For tho Nows.
VIRGINIA IN 1881.
ny u. G. HORNE.

Mother of States, (tho appellatlon Just, }
Not reared to sink beneath tyrrnnic dust
Nor to endure guilty traitors smile,
Nor be dccciv'd with an opprossor's guile
Nor, yet, before npOslatG rulers bow,
Whose sordid actions stigmatlze the brow
of sovereignty, name most 10 honor dcnr,
And DER Va. spread disgust aud fear.
Virginia name too high TO be disgrac'd ;
Her prsnclples too pure to he dcbased,
By inslgnillcnnce OF extra deeds,
or those who advocate obnoxious crccds ;
Who IN Discrimination guisc, assume
The nnhc aud style, and occupy the
room, ,
External, Of Nlrglnlas faithful sous,
While from their hearts deceit inccssant
runs.
Molillc principles IN them are far
Scqucslcrcd from the bright unsulllcd
star
or pcllludc, amid whose luster pure,
Virginia 'sCornrr-stOnes were laid secure ;
Wherein her structural works were built
aud proved,
Nor hence by lnlslty can be removed.
Yet, TO this end, their vicious plans nre
wrought;
Aud won ID virginh's rights dissolve to
nOught.
10! they stand not where first the he
r0Os stood;
Work for their own, but not vlrglnIa's
good.
And hence, are they not all Virginia who
Are OF NlrglnnY which more plain IL true
From this that In proportion to their
force,
Aud unto progress In their wontrd course.
DO sons Of freedom injury sustain,
And see their treasures aud their sub.
stance drain.
o hcinous course of public turptudc.
Nay, horrible, IN aclipc Of freedom vicw'd
VIII Justice thus endure the wilus OF
fraud,
Until cloud Of mourning, dense aud
broad,
he gaIliercdo'cr Vlrginla's golden breast,
To lnrkcn liberty from Gust to wcetS
Shall poverty assume the place Of wealth,
Aud pcstlcnrr Invade the land Of healthy
q yo who occupy the patriots ground,
We who rejoice when Freedoms anthems
sound;
stand flrmi let condor play upon your
brow,
Nor hence 10 spoil the misor's hand allow.
It's not for YOU, but yours, disguised
tley strive,
Which, when obtilaed, their purpose IA
10 drive,
Through fraud and force, the chariot OF
sinte,
And justice crush aud freedom suhiugatp.

The late lamented Spotted Tail,
Esq, asserted a few days before he
emigrated to the happy hunting
grounds that all bald-headed men
were liars, thieves and several other
things too naughty to print. This
assertion ruftied the usually placid
temper of Bill Nye, and he few to
the defense Of those whose capillary
covering is somewhat infrequent. In
closing his article he says: although
beautiful as a pearl in other ways,
our tresses on top have succumbed
to the %nclemency of the weather, and
our massive brow is slowly creeping
toward the back of our neck. Nature
makes all things even, If mar be
possessed of such ravishing beauty
and such winning ways that bis power
might become dangerous, she makes
him bald-headed.'
Mexico weekly ledger., 1881-09-22

Prof. W. H. Treloar, who has been
the means of so much social enjoy
ment and vocal culture to Marshall
society in getting up the ''Pirates'
here, and who is wlthal a most agree
able and polished gentleman, took
the train Wednesday tor his home in
Mexico, Mo. We part with him
with regret, and hope that he will not
fail to return and get up another am-
ateur performance at some convenient
time in the future. We have some
fine vocal and dramatic talent here,
and We hate to see it hid under a
b~ushel.-Marshall Progress.
We trust Prof. Treloar will, some
Nine this fall, favor Mexico with the
"Pirates.' The Prof. always has a
fnll house in this city. We are in
formed that Mexico is the only city
that charges home talent license, and
this is the reason Prof. Treloar does
not give us the ''Pirates." We do
not think ourselves it is hardly fair to
have the Prof. come here and train a
class and then pay q license for a lit
tie concert given by home talent.

Breeding Idiots.

llHuidiiSpohs ouhdaJ JouihahJ
While building asylums
and supporting hospitals and prisons, is
it wise or just to increase the necessity
for them? Is it not better to look for
ward and prepare for that better time
when, by reason of more enlightened
views and wiser laws, there will be little
or no necessity for any of them? All
argue that persons whose progeny are
reasonably certain to be idiots or luna
tics should not be allowed to marry, and
yet such marriages are taking place
daily, until it is well known that any
fool can find another fool willing to help
him increase the breed and intensity the
stupidity of the race of fools.
The easiest thing anything Bearing the
semblance of man can do is to marry,
and the lowest specimens generally make
it the first; so that constantly our over
charitable States are opposing the law of
the survival Of the fittest.
We coddle rickety imbeciles in ele-
CANT asylums and allow healthy sane
people to work out their own salvation.
We encourage the tainted to breed and
p%erpetuate their diseases of body or
mind in our endeavcr to make the unfit
test survive and p%rocreate. This is not
right, and is as unjust to men as it
wonld be to hogs.
Until some steps are taken by law to
right the wrong, we are actually trying
to encourage the breeding of idiots at
the expense of the level headed. Left
alone, the unfortunate heritors of de-
fective minds and bodies would be elm
mated by natural law. 1t is noble to
care for them, but awful to breed them.
The law is always far in the rear of
scientific thought. It eve m stumb-
ling after, some generations behind. 1t
is now certainly high time that in this
most grave and important matter it
should take one step forward.
