ELECTS A DEMOCRATIC GlVERH0R!
California

In London, and indeed in all Of Great
Britain, all persons, or teams, or trains keep
to the left. 1t puzzles an American for
some days when his heart moves him on
the stairway or sidewalk to turn to the
right to pass some other human being
that person does not reveal any such in
stinct. He or she turns to the left, and
has never perhaps imagined the exist
ence of u nation where are such words
as keep to the right" Some wise men
affirm that the English method is the
better as to the drivers of wheeled vehic-
les, for by turning to the left he can see
where his wheel is passing. Be this as it
may. one learns in few days to turn to
the left, and on returning to America he
must spend a few days in learning to pass
to the right.

does not m axe himself acquainted with
the general topics of the day, does not
know whether he is a Presbyterian or
a Methodist, Republican or Demo
crat. is to he censured rather than
pitied, because in these days OF cheap
literature, and the world is full of it,
a man need not go to the expense OF
travelling, he can stay right at his own
ireside and make himself fully ac-
quainted with everything that is going
on in the world, and thus become a
good Judge of the principles and char
acters which are best calculated to adj
vance the interests of every country
and better the condition of every indi'
vidual. 1t may be we'll perhaps, to
state right here for the benefit Of those
who may not be acquainted of the fact,
that Saur makes speciality of keeping
constantly on hand all the best and
choicest literature of the day at his
large drug and book store, and any
book, paper or magazine published
anywhere in the world will be fur
.nished on the shortest possible notice,
in any language desired. And we will
say further that you will not only find
Saur's drugs and medicines is always
complete, and will compare favorably
in quantity, variety, price and quality
with that of any other drug house any
where east OF west, north or south. 1t
has become byword, and deservedly
too, that when you fail to find any spe-
cial or particular kind of medicine
everywhere else, that by going to
Saur's drug and book store you will be
sure to find it.
In,the line of holiday goods, Saur
is always up with the times and has
everything that is beautiful as well as
useful at prices which are within the
reach Of every one. In fact low prices
on all kinds Of goods sold at this house
have ever been the mottos which have
given this house q reputation which is
not excelled and which every one is
proud to speak of. Saur has always
recognized this fact in all his dealings,
that honest square dealing, represent
ing your goods none other than that
which they are, is the only true road
to success, and he who prospers by any
other'is sooner or later, either in this
world or the next, bound to retrace
his steps, make right what he has
made wrong, or else forever suffer the
penalty which attaches to all that is
bad.

Gov. Hendricks Illness.

Ex-Governor Hendricks trouble il
senile gangrene in the third and fourth
toes of the left foot. 1t has it's origin ia
slight paralytic stroke suffered about
six months ago. He is attended BY Drs
Parvin, Thompson and Lockridge. The
case was first diagnosed as erysipelas, but
it is now known to be gangrene. He has
suffered considerable pain. The fact
that Mr.. Hendricks father. grandfather
and only child died of gangrene is a
source of uneasiness, and the general
impression is that Mr.. Hendricks is
doomed to speedy death. His health
has not been of the best for the past two
years, and in the last three months his
face has presented an ashy appearance.
He was advised by his physicians in the
campaign two years ago not TO speak
more than three times week, and the
same advice was given him at the open
ing Of the present campaign. The pres.
ent effort OF his physicians is to counter
act the present pyamic condition OF the

VICTORIA FURNAcE.-We are glad to note,
says the Lexington Gazette, the continued
progress Of the Iron and Steel Association of
Virginia in their great work at Goshen. The
Company has already expended large sum
of money in improving its property, and they
are willing to invest all the capital necessary
to make their venture perfect success. They
have completed a number of houses for their
workmen. of whom they expect TO have fifteen
hundred employed. They are still building
houses. The stack OF their furnace Ia two hun
dred and fifteen feet high, and is quite con
cpicuous object In that region of country. For
facilitating the transportation of their crude
ore the company have built railroad eleven
miles long, connecting with the Chesapeake
& Ohio at Goshen. Their ore beds are located
about two or three miles from the Rockbridpe
Alum Springs. The building of tho pQmpa.
ny's railroad much facilitates the pleasant
progress Of parties seeking the mountain re-
treats in their immediate vicinity, the differ.
ence in transportation being between the
rough joting of the old-time stage and the
easy riding OF the modern car The Victoria
Furnace Company will work several hundred
experienced English and Welsh miners
brought thither from England, and, will thus
benefit the Old Dominion directly by adding
to heravailable contingent of brain and Draw
