We saw a novel spectacle in Luray,

Shenandoah Iron Works has been paid
except in few cases that are in court.
We learn that Harrison G. Dovel
has sold his farm on the other side Of
the river nearly opposite Alma, to Al
fred Koontz and Isaac Bowers Tor about

who was ordained at the Old Stone
Church in this county, in 1886 and was

Brown and Mary Moor, the Captive Of
Abb's Valley noted in the Indian Pc
Rod of Virginia's history, and was a
graduate of Washington College and
Princeton Theological Seminary. He
was converted in what is remembered
IN the Valley as the great revival OF
1922, at thirteen years OF age and was
admitted at that early age to full COM

Rockbridge, in his native county. A

1t Should Be Done Oftener.

In this country the faces of our pub
lie men are too we'll known to permit
officials to go around, like the cele-
brated Caiph Haroun Al Raschid in
cognito, and see if their subordinates
are attending to their duties and are
courteous and polite. Lord Palmerston,
in this way, once caught one of his put
ting on airs, and gave him what the
boys" call the grand bounce" A
plainly-dressed old man accompanied
by his son, few years since, entered
one of the great French lyceums. The
much-swollen official in charge pointed
carelessly with his pen to two chairs
and went on with his writing. When
it pleased him he turned sharply around,
asking: "How old is your son?'
"Twenty.one, sir" "Twenty-one
What did you bring him here for? He
is too overgrown. Put him to trade =!
That's my advice!" Il intended to
have him act as my Secretary" 3But

he shall go to school" sThen, who are
you, and what do you want here?" Il

ton, and came here to see how you

you" Curtain; slow music.

DR.. PEBBLES, the lecturer, says that he
saw salt copiously strewn on the door
steps in New Orleans. He asked what
it meant. and the reply was: It is
consecrated salt, to ward off the de-
moniac charms of the voudous. There
are 10000 of them in New Orleans, and
they work magic, put spells on people,
produce bad luck, and even death"
He made some investigation of the sub
ject. and among the professed voudou
priests whom he found was an old. odd
ly-tatooed negro, called DR.. John.
"This man." he says, left Africa in
1889. He confessed to having had
twenty wives. Previous to the civil
war he YVES rich, owning at one time
fifty slaves. Many prominent men of
the South had faith in his magical
powers. Such men as Sidell and Gen.
Beauregard used to consult him. When
ignorant people came, he used cards
and crystals; but with the higher classes
he simply employed his 'second-sight
gift, making at times startling revela-
TONS" DR.. PEBBLES describes how ne
visited voudou camp, where negroes
danced and chanted around Gagged
serpent, and boiled the claws of birds,
the scales of fish, the fangs of snakes
and other things for charms. He is q
Spirjtualist, and believes that voudou-
ism is low form of spiritual mani
festation.

Ponnpeii.

In historical lecture, Rev. Henry g..
Spalding said that in 174S the spade of
a Spanish engineer first struck upon
the buried ruins of the city. The city
was buried at depth of from twenty
three to twenty-six feet of ashes and
volcanic mud. The lower half of the
deposit consisted of dry ashes and
small stones or scori@. Then comes
about ten feet of volcanic mud. This
was caused by the heavy vapor of steam
in the atmosphere, which converted the
shower of ashes as they fell into plas-
tic mass. Above this mud are the
scorie and ashes of later eruptions, and
the soil which has accumulated upon
the surface. Nothing, or very little,
was burned in Pompeii. The heat was
not sufficient to change the colors of
the frescoes on the walls, and the wood
work was carbonized by its long en-
tombment in such soil. The lecturer
defended the city against the charge so
commonly made that it was an immoral
and vicious city. 1t was city of art
and culture, and was inhabited by men
of wealth and rare taste. If our mod
ern American cities were to be blotted
out as Pompeii was blotted out, the flu
ture discoverer would find beneath their
ruins evidences of vice and icentious-
ness to which Pompeii can give but lit
tie comparison.

Laughed TOO Late.

