A Live Man in the Hearse.

When returning to this city a few
days ago from Belle Isle, where he had
made burial, an undertaken overlook
decrepit oldGerman who had scarcely
vitality enough to drag himself out of
the way of the undertakers team. Per-
ceiving the condition of the Old man,
the undnrtaker refined his horses and
asked him where he was going "Hotel,
Geddes,, y he said. would yc@ like to
rider" the undertaken asked. s'Yah!n
was the curt reply. The urGlertaker
got down from his high seat and told
the worn travler that the only place he
had for him to ride was within the
hearse, and if he would ascept snch
accommodations he was per fectly well
come to do so. "All right" he said,
and the undertaken threw open the
doors of the hearse and ASST sted the old
man into it. He placed his bundle I'M
derneath his head, lay doewn on the
floor of the hearse, and the undertaken
closed the doors and resuIned his Jour-
ney. Canal boys stopped their horses,
passers-by gazed in amazement, small
boys followed the hearse for miles, and
dumfounded people looked out from
their windows or front yards at the
strange spectacle. 'Stop! the mans
not deadr' shouted a crowd just outside
the limits of Geddes, but the undertake
er drove on all the more rapidly, with
the threatening yells of the crowd ting
ing in his ears. When the undertaken
reached Geddes he released his passen-
ger, who was profuse in his thanks for
the hospitality extended. Between one
and two hundred people collected at
the spot where the man was let out
and demanded an explanation of the
undertaken, who drove away without
satisfying them.-jSyracpse en- ~

How to Carry Concealed Weapons. {"

A certain young man who was fined
in Cobb Superior Court the sum- of forty
dollars for carrying pistol concealed
some time thereafter had occasion to de-
liver pistol to a party in town, and, to
be on the safe side, he got a ten-foot pole
and tied the pistol to the end of the
same. He then hoisted che pole to
which dangled the pistol and started
across town. To his utter surprise he
met Judge James R. Brown, who was
considerably tickled at the precautio1
act of the young man to expose fully to
view the pistol, and he remarked
THAT is very commendable in you. l
thought that forty dollars fine would
make you good, law-abiding citizen. Z"
The young man expressed the opinion
that the mode adopted in carrying the
pistol was not quite as handy, but it was
less costly.-Marietto ga. Journal.

DIR. Horace I. Evans, of Philadel-
phia. believes mushrooms contain some
of the poisonous property which, when
present in excess, cause accidents-that
is, sickness and death from eating
mushrooms. Even those which are or
dinarily considered safest and best
are at times Objectionable, owing to
conditions affecting their growth. This
explains why experts in the selection of
edible fungi are sometimes mistaken.
1t isn't their fault, but the fault of the
mushrooms, which are evidently dam
gerous luxury. Heath Monthly. ST.

The Lynchburg Viiyindala refers to ole
of the editors of the VALLEY VIRGINIAN
as having been "once Democrat, then q
Republican and now a Mahoneite by af-
filiation." We were too good Democrat
to support Greeley in 1872. as our cotem-
porary did, and when we found that what
was once the Democratic party had surren-
dered every principle it had ever main
tained and that the Republican party had
adopted all that was good in the old Dem
ocratic and Wing parties, we declared our
allegiance to it. But how is it with the
Lynchburg editor? He was a Wing, then
a Known othing, then True Republic
can, then a Conservative, and how Dem
ocrat, without a principle in State or Ma
tional affairs that he will dare avow. The
sum of his political faith, is opposition to
Malone. And for what Because Ma
hone has been the recognized leader of the
forces which have pitched the Viryiaaan
and it's sympathizers out of office and pro-
poses to keep them out. And yet this
political paragon adopts the
Democratic platform which endorses all
that the ''MahoneiteS" have done, so far
as State policy is concerned, except, we
presume, kicking the Bourbons out of Of

O Gerge w. Hevener.

