TTeatnlel,t d Women,

From the fall Of the Roman empire in
the West to the fourteenth or fifteenth
century, women spent most Of their time
alone, almost entirely strangers to tho
joys of social life; they seldom went
abroad but TO be spectatorsfof such pub
lic diversions and amusements as the
fashions Of the times conntenanced
Francis I was the first who introduced
women on public days to court; but be-
fore his time nothing was b be seen IN
any Of the courts of Europe but gray
bearded politicians, plotting the destruc-
tion OF the rights and liberties Of man
kind, and warriors clad in complete
armory all ready to put their PITTS into
execution. In the thirteenth and four
teenth centuries elegance had scarcely
any existence, and even cleanliness was
hardly considered as laddable. The
use of linen was not known, and the
most delicate Of the fair sex wore wooden
underclothing. In Paris they had meat
only three times aweek !; and $40 was q
large portion for young lady. The
better sort Of citizens used splinters Of
wood and rags dipped ID oil instead Of
candles, which in those days were lux
ury rarely met with. Wine was only to
sbephad at the shops Of the apothecaries,
where it was sold Aas cordial and 10
ride In two wheeled car along the dirty
streets was reckoned y grandeur SO en-
viable that Philip the Fair prohibited
the wives Of citizens from enjoying it.
In the time Of Henry WILL, Of En-
gland, the peers gof the realm car
ried their wives behind them on
horseback when they went to London,
and in the same manner took them back
to their country seats with hoods Of
waxed linen over their heads, and
wrapped in mantles Of cloth TO secure
them from cold. e

MIR. Lewis.

Day after day there come before our
eyes proofs that the Readjusters are
sick of their mOngrel ticket. A single
one out of the numerous Democratic
journals of Virginia having in a NOM
ent Of forgetfulness intimated that the
Democratic party might put a Repub-
lican upon its ticket, the ReadjuSter
organs have ever since rolled that inti-
nation as q sweet morsel under their
tongues. Quoih one Of them:
''From the above it will be seen that
the Funders are willing to make any
kind of a combination. eren nth Repub'
kcans, to defeat readjustment."
''From the above" is good. The
whole Democratic organization, from
Koiner and Kelley and their committees
down to the humblest Democrat in the
State, denounce or repudiste the pro-
position, yet the Readjuster organ buds
il in its heart to announce that "the
Funders are willing to make any kind
of a combination even with the Repao-
licans TO defeat readiustment," All
the authority 1t can cite is "the above"
The Alexandria Gazette disposes OF Ills
false report as follows:
but the truth is. the Virginia Demo-
Gratis have rarely been more confident
OF success than they are now, and the
idea of such an impossible thing Gs
coalescing with Republicans for any
purpose never enters their minds"
"Never; but the Readjusters, vic
are ashamed OF their candidate ior
Lieutenant-Governor will no doubt
persist in citing 1.-The above" as a
sufficient answer to all that the Fuuders
can say on the subject.-RiehmOnd
Dispatch.

WILL. Che administration support the
MahOneies? This question is frequent
lyasked and no one IS prepared to give
a definite answer. 1t matters little
whether il does or not. The Mahoneite
faction is destined.to defeat. It's de-
sI~nct,o,1 is sure. Should the administra-
ton endeavor toIinspire the dying corpse
with new life, it will be only tempo
raty stimulsnt and the faction will
perish by absorption. They may keep
m their name but The food upon which
the faction lives must be drawn from the
republicans. They will make show OF
strength even while decomposition is
going on. The administration mag
command one element of the republic
can party, the element that are republic
CANS because they get Office from the
republican party, but the element that
are republicans because they believe in
the principles of the republican party
Will not be transferred to Mr.. Malone
& Co. for a consideration. The admin
lsfration isnot strong enough to save
the faction. Dlsgraceful defeat and
political death awaits It.
should the republicans nominate
REGULAR republican ticket, the Mahone'
iteswouid die more natural and speedy
death. They may attract a little at
teation BY their blowing, and the
predictions ofGen. Malone and those
offhe Wing rhy cause an occasional
smile upon the 'tountenances of those
who remember the last fall campaign,
but the fieht will be- general one be-
tween the Democratic and republican
parties.
'Inseither event, we must fight the
republicans. They may use the Ma
hSneites FOR a cover or they may dis
catd the faction and come out for an
open field light. In either event. the
fight will be between Democrats aud
Republicans. The Mahoneltes Of
themselves are not strong enough to
create a diversion from the regular
campaign.

A Virginia Delegation at the
White House.

