At the banquet on Wednesday night
an invitation was read from Mrs Izod,
on the part of the Lady managers, to the
grand lodge, to visit the asylum at some
hour yesterday, and the same was unan
im0usly accepted; hut the great amount
of business before tie grand lodge, and
the limited time for disposing thereof,
prevented the proposed visit. As good
substitute, however, Past Grand Master
j. L. Power offered the following, which
was adopted, and the sum of $50 added
to the asylum treasury:
This grand lodge acknowledges the
courtesy Of an invitation to visit the
Protestant Orphan Asylum, bat our
limited time not permitting us to accept
the same, we tender our best wishes to
the lady managers of that noble instr
tuition that has afforded food, raiment,
and mental, moral and religious culture
for nearly seventy years to the orphans
committed to their care. We bid them
God-speed in their labors of love and
mercy, and commend this great charity
to our lodges and individual brethren as
a most appropriate and worthy object-of
their generous remembrance. And in
order to give greater force to this recon
mendation we accompany same with
our personal contributions to the asy-
lum.

summed up his situation last night a few
minutes before he leaped from the central
span of the bridge into the darkened river
one-half hundred feet below As he was
climbing over the falling newspaper car
rier named Joseph Burtcher observed him
and running up asked him what he i'm
tended to do. ITO bid good-by 10 the
world, young man, and YOU must not try
to prevent me-" Burtcher saw that the
speaker was an old man, aud wlthal
very heavy one, weighing in the neighbor-
hood of $50 pounds. He made up his |
mind TO endeayor to prevent the man and |
grasped him stoutly about the shoulders !
and head. The old man stood on narrow |
strip outside the railing, on the south side |
Of the bridge, and there was nothing be-
tween him and the water except the strong /
hands on his shoulders. The man strug-
gled, and Burteher yelled to another citi-
zen for assistance.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Whatever the political bearings, and we
imagine thoy will be of small consequence,
the Virginia court clearly decided the elec-
tion law case involving the election officers.
At this late day no freehold qualification can
be allowed as to the right of suffrage or as to
ono of the first that appeared in Virginia poll
tics, in the Bacon rebellion. Strange that
il should vex Virginia courts to-day. Best
leave all that sort Of thing to Rhode Island
Cincinnati News- Journal
The Cincinnati Commercial. Gazette is posi-
tive that Jim Blaine could carry Ohio, but in

Tho concert at the Congregational church
last evening for the benefit of st. Andrews

and the attendance was quito large. st.
Andrews choir was assisted by Misses Minnie
Evan, Emma Detweiler, and Zelle Minor,
the Apollo club, under tho direction of DIR. L.
S. Kmball aud Prof. BischoG. The pro-
grammo was carefully arranged, and
each number was greatly enjoyed. Tho
vocal numbers wero "Tho Palms." by Mr..

Baxter; tho duet from "Mephistofeles," by
Misses Evan and Detwoilor. Arditrs "Le

wero excellent. Encores were abundant,
showing how thoroughly the entertainment
was appreciated by the audience.

Carleton's poetry that deserves tho highest

ARTHUR IN TIE SOUTH.
Why the Southern Delegates VIII Stand
by Hin, Tul the Last.

AsHEvILLE, N. c., May 12.-The regular
spring term of the United States district
court convened at this place on the 9TH in
slant, his honor, Judge Dick, presiding This
court brings together large number Of the
hardy mountaineers of this section, and an
unusually large number have como in on this
occasion. The object uppermost in the minds
of these people after their court business is
politics. And here have had the best kind
of chance to learn the views of the un-
sophisticated rustics on public men and
parties. These people with one accord are
entirely pleased with the quiet and success
ful administration of President Arthur
Republicans ofintluonce and standing are
greatly astonished to learn through the news
papers that any considerable number of their
northern friends really desire change,
The well-informed politicians in the
south, and quite number of the delegates to
the convention, say the Presidents admins
tration has been SO fully Endorsed by nearly
every republican convention in ward, county,
and state that his nomination appears to
them well-assured fact.
1t is claimed that this Endorsement means
nothing short of full authority 10 the dele
gates from nearly every state to vote for him.
While in many cases the conventions have
thought it proper TO compliment other caudi-

feelings toward men for whom they entertain
great respect, this expression of confidence in
tho President and Endorsement of his course
is the reason given by the southern delegates
for standing in SO firmly and unitedly
for him. They appreciate the fact
that republican president can only be
elected by the northern states, and would
deem it wrong in this section to force upon
the northern states man Objectionable to
them. In this case the southern delegates
are only proposing to stand by the man who
has received the unqualified approval of oil
the republicans throughout the country, and
who is pro-eminently the first choice Of their
constituency.
These southern people, without regard to
their politics, have q very considerable mar
tial spirit in their mako up, and if it shall
become necessary for the delegates to make
a second choice in candidates at Chicago or
rather to express their second choice, they
will naturally drift TO one of tho great mill
tary men of the union army, with whom they
have tho best acquaintance. If it shall be
clearly decided that Mr.. Arthur cannot be
nominated the delegates from tho south will

WORTH MORE THAN GOLD.
French Women Who Sell Their Hair
Every Four Years.

Human hair goods are worn moro now
than thoy ever were," said dealer who does
a large business in such articles. "All classes
of ladies wear them-young, middle-aged, and
old-some for use, but moro for ornament
Men wear wigs only when they cannot help
it. Won en- wear false hair to add to their
charms. Short hair is in demand now, in
the form of Lisbon and sea-foam waves an
frizzes, and the favorite color is chestnut
brown. The golden shade so much in fashion
few years ago, has fallen so per cent in
price,"
"whore does the supply of artificial hair
come trom?"
Nearly all from France and Germany,
with q little from other parts Of the conti-
nent and England. The largest quantity
| and best quality is from Franco. 1t is not
the hair Of the dead persons, as many imag-
inc, but comes from the heads Of living
peasant girls. 1t is gathered by pedders,
who buy it for tri1e--a silk handkerchief,
or some other trile which pleases the fancy.
There are in France regular 'hair-raisers'-
that is girls who have their hair cut for sale
every four years."
"What is tho most expensive kind of
hair?"
Natural silver white, like this, is worth
! S1S or $50 an ounce; so you see il Is worth
moro than its weight in gold. Bleached white
hair is worth only So an ounce. Natural hair

| Tho value of different colors of hair depends

most useless to u.s."

ments made in your art in late yearsP"
Yes indeed. You could tell the old fash
ioned wig a mile of, but now can make q
wig that will defy detection. A great many

Here the hair dealer, greatly to the surprise
of tho reporter lifted up what was to all
appearance the natural hair on tho top of his
head and disclosed Uranium as bare as a
billiard ball.

"Ah, you may see many pretty blonde on

reciprocity with most of tho countries with
which we exchange products, and in admitting
the products of any foreign country free

that some similar concession is made by that
Same country in favor of American products.
We put coffee on the FREQ list and Brazil

Brazil maintains tho export duty on coffee,
which keeps up the price on the American

To ADD to the discontinue and disgrace of

cnacting clause of tho Morrison bill aud by
