WHAT TO DOM AN EMERGENCY.

Here is the best method of action
when the clothing of any friend is on
fire. Seize a shawl, or blanket. or
any WOODEN fabric, hold the corners
as far apart as you can, stretch them
out higher than your head, and run
ming boldly to the person, make Il
motion of clasping in your arms,
mostly above the shoulders. This in
stantly smothers the fire and saves
the face. The next instant throw
the person on the floor. This is an
additional safety to the face and
breath, and any remnant of flame can
be put out more leisurely.
The next instant immerse the
burnt part in cold water, and all
pam will cease. Next, get some com
mon flour, remove from the water and
cover the burnt parts with on inch
Of -four if possible, put the patient
to bed and do all that is is possible to
soothe until the physician arrives.
Let the -four remain until it falls off
itself, when beautiful new skin can
be found. Unless the burns are
deep no other application is needed.
Dry flour for burns is the most adj
mirable remedy ever proposed, The
principle Of this action is, that like
the water, it causes instant and per-
feet relief from pain by totally ex-
Guiding all the air from the injured
parts.
4 good authority prescribes the
following remedies For severe
burns cloth wet in solution of soda
should be quickly applied. For
slight burns a mixture Of lime water
and sweet oil brings speedy relief.

COUNTRY BOYS.

Country lads often feel that their
lot is hard one; they see city bred
youngsters on their travels and their
spreeS at the age of fourteen; verita-
BILE young gentlemen with finished
exterior, cigar and cane.
The young farmer at the same age
finds himself with hoe in his hand,
and cheap straw hat on his head,
sweating among the hills of corn. He
is frequently enyious of his city broth
er, whisking past him in the cars,
with kid gloves, delicate ringlets and
plenty OF money in his pocket.
Mind your corn, boy-hoe it out
clean, keep steadily to the labor you
have in hand, do it well, and in time
your good days will come too. If
you find farming is not suited to your
taste or your strength, or to your cir
cumstances if you like mechanism
better, or have capacity for bust
ness, whatever eventually you may
engage in, it is all the same, you have
begun right. The city blades have
begun wrong; and in due time you
will see it. Their fathers and moth
ers will in the end see it too. DO
not feel enyious Of the pleasures that
a dollhouse man enjoys but remem-
Der, not in malicious, burin a sober
spirit, that such plants wither early.
BY the time you have acquired fix
ed habits of industry, and acquired a
corresponding perfection of mind and
body, your delicately reared contem-
porary Of the city begins to feel the
facilitating effect of idleness and dis
sipation. He is not alone to blame
for want of weak body and a profit
less mind; it is the result of system
but he cannot escape from its effects
these he must endure for himself,
in his own person. His father may be
professional man, or a merchant, or
may be merely rich; the chances are
fifty against one that the son will not
replace his father Such is the re-
suit Of well settled experience bust
ness falls into the hands of those who
are most competent, it does not de-
scend to heirs. 1t is the country
boys after all who do the city BUSH
ness. Observing men have often
stated this fact; and any one who
will take a directory, and inquire in
to the origin Of the business men of
Boston, or New York will find it to
be so.
All external circumstances are in
favor Of the son or the clerk succeed
ing to the trade of the old firm; but
the son seldom, almost never u.cs in
the position of a partner Of the house.
Why is it! Simply because habitual
indulgence is wanting and habituaI
indulgence is not wanting. With all
: the external odds against it the coun-
try furnishes the cities their princi
pal business men. If intelligent
faithful and persevering, and aboy,
all cheerful and contented, the chan
ces are that the lad with the hoe vii
eventually do the business of the
father Of the lad in gloves, who i,

THE LOCATION OF THE COL
LECIOR'S OFFICE,

Capt. Ham. Shepherd, Secretary of the
Virginia Democratic State Committee
was yesterday recommended by the Vir.
ginia Congressman for the post of Collec
tor of internal Revenue for the Staunton
district. Hon. Henry G. Allen, OF Shen
andoah, was at the same time recon-
mended for District Attorney for this Dis
trict. Both are admirable selections
and deserved recognitions Of valuable ser.
vice to the Democratic party Of their
State.
1t is to be hoped that Capt. Shepherd
if his recommendation is confirmed by
President Cleveland, will retain the head
quarters of the Collector. at Staunton
The counties of Augusta and Rockbridge
produce three-fourths of the spirits made
in the whole district. And out of the
thirty-eight distillers doing business with
the collectors office. all except nine are
this side of the Blue Ridge. The location
at Staunton, too, is as important to the
business facility of the collector himself
as to that of those who have business with
him.

