PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

The dignity of truth is lost with
much protesting.
To see what is right and not to do it
is want of courage.
Honors come by diligence; riches
spring from economy.
Trifes make perfection, but perfec-
tion itself is not tritle.
All philosophy lies in two words,
"sustain and "abstain."
To correct an evil which already ex-
lists is not so wise as to forsee and pre-
vent it.
Next to an effeminate man there is
nothing so disagreeable as mannish
woman.
Be courageous and noble-minded /;
our own heart, and not other mems
opinions of US, forms our ruehonor.
Equality is the life of conversation /;
and he is as much out who assumes to
himself any part above another as he
who considers himself below the rest Of
society.
Life is made up, not of great sacri-
fees or duties, but of little things, of
which smiles and kindness and small
obligations, given habitually, are what
win and preserve the heart and secure
comfort.

AS there has been no notice of our Dis
trict in your paper lately, will you allow
mo a small space, to show that we are not
quite asleep. In spite of the bad roads
flor as you probably know land has become
so dear here that we economist space and
have the roads and creeks in one), there
have been several merry makings; but the
''red letter" party was that given by the
Hons. III. and Mrs. a Court, on Thursday
evening last, at the house of A. McChes-
ney, ESQ.
At o'clock the guests began to arrive,
and as fast as the mud could be scraped
off them, were presented to the host and
hostess. BY nine oclock all those invited
had turned up after sundry adventures
and break downs On our combination
roads. The Loving cup having been pass
ed around IN the gentlemen's smoking
room, the signal was given to the band to
strike up and twenty couples were soon
busily engaged On the best floor it has been
my fortune to dance on. The fun was kept
up without a pause until midnight when
supper was announced. The doors of the
large dining room being opened the CON-
pany marched in-Ye Gods what sight
blaze of light, two long tables beautiful
ly decorated and covered with every deli
cacy Imaginable. Had DR.. Tanner gazed
upon that scene in the middle Of his fast,
it would have settled him. 1t was impos-
sible to help thinking Of the frightful
amount of mourning that must be going
on in the fowl roost for the many dear de-
parted relatives about to be dissscted.
After supper, dancing was resumed with
renewed vigor and kept going until 10
O'Clock, when another trip was made to
the dining room for breakfast The hearty
grip Of the hand which was given by each
guest to the host and hostess on departing
must have convinced the latter of the
thorough success of the most enjoyable
night that has eyer been spent in this part
of the country.

That Good Camp Fire Talk.
Editors YSndicator:

Editors VSndicator
I think your Scamp Fire Talk with the
Democracy" last Friday, most sensible
and timely one, and it is to be hoped it
will not be without its good effects upon
our party and its leaders in the State. 1t
tells the truth and the whole truth. Old
party hacks must stand aside for time
| mean consent to work some portion OF
their lives in the common ranks and not
claim to be always in the lead to the eXclu-
sion of the rising young men of the party.
'sOnce in Office, always in office" will no
longer do, and there must be some "rota-
ton" hereafter or we are done for as live,
progressive party.
This is not written by an ''ofdce seeker"
nor one who has ever been much enriched
by such hono,s. On the contrary, as you
know, Mr.. Editor, it is by ons who has
been a constant and hard worker all his
life without any special reward for services
without treading on my own toes.
BY all means, hope the VINDICAToR
will hold few more of these 'talks' with
our Democratic friends until its lessons are
well dOnged into the heads of the blind
and stubborn of the "old foggy" portion
of our leaders.

The above letter is from one of the best

he has written as an 'Old Line Demo-

TRUE HERoIsM Miss Teresa Harsh
berger, of Franklin borough, is a young
lady who recently performed an act of self
sacrificing devotion for this benefit Of the
family of Mr.. John Hoy, Of East Cone
maugh, whose little ones were all taken
down with smallpox several weeks ago.
1t was apparently impossible to secure
nurse, and Mrs. Hoy was worn out with
watching and caring for her children both
day and night, when, one evening, in the
midst of her despair for help, in walked
Miss Teresa. She laid aside her hat and
wrSps in business-like manner, which
showed she had come to stay, and no
amount Of expostulation could induce her
to leave. Her share of the self-imposed
burden. was faithfully performed, and
when the baby died she washed the body,
placed upon it the grave clothes, and con-
signed it to the undertaken for interment.
She remained until the remaining children
fully recovered, assisted to wash the in
fected clothes, clean and disinfect the
house, and then quietly returned homa.
This lady had never had smallpox, and her
courage in entering the Hoy family as an
independent nurse is to be so much the
more commended. She had bsen on very
intimate terms with Mrs. Hoy, and hence
her reason for taking the chan ces.-Johns-

What Can The Matter Be?

Messrs. Editors.
Kindly permit us to ask your city post
master question through the medium Of
your columns. Why is it that we do not
receive our mails regularly for the past few
weeks? Have the politics of the present
day so completely engrossed the time of
the postmaster and his deputies as to pre-
vent further faithful and efficient dis
charge of the high duties of that office? It
is now of frequent occurrence that mails
pass over this route destined for other To-
calities altogether. Some of your city
papers reach here several days after their
publication, because they are sent by diff
ferent routes. No later than to-day Tire
mail bag passed through here with but tive
letters in it, to the utter exclusion of pa
pers and the like. This is simply beyond
endurance. Where does the fault lie? We
have come to the conclusion that ''reor-
ganization" of the Official corps in your
post Office has also become necessity.

