Virginia is responsible for such blight.
Ii was the case of man without name.
Cast upon the world in infancy, his
parents name was never learned, and
the waif grew up dubbed Tromp Payne.
He was mason by trade, and had be-
come quite successful in business. He
had already experienced some NORTH
cation and some legal difficulties by
reason Of the uncertainty of his name,
but he had managed 10 get on until last
year, when he fell in love with bcauti-
full girl Of Fauquier and sought her for
his wife. Then he found his nameless
condition an insuperable objection to the
lady. She could never consent 70 part
with her own name until assured that
she would legally receive another in its
stead Tromp" applied to the courts
for relief, but they held that, while they
had power to change name, they had
no power to give a name to person
who had none. In his tribulation
"Tromp'' applied to ex-Gov. Smith,
who introduced in the General Assem-
bly, the bill declaring the name Of
Charles Van Mason''-in which
"Tromp" had combined the name Of his
chief benefactor with that Of the trade
whereby he had got on in life. But II
was not until the last days Of the session
that the bill was got through both houses
and was sent 10 the Governor. He had
not heard Of the facts of the case, and
supposed il TO be one in which The
courts could do every thing required
He vetoed it--returned II disapproved
just as the General Assembly was adj
journing sine die, and it was too late tc
help the matter. Late Information. from
Fauquier tells that the lady has finally
refused to entertain " Tromp's" pro
posal any longer, and has taken ano'h,
err sutton, whose name is inherited and
incontestable. s.Tromp," in despair,

one who doubts the cheapness of Anderson

easily be convinced by reading the list of
prices offered at this store. Mr. Arnstein
spent several months during the summer
season in the Northern markets for the pur-
pose of laying in stock of goods to suit the
varied wants Of their customers. The meas
urc of his success is fully demonstrated by
the popularity of their store and the pros.
