social qualities.

Letter from Lexington.

| Lexington has been very quiet since my stay

| amid the busy whirl of students and cadets,
when there was always something to enliven
hours otherwise. perhaps. sometimes cherries,
but this Fall have seen 1t when the lively.
| and, perhaps, noisy students were spending
| their vacation at their distant homes a rea-
| sonable person can but acquiesce in the opin-
| ion of so many city visitors, that Lexington is
a very-very pleasant place as a Summer resort
| The visitors come chiefly from Richmond, but
Norfolk and other cities have also been well
represented Many transient visitors are at
| tracted hither by the truly great statue of ZEE
Upon enquiry, find there has been an average
of about thirty persons daily visiting this
great work of art. One evening, in my rambIes,
entered the College chapel and then the mau

scarcely enter this building without sense of

the pure white marble, and may feast his eyes
for season upon the graceful, chiseled folds Of
the covering, and upon the noble brow and
form of the hero but his thoughts are different
from what they were when he entered AL
most unconsciously they revert to the past
and he will pass from the building almost with
feeling of sadness.
Washington d Lee University opened to-day,
Thursday, with something over a hundred
students. The outlook for the year is good
fully one hundred and fifty are expected.
The number of cadets at the Va. Military In

number will perhaps exceed one hundred and

The Legends Of the House of Nazareth,
Which Was Discovered by Empress
Helena

From the New York Post.
1t was the Empress Helena, mother of Con-
stantine the Great, who discovered the Santa
Casa, as well as the true cross i'm her famous
pilgrimage to the sacred places of Palestine
She identified the house at Nazareth partly by
Its narrowness and meager appointments, but
chiefly by certain holy dread that it inspired.
She caused basilica to be built over it. and ln-
scrlbed upon the facade: "HB est arain qua
primo jactuDs est hudsg sdt,Ltls fuadlaynen-
ha." The basillca was visited aud reyered by
uneOunted Thousands. until its destruction in
thefinal conquest Of Palestine by the Saracens.
The sacred house, however, was not allowed to
perish with It's enclosing shrine. In the night
OF the 10th OF May, 1891, 1t was borne by angels
to aspOt in Dalmata between Tersatto and
Fiume. where its divine origin was imme-
diately recognized D by a statue of the Virgin
and child and painted crucinx. both done by
st. Luke; (2) by an altar at which St. Peter had
said mass; 60 BY various relics Of the Holy
Family and Of more recent piPty; (4) bv the
same nameless dread that had convinced the
Empress Helena; and % by the fact that. un-
supported by any foundation, 1t still stood hrm
and level on uneven ground. The identity OF
the house was finally established BY q commits
sion. which went to Palestine, and found by
careful measurements that the original founda-

structure in Dalmatia
=
number Of pilgrims, and that the value of their
pious offerings was great; yet after about three
years 1t was concluded, We are not told py
whom, that the house might be even better
placed On the night OF the 10th OF December.
1294. the angels again took up their sacred
burden and deposited it in q wood not far from
the present LOretO. The wonders and yerif-
cations OF TersattO were repeated. but the site
was even worse chosen than before The riches of
the pilgrims attracted robbers who murdered and
piIlaOad with immunity under the nrot mo-
boughs Of the wood. A third miraculous trans
latiOn to the top Ofa neighboring Mil resulted
IN deadly feud between two brothers, Joint
owners Of the land. and was followed BY fourth
translation, which, till now, has proved final.
The angels must have been sadly tempted to
make fifth removal when the French sOldiery,
IN 1877, stripped the sacred house Of the plates
OF gold with which 1t had been lined. and de-
spoiied the treasury of Ofinestimable riches. Bnt
the wisdom OF their reserve has been well
proved as the generosity of the faithful in this
century mas already made up In great measure
1or the losses Of the past

How Was Man Distributed ON the
Earth!
From the Popular Science Monthly
This period, long as it appears, Is very short
as compared with the myriads of ages of geo.
logical development that preceded it, and repre-
sents only the last and shortest OF the geological
periods. The question. arises, How has the
human race been able to spread itself over the
whole surface of the globe? Is it the product
of different and independent origins In the sew
eral continents or have all men sprung from a
common cradle. a ''mOther-regionf" On this
point students are divided, AgassiZ holding that
men were created. and Carl VOgt that they were
developed, at different centers and Quatrefages
and the theOlOgians maintaining the unity Of
their origin. The fact is left that man. the
same in all the essential characteristics of the
species. has advanced into all the habita-
BILE parts of the globe. and that not re-
Gently, and when provided with all the re-
sources that experience and inventive genius
could put at his disposal but when still young
and ignorant. 1t was then, weak and almost
naked, having only just got that fire and few
rude arms with which to defend itself and procure
food the human race conquered the world and
spread itself from within the Arctic circle to
Terra del FuegO, from the Samoyed country to
Van Demen's Land. from the North Cape to the
Cape of Good Hope. tits this primitive exodus,
as certain as it Is inconceivable, accepted by
science as well as by dogma that we have to
explain. or at least to make probable; and that
in an age when it is only after the most won-
derful discoveries. by the aid of the most pow
erful machinery for navigation, through the
bOldest and most adventurous enterprises, that
civilized man has been able to fiatter himself
that he has at last gone as far as infant man
went in an age that is so far removed from us
as to battle all calculations
We must Insist on this point for it brings into
light an obstacle which those who have tried to
trace out the connection between widely sepa-
rated races and to determine the course that
had been followed by tribes now separated by
oceans and vast expanses have hitherto found
insurmOuntable; for If man is One-tO which we
are ready to agree-we must assign q single
point of departure for hts mgrations. In these
migratiOns man has gone wherever he could.
and at every spot he has occupied and settled
has acquired characteristics peculiar to the
place. and which differentiated from the men
settling in other places. Hence the varieties in
human races. Some of these spots seem to have
been peculiarly favorable to his advancement
and became centers of civilization. The number
of such centers is. however. very limited, and
their distribution Is significant
