Finally.

We were not mistaken when we
guessed the other day that the Lynchburg
Adrapce had never seen the PROPOSE
ton which Messrs. JOHN A. HANDLE
Ton 4 Co. recently Swallowed forth
rs one that would be acceptable to the
bondt olders. Commenting upon that
proposition as it appeared in our pa
p,r last week, the Adrdnee says;
ave confess not TO have seen the
exact terms Of settlement contemplated
by the parties above referred TO, and
thought they meant something tangible
and practicable. But we are free 20 say
that il their terms Of compromise are
such as our friend Of the Dispatch nov
demonstrates. then we can see no use
Of any further a,t,mpt at compromise.
The terms ofthe Riddleberger bill have
been our pltindfum ever since thst bill
became law, and il the bondholders
cannot agree 20 accept such terms then
there will be no use Of any more par
Ieyipg about the matter. As TO s3O,-
600. 900 with 4 per cent, il is simply
absurd. The people Of Virginia will
never consent to il, and Messrs. Royal
and llambleton, the agents, ought to
have sense and prudence enough TO
know this fact and to SO inform their
principals"
And so say we all. Why should we
tnbarTass the oilioers Of the Common
wealth and run the risk OF again d.
yiding the Democratic party into two
factions on the debt question, by adgo-
eating imprActicable plans Of settling
The State debtg The bondholders rely
upon force. They put their trust IN a
stlfexecu,ing cortrac,--solie executing,
however. only because the Federal
courts usurp jurisdiction in suits
q. ainst the Commonwealth. They
profess to believe the ilay ~.
everything TO gain and nothing to
lose by delay, but the intelligent
people Of Virginia are not to be
deceived by pretences Of that sort.
The members Of the General Assembly
feel confident that when even one Of
the present Justices Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States shall have
left that bench, that tribunal will re-
verse the decisions in the Virginia cOu-
pom cases, just as it reversed the deci
sion in the legal-tender case as SOON as
two new Justices were put upon that
bench.
The bondholders count as their allies
all virginians who in any way manifest
q willingness TO desert the RIDDLE
BERGER bill.
But to return to the bondholders'
proposition. Our Legislature in 1866
funded interest, and thus bound the
State for interest upon Interest. Ia
1871 the same policy was adopted.
The unpaid interest was funded and the
Stste made to pay interest upon inte-
rest. The McCULLoCH bill made a
like provision. In all these cases ii
was provided that all or part of the
matured interest should be funded
And now upon top Of this mountain o.
interest thus made principal the bond
holders propose to add another stratum
Of the same sort.
In word, all that it is necessary fol
any good yirginian to do in order t.
cause him to adhere firmly to the RID
DLEBERGER settlement, is to learr
from the agents and attorneys of tn
bondholders what sort of terms thest
would be willing to accept.

A Chat About Oatmeal

No one can live long in Scotch
community without noticing the health
full look of the children whose food con-
sists largely of oatmeal, compared with
those fed on fine grains, or even groats,
which are the same only without the
husks. This chaff or husk, however,
which if left in the meal. contains some
points that ACT as 4 stimulant on the
coats Of tie bowels TO keep them active
without medicine, and rendor this food
OF great benefit to the dyspeptic. There
is no method of cooking oatmeal equal
to the making of porridge, and when
properly prepared it is generally 4 IA
vorite dish for breakfast. What makes
your oatmeal porridge so good?" is q
frequent question in our house from
strangers, and they think the meal must
be of superior quality. But to prepare
it properly the water must be boiling,
necessary salt added, and the oatmeal
then stirred in slowly by sitting it
through the fingers. The process must
not be hurried ii Jumps would be avoid
ed. When it begins to boil up well,
stop stirring and close the pot tightly.
Set at the back of the stove while you
cook the rest OF tho breakfast. Lift the
porridge without any more stirring, as
it is this that breaks the grain and
makes it waxy. The Scotch do not stir
with spoon, but with smooth. fiat
tened stick called 4 ''Spurt,e," that any
one can make according to their own
idea. This gives more evenness to the
mixing. and if cooked in this way the
porridge viii be sweet, whole-grained
and wholesome.-Annie l.. Jack, IN
Good Housekeeping.

