A Patent Staff.

The correspondent of the New York
Herald who went TO meet the survivors
of the Jeanette i'm Siberia, was greatly
troubled by the caravans of sledees ear
rying tea to Russia. Nearly all the tea
consumed in that empire is brought
overland. and for that reason is much
superior to the tea which has suffered q
sea change into something not rich if
strange. The drivers, drunk, stupid or
asleep, take up. the whole of the road,
compelling a lighter vehicle to turn out
into the drifts. The correspondent had
fine silver-headed stick which friend
in Paris had given him as a defense
against the wolves. The stick was
therefore handed up the driver with
orders to hold it up TO the caravan
drivers and tell them to turn out. The
effect was magical 1t was ridiculous
to watch the drivers makesil broad OPEN
ing in the middle of the road. Many
plunged deep into the, drifts, while the
drivers stood with Their caps off waiting
reverenfly to give homage rs the sledge
passed. They Unsigned that the cor
respondent was either the Car himself,
or at least Gosernor-General.

Killed at the Ford.

He is dead, the beautiful youth,
The heart of honor. the tongue of TRUTH
He, the life and fiGht of Hs all,
Whose voice was biithe as a bugle-call,
w hom all eyes followed with one consent
The cheer of whose laugh, and whose pleasant
word
flushed all murmurs of discomfort
Only last night, as we rode along
Down the dark of the mountain gap.
To visit the picket-guard at the ford
Little dreaming of any mishap,
He was hI1mmin2 the words of some old song.
two red roses he had on his cap,
And another he bore at the point of his sword
Sudden and swift whfstling ball
Came ont of u wood, and the voice was still:
Something / heard in the dark ness fall
And for a moment my blood grew chilli
l spoke in whisper, as he who speaks
IN a room where some one Is lying dead;
But he made no answer to what said
We lifted him mp to his saddle again,
Ana through the mire and the mist and the
rain
Carried him back to the silent camp,
And laid him as if asleep ON his bed.
And saw by the light of the surgeons lamp
Two white roses upon his checks,
And one. just over his heart biood-redi
And j saw in a vision how far and fleet
That fatal bullet went speeding forth,
Till it reached a town in the distant North.
Ill it reached house in sunny street.
Till IL reached u heart that ceased to beat
Without a murInur, without cry;
And a bell was tolled in that faF-on town,
For one who had passed from cross to

die.

Reading.

AsSAAAS5s
The mere act of reading is not praise
worthy. To read bouk after book with
no settled purpose is too much like
gathering a miscellaneous assortment
of pieces of cloth and never having
them made into clothes which can be
worn. The substance of the matter is
to read for the sake of finding out some
thing and also to get ut the informa-
tion in the quickest way possible. But
we do not always read for improve
ment, and every one should know the
purpose for which he reads-whether
for rest, amusement or knowledge. A
boy or girl, tired by work in the shop
or house. takes up Hawthorne's WON
der Book"-that. is reading for rest
Fretted by low marks at school, one be-
comes absorbed in Swiss Family Rob-
inson''-that is reading for amusement.
Eager to instruct the mind, you read
Bancroft History of the United
ment. The three purposes are frequent
ly combined. One may find in reading
Macaulay's'' Essay on Bacon" rest,
amusement, and Improvement. Ofthese
purposes that of Improvement of mind
and heart is most important. In all
reading whose immediate aim is either
recreation or pleasure. the remote aim
should be the formation of noble char
acter No one should read book with
out resolving to be aided by il in every
right endeavor. The purpose for which
one reads determines the choice of the
book. If you are in doubt what to
read, form clear idea of the reason of
your reading, and the. selection of
proper book is made easy. In any case,
select only the best; no one can afford
to narrow his mind by the perusal of

The Value of Willow wood.

On account of its comparative incombusti-
bility, the willow is eminently useful for the
floors of buildings designed to be fre-proof.-
1t grows to large size and furnishes a great
amount of lumber There is a white willow
at Stockbridge, Mass, which lat four feet from
the ground measures twenty-five feet in Cir
conference and extends its branches fifty feet
in every direction. Tradition says it was
brought from Connecticut in 1907 by travel
Ter. who used it as riding switch.
The Hon. Jesse W. Fell, in giving an ac-
count of experiments in tree planting on an
extensive scale in Illinois. says: Were call
ed upon to designate one tree which more than
all others, would recommend for general
planting, would say unhesitatingly it should
be white willow" Prof Brewer says: "In En-
gland where it is often sixty or seventy feet
high in twenty years, there is no wood in
greater demand than good willow. 1t is
light, very tough, soft, takes a good finish,
will bear more pounding and knocks than
any other wood grown there, and hence is used
for cricket bats, for floats or paddle-wheels
of steamers, and for brake-blocks on cars
1t is used extensively for turning, planking,
coasting vessels furniture OK yokes, wooden
legs, shoe lasts" etc. Fuller says i: cit grow
eth incredibly fast, it being byword that the
profit by willows will buy the owner horse
before that by other trees will pay for sad
die" The basket willow, we'll cultivated, will
yield net income of $3.50 year to the acre.
On the whole, therefore, it would seem that
the various kinds of willow, the economic
value of which has been hitherto entirely
overlooked in our country, are eminently de-
serving of attention, and will amply reward
those who cultivate them.

of a store, and as he caught sight of them 9
grin crept over his face like molasses spread
out on a shingle.

