GOODBYE, GIRLS.
A Couple of Dining Room Girls
Conclude to See the Elephant
in Chicago.

"Want an item ?" asked Young man of
a BAzoo reporter, to-day, as he was scud-
ding along Ohio street.
"Now you have struck it abont right, "
said the reporter.
"Well, then, just 60 up to the Jay Gould
hotel and ask what has become of Della
and Lizzie"
With this as a clue the reporter soon
covered the distance between the point at
which the conversation took place and the
hotel, where lac collared Mint. Devereaux
and led him off into corner of the Office,
for the purpose of making him give up all
he knew about the two girls
Of course he objected TO this, but said he
was willing to state that the girls, Della
and Lizzie, tit is unnecessary to give their
full names) had left the hotel, where they
had been employed as waiter girls, but
going, he knew not where.
Anything unusual about girls leaving
. hotel? ?"
"Not as general thing" was the reply.
''but those two quietly sneaked out their
word about their going"
How did they get their trunk out of the
housew
"Can't say, unless they got some one to
take it away. ALI 1 know is. that when l
called there, this morning, there was no
answer, and an inspection Of their room
showed that they had not spent the night
in it."
The porter of the hotel states that he
saw the girls at the depot, this morning !;
that they took the Missouri Pacific for the
east telling him that they were going to
Chicago to see the sights.
1t was reported that certain Ohio
street clerk had stood good for a cloak for
Lizzie, but the reporter found this to be
untrue.
As the girls had but little if any money,
so far as known, it is surmised that some
''friend" has put up for their travelling
expenses.

Press and Dakotian: Next
year will un !oubtedIy witness
heavier immigration to Dsko-
ia than ever before. Colonies
are forming at various points in
the states, with the view of set
tllng III some one of the numer-
Gus new counties, and ID will
not be surprising ii every por-.
ton OF the territory east OF the
Missouri river should become
substantially occupied before the
close of 1888. Already the coun-
ties bordering the Missosri on
the east and lying north of
Hughes h we been invaded by
the pioneer settler, and two rail
road surveys have been extended
through to the Missouri. The
character of the soil aud topox-
raphy are said to be equal to the
best portions ot central Dakota.
and with railroads to encourage
the cultivation of the soil,
climate and an inviting land
scapc everywhere, the prospect
OF opening to settlement the vast
tract Oh the western shore of the
river, will form strong induce
ment to home seekers, creating
markets To the west, aud remov-
ing all apprehensions of trouble
from neighboring Indians.
Should there be no tinaueia! dis
turbance to disturb the plans o.
the railway builders aud check
the Dakota fever which, is now
SO prevalent, next year will wit
ness al unprecedented lnflowing
of people and Uncle Sam's free
acres will be reduced to an un.
important fraction in Dakota:

Washington and Lee University.

We have received from Gen. Robert D.
Lilley, the Financial Agent of the Organ
izat1on, handsome pamphlet containing a
full report Of the meetings in Independence
Hall, Philadelphia, in rs and 81, of the
Centennial Organization for the better en-
doWment of Washington & Lee Universe
ty. 1t contains good deal of interesting
facts and among them some which we take
it will be new to most of our readers. The
University was first known in the past
century as ''Augusta Academy" having
had its origin in classical school of that
name established by the early settlers in
the Valley who named it after Augusta
county which was named after a British
princess of that day. 1t was at a meet
ing held when the first news of the battle
of Lexington came that in a spirit of pa
triotism the name was changed to ''Liber
ty Hail. 1t was under this last name
that George Washington made his gift to
it of the hundred shares of James River
& Kanawha Canal stock voted him by the
legislature. The name was then changed
out of compliment to him, to CIV ashing-
ton College, and it was under that title
that the ''SocietY of the CINCINNATI" sur
yiving officers of the Revolutionary war,
voted it $4,000. 1t was not long after
this that John Robinson, ga soldier under
Washington" bequeathed his entire estate
then estimated at $500 to the college.
Sine 1865 the gifts to it have included
10000 from R. FL. Bayley, of New Orleans;
$40, 900 from Cyrus IL. Mccormick, OF
Chicago; $40, GOO from Warren Newcomb,
of New York: $25, 900 from W. W. Corco-
ran, of Washington; and many endow-
nlsnts of less amount.

The Christmas Of Well Known Minister
in Ireland.

In looking over copy of the Belfast,
Ireland, Witness" of December 81, our
eyes lighted OF {; name quite familiar to
the people Of Staunton and Highland, and
popular with all who know the gentleman
who bears it-Rev. Samuel McCune. We
COPY in full as it will interest our Sun
day school pupils to know how Christmas
is kept in Irish Presbyterian Sabbath
Schools Mrs. McCune, it will be remem-
bered, is sister of Rev. Macduff Simpson,
former pastor of the Second Presbyterian
church here
On Thursday, 22nd December, an enter
tainment was provided at the Coffee
Rooms,'' Wexford, for the children and
teachers of the Presbyterian Sabbath
school. Tea and cake were supplied IN
abundance. after which all present gather
ed around handsomely dressed CHRISTMAS
tree laden with toys and fruits. The
Christmas gifts having been distributed
among teachers and scholars, Mr.. Martin,
Treasurer. in an appropriate speech, pre-
scented, on behalf Of the Sabbath-school,
and as mark of their esteem aud affec-
ton, a handsome eigbt-day marble CLOCK,
to the pastor and uperlnIendent-Rsv
Samuel M'Cune-aNd, at the same time,
several pretty and useful articles to Mrs.
M'Cune. Mr.. M'Cune replied in suitable
terms. thanking the Sabbath school for
their valuable gifts to Mrs. M'Cune and
himself, and expressing his pleasant sur
prise at the unlooked-for tokens of regard
and esteem which they had received that
night from the Sabbath-school. He spoke
of their sympathy aud their gifts as
an evidence that any services render
ed by Mrs. M 'Cune and himself in the
Sabbath-school were not unappreciated by
them. He concluded by saying that when
it would be to him constant reminder
that the time was ebbing fast away, and
that each tick of the clock soul was
passing from time to eternity, so that he
might be induced to make better use than
ever of every feeting moment. During
the night the children recited admirably
some juvenile but humorous speeches they
had prepared for the occasion. Several
choice solos, vocal and instrumental, from
Mrs. M'Cune, Mrs. Faris. and other ladies
present, together with few lively speech
es from some of the gentlemen. made the
evening altogether pleasant and agreeable.
After vote of thanks had been proposed
to Mrs. Faris for inaugurating such
pleasant evening, and taking such an in
terest in everything that concerned the
good of the church and Sabbath-schoOl,
Mr.. NJ 'Cune brought the meeting to close
by kindly reference to Mrs. Dean Nor
gan, who SO gladly used her influence to
get the use of the rooms for the entertain
ment, free of charge.
