They Prayed.

Friday night the storm afforded an op-
portunity to two young men, rOOmmates
who are Familiarity known as Mat Shields
and Ed. Werlich, to indulge i'm little pi-
Gus act. When the Storm aroused Mat he
sprang out of bed, crooked the supple
hinges OF his knees and began a most pen
itential prayer.
::Oh, Lord | have been the meanest and
worst devil i'm this city, but if You'll spare
me this time, SD help me Moses III re-
form and never associate again with Jim
Gossage and them other fellows. That's
solid. Amen.
The prayer is little mixed, but the
young man was new at the business.
Werlich thought it would be a
good joke to plant his foot on
that part of Shields anatomy he covers
with the rear part of his coat, and so he
planted where it would yield the most re-
turns.
But the storm Increased i'm fury and Ed.
thought it was about time to quit his mon
kew business and make his calling and
election sure also. He dropped ON his
marrow bones and prayed like tempest
tossed mariner. 1t was hip and tuck be-
tween the two frightened young men as 10
which one could prove the most efficacious
at headquarters.
But they forgot to watch as we'll as pray,
and the result was that through an open
window the rain poured in torrents and
fell with perfect freedom in their bed, lit
orally soaking it. They remained up the
rest Of the night. though their prayers
ended with the storm.

Only Two Parties.

AS the Abingdon Standard says, sit

this fall there will be two parties, Dem.
ocratic and Republican. The State issue
that divided us, has been left to the
courts, and what was formerly called
the Readjuster party, has become part
of the Republican. The leaders realiz-
ing that there was no life in the old hob
by, have allied themselves with the
Guiteau wing-the Radical faction OF
the Republican party, and now they
call upon Virginians to support Stall.

the Administration party, and deny
that they have gone into the Republic

Birds of feather. flock together, and
the whole Arthur Malone brood of vul.

Virginia with the single object of spoils.
Virginians, there is-there can be no
middle ground for you in the contest ;
you must come out squareIy and ally
yourselves with the Radicals, or you
must fall into the Democratic ranks
You all know it was the debt question
that divided us, and you are equally as
snre it is not now an issue in politics ;
then let State issues be forgotten. If
you were Readjuster. and yet DEM

all such the Democratic party opens her

THE PLANETS IN JULY.-In this
month, the only one this year, there are
two full moons-one on the 1st, and the
other on the Both.
The four morning stars-Nep. une,
Saturn, Jupiter and Mercury-wiil sing
together as they move in rhythmical
harmony around the central source of
life and light. The three evening stars
Venus, Mars and Uranus-hanginp
close together. will fulfill their course.
the peerless Venus reigning supreme
over her brother planets and the grand
coneourse of attendant stars. The new
er failing variety that characterizes the
study of astronomy finds simple illustra-
ton in three suggestive topics that de-
mand the close attention of the student
of the stars. The coming transit of
Venus ranks first in importance, as the
busy notes of preparation are re. echoed
from every part of the civilized world,
and the enthusiasm increases as the
grand event draws near. The Marian
markings, and the more recent observa.
tions of the duplication of the 80 called
canals by progressive lines, as seen by
the keen-eyed Schiaparelli under the
serene sky of Milan. form a theme for
study of fabulous interest. In the third
place, the moon comes in for her share
in the novel celestial problems that are
the delight of the scientific mind. In
dicat1ons OF an atmosphere, observed by
the French astronomers, and q misty,
feathery cloud floating over one of her
huge craters, revive the interest in her
desolate face, and suggest the possibility
that life may exist in some form in q
world that seems to have played her
part in the material economy of the uni

NDECENCY IN CONGRESS.-The
Washington correspondent of the Rich.
mond State says that the friends of the
President put forward Butterworth, of
Cincinnati, to defend the Administers
ton against the attacks made in the
House by Bayne, the anti, Cameron
member from Pennsylvania. Butter
worth is a man with a glib tongue, easy
conscience, and very foul mouth, and
during his remarks Friday he was guilty
of utterances which for vileness and
indecency surpassed anything ever said
on the floor of the House. IT printed
in book their author would be liable
for prosecution for obscenity. If it had
not been for the presence of ladies in
the galleries some of the respectable
members of the House would have in
sisted that the words be taken down,
and resolution of censure would have
been offered. No more humiliating
spectacle was ever witnessed than the
laughter, clapping of hands, and mani
festations of satisfaction on the part of
the majority of Republicans. President
Arthur cannot with respect tolerate
hereafter such champion in the House
or anywhere else.
