The Two Virginias.
BY HON. JOHN SHERMAN, OF OHIO.

=@''77+-'' Ut o0111e''
The two Vlrginias, regarded as one, have
more unused larbors and undeveloned re-.
sources than any part of the United States
They should never have been separated and
should be reunited. Their separation was the
result of the war, and their reunion into one
State would greatly benefit both. What a no
BILE task it would be to restore the Old Do
minion to her former boundaries and then to
develop her great resources with the aid of
modern agencies and new life and labor. The
coal and iron Of West Virginia should be mar
keted in the magnificent waters of the Poto-
James inlets. These can scarcely be classed
as rivers. for, above tidewater, they are insig-
nifcant streams; but below they are broad

The devotional exercises of the Method
list Eoumenical Conference, now 81 tting in
London, specially referred to President
Garfield. on the Sth inst. There is some
thing very Impressive and touching in this
announcement, and illustrates what rever-
ence and respect are paid to our free insti-
lions by all the powers of the world. This
Conference has representatives in 1t from
every civilized country on the globe, for
where civilization has a foothold, there
Methodism has planted the standard of the
Cross It is q tribute more to the religious
freedom and the growth Of gospel truth I'M
der our form Of government, than to
the suffering President. 1t is because he
represents country wherein every one
may worship under his own vine and Zig
tree. none daring to modest or make him
afraid, that the prayers of the christian
world are daily ascending for the preserva-
ton OF his life. =

PerilS of the Deep,

The world-renowned swimmer, Captain
Paul Boyton, in an interview with q news
paper correspondent, at the seashere, related
the following incident in his experience
Reporter. Boyton, you must have
seen a large part of the world? ?" .l,oG
Capt Boyton.-"Yes, sir, by the aid of nv
Rubber Life-Saving Dress, l have travelled
over 10000 miles on the rivers of Amer lea
and Europe: have also been presented to the
crowned heads of England, France, Germany,
Austria, Belgium Italy, Holland, Spain and
Portugal and have in my possession forty
two medals and decorations; have three
times received the order of knighthood, and
been elected honorary member OF committees,
clubs, orders and societies."
Reporter your various trips accom-
panied by much danger?" $50 ID =.
Capt. Boyton THAT depends upon what
you may call dangerous. During my trip
down the river Tagus in Spain, 1 had to
shoot one hundred and two waterfalls, the
highest being about eigety-tive feet, and in
Vulnerable rapids. Crossing the Straits of
Messina, l had three ribs broken in a light
with sharks; and coming down the Somane,
river in France, l received charge of shot
from an excited and startled huntsman AL
though all this was not very pleasant, and
might be termed dangerous, / fear nothing
more on my trip than intense cold; for, as
long as my limbs are tree and easy, and not
cramped or benumbed, lam all right Of late
carry stock of st. Jacobs Oil in my little
boat,-(the Captain calls it Baby Nine" and
has stored therein signal rockets, thermome-
ter, compass, provisions, ETC. land have had
but little trouble. Before starting out / rub
myself thoroughly with the article, and its &C
ton on the muscles is wonderful From con-
slant exposure | am somewhat subject to rheu-
matte pains, and nothing would eyer benefit
me until | got hold OF this Great German
Remedy. Why, on my travels I have met
people who had been suffering with rheuma-
tism for years; by my advice they tried the
Oil, and it cured them. I would sooner do
without food for days than be without this
remedy for one hour. In fact would not at
tempt trip without it.
The Captain became very enthusiastic on
the subject of st. Jacobs Oil, and we left him
citing instances OF the curative qualities of the
Great German Remedy to party around him.

,DE ON THE AssAssINATIos.

prize offered by a London weekly for the bes
poem on the attempted assassination of Presiden
Garfield was awarded to the author Of the following
Veil, now, Liberty, thy blushing face,
At the fell deed that thrills a startled world
While fair Columbia weeps In dire disgrace,
And bows in sorrow Ser the banner furled.
no graceiess tyrant falls by vengeance here,
Meath the wild justice of the secret knife;
Nor red Ambition ends Its grim career,
And expiates Its horrors with Its life
Not here does rash Revenge misguided burn,
To free nation with tn assassin's DART
Or reused Despair In angry madness turn
And tear its freedom from despot's heart.
But where blest Liberty so widely reigns,
And Peace and Plenty mark smiling land,
Here the mad wretch its fair white record stains,
And blurs Its beauties with a "bloody hand"
Here the elect of millions, and the pride
OF those who own his mild and peaceful rule;
Here Virtue sinks and Yields the crimson tide
Beneath the vile unreason of fooli
But Heavens hand hath stayed the erring ball,
And saved life as virtuous as rare;
Yet that such deeds whispering world appall,
Is deaven's mystery and man ) dlspair
