An Internal Machine.

A rather sad affair took place on
one of our streets the other day. \
young lady with her arms full of bun
dies emerged from dry-goods store,
when one of them fell on the sidewalk
without her noticing it. Just behind
her was young man, and a Belfast
young man who is not polite is not
anything, and he quickly stepped for
ward to pick it up. Now a bundle
done up in piece of paper with dry
goods advertisement, apparently is
as harmless as a mothers spanking,
and there it lay as guileless as an an
gle-worm on a side walk after a rain.
Just as he stopped to pick it up, there
was rustllng of the paper, the twist
began TO come out of the ends, and in
another instant bright red thing, a
sort of cross between a balloon and
devil fish, flew into the air before his
eyes, and a number 10, 90 inch,
double-j ointed, duplex, elliptic, steel
bowed, hustle attachment. dolar-and
half red headed hoop skirt, wal,zed
around and eyrated and ened and
shut up and fell on the walk as thin
and fiat as restaurant pie: ard the
young man straitened himseliup, look
ing as if he wished that the tail Of
comet No. would sweep him from
this fair land and the young lady
came back with face that rescmbcd
a sunset on a fitty-ce chrome; and
she picked up the wire continuance
and then she went toward the east and
he went toward the west, and the sun
ducked lis head behind a cloud to hide
smile, and three or four looked on,
laid down and laughed and doubled
themselves up in a manner hat would
have made mess of green apples hang
their heads in shame. = Belfast Journal.

Harry Tucker In Harrisonb burg.

We stated last week that Harry Tuck
er had made a political speech in Har-
risonburg on Thursday night q week
ago, and, without seeing report of its
character stated with confidence that
it was good speech That our conf
dence was we'll founded will appear from
the following notice of 1t by the Old
Commonwealth
1.-THE best speech we have heard DUR
ing the campaign of this year was de-
livered before the young mems Demo
cratic Club. in the Court house in this
place. on Thursday night last, by II.
st. George Tucker, of Staunton. We
do not intend to attempt even a synop-
sis of the speech. 1t was q com pact and
solid argument, and just such speech
as always accomplishes good. To us it
was surprise that one of Mr., Tuck er's
years should be able to make such q
mastery effort. Should this young
gentleman live and continue to inn
prove in power and style of speech for
few years, we believe that very few
public speakers will care to tackle him
on the stump. His speech ELECTED
warm and generous applause, and the
hearty hand. shaking and congratula-
ton after its close, by many who press.
ed forward for introduction, indicated
very clearly that it had been effective.
In fact we know of several gentlemen,
who had all along declared their pur.
pose not to vote at all, who avowed not
only their determination to vote but to
work for Democratic success until the
evening of election day. Mr.. Tucker
is "a chip Of the old block and in a
very few years will become leading
Virginia stlmper, if he turns his atten-
ton that way.
Mr.. Tucker spoke for about two
hours, and was frequently met by the
demand from his audience to go on, go
on He reviewed the political situa-
ton ia Virginia and dealt staggering
blows to Malone bOssism. He gave 3
brief but very clear and lucid review of
the tariff question. and some Of his SAL
lies were so appropriate and yet anus
ing as to extOrt q relaxation of the facial
distortion of some of the MahOneites
present There was no bluster, no cant,
no vulgarity, no immodest anecdotes,
but q brilliant, well-timed speech. de-
livered in connected and pleasant way
that delighted the Democrats and yet
left no room for cavil or complaint from
the opposition. We hope to hear Mr..
Tucker again before the close of the
campaign, and he is one of our public
speakers who should be kept In the
field ss much as possible, for he can &C
complish great good"

