FOR TILDEN

The announcement drew from an
Ohio lady the inapt remark-"ycs
there is the solid South !"
As we drew near Richmond a Gin
ciunoti lady who was going to the L.
:. Missionary Convention Of the Chris
tian Church, to meet in Richmond,
and who had politely given me n seat
beside her, asked me to point out to
her some of the marks of the late war,
| told her they had nearly all disap-
poarcd. She said would they could
disappear from the memory IA they
have from the face of the earth :" But
she quickly added, "Ah me! can
never forget that one of my sons was
penned up in that awful Libby Prison
until his health was injured !" / told
her there was war, and war was dread
full ; that there stood my mothers son
who was for many, many months
starved in Camp Chase, and as for me
was captured and robbed Of every
thing on my person and much that
was in my house. The good old chris
tan lady heaved deep sigh and shook
hes head, while the train thundered
on, just as the car of time had, leav-
ing her sObbing and sorrowing over
the rebellion and the solid SOUTH
Those people seem to think we have
no rights, no memories, no affections ;
that we are food for hell, and they 90
groaning on their knees and pray for
, our destruction.
At Richmond we were assured by
the conductor of the York River rail-
road that the boat could not carry the
vast crowd on our excursion train. -
We had too many ladies to hope for a
speedy pre-emplion claim on the YES
sci. So we drove to the st. Clair.
None of the party regretted the de-
lay. OF all tIe Southern cities, Rich
mond possesses most that is calculated
TO charm the eye or delight the soul
Of the southern traveller. The day
was rs lovely rs Indian summer could
could paint it, The st. Claire is the
most comfortable of Southern hotels.
Its bright rooms are a luxury and it is
located on the most lovely quarter of
Capitol Square. When I say it is the
lovcliest spot Of earth l eXaggcrate but
little, The State House is a grand and
suggestive relic of the days when Vir-
ginia was the most renowned and
honored state of the Union. 1t isone
of the legacies which was bequeathed
by European genius and the lofty
mind of Mr., Jefferson, Amid the
comedy Elms and graceful Sycamores
that adorn the grounds there stands
the Washington monument, the finest
work of art in America. The eye nev
er grows weary of it's feast on thar
browning work of CRwlord's genius
AS the visitor stands i'm the porch or
ga2es from his window in the ST..
Claire there stretches away beyond
the silyery track Of the James as il

How Man Was Cured of Swear
ing.

THEY tell curious story in the Al
leghanies-somewhat amazing also
of a dull fellow named Morgan,
miner, who was greatly addicted to
swearing. He would have made an
excellent addition to the celebrated
army of Flanders, or have been a fit
companion for the proverbial sailor.
Everything was done by priest and
layman to cure him, but without
avail. He had other vices besides,
among which were card-playing and
drinking. On one occasion he was in
