GLADsroNE's FALL.

1t is sad, as it is a grand spectacle,
the overturning of great government
as was done in Great Britain on Tues
day. The revolution is grand because
it is bloodless, and brought about by
the force Of reason rather than by the
force of arms. II is nevertheless as COM
plete az it would have been had the
Conservatives marched into the House
of Commons and at the point OF the
bayonet driven out the Premier and his
Ministers, commanding them, under
pain OF death, to no longer assume to
exercise the functions of government.
There is grandeur also on the part OF
Glads one and his associates. Up to the
calling of the vote on the budget, Mon
day night, Gladstone held the most ex-
allied position on earth for a British
subject. The sovereign only is
greater than the Prime Minister
in the eyes of the people; in
point of fact, the Premier is above even
the Empress, in all save the meaningless
title. In office Gladstone was superior
to his Queen, the power all being with
him, the name only remaining with her.
Mighty as he was he gracefully submits
to the popular decree, surrendering his
power and stepping down from the Lofty
pedestal with degree of grace and ma
jesty that are magnificent to behold.
The ready yielding also marks the per-
lection of the British system of govern
ment, its stability and its happy adapta-
ton to the people governed. In America
we know something of the meaning OF
the popular will, but in the matter of
compelling Immediate attention to that
will, Great Britain is a long
distance in advance of the Republic.
An offensive administration In Eng
land dare not. cannot stand longer
than the opportunity is pre-
scented for its retirement: but in the

had not been in Office three months
before his administration was pronoun-
eed failure by two-thirds the voters of
the country, and it grew more and more
unpopular every day of the four
years that he was in Office, yet
offensive as he was to his own
party as well as TO the Democrats, there
was no power that could compel his re-
tirement before the close of the period
for which he had been chosen. An adj
ministration as weak and offensive
as Hayes, could not live in England a
month.

IT SEEMS not to have occurred to the
President yesterday that Utah wants
two new Justices of the Supreme Court,
a new Governor, Marshal and District
Attorney, and few minor officials in
his power to give us; or if it did occur
to him that these changes were desired
he did not make them, and the same old
crowd is here.

How TO Treat n Watermelon.

Good watermelons will shortly be
cheap enough to be within the reach Of
everybody. To enjoy this delicious
fruit properly, select Il dark green, fat
one, with yellowish spot where it has
Rugged mother earth. Put it on ice for
"a hours, cut hole in one end of it and
pour bottle of claret into the hole,
plug it up and put it on ice some more.
Cut it in longitudinal slices, bring it on
the table surrounded by wild flowers
and other fancy fixings. and you have
a dish fit for the gods. Some luxurious
palates, happily accompanied by means
enough to satisfy their gustatory whims,
find one or two bottles of champagne
emptied into the almost frozen melon,
in place of claret, decided improve
ment. But the man who cannot like Il
ripe, sweet watermelon without wine
is deserving of much pity.

is the most serious drought since 1872
has been prevailing in this section OF
the Shenandoah Valley. In this imme-
date neighborhood the dry weather was
relieved about four weeks ago by
heavy rain, but since that it has been
dry and hot. The wheat crop was very
short one, the grass crop failure, and
unless rain soon falls the CORR crop will
be seriously affected. Vegetation is lit
orally burnt up, and the ground is
parched and dry. Many young trees
have died. Streams are drying up and
clsterns getting empty, and farmers are
compelled to drive their stock some dis
lance to water.
In Berkeley county the drought has
been much more severe than in this
county. There has been no rain of any
consequence there since last winter. In
the neighboring counties of Virginia
the same state of affairs prevails, al
though local showers have refreshed
certain localities. In Warren and Fau-
quier counties the grass is burnt up and
the cattle are being hurried to market.
The corn is suffering very much.

The Harper's Ferry Property

The gentlemen from Wilmington,
Del, who recently purchased the old
government property at Harper's Ferry,
were in that place last week making ar
engagements for building and for devel-
oping their immense water power. They
have appointed Mr.. John Macarthur, of
Pittsburg, Pa, general superintendent,
and Mr.. Alexander Murphy, of Harper's
Ferry, assistant. A large number of
men will at once be put to work to get
the dam and canal in repair, and, in the
meantime, will commence the erection
on the site of the old national armory of
one of the largest wood pulp mills in
the country. Upon the completion OF
the pulp mill, it is said, the company
will erect six large paper mills. 1t is
said that the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company contemplate some very
important changes in the roadbed at
that point.

CommeudabIe-We learn that


Mr.. Henry Shepherd, in the exercise of
his usual liberality ard public spirit,
has led off with subscription of $50 to
the proposed Agricultural, Live Stock
and Mechanical exhibition soon to be
held at Morgan's Spring. We take
pleasure in making special mention of
this act, not only as deserving of public
recognition and thanks, but also because
of the example aud stimulus it affords
others to do likewise. Similar exhibit
tions have brought large and lasting
benefits to other localities where held,
and we trust our community is now on
the eve of sharing in some return for
what it has been for so many years ex-
pending abroad. We urge our farmers
and business men generally to initiate
the examp pie of Mr.. Shepherd, and lend
helping hand to make the enterprise
a success.

