salisbury, of Delaware; Stevenson, OF
Kentucky; Bowie, of Maryland; Ran
dolph, of New Jersey and Hoffman, Of
New York. Those were the days when it
was sneeringly said that the Democratic
party was ''dead." To-day there are seq
e1ateen Democratic Governors, not counting
Booth, of California, and Baxter, Of Ar
kansas, who MAY be classed among the OPP
ponents of the regular Republican organi-
zation. The Democratic officials are In
gersoll, of Connecticut; Ponder, of Della

Indiana; Leslie, of Kentucky Groome,
of Maryland; Woodson, of Missouri !;
Bradley, of Nevada; Weston, of New