A writer in the Independent Illus
trates the slow sensibility of an English
man to a joke. The anecdote is one
told of Artemus Wards visit to En-
gland:
He had been dined at the Savage
Club, and in return invited some of the
members to dine with him. Now the
great humorist was poor and very
democratic man, and so chose rather
plain inn for his dinner. The butter
brought on the table was Lot nice. It
was, to say the least, suggestive.
Waiter" said Artemus Ward,
haven't you got some bald-headed but
ter? Take away this butter and bring
some bald headed butter"
Nobody smiled; no one thought OF
laughing. The Englishmen went back
to their club-room after leaving their
host, and began to discuss the great
American humorist. Suddenly one of
their number sprang to his feet and be-
gan to laugh.
ooh, now, I say, did you ear him talk
about bald 'eaded butter? Why, he
wanted butter without air in it, you
know" Rather slow are those honest
English people to see American jokes
and this is said to be the first laugh
Artemus provoked in England.

BrOken.Hearted Horses.

Noticing an old-time Jehu critically
examining one of the lead horses in the
Phoebe stage last evening, the reporter
slid up alongside in time to hear him
remark, sotto voice, There's Dick going
to the devil just like all the rest, and he
hain't been on the road six months"
An inquiry as to the cause of Dick's-a
horse-evil destination led to the devel-
opment of some facts in regard to stage
stock that may be interesting to our
readers. @You see that bay leader"
said he; @that animal was put on the
route six months ago, and he was good
one, full of life and ambition, and when
he first went into harness it took two
good men to hold him down before the
start, and smart driver to hold him
afterward. Now he's as Doggy as
dray-horse, and hasn't got spirit enough
to hold up his head. They most all go
that way. Horses are curious beasts.
You can drive 'em twenty miles day
on all sorts of roads and they will keep
fat and die of old age; but put 'em on
q ftteen-mile run, where they've got to

Learn a Trade.

Not long since large shoe manu-
facturer in the State Of New York ad-
vertised in Boston and New York for
twenty-five shoe-ftters. There was
only one application in answer to the
advertisement. About the same time q
Boston firm advertised for q book
keeper, and received 500 applications
Tor the position. An advertisement for
u clerk il Detroit paper brought 100
applications the first day, and great
number of letters and personal appli-
cations the next day. An advertisement
for week in the same journal for a
good carpenter brought only four re-
plies. Commenting Oh the fact that
an advertisement for clerk will bring
numerous inquiries while few responses
are made to a notice that men are
wanted in the trades, the Scientific
american says:
Ii is altogether probable that in any
considerable city in the land an adver-
tisement for a book-keeper or retail
clerk will bring fifty times as many re-
plies as an advertisement for O fair
workman at any trade.
It is also probable that in any and
every city the average earnings of
clerks are nowhere near so large as the
earnings of workmen of average skill in
the various trades.
Further, it is certain that, with equal
capacity, industry and thrift, the young
man who learns any trade will achieve
q reasonable competence sooner than
the young man who sticks to clerking;
while the chances for materially i'm
proving ones condition are more nu-
merous in the trades than behind the
counter or at the desk.
Why is it, then, that the boys all want
to be clerks? Why il it that intelligent
parents encourage them in locking for
chance to "get into business" and in
looking down on mechanical employ
ments-as though there could be any
calling more wretchedly mechanical
than average clerking?
Why is it that teachers almost invari-
ably train their pupils to look above"
mechanical pursuits?
What the country wants now iswork-
men-inteligent, industrious, thrifty
workmen; men who can do skillfully the
work that waits for the doing, who can
invent new means and better processes
for developing the crude resources of
the land, and for converting crude mat
ter into DEMONSTRATING and ife-enrich-
ing wealth.
Mere clerks and record keepers are at
discount. There are too many of
them. And the professions, so called,
are almost equally crowded with men
who have nothing to do.
There never was time when ability
to do something real and practical was
worth SO much as now. Yet our young
men swarm after clerkships. Why is it ?
