prejudice against the Governor, says.
"By the way, if We mistake not, you

the late convention, and heard people
in the hall insult Governor Blackburn

Emma Saufey, daughters Of Judge NJ. C..
SauAey, and for three or four years music
pupils Of Mrs. John NJ. Philips, gave a
few Of their friends pleasant musical en-
tertainment at the residence Of their teach

and at the conclusion Of the affair each
was presented with gold medal by the
teacher. as a testimonial not only Of prof.
cheney in music, but also Of poliIeness,
faithfulness and general goodness as pu-

greatly enhanced by the songs and the re-

though she has never studied music, &C.
quilted herself admirably.

In an interview with Cincinnati
Commercial Gaz cite reporter, which
she declared is the last she will grant
to any newspaper, that beautiful but
frail creature, Jessie Buckner, says
that in the history of the world no
one has been 80 bounded and persecu-
ted as she. She admits that she has
little or no sympathy from her own
sex but that the men of her acquaint-
ance solace her with sympathizing
words very dear to her heart, add
ing: II confess candidly that I have
lost all confidence in the friendship of
women-they are too often petty,
mean and insincere. Il probably
arises from envy or jealousy, but /
have found out, to my sorrow, that it
is generally to be discovered among
women" 1t is not unnatural that Ia.
dies should shun women Of the repu-
tation that Miss Buckner bears and
that they do regard her with suspicion
and distrust is pretty good sign that
something is wrong. And one of the
most convincing proofs that Mrs.
Thompson is innocent and virtuous,
lies in the fact that the ladies, almost
without exception, look on her in that
light and refuse TO believe her guilty.
Women may not be always right in
their estimation of women, but in
nine cases out of ten, when there is
any thing wrong they know it as if
by intuition.

THE spacious Hall in the owsley build

place ct for the gods last night. The good
women Of the Presbyterian church had
prepared at great trouble and expense an
elegant supper, and the def fingers Of the
young ladies had ornamented the room
with laces and flowers until one almost
imagined himself in fairy land as he sat
down to the beautiful tables. The young
ladies who acted as walters worked like
Trojans and for hours after the commence
ment was over fed the hungry crowd. The
receipts amounted to Sl35 and the ladies
are Justly proud Of their success.

IT is announced that Gen. Will
iams @. Wickham, leader Of the re-
publicans in Virginia, becoming dis
gusted with the Malone methods and
efforts Of the administration in his be-
half, has renounced his party afiilis-
tions and will hereafter labor with
the democracy in their fights against
fraud and corruption. II We remem-
Der correctly, Gen. Wickham was
wing before the war. He was oppos-
ed to secession, but after the act pass
ed he felt that he owed his allegiance
10 his State more than TO the Federal
government, and he was among the
first of her sons 10 volunteer to de-
fend her. He arose rapidly to the
rank of Brigadier General, his promo.
tion being due 10 the most marked
gallantry. Possessed Of fine native tai
ent and broad literary attainments,
no man stood higher in the estimation
of the people of his section than be,
and he was almost by reclamation
elected to the Confederate Congress.
He served short time and again re
turned TO his command, where short
ly afterwards in a terrific hand to
hand sabre fight with federal soldier,
he fell dangerously wounded in the
head and shoulder. After the war he
accepted the result and became a re-
publican in politics and was soon the
recognized leader Of the party in the
Old Dominion. Unlike Mosby, Long
street and others Of the Confederate,
he sought none of the spoils that were
usually bestowed on those who fell in
with the party in power, but on the
contrary, refused any Office in the
gift Of the administration. We have
given this little sketch Of his public
services to show what manner Of man
he is, and what an acquisition he is to
the democratic party in Virginia. We
have known him since early boyhood,
having been raised in his county,
Hanover, within short distance Of
his home, and it gives US pleasure to
testify that more honest, or a more
incorruptible man does not live than
Gen. Williams G.. Wickham.

age Of the people of the entire Peninsula.
The ''MiddletOwn Fair" as it is popularly

their important pursuit that found
vent in the popular 'cattle shows

resulted In creditable displays and an in
creased interest in stock breeding and Inn

throughout New Castle county.

THE Democratic members of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature, very unwisely we think,
have decided to rem ain in special session
until the recalcitrant Republican members
agree to the passage of just apportionment
bill. This is perfect folly. 1t is all very
well to fight steadfastly for a vital princi-
pal, but when the contest costs
the taxpayers three thousand dol
lars a day they are apt to hold
those who infict this expense upon
them, to strict accountability. The Demo
Gratis can well afford to go before the people
on the appointment issue, with the assur-
ance that they will settle the question in a
manner that win give the next Legislation
very little trouble. To continue the present
session is suicidal extravaganza.

WE DOUBT if there ever was a more pitt
able exhibition of journalistic weakness than
that displayed by the Republican organs Of
this city in their half hearted defense of the
brutal policeman Hennis. They felt in
their inmost soul that the man was guilty,
and yet they yielded to false notion oil
party necessity and gave him half hearted
