Capt. Frank Keeling died Monday

The North German Gazette, the
officials organ Of Emperor William Of
Prussia admits that the feeling In
Fnnce toward Germany has created q
similar feeling in Germany towards
France and warns the latter that her
official relations will suffer If the anti
Germany feeling is farther aroused.
The prediction made shortly after the
close OF the last Franco-P Prussian war
that 1t was only question Of time
when the two Powers would again
meet in hostile combat, will doubtless
be realized In q few years and q war,
more fearful in its consequences than
any yet had between these two enc

Prussia have been putting their mill

war break out Prussia will enter the

added band that starts from the neck

opinion, to this overwhelming display

be in good taste. There are gslloons
also which are entirely Of beads, and
are notched or scalloped along one edge,
the scalloped edge being studded with
larger beads.
Buttons form an important feature in
present fashions. For mourning they
are Of black wood or Of faceted solid
jet. There are buttons which may be
considered objects Of art rather than Of
industry. Solicitations, Tor instance,
encrusted and encircled with gold and
with Louis Quinze scenes in enamel
tiny pictures, in which figure shepherds
and shepherdesses, sheep and dogs.
For such wraps as long travelling or
waterproof cloaks, busters, and jackets
there are large wooden buttons, with
steel nail-heads, or cut jet dots, or else
large metal buttons, with birds or human
figures chased or in open-work. In ad-
dltion to these there are heraldic but
tons, with coats. of-arms and medieval
figures, in old gold or bronze and red
gold; then there are Japanese buttons
and lastly, buttons Of Cordovan leather
with raised-work. The size Of the
button is chosen With reference to the

sized buttons, while the very large
sizes are for long clOaks /; exceptions

With this money he crossed the At

sources, and shipped for home as q
sailor. The ship became water-logged
in mid-ocean, and be and other suryi-

his last penny in that port, sold a field

Meeting % Bear I'm the Road.
[Cumberlapd News

Last week Fred. Himmler, of the firm
of F. Himmler & Co., Mill street, this
city, was riding in his buggy along the
road ten miles south of Moorield,
Hardy county, W. Va, when a huge
shs-bear came bounding into the road
Just in front Of bis horses. Mr.. Hmm
Ter drew his revolver and fired two
shots at the bear, the second taking
effect in her ribs. Just then a
man with q big rifle came out
q the woods from the same direc-
ton as the bear, and, bringing his
gun TO his shoulder, sent a ball
into the bears head, and she rolled over
dead. In few minutes two cubs
the size Of large puppies-appesred on
the scene, and Himmler and the hunter
proceeded to capture them, receiving a
number Of little bites and big scratches
in so doing. After the excitement was
over the hunter, whose name Mr..
Himmler has forgotten, told him he had
been bunting the bear for several days,
and after consultation it was deter
mined that be should have the CARCASS
snd Mr.. Himmler the cubs, which the
latter brought with him to this city last
evening.

of abiding strength aud sheltering care,
and as II il were ever ready as refuge
for quiet retirement for any spare mo-

mans had settlements at all the princi-
pal points along the Rhine, and recent

once belonged to them have been made.

ing and improving, though 1t still
cliDgs to old customs. When we
were there the semi-annual fair was
going on, which only consisted, as far ss
we could judge, Of a couple OF hundred
small canvas-covered stalls that con-
tanned all sorts Of paltry goods, bed
zened to give them tempting look.
Mainz boasts Of possessing not only the
house Of Gutenberg, the first printer,
but also the relics Of bis press. A fine
statue by Thorwaldsen was erected
to him in 1887 by the citizens Of his
native town. The castle, now a
museum, has capital collection OF
Roman antiquities, found chiefly at
MaiDz and the neighborhood. On the
outskirts Of the town are some fine gar
dens, with restaurants aud cafes, much
resorted to whenever the weather per-
mits.
COLOGNE.
From Mainz we made an interesting
expedition on a steamboat down the
Rbire as far as Cologne. The accom-
mediation on the boat was not what the
least exacting would call good, it was
Just bearable, but as il lasted only seven
hours we agreed not to groan too much
over it. Every step of the ground
along our route is Of historical or
legendary note, some incidents dating
from remote times, but some being of
decidedly modern invention and growth.
The whole length Of the Rhine is his
toric, but this stretch may be said to
have history built into il, for the many
dilapidated castles that still crowd
thickly on each other along both banks
have centuries Of warlike deeds to re-
late, and, like the odor of roses in
the miDstTel's vase, they remain
to give more than faint ink
ling Of what went on in times
past. These castles were built at an
era when foes were accustomed to crap.
pie at close quarters, and the short
distance between these strongholds is
very striking in these days Of long shots.
| should not wonder if the next gene
ration Of sight-seers take to believing
the castles have been set up as pic
turesque objects suitable to attract the
admiration Of gullible tourists. Fancy
seeing your deadliest enemy every day
only Just outside of bow.shot. Youmust
naturally wish to use him for target.
1t was scarcely likely the neighboring
castles were on terms Of friendship for
more than twenty-four hours at once
from the look Of things, for all sacrifice
every thing TO defence and resisting
power. Many of the castles have been
restored, and there is strange fascina-
ton about them all which is enhanced
by their following each other in quick
succession. MILDRED RUSSELL.

VIRGINIA JOURNALISM.
Some Corrections About the History
Of the virginia Gazette

RICHMOND, June q, 1886.
10 The Editor of the Dispatch:
Dear Sir,-Mr. r. A. Brock, Secre-
tary of the Virginia Historical Society,
in reply to correspondent in the Dis
patel OF May |, 1886, says that the first
Virginia Gazette appeared at Williams
burg, Va, in July, 1876. | have con.
suited many authorities and all agree
that the Gazette first appeared in August
Of that year.
William Rind, who commenced the
publication of the Virginia Gazette at
Williamsburg in May, 17GG, died
August 10, 1873. Clementinn Rind,
his wife, on the 18th April, l774, sold
to Blair, Tazewell, and others all Of the
Gazette material, &c. Mr.. Brock says,
"She was succeeded by John Pinckney
Pinkney, it should be-, who soon died,
and the paper was discontinued before
the Revolution"
From reading the foregoing account
of Mr.. Brooks one would suppose that
Pinkney died early after 1873, and be-
fore tie Rerohtioa.
Now, if Purdie & Dixon published
the Virginia Gazette until the COM
mencement of The Revolutionary War,
and Purdie alone published it several
years during the contest, as Mr.. Brock
maintains, it is monstrous to say, and
history recoils from the Authorization
Of the statement, that Pinkney, (gho
came many years after Purdie) "sooD
died, and the paper was discontinued
before the Revolution" History has
rot the slightest scintilla Of authority
for claiming that Pinkney was Mrs.
Kinds successor. The data that Howe
and Thomas had access TO lacked gen.
uineness.
The truth is, Pinkney bought the
printing establishment Of Blair, Taze-
well, and others, and Jacob Bruce be-
came his security in l775 mot l773l,
and it was from this date that Pinkney's
editorial career commenced

twelve years old, and in good condition.
The document is drawn up in quaint
style, and under seal common in that
day, which | would be pleased TO con-
tribute to the valuable collections now
belonging to the Virginia Historical
Society.
These corrections Of Virginia history
in part, which | deem worthy OF con-
sideration, ere respectfully submitted.
