GENERAL FITZ. LEE AT sTAUNToN.

General Lee was received at Staunton on
Saturday with one of the grandest ovations
ever rendered to an man in the Valley. The
General and Hon. John ". Daniel were
met at the railroad depot by the Stonewall
Band and q large concourse Of citizens, and
escorted with loud cheers to their hotel. A
SQUADRON of mounted men, consisting largely
of his old cavalry, headed by their officers,
had for the last two or three days escorted
General Lee from one speaking point to
another through the county OF RockDrldge,
his progress being one grand ovation. Inc
courthouse was packed and lammed by the
flower of Augustus people, many ladies
being in the audience, and when the dlstln-
guished gentlemen entered the house the
crowd rose to their feet, and with off hats
and clapping Of hands, gave them mag
nificent welcome. Hon. Alexander H H.
Stuart introduced Gen. Lee. He said that
though having passed the span OF human
| life, yet he could not decline the call to pre-

whose name and deeds were historical.

the applause was deafening. AT its conclu-
sion Capt. Bumgardner presented him with
an elegant basket of flowers, saying that
nothing could be more appropriate than the
presentation of these beautiful flowers tc
Fitz. Lee by the widow of Jeb Stuart. This
pleasant and touching episode was greeted
by another round Of applause. Gen. Lee
arose to respond, but could not speak FOL
emotion and sat down, while his breast
heaved and tears coursed freely down hi:
cheeks. His audience was also carried away
with the same sympathetic feeling, anC
many rough hand brushed away q teal
from manly checks.
Hon. John w. Daniel followed in fine
oratorical effort. His arraignment Of the
republican party and its candidates was
whitening, and his tribute to the democratic
party, Cleveland's administration and the
State ticket was splendid. Its close was
the signal for general lovefeast and hand
shaking and congratulations.
After dinner Gen. Lee, who had taker
his seat in an omnibus TO SO to the depot
was surrounded by the crowd, taken bodily
out of the vehicle and placed in q hack
without horses, and the willing crowd
cheering wildly, drew it to the station, fol
lowed by the band and several hundred
people, where he was put upon the cars ant
started for Richmond, while the Stonewal
Band played "Goodby" and the people
shouted themselves hoarso.

Now that most of his Cabinet colleagues

Bayard, who is more exclusive than the
others, will take his vacation. He will

lnnOcuOuS.

NORTHERN REPUBLICANS, with that Sec
tional blindness for which they have become
proyerbial, can readily sec and appreciate
the hardships incident to Northern white
labor by the competition of that of the Chi
nese, but are utterly unable to understand
WHY the white labor OF the South should
suffer in competition with negro labor.
Southern white labor demands and is en-
titled to rs much protection as that of the
North; but the Northern republicans don't
think so.

School Lands Used for Grazing Purposes

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 14.-Colonel Nc
Culloch, one of the special land commits
sioners, has forwarded to the Governor an
elaborate report, showing that the school
lands are being extensively used for free
grazing, in violation of the law, in Preside
county. The report gives the names of a
number of depredators. Some are occu-
plying vast ranges for their cattle where
they have not leased an acre of land, and
others occupy ranges, only small portions of
which they have leased from the State.

IT'S DENIED by some that there can be
any legal prohibition against the manuiac-

Gle is innocuous. But is it? The tat Of

germs of worms that will develop if taken

subjected to heat in the process of manufac-
ture, or to any other process that will kill
those germs, it can readily be seen that

In VIEW OF the immense quantity OF wool
required for the clothing, blankets ana
carpets of this country, the home supply IS
not large enough for tho demand. Inc
price of it, therefore, has not only advanced
but large importations of it have to be
made, notwithstanding the high duty I'M
posed by the existing tariff upon that pro-
duced abroad. Owing to the difference
between home and foreign wool, some OF
the latter is required by the manufacturers
to mix with the former; and therefore the
more of it that is used the greater the
quantity of the home product consumed.

The Weight Of a Shawl.

W. is quite an elderly, wealthy gen
tleman, having for his second wife a
lady many years his junior and much
petted. Any expressed wish of hers
he has at once gratified, if money
could be the medium. One evening
she remarked in her charming way,

500" "Yes, dear" he replied, Il will
bring the money" and the next even
ing, with the assistance of his porter,
he did bring home and placed on the
parlor table fifteen hundred silver
dollars. At the sight of this pile of
metal, weighing nearly a hundred
pounds, the wife exclaimed, "What
are going to do with all that money!"
"Why! love, it's the money you want
ed for tue new shawl" "Good gra-
cious! does it take all that to make

Grants Burial Place.

1t was intended to place the re-

Park, New York, but the place has
been changed to Riverside Park,
New York Riverside Park, where
the remains of General Grant are to
repose, is a narrow and irregular
strip of land lying between River
side avenue and the Hudson river,
from Seventy second street to One
Hundred and Thirtieth street. Be-
tween the western limit and the riv-
er, however, passes the road-bed of
the Hudson River Railway. The
general width of the Park is about
FIVE hundred feet, while its entire
length is some three miles, the area
being about one hundred and seven
ty-eight acres, only a portion of
which has been laid out in walks and
drives, while the forest still retains
the wild picturesqueness of nature.
