Employment and Education.

"a good education" says DIR. Nc.
Gosh, qualities a man to do dozen
different things, where an ignorant
man could do only one. Education
also enables a man to rise in any
sphere of labor in which he is en-
plOyed." The truth of this is espe-
cially Yaluablei these days of change
in vocations. Science is specializing
every employment mechanicism is
taking the place of manual labor, and
in this approaching readjustment of
vocations, will prove the only indi-
vidual safeguard. What industrial
future is there for the man who can
use his hands only when a machine
is inyented that takes the place of
thousand pair of hands? Obviously,
the practical need of intellectual quail
ification is far greater in this age, and
will continue to increase with the
progress of humanity. 1t is the ten
dency of every trade to become an
art. and of every artisan 10 become
an artist in his speciality. And in
this lies the true secret of the great
need of industrial education, Lillian

A NATIVE OF RocKBRIDeE KILLED ON
THE RAILROAD IN W. VA.-We learn from
a letter from Brownsburg, W. Va, to the
Kanawha Gazette, that Mr.. Thomas
Hartsook. an excellent young man, who re-
moved from Rockbridge county, Va, to
West Virginia, was killed on the Ches. 6
Ohio Railway on the 10Th inst, whilst on
his way to see his twin brothers, who are
employed at the Lowell Coal Works. About
one and a half miles from Blacksburg he
was standing on the rear platform con-
versing merrily with some friends, and the
train, running at a speed of As miles per
hour, made a lurch around a curve,
which caused him to lose his balance and
fall from the Car, and in one second the fine
physical form of Thomas Hartsook was a
bleeding, mangled corpse. He leaves many
acquaintance and friends to mourn his I'M
timely fate.
The correspondent referred to says
''He was polite and attentive to custom
ers, kind and obedient to his employers
honesty being his policy under all circum-
stances. +"
He was clerk in the store of Smith & Co.,
at Brownsburg, Kanawha county.

TIE NEGROES NO LONGER "SoLID."-Iti is
hoped by the Malone party that the Negroes
will rally to their standard, but in this we
think they are mistaken. The success of
Mr.. Cleveland has not been followed with
the oppression of the race which they
were told by their white brethren would be
sure to come to pass; and one great i'm
pulse to the colored vote has been lost by
reason of this knowledge. Up to the pres
ent time a favorite statement was that
Democratic success meant servitude, wrong,
cruelty, and oppression. The prophets
predicted too much and discredited them
selves by their copious inventions, so that
ii November there will not be solid mass
of black voters at the back of Mr.. Wise.
But even if such were the case we should
win, al the same, for the good people of
Virginia understand very fully that they
have vital interests at stake, and we expect
as the minimum $4,000 majority for the
Democratic ticket.-Norfok Landmark.

Appomattox Courthouse on the 9th of that
month.
After the war he made Washington his
headquarters, and was commissioned full
general of the regular army July %, 1866,
and on August IL, 1867, when Secretary
Stanton was suspended by President John
son, he was made Secretary of War adj inter-
i'm and held that position until about the
middle of January, 1868, when he gave 1t up
to Stanton, who had been sustained by the
Senate. johnson, however, wished him to
retain the place, in spite of the Senate's
action, when correspondence ensued, in
which Grant in a letter dated February Sd,
used the following memorable language
81 can but regard this whole matter, from
the beginning to the end, as an attempt to
involve me in the resistance Of law, for
which you hesitated to assume the respon-
sibility in orders, and thus to destroy nv
character before the country. l am in a
measure, confirmed in this conclusion by
YOUR recent orders directing me to disobey
orders from the Secretary Of War. nv SUI
perior and your subordinate, without having
countermanded his authority to issue the
orders am to disobey.''
Grant was elected President in Novem-
Der, 1868, and was inaugurated on the 4th
of March, 1859, and again on the 18th of
March, 1878, Twas installed for the second
term. He was the eighteenth President
of the United States On becoming Presi-
dent he had to resign his commission in the
Army. Soon after the expiration of his
second term (May II, 1871 he with some
of the members of his family commenced
his memorable tour of the world, and was
received everywhere by the highest digni-
taries with the greatest honors.
1t looked at one time as if Gen. Grant
| would be nominated by the Republican par
| ty third time for the presidency. But the
| nomination of Garfield in 1880 ended the
''third term" movement, which was ex-
ceedingly formidable in the convention.
| After 1880 Gen. Grant was engaged in
business in New York, and the collapse of
! the firm of Grant & Ward in May, 1884,
preyed upon his mind and did much to has
ten his end. He was at the point Of death
last spring, but he rallied, and it was
| time. After his improvement he was able
to receive visitors and do considerable work
on his history of the war. When the heat
ed term set in the invalid was removed to
Mt. McGregor. The trip fatigued him, and
he sank slowly but steadily. All through
his illness the people of the country, North
and South, read the daily bulletins with
deep interest and sympathy, and now that
Gen. Grant has passed away the country
mourns and prepares to pay the last sad
| tribute of respect.
A few months ago General Grant was
placed on the retired list of the Army, by
an act of Congress, and at the time of his
death held the same rank which he held
prior to the date of his resignation-full
General of the United States Army.

All, what a contrast there will be! The
real bona fde people of Virginia will meet
through their representatives in Richmond
next week [to-day]. They will nominate
tried, and true, typical Virginians, and
will stand them up, erect and free, four
square to all the winds that blow, on a
platform of sound, conservative principles,
couched in decent, decorous, grammatical
language. Against these we shall place
the crazy-quilt, skyrockety candidates of
Mahone's mongrel crew, standing or stoop-
ing on base, abominable TRADE of abuse,
billingsgate, and SANDER, expressed in a
semi barbaric dialect replete with solecisms
and absurdities, and by courtesy called a
platform. Then, to any candid man who
is honestly hesitating, and really desires to
do right, we shall say; "Look upon this
picture and upon that" That will be

Those who wish to advance the interests
of the Democratic party in the present
important canvass should take the proper
steps to have every voter supplied with
Democratic paper, and they should unite
with others in raising sum sufficient to
supply all in their neighborhood. Many
do not take any paper, and Republican
papers are sent gratuiuously to many-all
such should be supplied with good DEM
cratic paper, and it would not require a
great sum in each neighborhood to effect
this purpose. The cheapest and the most
effective mode of increasing the Demo
cratic vote, is to furnish Democratic news
papers to the voters. Each neighborhood
should, without delay, send us large clubs
at the low rates given above.
In making up clubs, the names need not
be confined to one Office. We will send to
any addresses furnished.

The white men in Gen. Mahone's recent
convention, if not utterly lost to all the
natural feelings of their race, as we'll as of
their State. must have felt out of place and
exceedingly disagreeable when they heard
two negro delegates, Peter Garter and A.
W. Harris, impudently attack and violent
ly abuse two white delegates, Senator Rid
dleberger and Colonel Sims. But they
should not have been surprised, for it is
only natural that their black associates
should deem them no better than them
selves and accord them to the same treat
ment they give members of their own
race; and as the white delegates willingly
left the association of their own for diff
ferent and alien race, nobody but them
selves is sorry for the treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of that race. And
doubtless the knowledge that their black
associates will continue to support Gene
raj Malone to a man more than compen-
safes them for the wounds their pride has
received from the public abuse of two i'm
pudent negroes, and by having that abuse
published from one extremity to another.