Important Postal Suggestions,

! On the 21st, the House devoted several
hours to the consideration OF business report
ed by the Post Office Committee, and several
| bills were passed. The most important one
was the bill to modify the postal money order
system. 1t provides for the issue of "Postal
| notes" for sums less than five dollars to meet
want which has been strongly felt ever since
the fractional currency went out of circulation.
The fee for the issue of a postal note is to be
8 cents, and the note is to be payable to bear
er at the money order Office from which it is
issued, or at the office designated by the per-
son who procures it. Such a note will be-
come invalid three months from the date of
its issue, but duplicate may be obtained by
payment OF an additional fee of cents. The
bill also modifies the fees for the issue of
money orders, and establishes new rates as
follows: For orders not exceeding $40, s cts;
for orders exceeding $40 and not exceeding
$40, III cents; for orders exceeding $15 and not
exceeding $50, 10 cents; for orders exceeding
$50 and not exceeding $40, 30 cents; for or
ders exceeding $40 and not exceeding $50, 25
cents for orders exceeding $50 and not ex-
ceedlng 500, 30 cents; for orders exceeding
$50 and not exceeding $40, 35 cents; for or
ders exceeding $40 and not exceeding $50, 40
cents; Tor orders exceeding $50 and not ex-
ceeding 800, 45 cents no order is to be is
sued for sum exceeding 800.
The bill also provides that the amount of
all money orders which shall have remained
unpaid for period of seven years shall be de-
posted in the Treasury for the service of the
Post Office department. This fund shall,
however, be subject to draft for payment of
any money order more than seven years old
upon satisfactory proof of its ownership. The
total amount OF unpaid money orders at the
end of June, 1881, was $4,000, 96656, of which
the Post Office Auditor intimates that 81 $780,
600 may be classed as unclaimed-that is, COW
cred by orders which will never be presented
for payment.

DEATH OF Col. TUTwILER.- Louisa
correspondent of the Petersburg Ladec- appeal
gives the following particulars Of the death of
COL Thos. H. Tutwiler, whose father was a
native of Harrisonburg, Va, and son of the
well remembered Henry Tutwiler, decd, for
MANY years postmaster at that place in the
olden times
Col. Thomas H. Tutwler, who was SO seri
ously hurt on Tuesday last, died at about $50
o'clock Saturday evening. He had been at
tending the county court which was in session
Monday, and left early Tuesday morning
before sunrise, l hear-for his home in Flu
wanna county He was driving a rather wild
horse to his sulky, and the accident by which
he was killed occurred at Bucks Mill, which
is two miles south of the courthouse Some
saw he had some tin ware and piece of stove
pipe tied under his sulky, and suppose the
horse became frightened at these others think
that as it was very early in the morning (be-
fore sunrise) that he probably aroused some
pigs that frequent around the mill, and the
horse took fright at these. The accident oc-
Cured at probably the very worst spot on his
whole route, as at Bucks Mill it is exceed
ingly billy and rocky. He did not speak or
give any signs of consciousness when found,
and remained in that state until death threw
it's shadows over him. His wife drove here
from her Fluvanna home, distance of up
wards of twenty-five miles, in two hours and
a half. Col. Tutwiler was prominent citi-
zen of Fluvanna. He was very able lawyer.

A SONG FOR WOMEN.

A SONG FOR WOMEN.
Within dreary, narrow room,
That looks upon a noisome street,
Half fainting with the Sitting heat,
A starving girl works out her doom.
Yet not the less in Gods sweet air
The little birds sing free of care,
And hawthorns blossom everywhere
Swift ceaseless toll scarce winneth bread;
From early dawn till twilight falls,
Shut in by four dull ugly walls,
The hours crawl round with murderous tread.
And all the while In some still place.
Where INTERVIEWING boughs embrace,
The blackbirds build, time flies apace
With envy Of the folk who die,
Who may at last their leisure take,
Whose longed-for sleep none roughly wake,
Tired hands the restless needle ply,
But far and wide In meadows green
The golden buttercups are seen,
And reddening sorrel mods between.
Too pure and proud to soil her soul
Or stoop to basely Cotton gain,
By days of changeleSs want and pain
The seamstress earns prisoners dole.
While in the peaceful fields the sheep
Feed quiet, and through heavens blue deep
The silent loud-wings stainless sweep.
And If she be alive or dead
That weary woman scarcely knows,
But back and forth her needles goes
In tune with throbbing heart and head.
Lo, where the leaning alders part
White-bosomed swallows, blithe of heart,
Above still waters skim and dart.
o, God in heavenl shall who share
That dying woman's womanhood,
Taste all the summers bounteous good
Unburdened by her weight Of care?
The white-mooned daisies star the grass,
The lengthening shadows DER them pass,
The meadow pool is smooth as glass.

Reduced Taxes.

A bill in the right direction has been passed
by the House of Representatives for reducing
the revenues of the government which are
evidently large enough at present The bill
provides for abolishing the tax upon bank de-
posts, the stamp tax upon bank checks, patent
medicines, matches, hair-oils, and some other
articles of similar nature. These taxes were
imposed during the war, and were known to
be for the purpose of raising such extra reve-
nue. as had become, under the usual circum-
stances, an emergent necessity. AS the war
debt became reduced in principal, and the in
terest was reduced over one-half, the necessity
for these large revenues failed, and should
haye been followed long ago by the reduction
of the taxes provided to meet them.
In the years that have elapsed since the war
the Republican party has several times re-
duced the taxes and the subjoined figures will
