Mr.. SEYMOUR IN MISSOURI. Hon. L. G.
CABELI., now a member OF the State Senate
OF Missouri, formerly a congressman from
Florida, and first Of all Virginian, Is out
In letter on the subject OF the presidency.
After admitting that there are strong rea-
sons why Mr.. TuDEN should be nominated,
be declares that he nevertheless thinks II
would be unwise to nominate him because
be could not be elected. Mr.. CABgLL states
why he thinks Mr.. TILDEN could not carry
New York. He also declares that General
HANCOCK is his second choice unless his
soldierly obedience to orders OF his supe'
riors, and to the commands OF a Republican
administration, in the case Of Mrs. SURRATT
can be used to bis serious detriment." Mr.
CABELL compliments Mr. BAYARD very
warmly, and says good word for THUR
MAN. HEHDmcKs, PAYNE, FIELD, and MoRRI
SON. But when he reaches the name Of Mr..
SEYMOUR, he breaks forth as follows;
aNew York has another citizen whom
have long known, and whom consider the
wisest statesman Of The age, whose personal
and political reputation Is pure, who can
carry bis own Empire State and who can
be trlumphantly elected over the booming
ex-Presldent, or any other man whom the
Republican party may nominate. Ny first
choice Is Horatio Seymour. DIR. Seymour
is known 10 be dlslnclined 10 public life.
He would put aside public honors. But his
patriotic heart would not resist the appeal
OF his countrymeu to lead them in their
struggle 70 restore and establish true con-
stitutlonai principles In the administration
OF the Government and. II may be, to msin.

Messrs Editors Did you know that
Japan, with little more than three times
the arabic surface Of Virginia, pays annually
fftv millions Of dollars taxation? Not the
Interest on fifty millions. but fifty millions
itself. This Is done by high cultivation OF
the land. and by the closest economy. The
people live on rice and cheap vegetables,
wear the cheapest clothing, and i've IN

ceedingly little: in the place OF window

houses are without chimneys, paint, hinges,

used. They are, In the country, generally
thaiched with straw. Ny authority for the
above is Professor William S. Clark, presi-

A NAPOLEONIC RELIC Letter IN Relds-
vile IN. CO. Times. An interesting relic
OF the Napoleon dynasty is the chair used
by Napoleon l., Emperor or the French,
in his study, while ruling over the desti-
nies of France. This chair Is now In pos
session of a citizen of Martinsyille, Va. Its
history is this: In 1913, when Napoleon l..
abdicated to Elba Isle, the furniture In the
Palace Of the Tuilleries" was sold, and
the Palace retitted for Louis XIV. Mr..
Monroe, OF Virginia, at the time purchased
some chairs, among which was the one
used by the Emperor in his library. This
chair, with the others be had bought, was
brought to the United States and presented
to General Andrew Jackson. President
Jackson, after his duel with Dickinson,
presented the pistols that were used,
together with the chair in question, to Mr.
John Reid, who was his esteemed and init
mate friend. Mr.. Reid bequeathed both the
pistols and the chair TO Major Nathan Reid,
a late honored citizen Of Henry county,
who gave the chair to Mr.. A. NJ. Dupuy
more than forty years ago. Mr.. Dupuy
gave the chair 10 J. Hamlet, Esq, an
old and much respected schoolmaster in
ante bellum days. Mr.. Hamlet gave it to
one of bis old pupils ten or twelve years
ago. who now has it in his possession. The
present writer remembers well its appear
ance as it was the first day be attended " the
old-iield school presided over with 80 much
efficiency by Colonel Hamlet more than
twenty-five years ago. Although much
worn, it still bears marks OF its former
strength and magnificence. 1t has desk
attached to 1t.

SHOOTING THE RECTOR.
Two Shots Fired on IL Dark Night at Rev.
Canon Fleming, of IsaIlinakiiI.
County Galway.

Two Shots PRED on i, Dark Night at Rev.
Canon Fleming, of lsallinakiiJ.
County Galway.
AS the Rev. Canon Fleming, rector Of BAL
linakill, county Galway, Ireland, was return
ing after performing service i'll distant part
of the parish, a determined attempt was
made to assassinate him. When hc was
only u quarter of mile from home two
shots were fired simultaneously point
blank at him from a distance of six or
seven yards. The first shot was fired into
his face. The other came from yard or two
behind. This bullet passed between Mr..
Fleming and his servant, who was sitting
beside him. Mr.. Fleming was driving
in high wagonettc and at Il rapid pace.
To these facts he owes his life. The first
shot came SO close to his face that the
flash blinded him. 1t was quite dark at
tho time and Identification Of any kind
was impossible. Mr.. Fleming had been
living in the district for twenty years, and
on the best terms with all classes until
lately, when a spirit of sectarian animosity
had developed and this out, age was the re.
suit. Mr.. Fleming was unarmed, though
he had heen repeatedly warned by the au-
thOrities that hc should not be out after
dark without weapons. The police found
the empty cartridges Of an Enfield rifle
where the attack was made. Apoliceman
has been dangerously wounded by shot
from behinl a hedge near Cappaghwhite,
county Tipperary.

We have heard OF the death OF poor '' Dick,'

Who belonged TO our friend Andy Flick.
To whom the poor hog was inclined.
He was gentle and loving TO all
And he never was known to be sick
Till the butcherman gave him fall:
Then he gruntcd and gave his last kick.
His bristles to brushes will go,
His body to hams and to fat;
His feet will make jelIy-you know,
And hogs hedd-fulI, k,c-"rerbum sat-
But he's gone. We are mourning his death,
And We pity the poor creatures fall;
And until he sighed out his last breath.
He was loved and respected by all.
How ever the butcherman blunder'd.
To cheat him from part OF lis weight,
And say that he's not quite four hundred,
Is curious and strange 10 relate.
Five hundred-thc least-was relied OH
By all who ara judges ofpork,
But a viilainous game there was tried ON,
And " Hickey" and CObs did the work.
There was Daddy" and Mack. Jack

And longing :Oc some OF the meat.
