Hon. r. H. RoBB, of Horseshoe
Bend, churns his butter by water
power. All he has to do is to turn on
the stream, and the butter machine
goes to work, the churn dasher betting
the cream in rapid time. This is a
big improvement on the old method
of agitating the extract of COW by
arm power.

Lost in the wilderness.

Last TUESDAY, aDOuJ O'CLOCK,
title daughter Of J. Moore wandered
rom home, says the St. Helens, Ore q
gon Mist. The account says her
mother missed her in short time and L
search was commenced at once. The i,
parents hunted till dark, when Mr.. S.
Curtis, O. F. Wonderly, j. L. Mes
erve and VIM. Meserve went to their
assistance. They searched the woods
until O'Clock. They found two tracks
three-quarters Of mile from home,
on the Downing road, but could find
no trace and as there were bear tracks
there also it was feared that it had
been carried off by a bear. The
searchers were like the foolish virgins
their oil burned out and left them in
darkness so they returned home for
more help. Mr.. Moore built fire
near the place where they tracked it
and kept up the search. 1t hardly

a faint cry Of ''here" came from the

found her mired in the mud, over one

wade through the mud almost over
his boot tops to reach her. Without
supper and after walking a mile and

was unable to 60 farther, and to KEEP
from drowning she held herself up by

The Washington Post Of Wednesday re-
peats it's statements, heretofore comment
ed on by us, that the only revenue legisla-
ton the house will agree to at this session
is tariff legislation. The Post knows that
such a course would be cowardly on the
part of democratic house, for, as we'll
Informed newspaper, it knows these
thing -
First. That the Government revenue is
derived chiefly from two sources, viz: Gus
toms and internal taxes.
Second. That the internal taxes collect
ed by reason of the manner of their collec-
ton, held to be necessary if they are TO be
collected at all, are outside of the amount
of tax money to be paid, oppressive to a
degree upon several hundred thousand pro
ducers in the Southern States; unequal as
between the people of the States, and de-
moralizing.
Third. That a tariff, however drawn,
bears equally upon the people of all the
States and sections, and imposes no re-
strictions upon the manner in which pro-
ducers shall raise or dispose Of their crop.
If there is a party or other necessity fol
retaining the internal revenue bureau, it is
probable that the people of Virginia will
yield to it as gracefully as they may. But
why call the perpetuation of such mon
strosity s'revenue reform ?'-Inde1-Ap
peal.
The Lynchburg AdUance copies the above
and adds: We tell the Post that General
Washington could not carry democratic
district in Virginia if be was opposed to the
repeal of the tobacco tax and restrictions
nor do we believe he could carry one if he
was opposed to the repeal of the system
The reason is that no man will be nomina
ted in any Virginia district who dares tt
say he is in favor of taxing tobacco and re
stricting it's sale. AS to the details Of q
tariff bill, majority of our people being
farmers and planters, care little: they pre-

on the details of reasonable protection

The ''Impudent'' Reporter Abroad.

