Mrs. Hughs's Presence of Mind.

uAlYcSlOn News.
Mrs. Mamie Hughes, living at
Halls Station, while on her way to
see sick neighbor, was attacked by
Il furious bull. Seeing no way of es-
cape or any assistance at hand, she
called to her two children, little boy
OF years and girl OF Z, who were
with her to run for their lives, while
she stood her ground, and taking off
her shawl awaited the furious animals
approach, and as soon as he lowered
his head for the fatal plunge she
spread the shawl over his head and
caught him by the horns. The ami
NAL pushed her back some twenty or
thirty feet, when she loosed her hold,
and, spring aside, she ran to her chill
dren. The animal, after paving and
goring to his satisfaction, lay down
on it and took II rest, while she and
her children proceeded to the neigh
boris house.

Extract from lseechers Sermon.

There are others that have Il. piety
that is an eternal mourning. They are
foreverputtingo on Grape because Christ
died. They are dolorous Christians,
always talking of their sins and their
imperfectionsf always RECALLING them
selves or their shortcomings, always
wondering whether they have 'evi-
dence' or not. They talk about hav-
ing hope, but their idea OF hope is very
different from mine 1T is whether they
are in a certain mechanical relation
to great system. The air is full of
the devil to them-Satan tempting
here, Satan tempting there, until, to
hear them speak, one would imagine
there was an imp on every tree along
their pathway, They are lugubrious.
As style of piety it is miserable,
wretched. Religion ought to make
men radiant. Wit and humor are
more pious than this burdened and
dreary sobriety."
"You remember those old time min
isters--godly men, no noubt, they were
with high, white cravatted throat,
until, as they walked with gold head
ed cane, they looked as boy looks
over fence, with now and then a
slight suspicion OF a smile; avoiding
this subject and that because inconsis-
tent with the dignity Of the pulpit, A
little more dryness and they would
have been mummies. How awful was
piety 1t seemed to me when saw those
spiritual scarecrows, How | used tC
feel that if it wasn't for hell ! would
be glad never to so to heaven"

All Praise 10 the Founders,

Ours is a great government. Its
laws and machinery are so perfect
that the greatest changes in its man
agement do not disturb its operations.
A great and mighty revolution has
been accomplished without the
booming OF cannon or the firing of
muskct. One party after holding
sway for quarter of a century quiet
ly rctires and another party with al
together different principles steps into
power. Such change in any foreign
nation could only be effected by the
sword. Yet this revolution in which
the whole policy Of the government is
changed, and thousands Of Office hold
ors displaced is all accomplished in the
United States, not by swords, or mus
kets, or cannons, but by
weapon that comes down as still,
AS snOw-fakes fall upon the sod
But executes frecman'S will,
As lightning does the will of God;
And from its force, nor doors nor locks
Can shield you; It's the ballot-box

Staunton (Va) Spectator Both
houses of the Tennessee legislature
have passed resolutions in favor of
deepening the James river up to Rich
mond. The resolution was offered in
the lover house by Hon. r. II. Butler,
Republican ex-member of Congress,
and its most active supporter was Du-
laney II Dcmocrat. We note this ac-
ton with much pleasure. 1t shows
that Tennessee knows that the james
is n good outlet to the sea but it also
shows what we prize more, that Vir-
gipia and Tennessee are bound to-
gethef by indisoluble ties. 1t was a
graceful, generous, patriotic, public
spirited act, and one which Nirginians
can not but appreciate In their
name, we return thanks to the Ten,
nessse Legislature.

last Friday morning involving loss
OF two hundred thousand dollars. The
snow was several inches deep on the

the light, that one could easily have
read ordinary print at the capitol.
The popping Of the champaign bottles

closed at midnight and the cause of
the fire is unknown. Scenery and

i DlscONrag1nS Report OF lt-Ch1neSe
Supplanting the WhiteS-Etc.
Mr.. and MIS-. Archer, who left
Wood River for Port Moody, in Brit
ish Columbia, some months ago, have
returned. They visited Oregon,
Washington Territory and British Co.
lumbia, and say that Wood River is
the best place of all. In Portland
there is an appalling lot of stores to
rent; Seattle is about dead; Tacoma
is barely living on the travel to and
from British Columbia. In Victoria,
Chinese must be more numerous than
the whites; at any rate, they live in
the best houses, keep carriages and
buggies, and live in grand style. All
the poor people who can are leaving
British Columbia, because Chinese
are given the preference in all EN-.
Payments. Hotels are everywhere
for sale, dirt cheap.
Mrs. Archer has been asked to re.
turn to Vienna to start a boarding
house; but she will probably remain
in Or near Haley.

Nervousness.

The moment there is danger of impair
ment of the mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERUNA and
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never we'll to wait so long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, s~oftness
OF the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression of the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion ;
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUNA and MANALIN should at once be
taken.
