THE FOUR-MILE RUN BRIDGE.

10 lie editor Of The alexandria Gazette:
l noticed an item in the local columns o!
last Wednesdays GAZETTE, under the head
ing of "a dangerous ford" in which Tie
statement is made that there is no bridge
across the Four mile run for teams any
where i'll the county, except ut the old toll
gate. sc.
The persons furnishing this interesting
news to your reporter are evidently COM
parative strangers in our county, or they
would have known Of the existence Of at
least one other bridge crossing the stream
in question besides the one at the old toll
gate. About one mile west of the old toll
gate, and possibly = few hundred yards east
Of the above mentioned dangerous tord,'
located on the old telegraph or gravel road,
a very solid, substantial stone bridge crosses
the run 1t is two-arched structure, and
has successfully resisted the lreshets of the
stream for over three-guarters of a century.
The road leading north from this bridge,
for the distance Of half mile or so, has
been allowed to fall into disuse, but could
be repaired and made passable for teams at
less than half the expense it would cost 10
build wooden bridge at some other point,
and would reopen to public travel one of
the finest roads in the country.

ARAB WOMEN AS FIGHTERs.-From the
earliest period of their history the women of
the desert tribes were as celebrated for their
skill with lance and bow as for that bronze
beauty which the composers of the quasidah
or the meallakat were never weary of de-
scrbing. Before Islam it was the boast Of
many Arabian tribes, as it was afterward of
certain Tartar hordes, that their women
could fight as we'll as the men; the Hima.
rites were among the most famous of these.
All through those ancient Arabian poems,
to which Mahomet is said to have referred
for final authority for the meaning of certain
words Or phrases in the Koran, one finds
legends of Arab girls celebrated for their
equestriansm, their dexterty with the scim.
etar. and even for the number of men they
have overcome in single combat. Islam, by
subordinaling the woman to the man, and
destroying the idea Of male and female
equality, did much to extnguish the warrior
spirit of the fair sex throughout the greater
part of the Orient but in the deserts of
Arabia and Northern Africa something of
those ancient ideas still prevail.

Major Conrad on the Campaign.

Major Holmes Conrad, OF Winchester, in
an interview in Washington last night, is
reported as saying:
"Mahoue has brought new element into
the Virginia campaign. and it has made the
result moro doubtful than heretofore. He
is expanding great deal Of money in the
close counties. This will have no effect
upon Gen. Lees election, which is assured,
hut that is not what Mahone is fighting for
With him the Governorship is Of secondary
Importance, and he is concentrating all his
energies on procuring a majority in the
Legislature TO do this he has to carry,
besides the republican counties, fourteen
counties which gave democratic majority
in the last election, and Of these nine gave
less than one hundred majority and five
little more than one hundred. Here is
where the Mahoneites are making their
strongest fight. and, as there is a great deal
of purchaseable material in Virginia, the
final result becomes doubtful when money
is brought to hear upon it. The Malone
party never expected to elect the Governor.
Wise's campaign, from the first, has been
but blind to divert the attention of the
democrats from the actual fight, which was
being made to carry the Legislature. Re-
Gently this has been apparent in Mr.. Wises
conduct, and it is easily seen that he does
not expect to be elected. The republicans
have made strong fight. They have used
three methods. One was to trade off voters
that is, promising to give Lee majority
in certain counties provided republican
members of the Legislature are elected;
another was to incite, probably by con-
sideration, certain dissatisfied democrats to
offer themselves as independent candidates
in several counties, thus splitting the dem
ocratic vote; and tho other is the use Of
money. All Of them arc potent, and have
been to a certain extent successful. Wise
would willingly lend himself TO scheme of
this sort in order to re-elect Malone to the
Senate. 1t was his only chance of future
preferment. IfMahone gets one majority
in the Legislature his first action Will be to
discover imaginary democratic frauds, and
on this will turn out about twenty-hve dem
ocratic members, replacing them with re-
publicans. This will give Wise an oppor-
tunity to contest Lees election, and the
matter will have to be decided by Mahone's
Legislature. You can, however, bet on Lees
election, and don't think you would be far
out to bet on democratic Legislature Also"
