Agricultural Charges In Virginia
Eawnrd King In TIE Do~son Journal

Here in Virginia a slow but steady
revolution is going on. and it is odd that
1t does not affect the prosperity of the
towns more than at present it can be said
to do. This revolution is the decay and
ruin Of the large estates which fourished
of small farms for them. This is the great
and important change which has resulted
from the war, and II Is as inevitable as
death and taxes. In France such a revolt
ution was attended with great violence
and massacre. and was accomplished sud
denly. Tame says that the salient fact
of French Revolution is that ]; was a vio-
lent and forcible transfer Of landed proper
tv from one class to another. The change
goes on more peacefully and slowly here,
but none the less certainly. In the tide

The Grants Abroad.

Paris Letteto the Nsw York Ttibune.
Since General Grant came to Europe his
tongue has gained in loquacity. He dis
claims the ambitious projects ascribed to
him. All he wants Is his position at the
head of the U. S. army; and he thinks
that as commander of the military forces
of the Union there will erelong be work
for him to get through down South.
However, if he speaks with no arriere

assure me that he does not, he wants.

tive. to regain the high position Of Gener-
alisimo. The tour In the old world has
very nearly emptiei its pockets, and he
has come to an age when enterprise is
dull, and regular salary for routine work
is very grateful. He will not go back to
the States a rich man. whatever he was
when he left them. The insight which he
has acquired into the European courts has
not, he says, sharpened his ambition, out
the contrary. Emperors and kings are, it
appears to him, the properties OF cour-
tiers, and the slaves of futile etiquette,
which, given the functions of the moh-
arch. is indispensable. Mrs. Sartoris,

her father and mother at the Hotel de

woman, and is greatly attached to the

They Killed Him.
From the Carson Appeal.

From the Carson Appeal
The other night as old Blinks, who pre-.
sides over the case-keeper Of faro game,
sat listening to the various opinions ex.
pressed about our Indian troubles, he fell
constrained to relate some Of his own ex.
periences with the Indians, prefacing his
remarks with the assertion that not one
man in 10000 knows anything about the
subject. Said he: "You give me 100 men
as brave as myself, who would rely on me
for strategy, and follow where | would,
lead, and we'd whip all the tribes between
here and Alaska"
Blinks proceeded 10 state that in the
early days Of Texas he commenced the
subjugation Of an Indian tribe all on has

cavalry. and his courage and willy tactics

AIRY army corps would have done. He
maintained this uneven warfare for sever

mountains l 800 Indians surrounded him.
They had closed every avenue Of escape:
abrupt naountains lowered ON either han,i,
their sides lined with savages: several
hundred guarded the pass ahead of him.
while an equal number had closed in upon
his rear. To escape was impossible; the
odds were too great TO give battle, so he
surrendered and definatly
told them to deal with HIM as they
pleased. The delight Of the Indians at
such an important and dreaded
enemy prevented them from killing him
at once. and they were two days in counsel
trying TO invent some more horrible torture
and manner Of death than they had ever
practiced before.

His Gallant Action.

About mid-afternoon yesterday, the cry
of ''Runaway-look OUT" was started on
Michigan avenue, near Cass street. by a
dozen persons. A young man with the
peach blossoms Of the country on his
checks, and his pants tucked INTO his boot
legs, had Just come out of a harness shop,
and seeing the runaway horse coming
down the street, he dropped the horse-col-
lar off his arm and made a dash for tho
flying animal. Just how il happened no
one could say, but horse and man and
sleigh were all piled up in a heap the next
moment. and from The mass issued such a
string of yells as it did not seem possible
one man could utter. The crowd separa-
ted one from the other after awhile, and
the man appeared TO have been dragged
through several knot-holes and then run
through a threshing machine. Some
wiped the blood off his ear, while others
hunted up his broken suspenders and
missing boot-heels, and when he got his
breath he said:
''Oh! | don't care about these few
scratches. Where are the ladies whose
lives saved?"

