to learn that Capt. Gideon Barnhart, who has
been an invalid for long time, is well enough
again to visit his friends. He was in Staunton
on last Friday, looking very well and was very

them. We hope that he may live many years

GENERAL HOOPS CHILDREN.-Two
young lady passengers who arrived at New
York Saturday in the steamship Elder
brought with them the remembrance of
family tragedy of great interest now some
years old. They are are twin sisters, An
mabel and Ethel, daughters of the late Cen
eral John B. Hood, famous as Confeder-
ate commander. General Hood was the
father of nine children, including three pairs
of twins, when his wife and he in quick
succession succumbed to yellow-fever in
New Orleans Warm hearts refused to let
the interesting orphans suffer lack of care
and affection, and the three sets of twins
were adopted by kind friends-Mr. McGill,
wealthy planter of Mississippi. taking one
pair; Mr.. Adams, wealthy New Yorker,
who owns a summer-house at Newport,
taking the second, and Mr.. John A. Morris,
of New Orleans, relative by marriage OF
Mrs. Hood, the third. The lastnamed pair
are the sisters Annabel and Ethel, who for
four or five years have been studying in
Hanover, Germany. They came to New
York for visit to their kind foster father,
at his beautiful country place in Westches-
ter county, New York.

In his speech on the Utah bill in the Ser

In his speech on the Utah bill in the Sen
ate, Mr.. Brown contrasted the polygamy of
New England with that of Utah, and said
there had been $4,000 divorces granted in
New England within the last twenty years,
thus destroying that many families. He
also said that prostitution was practiced in
New England to an alarming extent, and
feticide to an extent that if continued would
in less than century depopulate that sec
ton of it's Puritan stock. The worst of it
is that every word of what the Georgia
Senator said was true, and was obtained
from statistics prepared by New England
ers in New England, And yet New Eng
land is the natural home of the republican
party, and, according to the shining lights
of that party, is the ''high morale section
of the country. In the Glow moral" South
snch thing as divorce is rarely heard of,
and when case does occur, it is such an
anomaly that it becomes not only town but
State talk for months, if not for years.

A SHOWER WITHOUT PARALLEL.-It
is unhesitatingly asserted by the oldest in
habitant that the rain of Sunday evening
(May 25th) was the heaviest that ever fell,
in the same length of time, in the neigh
borhood of Monterey. The cloud, which
proved to contain within itself sea OF
water, was entirely devoid of all angry,
storm-like appearance resembling some
what heavy mist or fog-and rose slowly
over the mountain west of town. In an IN
slant the rain began falling in torrents,
causing promenaders and corner loafers to
seek shelter under the nearest roof. From
-5k until o'clock, the atmosphere seemed
one vast sheet of water, and main street
had more the appearance of young Poto-
mac than dusty highway.
The deluge seemed confined to narrow
belt of country, and at no point north OF
south, beyond distance OF half a mile,
was there one-fourth the rainfall as at this
place.
The streets, cutters, bitches, &C., were
thoroughly washed out, and such result
cannot fail to conduce to the good health OF
the own.-Highland Recorder.

THE MAYOR SHAKES MANY HANDS


The visitors spent Monday and Tuesday at
Hampton and Fortress Monroe. There they
made it point to testify, by special courtesies
to Maj. Newton, President of the 5th Veterans,
their appreciation of the hospitality shown
them by him and the 5th Veterans, and to Vir-
ginians generally. At the Soldiers Home in
Hampton there were seven hundred veteran
inmates, gathered in the theatre attached TO
that Institution, to welcome the 18th. Colonel
Brown, who was upon the stage, invited Major
Newton up from the audience, and when he
appeared on the stage in his ex-Confederate
suit he was received by the old veterans with
the widest cheering. Maj. N. made them a
brief speech, describing how the reunion was
brought about. When about to part, Tuesday
afternoon, the 2Sth veterans met in the parlor.
and forming in line, insisted on each one shak-
ing the Major by the hand. They had previous
~ passed resolutions thanking him

followed few moments later by dyna-

covery under the Nelson monument, in the
same neighborhood, of large quantity of
dynamite, the failure of which to explode
with disastrous effect to the crowds of pass
ers and loungers was due to defective
fuse. Buildings in Pail Mall and in st.