There was time when the American in
terviewer was supposed to be SUI generts.
The inquistorial faculty has certainly been
cultivated by him to the highest pitch of
perfection. Celebrities and notabilities are
his game, and he hunts them with persis-
tency that nothing daunts, and whenever
and wherever he catches them, with the
boldness and sang froid Of the highwayman
of old, he makes them ''stand and deliver. !"
British tours is have frequently been warn
ed that these professional hunters of men
and women consider no place too sacred for
intrusion, nor any individual too high i'll
rank to escape being levied upon for all
that they think or feel or know or imagine.
For such as these the interviewer adds a
new terror to travel. Nevertheless, on the
whole, these visitations are taken good-hu-
moredly, and if the world is not much the
gamer by the information thus impaired,
the curiosity is gratified of that part of ev-
cry community which takes an interest in
public persons and in their minntest actions.
But in these latter days the interchangeable
American reporter has foreign rivals who
carry their researches to quite as great a
length, and who trespass Oil the privacy of
individuals quite as boldly. In the new
diary of Queen Victoria she complains OF
the manner in which, while rusticating in
Scotland, reporters hung upon her footsteps.
At Glencoe she writes: "The day was most
beautiful and calm. sat down on the grass
for luncheon. Then I sketched. Here,
however, here in this complete solitude we
were spied on by impudent, inquisitive re-
porters, who followed us everywhere. One
in particular, who writes for some Scotch
paper, lay down and watched us with a
telescope logged me and Beatrice when we
were walking about, and was most imper-
tinent when Brown went to tell him to
move. He went away at last. Brown came
back saying he thought there would have
been fight, for when Brown said the Queen
wished him to move away, he said he had
quite as good right to remain there as the
Queen had. Brown answered very strong
ly that the highest gentlemen of England
would not do what he did, much less a
manly reporter. Other reporters came up
and advised the man to come away quiet
ly." 1t is evident that the old divinity"
that was at one time supposed to shedge a
king" is no longer even in England a part
of the creed of a Scotch reporter, and that
even The dignity of John. Brown was ruf1ed
to the fighting point when the man with the
telescope who was told to 60 away replied
that che had quite as good right to remain
there as the Queen had" After this, re-
porters in our republic, where every man is
a sovereign and where one sovereign is no
better than any other. may feel excused
whenever live lord, or a conspicuous poll
tcian, vocalist, or actor or actress falls in
his way, if he describes how they look, what
they were doing when he fixed his telescope
glance upon them, and insists upon their
telling him all he wants to know.-BaH.

THE TARIFF QUEsTIoN.-This phrase is
producing some excitement in the country
and among different Democrats. There is
this difference between Republicans and
Democrats One is for u tariff to raise rev.
emile to support the government, the other
is for revenue TO protect manufactures.
Which are You for? This decides the mat
ter between the Democratic and Republi-
can party-this is the constitutional ques-
ton as we'll as the issue of policy. Now,
the matter of adjusting and fixing the incl
dental protection which tariff for revenue
gives is matter solely for the Democratic
party to be decided by it's Congress, when
it shall have one-its President, when it
shall elect one. Protection direct is Re.
publicanism. Revenue direct is Democra-
CIV. Protection as a right is Republicanism;
protection as an incidental privilege is De-
mocracy. Now, why quarrel among our
selves about detail g. which at present we
cannot arrange; reforms, which at present
we cannot make? Why not abide by the
Democratic principle, sound, just and fair,
set forth in the Virginia platform, and wait
upon the matter of details. tire dollars
and cents of reform, the specific per cent
of duties until the Democratic party has
power to arrange, construct, enact and en-
force a revenue system. Ad-

The Difference.

TWAS all right when Mahoneites had con-
troll of the State to turn out not only the
Boards of the State Institutions but en-
ployees also, and for no other reason than that
they we're democrats; but now it is the vilest
partizanism for the Legislature to make any
changes in these Boards unless charges are
preferred against them. What more charges
do YOU want than the fact that these Boards
are all filed with Mahoneites, who were
put there merely because they were Ma
honeites and for no other reason under the
sum- That is a sufficient reason for turn
ing them out, no other is needed.
The people elected this Legislature for
that very purpose, and it would be derelict
in its duty, did it not carry out the wishes
of the people, wherever it can do so consti-
tutionally.
No charges were needed for Cameron to
turn out the Board of Visitors Of the Uni
yersity Of Virginia.
No charges were preferred when he re.
moved the School Boards of Stanton land
of Richmond.
There were no charges against the trus
tees of the Richmond Medical College,
when he attempted without a shadow o.
understanding even to- ahone's Supreme
Court-to turn these officers out and put il
a partizan set.
No, indeed, no charges were needed, il
was sufficient that the incumbents wer'
democrats, and out they must 60.
The precedent was set by Malone, anst
they have no right now to complain that
is followed by the Democrats. The fac
that these offices were filed by Mahoneite
for partizan purposes, and for that alone
is a sufficient reason, why they should nov
be vacated.
