What Has Happened Before VIII
Happen Again.

The event has occurred again. 1t was certain
to happen. The 15itn grand monthly drawing
of the Louisiana State Lottery took place on
time (as it always does. on Tuesday, March
18th, when the following happy result was
elected: Ticket No. 1894 drew $4,000, the first
capital. Among the holders of fractional parts
of the winning ticket were ]. Allentown, Pa;
j. j. Deyer, of Handsom's depot, Va; T. E.

The second capital, 900. was drawn by ticket

On Monday night, the 10th of April, a select
company from Madison Square Theatre, will
present Young Mrs. Winthrop at the Opera
House," The long and successful run of this
charming society play in the large cities has
impaired toit the familiar ring that was Pc
culiar to Hazel Kirke Esmeralda, and other
productions of this famous theatre, of which
we had heard SO much before the opportunity
was afforded us to witness them. The merit of
these pieces and the high character of the casts
are too fresh in the gratifled recollections of
our people to require more than bare mem
ton, and we indulge it simply as preface to
the announcement that in Young Mrs. Win
throp' we will have another attraction fully
equal to those, withithe addedmerit that it is an
American play, by an American author, and
originally brought out on the first theatre of
America. The cast Is of that finished excel
lence characteristic of the Madison So uare
management, and embraces such names as F.
NJ Burbeck Mr.. Edward Marble. Miss Belle
Gilbert and others who stand In the front rank
Of accomplished actors The attractive stage
setting and scenic material which so gratifled
our people in Esmeralda and Hazel Kirke, will
be equally secured at this and we may conf
IDENTIFY LOOK forward to as delightful theatrical
success as any we have been favored with bythis
theatre. The box sheet is now open at Olivier's
book store, and prompt attention to it will
save trouble and secure what may not be pro-
durable later on-a good seat.

| SAVED --Apemama one of the Gill
bert Islands, group Of the Pacific
Ocean, was formerly inhabited by naked
savages. These wild and barbarous
men have, however, been transfer med
by the power of the gospel. Through
the devoted labor of the Rev. Hiram
| Bingham, the language of the natives
was reduced to writing quarter of q
century ago, and then followed quickly
the translation of the New Testament,
the fourth edition of which has just
been published by the American Bible
Society. The effect produced by this
book upon the lives of the people is
forcibly illustrated by tidings recently
received by this Society through its
agent In Japan.
Five natives of the island above
named were found by the American
ship Northern Light in an open boat,
starving and helpless, six hundred miles
from their home. Seven of their num-
Der had died and been cast into the sea,
and these would have lived but short
time longer had they not been rescued
When taken on board the Oldest of the
group knelt and gave thanks to God for
their deliverance, and all seemed over
come with joy and gratitude. They
had copy of the NeaO Testament and
other books with them, and gave abun-
dant evidence of the genuineness of the
Christian profession. One of the num-
Der, although old and feeble. declined
to take brandy when it was offered to
him, giving, in broken English, this
all sufficient reason for his refusal, "Me
Missinery."
These interesting waits have been
sent, with purse of $500 raised in Yo-
kohama. to San Francisco. They are
soon to go to Honolulu, and from that
point they will proceed to their island
home. They have had an opportunity
in the midst Of their trials to test the
truth of Christian kindness on both
continents, and have themselves made
manifest to multitudes how vast work
the word of life has accomplished for
i the heather islands of the Pacific,

For the SPECTATOR,


Mr. EDITOR I'm your last paper, both you
and your correspondent "X. Y" have, no doubt
qnlte unconsciously. from a too hasty glance
at the contents OF my pamphlet, fallen into
several radical errors as to my views. I there
fore address you this brief note for the purpose
of correcting them. The error in your editorial
consists in confounding the intermediate state
of the soul between death and the resurrection
with the state of restoration and probation af-
ter the restoration. tx. Y" makes the same
mistake. He furthermore intimates that
teach q "second chance hereafter for those who
(after fair trial here) have nevertheless died
in their sins. This is not my position at all
careful study of my pamphlet will show that
there is no second trial, or "chance" as he. calls
it. for any one, but that the restoration is in
tended to afford q fair trial to those only who
are not the subjects of saving grace In this life.
He also refers to several passages of scripture.
and comments upon them, some of which are
not to be round in my pamphlet all. His COM
munication as a whole, therefore. though ac-
companied no doubt with the kindest inten-
lions, is anything but fair representation OF
my views. I earnestly beg of your readers,
therefore, not to judge of my publication until
they have read it for themselves.

