it represented. When he alluded to con-
graduating Malone on his declaration OF
being better Democrat than Hill, he
knew that Malone was then outside of
the Democratic caucus, and that he has
not changed since. When he declared that
he left the Readjuster party because Of its
tendency to republicanism, the vision of
an office, which he could not get, must
have risen up before him. Mr.. Massey
may have wiped the dust Of REIMBURSEMENT
from his feet for fear of Republicanism
but it is a singular coincidence, to say the
least, that at the time the scales dropped
from his political eyes, IL fat politica
office slipped through his fingers, and the
world at large did him the injustice to
ascribe his change of front to the latter
and not the former. But Mr., Massey 5
browning declaration was when he said that
the free schools were indebted to the late
Conservative party for the measures that
had contributed to their successful sup
port and maintenance, and that he 1.-THE
speaker) had always been a friend to the
schools. When it is remembered that for
nearly ten years this ardent lover of the
system was denouncing the Conservative
party through the State rs an enemy of the
public schools the robber of its revenue
and the paralyzer of its usefulness, some
idea of the consistency Of his present
position and past record may be formed.
He tells the people now that with all his
devotion to the schools lie waged unre-
lenting warfare against the only party that
ever did or ever can benefit them. He .ac-
cepts now as the perfection of wisdom
the very measures which for years and
years he proclaimed We're deadly attacks
upon the system, designed to impair its
efficiency, and bring about its ruin. And
so on as to every point he undertook to
make. The effort but served to call at
tention to the vulnerable portions of the
speakers arnor. ;.
tits scarcely necessary to ada that Mr..
Massey's new allies did not appear plrtic-
ularly pleased with their champion. They
were evidently disappointed. The only
ones who seemed to be satisfied were the
Coalitionists. They were delighted with
the result Of the meeting and not at all
backward about shoWingit. t
! Mr. Massey left the Court House unac
companied by any of his admirers y and
as he made his solitary way to the hotel,
doubtless Illuminated OH the ingrattude of
the world in general, and particularly of
the Funder part Of it. 8w
! An observant countyman remarked, be-
fore the meeting, that Massey was the best
lawyer distributor he had ever seen Be
fore the meeting the members of the legal
fraternity were scattered in little groups
about the front of the Court House. No
matter how imtently they might be engaged
in conversation. the approach OF the,
Parson operated like a thunder storm and
sent them in every direction except that
of the eX-Auditor.

On Thursday last the children of the Luth-
eran Sunday School, of which Mr. d. w.
Landes is superintendent, enjoyed a pic
mic in Stuart s woods, near town. The day
was spent in innocent sports. and vast
amount of eating, a novel feature of the
occasion being the scattering OF guam

the scampering after them by the children.
The table for the dinner was improvised by
Mr.. j. III. Hemp, and never was happier
company gathered. The day will long be

A Great Show Coming.

WILL EXHIBIT AT STAUNTON, TUESDAY
SEPTEMBER 11TII.
We believe this is the eleventh annual
peregrination of the Sells Brothers, and it
is but just to state that, like arolling snow
ball, their exhibition has increased with
every succeeding year, until, at the pres
ent time it has assumed proportion which
may be truly stated as colossal. The
street parade yesterday was magnificent,
nor did the bills overestimate it's grand and
imposing effect The attendance, both
afternoon and night, was simply immense,
and the exhibition throughout was of such
superior character as toinsure equal crowds
during the remainder of the week. The
riding, gymnaStic, acrobatic and ring per-
formances were the best we have ever wit
messed, and there was not a mediocre act
in the performance, while the menagerie is
chuck full of the rarest animals of creation,
gathered from every part of the habitable
globe, and the finestand choicest specimens.
The time between the opening of the
doors and the performances in the arena,
can be Interestingly employed in an inves-
tigation of the wonders and curiosities Of
the various departments, very many of
which have never before been seen iii a
travelling exhibition. 1t is said that there is
a seating capacity Of ten Thousand in the
amphitheatre, notwithstanding which
there was barely standing room last night
for the immense multitude. Pioneer Press,
