THE VIRGINIA MIDDLE.

/ We have no disposition to inter>
fere in family quarrels and never do
where the effects of the fuss are ex-
cusively confined to the family it
self. But whenever the peace of So
ciety is likely to be disturbed there,
by, it is a duty to do what we can
to suppress it, The two wings of
the democratic family Of Virginia
are at outs, The matter threatens
to become serious. Although it
originated in dif'erer ces which rela
ted to local politics only, they have
extended il far beyond its original
limits aud introduced it into federal
politics. If the breach be not heal
ed, it will involve in all probability
the loss of Virginia to the Demo-
cratic cause 10 November-a loss Of
eleven electoral votes. They have
put in the field two separate Hans
cock English electoral tickets, there
by splitting the party in twain
Now it is an abuse of the term to
characterize such action-.toily.-
Any fool knows that you can't
multiply by dividing. 1t is far
worse than folly it is downright
treachery-and means the giving
the State to Garfield. We fear Ma
hone is apeing the role which John
Kelly now confesses is played out.
1t is a cheap notoriety be will win
by trying to Tammanyise Virginia.
Esop tells us that an eagle once
pouneed down upon lamb and bore
it off to his lofty eyrie. The sight
reused the ambition of crow, who
flew at an old ram-'but tangling his
claws in the wool, the shepherd
came up and twisted bis neck off.
General Mabone may mako the APP
plicatiOn. Nobody will mistake him
for an eagle: he lacks the noble
beak, the sweeping wing and the
strong talon.

The season of the year when jeal
GUS lovers blow out the brains OF
their sweethearts for walking home
with some other fellow, and then
commit suicide, has come around,
and the murder and suicide business
is as brisk as ever. The papers
have already chronicled half doz
en- cases of this kind, and the world
has been thus happily rid OF half a
dozen melancholy lovers. AT the
same time, two or three new and
unusual cases, not heard of before,
have attracted attention. Oue is that
of considerations young West Vir
gilman, Towne by name, who blew
out his brains because he had been
unfaithful to the girl of his heart and
kissed a rival. Another uousual case
was that of New Jersey girl who
killed her lover and then herself
from morbid jealousy. If the girls
are going into this business as well
as the young men, love will indeed
become a very dangerous passion, as
a side glance at some passing fair
one may call forth a bullet or bow"
ieknife.

WHAT GENERAL GRANT THINKS
OF HANCOCK.

The Washington Post to day con-
tains a letter from a special CORES
pendent at Wyandot, Kansas, which
gives the details of very signifi-
cant interview with Gen. Grant. -
1t says'
Mr.. kntwright Informs your cor
respondent that General Grant was
quite reticent as to the treatment be
received at Chicago. When allusion
was made to the military record OF
General Hancock all the latent en-
thusiasm of his nature seemed to be
aroused, and he freely remarked
that, in his opinion, no better or
safer man could be elected to the
Chief Magistrscy. He eulogized the
merits of General Hancock a, a corps
commander very highly, and said
he was a man who never fAltered in
the performance of duty, and seldom,
if ever, made blunder."
sit cannot be Denied" the General
added, with a significant puff of his
cigar, chat the Democracy have
at last come to their senses, and we'll
improved their opportunity. It is
the first time, 10 fact, since circum'
stances led me out of the party thai
it has made nomination for which
there was slch show of success
and this time | shouldn't wonder il
they had hit the right nail square on
the head. And, on the whole, as
between ourselves and horse rack,
can't say that I'm sorry for it."
The General had nothing to say,
however, in depreciation of MIR. Gar
field, further than to remark that h
had rather too many volumes of Con
gressionsl debates behind him t.
make a smooth aud successful can
vass on.

DIR. rELToNs 1NsINcERIrY.