The bringing up of the case of DIR. Brow
ar. a former Superintendent of the Eastern
Lunatic Asylum by MIR. Giddings of the
House, in the debate on the bill to re-
organize the lunatic asylums, was an exhi-
b;.ion of the most perfect trust in the for
getfulness of a people. Still it was worth
trying, for sixteen years is a long time.
The facts of DR.. Brewers case are simply
these: when the civil war ended. the State
of Virginia was a Military Department,
District No. 1. The military commander
appointed soldiers to places as he listed
Judges, court clerks, mayors, even school
teachers-in short, any position he chose.
It pleased the General commanding when
the death of DR.. Petticolas had vacated
the position of Superintendent of the Eas
tern Lunatic Asylum to appoint to it Maj
Brewer, the surgeon of federal reg
iment, with neither more nor less qualifi
cations for it's duties we presume than sim
liar military officers had. All these ap-
pointments We're made to last during the
reconstruction period and until the State
should resume control of her own affairs,
which was the extent of the Generals au-
thority. When Virginia was admitted to
the Union she did resume that control and
proceeded to fill the positions under her gov.
eminent with her own citizens. DIR. Brow
er's tenure of office was concluded, as was
that of judges, mayors, and all officers that
had been made by military appointment.
We are not at all Certain that he was a
Republican in politics and would like some
one with personal knowledge in the mat
ter to give assurance of that fact before
the mere assumption of it is presumed up
on as an argument. But whether he was
Republican or Democrat, the case of an
army surgeon. attached to an army of occu-
patton, appointed to the vacant superlnten-
dency of an insane asylum in military dis
trct, bears no resemblance to that OF a
Superintendent, a citizen of the State and
familiar with the duties of his position.
removed by an opposite political fac
ton, absolutely without other reason than
that he differs with it in his views on a
question of State policy. The attempted
use of it as precedent shows great CONT
dence in the forgetfulness of the people.
and very little confidence in their intelli-
gence. 1t is about on a plane with the
airy impudence with which Demo-
Gratis were told last fall that as that party
had elected John E. Lewis to the U. S.
Senate in 1859 it ought to support him for
Lit. Governor in 1881.

We are afraid that the Coalition party is
destined to disappoint its friends and COM
fort its enemies, by becoming a thorough
Bourbon organization in all its methods.
It is not only reproducing every bad
trait that the Democratic party Of Virgin
ia had, but actually going back into The
past and resurrecting and rehabilitating
some that had been long buried in response
to the demand of the tax burdened peo-
pie. Most of us are old enough. to recol-
lect the old State Tobacco Inspectors,
those noble old sinecures OF past genera
tion, The offices were filed for the most
part by old gentlemen of the highest re-
spectability. who were. as one might say,
pensioned for the good they had done for
the party in the past. The remembrance
of them, smoking their long pipes, enter
tanning the trade with the courtly yet ge-
NAL suavitY of the old Virginia gentle
man and complacently drawing their ST.
600 per annum, endures to this day. The
Governors Office in those days had little
of spoils connected with it, and besides
these offices and 8 flour and fish IN
spector or two, there was hardly place
worth having within the Executives gift.
Il took the tobacco planters long while
to find out that they were carrying these
gentlemen on their shoulders, but when
they. did, the old gentlemen had to go and
compulsory inspection at the State ware
houses was put an end TO, as everybody
thought never to be heard of again in this
progressive age. 1t is left for the new
party of Reform (reform with large RI
to introduce these pensioners to the peo-
pie again. For we see that proposition
has been made by a Coalitionist member
of the legislature, which is spoken OF as
meritorious by Readjuster organs. to re-
establish these offices of State Inspectors
of tobacco, long since abolished by a Dem
ocratic legislature, the incumbents to be
appointed by the Governor. This will
make sinecure places for some twenty or
thirty inspectors at salaries Of from 2,OOC
to So, 500 each. One would think the Uni
ted States tax was about as much as the
tobacco interest of Virginia could stand
unless our Readjuster friends in the lesis
laaure argue that an industry that already
bears tax of millions can't be hurt MUGS
by having sixty thousand dollars worth OF
Office holders additional saddled upon it.

No BLooDsHED.-A paragraph which
was copied into the Richmond dispatch"
few days ago from a Philadelphia paper
and rejecting on Mr.. James A. Frazier, a
Readjuster member of the House of Dele
gates from Rockbridge county, caused
that gentleman to declare from his seat in
the House. Friday, that whenever the
dispatch wanted to say anything par
ticularly mean of anybody cit went out
of the way to copy articles, thus evadlng
responsibility. To this the dispatch"
responded Saturday: "We have only to
say that Jim Frazier is liar" Anticipa-
ting that breach of the peace would Ger
talnly follow such language, warrants were
issued for the arrest of Mr.. W. T, Drink
ard, editor of the ''Dispatch,' and Mr.. Fra
zier. About II O'Clock Saturday morning.
Capt. Drinkard was arrested, and while
in the counting room Of the Dispatch"
arranging for some one to accompany him
to the magistrate, Frazier came in with a
friend. He was also placed under arrest,
but said there was no necessity for it, as
he had come to make an explanation. He
then, in the presence of friends. so modi-
fed his published remarks as to satisfy Mr..
Drinkard, and he thereupon withdrew the
epithet with which he had branded Mr..
Frazier. An amicable settlement having
thus been reached, both persons were re-
leased from custody.