REMARKS BY MAI. JOHN W. DANIEL.
I accept the statement of Capt. John
s. Wise as to the intended purport of his
remarks, in reference to me, made in his
recent speech at Staunton.
The information given me by gentle
men of the highe=t sense of honor, and
of equal Intelligence and reliability, who
heard them, leaves no doubt upon my
mind that they were susceptible of the
Interpretation which they placed upon
them; and that they made upon Capt.
Wise's hearers the impression which
the information derived from those gen.
tlemen conveys.
1 can well understand that in the heat
of extemporaneous discussion, senti-
ments and expressions may fall from
the speakers lips, which do not repre-.
sent his real meaning, or meet his de-
liberate sanction. But I can not con-
ceive how my personal liabilities for any
one can, by any possibility, become the
legitimate subject of political speech.
Those liabilities have been discharged
by me, as became On honorable man.
The "Commiseioner of Land Sale BilIn
could have had no reference to them no
matter when it might have become q
law. And no such device to take the
business of the people out Oftheir hands,
and place itin the hands OF few greedy,
grasping partizans. who seek to live on
other mems means, could by any posi-
bility have had application to the tram
sactions in which those liabilities were
incurred.
That the gentleman, to whom Capt.
Wise's reference was made, became in.
VOWED In pecuniary troubles is true, but,
in my opinion, without the deliberate
intent to commit wrong.
When those troubles came, he strip
ped himself of home, and his every
possession, real and personal, to meet
them, his wife, with an unselfish nobil-
ity of nature, parting with all her inter
ests in them for the same purpose.
Since then he has been, and is now,
nObly struggling to redeem his error
with an industry and resolution which
command the respect, sympathy and
good will of all right minded men.
The spirit that would make the mis-
fortunes of this family the subject Of
public discussion, to subserve political
ends, needs no Characterization at my
hands. JOHN w. DANIEL.

Death OF Samuel Paul, Treasurer of
l. Augusta County.

This worthy and most highly esteemed gen.
tleman and officer Of Augusta county died at
his residence in Mt. Scion on last Saturday
morning at one O'Clock, after an illness of about
ten days. aged 81 years.
His funeral sermon was preached last Sun
cay morning at Messy Creek church by Rev.
]. w. Rosebro from the 26th chapter of st. Mat
thew, 42pd verse:
HE went away again the second time, and
prayed, saying, o, my Father, If this cup may
not not pass sa away from me. except drink it. thy
The burial took place about three O'Clock,
the following acting as pail bearers, viz; Capt.
]. H. Todd, Hugh Baxter. securities on his off,
cial bond; Col. VIM. L. Bumgardner, G. G.
Gooch, from Staunton Lodge of Masons; Capt.
James Bumgardner, Commonwealth Attor-
ney; w. A. Burnett. Clerk OF the County Court.
and was attended by from four to five hum
dred persons.
In the .decease of Capt. Paul the county loses
an upright. faithful. and conscientious official,
one who had the fullest confidence of the peo-
pie in the management Of thetr affairs as has
been testified by his continuous election to the
office Of Treasurer at their hands; his friends
lose in him one who was ever faithful to the
sacred bonds of friendship, and in whom was
exempllfied all the kindly humanities, which
make q man loved by his friends and admired
and esteemed by all familiar with his charac-
ter; his family loses a loving husband and a
fond father. to whose guidance and kind, low
ing care they have always looked to. and not
in vain.
A noble heart is stilled in the cold embrace
of death, and the world is worse off by the loss
| of noble man, a man in whom there was no
guile.
Samuel Paul was a native of Augusta county
and before the war was merchandising at Mt.
Scion; but when the tocsin of war sounded
| he disposed of his business, and shouldering
his musket went. at the first summons. as q
private, in the Sind Regiment. Shortly before
the battle Of Mcdowell he was elected to q
Lieutenancy of his company, and not long af-
| forwards fell on the field of Port Republic
with shattered right leg, which was after
wards amputated.
He afterwards served in the provost office In
Stanton, then as deputy Sheriff under 81. H.
Peck, and in 1854 he was elected Sheriff of the
county. which position he held for two terms
After the war, in 1870. he was elected Treas
urer Of Augusta county, which Office he con-
tinuously held, at the hands of the people. un
\ til the time Of his death.