Oh. fEA1ON ANO1NObRAA
Duplicity and double dealing are
not commendable in an individual,
preacher, or politician. Christ de-
nounced those who practiced hypoc>
ricy as "whited sepulchers, full Of
rottenness and dead mems bones"
In his speech here las; week, DR..
FELTON, praised Garfield, the Repub-
lican candidate for President, and
said be was a "good man, of good
morals, and he had not a word to
say to detract from his integrity"
Yet, after he had delivered that
speech testifying to Garfield's good
character, he told two or three of
his democratic friends here pyivateiy
that Garfield had received "a lobby
fee of So, 900 as Chairman of the
Appropriation Committee and that
he was a back salary-grabber.-
Privately, to conciliate a couple of
democrats, FELTON, denOunces Gar
field publicly, to a mixed audience
of democrats and republicans, he
praises Garfield. 10 his speech he
has nothing to say to ''detract" from
Garfeld's character, but privately
be "detracts' from this "good man"
Now if this is not iusiocerity, all
shings to all men, face like Janus,
a smile or a frowp, to suit the time
and place, we are at a loss to char
acterize such conduct.
DR. FELTON, also said ia his speech
that he "had never yet recorded e
vote as high protective tariff man, "
and yet the Congressional Record
shows that DR.. FELTON, voted against
reducing the tax on steel rails Now
DR.. FELTON, either told the truth or
the Congressional Record lied. And
if DIR FELTON, didn't vote as a high
protective tariff man, why did he
deem it necessary to write letter
to the Atlanta Constitution explain
ing his vote on that question !
Next thing we expect him to de
ny having recommended, endorsed
and worked for the Radical Simmons
to secure the appointment of Census
Supervisor, who in his bitter letter
to Hay es desired the appointment in
order to get victory over these
corrupt secession traitors" in this
district.
Such dupIicity and double>deal-
ing will do to catch gudgeons, but
those who prize truth and sincerity
higher than they do mere man, will
not be ensnared or hood winked
again.

A LITTLE GIRL LOCKED UP I'm A
VAULT.

A horrid story comes from Madge
burg. A little girl wandered into
buryiug ground, which is under
charge of the chief sexton, and
plucked flower from one of the
graves, unconscious of offense. The
sexton caught her 10 the act and de
termined to intiict a punishment
which should effecsually deter her
from despoiling his graves for the
future So he dragged the terror
stricken child away to the dead
house, in which four corpses were
lying on biers, thrust her in, lock ed
the door and went about his bust
ness 1t was already late in the
day, and the sexton, according to his
own account, having finished his
work, forgot all about the tiny priso
ner incArcerated 10 the charnel
house, and made fast the cemetery
gates for the night. Next morning,
returning to work at the usual hour,
it suddenly occurred to him that he
had omitted to let the child cut of
the deadhouse before going home.
He FASTENED to unclose the door,
when a shocking sight met his gaze.
| Crouched in a corner, with CLASSY
eyes fixed 10 a s'are of horror, and
blood stained lips, bitten through
and through 10 convulsive agony,
was a fifth corpse, that of bis unfor-
tunate victim. The haploss child
had been literally frightened to
death.

INTERESTING DOG STORY

In the current number of the Pop
uIar Science Monthly there is very
interesting article, which details the
experiments made by certain Ohio
physicians to ascertain whether the
faculty which some animals possess
of returning to their homes by a
nearly direct course after being car
ried a great distance by a circuitous
route is to be attributed to scent,
memory, or to any other Ineligible
cause. Everybody, of course, is
aware of the fact that cat may be
put into bag and taken never SO
far away from its accustomed hearth,
and by never SO roundabout a jour
ney, and yet turn up again in due
time at the old place ability to
get back being apparently limited
only by great physical Obstacles
The subject of the Ohio experiment
ers was a deg The way they went
to work and the result is thus de-
scribed:
ga dog was made insensibIe with
either at Cincinnati, put into a wick
err basket, started on train of the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad, first
Southwest to Danville Junction,
thence to Crab Orchard, and finally
northeast to a hunting rendezvous
near Berea, in Madison county
This circuitOus route was taken be-
cause on former occasion, when
the dog had returned from a point
100 miles distant from his homo, it
was suspected that he might have
found his way back by simply re
versing his course on the railway by
which he had come. At Berea the
dog was shut up securely over night
and we'll fed. The next morning he
was taken out to a clearing, on the
top of grassy knob at some dis
lance from the railway, and was let
loose. Without any preliminary
survey he skunk off into a ravine,
scrambled up the opposite bank, and
struck first on a trot and then a
swift gallop, not toward Crab Or
chard, i. e., southeast, but due north
in bee line for Cincinnati. He
ran not like an animal that had lost
its way, but like horse on tram"
way straight ahead with his nose

air ine toward a visible goal. He
III ade short detour to the lett to
avoid lateral ravine, but further
up he resumed his original course,
Ieaped a rail fence and went head
long into coppice of cedar bushes,
where they finally lost him. The
report of the experimenters was torN
warded to the ner by rail, and on
the afternoon of the next day after
receiving this report the owner met
the dog on the street in Cincionatl,
"wet, full of burrs and remorse, and
apparently ashamed of his tardi'
ness"
