ear the village of Midway, standing i'm
mediately on the line between the coun-
ties of Rockbridge and Augusta. One
end of the house is in Rockridge and the
other IN Augusta. There is neighbor-
hood tradition that the elder Motor
MICK. father of the famous inventor of
machines, became financially embsr-
rassed, and it was in the days when q
man was imprisoned for debt. When

would visit him with Q csriss and exc

Augusta end of the building, and when
sssailed by the Augusta law officers, he
would retire to the Rockbridge end OF

A Rich Man and Wife at School,

A lady engaged in teaching the rudi-
mental branches to wealthy people OF neg
lected education in New York has been
giving some of her experience in aseries of
articles in the New York Telegram. Among
others taught by her were a : 1lthy
couple, of whom the writer says:
But of all the cases of neglected educa-
ton which were brought within the range
of my personal experience, perhaps the
most interesting to me, and the most
ton ching, was chat Of nice and matronly
woman who appeared at my rooms one
day Utterly blazing with diamonds, with
fifty dollar bonnet on her head, and a
twenty hundred dollar camel's hair shawl
on her ample shoulders.
Though thus overloaded with orna-
ment the woman was not really vulgar,
and alter she had talked with me while
I really liked her She made q confidant
of me at once; she told me her simple
history and her strange position. Four
teen years ago she had been chamber
maid and her husband had been a private
coaehman, both in the service of the same
family; they had married, and her hus-
band had taken to his old trade OF car
penter, and from carpenter he became a
builder and from builder millionaire.
He was now the owner of one of the finest
houses on-avenues,i in New York, and
his sons and daughters were being educa-
ted at the best schools in the country.
But up to this date he had enjoyed no
spare time to acquire any knowledge save
what was absolutely necessary to his
business, while his wife had remained as
ignorant as at first. Now the loving and
