Mr.. blaine on the Viee.Presidency.

WAsHIHCToS, June g.-Mr. Blaine said
recently: The environments OF the vice
Presidential Office are such as TO make the
administration Of a President who became

that Martin Van Buren, OF New YORK, went
from the Vice Presidency TO the Presiden-

Vice Presidents from New York two have

The Americas Rifle Team.
There seems to be some trouble among
those who are running the financial de-
paTtment OF the team. There IS not enough
money subscribed as yet to take the team
over the water, and unless the requisite
amount is "ponied up" by Tuesday next the
Wimbledon match will be declared of and
our team must necessarily be the. laughing
stock Of the Englishmeu. It's great pity
that in great sporting country like the

the British team, especially when our rifle

CHABLOTTSYILLE, VA, June 9.-The neg

long been the subject Of comment, and the
national Government has at last erected a

may say. In case Mccormick quits the

that the stamp would be sent on in few

The Sunday Law
as regards groceries, cigars, tobacco, ETC., is
pretty generally observed in this city. But
the sale of the foaming lager and the fiery
whisky on the Sabbath goes right on unin:
terruptedly. There is not single licensed
saloon in town, yet man can get drunk
on the worst whiskey that any man ever
touched. A few sensible persons are ad.
vOcating license, but the fanatics will not
listen TO it. This city, if it had license,
would Ue far better off than it is from a
moral standpoint, besides, some extra
money would be put in the citys Golfers,
and then maybe the street lamps could be
kept burning all night instead OF being
turned off at 10 o'clock, rainy or cloudy
weather.

A DEATH BED VISION.

NEw YORK, June "A remarkable story
is told in connection with the death oI
James Langdon, clerk in the tax office,
which occurred on Tuesday evening last.
A short time after his body had been re.
moved from the room in which he died ia
the parlor in front, married and single
daughter of the deceased entered the vaCa
ted room, and bcheld, as they say. an ap
partition. which they describe as q small
blue light of dazzling brilliancy. The light
which was almost the size Of an ordinary
candle flame, went about the bed in which
Mr.. Langdon had died IN the form OF a cir
Gle, and disappeared when the young la

braced aud
Uttered Piercing Cries.
The younger sister has not yet recovered
from the shock. Both saw the apparition
at the same time.
Another singular circumstance related
by the friends Of the diseased is, that the
clock in the Office in which he had worked
for nearly quarter OF a century stopped
at : 20 T.. W. on Monday night while Mr..
Isudons death occurred at : 20 +. N. the
following evening. The clock Is still stop
