A Funny Divorce Snif.


Washington Capital
Washington probably has as many
curious phases of the divorce of hus-
band and wife as any city in the coun
try. Every day brings something new.
The last is in a somewhat notable
family we see together daily, appar-
emily in harmony. They consist Of
husband, wife and two little babies,
who lived together at the home Of
the husbands parents until the wife,

weeks ago, from Indiana Grounds,

thereupop the wife packed up her
trunks, gathered up one of the chill
dren and mOved over to the home of
her own parents, who are well-to.d do
people. 1t was all very pleasant-the
ex-husband, with his half of the
progeny, politely accompanied the ex-
wife and her division of offspring, and
had her baggage slowed away in her
own home; after little family chat
all round the male division withdrew
with his baby. AT the door "Ta-ta.

tion of mutual respectand good feeling
all over the land-eyen in 1879 the
sincerity of the South is questioned,
and the statesmen of the Republican
party resort to the pitiful expedient
of setting up one little country news
paper, with patent outside, as the
sole exponent of Southern sentiment.
A hundred dailies and thousand
other weeklies, with millions of read
ers, are passed by, and the voice of the
wild, patent outside alone is heard by
the Radical party This is merely in
cidental, but it seems, in a small way,
to illustrate the unfairness and
injustice of the life long enc
mics of the South. The further
off the bolder they are; the less they
had to do with the front of the war
the more reckless of truth and decency
now. The murder of Porter, a popu-
lar actor, by Currie, a desperado, at
Marshall, is used all over the North
to demonstrate the old theories Of
Southern barbarism and lawlessness,
yet he was refugee from justice in
Kansas, and did not represent the
section or State in which he commit
ted his crime. None of the sheets
which denounced him as an exponent
Of Southern civilization at first have
taken the trouble to make the correc-
ton. So we might make counter
charge, that the war, begun against
the South when it was found that
slavery was not profitable north Of a
certain geographical line, has been re-
ligiously kept up until this day. The
lesson that we have to learn can be
condensed into a few words. We
must, while dealing justly and liber-
ally with all men, take care of our
selves, build up Southern manufac-
lures, farms, commerce, journalism
and literature, and while not seek
ing any advantage over any other
section-East, Middle or North
we can at least assure the world
and " the rest of mankind" that we
do not occupy to the general govern
ment the dependent relation of Ire
land to England, AlSace and Lorraine
to Germany, Hungary to Austria, Oh
Poland to Russia, but that all the
States are free and equal, one and in.
dissoluble in the Union forever.

THE dispatch by cable published in
this paper announcing the fact that
Colonel Pearson's command at Ekowe,
SO long surrounded by the bloody
Iulus, was relieved on the 4th inst.
will be hailed with satisfaction and
afford sense Of JOY throughout the
civilized world, and especially wher-
ever the English language is spoken
and English ideas prevail. What
ever is thought of the British policy
toward remote tribes and dependen-
cies, we sympathize with those Of
our own blood and kin in that
far-off land, cut off from hope
and in danger Of determination at
the hands of warlike savages. AS Com
modore Buchanan, of the American
navy, said in China when the British
were about to get the worst of an
engagement, "blood is thicker than

son and provision the fort for one month
and form another post on Ingingzun
Heights, leaving it supplied for a similar
period. Perhaps a third post will be es.

PUBLIC LIBRARY.-The editor of the
Lewisburg Independent. in urging upon the
people OF his town the ACCESSIBILITY of estab-
llshing public library, refers as follows to
the library Staunton
s'There is in the city of Stanton just such
an Institution as this.-Under the auspices
of the Young Mems Christian Association
there is Reading Room aud Library Of
about twelve hundred volumes. The Read
ing Room is open on certain nights in every
week, and here assemble merchants and
mechanics, lawyers and doctors, and indeed
men Of every station, and spend an hour or
SO in social chat or in reading the papers
and magazines of the day. The books are
taken out and are kept for two weeks
and then returned, and if not wanted by
some one else the person who had them out
before can have the time extended for two
weeks longer. Quite literary atmosphere
is thus created in the community alluded to,
and why not have the same in our midst ?"
The Reading Room is thrown open to the
public every night of the week, except Sun
day.

