The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1883-09-13

The stereotypes of the Bourbons have
been brought out from among the cob
webs and dust gathered over them for the
past two years, and are being used early in
the campaign. The same old stories about
OBJECTIONS and bolts and revolts and wide
spread dissatisfaction are reproduced, with
occasional variations. The people know
what they amounted to when first set
afloat, and they know how much impor-
lance to attach to them now The forces
opposed to Bourhonism have no time to
fool with such things. They are working
for the public gOod-for the complete
emancipation of Virginia from Bourbon
domination and influence, both State and
National, and have so many reasons ap-
plicable to the present that they are not
concerned about these obsolete canards
We live in the present and mean to strike
for present reforms. The people under
stand them, and will give very little atten-
ton to the eXtrayagant inventions of de-
moralized and moribund faction. We
would like to have something fresh to
combat, but to get it, we must look to
some ether source than the Bourbon press
1t lives in the lava beds and fossils and
among the dry bones Of the past.

Gen. Joe Shelby, a distinguished Con-
federate officer, and resident of Mis-
souri,, was witness for the defence IN the
case of Frank James, the bandit, now on
trial at Gallatin, Mo. During the time he
drew IL pistol in court. The next day he
apologized to the judge, but not satisfied
with that the Judge severely reprimanded
him. During the delivery of the repri-
mand, the General pronounced statement
made, lie. The Court imposed q fine
which Shelby paid and then walked out.

Teachers Institute at staunton.

We awaited ourself of the pleasure Of at
tending two sessions Of the Institute held
at Staunton for the benefit of the colored
teachers Of Virginia--W ednesday and
Thursday, ODD and 23d inst. We were
! never more impressed with the Importance
of the work there being prosecuted The
enrolment of teachers was IS. Attend
ance very good. The large majority of the
teachers present were from the region of
country surrounding Staunton, although
there was very fair representation from
other parts of the State save Richmond.
Petersburg was represented by twenty
teachers, two principals and it's Superin-
tendent. We blushed for Richmond when
we learned that only two teachers were
present to represent her. These two are
among the brightest and best talent en-
ployed in our schools-Misses L. G.. Brooks
and X. V. Dabney. When we remember
how much has recently been done for Rich
mond ; how over twenty colored teachers
were recently appointed to our colored
schools, with colored principals, giving lis
over forty colored teachers and principals
how the Superintendent of city and State
Instruction have urged attendance upon
these teachers, and then to find not sim
gle principal present the whole forty
teachers represented by only two young
ladies, we blush and cover our face in
silence. 1t may be that the absent teach
ers can satisfactorily explain their absence
we hope they can.
But to the Institute every one who
knows, personally, anything about it, votes
it a grand success.
The teachers present speak in the highest
terms Of the high order of instruction and
general conduct of the Institute. They
also speak in terms of praise of the good
people of Stanton. Prof. Mitchell de-
serves credit for the scholarly manner in
which he has conducted the Institute.
Prof. Storum is fine teacher of mathe-
matics, while Prof. Moss is perfectly at
home on geography in all it's branches.
Prof. Parker is a splendid musician, and
many teachers will remember him for the
benefit they derived in that department

and object lessons which she
teaches, with such adroitness that no one
under her instruction can fail to be bene-
fitted. Miss Morris, the instructor in
grammar, is said to be one of the finest
teachers of that science in the State, and
certainly she has well sustained her reputa-
ton by her teaching at the Staunton In
stitute. The Institute was held in the
Academy on New Street, which was adj
mirably adapted to the purposes of teach
ers Institute. From the porch of that
building some OF the sublimest views of
mountain scenery may be obtained, and,
we think were well enjoyed by the teach
ers present. Superintendent Farr should
take great credit to himself for the entire
success of this Institute, and the Liberal
party should do the same for the increased
educational facilities which it has afforded
the coloredpeople of this State.-Richmond

The drouth of the past two months has
done and is still doing great damage to the
crops throughout the south side of Virginia.
Unless there is an early fall of rain the
loss will be incalculable. In some sections
not more than half crop of corn can be
made, and the same may be said of cotton
and tobacco. In some counties no rain
has fallen since June. The streams are
fast drying up, rendering milling opera

The Old Mans Secret.

