A striking Illustration of the large possible
tiles open to young men in this country is
given in the case Of Mr. Porter, who was Gen.
Walkers first assistant in the preparation OF
the census Statistics; andEis new Is member OF
the tariff commission. Mr. Porter is an En-
glishmnn by birth, and camr to this country
in1S69, when but fifteen years of age. He
commenced life in this country as II farm hand
in the West, working for thirty cents a day.
| Whilst. thus engaged ne wrote some articles
for a weekly paper in Illinois, which secured
HIM employment on the paper at "a per week.
Once in this field he became verv much inter
ested in the growth of certain Western cities,
concerning which he wrote letters to the Chi
cago Inter-Ocean. He speedily saw that
there were great aud essential reasons
underlying the details of urban growth in
America, and many dangerous tendencies.
The difficulty in interpreting the meaning OF
all this enormous expansion was that there
were no reliable data, and no system under
which they could be gathered. Fascinated at
once with the mystery and the meaning OF the
subject, ne determined to devote his life to de-
vising some scheme by which its surface could
be defined and its undcrcurrents made plain.
In the meantime he had been called TO an edi-
torial desk IN the lnterOcean office and at
tracted general attention. The rest Is public
history. Last year, Mr. Porter visited En-
gland, and while in London was the honored
guest of the Political Economy Club, the old
est and most exclusive club in England, Mr.
Gladstone being one Of its thirty-tive mem
bers. Mr.. Porter is now only IS years OF
age.-Bdlt0. Sun. . Lift

q Sad History.

Annie Surratt, the poor girl who suffered So
| terribly as TO mako,i er old while yet young i'll
years, lives near her brother John. She is
the wife Of Prof. Tonry, who is now the lead
ing chemist of Baltimore. After her mother
had been han ged and her own mental facul-
ties were shattered by the agonies she had
undergone, the innocent girl was ostracised
and prosecuted to I'm extent that is a disgrace
to our so-called Christian civilization. Years
after, when Mr.. Tonry-fhen Government
| clerk-dared to marry her, he was dismissed
from office for the offense. For o time they
were. very poor, but being turned out Of the
Government grind proved to be the making of
him after all They arc now prosperous
enough in a worldly point of view, but the
once blithe and beautiful Annie is a wreck,
both mentally and physically, with hair as
white rs the driven snow, though but little
more than thirty years of age. She never re-
covered from the shock of that awful day the
last of her mothers's life and is subject to
fits of extreme nervousness, bordering upon

Exploded.

The Bourbon press are industriousN circu-
latng a statement that 100 members of the colo
Baptist church met at Lynchburg last week
to consider the political situation and that il
was unanimously declared to support Rev J
M Dawson for Congressman at large. Many
believed this statement, and we heard seyera
prominent men mention it as a sure sign Of
the disntegration of the Liberal forces. The
fact is there is not word of truth in 1t, except
that religious body did meet there. While
the primary business was church work, so far
as there was any expression of political
didacyssof Mr.. Dawson. The following card
taken from the Richmond Wing, in reference
to the matter, explains itself:
Editor Wing: My attention has been called
to an item in the local columns Of the State
which states that there WIS :" n meeting of the
preachers and elders of the colored Baptsts
in Virginia held at Lynchburg Monday night,
at which one hundred were present 1t was
held in the interest of Dawson, the colOred
Republican candidate for Congressman at
large, and resolution endorsing him and rec
ommending him to the colored voters of the
State was,unanimously adopted.
desire to state that no such meeting was
held that the religious convention which was
held began its session Thursday, August Gath,
at 8 A. NJ, and adjourned Sunday evening at
about $50 p. M. During its entire sitting no
| resolution of the character named was offered,
nor was Dawson's name mentioned except in
words of condemnation for his political course.
I take occasion to state that | interviewed a
| large number of the delegates concerning the
candidacy of Mr. Dawson, and they all spoke
in the strongest language of condemnation OF
his course and they further assured me that
| he has no followers in their sections of the
State, but all are ready to march at the bugle-
blast to the support of the Hon. John s. Wise.

September Bee Notes.

August and September are the best months
for introducing young queens, as the stock
viii ear much larger quantity of brood than
they would have done had the old queen re-
NAMED. Avoid inducing bees to rob. In all
operations avoid exposing honey, and see that
the. hives are properly closed and entrances
partially contracted. Ii forage is very scarce
the bees will improve every opportunity to
rob. Under such circumstances it will be best
to operate morning and evening, when few if
any bees are flying. At such times smoke
must be used more freely for subduing the
bees. Each hive should be weighed and, If
movable combs are used, combs from the
heavier sWarms should be exchanged with the
lighter ones If after this any hives are found
to be too light the bees should be fed. They
should have at least twenty-five pounds of
stores when put into winter quarters. If, as is
usually the case with most bee keepers, partly
flied boxes are taken from the hive as the
season draws to d close, the Gaping 'of such
combs rs arc partially sealed may be broken,
and this boxes put upon the hives when feed
ing lis needed. The'bees will remove the honey
to the body OF the hive, when the boxes con-
tain&ng these dry combs may be packed away
Sor Another seasons use. Care should be taken
TO keep all upward ventilation In hives closed.
All holes in the top OF the box hives should
be well closed, and when mats or quilts are
used al the top of movable comb hives they
should he kept snugly IN place This will
tend to keep, the hive warm and help to con-
tinue breeding, which is especially desirable
at .4is Season.

EEM DRIES.
BY FATHER RYAN.


They come as the breeze comes over the foam,
Waking the waves that are sinking to sleep,
The fairest of memories from away home,
The dim dream OF faces beyond the dark deep
They come as tho stars come out Of the sky,
That simmer wherever the shadows may sweep,
And their steps as soft as the sound of a sigh
And welcome them aitwhile YEARLY weep.
They come as a song comes out of the past;

dead;
whose tones spirit thrilling live on to the last
