horse wagon entered a storeOn Wood

her great eye like that Of dying

tars; out of every wood ascends a
chorus; the wells of day, the shadows,

a dead gold on the east, and tinges

Political Meeting,

On last Monday, the sovereigns OF
Shenandoah enjoyed the opportunity Of
hearing the speeches Of candidates for
Congress. ParSon Massey led off in a
speech Of about two hours. He IS a
very pleasant speaker and he was
listened to with close attention. He
discussed the financial condition Of the
State, and Of the country at large. He
is a forcible readjuster. lie condemned
the diversion of the school fund of the
State. He was followed by Capt. Jno.
Paul Of Harrisonburg, whose speech
has been fayorably spoken of. His
views upon the subject Of the State
debt correspond in the main with those
of Mr.. Massey. Judge Allen followed
in a few remarks upon the subject OF
iorcible readjustment.
Judge Harris, on account of sickness,
was not present. Our people are ready
to hear full discussion efthe questions
before they determine whom they will
support. As the case now stands. it
seems TO be a choice ofmen instead OF
a choice Of measures. It is to be hoped
that all the issues Will be fully present.

The New Orleans Times Of the 2d in
slant reports that very many children
are being attacked by yellow fever in
that city. apd remarks: THE health
authorities Say that the time-honored
theory that natives are exempt from the
disease is exploded by actual expert
ence. They state that the reason why
children of tender years are attacked
now is because this is the first time
since their birth they have been liable
to attack. Not since 1867 has the dis
ease been general. and many now sick
were born since then. The sporadic
cases that have occurred within last
eleven years were confined TO specific
localities and kept within restricted lin
its by disinfecticn, Children, although
residents of the city, remained away
from the infected districts, and, of course,
were no more liable than they would be
in the mountains. 1t is believed by the
health authorities that every resident of
the city must pass through some species
of accllmaton. In the cases Of some
children the disease is so masked that
il is impossible to diagnose it, and in
their opinion the reason why so many
children are sick now is because Tor the
first time in their lives the atmosphere
has been in a miasmatic condition to
bring on the disease. The health au-
thoiities claim an unanswerable demon
stration of the beneficial results Of car
bolizalion, stating that IN every locality
