jenkins, who has been spending some
time at Greenbrier White Sulphur
Springs, thus describes some Richmond
bellies:
Miss Lizzie Henry, a great-grand-
daughter of Patrick H., of Revolution
ary memory, a bewitching young de-
5utante, whose charms OF person and
graces of mind have already reversed
the usual rules of hereditary tame, so
that her illustrious ancestor will 20 down
to after years only as the grest-grand-
father Of his great-granddaughter, and
not she as the great.grsnddaughter OF
her great-grandfather. The roseate tint
of early peach blossoms flushing the
transparent snow Of royal water lilies for
complexion. Eyes that, chameleon
like, change hue with every passing
CLEAN Of merriment or shade of pensive
thought, from blush grey to soft and
soulful brown. A wealth of clouded
sunshine spun to hair, wreathing head
of classic shape and jaunty pose. Viva
cious in manner, high-spirited and free
spoken, sparkling and even pungent in
conversation, with q captivating girlish
grace peculiarly her own she is deserv-
edly popular.
Miss Alice Morson, of Richmond,
petite and winsome, delicate in feature
and feeling, with large blush gray eyes,
in whose liquid depths dwells whole
battalion of dangerous young cupids,
armed with all the archery of war on
masculine beholders; graceful as a fawn,
with the dignity OF womanhood, and the
shyness of girlhood blending in strangely
captivating style.
Miss Annie Christian, a joyous-hearted
young debutante, with blush-rose com
plexion, large blue eyes and hair OF
tawny gold, whose merry face and bound
ing, gladstone movement in the dance
and on the lawn are a pleasure to the
older lookers.on.
Miss Kate Cabell a queenly young
girl; tall, splendid in proportion; per
feet blonde in complexion, with mag
niGcient brown eyes, and a profusion oI
soft auburn hair, coiled around head
of regal pose.
Miss Sallie Aylett a radiant young
blonde, with large, luminous brown eyes
and hair to match; petite in form, grace
full as a fairy; and sprightly in manner
and conversation; she receives her full
share of honors her cavaliers muster
numerously and assiduously.

For indeed, our people never went to

mittee for adjustment, whose con-

but we refrain from tho fact that our

lieve in their professions; We look

rhe chief political question before
tlb country is one Of administration.
There is no serious proposition to
disturb the final settlement of the war,
lYwever their wisdom may be ques-
timed. The Democrats, indeed,
WOULD undoubtedly leave the amend
mnts to take care of themselves,
w'uld paralyze them as much as pos
sble, but they would not attempt TO
y, more. Moreover, the Democratic
Dirty is 50 hopeful because of tho re-
CENT Republican defeats, and the cleo
ion Of 1876 is so near, that a third
pr new party organization is out Of
The question, and the next President
will be elected either by the Demo-
Gratis or the Republicans.
Amidst tho general Republican dis
aster there is, however, profound ap-
pehension of the consequences of
Democratic restoration. The real
elements and tendencies of that par
ty, which are very different from
those Of its doctrinaires, arc essen
