sketch OF His Long Career and tnusuai
business Habits.
From present indications Mr.. Stephens
gives promise Of living many years, and
some of his most intimate friends believe
that he will reconsider his purpose to retire
from public life. 1t is mistaken idea
that Mr.. Stephens is rich because he lives
well and entertains handsomely. He al
ways did live well, and from the time he
first went into public life has kept open
house. His comfortable but old.fashioned
house at Charlottesville is, and always has
been, a rendezvous Tor politicians, lawyers,
farmers and strangers who chance to visit
that village. II is known as Liberty
Hall, for it is like unto an inn
whose host dispenses bounteous hospital

Stephens has virtually turned his planta-

quite fond Of their old master, are not over

Though this is not yet renumeratlve 1t is
a successful invention and one of great
value when properly developed in the
markets of the world. Two Of these en-
gines have been built in this city as test
models three horse power and the
other a twenty horse power and both are
satisfactory. This kind of steam engine
has long been in demand and though as
many as fifteen hundred patents have been
granted in the United States, all have sig
nally failed, and it is a matter OF congrat-
ulation both to Mr.. Dudley and the COM
munity in which he lives, that he should
have attained success, and the manufac-
ture of it ought to be carried on where it
was invented. Many valuable inventions
have been made in the South and because
facilities for manufacture could not be
had there, they have been transferred to the
North and the North has reaped the bene-
fits. This ought not to be. We must
learn to manage our own affairs and to
manufacture our own inventions and con-
vert our own raw materials into market
able products. The tide now runs high
and is flowing southwark. Our duty, as
regards our private and public interests
demands, that we awake from the lethar-
Ky Of fogyism and lay hold of opportuni-
ties as they are being thrust upon us. Ev-
cry machine shop of the North and every
foundry is crowded with work. Many of
the large manufactures have orders more
than year ahead and refuse to receive
any more. These thoughts indicate the
opportunities now afforded Virginians and
Virginia. Her territory is being rapidly
dotted over with means of transportation.
and it behooves our citizens to inform
themselves as regards the wants of the
people and the needs of the country and
to act accordingly. but also wisely.
Yours truly,
W. J. JONES.

The tender affections held in the bonds
of friendship were made manifest last
evening by the gathering of persons at our
little railway station to say a few brief
words and give the parting hand to our
esteemed friends. Mr.. W. FL. Carpenter
and wife and Misses Lille and Mittie
Carpenter. 1t is with regret that we see
Mr.. and Mrs. G. leave our neighborhood
to make their home in Missouri; but may
they meet with as many friends there as
they have left back in old Virginia. The
two young ladies, who are only returning
to their many friends in the west, from
whom they parted a few months ago to
visit their relatives in Virginia, came and
went like the morning glory. They were
two bright stars in the circle OF society,
that shed the light of their counUenances
upon US but for a short while and then
disappeared, and were it not that the Cir
Gle was brightly Illuminated before their
arrival, it would now appear dark indeed.
In commencing them to the care of their
friends in Missouri, we at the same time
express our regret at their departure. But
such is life and if we meet no more in this
land of misery, may we meet where part
ing is not known.

alton with other boys, and youths. with
youths, without much discernment, or
choice as to who their companions are
Their own resources are not cultivated
and this impels them abroad to seek enter
tainment. Carlyle, in speaking OF the
wreck of Robert Burns, remarks. 'Seldom
is a life morally wrecked, but the grand
cause lies in some internal mal-arrange-
ment, some want Of good guidance Ma
ture fashions no creature without implant-
ing IN it the strength needful for its action
and Duration" The internal resource is
there, only needing to be called into action
and cultivated. With some, it is me-
chanical turn. Let such inclination be
INDUCED and fostered at home, by the
gift Of few simple tools and MATERIAL
With another it is a desire for knowledge.
Let this be fostered, guided and encour-
aged. With others it is something else
Whatever it be, let it be fostered in the
son by the father and in the daughter by
the mother. To do this, they must arrange
to secure time enough at home to form the
acquaintance of their sons and daughters
and to make bosom friends of them. We
never see son who is the bosom friend
and intimate of an honorable father, how
ever poor, running into the social whirl
for amusement, or a daughter, who is such
to her mother, greedily seeking outward
help for her enjoyment of life. And if pa
rents do not seek by every means to make
them such, if fathers must spend all the
hours of the day in business and their
evenings at the lodge, or club. or in idle
chat on the streets, or even in religious
meetings, then all we can say is, God save
the poor waits, their sons, for it will take
more than skating Kinks, or ten-pin alleys
to do it. The error is in the homes, and
there is the great tap-root of all this mis-
chief, there it must be cut or it will never
be eradicated. Without internal resources,
God only knows where they will land
The mere external will only help them on
to ruin.
Social distinctions will also either cause
the certain failure of the plan advocated
in the plea. or make it only very partial
help, for If one class dominates in its con-
troi or patronage, another will not attend
| it or use it, and think that an hour spent
at home in cultivating the home ties OF
| affe ction, friendship and interest on. the
| part of parents and children as indicated
above, will do much more good than in
the latter, riding bicycles in rink and
| the former looking admiringly or approx
| ingly on. This latter is only "a good deal
| of suuealing for little WOOL" Let this
subject be ventilated, but not by me any
farther at present.