AN INCONVENIENCE TO FARMERS
Several farmers have recently complained
to US of the Inconvenience and trouble they
are subjected to in order to have their hay
weighed. The weigh-master, it seems, is
not required to be near the scales at all
times, and when the farmers bring hay to
town, they are often forced to leave their
teams in order to hunt him up. This fire
quently occupies considerable time. but the
greatest annoyance they experience, is in
leaving their teams with no one to take
charge of them during their absence,
Country horses are generally more or less
excited at the noise and hustle of the street,
and it is dangerous to leave them unattend-
ed. Moreover, if we are not mistaken.
there is an ordinance prohibiting drivers
from leaving their teams standing on the
street, unless they are under the charge OF
some one. We hope the authorities will see
that the inconvenience complained of is rem
eded. There should always be some one
near the scales to discharge the duties Of
weigh-mastsr, and thereby save the farmers
from loss of time, annoyance, the danger of
their horses running off, and the probability
of their paying fine.

PERSONALLY. S. T urk, Esq, Common
wealth Attorney for Pocahontas county,
has been spending few days among his
many friends of Staunton.
Rev. L. T. Smith has been elected pastor
OF Mt. Tabor, Evangelical Lutheran church,
OF Rev. Mr., Bush ong. This congregation is
one of the largest and most influential in
the country.
Rev. John Rice Bowman, pastor of the
Presbyterian Church, Harrisonburg, and
formerly of this county, has received call
from congregation in st. Louis, and has
gone to that city in reference to the matter.
Mr.. Bowman is greatly beloved by his pres
ent charge, and it will be a severe trial for
them to give him up.
1t seems that the controlling argument
against the selection Of Capt. W. H. Peyton
for the position of Superintendent of the
Penitentiary, was that it would be put down
to the credit Of Echols and Hanger. Captain
Paul had no idea of such a compromise and
urged the claims Of Samuel C. Williams, of
Broadway, Rockingham county, Re-adius-
ter from a Re-adjuster constituency. Mr..
Williams is clever gentleman, and will
make most efficient and courteous officer.
He is son of the late Samuel C. Williams,
Clerk OF Shenandoah county, and a promi-
nent Democrat, and a brother of Gen. Jas.
F. Williams, of Winchester.

THE DEBATING SOCIETY was not as

THE DEBATING SOCIETY was not as
largely attended on Saturday night as usual,
owing doubtless to the threatening aspect
of the weather. To the same cause may
possibly be attributed the absence of the
regularly appointed debaters, and the failure
of the discussion. The question appointed
was 'tShould the City Council pass an Or
dinance exempting from taxat on, for linn
tied period, capital employed in new manu-
featuring enterprises?" but owing to the
nom appearance of the appointees, no dis
cussion was had. Mr.. L. NJ. Bumgardner,
as substitute for Mr.. Kinney, spoke briefly
on the affirmative, but no one seemed dis
posed to challenge his arguments. and the
question was decided almost unanimously in
favor of his side.
Next Saturday night we may expect a
good discussion, and one of special interest
to the ladies, upon the question: "Should
the right of suffrage be extended to fe-
males?" The debaters are On the affirma-
tive, W. G. Kinney and J. W. Stout; mega.
tive, Harry Frazier and VIM. Patrick.

CITY COUNCIL met on Friday night last,
with the following members present, viz:
Messrs. Fultz, Crowle, Todd, Berkeley,
Cochran, Burke and Byers. The business
transacted was altogether routine, the most
important of which was as follows:
The committee reported against the advis-
ability OF conducting the city water along
Fillmore street, for the reason that there
would not be sufficient number of takers
to justify the expense.
Permission was granted DR.. Wayt to erect
frame building within fire limits.
Petitions were presented from the follow
ing parties, and appropriately referred J..
W. Morrison, G. Fl. Plats, John Fallon.
E. Hageman, and from citizens on Coalter
street.
Permission was granted to pass the tray
cling public through the city property at
the Pump House whilst the road is being
repaired
