accrue from it. Efforts have been on

scarcely possible any more signatures
can be obtained in other cities than
in Washington. The reports that

to become raving mad before the day
of execution, are untrue. Undoubt-

ADDRESS BY 81. ST. GEO. TUCKER, ESQ.-We
noticed the fact some time since that, at the
late commencement exercises of the Hollins
cieties of that Institution was delivered by our
popular citizen, II. st. Geo. Tucker, Esq. Since
then we have received a copy of The Album, an
able and neatly printed paper, published by
the pupils of that Institution, in which we
find the following very complimentary notice
of the address delivered before the Literary
Societies by II. st. Geo. Tucker, Esq., which we
publish that our readers may have some idea
of the impression made by his addres IS on that
interesting occasion:
1.-THE Address to the Literary Societies was
then delivered by Mr.. H. St. Geo. Tucker, of
StauntOn, Va. When he descended from the
platform one young lady held up a pair of tat
tered gloves and told him, mournfully, that
that was her tribute to his oratorical effort.
And many were the torn gloves and bistered
hands: the result Of energetic applause, that
could be held up for1 inspection. But the shreds
Of gloves were thrown aside without a regret,
and the suffering hands endured without a MUIR
muir, for our address was one that can never be
be among the listeners. Our only regret is that
the address was not in writing, SO that we
might present it to our friends who could not
be present. The theme was Oscar Wilde and
heartily denounced his theory he just as hear
lilly upheld. ami he told us, with all the faith
and earnestness of a man who lives up to what
he advocates, why The beautiful should be Gull
tlVated in eVerything-dreSS. manners ideas,
and, above all, the human heart To the truth
and earnestnesS, as well as the spicy wit con-
tanned in his words, was added the charm of a
pleasing delivery, and our chapel walls never
echoed with q more splendid address than that
which held us all, almost spell bOund, on that
never-to- be-forgOtten night"

Hon. B. 81. SMITH OF CHARLESTON. KA-
NAwHA COUNTY. w. Vain speaking of this
aged gentleman, the Rockingham Register says
that he was born in the Stone House, two miles
South of Harrisonburg. in October 1897. and is
therefore in the S5th year of his age When a
boy of thirteen be took his sick mother to
Rawley Springs, and going in a wagon, had to
cut road from Dry River to the Springs. Ar
irving at the Springs the family camped in
their wagon during their stay at Rawley. He
was, therefore. literally and emphatically the
pioneer to Rawley. Mr.. Smith subseque ntly
| studied law and located at Charleston. Since
his residence in that place he has filled many
places of trust and responsibility, amongst
them that of District Attorney for the United
States Court for the Western District of Vir-
ginia.
Mr.. Smith, although verging on IS years of
age, is active and bears the impress of good
health. We hope he may live many more
years.