The following is from the New York
Truth, of Sunday last, edited by Oakley
Hall:
Truth will tomorrow present to the
people story of stupendous political cor
ruption unparalleled in the history of the
Republic. 1t is not altogether an unknown
story, but it has almost been forgotten.
1t is interesting as showing how the
Democratic party will strain at a gnat,
after having cheerfully swallowed camel.
Dorsey's entire CHARGE so far as the use
of money in the Indiana campaign is con-
cerned, is that large fund was raised and
spent in the canvass. There is not one
single iota of evidence that the money was
used in brides.
If there was any purchase of votes the
purchase was made of the voter direct.
It.was only his own vote that was paid
for.
In the case of Tilden, in 1876, as Truths
publication tomorrow will show, thousands
of dollars were spent in direct and unblush-
ing bribery. Not single votes were traf
IChtu LII, DlU WuOl6 cldGtS Wtl0 QGUduCilClls
The solemn trust vested by thousands of
voters in the members OF the Electoral
College were approached, and they were
tempted by immense sums of money to
sell out their constituents, and deliver over
to Tilden, the votes that were, beyond all
doubt, given them to cast in favor of
Hayes.
Tilden is laying the wires for a renomi-
nation on the ground that he was de-
frauded in 1S76-Dana's denial to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. The Sam has pub
lished the proceedings in the Hayes Elec-
toral Investigation, and it is but fair that
the public should know the extent and the
villiany Of the plot the Republicans had to
counterfeit.
They shall have the advantage of read
ing the testimony which duplicates Tilden
in desperate effort to buy what he could
not otherwise gain, and learn probably for
the first time what the Tilden cipher dis.
patches really meant.

A CHEAP FILTER.-Very many
families desire some inexpensive
device for filtering rain and other
waters TO be used for cooking anc
table use. A cheap and very eff.
cient filter may be made by using
a spirit or wine cask, placing it d
end. with the head removed, arc
having a faucet at the bottom t.
draw off the clear water, To fit il
for filter, take the removed TOP
head OF the cask, and with a small
bit bore holes all over it, then place
four clean bricks or blocks OF wooc
on the bottom, and on these res
the perforated top. Now fill upon
it aboul toul inches of charcoa
chopped into small bits the size o
peas, and over this place layer Of
clean sand six inches deep. I'm.
pure wafer poured into the cask Oh
top Of the sand, will become cleal
and sparkling after a little while,
or as soon as. all fine particles are
worked out of the charcoal and
sand. This filter will not need re-
newing oftener than once in two Of
three months.

Soil FOR PoTs.-Most soil needs
a liberal admixture of peat or well
pulverized muck before it is in a
condition for using in pots. The
bottom Of the pots also needs a
layer of tinely-broken brick. over
which should be placed little
spbagnum. Peat and sphagnum
are not always easily procurable,
and in such cases a good plan is to
dig up clumps of fern roots from
any brake bog by means OF an cid
axe, and then TO chop them up
with spade or axe. " hen well
cut up the roots may be pulled out
and shaken, and then used as a
substitute for spagnum. The fine
muck-like earth which retains will
be nearly equal to florists peat
for the cultivation OF most common
plants.

Too Much Hay.

A COW must be we'll fed. 1t is
not enough to feed a COW all the
hay she can eat. Generally it is
not advisable to feed COW all the
hay she can eat. Hay is difficult
to digest, and if as much is fed as
the cow can eat the digestive or
CANS will be burdened to such an
extent that The animal cannot di-
gest enough nutriment to enable
her to yield as large a flow of milk
as she otherwise could. In regard
to this matter. Professor l., B.
Arnold says "The slow and im-
perfect manner in which common
hay digests is an objection to u.s.
ing it to the extent many dairymen
do as the main food for the diary.
1t is often the boast that COWS have
all the hay they can eat, and 1t is
a boast that does not speak we'll for
the largest returns. Hay will not
allow OF the best returns in milk
production. Dried grass Will do
very well, but common hay would
require an amount burdensome for
cow TO carry, an amount beyond
the capacity OF her stomach, to
yield the material for good flow OF
milk without drawing on her store
Of flesh TO produce it. The more
1 study the food OF mich cows,
the more / am inclined to limit the
quantity of hay to the smallest
amount which will afford a com
forlable distention of the stomach,
and make up the rest OF the ration
with food richer and more rapidly
digested. 1t is the best way to
get large and paying returns. 1t
is not advisable to give COW all
the hay she will eat even when
she is ted with grain to consider
able extent. She Will take in more
food than her digestive organs can
properly digest, and a portion will
be wasted. By feeding only enough
hay you produce comfortable dis
tention of the digested food, and
thus enable the COW to yield a
larger flow OF milk, Ii the hay
used is early cut or dried grass,
it will be permissible to iced 1t more
freely than late cut hay.
