THE HAPPY POLITICAL CONDITION OF
VIRGINIA

from Inc IlIcnInOhu " hR.
1t seems to be the general impression that
Colonel Holiday will have no opposition The
Virginia Republicans are without organization,
and there are no indications thus far Of findepend.
ent opposition. The Conservative victory from
all appearances Will be an easy one. Colonel Hol.
liday and his associates on the ticket Will walk
over the course and we shah, happily be saved
the excitement, turmoil and bad feeling of n
heated canvass. The new fashion of canvassiuy
for the nomination tends to relieve the final strug

Italian organ grinder, with II terribly
bad instrument, was moaning plteousIy
his i'll success. He had not taken u
penny all day, and had not the where

ton Of operatic airs made by the organ
were the reverse Of sympathetic. Pres
entity q showy dressed woman came
along, What's the matter old man Z!
The Italian artist told his tale. The
woman was evidently touched by the
mans tears. We'll soon put that right,
she exclaimed; give me your organ.
When she heard its tones she WINGED Il
little. You are little out OF tune,
friend she said rebukingly, but she set
of playing, while the old man looked
on bewildcred, and a crowd began to
gather. The old man stood still until
the woman was provoked into chiding
him for not having recourse to his hat.
Pass it round, and be quick; it's money
you want isn't it?' The old man o5eyed,
and the girl sang to the organ until IA
good harvest of pennies had been reaped.
will that do, friend p she asked, and,
receiving an affirmative answer, resigned
the instrument and passed rapidly away,
laughing at her frolic. A similar story
is told Of Lablache, the eminent basso,
who relieved Il perambulating member OF
his own profession one evening in the

great rejoicing among the friends of P.

the time General Custer was killed by
the Indians he was also reported killed.
His father has now received letter from
him saying that lie was with General
Custer when the General and nearly all
his lnen were killed by the Indians last
summer, but he made his escape in a
manner traly wonderful, according to
his account of it. He teigned to be
dead, and lay with the killed until most
of the Indian warriors had passed him,
and when he was discovered by an In
dian, lie says he killed the Indian and
dressed himself in the Indians clothing
and escaped to the forest. The Indians
who saw him on his way to the woods
supposed he was one OF their warriors
on duty, When in the woods he con.
cealed himself, and afterwards made his

TO those who know the restless dis

beaten, fat WAS heated and fish was fried,
and not spot nor a spatter touched the
apron or the jacket; no, not even the
wristbands. There was no "muss" on
table or floor, and everything about the
place and the person was appetizingly
neat. 1t would be well if every house

A Mr. Major, who was lately hanged
at Concord for poisoning his wife, ad.
dressed very pious letter to his two
little children prior to his final appear
ance as a funambulist. He exhorted
them to be excessively pious and keep
good, so that they might have the un-
speakable advantage Of meeting him
and their mother in heaven. Reflection
convinces us that if those infants wish
to meet the author of their being in an
other world, they had better ut once
commence series Of burglaries and
matriculate in some medical college,
where they can become intimately ac-
quainted with the medical properties OF
arsenlc, strychnine and chloroform. II
is very doubtful, however, if any one
course of life can procure them the hap.
piness Of rejoining both their parents,
and it is barely possible they might pre-.
fer the companionship of their mother
in eternity.
