ment Of Judge orvis. The N. D. editor of tn,
organ in question writes this way;
"why should q Republican Governor, who has
been so soundly berated, abused, and villifed by
Mr.. 0rvis, appoint him to ill SO honorable posi-
tion Surely, Gov. Hartranfi has not changed.
"As Il Is, we do not like to write column after
column to show that the Republican party is bet
ter, purer, and more trustworthy than the Demo-
cratic party, and then have the highest power in
the State appoint its greatest 4landeror and vlli-
fer :. high and honorable position.
"Let those who will not listen to the voice Of
reason, or be consistent in their political career
nor true to the pledges made to the party, stand

but submit meekly to "the powers that be-" which
was his advice to Democrats during the war.

Thou dark-rohed man, With solemn Face,
And mantle muf1ed round thy face,
Like the dim VISION seen by Saul.
Upraised by spells from Deaths dark ball
Thou sad, small man-face tain and old,
Teeth set, and nose pinched blue with cold
N,'er mind Thy coat. so long and black
And fitting round thee all go slack:
Has glorious Epangles, and it's stars
Are like a conqueror's fresh from ware.
Who wove il in Times awful loom,
With whoof of glory, warp of gloom
Jove's planet glitters on thy breast;
The morning star adorns thy crest;
The waxing or the waning moon
Clings TO thy turban, late or soon;
0rior's belt is thine-thy thigh
His jewoled sword hangs brightly by
The pleiades seven, the Gyp:y's star,
Shine az thy shoulderknois affair;
And the great Dog star, bright, unknown,
Blazes beside thee like throne.
Take heart thy coat, so long aud black,
Sore-worn, ami fitting round thee slack,
Is broidered by the Northern Lights,
Those silver arrows shot by slrites---
Is powdered by the Milky Way.
With awful pearls unknown to-day.
Which well rake up ter AL the hues
Proud summer, bridegroom-like, may use.
Proud Summer, with its ~oses' sheen,
And dress OF scarlet, blue, and gteen,
Floods us with sucll a eea OF light
We miss the faint, fair isles Of Night,
And thOurht ess dance, while lie with lutte
Deguilcs us III assists TO fruit,
But, like n shade from Spirit land,
Dim Winter lcckons with his hand

Save white-churned waves and wreathing

We dare not thank lin for his pains
We fear to follow, and we creep

Yet, when we follow him, how deep
The secrets he has got to keep!
How wonderful! how passing grand
For, reering through his storms, there stand
The eternal cities OF the sky,
With stars like strcct-lamps hung on high
No angel yet can rum their worth,
Though angels sang when they had birth.

Abingdon anxious for the Loca-

The citizens of Abingdon are
taking liberal steps to induce the
Legislature to locate the new Asy-
lum in that town. We presume
the Asylum will be established in
the Southwest. ard after allowing
Staunton its proper radius it will
be found that no other point for it
is geographically so desirable.
Let us look at the figures! Upon
Any good map of Virginia it will
be found that a pair of dividers set

as a stating point, step with beano

little singular, but turn to Colton'a

Now practically, Staunton is an
east Virginia city, and saving tie

never had State Institution ac-

not a Southwestern man upon its

tween Abingdon and Staunton and
the hundred miles west Of Abing-
don would have no such institution
at its western extremity. We do
not wish to allude to the folly
which lost West Virginia to the

carries its lesson. The loyalty Of
the Southwest has been like pure

THE GRAND DUKES BOOK

The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the Baltic Gazette states that he has
seen advance sheets of the first volume
of the Grand Duke Alexis account OF
his voyage around the world. This
first volume is exclusively devoted to
Il discriL ton of the Grand Dukes adj
ventures in the U1iled States. The
above mentioned correspondent writes
as follows about it:
This is certainly n very curious
work. TO judge from what i have
read OF it-whether his imperial high
ness wrote ii himself, or whether an
ADLER pen did it for him-the book is
intensely interesting. The Grand
Duke says that his reception in New
York almost supplied him. Up to the
last moment he hal not thought that

dered in republican America, to the
son Of a monarch. He was very weak

houses. shops and the people look not
m0nOtOnOus, but gay, lively and
bright. What amused him perhaps
more than anything else was that the
bands, upon catching sight of him,
struck up. not the Russian anthem,
but the sO-called 'Dirge of ST. Cathe-
rine.' which is played in Russia only
at the funeral of u member of the inn
perial family. The cheers of the peo
pie were more deafening than any he
had heafd in Europe. from which he
playfLlly concludes that lung diseases

ty of uniforms struck him as extreme
~ odd. He says, he saw. peacefully
