COMMUNICATED.

The commencement at Shepherd Col
lege was elegant and pleasant. All the
addresses were highly creditable to
their authors. Miss May Murphy was
bright, witty and vivid. That of Miss
Ida Beauregard Kearncy was able, brill
liant and instructive, and by an obtuse
comprehension might have been taken
for eulogy upon "woman's rights and
strong-minded women" but deeper
penetration could not resist the convic-
zion that her effort placed diadem of
sparkling jewels upon the head of every
female, while it placed wreath of I'M
fading laurels upon her own. We are
esteemed the weaker half of creation, but
her effort has proven that in some in
stances, at least, we are mans equal in
eloquence and genius. 1t was an effort
OF which the professors OF Shepherd Col
lege and its pupils may well be proud.

A Gentle Hint.-Just now when
there is dearth Of local news the coun-
try press is well filled with gentle hints
like the following, which we clip from
the Fulton Telegraph. 1t is true and
will fit some men in every town in the
State: "Whsn marriage occurs in ones
family, he likes TO see mention Of it in
his local paper. When his folks are Wis
tied or visiting, he expects to see it in
the paper. But when by sending to
some city he can get printing done a
little cheaper, he frequently overlooks
the fact that his home paper is employ
ing hands and paying them weekly,
part of which is pretty sure to be spent
at his place of business, paying taxes
to support the town, keeping the coun-
try around informed as to home news,
inducing trade to come to town, etc.,
while he ignores home efforts and for
few paltry cents sends to some other
city, where press run by a twenty-five
cent boy or convict, get. out bills,
note heads, ETC., OH inferior paper and
inferior work for only a few pennies
less than he would have to pay for
good job done at home"

GIor,ou. Raiu.-It had been

A Glorious Rafn.-It had been
very long time since a good rain had
visited this section, therefore the heavy
down-pour that came last Saturday was
mol than welcome. The growing corn
needed rain, the gardens were suffering
for it, cisterns were empty, the farmers
ponds were dried up, and persons were
becoming anxious over the long con-
tinued drouth. There had been plenty
of signs for rain, but they had failed
every time. So on last Saturday, when
heavy cloud gathered in the West and
then moved around to the North Of us,
the watchers thought we had missed it
again. But friendly current of wind
drove the cloud over this way, aud a
few big drops came down just to show
what was coming after. Then they
came faster and bigger until a good old
fashioned rain was in progress. The
thirsty earth at first drank it in as fast
as it fell, but soon the water began to
spread in littlo lakes that developed into
miniature rivers, gathering in volume
as they ran. The parched trees turned
their leaves all around to get part Of
the refreshing bath, and the plants held
up their heads and Immediately began
to grow. How it did rain 1t was max
ing up for lost time, and it did the heart
good to feel its refreshing power.
The rain lasted more than an hour.
The cutters could not hold the streams
that ran in them, and in some places
the water spread from curS to curb.
The rain extended generally in this
county, and in some places the fields
were washed quite badly. But the good
that was done was intellectually greater
than the damage sustained. A couple
of hours after the rain had ceased, the
water from the Valley south Of town
through which the railroad runs reach
ed town, and the whole Of "Frog Island"
was submerged. Princess street was
well-conditioned for boating, while the
gardens had water enough to last for a
couple OF years. The cabbages were
completely submerged and the lima
beans only succeeded in saving them
selves by hastily crawling up the poles.
Our friend Mr.. Keeseoker was heard to
A. -.
ducks-four-legged ones and all. A
couple of gentle showers on Sunday
added to the general good done by Sat-
urday's rain.

COI. nOtelcEB DAACAAAAh%' He
Washington correspondent of the Alex
andria Gazette relates the following
story about our esteemed friend, Col.
A. r. Boteler: Senator Beck, accom-
panied by beautiful young lady, called
upon Mr.. Aleck Boteler, of West Vir-
ginia, pardon clerk in the Department
of Justice, day or two ago, to urge
the pardon OF the brother of the young
lady referred to, who had been convict
ed Of the infraction of one of the U. 5.
statutes. Mr.. Boteler did all it was
possible for him to dc in the matter,
and gave printed form of recommen-
dation for pardon to the Senator to take
to the Attorney General for his sigma
re if he would approve it. The lady
remained in Mr.. Boteler's room. In
short time the Senator returned and
handed the paper back to Mr.. Boteler.
The latter hesitated about opening it,
lest the lady might faint if the pardon
was denied, and might do the same II II
was recommended. But finally open
ing it, he saw the recommendation had
been made. Just as he expected, the
lady swooned; but, recovering herself
in a moment, she arose, and, opening
her arms, advanced toward him. He
backed behind his desk, and pointing to
MI. Beck, said, "him, him." but when
she turned toward Mr.. Beck, he retreat
ed toward the door, and pointing to
Mr.. Boteler, repeated the latters words,
saying, chin, him." The lady by that
time had regained her self-posSesSion
entirely, and advancing toward neither,
expressed her thanks to both.
