ALEXANDRIA,.
Especial Correspondence Richmond L qu'rer

ISpecial Correspondence Richmond E quirer.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June l5s-Seveu miles
below Washington, and oluety-tWo miles from
Chesapeake bay, GU the Potomac, is situated
the city of Alexandria. one of the earlier settle
weots of the colony of Virginia, and town
hat once riyaled Baltimore aud bid fair to
compete with Philadelphia for the trade OF the
new American nation. An old. fashioned CRY
maklng as little noise in the world and seem-
;nsly as quiet as the placid aud beautiful river
that flows by it on to the sea. The city, by
neopIa whose ignorance should make them
icep silence. is styled ''6uished town. But
10 one who knows the history of the place, and
the real work accomplished heIYs, such talk Is
absurd.
The causes which directed trade in another
channel from this quarter Of Virginia are mum
erous, and not lack of energy or enterprise,
as some people would have It, First, during
the revolution the shipping of the town was
destroyed by the British. and again the SAME
calamity befell the city in 1872. Now, when
il is remembered that the shipping OF the town
was s chief wealth, and in this exceeded Bal
timorc the character of two such disasters can
be compre hcnded. Following on this the town
and county (cut off from Fairfax we're coded
TO the Federal Government, and tor forty
wears Alexandria, like Washington and George
town, stood still while the cities Of the neig :
boring States we're rapidly growing, both IN
population and wealth.
In 1916 Alexandria Was retroceded to Plr.
rina by Congress- As d consequence 10 the
next decade The town gained ~ per cent 10
populatio railroad and canal communications
were made with the interior. Fine ships were
owned here, and it was no uncommon sight to
see the flags of six or eight different nations
flying at our wharves at one tipe. Thrift and
prosperity seemed to visit the town; various
manufacturing interests were started and being
worked successfully when the war came on and
put stop to all this -Four years of war, with all
our young men 10 the l7th and other regl-
meuts with general depreciation Of pros
pcry and entire closing up of bus ness, except
among those who took the oath or came from
the North with a martial law and reign OF
terror under Wells and his associate mill
tary despots, the town languished, and when
the end came there was but little OF the
old life or wealth left. Our young meo re-
turued with lost limb or broken down
conSti,ution our old men came back to
dud their houses occupied by squatters,
and without meaDs, without outside aid
our eitizeps, both young and old, had to
begin life anew, with what energy, determl-
nation and skill, let the growth of the town,
the Increase Of population and wealth, all an
swer and bid the Ignorant OF vicious slanderers
hold their peace.

woman, whose medical skill and prompt atteu
dance wherever needed at the bed side of a

ninety ninth year, was never sick day 10 her

was never visited by a hhysician and never
swallowed dose of medicine.
Her eyes are growing dim, her scanty locks
are white as the driven snow, but her trust in
Providence is as strong aud her merry laugh
as jnyous as they we're seventy years ago. She
has attended not less than one hundred death
bed scenes, and has always been recognized by
the afflicted as an angel of mercy. Aud when
she dies may the sod rest lightly over her.

FOLLOWING A Buck TO EA-Durng the
recent camp hunt on Sn james Island by
some of our citizens, says the Tallahassee Flor
idian, an incident occurred which is, perhaps,
without parallel in the annals of hunting and
deserves to be recorded. A large buck, close
ly pursued hy the famous stag hound, Old
Ring, belonging to Mr.. Hopkins, took water
and headed right to sea; the dog, without hes
itation, boldly following him in his voyage
over the dark and treacherous waves" They
were watched With intense interest by the
hunters until each was mere speck upon the
surface Of the sea, aud until they were finally
and totally lost to view. After some time when
ii was supposed that both dog and deer had
found watcry, and, perhaps, bloody grave
il mortal combat, or had been devoured by
sharks, small object was discovered, which
proved to be OLD Ring, returning from his
long swim much exhausted, but reaching the
shore in safety; but to the great surprise of the
Spectators, after time the deer also appeared
In sight, making right for shore. on reaching
which he was shot dowu by Que of the hunters.
