Virgin;a's Credit.

1t is all bosh, this talk about the lost
credit of the State. Her per cent.
bonds are selling at about 90. That is
not bad price considering the innu-
merable falsehoods that have been told
concerning her faithlessness. We have
known the time when United States 3
per cent. bonds would not have sold for
60. None were then offered, it is true !;
but it was because even per cents
were below par in gold. Let Virginia
secure a settlement Of her debt under
the law to which both parties stand
pledged, and her per cents will soon
sell up to 9O-possibly higher. All the
bondholders who have funded under the
RIpDLEBERGER bill are on the sidesof
Virginia in her contest with a usurping
Federal court.

Edmunds's Fix.
The Boston Herald says :

"In his letter to the Reform League
Governor Cleveland distinctly said that
smapy now holding such positions have
forfeited all just claim to retention, be-
cause they have used their places for
party purposes, in disregard Of their
duty to the people, and because, in
stead Of being decent public servants,
they have proved themselves offensive
partisans and unscrupulous manipu-
lators Of local party management If
the President has removed any officials
for the reasons here indicated, he has
. done what he said ought to be done,
and what the best public sentiment will
sustain him in doing. But he did not
say that be should remove no officials
for other reasons. The Republican
idea that ciyil-seryice reform requires
the retention of their partisans in all
the Offices is simply the sublimation Of
impndence."
And it begins to look as il the Re-
Z publicans in the Senate had finally come
to rtalizs what the Herald plainly
shows 70 be the case--viz., that in
their eight on the President they have
NOT leg to stand upon. Ed
MUNDs several days ago commenced a
crswfish movement and showed himself
very anxious to be helped to let go.
The fix of!hs Vermont Senator just now
is very suggestive Of that of the duck
that tried 10 open an oyster.

ELKIN, n. c.. January 10, 1886.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Dear Sir,-An argument sprang up
in our office few days ago as to who
was the :" Big Four" in Virginia poll
tics, and what part they took in poll
tics to give them the name of " Big
Four" We noticed in the Dispatch
some time ago that Major Peyton Hale
was one Of the number. Was he elected
to the Legislature any more after the
famous "Readjuster' Legislature y!
Didn't he come out of that Legislature
a Readjuster?
ANY information you can give us on
the above will be thankfully received.
Respectfully, A SUBSCRIBER.
LYBRoCK, WILLIAMS, NEwBERRY,
and HALE were the Big Four"
HALE no doubt left the Legislature as
he entered it--a Readjuster, but not as
a Mahoneite.

MINERAL RAILROAD COMPANY.
Bill to incorporate the Mineral Rail-
road Company was called up on its en-
grossment and third reading by Mr..
Stuart (Mr. CardweH in the chair.
Mr.. Tayenner, of Frederick, said he
had received a number Of letters from
the best people in his county asking
him to oppose the bill, as they did not
think it for their benefit. lie therefore
asked that the bill be recommitted to
the committee.
Mr.. Stuart objected TO the bill being
Iecommitted. The road, he said. did
not run three miles through Frederick
county, and that portion it would great
ly benefit and develop. lie hoped the
bill would not be recommitted. The
only object Of the bill was to get West
Virginia coal transported over the Vir-
ginia Midland railroad to deep water.
Mr.. Stribling hoped the bill would
not be recommitted.
The House refused to recommit the
bill.
Mr.. Tavenner moved to pass the bill
by. Lost.
Several amendments proposed by Mr..
Stribling were agreed to.
Mr.. Tayenner moved to strike ont
the word " Frederick " in the bill.
Dir. Stuart said he could not see how
the bill would be of any practical avail
if the word Frederick was to be
omitted. The only way the road could
be Of any use would be to bridge over
Frederick county or fly over it in bal
loon.
Mr.. Tavenner again strongly OPP
posed the bill.
Mr.. Stuart was perfectly willing to
put the bill of to any special time if
Mr.. Tayenner would suggest day and
hour.
Mr.. Tayenner proposed February
Goth.
NJ, Stuart hoped the House would
OF put the bill off until the goth. He
thought next Friday at 4 O'Clock
reasonably long time.
Mr.. TayeDner acquieSced.
The House agreed to make the bill
the special order for Friday at 1

