THE CITY OF THE HILLS.
Interesting News and Gossip from Lynch
burg-A Strike Among Cigar Makers.
Special LetteI


LYNcHBURG, VA, May 2.-This city is
precisely midway the state from east to west,
being 204 miles from Norfolk and 204 from
Bristol. 1t is the &c ntral crossing of three of
the leading railways-the Norfolk and
Weston, the Virginia Midland, and the Rich.
mond and Allegheny. 1t is the second to-
bacco manufacturing city in the state, ex-
celled only by Richmond, and has more bank
ing capital according TO population than any
other city In the union. Her population is
little over 10000, and in the last two months
we have been honored with free postal de-
livery, which works with great satisfaction
to our people, many of whom were opposed
TO II at first.
Until within a few years past tobacco was
almost the exclusive manufacturing industry
here, but recently other industries have
sprung up with amazing rapidity, especially
in iron, and the future promises to make this
"City Of the Hills" one Of the richest and
liyoliest manufacturing cities in all the
country. Our water power is immense, our
railway facilities great, and the rapid influx
of northern capital to the state, and develop
ment of the great coal and iron resources Of
the surrounding country for one hundred
and fifty miles, which have heretofore been
almost entirely dormant have given q now
impulse to industry and enterprise unprece-
dented in the old state,
Inc loaulnB buIDecJ OF local interest Just
now is the city election, which comes of on
the fourth Thursday of this month. This Is
for members of the common council exclu-
sively, which body will have tho appointment
of various other officers of importance and
value, and consequently makes its political
complexion n matter Of more than ordinary
interest to both Of the parties. There are
three wards in the city, one of which (the
second) is conceded TO be democratic, and one
(the third) is strongly coalition. The leading
fight will be over the first ward, where the
parties and races are much more evenly bal
anced. AS this ward goes so will go the city,
and each party is of course putting forth its
greatest exortions to secure the prize The
race will be close though both sides conf
IDENTIFY claim the victory, and are working
like Trojans. The council and all of the city
officers are now democratic or bourbon.
The convention Of the Young Mems Chris
tian association Of Virginia, which has been
in session for several days in this city, ad-
journed Sunday after very interesting aud
harmonious session. There were representa-
tives present from some other states as far as
Massachusetts,.
There was o strike yesterday of the cigar
makers, and also Of that class Of tobacco oper-
ators known as dry stemmers" The strike
of the former grew out Of refusal of the

Five Years a Sentinel

One Of Napoleon's sentlnels met
with a remarkable adventure, aud
though lac did not exactly stand and
watt he secured through his quick WIT
the advantage due to such service. lie
had been posted on retired spot on the
Isle of Rugen, which was occupied by a
detachment from Davousps corps -
Some alarm caused the troops 10 em-
bark with precipitation aud they forgot
this sentinel, who himself was so alb
sorbeG in a newspaper containing re-
port Of NapoeOn's recent victory as
not to observe their departure. After
pacing his post lor several hours, with
out being relieved, he became impatient
and returned to The guard.room. He
found it empty, aud learned that his
comrades had left the island.
Alas = be cried, in dIspair, L shall
be looked upon as deserter-dishon-
ored, lost-unhappy wretch that | am.'
A baker, plying the poor fellow, took
him 10 bis home, consoled him, taught
him 10 make bread aud after several
months had shown that be was smart
and industrious, gave him his daughter,
Justine, IN marriage. Five years alter
a strange sail was seen approaching The
island. The inhabitants, hOcking to
the beach. discovered on the deck OF the
ship number of soldiers wearing The
uniform of the French army,
I'm done for Low,' cried the dis
mayed husband of Justine, MY bread
is baked
An original idea revived his courage.
He ran to the Louse, slipped into his
uniform, seized his Grelock, returned
to the beach and posted himself as a
sentinel at the moment the French
were landing.
Who goe. there p he shouted IN
voice like thunder.
who goes there?' YOURSELF replied
one in the boat. Who are you!'

How long have you been on guard? ?
Five years.

quaint reply, aud gave a discharge IN
due form TO bis involuntary deserter.

I'm Not Afraid.

Mrs. Helen Williams tells the toll
lowing: Not long ago stood by the
death-bed of little girl. From her
birth she had been afraid OF death.
Every fibre of her body and soul recol-
ed from the thought OF it.
Don't let me die, she said, don't
let me die. Hold me fast. Oh, | can't
co.
Jenny said, you have two little
brothers in the other world. aud there
are thousands of tender-he people
over there who will love you and take
care of you.'
But she cried out again desparingly,
Don't let me go; there are strangers
over there
She was a little country girl, strong
limbed, fleet Of foot, tanned 10 the face;
she was raised on The frontier, the fields
were her home; she Stunned the pre-
sence of strangers with that childish
em mbarrassm born Of a beautiful
Imagination and faith in the possibility
of unknown manhood and womanhood
in others, based doubtless upon the
coming worth of her own womanhood.
In vain we tried TO reconcile her to the
death that was inevitable. Hold me
FAST she cried, don't let me co.
But even as she was pleading, her
little hands relaxed their clinging hold
from nay waist aud lifted themselves
eargerly aloft; lifted themselves with
such stralnlng effort that they lifted the
wasted little body from its reclining
position among the pillows. Her face
was turned upward; but it was her
eyes that told The story. rhey were
filed with the light of divine recogni-
ton. They saw plainly something
that we could not see; aud they grew
brighter and brighter, aud her little
hand quiyered in eargerness to 90 where
strange portals had opened upon hel
astonished vision. But eyea in thai
supreme moment she did not forgel
TO leave word Of comfort for those
who would gladly have died 10 bel
place.
Mamma mamma, they are no
strangers. Pm not afraid An.
every instant the light burned more
glJriously in her blue eyes un til at las
it seemed as ither soul leaped forth upoI
| its radiant waves, and 10 that momen
her trembling form relapsed among it,
pillows and she was gVne.
