ed his business on very solid system
that he had never vet failed. and that he
would undoubtedly come out" very
handsomely if he would set the right
man for his daughter The lawyer add
ed that he would be glad to see Mr..
Gloss often if he intended to remain in
the city for some time, and would do
anything in his power to help him along.
Mr.. Gloss called on the Salads the
next Sunday. He was invited to call
again, and did call again. He was off
for two weeks and returned with the in
tention to look about" whether he
could not start for himself . in C.
He became frequent visitor at the
Salads. Mr. Salad met him in the house
several times and treated him as gen
tleman, of course, but did not make
much Of him. But when he was often
invited to stay for dinner or supper the
acquaintance between him and Mr..
Salad grew closer. He became a great
tayorite with the children and especially
with Miss Nellie. Mr.. Salad had a son
of about twenty years whom he had
taken into his business. and that son,
Willie, did not much like Mr. Gloss, but
he had nothing to say in the matter.
At last. one evening Mr.. Gloss took out
the ladies for a drive, and Miss Adeline
Salad returned home as his atfianced
bride. The formal consent was given
by the parents, and the matter was made
public the next day. After the engage
ment had taken place, the father com
menced to feel that he had a heart
somewhere about him, and began to
make inquiries about his son-in-law.
Upon inquiry it came out that Mr..
Gloss was not in the employ Of the firm
Of Strubelpeter, Dampfnudel 4 Co.. a
certain young man by the name of Isaac
Politur had been in their employ some
six or seven years ago, and had been dis
charged on account Of unreliabilty.
Willie Salad ferreted out that Mr.. Gloss
was the identical Isaac politur, and that
he had been involved in several disrepu-
table affairs. He had moreover had
some connections with ladies Of a doubt
ful reputation. But Mrs. Salad argued

II, as now seems almost certain, the
State republican convention sends a
straight republican delegation to the
national convention and appoints a
straight republican electoral ticket, we
don't know what the Virginia readius-
tiers will do for help at the next presi-
dental election. The republicans Of the
State will vote for the candidate ofthe
Chicago convention, and the democrats
for the man to be nominated at Chem
natl, and when from the aggregate OF
voters in Virginia the democrats and
republicans shall be eliminated"
there will be few left TO vote for any
other ticket, let alone for such wild
one as that proposed. which pledges its
supporters TO no particular candidate.
The democratic readjusters are certain
ly as good national party men as the
republican readjusters, and if the latter
will support the Chicago ticket, surely
the former will support the one to be
nominated at Cincinnati, especially
when the only reason they will have fol-
not doing so will be a desire to further
the futile aims of General Malone to
obtain the disposal Of the limited feder-
al patronage that falls to the State, and
those of Auditor Massey TO become

The Mineral Boom in this State
seems to be on the increase. In
Botetourt county last week Captain
G. NJ. Reynolds sold to Mr.. Cook,
a Pennsylvania, a tract of land,
containing large deposits of iron ore,
for $4,000, part cash Mr.. Sam

tract of mountain land, in the same

wha iron furnace property, also in
Boutetort county, was purchased by
Mr.. Bramwell, of Ohio, an iron
master, for $4,000, one half of
this sum being paid down. Thus
in one week northern purchasers
have invested $4,000 in one Vir-
glnla county, practical evidence
that the great mineral resources of
the State are becoming appreciated

WE furnish our readers some very
interesting reading matter in the shape
of the proceedings Of Republican Con-
vention at Staunton. The true in.
wardness of the contest is herein de-
yeloped. The movement TO get the
Republicans committed to the indie.
pendent tidket met with defeat. The
Republicans concluded to run straight
ticket and not enter into any eutangline
alliances with the Readjusters. They
evidently felt that there might be some
trap, and they were afraid Of Mahone's
ticket. When we consider the fact that
q number Of the delegates to that Tcon-
yention were instructed to vote for
Grant and the independent ticket, 1t is
very evident that these republicans
were taught to believe that the indie
pendent ticket would be Grant ticket.
Defeated IN tier effort to capture the
Republicans, the next move of the
politicians will be to capture the Con-
servalives. REIMBURSEMENT was a very
popular cry, bat.it viii not have sufi-
Gent strength 10 cause the Democrats
osthis county toto How blindly after the
politicians who would endeavor to lead
them under the cry Of readjustment
from lie ranks Of the Democratic party.

