A MARKED DIFFERENCE.-Ast the Rich.
Dispatch says, ga favorite point with Goa
lition orators is that the Democrats have
nominated General Wickham for the Sen
ate, and thus proved that they are as will
ing as the Coalitionists to form an alliance
with the Republicans. Do the men who
make this point pretend to believe that the
Democrats of this year will next year sup
port the Republican nominee for President
of the United States? Not for one moment
would they entertain such a suspicion.
They know the Democratic party OF Vir-
ginia is part and parcel of the Democratic
party of the United States; that it will
send delegates to the Democratic National
Convention of 1884; and that 1t will sup
port the nominee Of that Convention fol-
President of the United States; whilst the
Coalitionists, on the contrary, will send
delegates to the Republican National Con.
vention of 1884, and support the nominee
Of this Convention for President of the
United States.
But the case may be summed up in these
few words: The Coalitionists support Re
publican candidates in the interest of the
Republican party, whilst the Democrats
support General Wickham in the interest
of the Democratic party. We are fighting
now, as we shall fight next year, fos the sue
cess Of the Democratic party, Democratic
principles, and Democratic measures. The
Coalitionists are fighting now, rs they will
fight next year for the success of the Re
publican party, Republican principles, and
Republican measures"

Church South in Lewisburg w. Va, after an
illness OF several weeks, died at the Parsonage

were then made by Rev. M. L. Lacy, d. D.,
Rev. T. Il. Lacy. D. D., Rev. j. W Rosaoro, and
Re 2. S. E Slxeas.

by her father, Mr.. Luther Ellis, and sister, left
LewisbuTg, with her effects, for Ashland, Va,
the home of her fathers family.
The Greenbrier Independent, to which we are
indebted for the above facts, in speaking OF the
deceased, says HE was a clear thinker, a
forcible preacher, and q pure man. He was
unselfish and liberal in his views, and was no
table for his affectionate and sympathetic ma
ture He was true friend and devoted Chris
tian minister, and met death without fear, de-
claring that for him to live was Christ, and to
die was gain"

S. BROWN ALIENS SAME OLD NAL
GLORIOUS JoKE.-A correspondent Of the
Alexandria Gazette, writing Of the recent
discussion between Judge Stuart and S.
Brown Allen, says;
"During the delivery of Judge Stuart S
speech Mr.. Allen pretended to be taking
notes as basis Of reply, but it turned out
that this exercise was availed Of only as a
conductor of his embarrassment, for when
he came to reply the sole reference or use
made of them was as to their number, which
he claimed to be thirty nine, and upon this
he based nothing but an anecdote of very
questionable decency."
This is S. Brown Aliens usual way Of
avoiding any reply to his opponents speech.
In his speech in Staunton some time ago,
he took the same thirty-nine notes, on
which he based afterwards his indecent
aoindy anecdote, and then delivered his lit
tie set speech.

be inveigled into the support of the Re-

Hitherto we have heard nothing from them,

in the river 8 or 6 strange fish, which, from

had orange stripes on their bodies and a
row of teeth in the back part of the mouth.
He represents them as a very ''rich' fish,
