A RARE MUSICAL TREAT.-Grand

with a visit from Donavin's Original
Company of Tennesseeans. 1t seems
that to avoid prosecution other man

words Tennessee Jubilee Singers, y

only, while this company are cultivated,
thorough vocalists, and give a legiti-
mate and concert program. We call
attention to these facts because our

Snow IN MAY-Ex tract from the
History of New Hampshire On the
18th. day of May 1868, a sudden
change of weather was so severe that
two men were frozen while out fishing;
one man died before the boat landed
and one died few days after The
third lost his feet. On the 18th of
May 1869, and May s, 1904, when
Apple trees were in blossom, snow fell
s inches deep and remained several
days, so as to produce good sleighing.
The weather for several days the
past week in this section was the most
remarkable in its history. On the
evening of the 9th of May it began
showing and blowing and continued to
do so almost continually up to the
evening of the 9th. The theremome-
ter fell several degrees below zero.

MEN AND ANIMALS STARVING
Terrible Dcst.iution ard suffering In Three
Counties OF West Virginia.


Counties OF Yves, virginia.
A Wheeling special says: AdyiceS
from Gilmer, Braxton, and Calhoun
counties are of the most alarming char
actcr. Il. A. Edwards, editor of the
Democrat, published here, who has had
an opportunity to investigate, says the
suffering and distress among man and
beast in the counties mentioned is
unprecedented. A fearful and long
protracted drought last summer de-
stroyed the crops, and the farm-
ers entered upon the winter with less
than one third the usual provisions for
their families and live stock. The
winter has been fatally severe.
Droyes Of hogs, cattle, sheep, and even
horses have died. The loss in this di-
rection is many thousand dollars.
Weeks ago all kinds offood became ex-
hausted and live stock is dying of star
walton by scores. Many farmers have
not single animal of any description
left. Ii is said that there is not enough
food in the three counties to support
its population two weeks.
Since Christmas food has been hauled
in wagons drawn by four horses over
the mountains on the worst possible
roads, across bridgeless streams, for
distances Of eighty and one hundred
miles, two weeks being often consumed
in single trip. This makes the cost
Of the most ordinary articles enormous.
Indifferent coffee is forty cents per
pound, rice brings sixteen cents. corn
meal two dollars bushel, parched corn
is luxury. and flour unknown. The
few sheep and cattle left are turned out
to die or exc out an existence by living
on dried moss and lichens. Fortunately
the snow in the mountains is unusually
light.
The extreme cold weather of the past
two weeks has greatly added to the
misery of the situation. Unless relief
comes whole families will be annih-
lated. No aid Of dimensions sufficient
TO avert the calamity can come from the
outside, because Of the impoSSibility of
transporting it across the mountains in
the present condition of the roads,
which are in many instances mere bri-
die paths. Weather sufficiently warm
to thaw the streams would make it pos
sible to get within thirty miles of the
point of greatest suffering with "push"
boats. 1t would also afford stock-men
chance to get in and buy what little
stock remains, thus giving the people a
little money with which to purchase
supplies. II is quoted as a marvel that
no attempt to be extortionate in charges
has been heard Of.

Well Done. Tennessee

Both houses Of the Tennessee Legis-
lature haze passed resolutions in favor
of deepening the James river up to
Richmond. The resolution was offered
in the lower house by Hon. X. r. BUT
LER, Republican ex-mcmber Of Con-
gress, and its most active supporter was
DR.. DULANEY, Democrat.
We note this action with much plea
sure. II shows that Tennessee knows
that the James is a good outlet to the
sea but it also shows, what we prize
more, that Virginia and Tennessee are
bound together by indissoluble ties. 1t
was a graceful. generous, patriotic, pub
lio-spirited act, and one which vir-
ginians cannot but appreciate highly.
In their name, We return thanks to the
Tennessee Legislature.

The south in the Cabinet.

The New York Times. in an article
on sThe South in the Cabinet. says
| the fact that two Of the best men on
whom public opinion has BY common
accord fixed come from States that
we're in "rcbeiIion,' and q third from
a former slave State, Is ono of the most
striking features Of the present political
situation. The Times also expresses
surprise at the attitude Of men who,
ike Mr.. EyARTs. cannot see in the
full daylight that the sun has risen. and
declares
$50 far rs can now he seen this
change means the disappearance OF the
southern question from our national
elections. II is hardly conceivable that
She southern men represented by the
gentlemen referred to should do, or pro-
pose to do, anything in national affairs
that could call for policy distinct from
any national party. These gentlemen
GIL the public eye at present in no sense
whatever as southern men. and such
theories or views held by them in
the past as were prop ;rly called south
ern attract attention now only by
the general agreement that they will
not have the slightest weight in the new
Administration. The southerners whom
Mr. Cleveland is likely to call, and who
are looked upon with the greatest re-
spect, are soatherners only as others
are men Of the East or Of the West.
Their prominence is due, not to their
residence, but to their ability. expert
cnce, character, and special personal
qualities
And again
I" But neither the fears nor the hopes
Of the class Of prophets who predict
renewed conflict with the solid South
four years hence are shared by the great
mass Of the American people, who look
with great content upon the advent Of
an Administration which can select as
its best aids in the national work Of
reform Cabinet officers from the south
ern States"
Every word we quote from the Times
is as true AZ it is gratifying. Yet our
contemporary only anticipates in the
administration of Mr.. CLEVELAND
what would have been realized long ago
but for the course Of the Republican
party towards the South. The South
accepted the results Of the war in good
faith. and the representative men of the
South have only been sectional as the
BLAINEs. the EvARTsEs, the LOGANs,
the SHERMANs, et id omne genus,
have made them sectional. That
we are correct has been abundantly |
proved by the course of the southern
representatives in Congress. All the |
South asks now--and all she has ever |
asked-is representation in the govern
ment as a part Of the American Union.
To give her representation as section
is an honor she does not court.

urgent request from the town authori-
ties. What the exact trouble is hare
yet to learn, though il probably arose
from the discharge Of some Of the ope-
natives. 1t is said that attempts have
been made TO intimidate some Of the Of
ficiais by firing at them at night and
sending them warning letters.
II will be remembered that the late
superintendent tMunson) was induced
to leave by these methods last summer,
and since then the miners have probably
thought that they had remedy at hand
Hr every fsncied grievance. There is
undoubtedly bad condition Of affairs
there now. The frequent disorders oc-
curing in that end Of the county have
suggested the necessity of hastings
court for Pocahontas, and the Legisla-
ture will probably be asked to establish
one at its next session. MAX.

A Straw.

The Legislature Of Tennessee is
Democratic by a large majority. In
the Senate there are twice as many
Democrats AS Republicans-22 to IL.
Well, last Thursday in the Senate there
came up for consideration resolution in.
structing Senator's and Requesting repre-
sentatiyes in Congress to vote down pro
tective legislation. The Nashville Ameri-
can says the resolution was :. summarily
squeiched." The committee had unani-
mously reported in favor Of its reiec-
ton.
We trust that the Democrats Of Viz
ginia are as wise as those Of Tennessee,
and will refuse To allow their counsels
to be distracted by differences Of opin-
ION on the tariff question.
