A DEMOCRATIC PREsIDENT.-We be-
lieve, says the Lynchburg Adrance, the
election, Inauguration and seating of a
Democratic President Of more Importance
in a business point of view to the North
than to the South, just as in a political and
social point it is more important to the
South than the North. The dedication of
the Washington monument and the inau-
guration of Cleveland, has already done
much toward scattering sectionalism and
bringing together the North and the South,
and mingling the people in trade and social
affairs. The Louisville and New Orleans
Exposition have also done much in this di-
rection. Sheridan and Fitz Lee on Penn
sylvania avenue together, Garland and
Lamar in the Cabinet, will do much to
break the teeth of fanatics and cranks. The
better elements of both sections will seek
each other, intermarriages and exchange of
residences, friendships in trade and in gov
ernmental relations, will add yearly to the
harmonizing of all the present remaining
notes of discord. This Democratic victory
is grand achievement of the people,
great move in the direction of prosperity
and progress.

We hope brother Mauzy, of the Staunton
SPECTATOR, may now have his eyes opened
as to the virtues of the Ground Hog, which
he has abused for so many years. On Fri.
day last a box containing one of these ami
mails, and labeled Richard Mauzy, 6taun-
ton, Va" was sent by some friend of our
veteran brother from East Rockingham,
with view, we suppose, to retaining him
from the error of his way, and we trust it
may succeed. Rockingham Register.
From the above it would seem that broth
er Kerr, of the Register, has grounding
on the BRAIN to such degree that every
quadruped is mistaken by him for a ground
hog, and hence he mistook for ground
hog the beautiful young animal of the Ca
nine species sent to US. which was neither
''hound nor cur of low Degree but COM
bination of Newfoundland and Shepherd
that will never be so deficie Mt in perception
as to mistake, like brother Kerr, one of his
species for grounding. 1t is fortunate
for his faith in the ground hog superstition
that it was not a grounding, for that
would have disproved it, as none should
have been found out of his burrow at that
time. One was killed in Pocahontas during
the time he should have been in his bur-
row, and that, too, when the thermometer
indicated Is degrees below zero. It is for
brother Kerr to account for this, and also
for the fact that just at the time when, by
the. grounding sign, we should have mild
weather, the mercury sank to 16 degrees
below freezing, as on yesterday morning

DEATH OF CAPT. HARRY II. STEVENS.
Capt. Harry Il. Stevens formerly lawyer
of Dallas, died at New Orleans in the early
part of this year. He was for several
years law partnerIof Judge A. II. Field,
of the firm of Stevens s. Field. Capt.
Stevens had been in bad health for some
years, and died of consumption. He was
quite prominent at the Dallas bar for some
time, and was a man of fine mind, good
heart and very liberal education. He was
born in Rockingham county, Virginia; was
wounded at Gettysburg whilst captain of
company Of Stuart's cavalry. Capt.
Stevens was a member of the Louisiana
legislature in the Warmoth times and was
true to his constituency and his convic-
lions. He leaves many friends in Dallas
who will cherish and respect his memory.
The above is taken from a Dallas, Texas,
paper.
Of a family of six boys and one daueh-
ter, there remains but one living-Edward
d. Stevens, who resides in Georgia. It
seems but few years, although it has
been over twenty, since the Stevens family
was one of the most prominent in Harri-
sonburg, and the writer can scarcely re-
alize that a playmate of 'sthe years that
are gone" whose life seemed 80 full
OF promise-has gone down to the grave
forever. Poor Harry! We knew him SO
we'll, and esteemed him SO highly, but stern
death respects neither persons nor the af-
fectlons OF the heart, and few years will
make as many changes, and many as sad,
perhaps, as that referred to above, and
strangers take the places of all the living
OF to-day. Harry Stevens later life was
truly sad one, but we remember his man
ly character, the many graces and virtues
which ennobled him, and would cast from
us any thought save the sweet memory of
the great-hearted, noble boy who went
forth to battle with the world. Mr..
Stevens will be remembered probably by
many PERSONS in Harrisonburg, where he
was born and reared to manhood.-Fdrm
and Home (Harrisonburg.)

ECoNoMY.-The Baltimore Sun says that
President Cleveland sets an example to the
members Of his cabinet by reducing the
clerical force under his immediate control.
In the interest of economy he finds it ex-
pedient to reduce the clerical force at the
White House by one-half, and does it with
out impairiag it sufiiciency for the service
to be performed. President Cleveland is
himself a hard-worker, rising early and
going about his official duties as if he wish
ed to earn his salary. His subordlnates
may fairly be expected to do much. The
heads of departments economy
and reform are to stop at the White House
will doubtless find it possible to dispense
with large percentage Of the clerical force
under their directory.

Hon. JOHN W. DANIELS GRAFTON
Not having the space to publish the whole
of the admirable Grafton OF Hon. John W.
Daniel,-which we very much regret, we
are compelled to restrict its publication to
some extracts which will be found on the
first page of this issue, and which We hope
none will fail to read. It needs no eulo-
GUM from us-more competent critics have
given..it the higest.praise, among whom is the
venerable and learned historian, Bancroft,
who declared it to be the best effort of its
kind he bad ever listened to. Praise from
Bancroft, especially where Washington is
concerned, is something of which any man
may well feel proud.
Such compliment from SO high a liter
airy source is indeed something to be valued.

pondent of the New York World, in speak
ing of the Southern ladies who will shine
in Washington under tho present Admins
tration, thus speaks of Mrs. J. R. Tucker
and Mrs. John S. Barbour:
'tMrs Randolph Tucker is widely known
and widely admired. Although the mother
of large grown family and the grand
mother Of fifteen grandchildren, her face
and figure exhibit only the mellowness of
middle age. The face is perfectly oval,
and the brown, almond-shaped eyes are
soulful and as gentle as those of gazelle.
She has sweet, low voice. She has the
gift of making all feel at ease, and is fit
ting companion for her husband, the genial,
brilliant jurist and politician"
"Mrs. John s. Barbour has long been re-
cognized as social power, and is a true
Virginian in type and hospitality. Genteel,
refined, warm-hearted, and unostentatious,
she will continue to be, as the wife of one
of the prominent Democratic politicians, a
great favorite with the Southern element.
She has no children, and her sister, Miss
Daingerfeld, who resides with her, does her
part in making their home one of the most
