Drawer soldier. He is the comp titor
Of Po'ndexter Dunn for the s. at 10
the House now occupied by the latter,
end it ie not too much to claim that
he stands good chance of securing
the nomination, and, Of course, OF be-
ing elected. He is growing in favor
with every one. His answer TO his
friends in accepting their call to be
candidate from the First District is
Enthusiastically direct. He is not

around parading aud MAJ querading
OF his superior qualifications and vir-
tues, etc, his reply is simply, "Fellow

A gallant soldier, he is gallant gen

member his wife, Mary Fogg Otuy, of
Tennessee, by her admirers called the
",x-exed Juno" by nature and edu-

social circles, aud her life, like many
OF our Southern women, though
frightened by the devoted affection OF
husband, children snd friends, hiss
been passed amidst great anxieties

true wives and mothers are free.
Many woman VIII has led the Sim
pie and humble life of planters

crown. Solomon draws the most elo-
quent picture of such women in the
3lst chapter of Proverbs. If one
would like to know of what stuff our
Southern women are inside, and what
their lives have been, refer them to
that. Many have gone to their hon

Falling Heir 10 Fabulous Wealth by
the Death of "a Distant Relative.

louisville Courier-Journall
A romance in real life has been de-
yeloped in Jacksonville. Twenty-Five
wears ago Mr.. Henry Nagle and wife
adopted little girl in New Orleans.
Her name was Mary Huber, and she
lived with her parents, when the yell
low-feyer broke out and all of the fam
ilv died of the disease except the infant
child. The family papers and every
thing valuable were stolen by burglars,
and the little waif had no means OF
establishing her identity. She knew
that she came from Germany,
but did not know from what city.
Her benefactors brought her to Jeiler-
sonyille and reared her as their own
daughter. As Mr.. Nagle is a gentle
man of considerable means the child
was given every educational advantage.
As She grew up she soon eyinced a
desire to know something Of her rela-
tons and wrote letters to Germany for
wears, but none Of these ELECTED a re-
DIV. Still she was not discouraged
and kept bravely on in her search.
At last, a few days ago, she
received letter from Edward
Huber, a prominent merchant Of Bre-
GEM, Austria, saying that he was her
brother, and had learned of her where
abouts from one Of the letters she had
written. The writer also stated thai
her father did no. die at New Orleans
as was supposed, but recovered, anc
finding that his daughter had disappear
ed and the family had died returned t
the old country and entered into bust
ness. He soon amassed fortune. III
died three years ago, and his last word
were "Be sure to find my lost littl
girl"

PETERSBURG, March %, 1886.
Ii is not known that the liQuor-deaers
Of this city have as yet adopted any
concerted action relative to the local
option question, though it is believed
they would, as q general thing, prefer
to have the fight made as early as pos
sible so as to have the matter settled.
The temperance folks have made no
aggressive move in the premises, and it
really looks as though the fight here will
be nccs s.r for some lime.
1t is reported on the streets to-day
that two well-known young citizens
went over into Chesterfield county this
morning to settle personal miSunder-
standing in a manner conforming to
the rules of the code. Fortunately,
however, combat was prevented
through friendly counsels,
Rev. John McGill, Of Ashland, will
spend the present week in Petersburg,
and will preach every afternoon this
week at St. Paul's Episcopal church.
Rev. DR.. G. j. Gibson went down to
Claremont to-day to assist in the conse-
Grafton of the new Episcopal church
there. A number of our people also
went down with him.
Judge S. Bassett French, of Manches-
ter, is in the city to-day, the guest Of
General S,;;;;h Boiling.
1t is authoritativsly learned that
steam will supersede horses in propel-
ling the street-cars here about the first
of April, and it is believed that it will
be found to be much more economical
power.
The colored people of this section
are discussing the propriety of holding
an agricultural and mechanical fair at
Petersburg next fall, and have already
taken some steps towards organization
and the selection Of a site for the pur-
pose. If they are in earnest they will
doubtless receive liberal aid from the
white people.
Major J. A. Johnston, our city SER
geant, has been kept at home for some
