An Epidemic of Hay Fever.

There is a small epidemic of hay fever in
the city this year. Hundreds Of people are
afflicted with that mysterious disease, which
the doctors say is not a disease and for
which they are unable to do anything. Pco-
pie with weeping eyes and with noses that
require an unusual supply Of handkerchIefs
are to be met with everywhere. There have
been sporadic cases OF hay fever in this
city heretofore, but never until now has
there been anything like as epidemic Of that
ailliction, Mr.. Mari, the venerable chief clerk
Of the First Assistant Postmaster General,
who has resided in the city for half cen
tury, says that he never saw anything like
the manner In which the hay fever is getting
In its work this year. He knows many
people who now have 1t and who were
never before troubled with similar com
plant. II looks as If Washington was
going to be bay fever market.

Another Virginia Vendetta.

There are fears in Virginia OF further
trouble growing out OF the deadly street
fight which occurred at Martlnsvllle in
May last between the Spencer aud Terry
brothers. A Danyille special to the Baltl-
more Sun says that ever since the trial, on
which John ID. Spencer and Y. W. Stultz
Were acquitted, there has been bitter feel
ing OF hostility on the part OF the country
people OF Henry County towards the citi
zens Of Maltinsville, aud this feeling has
been intensified by the shooting of Dick
Bausman by j. l.. Darlington, editor OF the
Martinsyille Neus. 1t is now rumored that
friends or the Terrys and Bausman have
organized band forty-nine strong for the
purpose Of lynching Darlington, $. ID.
Spencer and G. &. Dckerson, the latter Of
whom is said to have shot VIII Terry. The
report said 1t was the intention OF the mob
to 90 to Martinsville Wednesday night for
the purpose indicated, but the matter
leaked out aud the Martnsville people were
put on their guard. The information comes
from an engineer on the road through
Henry County, aud he says the matter Is
much talked Of along the line of the road ,
that the men say the lynching has only been
deferred, aud certainly 1t will be accom-
plished

MIR. BLAINE,s CANVASS.

Mr.. Blaine closed his campaign in
Maine last night The results of his
canvass, so far as they have made any
impression upon the country, must be
disappointing. 1t is evidently an off
year for Blaine, as it is for the politi,
clans generally.
He started out by saying that he hal
no new nostrums to offer for the ills of
the body polite. 1t would have been
better for him, perhaps, to have taken
fresh departure. 1t would certainly
have been more interesting for his
hearers. Tariff statistics are no longer
entertaining, especially since the peo-
pie have learned that they can be fur.

In neither of these points did he
achieve success enough to cause any

immediate friends. Altogether his
campaign has not been the success that
was predicted of it.

AN ANCEsTRAL HAUL.

Lord Lowell came over the blowy sea
To win an American maid,
He posi- essed a remarkable ancestral tree,
CTwas all that he had, I'm afraid.
Miss Bullion was fair and had ducats hoard,
And servants to come at her call,
They were suited exactly, She captured the
lOrd
And also his ancestral hall.
Lord Lowell grinned broadly as over the sea
lie sailed with his beautiful bride
He knew twas not he, but his long pedigree
That had won her, whate'er might betide,
While her shekels were welcome as blossoms
In spring,
Or as new overcoats in the fall.
He knew perfectly well he had got a good
thing
And had made quite an ancestral haul.

How the President Got shot

1t was on the Both of August in Sanders
ravine, near the foot of Mt. Iceland, and the
story is thus told by correspondent Of the
Boston Adrertiser:
"The hounds were brought out and the
start was made. The hunt was long one
and fruitless one, only few partridges
being bagged. 1t was getting dark when,
as the party was returning, the trail of a
deer was struck, and ten minutes after
ward the President had sighted him. Kneel-
ing, he took deliberate aim. The gun must
have been loaded for bear, or else loaded at
the wrong end. Any way, when 1t went of
the President went teo--in the opposite di-
rection. The gun had kicked and laid the
President, heavy as he is, on his back fairly.
The deer was not hurt, but was terribly
scared, judging from the way in which he
made of with Major and the other dogs at
his heels. Twenty minutes later the same
deer went flying past the camp, closely fol
lowed by the dogs, and was shot dead not
twenty yards from Mrs. Cleveland, very
much TO her surprise. She says that Col
onel Belo is the best shot in the party"

FREE SPEECH.

1t was Mr.. Jefferson, we believe,
who remarked that error may safely
be tolerated as long as reason is left
free to combat it. The proposition IS
glitlering generality. It Is just as
true tnat all men are born free and
equal which everybody knows not to
be the fact IL Is olao quite as true
that the country IS s,'eas long rs thsre
