From the Statesman:


Miss r. j. Hollis, who was stricken with
paralysis several weeks since, died at the
residence of her brother, Capt. JOS. W.
Hollis, a few days afterwards. She had but
recently returned from a visit to Missouri
and was in the enjoyment Of more than her
usual health when strickes down.
The Surveying Corps of the Cumberland
Valley railroad have completed the survey
of the extension of the Martinsburg X Potc-
mac road from this city 10 Winchester, Va,
and officers of the road and Committee
are now engaged in determining the land
damages through this county. Hon. Z. J.
Faulkner, Messrs. 4 J Thomas, Maj. +. ;.
Troxell, are among the members OF the
committee from this county. -,N
About midnight on Saturday ''st, an
unsuccessful attempt was made 20 rob the
safe in the office Of tie Hannisvijlc Distilling
Co, located in the suburbs of this city, The
burglars effected an entrance by rt's'ng a
rear window. They drilled three holes in
the safe, two in the door and one in the top,
being only successful in the las, They then
charged the top hole with powder and ex-
ploded it, shattering the inside and almost
wrenching the door from It's hinges. Eyi-
deu,ly the burglars were frightened off as
they left without opening the safe, although
it would have required but little effort. AZ
the time TIE safe contained about $3.50, and
some valuable papers, all of which were
more or lc damaged by the powder.

On the Shore.

The day is done; beyond the distant mountains
The sunset light dies slowly in the sky
Only the pine trees break the deep night silence
And whisper softly as the wind goes ey.
No human voice breaks on the solemn stiffness
Yet long linger on the sanded beach;
Watching the deep, dark ocean rolling onward
To lands which thought alone not sight car
reach.
| have no fear of the slGe waves before me,
That strive to touch and clasp me as stand
Do not know that He whose care Is DER me
Holdeth the waters in His mighty hand?
And to my spirit comes calm, deep rapture,
The while watch the wide, unresting sea,
The sense of something pure and full anc
changeless,
OF something unfulflled and yet TO be.
I think, perhaps, that when my feet turn slowly
Forth from the mortal ways of sin and STRIFE
When shall leave behind carth's pain anu
pleasure,
To stand and wait upon the ores Of life
Then I shall stand with this same nameless
rapture,
And wait His bidding from the land above
Content. until He COMES TO gaze in silence,
Out DER the ocean of His boundless love.

Lines in an 1l5un'.

When President Garfield was a young pro-
fessor he wrote these lines in a young girls al
bum:
If the treasures of ocean were laid at my feet,
And It's depths were all robbed OF its coral
and pearl,
And the diamonds were brought from the
mountains retreat,
And with them were placed all the wealth OF
the world
Net silver. nor gold. nor the spoils Of the sea,
Nor the garlands of fame that the world can
beStow,
But purified heart that from sin Is made free
would ask for thee, friend, on ~ joirney

The Alexandria Gazette Of recent date
gives the following incident snent Gov.
Holidays gallantry:
Friday evening last an old colored wo-
man, on crutches, entered a railroad car in
Washington, for the purpose Of coming to
this city. The car was crowded, and tie
old woman requested colored man 10 give
her his seat, a. it was impossible for her 20
stand. The man refused Gov. Holiday,
of Virginia, who was in the car, overheard
the conversation, and promptly rendered
the old woman his seat, which was accepted
with thanks. The act was looked upon by
those in the car as a most graceful one"
Gov. Holiday is just the very man to do
gallant or graceful things under any and all
circumstances.
