THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
FOR AUGUSTA.

The action of the Democratic County
Committee of Augusta Was as wise as it
was unanimous. For the first time IN the
history of the county the people of each
district will have the absolute selection of
all of their district officers. A gentleman
who by the vote of his own district can
not be elected to a position for that dis
trict, cannot, under the committees plan,
get it by the aid of the voters of other dis
tricts. In brief, the plan gives the voters
of each district. aud of that district alone,
the absolute power to select officers whose
business lies exclusively within its bounds
such as Commissioner of the Revenue,
Magistrates, Constables, &c. For the
general ffices of Sheriff and County Treas
urer the people vote at all the precincts.
The primary election Of April 18th, as
the people will understand, has no eff
feet Cd the legal one of May oath, save
thls-that the Democrats of the county
having at the April primary indicated
their choice of candidates for the district
as well as the county officers. should then
make it point On May Oath 1.-THE real fightl
to go to the polls and vote for them. The
last vote cast in this county was in No
vember last for Wise and Massey. and an
analysis of it shows the following MAORI
ties by districts:

1t will be teen from the way in which
these majorilios are distributed, that with
more than one popular Democrat run
ming for an flee in any of the districts,
with the exception perhaps of Riverheads.
a coalition candidate could capture the
position with ease. The same state of af-
fairs obtains in the election of the general
county officers. Treasurer and Sheriff
TWO strong Democrats in the field fer each
of these offices would 10 certainty result
10 handing 1t over to any Coalitlonist who
could command the strength of his party.
In this election Staunton has no vote
and at the meeting of the County Com
mittee, Mr.. Alex. F. Robertson, member
from the city, though heartily in accord
with the Committee, abstained from vo-
ting on the proper ground that it was a
matter of which the representatives of the
county voters should have the exclusiv.
control.
AS to the plans of the Coali.ionists in
this County we, of course, are not inform
ed. Their party in Rockingham. Page,
Shenandoah wherever they are in the
majority, have made nominations. Where
they are il the minority as in Augusta,
they may probably uy the still hunt and''no
party issue" dodge, taking the chances
of getting a Coalitionist into an office here
and there. But their plans or hopes are
iuconseq uential TO the Democrats of She
county, who have the whole matter in
their own hands if they stand together.
Ii these Democrats allow divisions among
themselves, however, they may have the
chagrin Of seeing solid old Augusta coun-
ty differed by the followers of Gen. VIM.
Malone and President Arthur.

About one year ago Frank Davidson. who was
formerly a resident of Milford, wooed and won

teen years Frank had not been married many
months before he discovered that the coarse Of
true love did not run smooth, and las Poverty
came in at the door. Love went out at the win

when their difference resulted in blows and a sep
aration, the wife going to her parents, and the
husband coming to Milford The house that Da-
wilson lived in was rented from Marshall II. Pret-
lyman, who attempted to hold the goods for his
rent, but learning he true inwardness Of the af-
fair he waived his claims and allowed Davidson to
move them From the first, the parents OF Mrs
Davidson were opposed TO the match, even refus-
ing to let the girl have her clothing, and during
the year many open quarres have been indulged
in that served TO keep gossips interested. When
the daughter returned 10 her people, they were
mutually incensed agaiest young Davidson and
blamed him with their daughters troubles; so, on
Friday last, Louis Melvin, young man recently
returned from Texas on visit to his people, vol
unteered to wreaE vengeance on Dayidson's head.
Young Melvin went TO Frederca, after screwing
his courage up by imbibing freely of strong druk,
sailed forth TO find his victim.

Davidson would possibly weigh los, and NJ H.
Prettym5n, who happened to be at hand, would
not permit Melvin to thrash man so much small

let Davidson alone. When Prettyman released
Melvin, he proved himself not only coward, buta
william as well, for he Immediately turned, and
drawIsg self-cocking, six-shooting English bull
dog revolver, pointed It at the head of Prettymah
and swore he would elbow his d--n brains out e"
Prettyman had no alternative bnt to disarm the
man, which he did, and has the pistol in his pos
session. Ex-Gov. Hall, Paris T. Carlisle, 81. John
Carrow and others witnessed the affair, and the
state has abundant evidence to convict for carry
ing concealed deadly weapons.
Mrs. Elizabeth Lowber, widow of the late Robert
John Lowber died suddenly on Friday night. She
was apparently in good health that day and enter
taned friends at tea tina; evening. She was taken
i'll after going to bed and died in half an hour
She was one of the most respected members Of
our community and was consistent member Of

Sunday and was largely attended by many prOmi-

Referring to the lament of city

remarks: I'VE are SO sorry that the
pulpit is thus all of a heep, and tat
faith has gone out, and, indeed, nearly
everything, except 'Romany Rye and
The BLACK Crook has exploded and
vanished. The old Bible culture, with
its sincerity and devotion, has given
way to scepticism and scientific spec
ulations; the Church is defunct; the
beer-garden stands. The laity have
grown intelligent and the preachers
have taken the back track on evolu-
tior, ard are in a good way to become
apes. The last generation had three
or four strong liberal preachers; this
ri.iahle age has none" The Adto-
cate says that while this is undoubt-
eddy very affecting, the trouble in the
pulpit and the churches is not near SC
bad as this writer thinks: and it he
would only take the pains to get at the

The Story OF = Countess.

The Paris correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
writes: "Some 80 years ago an
American gentleman, now residing in
Paris, but then living in Springfield,
Mass, went to the shop of his tailor,
Mr.. Hensler, to give an order. While
in course of conversation he was at
tracted by the sound Of sweet and
fresh young voices joining in a duet
in the next room. Mr.. Hensler, see
ing that his customer was pleased with
the song, invited him to enter md be
presented to the young singers, who
were his two daughters, Elise and Rose.
They were then mere children, the
elder tall, handsome girl Of Is, and,
though almost wholly untaught, they
sang with great sweetness several
simple and popular songs. Their
new acquaintance was so much pleased
with their voices that he sent them a
quantity of good music and induced
some philanthropic and wealthy ladies
OF Boston to interest themselves in
these gifted children. Rose, the
younger, soon abandoned all thoughts
of public career and got married.
The elder student. with success, went
upon the operate boards, all. finally
accepted a European engagement.
She is now the Countess d'Edla; the
morganatic wife OF the ex!king OF
Portugal, Don Fernando. She nc.
companied him 10 Paris when lie came
to visit this city few days ago. Her
early friend sent her his card, with u
request for an interview, which was
instantly accorded, and he was most
warmly received. The Countess, SO
far from endcavoring to eilace the per-
sonality of Elise Hensler, talked OF
the old days in Springfield, asked after
her Boston friends, told of her oper-
attic success, and finally sent for her
royal spouse that she might present to
MIN the kindly fellow-countryman
who had befrienIed her in her youth y
