The Woman's Fund to Pay the Virginia Debs.

| Miss Eliza. the fourth daughter of Capt.
M. F. Maury, has suggested good plan
! by which the State debt can be paid. It
is as follows:
"In every country neighborhood. in every
town district, let some one appoint herself
an agent for the "Woman's Fund for the
Liquidation of the State debt" Let her
visit her friends, and talk this matter over,
and ask how much they can subscribe
monthly or quarterly; and let her make it
her business to collect the same. Country
people can spare a pound of butter or d
dozen eggs, or a pair Of chickens every
now and then; and town folks need not.
| give qnite as much as usual for their best
bonnet and dress that they may have
something to add to the fund"
The Hon. J.. R. Tucker is expected to
address the citizens of Middleburg, on the
the Goth, in aid of the ''Wo man's Fund, :"
for the payment of the State debt. This
scheme looks small for so vast an under
taking, but we should remember that
"large streams from little fountains
flow." Miss Maury publishes in the Rich
mond dispatch of Monday the contri-
buttons to the cause for the month ending
the 22nd instant:
The "Nest Egg" ........... ............$ 20 100
Miss Peterkin-s0me she had, and
her pocket money for the month $500

Col. r. L. Maury will be one of TWEEN
ty-five to give $3.50.
Miss Mary Fulton, if any one will give
her an order for a worsted shawl or three
little sacks, will gladly subscribe the price
to the fund.-" after deducting her mate
rials-$5.
Mrs. Overton promises a contribution
when she sells her bacon.
Miss B. has two pigs, and will give
one.
A gentl eman down town will ssbe one of

M. F. Maury, Charleston, w. Va, will
be one of twenty to give $50.
Mrs. S. W. Corbin, King George coun-
ty, will give all of her butter-money from
this time.
Mrs Bishop Whittle will give the mo-
ney laid by for her summer dress-$10.

Secretary Sherman who wouldn't swear
whether he wrote the letter to Anderson
or not, does not appear to have bettered
himself in his own witness: Mrs. Agnes
D. jerks, a female politician of Louisiana,
came up from that State few days ago,
had two interviews with Mr.. Shellabarger,
Mr.. Sherman's counsel, and then went be-
fore the Potter Committee, and swore to
what do you think? Why, that she saw
Weber in the street, who handed her the
application to Sherman to guarantee his
and Anderson's protection, to carry it to
Sherman; that she carried it to the hotel
parlor where the visiting statesmen were,
but Sherman was in another room; that
she dictated the alleged guarantee, which
was signed with Sherman's name, without
his knowledge. and that she fully exhon-
crates Sherman from any knowledge of the
transaction: that she afterwards handed
the forged guarantee to Weber, who, as
well as Anderson, believed it to be
genuine, and that she never regarded 1t al
of any account. Unfortunately for the
witness Ben Butler produced letters o.
hers to Gov. Kellogg and Mrs. Weber
showing that she regarded the possession
of the letter as of the utmost importance
and made efforts to get it from Weber,
widow. Pitkin and other Louisiana Re
publican politicians testified that the docu
ment was regarded, and spoken OF as tn
Sherman letter. The witness, jerks, il
spoken of by the reporters as the cleverest
sauciest, and most fascinating descendan
of Saphira ever on the witness stand
Upon such witness and such testimon.

DR.. HANDY. pastor of the Old Stone
Church Of Augusta county, who died in
Philadelphia last week. was born IN WASH
ington City, D. c., December 18th, 1915.
His father was James Henry Handy, pro-
minent citizen of that city, and an Off
cial in tile Treasury Department. He was
pupil of the late Chief Justice Chase, and
of Charlotte Hall Academy, and was
graduated at Jefferson College, Penn. 1t
was his desire at first to enter the army,
but after making profession OF religion
he determined to become minister OF the
Gospel With this view he was taken un-
der the care of the PresbYtery OF the Dis
trict of Columbia. Oct. 9th, 1886. Having
matriculated in the Princeton Theological
Seminary, Nov. 10Th, 1885. he was gradu-
ated in that institution after taking the
full course. In April. 1888. he was IL
censed TO preach ny the Presbytery of the
District of Columbia
Mr.. Handy's first charge was the old
Buckingham Church at Berlin, Md. During
his pastor ate there the Presbyterian de-
nomination, before numerically small in
the community, was greatly strengthened,
and became powerful for good. In the
midst of his usefulness and popularity, he
thought it his duty to resign his Garage,
and essay the hardships of missionary life
at the far West. Missouri, then an in
accessible and spars-ly populated country,
was the scene OF his new ,labors. Settling
at Warsaw, he travelled over forty odd
counties of the State, generally on horse
back, preaching. encouraging church
erection, and otherwise sowing the seeds
of truth. At Warsaw he preached at first
in the Court House, to a congregation en-
bracing many despel ADDE'S and irreligious
people. some of whom had not heard SER
mon before for years. Youthful and
! shrinking as he was, he preached with
boldnesS and earnestneSs, which, combined
with his spotless life, commanded respect
and conviction. A 1ourishing church, and
quickening of religious life throughout all
that country was the result. Meanwhile
he stimulated immigration, and the intro
duction of Eastern capital and energy, by
descriptive correspondence for religious
newspapers, and his services in this re-
gard are still gratefully remembered by
those for whom he found homes.
THE SLAVERY AGITATION.
Compelled to return to the East with the
remains OF his wife. who had fallen a
martyr to missionary zeal, he next took
charge of Port Penn and Drawers churches
IN Delaware, where also his labors were
abundantly blessed At this period the
abolition element in the New School Pres
byierian church was making vigorous war
upon the Southern ministers who rejected
! their meddlesome interference with slave

the nest remained tenantless. A
