MENACING TALK.
Governor Cameron, of Virginia, Makes a
ThreaBening Speech.

Governor Cameron, of Virginia, Makes a
Threatening Speech,
Washington Special.
Governor W. E. Cameron is the first Gov
ernor of Virginia for many years to go on the
stump IN a political campaign, and his action
has entailed upon him considerable annoy
ance. His opponents have regularly misre-
ported his speeches in their newspapers, and
have constantly maligned him. The Rich
mond Wing is the only Readjuster paper in
the State, and, therefore, almost the only
chance for the Governor to contradict what
is being said in that paper has been in his
speeches. Being the peace magistrate of the
State he cannot fight or provoke a fight, but
the last Misrepresentation was too much for
his patience.
On Saturday the Alexandria Gazette repre-
sented him as using blasphemous and vulgar
language while addressing the negroes at

How Durbin Wards Life Was Saved by

How Durbin Wards Life Was Saved by
General Steedman.
Interview with General Ward,
Yes, General Steedman is dead" said
General Durbin Ward to a reporter TODAY,
with a shade of sadness in his voice. w
were fast friends before the war, during the
war and since the war. Before your time,
young man, We met in political bodies, and
we were together as delegates to the Charles
ton convention, which terminated in such a
historical row. We were officers in the
same army division, under Thomas, from the
beginning of the war and until SteedmanfS
promotion, when he was appointed to an
other command. l think l shall attend his
funeral at Toledo on Monday. Indeed, l
feel it a duty, for l consider | owe my life to
General Steedman.
when L was shot in the shoulder at Chick
amauga," continued the General, pointing
toward the wound, which has seriously dis
abled him ever since, 1.-THE army was in such
a state of Generalization that it was impossi-
Bile to get much attention. No ambulance
being at hand l was placed upon a stretcher
and carried in that painful manner for about
fvo miles, becoming more exhausted at
every step, and suffering intensely from
thirst All the canteens were empty, ana
the only water we obtained was from a
muddy rill in a ravine. Finally 1 was placed
in q farmhouse at the roadside, and there L
remained, enfeebled by my wound and fren-
zied by fever and thirst, for eight hours.
There was no water. no liquid of any kind,
and the surgeons had not even a pill or q
powder to alleviate my pain or assuage my
fever.
"At this juncture General Steedman rode
by, and being informed that l was in the
house and wounded, he dismounted and
came in. Seeing my critical condition he
unslung a canteen of whisky from his neck,
and. applying it to my lips, gave me q good
draught. l Immediately revived and was so
much stimulated that l felt able to be car
ried to the hospital in Chattanooga DO not
positively know that 1 would have died
without the aid of that ~canteen, but | have
! ever since considered that l owe M life to
General Steedman."

Washington Special.
A prominent Illinois gentleman, who was
one of Abraham Lincoih's contemporaries,
says that he knows that when Lincoln was
engaged in the practice of law at Springfield
he prepared a book denying the inspiration
of the Bible. While the boob was yet in the
manuscript Lincoln became a candidate for
the Legislature. A friend hearing of it
begged him to destroy the manuscript, as it
would, if published, ruin mis- political future.
Lincoln, after some elaboration, complied
with this request. If the book had been
printed it is certain he never would have
been the nominee of the Chicago conven-
ton. Such a publication would have fright
eneG off any set of politicians.

Naval Officers and Their Wives.

Boston Courier.
We have no desire to reflect upon the navy
of the United States, but an incident which
was told to us recently ought not to be lost,
although we feel bound to apologize in adj
vance to the wives of naval officers for the in
justice which we are sure it must do to them.

companying their husbands being under dis
custom, a lady h has spent some time at

Stage immortality.
Dom Piatt.

The people must have amusement, and if
denied a natural, healthy, innocent, home
growth, they take what they can get from
other sources. Mind you. l don't mean to
say that French plays performed in France
are immoral. They are only such when pre-
scented to us. This sounds strange, but it is
true, all the same, Woes growing out OF
evils peculiar to a community make mate
rial for literature either in novels or the
drama. Their exhibi has a tendency to
correct the i'll. On this account we consider
Lady Macbeth, a murderess, highly proper
to look upon, while Lucrezia Borgia. an
adulteress, is regarded with horror. And
whyP Murder is our crime, adultery that of
France.
