They linger yet,
Avengers Of their native land

The warning call Of the scout was
not uttered without occasion. Dur
ing the occurrence Of the deadly en-
counter .ust related, the roar of the
!al!s was mbrokep by any human
so.md whatever. Itwould seem that
interest in the result had kept the
natives OH the opposite shore in
bre0thless suspense, while the quick
eyolutions and swift changes in the
positions ofthe combatants eilectually
prevented a fire that might prove
dangerous alike to friend and enemy.
I5ut the moment the struggle was
decided, u yell rose as fierce and
savage as wild and reyengcful passions
could throw into the air. 1t was fol-
lowed by the swift flashes of the rifles,
which sent their leaden messengers
across the rock in volleys, as though
the assailants would pour out their
impotent fury ON the insensible scene
Of the fatal contest.
A steady, though deliberate return
was made from the rifle Of ofChingach-

The New South.

The South is new field We have
found that we can manufacture as well
as our neighbors. We have found
that in our cotton, if we only manu-
facture it ourselves, there is immense
wealth ; that we not only have the
cotton, but we have other immense re-
sources; we have iron and coal; we
have valuable timber; we have great
advantages in water power; indeed
we have found that we have immense
resources, and that the road to wealth
is through the workshop, the factory,
the foundry, the iron and coal beds
This is new discovery, and it is max
ing for us new South To-day the
new South has more promise-a better
outlook-than any other portion of
the United States What we need is
live men in business affairs and wise
men in making our laws.

Respectable Republicans Smit-
ten by Malone.

Malone hesitates not to smite any,
of whatever political sentiment, who
will not be his'slaves. If the Repub-
licans can stand his treatment of them
the Democrats certainly can. The
Lyechbuyy Aduamce says: He has
struck down at one blow all the res
probability the Republican party ever
had in Virginia. lie and his party
have pursued and warred Oh WICK
ham until they have driven him into
retirement, and left him no chance for
self respect and independence but to
go into the Democratic party. AT one
blow he strikes down Bolts and a
Rives, and orders Republican Pres
sident to degrade these among the few
respectable names it had in Virginia,
and he obeys. Everywhere in the
State he has removed from office life
long Republicans, men who stood and
suffered for the party, while he was
scourging them, hip and thigh, from
Bristol to Norfolk, and no man in the
party has dared to challenge the pro-
priety of the Presidents Obedience to
the Virginia chief. The truth is, the
Republican party lost its regard for
integrity and purity under Grant-for
truth and honesty under Hayes-for
manliness and courage under Arthur:
It is miserable, cringing. sneakinc
organization, and Malone rules the
country"

The Bites of Insects.

AS this is the season of the year
when we are infested with insects OF
all kinds, it is we'll to remember that
the prompt application of an alkali to
the bitten part allays the irritation
and seldom fails to relieve the suffer-
ing consequent on class of injuries,
which, though small, are often exceed
ingly annoying and troublesome, espe-
cially in the case of children and per-
sons with sensitive skins. Soda and
ammonia will answer the purpose.

to get rid of them, which is said to be
quite effectual: Take Of gum camphol
piece about one-third the size of an
egg, and evaporate it by placing it in
a tin vessel, holding it over a lamp Of
candle, taking care that it does moi
ignite. The smoke will soon fill the

No paper can be made profitable
without cash payments IN Advance. -
He who tries it will give away more
of his earnings than any newspaper in
the South can affori.-NoJoM Ledger.
This is undoubtedly the right pol
icy, since everything that enters into
the composition Of a newspaper must
be paid for in cash or its equivalent
by the publisher, and there is neither
reason or good common sense in his
sending a paper, year, to people who
do not pay, nor care to pay for it
The cash system ought to be adopted
everywhere in the South, as it is in the
North. We have often been surprised
at the efrontery of people of whom
we never heard, in sending their
names with an order for the paper,
without money, or without even ref
erence Of any kind. Such people
would not think of making an order
on any of our merchants for goods
goods and expect it to be filled. But
the newspaper men-good, easy soulsl
will, they imagine, be glad Of an
opportunity to get their paper-the
product Of their brains, energy and
capital, circulated and read. We
ought all to reform in this particular,
by making all subscriptions payable
in advance.-Lymchbwy VUyiniaa.

Care During Thunder Storms

The number of cases Of death by
lightning are more than usually nu
merous this season. The storms have
been unusually frequent and of great
severity. During the prevalence of a
thunder storm great care should be
exercised not to expose oneself to dam
ger. Sitting at an open window or
door, near a chimney, or in draft,
should be avoided, as tits always at
tended by more or less danger. In
time Of stoFfa ,swhether at home or
in public building, it is best to close
up the windows and doors, to avoid a
draft, even if one has to undergo some
of the inconvenience of excessive
warmth. If out doors, il will be bet
ter to get a drenehing in the rain than
to take shelter under tree or any ex-
posed place, as there is very great
danger attending the former course
1t will be found bn investigation that
very many of the fatal results of light
ming are due to careless exposure
during the prevalence Of storms.

and members of various churches,
with whom we tailed to have inter-
views because of their absence from
home. With the assurances we re-
ceived from those we interviewed, we
felt confident there would soon be a
meeting and the work go right on.
In addition to the above visit, I
wrote Rev. W. NJ Staples, Secretary
of the Virginia B. S. at Richmond,
and Rev. Alexander Mclean, Secre-
tary of the A. B. S., requesting both
of them to send certain papers to the