them require the mon who represent them to
gosshonestly to work, not to bubble and pass
lot of absurd and impracticable laws; but to
settle upon some practicable method of bring
ing about the desired result.
We have urged this subject on the at
tention of the farmers Convention
because after all they are the men to decide
on it. Their practical views, their great
interest In the matter, and the numerical
power they possess, above all other avoca-
tions. to engraft their views on the legisla-
tion Of the State, make. them the best
abitrstors on all such propositions. we
trust it will be thoroughly discussed on the
broad principle of improving the whole
extent of the Commonwealth. The day
that a stranger could travel the length
of this Commonwealth and see scattered
all over it's broad surface gangs OF men
worlking on it's roads, would be white
day for old Virginia, and would give the
word to the outside world that the old
State had walked up at last and was max
/ ing ready to receive new citizens.

STA UNION GRAIN MARKET.

STA UNION GRAIN MARKET.
The week under review has been with.
out special local feature of interest. But
little grain is offering, farmers being just
now pressed with Spring work. and rather
indisposed to sell, even if convenient to
haul. Hay is still high and scarce. Timo-
thy may be written one dollar higher, say
$500 per ton. Unfortunately, our farm
ers sold their hay last Fall and held their
wheat. The interest of the grain trade of
the whole country now centers upon
wheat, particularly with view to its fu-
ture outlook. 1t is estimated that one
quarter of the crop of winter wheat has
been killed out. Some correspondents
place the loss even greater. But it should
always be remembered that in forming
their judgments about damage to growing
crops, these judges are necessarily govern
ed by external appearance which are very
often, if not generally, misleading. Every
Augusta farmer will appreciate the truth
and force of this statement when he
thinks of the change in the prospects oil
his own crop, the warm days of the past
week has made.
The States suffering most by reason Of
the severe winter are Ohio. West Virginia
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri
Kansas, Indiana. and southern Illinois
In other States the plant was better PRO
tected by snow, and not SO much damage
done.

The trial Of T. J. Cluverius for the

King William, for the prosecution, and
Judge W. W. Crump of Richmond, and
Messrs. A. B. Evans of Middlesex and Fl.
r. Pollard of King William, for the de-
fence. Nothing new has been developed
in the case. Perhaps it may be said that
the case now hangs on proof of the prison

the spot of the murder. That proven

any remedy provided for those office-hold-
ers who may be turned out. There is
no provision for paying the suspended
officer any salary, nor for returning him
in short, the act is confused and incom-
plete and seems to have been passed under
the delusion once so strong with the Re-
publican congress. that it would never be
without power to enforce what it desired.
1t seems to us one of those laws that de-
ponds for its execution very much on the
construction put upon it by the President
and his advisors, and we shall look for
ward to a wise construction by the Presi-
dent, followed by firm execution. AS
matter of fact he is all powerful in the
matter.
For the rejection of the postmaster NOM
mated for Pleasant0n, Kansas, there is no
explanation given. The provision with
reference to Presidential post.oflices may
be found in Sec. So Of the revised laws
regulating the Post Office Department,
passed at the beginning OF President
Grants term, in which it is provided:
'That Postmasters of the fourth and fifth
classes shall be appointed and may be remov-
ed by the Postmaster General, and all others
shall be appointed and may be removed by
the President by and with the advice and
consent of the Senate, and shall hold their
offices for four years, unless sooner removed
or suspended according to law. All appoint
ments and removals shall be notified to the
Sixth Auditor
1t will be seen that these hang on pretty
much the same peg as the rest of the
offices. During its session the Senate
may refuse to confirm some Democratic
successor to a Republican postmaster as
In the Pleasant0n case, but when he is re-
moved during the recess, the law points
out no way by which the Senate can put
him back. 1t can only make trouble over
the Democratic successors confirmation
but as the Democrat would be already in
and drawing the salary he would not be
concerned much about what the Senate
did or thought about his confirmation.
Since the above was written case in
point has occurred showing that President
Cleveland takes the same view of it. He
