ic tonic, made in Baltimore,

Company, who are old drug
gists and in every particu-
lar reliable, will, by remov-

TRUE
temperance

Is not signing a pledge
or taking a solemn oath that
cannot be kept, because of
the non-removal ofthe cause

a man temperate is to kill
the desire for those dreadful
artificial stimulants that car

to premature graves, and
desolation, strife and UNI
happiness into SO many

The Poe Memorial.
New York WorId.I

At last the Poe Memoiia the result OF
much honorabeexertion on the part OF the
theatrical profession, il about TO be set up
IN the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. Very
properly the commission was given, by
Mr.. Algernon Sullivan and the other gen.
tlemen OF the committee, to an American
sculptor, and very oddly to an artist whose
work does the country credit. Professor
r. ii. Park has just arrived in New York,
bringing the marbles from his studio in
Florence. There are two pieces-a bas-
relief OF Edgar Poe's head and a full
length, llfe-size figure OF muse with a
wroata OF laurel in her raised hand. The
relief will be let into the wall. The figure
Is so posed us to seem In the act OF ascend
ing the marble steps below the portrait and
about TO crown the poet with the laurel
wreath. The work Is excellent-fuil OF
grace, not too bulky for the position, and
altogether quite credit 10 the taste Of the
committee in giving preference to this de-
sign.

A Little Too Previous.

A London special to the New York
World says Lord Lonsdale has instituted
criminal proceedings against Edmund
Yates, of the World, in the matter OF an
anonymous libel in that journal on january
18th. IL confirmed Il paragraph to the effect
that il was understood in sporting circles
that an elOpement had taken place from the
hunhng-lield OF young lady of very high
rank and noble birth with young peer,
whose marriage was one OF affection, but
whose wife has unfortunately fallen into
delicate state OF health. .'The youne
lady," it added, sis only two and twen-
Is, and the gentleman master
of hounds.' This statement was at
once understood to refer to Lord Lonsdale.
Lady Lonsdaie has fallen into bad health.
ard it was known that she had gone
abroad to recuperate. Lord Lonsdae is n
master Of foX-hounds, and the only peer to
whom 1t could apply, the other young
peers who Oil similar po~itions-Lords
Pembroke, Eossm0re. and Gulford-hay-
ing wives whose health is unimpeachable.
All these facts were SIT forth by the Attor-
ncy-General and Lord Lonsdale's solicitor.
who wrote TO Dir. Yates, and demanded
the authority upon which he bad made the
statement. To this Mr. Yates replied
that he was asionished that it should
be supposed that the paragraph re-
ferred 10 Lord Lonsdalc; that he knew very
well the aflcctioDate relations that had al
ways existed between his Lordship and the
Countess, and that it applied to another
peer, whose name he did not give. Lord
Lonsdale made ar affidavit that there was
aot word OF truth in the scandalous im-
putation, and Mr.. Yates will have to come
into court next week and show cause why
4 criminal information shall not be laid
against him. Lord LoBsdaIe is only TWEEN

10 the Editor of the Dispatch :

Your correspondent, who seems to be 80
much exercised about Newport's News and
the origin of its name, wants to know the
origin Of the name OF Boston, London, and
Dublin.
The origin Of the name of Boston IS Be-
tolph's town. Boston, i'm Massachusetts,
was named bv its English settlersafter Dos
ton, a seaport town Of England, IN the
county Of Lincoln According to Saxon
chronicles, st. BOtolph, the patron Of sailors
OIL that part OF the North sea, founded q
monastery in Gji, A. D., at the spot where
the English town OF Boston now is. The
monastery WAS destroyed by the Dams,
who were then heathcns, in $50. From,
this monastery of st. Botolph the present
English town Of Boston is said ID have
taken its name.
Dublin was originally built on marshy
ground, or a Hack pool, at the mouth OF
the river Liirey. In the Celtic language
the equivalent io' black pool is Dueb-linn.
Hence the name Dublin.
Many derivatIons are given for the name
OF London. Some antiquarians derive it
from Lhwn. dinas, Cymric name signify
ing the City in the Wood; Others from
LongdinaS, the "City Oi Ships; others
from Llyndun, the &" Hill Fortress" by the
linn or lake. or marsh, as the flats on the
Thames below London bridge might he
termed alluding TO some primi-
tive fortitication on the hill where the
Tower of London now stands. GeoAcry
OF Monmouth says that Brute, who came
from Troy, "builded this cite" about b.
c. LOGS. From the time at which if is
reported to have been founded by Brute
even fable itself is silent in regard to its
history until the century Immediately pre-
ccding the Roman invasion. Then the L.
gendary King Iced, whose memory is Pre-
served at Ludsate Hill, the size OF one OF
the tour great ancient gates OF the city, is
said 70 have encircled il with walls. and
adorned il, according TO the ancient cheni-
Giles, "with fayre buildings and towers"
Tacitus speaks OF it rs LOndinium, from
which the modern name is derived, and
also as Colonia Augusta, but Is silent as to
the origin OF the name. | think the an
cient Romans were a severely practical
people, and concerned themselves less about
the origin Of names than we moderns do.
Probably they had neither the IN lterial nor
the taste for that kind OF investigation. and
generally took things rs they found them
without inquirng into their beginning.

