Some discussion is going on con-
cernins the Legitimacy of the term
"boom," as applied to political
movements. The word is n conve-
nient one and comparatively new
in the Use in which it is now ap-
piled. But it is a good one, and i'm
plies n great deal. A ship has her
".iib boom," her "main BOOM" and
her "studding.sail BOOM" Web
stcr also defines boom to mean "to
rush with violence" and 10 "roar
like the waves" ltis probably from
this last definition that it is ap-
piled to politics.

The Rev. Mr.. Werlich was preach-

man was struck with the notion
that the congregation had been
wrought up to just the condition
Of mind for being easily terrified.

equally wicked companions, and
unfolded his plan, which was sud-
denly to introduce Il long-horned
COW into tho church. They
brought 4 black one from tho field
near by, twisted her tail TO make
her give an unearthly below, and
thrust her through the door into
the center isle. The light was dim,
the preacher had excited his hear
ers by descriptions of eternal tor
ture, the horn and black face of
the believing COW were not recog-
nized for what they really were,
and the impression created was
that the enraged devil had dashed
in for vengeance. Several women
tainted, and the rest screamed but
the clergyman was not deceived.

Life In kciand.

Men and woman, masters and
servants, all inlabit the same
room, while cleanliness is not much
attended to; but, poor as they are,
and accustomed to great privations,
they set an example Of cheerful
c"ntentment. The beauty of the
girls is something remarkable;
their fair hair falls in long plaits,
partially covered by 4 cloth coil
daintily worn on one side of the
head, finished at tho top with a
tasscl Of colorcd silk run through a
silver or steel buckle, which floats
on the shoulder. It reminds the
traveller Of the Greek head-drcss,
but the blue eyes, with their sweet,
benevolent expression, soon recall
to their mind their Danish origin.
The dress is made Of tho cloth wo-
ven in the country, and on festive
days the bodice is gaily adorned
with silver braid and velvet, while
the belt and sleeves are ornamcnted
with silver devices, beautifully
chased and often of great value.
On wet and cold days the shawl
becomes i beautiful mantilla COM
pletcly cnvcloping the head and
defending the wearer from and Of
fects of the frequent storms.

Pursuant to a call by Mr.. W. F. Lock
EFT, large number of the candidates for
Commissioner of the Revenue met in one
of thejury rooms at the Court House, in this
place, last Monday, and agreed upon plan
for taking the sense of the qualified vo-
tiers Of Roanoke county as to which OF the
numerous candidates they prefer to sup
port at the coming election. The plan,
which we publish elsewhere, is. essential
~, that Of a primary election, tna voters,
however, are to be waited upon by can
vasSers with sealed ballot oxes) who will
receive their ballots at their homes. or
wherever they may be found. instead OF
requiring them to go to the polls and vote,
as is ordinarily the case in primary cleo
tions. The plan is q novel one, yet 1t
seemS to be fair one, and WE have no
doubt but that it will work we'll. Each
district canvasser will have a list OF the
qualified voters in his district, all of whom
lie will visit in person. This plan is not
open to any OF ths objections usually urg-
ed against cSa,lcns nominations, and, We
suppose. there viii be no objection to it, or
very little at least, by the people, who, from
all we can learn, are somewhat alarmed
and excited over the present state of at
fairs with regard 10 this particular office.
Under the circumstances. we do not see
what better they can do than to cast their
ballots fer their first choice when waited
upon by the district canvassers, aid then.
on the day Of election, to cast their united
u0tes for that candidate who proves to be
the strongest in che primary contest.-Sa-
