The appearance OF new work rom the easel or
Mr.. Frederick E. Church always causes futter
In art circles. His new picture, which we under
stand is an English order, represents one OF those
tropical landscapes which Mr.. Church paints with
so much felicity. In the present work his brush
has revelled among tropical foliage, and the result
is very pleasing and poetic landscape. II must
be SAID that with all their native beauty these
scenes borrow something from the Imagination OF

THIaD TERN AGAIN.

More than year and half ago
the Democratic party raised the cry
ofC8sarism, and claimed that the gov
ernment, under a soldier ruler, was
fast usurping the power of the peo-
pie and ignoring the principles that
underlay a true republic. This cry
came 50 universally from the press
Of that party that it gained consid-
cradle credence. Some old Repub-
licans began to look around and
think of the time and the fate Of
Cesar and Napoleon. Popular opin-
ion began to grow strong against
the charged usurpation, and the
elections were marked by falling
off from the Republican ranks. The
Democratic scheme thus far was
successful, and hopes were enter
tanned that the charges could be
used as weapons in the campaign
just passed but the President, I'M
able to tolerate it longer, declared
his intention not to seek the nomi-
nation for the third term, and that
it would require II sacrifice in him
to accept it. With this the spectre
that became their idol passed away,
and after a campaign Of huctuating
abuses they suffered an inglorious
defeat. 1t is reasonable now that
they return to worship their Old idol
in preparing for the presidential
campaign. And this they have just
begun to do, for their papers are
filed with false charges regarding
the position of the President This,
however, as well as that of the Re-
publican party, is 50 well known
that the Democratic press might as
well turn its SANDER in some direc-
ton where it may have at least some
hope Of gaining the credence of the
people.

Result Ct The Eiec.ior.

At last the official returns except
for Oconto, have been made public,
which are asfollows: Mr.. Luding-
ton for Governor, has S3l Mr.
Parker, for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
1911 Mr.. Doyle, for Secretary of
State, 613; Mr., Kuehn, for Treas
urer, 200; Mr.. Sloan, for Altor-
ney General, 1913 and Mr. Scar
ing, for Superintendent of Public
instruction, 1879. Mr.. Luding-
ton ran ahead of his associates
on the ticket in Milwaukee, as
follows: Eaton, ll62; Warner,
1919; Bptz, 2Sl9: Bennett, tl9l !;
Graham, 1899 Thus it will be seen
that he was saved from defeat 10y
the support Of his feliow-citizens of
Milwaukee. At the same time he
made gallant run throughout the
state, and abundanty indicated
the wisdom of the Convention in
selecting him as a candidate of the
party, Indeed all of the Republ-
can candidates showed themselves
to he uneXceptionable and strong
men and it can be said of them,
what can rarely be said after the
ordeal of campaign has been gone
through, that ii a Republican Con-
ventiou were to meet tomorrow to
nominate State ticket, it does not
appear that the one which was nom
mated in July last could be i'm
proved in amy respect.

N TIE BOTTOM CT THE DEEP.

Scarcely a day passes in which we
are not called to read the details of
some terrible wreck. that thrills the
strongest senses with the horrors of
the sea. The most narrowing ac-
counts are those of the lost Pacific,
which went down near Cape Flat
terry on the night Of Nov. 18th with
more than two hundred people,
including crew, on board. The
vessel was old but strongly built,
and was sufficiently supplied with
iife-boats. The circumstances are
As yet unsettled and little mysteri
Gus: but SO tar,it is known that the
ship Orpheus, while sailing on the
coast near the above mentionedplace,
came in contact with a ship sailing
without the headlights that ships
are required to carry, Though the
Orpheus used all possible means to
escape collision the morent after
the discovery they struck. The cap
tain Of the Orpheus, thinking his own
shipwas disabled, called on the other
to lay by Not a word came from
the mysterious vessel, which passed
on in silence. \ short time after,
the Orpheus was wrecked, but the
passengers and crew were saved.
The other vessel was doubtless the
Pacific, Of which nothing has been
heard save the things of the only
survivor, named Jelly, He was
picked up nearly lifeless upon the
pilot house. He relates that the
Pacific struck another ship, bat the
captain ignorant Of the damage sus-
tanned, passed on. Presently the
cry was heard, shes making water
fast" Some of the boats were filed

A REMARKABLE PROPHECY.

