A VIRGINIA GIRL wANDERINo BARE


FOOT OVER A MOUNTAIN.
Lee County (va. sentinel)
| Miss Jennie RhOton, young lady o
Poor Valley, has been subject to violent
attacks of neuralgia, so violent, indeed,
that her mind is sometimes affected fer
a few hours. On Tuesday, about three
hours before sunset, Miss Rh0ton went
down into field near the house to fetch
basketful of kershaws to the house,
| fearing they would freeze before her bro
ther had time to gather them in. After
! the first load was brought she returned
fer another, and while in the field she
was taken suddenly with On attack Of
neuralgia and she started, as she thought
To- return to the house, but instead she
took the wrong direction and wandered
through the fields and woods until night
came on. She was only sufficiently ra-
Iisnal to appreciate her situation and
know that she was lost. This added ter
ror to her illness and rendered her al
most wild. She ascended the mountain
side, and fell upon a rock from exhaus-
ticn, but occasionally Issued wild cries
of despair. These were beard by Mr..
Ishn Stapleton, who lives on the Other
side of the mountain. Mr.. Staple;on
felt sure the cries were those of distress,
and taking light lie aud his son set out
to climb the mountain and ascertain the
cause. Just on the summit of Cumber-
land mountain, two miles nerth of her
home, they found the crazed and half
frozen girl, now unable from cold to
move or call, lying upon fat rock, in
despair and resigned to die. In her half
deliriOus condition she had imagined she
could travel better barefoot, and taking
off her shoes and stockings had wander
ed on the rough mountain side for three
hours and her feet and legs were fearful
ly lacerated by the stones aud briars.
Mr.. Stapleton did not know the girl, ana
she was unable to tell him who she was
or how she came there, but be took her
up and bore her off to his home, where
she was kindly treated. Being sure she
was lost, he set out upon the mountain
the next day, blowing hora to attract
any one WHO might be in search OF her.
At.nSon he was signalled by the girls
friends in the valley below, who hasten

turned to rejoicing at the glad tidings

The Silver Cliff, Colorado, Pros
pect tells slof curious discovery as
follows Two prospectors arrived
Yesterday from Hayden creek, and
report some strange discoveries
made in. some of the abandoned
mines, supposed to have been owned
by the Aztecs.. They found numer-
GUS petrifcations, the trees standing
in every shape in the rock. One of
the most singular ones is a tree cut
off by drift from a tunnel, which
is. or was, about thirty inches in di-
ameter. It stands perpendicular in
the rock, and has a hollow place
where the heart of the tree was To-
Gated, about three or, four inches in
diameter, in which the light Of a
candle reveals the grain of the wood.
1t is a hard, sandy formation, slight
| ly red in color, and totally unlike
any specimen Of petrified timber we
have ever seen. The specimen
showed us was of very fine texture.
The round shape, the hollow heart
and the bark are, however, eonelu-
sive evidence that at one time it was
a tree. Another curious thing in

was found is a rock or crevicein tht

THE TEMPLE OF BELUs
was at the base perfectly square, one
fourth of a mile each way and six
hundred feet high. Tt was construct
ed in terraces ten feet wide reaching
round the temple ascending, upon
the principle of an incline plain from
the bottom to the top, making eight
complete circuits ascending, seventy
five feet each circuit. The inside of
this enormous temple was divided
off into eight stories, each story be-
ing seventy-five feet in height. In
the upper story were many images
and vessels dedicated to the idola-
trous worship of Bel, the god of the
Babylonians. There was one image
of Nebuchadnezzer forty feet high,
made of pure gold. Also all of the
golden vessels taken from the Tenn
pie at Jerusalem, were deposited
here. 1t is estimated that the value
of the images, vessels, &c, within
this temple amounted to about forty
two millions of dollars of our money.
The top of the temple was used by
the astronomers for. an astronomical |
observatory, where, at the time the |

STORIES FROM THE WEST.
Incidents of Wild Life-An In.
lOXicated GrizzIy-A Snow
Slide. .. r.

On Monday two weeks ago four
men left Georgetown, Col, for Ty-
ner, in the North Park. They tray
eled over the snow without mishap
until Wednesday morning, which
found them climbing up a very steep
and rugged mountain a few miles
from Tyner. The snow covering on
the mountain was about six feet
thick. As the men were toiling up
the height the great carpet of snow
suddenly began to move down. The
slide was comparatively slow at first,
but within thirty seconds it had be-
came laundering avalanche, and
the four men were hurled at light
ming speed to the foot Of the noun
tain James Nelson, one of the par
ty, fastened his boots into an icy
crust, and clinging with all his
strength was not hurt seriously,
though his body was bruised and
his flesh torn in various places.
When the slide stopped he was with
in a few inches of the surface of the
mass and was able to thrust his
arm through to the surface, thus Sc
curing air. Ten minutes later Viii
liam Sandels, who had escaped un-
hurt, dug Nelson out and they to-
gether searched for their compan-
IONS They found Charles Eaton
several feet beneath the snow and
not far off was Thomas Gray, both
black in the face from suffocation
and both dead Searching further
they found John Fraser, who had
been buried twenty feet He was
purple in the face and blood flowed
ftom his mouth, but he soon regain
ed consciousness. His left leg was
broken in two places.