from the Athenaui

from me n tNeuRNm
OF the many documents that have come
into the hands OF John Cordy JeaflresOn
few are Of greater literary interest, none
is more painful, than the record which
proves that in his early manhood Ben
Jonson was convicted Of felony on his
own confession; that be escaped an ig-
nOminlOus death by pleading his clergy,
that he vas punished for this felony with
forfeiture OF his goods and chattels; aud
was moreover, branded on the Drawn OF
his LETT thumb with the letter Il by the
gaoler OF Newgate in the Old Bailey
courthouse before he was enlarged, in ac-
cOrdanee with a w%ell-known statute OF
the 18th Of Elizabeth. The letter was
known 10 Londoners OF his period no
less than TO LOndOuers OF much later
time as ''the Tyburn r." The felony was
his manslaughter OF Gabriel Spencer. his
fellow actor at the Rose Theatre, COM
mitted sept. -, 159S-the very month in
which every Man in His Humour" was
produced, William Shakespeare being
among the actors Of the company.
It is further learned that the poet fought
with a three-shilling rapier. that he
wounded Spencer in the right side and
that Spencer died instantly in the dueling
field. There is something grimly fantas-
tic In the notion Of so good "a scholar as
Ben JOnson lacking for the book In
order to prove himself capable Of reading
his ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS grotesquely
horrible in the thought that but for bene-
tt Of clergy so bright u genius would
have been hung atTyburn Ike any inlet
tered rascal convicted Of having stolen a
horse or stabbed an enemy In the back.
one would like to believe that Jonson was
marked with nothing fcrcer that q luke
warm iron. II the satirists Of n later
period may be believed, it was not UNI
common for q gaoler in the middle Of the
Seventeenth Century, from regard for a
promised fee. 70 mark a felon with cold
steel. II would be pleasant 20 come upon
evidence that Ben's gaoler marked him
} accidentally with a cold seal.

THE HOT WATER CURE.
How it is Used In the Republics of
Uruguay and Argentine.

How 1t is Used In the Republics of
Uruguay and Argentine.
Mr.. p. Barry writes: "When in the
republics of the Uruguay and the Argen-
tine in 1868, where l met Capt. Burton, l
found that the tea Of Paraguay innate as
a hot infusion used by Englishmen in the
camp did, with mutton, all that is claimed
by your correspondent. The fellows in
the distant camp were often six and eight
weeks without anything but mate and
their sheep, and to my horror found
that each at a meal could eat a merely
sodden shoulder of mutton, which for an
hour had been toasted from a wOodnn
stake over a fire of dry COW dung. The
mutton so prepared was often perfOrce
eaten without bread, salt or pepper, and
then it was always relished for its own
sake, but washed down with mate, why
it was living like a fighting cOckl Still
| am bound to confess that when tue fell
lows from the distant camp visited Bue-
nos Ayres or MonteYideo they made
straight for the cOnfectioner's shop, and
'hObbling' their horses in the street they
gOrged themselves with cake like so
many schoOlboys. Yet the republics of
South America confirm the statements of
your correspondent, with this qualiica-
ton; that the hot water may be infused
mate and hat if fat and sinew are liked
they may be eaten freely. The jewellers
In the camp are the %leanest, the most en-
during. and the healthiest men living,
sixteen miles on horseback before break
fast being as little thought OF as the walk
Of a Lond0ner from the bank to the Stock
Exchange. 1t should be added that chill
dren begOtten in the camp inherit these
qualities, with intelligence beyond their
years from an English point of view.
The boy or girl OF s or 10 years may be
trusted to climb up the fore leg CT a horse
that he or she may chase sheep running
before a storm, TO be headed homeward
to a corral. One word more: A simple
inger-cut on the pampss practically in
wolves lockjaw; and II may therefore be
asked whether this follows from diet OF
hot water and meat without vegetables or
mineral accompaniment.