Twenty years ago Mrs Henrietta
Wellington Booth was invited, in
Europe by an American family of
large possessions at the South, to
travel through the slave States, and
see for herself their actual condi-
ton. Her rhymed reply was this
singular prophecy:
You tell Of bright land far over the sea,
But, all can you call it the land of the Tree !?
Where the image of God for u handful of gold
Like a beast of the field in the market is sold
Where the child from the mothers fond bosom
is torn
Where the father is chained, leaving orphans
forlorn-
Where the maiden is bartercd like merchan
disc ware,
Then doomed to the lash and the groan of
despair
Woe woe to thee, fair land far over the
main
For the canker Of deaih--dalk slavery's stain
Shall gnaw to thy vitals, while ever sigh
From the victims who writhc mounts from
justice on high.
And He, the great Lord Of the universe wide
Shall smite thee to earth in Thy strength and
thy pride;
VI NtHSdHCt BilISl IAN ioT ibul tTutltlGS upllt
On the beings redeemed by his own beloved
Son
The sound of the war-drum shall thrill thee
at night,
And thy sons and thy brothers are borne to
the fight;
The slave and the cotton shall stab thee with
pain,
And the North and the South be divided in
twain;
And brother 'gainst brother shall strike in this
fight,
And battles be fought in the dead of the night /;
And the white maid and widow in sorrow
shall mourn,
And the flags of thy freedom in tattcrs be
The North in her might like whirlwind shall
rise,
And the notes of the cannon be borne to the
skies;
And though the warm blood of her heroes be
she'd
The light Of her freedom shall never be dead !;
The Stars and the Stripes an Excelsior shall be,
Proud Liherty's banner from land and by sea !;
And the Union, though spurned by the slave
holders scon.
Shall be guarded by n othmen for ages unborn.

TI.,AE PLAGUE.

The most fatal plague since that
which devastated London in 1866,
has just swept through the popu-
,atlon of the Fiji Islands, The
arena OF its devastation has been
wide, and its fatality wonderful. II
is estimated that 10000 people have
peyi,hrdduriaS the last four months,
and the population has becureduccd
to oue-thigd Of that which it has
numbered. The suffering Of the
victims is said to be great, most
dying Of dy>cntery and congestion
Of the lungs. Business has been
suspended for the last two months,
and the corpses have become
81 numerous, that hole families
have been buried together ina single
grave, and their funerals were hur-
lied 50, that in all probability some
passed through the asouies Of death
afterwards.

with ballast, and some were unavail-
able for other reasons. The lights
to be used on such occasions, could
not be found. The ship was rapidly
sinking. Soon she disappeared be-
meath the waves, and a frightful cry
OF despair went up from those who
sank with her. A few hoated for
for a time, but gradually they
persisted, till Jelly was the only
survivor.

Mrs. xoulton's Council Of Churches.

1t will be remembered that during
the Brooklyn scandal, Mrs, Moulton
was conspicuous in acting the part
OF Mephistopholes in testifying that
her pastor was an adulterer and
perjurer. For that reason her name
has been dropped from the roll and
her connection severed from Ply
mouth Church. 1t would seem that
her dissolution from a church whose
leading spirit she testifies to be of
such character, would to her be a
pleasing change; but notwithstand-
ing her declaration of its evil she
refuses to leave it, and has served a
paper on the Clerk of Plymouth
Church,in which she calls upon it to
participate in a council of churches
to consider its action in dropping
her name from the roll. If it re-
fuses, a council will be called with
out its cooperation. 1t is rumored
that move is being made to drop
the name of Bowen also from the
roll of membership. In reply to
this he states that he has done moth
ing he is ashamed of, and should
such an action take place it will be
necessary for him to defend himself,
which, in his opinion, will prove Diet
rimental to the interests of the
church. There are embers Of the
scandal still atloat that will not die
till they have kindled new flame,
which will be injurious to both
Beecher and Plymouth Church.

Death Of Eyron's Maid Of Athens.

The death of Guiccioli, left alive
only one of Byron's idols, in the
person of Mrs. Black, known to the
world as The Maid of Athens. No
one who has ever read the works of
the great poet, will forget the deep
feeling inspired by that lyric, in
which he bids farewell to her, be-
ginning, "Maid of Athens, ere we
part give Oh! give me back my
heart" and every stanza of which
ends with zoo mon sds dgopo Only
life, love thee) With her death
the last living object Of his love
passes away, and leaves the char
actcrs in his work alone, to immor-
tality. At the time of the poets
ardent passion for her, she was but
fifteen years of age. Years after
the death of Byron, she declined to
extreme poverty, which was no
sooner made known, than prominent
men of Athens, on account of the
great poet who loved alike both her
and Greece, contributed all that her
most perfect comfort demanded.

The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1875-11-18

The time has gone. by, in Virginia, when Re
pubcans have to whisper with bated breath
their hopes and fears. Conscious of the right
OF their cause they have persisted in the decla-
ration Of their principles until their enemies
begin to find that other people have rights as
well as themselves. The Republican party is
gradually and surely increasing in Virginia.
Hundreds of men i'll the Valley,who have been
heretofore actively engaged with the Conserva-
tives, will act with the Republican party next
year. Men OF substance and sense begin to STE
that it will not do to trust the management of
this government to party that has no defined
policy, no principle of action but greed for
spois. The Ohio campaign has satisfied them
that there is great danger in q party that pro-
claims and maintains such agraran, revolt
tionary and dishonest doctrine as that pro-
claimed and maintained by the Democracy Of
Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Not only this, but they see that the Consei-
vative party in Virginia is a fraud-a nursery
for professional and broken down politicians
a class Of men who are disgrace to the very
idea OF true manhood. The party is led by
them, and they in turn rob the people in the
name of the great Conservative party.
We look for lively awakening in political
matters next year, in Augusta county and the
Valley of Virginia.