FHE ANCIENT AElWONDERFUL CITT
ITS FOUNDER.

When or by whom it was founded
is not certainly known. In the days
of Nebuchadnezzer it had already
become an ancient city, and had a
world renowned fame for its magni-
tude, learning and fame, but it was
not until the latter years of this
monarch that it assumed those mag
nifcent proportions and gradeur that
made it one of the wonders of the
world.

A haf-dozen prospectors canped
one night recently in the Sierra Ne
vada, El Dorado county, California.
The ground was covered with snow,
and when about midnight a grizzly
bear approached the crunching of
his feet aroused the whole camp.
The bear trotted boldly up to with
in few feet of the fire and seized
the nearest thing that could be
reached-a bag containing a few
such articles as bread and sugar and
a demijohn of the hottest whisky
manufactured on the Pacific coast.
The prospectors fired several shots
at the grizzly, which caused him to
seize the bag in his teeth and scam
per off. Relieved of the unwelcome
visitors presence the party dropped
off to sleep again, to be aroused
about dawn by loud and long roars
in a neighboring ravine. The men
approached the ravine cautiously
and were delighted to see the griz-
zly uproariously drunk and rolling
in the snow. The bear had broken
the demijohn and Tapped up the
whisky with an appreciative tongue.
His antics were very funny-''as
good as a circus" one of the pros
pectors says-and they were kept
up until long after sunrise. He tried
hard to climb up the side of the ra-
vine and made ferocious dashes at
the men, but every time he rolled
down. AT last the spectators shot
him and moved on.

started up Grizzly Gulch few
nights ago, thinking that his expert

him to get through in safety. His

Too MUCH credit cannot be given 70
the colored members of the last Leg
islature Of this State. who supported
Gen. Malone fer the U. 8. Senate.
These men, BY their Independents
action in this case have greatly benz
cited the Republican party Of the
Union. In spite Of all the influences
brought to bear upon them toinduce
them to vote for General Wickham,
they supported man who casts his
votes with the Republican Senators
Just as General Vickham would have
done, ard besides, General Malone
has by his course in the Senate made
more confusion and done more darn
age to the Democratic party OF the
country, and especially of this State
than any other man the colored leg
islators could have voted for And
they ought to have the credit Of
having given the Republicans .ths

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS.


Heretofore we have been i'll the
habit of sending printed notices
addressed to each individual sub
scrlber informing him or her that his
or her subscription had expired and
soliciting continuance OF the same.
The recent ruling of the Postal De
partment making these notices first
class matter and charging for them
at the rate of letter postage make it
too expensive to continue this course.
We shall hereafter adopt the plan OF
drawing blue cross-mark over a
paragraph which viii be kept stand
ing at the head of our editorial col
umns referring to the expiration OF
subs criptions. And when our sub.
scribers see this blue cross.mark on
their paper, they will know that
their time is OUT and it they want
the paper continued will forward the
money for the same.
The Virginia star., 1881-04-30
DIR HA6rE BANKEr.

We have in this office, as all well
regulated newspaper Offices have, a
capacious waste basket. And a very
large number of communications find
their way into it. We have again
and again published the fact that we
charge money and expect pay for
death and marriage notices which
exceed four lines. Four lines of scuh
notices we publish free. All over
that number we charge at the rate
of FIVE cents line. Now if people
will not heed these notices but will
continue to put themselves to the
expense and trouble of sending us
long articles on these subjects with
out sending. the money also to pay
for them, they must blame them
selves and not us if they go into the
waste basket.
Then there are others who send
us long winded articles on every OF
subject. We have frequently given
notice that we do not want long arti.
cles on any subject Some people
subscribe to the paper, pay $1.s0
per year for it and then send MS sew
eral articles which cost from $5 to
$40 to publish, and are hurt in the
feelings if we do not publish them.
Some others send long and heavy
communications on which they pay
one half the postage, taking advan-
tage of this privilege allowed by the
postal authorities, and expect us to
pay the other half on delivery. This
is little meanness, and we do not pay
the other half but let them remain
in the post Office.
Personal articles, that is, those
which will only be of interest to the
writer and few of his friends, we
do not want. And whether long or
short we will not publish them unless
they are paid for at the rate of five
cents a line.
Others still, who are not subscribers
send us communications which they
would never know whether we pub
lished or not unless they borrowed
somebody else's paper to find out.
Short communications which will
be of general interest we solicit and
will gladly publish. A communica-
tion of one or even OF a half q page
will most always find preference over
one Of greater length. What the
general reader wants is variety OF
matter. Very few if any want to read
an essay in newspaper.
Remember that communications
telling OF future events are ADDER
tisenasnts pure and simple and we
will not insert them unless they are
paid for. Those telling of past
events are aesos and we publish them
free when they are not of an object
tlonable character. Some of our
subscribers even think that we ought
