Virginia Enterprise: One of the most discreditable features of American journalism is the publication, not only by country weeklies, but even by some of the great dailies. of the most atroci- Ous caricatures of prominent people. in the shape of wOOd-cuts. which profess to represent their features. Neither does gallantry to the fair sex prevent the per petrati1n of the mos. heartless pictorial islander upon women of the highest char gcter, nor does the traditional respect shown by all races to the dead shield the deceased statesman from an insult only less brutal than would be a physi- cal indignity to his corpse. Miss Susan B. Anthony has protested, with well de- served severity to enc of she chief of- lenders, against what she correctly calls the horrible" pictures of Mrs. Stanton and herself, which are now on their travels. The law, by heavy penalties, protects the innocent from libel by printed words, and there ought to be some way of protecting people from libel by wOOd-cut.

A singular story comes from CoaltOn, Pennsylvania. Uriah Wales has been an ardent church member for thirty years. His wife ridiculed him, and ten years ago he declared he would not speak to her again till she was con verted. He kept his word, and for ten years a son was the medium of con- municgtion between the man and his wife Last week Mrs. Wales was con- verted, and her husband arose in the church and said that he had been a widower for ten years, but that now "he thanked God he had a wife" Mrs. Wales created a sensation by rising n her seat and saying that sh } dId not believe a man who was truly religious could deliberately ignore his wife for ten years, and asked that special prayers be offered for the conversion of her husband. She then turned to him and said: "Uriah, get on your knees, ask forgiveness for your sins, and be awakened to the errors of your ways. I will lead you to the Lord myself She walked toward the seat where he was sitting. He arose huriedly and went out of the church. Since then he has not been seen, and DO trace of him can be found.

GRAHAM COUNT.

The excavation and grading for the Hume of the Arizona Copper Company's
 new plant is rapidly approaching com ple.Ion. There is to be $500 feet of
 ditch and 4,500 feet Cf Hume, in dlmen- siOns : x4 feet in the clear. The Hume Is constructed entirely of California redwood, and some idea of it's size can be gathered from the amount of lumber required, 2j0,OO0 feet, principally 2-inch plank. The water is directed ntO the
 ditch by pile shoulder dam across the San Francisco river lJ0 feet long and feet high. At the head of the ditch jhsre are abutments 100 feet long be- tween the ditch and the river bed to protect the former from high water.

 river again, 10 allow the sand and de-

 are the gates for regulating the amount

 ground which is principally hard rock.

THE FORTUNATE ISLES.

You sail and you seek for the Fortunate Isles,
The old Greek Isles of the yellow birds song?
Then steer straight on through the watery
miles,
Straight on, straight on, and you can't go
wrong.
Nay not to the LETT, nay not to the right,
But on, straight on, and the Isles are in sight
The Fortunate Isles where the yellow-birds
sing
And life lies girt with golden ring.
These Fortunate Isles they are not so far,
They lie within reach of the lowliest door,
You can see them CLEAN by the twilight star;
You can hear them sing by the moons white
shore
Nay, never look back Those leveled grave.
stones
They were landing steps; they were steps unto
thrones
OF glory for souls that have sailed before, \
And have set white feet on the fortunate
shore.
And what are the names of the Fortunate Isles
Why, Duty and Love and a large content.
10 these are the Isles of the watery miles,
That God let down from the armament.
Lo Duty, and Love, and true mans trust
Your forehead to God and your feet in the dust
Lo Duty, and Love, and sweet babes smiles,
And these, o friend, are the Fortunate Isles.

that the republican ticket is probably the

q single democrat. In this opinion many of
the Northern Congressman concur, Mr..

impossible to carry Indiana with such q

continues to be the prevailing opinion that
the old ticket will be nominated, but that
should Mr.. Tiden refuse to allow his name
to go before the convention, which those
who know him best deny, Gov. Cleveland,

because almost everybody, republican as

bers of Congress who may oppose it, though
they have favored the reception of medals
and decorations by Americans from foreign
governments. Considerable sport was made
of the old British lions tail twister, and his
resolution was finally referred to the Com
mittee on Public Health.
This was District of Columbia Day in the
House, but as there is only one District bill
ready, that for giving the owners of build
ing material a claim on the houses in which
the meterial is used, Mr. Barbour gave way
to Mr.. Willis until halfpasU three O'Clock
for the consideration of the river and har-
bour bill. Among the bills introduced was
one eXempting Irvine used i'll seines and
nets admitted free of duty, the mover, q
Michigander, saying he understood the
Ways and Means Committee would report
it favorably. In this, however, he is sup
posed to be mistaken, rs the defeat of the
Morrison bill seems to have consumed that
committee with deep disgust.
The Senate to-day insisted upon its
passed several bills removing the political
disabilities of ex-Confederates, among them
Il. b. Thorborn, ]. r. Waddey, ]. J.. Cow
ardin, of Virginia. While engaged upon
these Mr.. Beck called attention to the ex-
pense of passing separate bills to relieve in
dividual disabilities, and to the wisdom,
patriotism and good feeling that would be
shown by the passage of general bill re-
moving the disabilities of all upon whom
they are still imposed. He also noticed the
Stiffness of continuing those disabilities
when the man who had been Vice-Presi-
dent of the Confederacy had subsequently
been an honored member of the other house
of Congress. Mr.. Garland, while agreeing
with Mr.. Beck, said that the removal of in
dividual disabilities was the best that could
be expected now, as majority of the COM
mittee that reported them being republicans
were utterly opposed to any general bill.
