A Thief's Cure,
THE UNFORTUNATE MANIA FROM
WHICH A CONVICT WAS RELIEv-

family who bad The misfortune to be
wounded in the head with a pistol-ball.
Shortly after he had apparently recoy-
cred he robbed store of lot Of stuff
that was Of no earthly value 10 him.
He then stole buggy, loaded the other
stolen property into the vehicle aud
hauled the entire business iato a piece
of woods, whele he concealed the buggy
aud contents. The young man was
arrested, the property he took was re-
covered, and he was sent to the Frank.
fort penltentiary. He served his time
out, and, going back home, burglarized
the same store, taking the same class
OF goods, which he loaded into the
buggy he had ran off with before, aud
he concealed the things in the same
place he had hidden them on the occa-
sion Of bis first offense.
Once more the youth was sent 10

friend of mine, WHOM | knew to be an
intelligent gentleman, to act as physi-

speak of was brought to his attention
because it was one of unusual interest.
The doctor gave it as his opinion that
the bullet which had struck the young
mans head had indented the skull

mans brain, and that this was the rea.
son he committed the burglaries that
couldn't possibly benefit him, but were
sure to send him 10 prison. The doc

man could be cured by trepanning the
skull, but as his time was about 10 ex-
pire, he wouldn't take the responsible :
ity Of performing the operation. So
the prisoner was shortly alterward sent
home. He lost no tine in loading up
the old buggy again with the same class
of goods that he had obtained on two
previous occasions when he burglarized
the same stole that he entered for the
third time. Of course, Immediately
after the things and the buggy were
missed, the owners knew where 10 find
them. and in no time at all my young
friend was back at the prison.
"The doctor then said that he was
going to trepan that fellows head if it
was the last act OF his official life, and the
death of the prisoner, and he did. Not
only that, but he did it successfully,
and pardoned the young man. He

The Tariff.

The Democratic party of Virginia
declares in its platform that the Tariff
shall cease to be so adjusted as to
"create and foster monopolies."
In that they strike the keynote that
has given direction to the whole ques-
ton. That the Republican admlnis-
tration has been using it for that pur.
pose, the mammoth fortunes fortunes
that are the wonder Of the world-that
have sprung up under its fostering care,
demonstrate beyond a doubt. These
fortunes have been built up. in the
main, by daily contributions Of the
masses of the people-co nlribuliors
that are wrung from them BY the opera.
ton Of the Tariff.
The Democratic party demands that
Use of The Tariff shall cease, and cease
forever, and that in place OF it the reye-
nues from the tariff "shall be limited
to the necessities of the Government
economically administered" and so ad.
usted as 10 subserYe the interests of
people. Ia carrying out this great OBJ
ject. it is no part of its purpose 10
make the duty on all articles Of i'm
portation uniform, nor 10 cripple any
rising Industries IN the State, by caus-
ing them intheir infancy TO compete
with similar foreign industries, under
disadvantageOus circumstances. Ga
the contrary 1t is its purpose to en-
courage those rising industries where
the advantages that will flow from to

balanced By loss to the many. The
Democratic party demands a revision
Of the Tariff in the enlightened interest
of the people.
The Republican Administration has
fostered mouopolies, and monopolies
have in turn run the party and held it
in power by liberal contributions from
their ill-gotlcn gains. The power of
this accumulated capital is so great that
already the people seem to be staggered
by it. We, therefore, rejoice TO see the

tried 10 bind a Legislature. Do you

PETERSBURG, VA, Jan. 1882.
Dear Mr.. Kilbourn: 1t gives me
pleasure 10 commend the National
Republican, so we'll and ably edited, 10
the earnest friendship of those who
would uphold the Constitution and the
laws, discourage sectional lines aud
class legislation, foster public educa-
ton and respect the rights and care for
the proper interests of all the people Of
a common country.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM MALONE"
We might under certain circumstan-
ces, forgive General Malone for all his
past acts of treason to the Democratic
party, but when he recommends as
proper literature for our people paper
that speaks of our dead, as follows, he
forfelts the respect Of Southern soldiers
and their decendants.
The National Republican says:
ITO venerate the memory Of Albert
Sidney Johnston is to prolong his
treason and cnmnatc along with him
all who do It, and who are none the
less disloyal to their country, because,
unlike him, they are in no danger OF
paying for their disloyalty with their
lives" This is the spirit that brands
Albert Sidney Johnson, Robert E. Lee
and Stonewall Jackson, now in their
graves, as traitors and enemies Of their
country.
When General Malone recommea-
ded this paper to the Southern people
he endorsed its teachings, and is partly
responsible for the results.
Those who fought with and under
these noble dead will not forget this
outrage. .-Lychburg AdUance.

GOODBYE.


GOODBYE.
Goodbye, good bye; 1t 10 the sweetest blessing
That falls from mortal lips on mortal ear;
The weakness OF our human love eonfessing,
The promise that love more strong is near
May God be with you!
Why do we say it when the tears are stsrting7
Why must q word so sweet bring only pain
Our love seems sll-sufncient till the parting,
And then we feel 1t impotent and vain
May God be with you!
Oh, may He guide aud bless and keep You ever
He who 10 strong to battle with your foes,
Whoever fails his love can fail you never,
And all your need he In his wisdom knows
May God be with youl
Better than earthly presence, e'en the dearest,
Is the great blessing that our psrting' bring;
For in the loneliest moments God is nearest,
And from our sorrovs heavenly comforts spring,
II God be with u.s.
Good bye, goodbye. with latest breath we say 1t;
A legacy of hope and faith and love,
Parting must come, we cannot long delay it,
But one in him we hope to meet above,
food be with us.
Goodbye, t.s all we have for one another;
Our love- more strong that death, is helpless still,
For none can take the burden from his brother,
Or shield, except by prayer, from any ill
Nay God be with you!
