a Pink OF a Judge.

Judge Tyler, Of Montgomery county,
Tennes; ee, is to be impeached for ne
glect, drunkenness. misappropriation
and attempt TO asSassinate. He ap-
pears to be Il versatile character, who
has had u pretty busy life Of it.
The Duukards of johnson county
Missouri, some time ago got up con-
troYeIsy among themselves, which has
now assumed such proportions that 1t
threatens to make a division in the
body. The ceremony Of feot-wash-
ing is one OF the old religious obsery-
ances of these people. The controversy
is as to whether in the performance Of
this rite one foot or both should be
washed. On this important poiEt
opinion is about equally divided. As
in most controversies of this sort, so III
this, both sides are very firmly set in
their views, ard neither is willing to
give up or TO modify. Each side claims
to have Scripture IN its favor. In a.
mother ecclesiastical fellowship the
question some tune ago arose as to the
use of soap in this ceremony, one pal
ty cuntending that it was originally
used on the feet OF the disciples and
the opposition maintaining that soap
was unscriptural. 1t is safe To Say
that all these contending brethren de-
parted from the original spirit Of the
recorded washing by Jesus Of the feet
Of the disciples.
How TO BE NoBoDY.-It iB easy to
be nobody, and we will tell you how to
do it. Go to drinking saloons TO spend
your leisure time. You need not drink
much now; just little beer, or some
other drink. In the meantime play
dominoes, checkers, CT something else
to kill time, 50 that you will be sure
not to read any useful books. II you
read anything let it be dime novels o1
J the day; thus go on keeping your
stomach full and your head empty, and
yourself playing time-killlug games
AMI in a few years you'll be nobody
unless you turn out drunkard Oh
professional gambler, either of which
is worse than nobody. There are any
number of young men hanging about
saloons just ready 10 graduate and b
nobodies. .--Er.

From the Kenneosc (Me.l Journal
Mr.. Samuel Clarke, of Vasselboro,
has been IN the habit OF carrying a
copying pencil in his coat pocket. One
day last week Mr. Clarke came to Au-
gusta and while in the city he prrchas-
ed some 'troches for cold, which he
pat loose In the pocket where they
were constantly coming in contact
with the lead. While returning To
VasselbOro on the cars he felt tick
ling in his throat and to allay the hri-
tation partook of several troches. His
tongue at once began to swell and turn
black aud by the time he arrived home
he was deadly sick. A physician was
summoned, who promptly administer
ed antidotes for the poison. Ii is said
that Il piece of the lead OF one of these
pencils, half the size CT pea, wilt
cause the death of u robust man.

EDITORS SPECTAToR-The undersigned re-
specially call on G. A. Richardson, ESQ.,, to al
low his name to be used before the Augusta
county nominating convention OfCOnservative
Democrats for the House OF Delegates. We do
not believe in that class legislation which re-
presents only one interest in community,
end We do not want suck q apfeScys..et-e at
this particular Juncture in the affairs of our
State. Therefore, we look to him ~ . represent
tative man, possessing eminent practical busi-
ness knowledge, and q good stock Of common
sense for all mattersrelating to the interest and
welfare of our section. We want q candidate
alike suitable and acceptable to the merchants.
mechanics, and farmers Of Augusta county
We fiatter ourselves that we know him well,
and we are willing to try him and trust him.
Mr.. Richardson lived among Us fifteen years
actively engaged in business pursuits, thor
oughly Identified with all our interests, in full
sympathy with our feelings, always with u
and one of us during all this time he has sus-
tanned q urst class record for air-dealing, hon.
esty. business knowledge, general practical in.
formation, and the intelligent culture Of the
gentleman and scholar that will fit him for any
position to which he may be called. We feel
satisfied he isjust the man. we want. and We
Will oheerfully support him ~ candidate to
represent US In our next Legislature. We hope
he will respond to this call and announce HIM

On, DANIEL!-The Wing takes as q
Cameron triumph the fact that during
the latter part of the canvass Mai. Daniel
will not meet Cameron. The Wing does
the Conservative Democratic candidate
the unintentional favor of publishing
his appointments and it will be readily
seen 1t glance that the reason why
Maj. Daniel will not meet Col. Gamer
on during the latter part of the canvass
is because he will speak in Southwest
Virginia where Col. Cameron has al
ready spoken. This course is wise. For
Maj. Daniel can thus easily undo what
ever Col. Cameron may have done for
his own success among the sturdy, hon.
est people of the Southwest. No WON
der, then, that the Wing betrays its
wish Of keeping MAJ Daniel With Cam
west, is the Mahoneite wall, q wall deep
and long and sad. Oh, keep Daniel
out of the Southwest!-State.

To THE PEOPLE OF AUGUSTA COUNTY
In view of the fact that the people Of this coun-
ty will be soon called upon to elect members OF
the General Assembly; and in order to answer
the many inquiries made Of me in private, /.
take this method Of saying, that while grateful
for the confidence heretofore reposed in me
by the people Of Augusta, am not candidate
for reelection to the House of Delegates, and
will not be under any circumstances. This &C
tion does not proceed from any lack of Interest
in public affairs and it is needless for me
to say that intend to CONT ibute all in my
power towards the success of our cause and Of
our candidates. respectfully,