The Readjuster Convention to nominate
candidate for the House of Delegates
from the counties of Highland, Bath and
Allegheny counties. which met at Warm
Springs last week, selected Geo. Wash.
Hevener, of Highland county, for the po-
sition. Mr.. Hevener is a brother of VIM.
Hevener, of New Hampden, and one of
the successful farmers of his native coun-
sty, residing in Crab Bottom. He is a
gentleman Of excellent judgment and bu-
siness experience, and would make safe,
reliable, practical representative. We have
known Mr.. H. for many years, and his
father before him, and can conscientiously
commend him to the support of every Re-
adjuster and Republican in the counties
which comprise the district. His father
was one of the old wheel horses of Democ-
racy when to be Democrat meant some
thing. The son sympathized with the SEN
timent entertained by the father, and is
now better Democrat than any of those
who proclaim the name from the house
tops after they have abandoned the pri,a-
ciples of that party. Wash Heyener is
true to the Democracy of the People, and
not that of the courthouse rings. He
believes in the doctrine that the people
are the source of power under our form of
government, and not the shylocks and
corporation kings, who would use the Peo-
pie as mere catspaws to do their bidding.
We have the utmost confidence in the
sterling devotion of the people of High
land, Bath and Allegheny to the great
cause Mr.. Hevener has been called upon to
represent, and that they will give to him
that united and earnest support necessary
to success. His opponent is an astute, plaus-
ible, talented lawyer, but cannot feel and
think for the pastoral and agricultural
people of that district as Mr.. Hevener is
capable of doing. We are sure no better
selection than Mr.. Hevener could have
been made, and we shall be much disap-
pointed if he is not elected by an increased
majority. .4e29p 90

Well, what is the world coming to any
way, since our contemporary of the Vindi-
Gator has found it in it's heart to rail at
rings, " and court house rings, at that I?
The party it supports has been run by a
little town clique for many years past, and
the Vindicator has always put i'm it's best
blows for the success of it's candidates.
Indeed, but for it's earnest and effective
support, the ring would long since have
been a thing of the past. But now it SIM
ulates virtuous indignation against rings
This may be accounted for on the hypoth-
esis that the people are dissatisfied with
the last deal of the court house ring, and
our contemporary wants to direct their at
ton to another than the real cause of their
dissatisfaction. 1t is possible that the in
iluence OF the VIRGINIAN has converted
the indicator and brought it to acknowl-
edge its past errors. We are aware that
thei VIRGINIAN has a pronounced infiu
ence in the State with the ''best people,"
but we could hardly flatter ourselves that
1t was so powerful as to bring to the stool
OF repentance and the confessional so in
corrigible political sinner as the Vi,adi-
Gator. Wonders will never cease.

Our friend Barbee, of the Bridgewater
Journal, is giving the Coalition party of
Rockingham some wholesome advice. He
says that there is too little of the voice
of the people and too much of manipula-
ton among the leaders, y for effective and
successful work. The Coalition party was
called into existence because of the rings
and cliqHes which dominated the late Con-
sentative party. The most offensive meth
DDS of that despotic organization are find
ing Judgment with the new party, under
Readjuster direction, and unless there is
a halt called, there will be a revolt that
will teach the assumed leaders that the
people are in earnest about these matters.
The people are never consulted-the inter-
ests of the party are not considered 1t is
place for particular persons. whatever may
be the consequences. Party organization
and discipline are observed when it suits
the purpose of the particular few to do SO.
When it is necessary to accomplish the
object desired, the organization is secuted
and individual behests recognized. The
Governor, even. has been lead into en-
couraging this reprehensible policy. There
is no leadership in this. 1t is the most
arrogant bossism, which the people will
never tolerate. If the Coalition party has
no higher mission than to be the instru-,
ment of subscribing the selfish ends OF
scheming, second-rate politicians, then
the sooner it is dissolved the better. In
all things the broadcast recognition should
be given to the people. 1t is such recog-
milton that has given the Coalition it's
success heretofore-a protest against the
ring methods Of the Bourbons. We have
for twelve years been fighting ring rule
and we mean to continue to fight it,
whether it makes its appearance in one
party or another. The people are the power
in this government, and they should be
the power in parties as well as in govern
ment.
