PARTY RECIPRoCITY.-The prospect
now is that the R'publicans will nomi>
nate Grant, the candidate who, of all
Others, a large majority Of Democrats
weuld choose as the Republican candi-
date, because they think. he would be the
ono the easiest to beat. The Democrats,
in Difference to the almost unanimous Re-
publican sentiment, will probably nom!-
nate Tilden; thus each party will be
gratified in the choice of the candidate of
the other party, but none but interested
politicians will he satiied with either or
care which wins. beth are alike repre-
sentat,ves of the money power OF the
land and special privileges; neither rep>
rrsents the rights of the people.

Poor BRENTs.-Ws have been vexed
and have SO expressed our vexation. at
the stupidity Of Delegate Brsnts, but We
did not wish him any harm, and felt
sorry for him when 80 feeble an oracle as
tho Aryus undertook to champion his
cause. But that was only "chiPs and
p"rridge," which was too insipe to ma
tsrially injur~ or benefit any one. We
little dreamed that our remarks would
bring upon poor Brrnts such calamity
as the support of the Transcript, tor if
that journal has never been distinguished
for any thing else, it has been the politi-
cal death of every public man whose adj
vancement it has attempted to promote,
including Hall, or Holiday, who was
supposed 70 be exchanged for some other
man, and has never been heard from
since. We are sorry that we had any
thing to do with exposing Brents to the
fatal support of the Transcript, and
would much prefer to let him down to
the peaceful pursuits Of private lite with
out prejudice, to having him annihilatel
by such damaging supports.

Belknap tells new story about Grant
They were at the Boston jubilee together,
While re-iding in the hotel one evening
they heard band approaching, playing
some martial air. Turning to Belknap
the General inquired what tune that was,
adding that he had been hearing it ever
since he left home. He was told that it
was "Hail to the Chief" and they were
playing it IN his honor, Tor the band at
that moment stopped under his windows
On the following day there was another
.erenads and reception, during which
Grant turned to Bslknap and SAID hs was
glad the band had found something new,
as he was tired of that old tune. Bel
KNAPP burst in hearty laugh, as the band
at that very moment was playing the
inevitable " Hail to the Chief" and the
General did not recognize it.

the duties tor which he was employed.
No political duties or obligations devolve
upon Delegate, be is but an attorney or
agent for the people to look after their
affairs and guard their interests in their
relations with the General Government
and candidate presented by party
convention packed in the interest OF
trading politicians has no claims to pep
ular support by virtue Of holding the
regular party nomination.

LITERARY ACcURAcY.-lt has been a
standing squib-as false as it is silly
among class OF little journalists, that n
notable public man writes the name OF
Jesus with small j." II it were true, it
would be no greater offence against liter
ary accuracy and propriety than the very
common practice Of writing and printing
the name of Christ, when applied to his
followers as Christians, with n small -
Jesus is common name in Roman Cath
olic countries without special reverence
attached to it. Christ is venerated and
worshipped rs the God man whose CON-
ing was feretold by the Prophets, the
name signitying his Divine origin and
nature. 1t is always considered cOntempt>
uous to use small letter fer the initial
of any mans name. It would be regard
ed as in contempt of the sect indicated
by name to use small letter initial in
the name of Calvinist, Lutheran or Wss-
leyan. and yet professed Christians often
do 1t in writing and printing one Of the
names OF God when applied to His wor
shippers, which can only he attributed
to ignorance, indifference Or wilioll irrev.
erence.

A REMARKABLE FAILURE-The
customers of Messrs. Lazear, Finnell

other place where they can buy goods
as cheap as they can at their store
They also failed to find goods any

