DSTOWN JEFFERSON COUNTY VIRGINIA. SATURDAY, JULY g. 1871

USED TO THE THING.-fn order TO
fully appreciate the following you ought
10 know our Trial Justice He is a
youngish man; pattern of propriety;
very precise and ornate; of remarkably
good presence; and he not only has a
pretty good opinion Of himself, but he
has also most exalted opinion of the
judicial office he has been called to ill.
No Lord Chief Justice upon the Kings
Bench ever felt more weight of dignity
under the ermine than does our Justice
Beverly.
Not long since ragged, friend-for-
saken fellow named Mudkins, was
brought before Bowerby, charged with
having stolen pair of boots. The
constable who had arrested him had
caught him in the very act, so that the
fact of the stealing was Undeniable
The case was clear, and the rogue ad-
mitted the gentle imputation; but he
plead the extreme necessity of the case.
His shoes were completely worn out,
and he had no money with which to
buy others; nor had he friend to help
him: nor had he been able 70 gain the
needed apparel by begging.
Il had to do it, your honor, or go
barefoot" he said, with earnest simple
ity- ;.
"And why not 90 barefoot = replied
the Justice, with dignity and yet with
touch of asperity "The weather is
growing warmer, and the condition
could not be a very great hardship:
Do You realize the turpitude-thc moral
enormty-of the offence Did you
stop to reflect upon the nature Of the
crime, and its inevitable consequences
Why" continued the Judge, with a
towering touch of moral grandeur,
'rather than descend to stealing would
90 barefoot all my life! !"
Every likely" retorted the culprit,
with smiling shrug, and with cool
ness that was far removed from impu-
dence-'It all depends upon the way
you've been brought up. Ihars airays
been used to nearing shoes =
The audible smile that pervaded the
court room was not required to convince
Justice Bowerby that his great moral
effort had fallen flat and proftless.

4 TOUCHING RoMANcE.-Tbere IS
touching romance in connection with
Ellsworths death, which became public
for the first time on the day of the ded-
ication of his monument. This beautI-
ful little incident illustrates woman de-
votion. When Ellsworth died he was
afiancei TO a beautiful young lady, and
she vowed ever afterward TO lead life
of celibacy. Years passed over her
Young head, and she has not been mer-
cifully called 10 rejoin that self whom
she loved better than life, without whom
lite is death. ;,
One who knew her attended the ded-
,cation of the monument, and inquired
first and eagerly for the beautiful bride
of Ellsyorth's lowering spirit She was
not there. Surely she must be dead ;
nothing else could keep her from such
a tribnte to her spiriLloye. He ascer-
tanned that it was not death that detain-
ed her. 1t was not convenient for her
to leave Der husband and children;
She had weakened on her VOW several
wears since. Oh, woman in our hours
of ease how you stick but after we are
planted how you don't stick

FATAL HIPpoDRoME-Mrs. Charles
Davis, one of the lady riders in the
races at Barnum's Hippodrome, New
York, who was injured in the hurdle
race on Friday night, died on Monday.
On the night of the accident she was
riding at full speed, and her horse,
"Spot" an English thoroughbred
gathered himself too quickly to leap
one of the hurdles, and striking it with
his forefeet turned complete somer-
sault. His rider came in contact with
the hurdle and fractured her collar-bone
also sustaining internal injuries of a Sc
rious nature. She had been suffering
previously from weakness Of the lungs,
and the shock occasioned by the acci-
dent produced constant and violent
hemorrhagcs, which caused her death.
The death of Mrs. Davis makes the
fourth fatal accident at the Hippodrome
during the past month, not to speak OF
the broken bones and broken heads OF
other performers. Upwards of twenty
years ago Francori's Paris Hippodrome
exhibited in New York with career
something akin to that OF Barnnm $,
until the authorities iDterposed to mod
ify the character of the performances,
SURE CURE FOR HYpRoPHoBIA.-Hy-
drophobia can be preuented, and l will
give you what is known to be an intalll-
Die remedy, if properly administered, for
man or beast a dose for horse or COW
should be about four times as great as
for person. 1t is not too late to give
the medicine any time before the spasms
come on. The first dose for aperson is
LIP OF. of elecampane root, bruised,
put in pint of new milk, reduced to
one half by boiling, then taken all at one
dose in the morning, fasting until after
noon, or at least a very light diet after
several hours have elapsed. The sec
ond dose the same as the first, except
take or. of the root third dose same
as the last, to be taken every other day:
Three doses are all that is neededi and
there need be no fear.
This / knoW from my opn expert
ence, and / know of number Of other
cases where it has been entirely success
full. This isno guess-work- These per
Sons that | allude to were bitten by
their own rabid dogs, that had been bit

