The Washington Monument.

The last course of marble casing
and granite inside wall was put in
place on the great v ashington Mon
ument last Saturday, and it is now
five hundred feet high-the Hottest
structure ever raised by the hands
of men, with perhaps the exception
of the tower of Babel. The engin.
GERS in charge have commenced the
erection of the browning work which
will support the roof: This will add
fifty five feet more to the heighth of
the structure, making total height
above the foundation course of 555
feet.

Ex-Governor Alcorn has announc-
ed himself as p candidate for Con.
gress in the Bird, or river District
now represented by Judge Jetfords
This District is conceded to be Re-
publican under ordinary circumstan-
ces, and Caldwell, colored, and Judge
Jeffords the present incumbent are
working for the nomination. In the
event that Caldwell is nominated AL
corn will doubtless div ide the Re-
publican vote with him. and receive
the solid Democratic vote, but if the
nomination is secured by Jetfords, the
Democratic vote will go mainly to
him regardness of Alcorn's candidacy,
for he is in perfect harmony with the
general views of the people Of the
"overhowed district" in regard to
levee matters, while Alcorn though a
great friend to river and coast i'm
provements, has his own peculiar
views in regard to means and methods.

A special from Peekskill, n. Y,

Der of Plymouth Church, spent the
entiro morning with Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher. Gen. King had just
returned from Buffalo, where he had
gone at Mr.. Beecher's request to in
vestiqate the libelous stories circulat-
ed by an obscure newspaper about
Gov. Cleveland. The result of the
investigation was altogether favor
able to the Governor,aud Mr.. Beecher,
after expressing his pleasure at what
he heard, declared his intention of
continuing to give his fullest support
to Mr.. Cleveland. In conversation
subsequently Mr.. Beecher said he had
been undergoing judicial process,
but now the clouds have broken away
and he was beginning to understand
that these stories about Gov. Cleve-
land are untrue and a vile SANDER.
"You can say" he said warmly, "that

promulgated these stories as black

views in regard to means and methods.
Some of the State papers speak of low
much Mississippi timber is thought of
in Liverpool, whittier it goeth. and
among other foreign ship builders, and
what prices II brings. We mean timber
coming ont OF the Y zoo delta, in par
ticular. They fail to state that the
m oney, MS well as the timber, goes
abroad, too. Besides the few dollars
paid the wood choppers and raftsmen,
where is Mssissippl's gain? 1t is pretty
much as if a farmer should raise crop
OF corn, and npighhor should cone
along and rob him of it and hire the
farmer to gather It for him. Wherein
lies the difcrenc, ? Water Valley Cen
trail.
We suppose our friend of the Ger
trail will admit that in the natural
order of things this timber has to be
cut and marketed, and if this is so it
matters little to the people of Mis-
sissippi whether the man who profits
by it's removal lives in New Orleans,
New York or Liverpool, This much
we do know and are interested in,
the men who cut it and haul it to tie
streams, and raft it, ETC., draw their
wages in Mississippi and spend them
here, and that the wages paid to the
wood cutters and stave getters rep
resent large portion of the capital
invested in the business. We also
know that the high price of slaves
and oak timber is caused by the live
~ foreign demand, and that this de,
mnpd increases the wages of the
laborers in the forest and so adds tc
the amount of money disbursed in
our State; and we also know that the
men who buy the timber land and
clear it are vitality interested in fnd-
ing settlers to buy it of them for
farming purposes,an will in Missis
sippi as they have elsewhere, prove
excellent immigration agents.
If we can find lively demand in
Europe for our lumber, SO much the
better, for even though Europeans
buy the land and level the forests,
Mississippians who perform the
mammal labor pocket large proper
ton OF the gross proceeds and will
reap a golden harvest when the rich
lands in the delta that are being
cleared by the timber getters shall
be settled by the men of the plow.
10 the instance of English and
French lumber getters it is possible
that the net profits may go abroad,
but our contemporary hy little in
yestigation will find that the price OF
lomber in any great port of America
or Europe, chiefly represents the
cost Of getting out and transporta.
ton, and that it is not seldom the
case that the operator experiences
a loss instead of profit,

activities.
From his youth he had been living near
Winchester in Frederick county, Va. He
died at the age of 62 years, 10 months and
IL days. Though a minister of the Gospel
for y years, he found his place of labor as
a local preacher to afford opportunity for
all his physical force would allow. He
Joined the Virginia Annual Conference of
the United Brethren in Christ in 1867. He
was a member of the above church for
about SO years As Bible student few
were better informed. and it was his de-
light to defend the doctrines OF polemical
theology. His last sermon was before the
students of Shenandoah Seminary last
June. His illness was brief and his oft
repeated prayer for a peaceful hour in
which to die'' was granted. HI
He leaves widow and large family.

COLLIERTTOwN, VA. Sept. Is, 1884.
Dear Vi1ginidn: Our beautiful and pros
porous village is separated from Clifton
Forge by the North mountain and though
the distance between us is only about
twenty miles, this great natural barrier
prevents much intercourse, and we see and
know comparatively little of each other.
To our friend '.VERITAs. however, who,
through your columns of last week, sends
Old Alleghany's greetings to the Republi-
cans of the 10th district, we desire to re-
spond with the assurance that Old COL
lierstown Precinct will, on the 4th Of No
vember, rally to the standard of Blaine,
Logan and Yost to the tune of two hun
bred majority. The ball set in motion at
Lexington on the 1st instant, by our gal
liant nominee for Congress is gathering
velocity as it revolves,
And is destined, beyond doubt,
To roll Post IN. and Tucker out.
The campaign is not yet fairly opened in
Rockbridge, though the premonitory rum
blings and mutterings- evidences of the
approaching eruption, which will strand
old man Ran. high and dry are begin
ming to be heard.
Messrs. Yost and Tucker both had ap-
pointments to speak in Lexington on the
loO lllOotlU. \OOu1 U-udy.J AAuOA lOPCtoCu
efforts by Mr.. Yost's friends, Mr.. Tucker,
Ignorant of the fact that Mr.. Y ost was so
familiar with the minutiae of his official
record finally consented to joint discus
sion, the terms of which were dictated by
himself. We had seen and heard Mr..
Tucker in many joint discussions, but
never before have we witnessed the old
gentleman so thoroughly depressed and
before a Rockbridge audience.
Yost1s powerful exposures Of fuckers
official blunderings in Washington created
in his appreciative audience an enthusi-
assn which effectually gave the old man
the grins.' We thought at the time, and
suggested to Mr.. Yost afterwards, that he
was perhaps too cruel in his unmasking
exposure of his humbug opponent. Sub
sequent events have demonstrated that
Mr.. Tucker entertains a similar opinion,
for never since that day has John Ran
dolph Tucker been able to command the
courage necessary to enable him to meet
Jacob Y ost on the hastings.
Yost has him on the run-keep him
moving. Yours truly,
COLLIERST0WN.

DEATH OF MRS JAMES III. TRoTTER.-
On Friday morning last, at the residence
Of her father, DIR. l.. Triplett, at Mt.
Jackson, Va, Mrs. Kate Trotter, wife of
Mr.. Jas. II. Trotter, Of this place, died in
the 42d year of her age. The disease which
caused her death was consumption, from
which her life wasted gradually away. She
had been consistent member of the Pres
byterian Church for number Of years, and
was lady much esteemed for her many vir-
tues and accomplishments, The sad dis
pensation falls heavily on her faicted hus-
band and four little children, with whom
we sincerely sy4pathize,