by command OF the Emperor, Prince

the German consuls and other diplomatic
agents in the United States concerned in
The collecting and forwarding of subscrip-
tons for the relief OF the sufferers by the
recent Hoods: "The Emperor has learned
with keen interest from your report how
general was the sympathy awakened among
the German citizens OF America for the
slllerngs OF the residents OF the inundated
districts. He is much gratifled TO learn OF
The feeling of kinship which citizens Of the
German race abroad entertain for their

warmly, IN the name OIL the sufferers, your
committee, which has already achieved
such happy results, and beg you To con-
vey to the committee this expression OF
gratitude. The distribution Of the funds
collected was to me subject OF solicitous

Tobacco InsDections.

The Supreme Court OF the United States
decided on Monday in favor OF the State a
case arising under the Maryland inspection
Laws. The point made was that the law
was unconstitutional in that it levied tax
upon tobacco exported TO Germany, (or
elsewhere,) The Constitution Of the United
States providing that no tax shall he laid
upon exports except so much &c may be
necessary to proper inspection. The SUI
preple Court Of the United States adiudged
the law constitutional. 1t says:
"The tobacco il grown with these regtl-
lations in force, and the State has right
TO say what shall be lawful merchautabe
tobacco. This is really all that has been
done in regard to the tobacco in question.
The most significant statement made in
the opinion Of the court is the following
ain this case no inspection is involved
except that OF tobacco grown in Maryland,
and we must not be understood as express
ing any opinion as to any provisions OF
the Maryland laws which refer TO the in
spection OF tobacco grown out OF Mary
land"
Which is to intimate that il the Maryland
inspection laws discriminate against tobac-
co grown sn other States, the Supreme
Court may, when a proper case comes be-
fore it, pronounce those laws unconstitu-
fiona.

To ,ne s,a,c Central Committee.
WASHINGTON COUNTY, VA,
February 5, 1883. }


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
The Democratic party Of Virginia has
been divided into factions for ten years OF
more upon local State issues. Those isslles
have been settled so far as political parties
can settle them. 1t is now matter OF the
first importance that the two wings OF the
party. formerly known as Funders and r.
adiusters, should be reunited under The
broad banner OF pure Democracy. ms
can be accomplished only by thorough
and complete Reorganization OF the party
in State convention.
But one wing OF the party is represented
in its official management. The RCadJuster
Democrats have no voice on any committee
and are heard only ~ individuals. They
are entitled TO official recognition, and the
sooner they receive il the better. We are
together in sentiment, let us be together In
active work. Massey and Fulkerson were
defeated for Congress because they were
candidates without the official recognition
Of the party. l know that they both lost
many votes in this district for that reason
alone. Let lis re0rganiZe ut once ana be
prepared TO meet the foe at every turn with
solid front. If we would reclaim the Ninth
district in the fall, we should give battle in
the spring.
The Republican party, under the lead Of
Malone, is preparing for the fight all over
the State, and will win If we do not put
ourselves in readiness to meet him. II we
will organize at once and put the party
under the control Of active, earnest young
men, we will beat Malone so badly in the
spring elections that our fall canvass will
be made without trouble. III by inaction
we give him the victory in the spring, the
fight will be doubtful in the fall. As the
man did in the snake-Show, let us "kill
'em wharuver we see 'em." r.

Political Points.

The Knoxville Herald thus sums up
party uiiierenecs: II Republicans favor
measure, that Is usually good enough
ground Tor Democratic opposition. And
u Democrats are seen going one way the
Republicans Immediately declare that rhe
other end Of the road Is the one they pro-
pose to travel.
Inc antl-monopoly movement IL assum-
ing considerable proportionsi in Indiana, and
bids iair 10 become an important factor in
the next State election. At Greenfield last
Thursday night an enormous meeting was
held, Mt which addresses were delivered
by several OF the most prominent men in
that part OF the State.
One thing il certain, SAYS the Lockport
Union, we must have a reform i'm our
method OF choosing United States senator's
or the Senate Will sink to q level which
will not even merit contempt. Ii this re-
form cannot be secured by choosing Legis-
latures OF sufficient integrity to be proof
against the Establishments OF wealth. then
let the choice OF senator's be- given over to
the people ut the earliest possible moment.
The Boston advertiser SAYS: The mys-
terry which surrounds the Pension Office
in Washington continues undated, though
at times certain amount OF light Is vOuct-
safed. II would be rash to condemn the
Bureau or even to critcise it; but the fact
is evident that no living person seems to
know the precise status and disbursements
OF the Bureau which pays ont hundreds OF
millions for value received twenty year,
ago.
The Senate Committee on Elections are
examining patent ballot-boXes, devised to
prevent cheating in voting, as bell-punches
prevent cheating on borse-cars. The
Springfield Republican says: We do not
think any ever will be, and it is hardly
worth while for the United States Senate
to fool away time with such notions. In
districts where people want TO cheat. and
where the officers OF election are in collu-
sion or sympathy with fraud, patent ball
lot-boX would be OF about rs much use rs
a mOuse-trap.