The delegation of Virginia Republic
cans, with Gen. w. Z. wic&ham at the
head, arrived here to-day, and will pro-
baby remain several days. They are
here for the purpose Ct couferring with
the President relative t0politlcal affairs
IN Virginia. The delegation embraces
A. A Sitter. Benjamin Upton, John
Callahan, j. Ii. Russell, Representa-
tive JorgenseD, Mr.. Tansel, j. B.
Work, j. W. PoiudeXter, 2. Z. Collins,
VIM. Arnold, wm. Lester. Louis
Bib, Mr.. Bennett, Mr.. Lloyd, aud
Mr.. Daniels. Representative Dezen-
dorf introduced the delegation to the
President at their interview this after
noon. Mr.. Dezendorf is quoted as
saying Nearly every one OF US is OPP
posed to q coalition with the Malone
men. We would be in favor OF such
coalition could il lie accomplished con-
sistently with Republican prnciplts.
"But that cannot be, said Mr.. Deem
dorf. He further said that straight.
cut Republican convention, to nominate
a full ticket, would certainly be held
after the Democratic convention, which
meets in August next. The President
seemed interested and asked some
questions, but took good care not 10
define his own position very sharply.
He expressed some virtuOus sentiments
in favor of maintaining the public
credit, but on all the really practical
points left himself open to do as he
pleases hereafter. The speech, as
might be expected, was evasive. The
President has talked on every side oil
the question Of forming an alliance With
Malone, but the best posted pOliti-
clans believe that he will ultimately
favor a surrender OF the regular Repub-
lican organization to the purposes OF
the authors Of the Riddleberger bill.
Gen, Wickham will be cheated, aud
Garfield will find after the election that
honesty is the best pOlicy.-Baltmore

Fau0uier Bears off the Palm
for Grazing.

A very large sale OF the finest
cattle ever fattened in tie State Of
Virginia, or indeed in the United
States by one man, was made
few days ago by Mr. Robert
Beverly of this county TO a Balti
more firm for export to Europe.
Three hundred and fifty cattle
all that were led and raised on two
of his brought eighty seven
dollars per head-$3O, 45O. Each
steer of this whole NUMBER averag-
ed 1900 pounds. Mr.. Beverly
has on other farms near 800 yet
unsold; but his "pets,' that do
honor to his county aud Stale, wer e
taken from his Home" and ad-
joining farm. Ills lands are very
fine and his management good;
but most u the land IN t'auquier
with the same management could
be made TO do as well as bis.
Beet is "two cents per pound low
er in England than it was this
date last year; but owing to the
superiority and fairness of these
cattle they commanded the price
above named. Mr.. B. was the
pioneer of this section in the
European cattle market, and we
are gratifed that the pains he has
been at to compete with grazers Of
the mother country has been
crowned with success. His cattle
will convey to Europeans better
idea of the capabilities of cur State
than columns of descriptive writ

NEW YORK, June l9.-Thomas F.
Ryan, banker Of this city, about six
weeks ago bought handsome sorrel
gelding. He seemed gentle, yet quite
spirited. Yesterday the animal was
removed from one stable to another,
and in The absence Of the groom en-
ployed by Mr.. Ryan, Richard Johnson,
colored groom, went into bis stall.
A few moments later the other grooms
heard a cry for help, and found John
son lying on the floor with lis skull
crushed in by the horses hOofs. He
died soon after. This morning Murray
went to feed the horse, and was kicked
over and trampled on by the vicious
animal, and when dragged away by the
other grooms 1t was. found that bis
skull was fractured. He will probably
die.

From he Chicago Times, independently
John z Lewis and the Capt'
tatiGn Tax.

Considered from a moral stand
point the argument Of Mr.. John f..
Lewis Candidate for Lieutenant
Governor OF Virginia. for repeal
OF tie Virginia capitation-tax is
simply abominabIc. 1t is that the
repeal would add to that gentle
mans party the effective force OF
"from forty TO fifty thousand col
ored votes" The votes are not
disfranchised by the capitation-tax,
which applies alike to all electors
in Virginia. every color and shade.
They are not distrancised at all
They are lawful voters, who are
only disabled from delivering their
votes by their own refusal, neglect,
or failure 10 pay small contrlOH-
ton to the support Of the govern
ment inwhich they wish to partic.
ipate. It needs no change OF any
law to give them such participa =
ton. 1t needs only that they
should make a small contribution
to the support OF government. in
stead OF look ing to government as
paupers for supp ort. Whether
there be forty thousand or forty
millions OF electors in Virginia who
are non-contributors to the support
of government, there is no moral
Or equitable ground on which they
can claim any right 10 participate
in actual government, nor on which
they should be suffered to do so.

Democracy OF gIepublicanisIn

Parson John b. Massey and
Capt. John S. Wise, in very bold
and defiant manner, during the
Readjuster Convention at Richmond
said they desired to serve notice
upon the Hills, Browns, Becks
and all othcrBrown creatures" that
they would meet the above-named
gentlemen if they entered the con
test in Virginia this fall. Why is
this? Why do they show 50 much
animosity toward these distinguish
ed Observation-Disclosures? Be-
cause they had the manliness to de-
fend Virginia IN the United States
Senate. They denounced Mahone's
actions in the Senate, because they
knew the old Mother State was
Democratic TO the core, and was
entitled tc a Senator Of that stamp.
All true Nirginians and all Demo-
Gratis, especially those who pattern
after Jefferson" should honor
these gentlemen for coming to our
rescue,
The great Georgia Senator is a
powerful debater. and we we'll know
it was hard for the Virginia Sena-
tor and the nominee of tie Re
publican caucus to receive such
blows as Ben Hill gave them, but
in our humble opinion both of them
deserved what Hill said. Why,
Riddleberger was one Of the Demo

he is the nominee Of the Republi-
can caucus for Sergeant alarms Of

that he is a Republican Of the first

Democrats in tie State Of Virginia
who support John f. Lewis, the
nominee for Lie1tenani-Goyernor,
must know that to day he is a Re
