The Coming Lady Of the White
House. .'

AS President ArLhur's wife is dead, it has
been suggested that his sister Mis-. Mary Nc
Elroy, Of Albany, would probably be mistress
of the White House under the new admins
tration. She is the wife of John L. AcElroy,
of Albany. She is lady of winning pres
ence and is noted both for her culture and
social charms. Mrs. McElroy is not at all fond
of display, preferring rather her own fireside
ing eften at New York to look after the
household matters Of Gen. Arthur. Mrs. Me-
Elroy has two children, a boy and girl. b

A CHANCE FOR READJUsTER Or
aANs.-A correspondent of the Abing-
don Standard offers any Resdjuster pa
per dollar line to publish two of Col.
Cameron,s anecdotes told in his speech
at Abingdon. From what we have
heard Of these smutty stories, we VEN
ture to say that any paper in Virginia
that would dare to publish them would
lose every decent subscriber from It's
mail books, and be liable to prosecution
for sendidg obscene literature through
the mails. And yet these filthy jokes
were told in the presence of hundreds
of decent and refined people by man
who aspires to the high Office of Gov
ernor of Virginia, and boasts that he
'cOuld stand it," But the question is
not go much whether he could stand
it," as whether the people Of Virginia
could. No man of unclean lips, whose
mind revels in filth, ought to occupy
that exalted position since the first
citizen of Virginia should be man of
pure and exalted character, like him
who fills that position SO worthily
now,-and no retailer of filthy anec-
dotes gathered from the sums of our
cities, ought to be made Governor of
Virginia.
Considering Col. Cameron 8 manner
of life only few years ago. which is
well known to the people Of Peters
burg, it was risking great deal to NOM
mate him, for no man of infirm pur-
pose-one who is not the master of his

SHENANDOAH AND WESTERN MA
RYLAND RAILROAD.-The Shenandoah
road, which 10 now IN operation from
Hagerstown, Nd, to Waynesboro', Va,
is being extended very rapidly from the
latter point to Big Lick, on the Norfolk
and Western road, near Salem. Be-
tween Waynesboro' and Big Lick, q
distance of less than one hundred miles,
there are now employed-according to
reliable reports, 900 hands In grading
and laying track. This road will open
up rich section of country, hitherto
without railroad facilities. By tapping
the Norfolk and Western road at Big
Lick, SO miles west of Lynchburg, the
Shenandoah road can take large part
of the north>bound trade before it
reaches LynchbuTg, where the Norfolk
and Western and the Virginia Midland
connect. As the Shenandoah road and
Norfolk and Western are working in
harmony, both being owned in Phila-
delphia, it is quite probable that large
part of the southwestern trade, which
has heretofore passed over the Virginia
Midland, will be diverted to the Shen-
andOah. While there Is some danger
of this trade being drawn from Balti-
more and being carried to Philadelphia,
still it is hardly enough to cause any
fear just now. Through the energy of
President Hood the Western Maryland
road has made passenger and freight
traffic arrangement with the Shenan-
doah road, which gives Baltimore mer-
chants an excellent opportunity Of
reaching the entire section drained by
the Shenandoah. Under the able man
agement of Mr.. Hood the Western Ma
ryland road is being developed very
rapidly, and by the connections with
other roads made during the last few
years this road is becoming of great i'm
portance to the trade of Baltimore

~ killed near Big Greek, on Thursday
evening, July 10Th. From what we can
learn Mr.. Huff, with his men, were
working on the track near where he was
killed, when q freight train going west
passed, and the engineer threw a letter
off. which fell on the opposite side OF
the track from Mr.. Huff. AS soon as
the last car of the train had passed him,
Mr.. Huff started to cross the track for
the letter, when he was struck by p0r-
ton of the train that had become de-
tached, and was following the main
train at a rapid rate of speed it being a
down grade. The deceased was q little
deaf, and it is supposed that he did not
hear the approaching train. He was
killed instantly.-Mountnin Herald.

their persistent Misrepresentation of

false. We have heard him express his

that there Is not q firmer believer in, or
