Virginla Democrats and the Tar
fH.

The Democratic State Central Con
mittee Of Virginia met yesterday il
Alexandria, and resolved to call thu
State Convention to meet in Richmond
on the 14th Of May. Resolutions wert
adopted expressing grave concern al
the threatened rupture of the Demo
cratic party on the tariff question, and
declaring the opinion of the COMMITTEES
individually that the agitation of this
question at this period is unwise, and
should be discouraged, and that all
Democrats should subordinate all diff.
ferences in contention upon the
one great issue Of reform of the
Government, and its restoration to
purity and true constitutional princi-
PIES" A resolution was also adopted
urging the Virginia Democratic Dele
cation in Congress, to use all possible
diligence to bring before the Danville
Investigating Committee the evidence
which is necessary to refute the foul
and infamous ISLANDERS which have been
given to the public by the leaders of
the Coalition party in reference to this
matter, and that this committee author
lie their chairman to retain the services
of such counsel as he may deem neces-
sary in the premises.

For ten years or more the world possessed

Morphy of old. He hated tie sight of
chess board, and could not be brought to

ne was once the greatest master. Although
eccentric and unsocable, his friends still
loved him and his death was a blow

ticea
With his wonderful powers of memory and
brilliant intellect, Paul Morphy would have
been leader at the bar. As it was, he gave
TO chess-playing brilliant name and an en-
thusiastic impetus which has led TO wonder
full progress in the game. Anecdotes Of
Morphy's skill, his almost miraculous men,
Dry and personal traits would fill volumes.

his friends that for the nonce they could
neither recollect "reminiscences nor even re-

SAYS: We found here new invention for

for the mother in-law 10 take willow dust
pan and fan the little creature until life is ex-
tinct. The doctor found one young mother
weeping over the murder of her infant. whom
the mother-in-l law had allowed 10 live two
weeks before smothering it. The poor girl
sick and weak. yet she was pushed about
and kicked like dog. and scofged at when
she wept. The husband is helpless in such
case. Ii n son is the frst-boln, the Young
mother is tolerated, il a daughter her lot is
most miserable The only retributiou feared

boys came TO schoolmistreSs to be taught

their names were Wallace and Mitchell
Those were the only names they hal, or, at

name or other to enter in her book. 50 She sent
for the father of the boys. But he didn't ha We
any las, name His name was simply Pete and
he was always called Uncle Pete He had
been a slave, he said, and his boys had been
born in slavery, and he didn't suppose he
was Of enough Importance TO deserve two
names.
"Bnt the boys must have family nane