the whole, deals more literally than

"TuE RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE

"IHE RAILROADS AND THE PEOPLE. "
Mr.. +. b. Thurber, Of New York,
furnishes to the December Scrtbner
a paper which will be widely read,
and which bids fair to create consid-
cradle excitement. 1t is entitled
THE Railroads and the People" and
it presents most forcibly the recent
exposures Of corruption in the great
railroad monopolies of this country.
The December number of Scribner
contains also many striking illustra-
tive as well as literary features. The
November issue was the largest num-
Der ever printed: it contained
one hundred and seventy pages, and
was crowded with brilliant pictures
and articles Of more than usual in
terest.
OF the success of ScriJner's in
England, Mr.. Jennings writes as fol
lows to the New York JForld:
what / was going to tell you
about was the wonderful way in
which American magazines are get
ting on in London. Scribner's has
had a very large sale here for some
few years past, and it's circulation
must now be, think, fully as great
as that Of any English magazine, and
it would not surprise me to hear that
it is greater Its illustrations have
made it's way easy for it. A very dis
tinguished wood-engrayer once told
me that no work done in England
in his line nowadays is worthy to be
compared with what he saw every
month in Scri6ner. If j mentioned
his name, there is no one on either
side of the Atlantic who would dis
pute his fitness to pronounce on such
subject. The rapid advance of
Scri6aer is easily accounted for, and
is thoroughly well deserved"
The price Of Scribner'S Monthly is
$4.G0 q year, and new subscribers
who begin with the November num-
Der may secure, by the payment of
$100 additional, nine back numbers,
containing all of part /. of Schuyler 5
now famous serial history of Peter
the Great, of which Rev. Edward Egg
gleston recently wrote: at is indeed
wonderful story, needing no aid to
the Imagination to make it one of the
most curious in human history"
For $3.50 extra, the two richly
bound volumes of last year may be
had in connection with q years sub
scription. Book sellers everywhere,
or the publishers, Scribner d Co. !,
TAB Broadway, New York, will sup
ply the numbers and volumes.

TERRIBLE ACoIDENT-Ex- STATE
SENATOR ULYSSES N. ARNETT, OF MA
RIoN COUNTY, FALLS OVER A CLIFF 30
FEET Hen AND BREAKS HIS NECK
The Fairmont Indec of last Friday
says: Early yesterday morning our
town was startled by the intelligence
that on Wednesday night Hon. U. n,
Arnett had fallen over a cliff into
Pawpaw Creek, at Rivesville, and
was killed. 1t appears that he, ac-
companied by his son, Mr. j. I. Ar
nett, had attended revival services at
the Southern Methodist Church
in Rivesville a Church that Mr.. Ar
nett contributed largely towards
building). After services they start
ed home, and took what is called the
goose path, (which leads around the
cliff that hangs above the road,which.
leads up Pawpaw Creek. The night
was dark, and it was difficult to keep
the path. Mr.. J. T. Arnett was a
short distance in advance Of his
father, and on getting down in the
road waited for his father, who, after
reaching the road, instead Of turning
down,in the darkness, walked straight
across it, over cliff about so feet
high, and fell into Pawpaw Creek.
His son Immediately went to his res
cue, and when he reached him, which
was in minute or two, found that
life was extinct. A post norton ex-
animation on Thursday morning
showed that the neck was broken and
the face badly bruised.
No death for a long time hasspro-
duced more sorrow than this. Mr..
Arnett was one OF our best citizens,
dearly beloved by his neighbors and
numerous friends, who are deeply
distressed by his sudden and horri-
BILE death. The deceased was about
sixty-one years of age, and was en-
joying usual good health at the time
of his demise. He was in his life
signally honored by the people of this
county. In ante belluna days he rep
resented the county several times in
the Virginia Legislature. He was
member of the Constitutional Con-
vention in 1872. He was elected to
the State Senate in this district in
1874, and in 1877 was chosen Presi-
dent Of that body. In each position
he discharged his duties faithfully,
fearlessly, well. He was the first
choice OF our people for Governor
last summer, but absolutely refused
to allow his name to be used.
Mr.. Arnett had retired in a meas
ure from active life,and was living at
his beautiful residence near Rives-
ville,on the Monongahela river, where
he was content to dwell with his peo-
pie, doing good on every hand. From
our feeble knowledge we think he led
just such life as would enable him
to triumphantly meet such a death
always ready. He was not called in
the morning, nor in the meridian of
life, but the years Of his usefulness
were beneficently lengthenedto almost
the allotted span.
In reviewing Che life so full of
worth, genius and manhood, we are
reminded that our lives are but as
the sands upon the shore, our voices
but as the evening zephyrs that DIAL
~ with the leaf for moment and
pass away forever
