fCorrespondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
July %. 1885.
Information has been received here
of the sudden and distressing death of
young lady in Augusta county. Major
Thomas Awde is farmer residing
near Bethlehem church, four miles
southwest Of WaynesbOro'. His daugh-
ter, Miss Willie j., an accomplished and
much-admired young lady, returned
home Saturday afternoon from Stanton,
where she had been attending the Nor
nal Institute. She reached home ABOUT
G O'Clock, apparently happy and well.
The family supper was enjoyed, but
before or after the meal-it is not
stated--she ate a small piece of cOlOred
candy. She was shortly after supper
seized with spasms, and rapidly sank
under their violence, death ensuing
Sunday morning about 4 o'clock.
Or. killian, who resides a short dis
lance from Major Awde, was sum-
moned and quickly came to the relief
of the distressed family. DR.. Myers,
of Wayuesboro', also arrived as soon as
he could do so, but every remedy
proved unavailable, and young life.
but few hours before so full OF bright
ness and promise, passed away. The
funeral will take place to-day at Beth
lshem church.
Several sections of Augusta have re-
ceived during a few days past refresh.
ing and much-needed showers. Waynes-
boro' and few miles around the town
have had them. So the country
around StribliDg's Springs has also been
blessed with rain.

L. Life Worth Living?

Some Of the metaphysicians are now
discussing this question, and saying a
good many things too deep for ordinary
understanding. To make life really
worth living in the best way the first
requirement is a good digestion and a
healthy circulation of blood. The man
who wishes somebody would knock him
in the head is in low spirits because
his digestion is bad and his blood poor.
DR.. Myers, Of Sheboygan, Wis, says
Il recommend Browns Iron Bittcrs for
general debility, loss Of appetite, and
want of strength. Take this valuable
tonic and make life worth living

Of Lords. Queen Victoria gave him his
peerage upon the advice Of Mr.. Glad
stone, at his resignation Of the premier
ship.
Baron Nathaniel Meyer de Roths-
child, who was born in November,
1910, is the eldest son Of the late Baron
Lionel Nathan de Rothsohild, Of Gun
nersbury Park, Ealing, who was
baron Of the Austrian empire. He has
sat for Aylesbury since July, 1865, and
inherited the baronetcy from his uncle.
the late Sir Anthony de Rothschild, OF
Tring, in 1876. He married, in 1869,
his cousin Emma Louisa, daughter Of
Baron Charles de Rothschild, Of Frank
fort-on-the-Main and has several chill
dren. The Baron is deputy lieuten-
ant Of the city of London, holds COM
mission in the Bucks YeOmanry, and
is president Of the United Syna-
gogus Of London and of the
Jews Free School. He is head Of
the great establishment Of finance bust
ness in London founded by his grand
father, Baron Meyer de Rothschild, at
the beginning of the nineteenth century,
and connected with other houses of the
Rothschild family in different European
capitals. The English branches of this
family are connected by marriage with
more than one family in the British
pecrage. A daughter Of the late Baron
Meyer dc Rothschild, Of Mentmorc, IS
Countess Of Rosebery, and her aunt
married the Right Hon. Henry Fitlroy,
son Of the second Lord Southampton,

daughters married the Hon. Eliot Yorke,
son Of the late Earle Of llardwicke.

DOM" says the JeUish Chronicle, AS
sumes the title Of Lord RothSchlld.
His elevation to the House Of Lords not
only confers personal honor on the re-
cipient Of the Queens gracious favor,
but also sheds lustre upon the entire
Jewish community. The creation Of
the first Jewish peer IN England Is one
OF the most significant of the acts of Mr..
Gladstone, to whose advocacy in part it
was due that Baron Rothschild,
Sir Nathaniel's father, was eventual
" enabled TO sit in the House
Of Commons. To Mr.. Gladstone.
it will be remembered, is also due the
appointment OF the late Sir George
Jessel, first as Solicitor General, and
subsequently as Master Of the Rolls.
BY the parliamentary oath amendment
bill, which received the royal assent on
May |, 1866, Lord Rothschild will be
enabled to take his seat among the
peers Of England without any difficulty
/ in connection with the oath to be ad-
ministered. The distinction conferred

DCar Dispatch: Are you not a little
careless here?
Do you not, in fact, yield the whole
question to the Exclusive gold idea !:
Is not the present bullion value of
silver largely due to the fact that half
the world still accepts that metal as
money!
Were its monetary force to rest mere
" on a pledge Of "redeemability in
gold" In what respect. beyond its value
in the arts, would it be superior to a
! paper promise.
Has not silver been money since the
earliest dawn of history? Aud if so,
by what standard can we estimate the
intrinsic " value it would still retain
when shorn Of its monetary attribute
DO not the best interests Of an ad-
vancing civilization and a constantly
expanding commerce, with all implied
thereby, imperlously demand that q
broad and solid basis shall be given for
the eyer-sugmenting volume of the
worlds credits and exchanges: And
if so, shall we not act wisely in retain
ing both the precious metals with their
ultimate debt-cancelling function abso-
lutsly unimpairedg
In word, If all nations should al
multaneously " settle the currency
problem by making silver redeemsble
in gold," would not gold instantly Boz
come the sole standard Of value and
the exclusive solvent Of debt? That
is, would not the victory of the mono
metallists be completely won?

GREENSBORO, n. c., July q, 1865.
Our citizens were awakened this morn
ing about O'Clock by the fire-alarm.
Messrs. Hudson d Kirkman's grocery
store was in flames. Their stock, valued
at $4,000, is a total loss. There was
no insurance upon it. The fire origi-
mated in their cellar, and was caused by
one Of the clerks putting lighted candle
on a barrel of kerosene and leaving
it burning. The flames spread
rapidly, and the Office Of the Southern
Express Company was soon destroyed.
The express company saved everything
except few papers and their faithful
guard-dog Flute" who refused to be
driven from his post. Mr.. Shelton,
dealer in groceries, saved his entire
stock from the flames, but will lose
$3.50 from rough handling Of goods.
MesSrs. Wharton 4 Wharton, deal
ers in hardware, lost almost their en-
tire stock. They are insured for $4,000
The baptist church was next attacked
by the flames, and is total loss.
The entire loss is about S25, 1000 No.