FROST IN THE PULPIT.-Rev. ]. M. Frost.

from Stauuton Frost. If there is anything cold
and Icy and frosty about his warm, earnest,
and pathetic ILLUSTRATIONS at our Baptist
church, his congregations have failed to make
the discovery. If there be so much fire and
zeal and warmth of soul about the Staunton
Frost" the churches and people have need OF
more OF it. His is the kind of frost that melts
the soul and points it heavenward."

day evening, and when about two miles from
here his horse became frightened at a large
rock, which had slipped from the hill above
into the road and jumping aside both horse
and rider went over an embankment about
twenty feet high, the horse falling on Mr. Fat
rick, and breaking three of his ribs and other
wise hurting him. Luckily DIR. ]. $. Myers
happened along about that time, and procuring
a horse and buggy, had Mr.. Patrick taken to
Locust Isle," Mr.. Patrick's residence. We
learn from the doctor that he is getting along
well under the circumstances.
Col. Charles T. OFerrall and Mr.. Rock. Paul
have been here for several days, taking depo-
sitions in the O'Ferrall- Paul contest.
We understand that the amateur troupe from
Greenville propose giving one of their exhibit
lions here at an early date. We can safely
promise them good house, provided they ad-
vertise in time and let it be known that they
are trying to raise money for members of the
5th Virginia regiment who are not able to pay
their own expenses to Niagara. Speaking OF
| the contemplated trip of the 5th regiment to
Niagara, we wonder If the committee has tried
to get rates via the Shenandoah Valley Rail-
road ? If not, they certainly ought to try be-
fore making any bargain with other lines, as
it is beyond doubt second to none in Virginia,
and as for the comfort of the coaches and fast
time it certainly is withouta rival; besides 1t

CITY TREAsURERS OFFICE.-This office is one
of the most important offices of the city. to
which all of the citizens have to go. more or
less frequently. during the year; therefore 1t
should be located where it can be most con-
veniently reached. Located where it is now, 1t
is off from the business centre of the city, and
while not very far, yet it should be nearer to
the central point of the business traffic and daily
intercourse of our citizen. Why shouldn't the
Treasurer's Office be located in the City Hall
Building? The Office in that building would
be thousand times more convenient to our
citizens generally than where 1t is now, and 1t
can be removed to that building without any
extra expense to the city, for we understand
that the Staunton Life Association would fur
nish the necessary accommodations in their
offices. We are not versed in the ways of how
to get the Council to act, but we suppose petit
ton signed by our citizens would open their
eyes to the inconvenience OF having the Treas
urers Office where 1t is now.

A false impression has been made in some
localities of the county in reference to the ex-
cursion of the Fifth Virginia Infantry to Mag
ara Falls.
| It is reported that as we had no positive offer
from any railroad company to sell us excur-
sion tickets, the whole scheme had been aban-

| Permit me through your paper to say to my
old comrades, that there is not one word Of

| l believe-in fact know-there is a railroad
| company that will sell US tickets at a reasona-
| BILE rate. And here let me say, that citizens
who wish to accompany the Regiment, both
| ladies and gentlemen, will be provided with
good accommodations on the train. and their
tickets will cost them the same as those for the
soldiers. Arrangements will be made at the
Falls with some one of the hotels to entertain
those who accompany the regiment at re-
duRd rate of fair. Remember court day, April

all who have an idea of going will be present

uniform of the regiment who will not pledge
himself to conduct himself so circumspectly
on the trip, and whilst there. that the most eX-

said or done. One drunken man would mar
