SIXTH VIRGINIA INTERNAL REVENUE Dis
TRICr.-Previous to confirm alton by the Sem
ate, the newly appointed Collectors of Internal
Revenue held their offices by temporary COM
missions. Capt. Hamilton Shepperd of the
Sixth Virginia District having been confirmed
involved the transfer of the office from himself
as temporary to the full commissioned collec-
tor. This was done on the 2lst and 22nd of the
present month. The transfer was made by a
thorough inspection of the office by Gen. F. D.
Sewell, Chief of the division of revenue agents.
The count shows in possession S350000 worth of
stamps, and verified all uncollected taxes
There are in the bonded warehouses 2l8,7l8 gal
Ions of taxable spirits. When the Inspector
completed the transfer, he remarked that in
his experience of twenty years in this branch
of the service, he had never observed more
thorough disciplined office, and that Captain
Shepherd was one of the best of officers. There
are Ia the district q counties and cities with
stamp Offices at Lynchburg, Liberty, and Alex
andria in addition to Staunton. The aggre-
gated collections since Capt. Sheppecd took
charge of the district, May 18th, 1885, to 22nd
July, 1886, amounts to 1905 $50 20. The stamp

Syracuse and Little Wonder had not
been fattened for beef, and Signet we
had fed for some time, but she was not
what beef men would regard fat.
Taking everything into consideration,
we think this shows decidedly to the
advantage of Holsteins as beef animals.
The butchers that purchased and cut
up the carcasses of Signet and Little

testimonial as to the quality of these

The Christian religion is fraternal. Its
primitive disciples sauted each other with u
holy kiss, the Oriental symbol of brother
hood. The symbol was no unmeaning sign,
for each disciple held his property under u
mortgage of charity. Almsgiying was a
grace, for all were brethren. He who lack
ed this grace was not compelled to assume it,
because there must be the willing mind be-
fore there could be the gracious deed. He
was made.to fceIsthat.hs grasp was higher
than his reach.
Is this spirit of determination, the logical
outcome OF the Christian faith, dead? Does
the sentiment of brotherhood now triumph
over conventional station What is the reply
of this story?
Not great many years ago an English
earl wounded his foot while cutting down
tree. 1t was a severe wound, and not un-
attended with danger to life. But the best of
medical skill had brought him through the
worst, and The wound was rapidly healing,
when, one day, an awkward iootman let fall
heavy book down upon the woand.
The fall uudid the healing opened the
wound afresh, and brought on last state
worst Than the first. Gangrene set ill., The
earl young man, heard from his physician
that he must die in the vigor of his days
But the saint within him was more pow
erful than his love of life. Sending for the
rector of the parish, he asked that the sacra-
ment of the Lords Supper might be admins
tered to him and at the same time to the foot
man.
The man was brought into The sick cham
ber and the dying nobeman, seeing the SER
wants grief spent most precious moments in
pelsuading him not 10 erieve for his involun-
tary homicide. Then there was "holy com.
muuion" between master and servant, ending
with the prayer that says, Forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors"
Every circumstance recalled the Last Sup
per"-lhe shadow of death, the forgiveness
of injuries, and the sentiment of brother
hood.
10 such n spirit death was peace.
