1t Is announced that the French Government

has been the demand for 1t on the part Of the

the easily acquired gains Of the Lottery.

DEATH OF A SrAUNToN Boy ON THE RAIL
RoAD.-We are sorry to state that Frank, a lit
tie nine-year-old STEP Of Prof. De Valley OF
this city, teacher Of music In the Virginia Fee
male Institute, was killed on last Thursday in
Roanoke county by being run over by the cars
At the time, he was living with Mr.. Samuel
Msttox, near Big Spring. Montgomery county.
He was sprightly boy. but had an unaccount-
able propensity to run on, as he did frequently
without any assignabie cause. We learn from
the Lynchburg Virgt'sidn that he was run over
by the western-bound mail train, No. 8, Of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad. His left leg
was cut off and several bruises inflicted, from
which he died in a short time. We are in
formed that no blame can be attached to Con-
ductor Childress, who promptly stopped the
train and brought the boy back to Big Spring,
where he received the most careful attention
until death came to his relief. -,

FIRE IN THE BASEMENT OF A DRUG. STORE.
On Monday yesterday about o'clock In the
morning, the alarm of fire was sounded, when
1t was found that fire was raging in the base
ment of the Drugstore of Geo. W. May 4 70.
The members of the Fire companies responded
promptly to the signal Of alarm, particularly
the New Town Fire company. They soon ex-
tinguished the fire, though 1t was momentarily
expected that an explosion would occur. The
fire was caused by the upsetting of lantern
used by the colored servant, Lyman Irving,
who was. at the time, drawing some Japan
varnish. Just as the measure he was filling
with Japan varnish was about full. the lamp
fell over. and ignited the varnish. which not
only resulted in the explosion of that barrel,
but communicated with other barrels OF oil,
turpentine, &C., which struck such terror to
the servant that he fled, as most any other per-
son would have done.
The destruction caused to the cal Gimme, oil,
&C., and Soda Fount4in Apparatus will amount
to about $500. The stock was insured In the
Phoenix Fire Company Of which Charles L.
Cooke is the agent. The building was saved
by the water works Of the city. Had it not
been for the water works, the building, and
those adjoining. would. in all probability, have
been destroyed. The water tax is high, but it
is a good Investment when the interests of the
city are considered.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. persons seem to
think there can be no such thing as a
choice Of evils in politics, giving up q
preference and t0lerable chance of sue
cess for the certainty Of an unmitigated
evil. We do not propose to discuss
with reference to persons how far this
is the case in the Massey move. but we
suggest that az compared with the
Walker movement the worst Democrat
who acquiesced in the Walker move
could vote for Massey with clear con-
science. Our success in Virginia was
built upon that move, and we have lost
by narrowing the lines of conservatism,
permitting State issues to be brought
into National elections, and giving way
to excitement on State issues
We confess to as much sin in giving
way to prejudice az any other man.
We fought Mr.. Massey as hard as any
other man, and on the debt question we
have been unable to change our opin-
ions, but we can see that we have not
been az wise as we might have been
since 1875, and we are willing to mend
our ways, and we are willing to stand
on a National Democratic platform,
such as Tilden stood on at st Louis, and
Hancock at Cincinnati, and to shake
hands with the Big Four if they will
come and stand on it; and we are will
ing to let the courts take charge of the.
Riddleberger bill, and would not cry if
they took charge of Riddleberger and
"him safely kept" What we want
every man to say is that he is a Demo-
crat, and then the shibboleth that detects
Mahoneism is, will you antagonize and
fight the Arthur administration and
Malone? The woods are full of Re-
adjusters in every county who will do
so, and don't you forget it.-Lynch6vrg