to see if they would go mad they did
90 mad, aud did bite the persons. This
remedy has been used in and about
Philadelphia for forty years or longer,
with great success, and is known as the
Goodman remedy. / am acquainted
with physician who told me that he
knows of It's use for more than thirty
years, but never knew a case that failed
where it was properly administered
Among other cases he mentioned, was
one where number of cows had been
bitten by mad dog ; to half the num-
Der they administered this remedy, to
the other hlaf, not, the latter all died
with hydrophobia, while those that TOOK
the elecampane and milk showed no
signs of the disease.

The Economics of the Temperance
Cause.

A German paper of Cincinnati
states that during the past six weeks
the sales of liquors in that city, both
wholesale and retail, had averaged
between S4O0, 900 and $685. 600 less
per week than formerly.
The above statement opens up an
interesting phase of the Temperance
excitement now passing over the
country. The difference in the
amount ofsaleso of liquors insix weeks,
if the statement is true, would be
between TWO AND THREE MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS. This is an enormous
amount, and we cannot help thinking
it must be exaggerated, but suppose it
Is half true, and a difference Of one
million two hundred thousand dol
lars exists, it Is that much money di
verted from the purchase, of what,
TO say the least is luxury, TO some
other purpose. We can understand
the extent Of this sum better, by
giving its equivalent in some of the
staple articles of food, than by the
mere figures; say flour is worth eight
dollars per barrel the amount would
represent one hundred and fifty thou

REASONS WHY
THE REMINGTON FAMILY SEW
ING MACHINES ARE SUPERB
OR TO ALL OTHERS:

Oh ~ u Ill ~ - A~ANrs
1st-Their SIMPLICITY.-The use OF
them is very easily acquired, and any
girl of ordinary intelligence is capa-
bic of keeping them in order.
2nd-l he CONSTRUCTION Of the M'-
chine is such that it may be run at Il
higher rate Of speed than any Shut
tie Machine now in the market. In
factories, where the speed has been
registered, over 900 stitches per min
ute have been attained with case.
3d-Their DURABILITY.-Being 50
strong in all their parts, and fitted
with great mechanical nicetv, and be-
ing free from the harsh, jarring move
ments, and friction, 80 common in in
ferior machines, they will wear long
time wlthour repair OF any KIND.
4th.-Tbeir ADAPTABILITY-By a
simple change of the needle and
thread, they will sew the finest CAM
brio or the heaviest leather. All the
various kinds Of boots and shoes,
buck-skin sewing, clothing, caps
stays, shirts, mantles and dress ma
king can be done with equal facility,
5th.-The SHUTTLE-Being large, it
will carry great quantity of thread
thus saving, in great measure, the
trouble of filling the bobbins.
6th.-The means Of getting at the requir-
ed TENSION on the Threads is so
simple and complete, that an even
bsck-stich on BoTH SIDES Of the mate
rial (which will not rip or ravel) can
be readily obtained.
7th.-They will SOW with equal facility
Silk, Twist, Linen Thread and COM
mon Spool Cotton.
Sth.-They have no rotary cams, cog
wheels or lever arms to make noise,
run hard or to get out OF order.