No Whining.-"Tradeh has been quiet this
season." This is the mournful cry heard on
every hand. We are glad 10 say that we are
not candidates for public sympathy. ON the
contrary, we congratulate ourselves that de-
spite general depression in business our sales
have been entirely satisfactory. Here are the
reasons:
I've buy our goods for cash. "For cash"
means lowest price and liberal discount.
2-We make moderate and reasonable
profit on what we sell except on some lines
where the profit is 80 modest that IL Is out OF
our sight.
3-We aim 10 tell the simple truth about our
goods. Oyerpraise may make one sale, but
how about the next? We want 10 keep our
customers.
I'VE watch the market closely and keep
on hand the freshest and newest styles.
5-We have one price for all. Your little
child can buy as cheaply as you can.
I've do not expect you 10 buy every time
you look. We want you to examine what We
have. We are always glad to see you.
These are our cardinal principles They will
tell in the long run. They have been very
advantageous To our BUSINESS Do you like

Notes on the Wcnther.-The i

NOfeS on the w clther.-lne Ice
on the Potomac river broke up on Tues
day. As the great masses of ice passed
down the river an inspiring sight was
presented. The bridge piers were not
injured.
Every one who is susceptible to cold
should not fail TO provide plenty of
thick clothing. Do not go into the air
without an overcOat.
The boys have been catching large
numbers of fish in the canal through
holes in the ice. 1t is cold work, though.
Mr.. ID. L. Rcntch was fined So for al
lowing the snow to remain on his pave
ment longer than the law allows.
Our town sergeant should see that the
practice of throwing snow balls should
be stopped. 1t is dangerous.
Little Sam Hodges hurt himselfquite
severely by falling off sled while
coasting the other day.
1t is not thought that the recent Sc
we're cold spell has injured the fruit
prospects.
No. 3 express train was delayed four
hours by the snow blockade on We'd
nesday.
The merry jingle of sleigh bells is
heard on all sides.

Daniel GetZcndanner, Chas. }. Roberts,
Geo. l.. Hoffman and Jacob :. Osborne.
1t was stated that the entire cost of the
church, with its furniture, was ! $50,
and that debt remained of 5000. The
members and people of the community
very generously responded to the call
for further assistance, and $3.50 was
raised. The remainder of the indebted
ness was assumed by the building COM
mittee, and the conservatory service
went forward. The sermon ut the af-
tcrnoOn service was preached by Rev.
j. \. Hoifhcins, and in the evening by
Rev. +. n. krrmrr.
The members of Grace Church are
much encouraged with the success which
has been achieved by their labors and
the kind assistance of friends. Much
praise has been spoken of the new
church, which is a neat, frame Gothic
structure, 27X50 feet, with 4 pulpit re-
cess, belfry, and interior vestibule. The
ceiling and all other interior wood work
is of yellow pine finished in oil, and the
chancel furniture is beautiful in design.
Evening services were held during the
week in which the pastor was assisted
by Revs. f. n. and l.. G. Kremer and
A. S. Weber.

The warm weather is driving many Of
our good people to the shades and breezes
of the mountains, where they can enjoy
the benefits of mineral water, pure at
mosphere, and rich milk and butter.
But there are many who cannot afford
such luXuries, yet they stay at home
and enjoy the benefits of the "Seven
Springs Mass" which is worth more to
their health than all the charms of the
modern summer resorts. For one bottle
of the Mass. which only costs 81, you
get the benefit Of fourteen gallons of the

advise those who attend other springs
to be certain and supply themselves with
some of the "Seven Springs Mass"

LIPPINCoTT's MAGAZINE for August is
specially adapted for summer reading.
The only "solid" papers in this number
are one on "The Scottish Crofters," BY
Prof d. B. King, and the second of two

a clear statement Of the grounds on
which the claims Of the Crofters are
based, as well as of the present tendency
of legislation and public opinion in
Great Britain in reference to the tenure
of land. "Our Ville," by Margaret
Bertha Wright, is very amusing sketch
of French provincial life. Fishing in
Elk River" by lobe Hodge, carries US
to the wild mountain region of West
Virginia, with its splendid scenery,
quaint char acters, and abundant facili-
ties for sport with both rod and gun

with its surroundings and associations.

Observation-Disclosures

Baughman, of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal, states that he has completed his
report of the operation of the canal for
June, showing Il lessening of the eX-
penses of $500 as compared with the
same month of 1884. This reduction of
operating expenses was made notwith-
standing considerable repairs at several
of the locks, and two or three sunken
boats were removed. The lessening in the
expenses for July will be still greater
than June. Temporary arrangements
are being made for increasing the
capacity of the dams by frightening
their walls with timber so rs to provide
supply of water that will keep the ca
nal in boating condition during the
present low-watcr stage. The canal
business is as satisfactory as can be ex-
pected a. this time.

We regret to learn tina. Mr.. Chas. A.
Trussell, residing upon the Stone-House
farm of Mr.. Jas. H. Moore, near Wilt

at full speed, and crushed into Il vehicle
of Mr.. Daniel HeflebUwer'S, farther

liberated and dashed on. The vehicle
was overturned and very much wreck

thought would be killed, was, strange
to say, taken from the buggy unframed,

Report Los. of Mail Matter.

Chief Sharpe, of the postoflice inspec-
tors, says that the department has been
greatly embarrassed in discovering dep
redators upon the mails by the meagre-
ness of the information furnished by the
public. Not one man in a hundred, he
says, would notify the department when
letter was lost, and, as consequence,
when an employee was arrested for
riflng letters he usually confessed that
he had been stealing for months. A
prompt report of mail losses would en-
able the inspectors to fasten the crime
upon the particular railroad line, post
office, and individual, within a short
time, and almost without fail.