a good "driyc' was perpetrated
upon a Connecticut Western con-
ductor few days ago. a man
boarded the tram at a way-station
and paid his fare to point a few
miles distant On reaching his des-
tination he concluded to proceed TO
further station, and finally contn-
ued on until he reached Winsted.
Each time he paid his fare in cash
to the conductor, instead of buying
a ticket at the station, although by
this means the passage cost him
considerably more. At lastthe con-
ductor spoke TO him of this, and
suggested that it would be economy
for him to buy a ticket and asked
him. why he didn't. "Well,' said
the passenger. "Pll tell you.
Some time last summer | got into a
little trouble with this company and
they used me mighty meanly, so l
just said to myself, That Connec-
ticut Western Company won't ney-
er get another cent of my money if
| live a hundred years : and they
won't, and that's why l pay my
fare to the conductors . The con-
ductor dropped the conversation at
that point,

CAN an independent ticket assist in
electing a Democratic President? 1t
certainly cannot. A state that IS
Democratic by over 10000 majority
can gain nothing by running two tick
cts. The Republicans have repudiated
the independent ticket, and will ruH a
straight.out ticket which, every one
who understands Republican tactics
knows, will command the entire Re-
publican vote. 1t can only injure the
Democratic party and can only benefit
the Republican party. An independent
ticket is evidently run in the interest OF
the Republicans. The Democrats oil
Shenandoah will not be caught in the
trap.

If THE parties who propose to run
an independent ticket for the Presiden-
cy would canvass the Readjusters OF
this county, they would find that the
great mass Of the Readjusters Of ShenS
andoah are just as good Democrats and
lust as sound on the principles which
they have always protested as they
were before the question Of Readjust-
ment was brought into politics. They
will vote for a Readjuster on State
issues, but when you attempt 10 whis-
per into their ears, that they are bound
to support that ticket which the repub-
licans endorsed when they instructed
their delegates tosvote for Grant and
the independent ticket, they will soon
convince you that they have neither
sold themselves to the Radicals nor are
they in market at this time.

THE following remark by Readjus-
Ter to a Republican, during the Staun-

CARLISLE. PA, April 22.-Mrs.
Catharine Zell, on trial here since
Thursday last for murder, was acquit-
ted tonight, after three hours delb-
Grafton by the jury. Mrs. Zell was
convicted last November OF the poison
inc of Mrs. Mary Kiehl, but was accord
ed new trial by the Supreme Court on
the ground OF the admission of certain
irrelevant testimony calculated to pre-
iudice her case. The circumstantlal
evidence against the accused was very
strong, but the Commonwealth could
assign no motive. 1t was generally
supposed w. II. Wynkoop had induced
her to poison Mrs. Kiehl 10 get posses
sion Of her property, but as he was &C
Quilted Of completely IN the murder last
January a verdict Of mot guilty" in
Mrs, Zell's case was almost universally
expected on the second trial. There is
no doubt that Mrs. Kiehl was murdered
by poison but by whom will perhaps
always remain a mystery, in view oil
the acquittal of those supposed TO have
conspired to kill her.

original "Tenth Legion was the

she behaved well, We allowed her to
share our honors, but Augusta never
oven claimed 10 be a part Of the old

WHAT is the object OF removing the
poll.tax qualification of suffrage? Evil
IDENTIFY to enable the non tax~paying
negroes Of Eastern Virginia to vote.
The party that expects to secure these
negro votes will naturally favor the
abolition OF this qualification. Far
mers of the Valley. how do you like the
mover The negro that pays no pro-
perty tax, must be relieved of this dis
qualifying feature of the law, and wheth'
er he pays even the small capitation tax
or not, he is to be permitted to vote
and thus have an equal voice with the
taxpayer in determining how much tax
your property must bear. The people
OF this State by large majority deter
mined that parties who did not pay this
tax should not vote. The measure
was one of prudence and its results
were good. But now the party that
desires, and expects TO secure, this
negro vote wants the disqualifying
clause repealed. The Republicans are
in favor Of the repeal, because the great
mass Of the negroes have been voting
with them. The negro vote of Virginia
is quite large and in order to secare it.
it is necessary TO pay their capitatlon
tax. How kind now to relieve these
poor, lazy, fellows from this great bur-
den of being compelled TO pay one dol
lar capitation tax before they shall be
qualified 10 vote for men whose duty
it Is to say how much the farmers of the
Valley shall be taxed upon their lands
The war is evidently becoming one be-
tween the politicians and the people. A
close observance of the movements OF
the politicians will soon convince the
people that their interests are opposed
in many respects to The interests Of the
politicians, as is evidently the case in
this question of poll-tax qualification.
The politicians want the negro votes
and so necessary is it ior them to haye
this negro vote that they axe wiling 10
sacrifice the interests Of The people of
this Valley in order to secure the large
support ofthe negroes Of Eastern Vir-
ginia for their party. Let the people
calmly consider the questions at issue
and not be deceived by the introduction
of questions which have no immediate
connection with the issues OF the day.
