A Virginia Belle

A Virginia reporter thus describes the
belle of a ball he recently attended:
Complexion, neither blonde nor brunette.
lowering between the dawn and sunrise
of a summers morning; eyes, besides
whose arrows Cupid's keenest darts are
only fit for killing frogs or clams-eyes
that drive the very stars of heaven dis
tracted with envy. Lashes more glori-
Ously silken than ever fringed the lids Of
Oriental houri. Hair in which 10000
sunbeams nestle, darkly bright, fine as
gossamer threads, but forming network
which scores Of masculine strugglers
have found powerful as the green withes
that bound Delilah's Samson. NIatchIess
in grace. MarvelousIy gifted in wowan's
grand Observation-Disclosures. Tones soft
as the sOftest warbling of a flute on
trOpic seas at twiigat. A polar star in
every thrOng, toward whom all mascu-
line compasses point with constant fin
ger. A magnet strong enough to turn a
whole battalion topsy-tUrvy and bring
the planets rushing from their far-off
spheres. LoveHer. more enchanting crea-
lures never fitted through the paradise
of rarest poets dream. Describe her?
Were my pen quill from the pinion of
the Hottest seraph that burns in cleaning

CITY NOTES.

A youth went forth to serenade
The lady whom he loved the best,
And at her house his footsteps stayed
Until the moon had gone to rest.
He warbled till the morning light
Came dangling DER the hilltop's rim;
But no fair maiden blessed his sight,
And all seemed dark and drear to him.
With heart agIow and eyes abIaze
He drew much nearer than before,
When, to his horror and amaze,
He saw "To Let" upon the door.
= E. W. Green advertises veal for every

Proceedings of the jury of Inquest.
The jury met promptly at ? p. IN. of
June End according to adjournment.
Capt. Bravo, of the Anita, was recalled
and exhibited a map of the river in the
vicinity of Buffalo Bluff, and explained
the diagrams showing the courses of the
steamers. Capt. Lucas, of the Princess,
was recalled, and testified that he was
constantly at the wheel from the time of
leaving Palatka till he left his boat to
rescue Mr.. Miller.
Mr.. Abbott F. Wade, mate of the Ami
ia, testified that when he first saw the
Princess both lights could be distin-
guished: suddenly he saw only the green
light and rushed to the side, realizing
that a collision was imminent. He saw
the boats come together. One of the
deck hands said there was a man in the
wheel, and the witness immediately after
heard some one cry out in the river. He
asked the Captain to back the boat,
which was done, and the life-boat picked
up Mr.. Miller. The witness looked care
fully for any other party who might be
in the water Witness holds licenses
both as master and pilot on the st.
Johns; is of opinion that always there
was ample room between the Anita and
the east shore for the largest steamers to
pass. Heard only one whistle from the
Princess, and one in answer from the
Anita. According to the rules, with
only these signals, the Princess should
have passed between the Anita and the
east shore. and should have never crossed
the Anita's bow.
Capt. r. J. Adams testified that with
the exchange of one whistle only each
boat should have gone to the right; there
was good water near the eastern shore.
On being questioned by the Coroner,
witness said he had often seen r. W.
Lucas in such condition that he was I'M
fit to be entrusted with the command Of
a passenger steamer.
The jury then adjourned till seven a.
m. on June 3rd, when the Coroner, at
torney for the State, and jury will visit
the location of the accident. Their YER
diet will probably be rendered to-day.

How Watch Cases are Made.

A plate of SOLID GOLD IA 2-10 karats
fine is soldered on each side of plate of
hard nickel composition metal, and the
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this plate the various
parts ofthe cases-baclks, centers, bezels, etc.
are cut and shaped by dies and formers.
The gold is thick enough to admit of all
kinds of chasing, engraving. and engine
turning. The composition metal gives it
needed strength, stiffness and solidity, while
the written guarantee of the manufacturers
Varrantiag each case to wear twenty years
proves that it contains all the gold that
can possibly be needed. This guarantee
is given from actual results, as many of
these cases have been worn perfectly smooth
