soon became convinced of the fruitlessness
of his endeavors, and theneeforward be-

Sandy's last wish. please take care OF
Fred was faithfully attended TO. Many
of the residents of Yokohama showed
themselves ready to adopt the good dog
but Fred did not seem inclined TO acknowl-
edge a new master. and testified little
gratitude for the caresses bestowed on
him. He visited first one and then anoth-
er of his numerous patrons, and did not
ject TO accompany any OF them in turn
during a walk or ride but no one could
boast that Fred was his dog. His favorite
resort was the club, where in the evening
all his friends met, and where he usually
remained till the last guest left. Then he
took up his quarters for the night with one
or another OF his friends; and hospitality
was readily extended to him, for he was
both watchful and well behaved.
A year had thus gone by. when the
"Georgiana' once more arrived at \ oko-
hama harbor. The captain walking on
the dH1ld one day. recognized his former
passenger Fred, and called to the dog
Fred snutled at him deliberately, dropped
bis head, and appeared for few minutes
to mediate profoundly. But suddenly he
showed the widest delight, leaped up the
captain and licked his hands, barking and
smiling; then s'arted down the street al
full speed and at last returned TO take his
old place at the heels of his new master.
The captain, we have said was philoso-
pher; he accepted the situation as "A de-
cree of fate to which he bowed submis-
sively.
One evening, not long after this. the
captain was attacked by party OF drunk
en- Japanese officers. Fred sprang at the
throat OF one OF the assailauts and would
have strangled him, if another OF the jap
anese had not cut him down with stroke
of his sword. The captain escaped with
a slight wound and took refuge in the club,
from whence he soon sailed forth with a
party of friends to give chase to his foes
and try to save his dog But his brave
friend and defender was dead. He was
buried in the yard of the club house of
lok Ohama. where a stone with the in

aovern0r Holidays Inaugural.

Since much of our space. is given to
this document, we need not indulge ex-
tended comment thereon. Indeed it fur
nlshes its own commentary. 1t is Just
what we would have from GoveTneor
of Virginia at this Hme. and all that is
needed tG Prove that the gentleman who
is to fill the highest executive office in
the State for four years to come, is in
sympathy and accord with the men who
are now struggling to preserve the an
cient faith of this renowned old COM
monwealth.
Rightly does the new Governor say
that 1.-The honor of State is above
price," while he shows that disregard of
The high obligations resting upon peo-
pie, will, inevitably, work that moral
deterioration which converts "a high
minded and honorable race into deprav-
ed and dishonest men," By slow but
sure degrees this result must follow even
in Virginia, if the men who are now
trying to install their base doctrines into
the minds of the people, shall succeed.
Gov. Holiday also pertinently re
marks, in referring to the fOuryears'
struggle through which we passed, and
the sacrifices we made in vindlcation of
what we thought to be sacred principle,
tnat, were we Wiling now TO Dear one
hundredsh part of what we then bore,
the debt would have been well nigh
paid, and triumph equal to the victory
Of arms would have signalized the pa
triotism ami devotion of our people"
Furthermore, he embodies in single
sentence, the paramount duty of tue
hour, while he rehukes those who have
employed every device and exhausted
all eXpedients in trying to evade the
plainest obligation ever imposed upon Il
people, saying: "Our duty then is to
pay the debt; not to find rags to avoid
it," There is no equivocation here, aud
it is Just such an utLeranceas We wanted
to hear from the Goxernor. 1t will sat
flee to satisfy any, if such there were,
who feared that Gov Holiday would
not meet this question in the same man
ly spirit that characterized his predeces

A woman in trance was recently
buried alive in Naples. From the evil
dence brought before the Appeal Court
it appears that she was inferred with all
the usual formalities. Some days after
wards, the grave in which she had been
placed being opened for the reception of
another body, it was found that the
clothes which covered the unfortunate
woman were torn to pieces, and that she
had even broken her limbs in attempt
ing to extricate herself from the tomb.
The court sentenced the doctor who had
signed the certificate Of decease, and the
mayor who had authorized the inter-
,nent, each to three months imprison.
lnent for involu ntary manslaughter.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT AT Norfolk,
on last Thursday, little boy named
Willie Miles, about ten years of age, was
run over by the cars and had both of
his legs cut off just across the thighs.
1t appears that he got upon the cars to
ride, when man went to put him off,
and in jumping down he slipped on a
rock and fell on the track, and his legs
were run over by the train.
