ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER II.

GAIL HAMILTON, Mr.. Blaine's best part,
has at this late day, been vouchsafed a true
insight into the negro question. In an arti-
c,e Of hers in the November number OF the
North American Rcriem on race prejudice,
she says:
"But when we come to the question OF
mixed churches We come plumpiy ana
squarely upon the question OF marrying a
Niger, and that, with all due respect Dc IL
sionary societies have any thing to do. 1t is
no part of the missionary societies TO
make the Ethiopian and Caucasian one.
It is wicked for the white man to en-
slave the black man, but it IS not
wicked for him to prefer church composed
chiefly of white people. The North may
maintain that it is The missionary SO
cieties may insist that it shall be, but Inc
fact is not altered by our refusing TO recog-
nize if. The missionary societies can JUST as
e.s;lv change the Southern blacks INTO
Sonthern whites, as they can change the
heart of the Southern white into an accep-
lance Of social unity with the ooutnern
black. It is not question OF superiority or
inferiority, of right or wrong, OF Christianity
or papanism If the negro is ever to be raised
n crusade at the North against race preju-
dice at the South. If the races are provi-
DENTAL the race line is providential. If it
is God who made the white man white ana
the black man black, it is God who made
each consort with his own"
But what will Fred. Douglas, who married
a white woman, and General Malone, who
says he wants all race distinctions obliterat-
ed, and all therest of the South haters and
miscegnationis!s say to this? What with the
popularity ofSsuaturs Sherman and Logan
among Northern republicans, and the true
and common sense, though deferred, views OF
Mr.. Blaine on the negro question, quoted
above, the Maine statesman, unless great
change shall come over the party to which
he belongs before the next national republi-
can convention, will stand . slim chance of
receiving tho nomination OF that conven'
ton.

The first case tried was the long
pending suit between Westmore and
Sheffield over the non compos Lee
land, pauper who Westmore
claims belongs to Sheffield, but whom
Sheffield seems unwilling to take. The
legal contest is over the question of
settlement and the whole case verges
on the question of the absolute time
when the father of Leland, Jesse Lee
land, moved from Barton to Sheffield.
If, as the Westmore people claim, it
was in November, Leland belongs by
law to Sheffield; if the father, Jesse,
moved with his family in December,
then he did not gain settlement"
in Sheffield and his son did not be-
come pauper of that town. Much
evidence is brought on both sides
to show that Leland did move, and
that he did not move to Sheffield in
Novem Der. The case is still on trial
and will consume day or two more
before it ends.

OUT ON A TOUR.

/ have spent one day at Willough-
by Lake. I m ention this fact in or
der to let the community know that
l have heen away from home. AL
though there were many people among
the trees and around the hotels, only
one person seemed to be aware of my
august presence. This was the land
lord. When l was departing he ask
me if Hadn't forgot something, | i'm
mediately recollected that had.
Those who long for the weird and
picturesque should visit this wild and
romantic spot. Assuredly 1t is Yo-
semitic on miniature scale. A broth
er tourist of nine said lie had visited
the most interesting points in Europe,
Asia and Africa, and the northern
part of Maine, and yet had never
experienced such thrilling awe as
when standing on the highest point of
Mount Pisgah. One reason was his
foot slipped. That some great con-
vulslon of nature knocked this local
ity into a magnificent chair is re-
markable fact. And unless another
convulsion reinstates it back again,
Willoughby Lake is destined to spring
into note as one of the finest summer
resorts in Vermont. At this place l
learned that city habltant can ap-
pear as green in the country as a
countryman can appear in the city.
Four ladies, apparently from the
city, approached farmer who was
engaged in Harvesting a horse when
the following conversation ensued ;
"Can you tell us, please, where the
place is they sharpen scythes {"
s;Hey!" said the farmer, for the first
time aware of their presence. "Can
you tell US where they sharpen
scythes, please "Sharpen 'ems
Why they sharpen 'em where they
happen to have 'em, of course

Eyes, / know; but isn't there some
particular placer" "Why, sartin,
marin. Every man has a place.
Wherever man mows he sharpens
his scythes." ''She MEANS" said the
second lady stepping to the front,
"where the place is they grind
scythes." '.Grind 'em? Why, they
grind 'em wherever they have
grindstone. S'posed everybody knew
that. but isn't there some par
ticular placer "Why, bless you,
yes. Mines under the boss shed.
Most of 'em, though, grind under
woodshed. Amt no particular
place, you know las longs the stones
under cover" ''I'm afraid you don't
understand us, said the third lady,
taking the stand, eve wish to see
the place where the scythes are
made" s'You do, Well now, see
here. You jest take the keers and
ask some one On the train, for I'll be
darned if / know" ':But,' said the
third lady, little disconnected,
''don't they make them somewhere
around here?" lit may be-it may
be. I've lived here nigh on to thirty
| years, though, and never heerd of 1t
afore. Howsomever, it may be-" 81
Think said the fourth lady, with a
culver in her voice, ''that we want
to see the grindstones. The captain
of the boat informed US that the fac
tory was in this vicinity, and / am
pretty sure he said something about
! grindstones.' ''Now say" said the
farmer as he clambered into the wag-
on, ''I'm pretty nigh on to sartin
that you're off the track. That you
want to see 'em make whetstones
is as plain as the nose on your face.
You're on the wrong road. Jest re-
trace your steps for about half a
mile, and then cross Joe Sniggins'
cow pasture, and when you're on top
of the hill, to the left you'll see the
roof three quarters of mile ahead.
Might have told you where they
made whetstones afore, if you'd
only asked" And he whipped uI
old Dobbin, and drove off. There
are many interesting features about
Willoughby Lake that have but late
ly come into notice. One is cave
among the cliffs; another is Ber
Butler depicted upon the rocks, com
fortably seated in an arm chair made
after the pattern of Queen Elizabeth
Near him is the gigantic figure of ;
man with a gun In his hand, shooting
ducks. So life-like is this latte
picture that when the wind is right
you can smell the powder. Thes'
curiosities so inflamed me to discov
er something that l determined t.
make a ''find" if possible. How
well / succeeded the following will
show. AS we were were walking
; along the base of the cliffs, notices
high up against the rocks, what
took TO be man. So much did
resemble man in the distance, tina
I pointed it out to my fellow tourists
They said it bore the strongest ap
pearance of man, of any fgur
they ever saw even equalling tn
'Old man of the mountain" Desirin,
a closer inspection of our discovery
we determined to scale the heights
That it was man, we hadn't
shadow of a doubt; even when o.
top of the mountain we could no
believe that the object we had discov
was a natural phenomena. We wer
} unanimous in the belief that W
should find it man. With caution
steps we approached the spot, when