The other day when a bury big driver
of coal cart backed his vehicle up to the
alley gate of an old house in Detroit to
dump out half ton Of coal some children
came out Of the side door and the driver
beckoned them near and said:
Last time / was here one Of the wheels
crushed a bit of dog belonging to one Of
you. | heard great crying out, but |
can't be stopping to look out for dogs on
the stree"
The children made no reply. but as they
watched him unload the cart they wonder
ed If he had little children of his own and
II he ever spoke kindly to them He may
have felt the burden Of their thoughts, for
suddenly he looked up and said:
well, own I'm bit sorry, and being
as | knew was coming up, l brought
along an orange to give to the child who
owned the dog. Which of you is it,
The dog belonged to little lame Billy
in that house there" answered the girl.
1T was all the dog he ever had. and when
you killed il he cried himself almost to
death. He didn't never have any play
thing but that little dog"
huu " Nou lohc tuls VI diikt.
Il can't. sir, COS he's dead and they re
coming TO take him to the graveyard pref
ty soon"
The driver looked up and down, seemed
to ponder the matter and then he crossed
to the other house. The little coffin and
its burden was in the front room, and two
or three old women were wiping away
their tears and talking in low tones. The
driver put his hani on the closed coffin
and said:
Il didn't know it was his dog-I didn't
know he was lame and sick. God forgive
me if made sorrow for HIM"
The vehicle sent to convey the body to
the cemetery drove up at that moment,
and the burly big man continued:
IF he was alive I'd buy him anything
he could ask. | can do nothing now but
carry bin softly out"
He gently took up the coffin in his stout
arms and carried it out, his eyes moist
and his lips quivering. and when he had
placed il in the vehicle he looked up to
the driver in beseeching way and vhis-
pered:
Drive slow; drive slow! He was a
poor little lame boy"
The driver wondered, but he moved
away slowly, and the coal cartman stood
IL the centre of the street, and anxiously
watched till he was off the cobblestones.
Then as he turned to his own vehicle, he
said:

THE TURKISH BATH.

From the Hartford Times.
Has any Of your wandering paths
Ever led you to the Turkish Baths?
They're the finest Of al things, never doubt IL:
Just sit down, and IN tell you about it.
First Of al, you shown 10 . cell;
There you proceed to take o6-wen,
You may retain your hairpins and rings,
But you must remove al your other things.
Then, you wrap yourself In a sheet,
And fold IT around you from head 10 feet;
land you'd better take one of your own,
II you chance to be large and pretty well grown,
For you'll hnd, and your modesty twill harrow,
That those provided are rather narov.)
Then you follow girl, in solemn procession,
Like white-robed nun, going to confession;
And she lays you out on . marble slab
And you fesl like lobster, or maybe q crab.
To state that the room is extremely hot,
The bounds Of truth overSteppeth not.
Pretty soon you begin to melt,
And you wonder how sh.drsci md Meshack felt.
Then you're put in . room that's hotter still,
And here you really begin to grill
And the perrpirstion begins to now,
And you think Of poor Abed-nego.
There you lie, and think of your sins
And all you've heard it will do for skins
TIL your very eyeballs begin to burn
Then the pretty girl comes and says it's your turn,
And then stretched out, ~ il you were dead,
On steamy, shppery, marble bed,
With . rubber pillow under your head,
You are splashed, and sOaped and secured, and
rubbed,
In fact, most comprehensively scrubbed
And last, soInswhst to your CONSERVATION,
Are played on, by hose, like q conhagration.
Then, tucked away in . clean white nest,
You can go to sleep or can lie and rest;
And everything in the whole arena
10 - clean % 1t IL at home-or cleaner;
And when 1t last you dress for the street,
You feel so supple and nice, and neat,
And even your temper has grown SO sweet,
You feel no longer cold or hunger
And you look at least to be ten years younger
And be you fat as q seal or thin a. a lath
Forever you'll bless the Turkish Bath