A Story OF Gen. BoulanSer.

NJ. Robert Mitchell, in the Pays, re-
lates an unpublished episode in the
military career OF Gen. Boulanger, min
lister of war. In 1871 Gen. Osmond was
operating in the direction OF Bourg-la-
Refine against the communists, and had
commanded 4 young lieutenant to carry
at the bayonct's point 4 barricade which
commanded the Paris road. Take some
men with you." he said; do not give
them any cartridges. At midnight ad-
vance, try 10 get rs near rs possible to
the enemy without attracting attention,
and whom you are discovered charge
with the bayonct! Behind the barricade
YOU will doubtless find the cross of the
Legion of Honor" The lieutenant,
having formed his men, according to
command, at midnight, was preparing
TO advance when Col. Boulanger arrived
in undress, cane in hand. The lieuten-
ant could not conceal his vexation.
Doubtless the colonel was going to COM
mand the small force, and the promised
cross would fade from the horizon. The
colonel saw what was passing in the
mind of the lieutenant, and fastened to
reassure him. ~ have nothing to DO
this evening"" said he, land have come
here to amuse myself. l will follow your
company rs an amateur, without pre-
tending to command"
The order to march was given. At
sixty PAGES from the barricade all the
men and tie two officers extended them
selves on the ground and tried to get as
near as possible on their hands and
knees: On a sudden the federalist senti-
mel, who was guarding the barricade,
leaned forward, listened, and thon spoke
to his companions.
1--WE are discovered" murmured the
lieutenant in the ear of the colonel.
I'VE can not prevent 4 general dis
charge, and shall lose some of our men. :"
VERY WELL" replied the colonel.
This is what must be done. Twill get
up suddenly; they will fire at me and
miss me, and, before they can reload,
you can carry the barricade.'
'.But, colonel, this is my duty"
There is no but in the case, and
for this occasion resume the command.
Stay where you are, and don't get up
till l tell YOU
The colonel suddenly stood upright in
front of the federalist chassepots. AS
he had foreseen, he was fired at and
missed. Then, with loud voice he
called out:
Forward, my lads. at tdouble-quick."
The barricadc was carried with the
loss of one man.

Don't Jndarvaluc the Boy.

Tie foilcwing sound reasoning we
find in the 4nlcrjcg,i <iqricuititrist. II
would be 4 benefit to both fathers and
their sons il IFS preccpts were more often
regarded.
leo many men make their bovs feel
that they are Of little or rc account
while they are boys. Lay II response
biliiy on 4 boy, and he viii meet il in :,
manirl spirit. On 40 account ignore
their disposition to investigate. Help
them to understand things. Encourage
them to know what they are about. We
are too ap: to treat Z boys seeking aft
er knowledge as mere idle curiosity.
Don't ask questions" is poor advice to
boys. II yoI do not explain puzzling
things to them, you oblige them to make
many experiments before they find out;
and though experimental knowledge is
best IN one sense, in another it is not,
for that which can be explained clearly
does not need experimenting with. II
the principle involved is understood,
here is ro further trouble, and the boy
c;al 60 ,.iic:,I intcliigently.
Do not wait for Inc boy to grow up
before you begin to treat him as an
equal. a proper amount Of confidence,
and words OF encouragement and adj
vice, and giving him to understand that
yoa trust him in many ways, helps 10
make ri:n of him long before he is
man in either stature or years.
The Boston Journal of Commerce also
makes 4 good suggestion to parents
apropos to the above.
Give him tools, says the writer, and
lei him find out fcr himself whether he
has got any mechanical taste or not
Do not discourage him, is parents are
ap: to do. BY saying: ..Oh. it is no use
for you to try to do anything with tools.
L never have any taste that way, and of
course You have not" If boy finds
he can maze few articles with his
hand, ii tends TO make him rely on HIM
self. And the planning that is neccs-
sary for the execution of the work is .
discipline and an education of great
value TO him. The future welfare and
happines of the boy depends on the sur
Ioundings of his youth. When he ar
rives at that period in his life when he
is obliged TO choose what profession or
what line of business to follow, it is
highly important that he should take
