TOWSONTOWrl Md, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1886.

There was a wedding shortly after.
All the mammas with manageable sons
shook their heads, and the deacon and
Mrs. Maxwell groaned whenever it was
referred to, and said they'd done their
best, but Dora was headstrong girl
and the will of Providence must be done.
There was none of the linen and
china and plate went into the cottage
that James fitted up for his bride, and
all the broad lands and fine cattle re-
mained for the dowry of the other two
girls. There were few visitors, either,
at the cottage, and of these, very few
who ever failed to lament, in round
about way, over 'Dora's dreadful mis-
take,' as her family called it; but James
only laughed, while his wife obstinately
persisted in growing handsomer and
merrier every day, and the last heard
of them, he had fulfilled the promise he
made her on that bright June morning,
and the deacon was speaking with ex-
ceeding respect and pride of his son-in-
law, Senator Van Buskirk.

Another Warning.

Greene county utters a word Of warning
In the following letter on the subject OF the
State debt. The people OF that county have
not offered single coupon In payment OF
their taxes. and are not In humor to be
approached by the agents Of the bond
holders. Read the letter:
STANARDsynLE, Va, Dec. s, 1886.
10 the Editor tf the Dispatch:
From information received through the
columns Of your paper there are great
many taxpayers In the various cities,

these taxpayers are not knowing what
they do. I am credloly aud reliably In.
formed by the ax.colectors Of this county
Of Greene that not q single coupon has been
offered in the payment OF taxes. This
spsaks well for our people. As a general
rule our patriotic citizens are putting theiI

that they should do so, because they have
made solemn pledge IN different conven.

The Tobacco Tax.

II would be an unfortunate thing for the
Democratic party Of Virginia II the House
Of Representatives should fail at the cur
rent session TO try to have the tax on tobac'
co abolished. The people Of thus State are
not fond Of the internal-revenue system it.

cause Of The perpetuation OF war taxes and
war methods Of collecting taxes. The
latter they dislike almost as much as
they do the tax on tobacco, tobacco.deal'
ers, and fruit brandies. The Tobacco As
ISOLATION OF Lynchburg passed day or
two ago the following resolution:

Pink Pearls.
iPpll.Mall 9azette.l


The present Colonial Exhibition has pro-
minently brought before the public the
striking beauty OF the pink pearl as distln.
guished from the white and black, more
commonly seen in ordinary wear. Pearls
are found OF all shades of color; the rarest
are those Of jet black, seldom met with, and
therefore most valuable. II behooyes the
buyer to be most careful OF whom he pur-
ehases any kind OF colored pearl, as pearls
are easily dyed, but the color u not lasting,
and eau easily be detected by an expert. or
even through the aid OF hand magnlfer.
But the rosy color aud the lovely " orient"
Of the pink pearl will at once strike the
most casual observer, and, when mounted
with brillisnts and white pearls, forms q
most exquisite harmony OF color and
good taste. 81 was struck" says one
OF our representatives, "while stroll.
Ing down Bond street, with the fine
collection Of pick pearls, mounted and I'M

scription OF one ornament l saw: The

mounted with eight diamonds Of the purest
wafer. set at equal distance on an almost
invisible mount, having for pendant
pink pearl OF wonderful colP and shape.
The weight OF this pearl was nearly eighty
grams. Another necklace Of pink pearls,
iptermixed with white drop-shaped pearls
and diamonds, showed the great taste With
which the lovely gems were mounted.
Passing from these, though with some re.
Iuctance, fcasted my eyes on 'ropcs OF
pearls OF every size. oBe row more es-

Boomerang.

Mr.. BLAISE's inventive genius IL pretty
generally admitted. Indeed the tcmpera-
ture Is very low when he cannot invent a
story TO suit bis purposes. But The Plumed
knight has not escaped the fate which too
frequently overtaSes those OF an ingenious
turn OF mind. His Philadelphia romance,
IN which the negro at the South
was hero living on starvation
wsges, has returned In various forms to
plague him. First, we had facts aud figures
nom a humber OF southern and western
papers to show that he was a little too in
vtntive. Then, Judge KELLEY. who has
been making tour OF the South,
proved that the Plumed Knight
allowed his Imagination to run riot.
Now, his great invention comes back
to him In the form OF regular
boomerang. A western contemporary, CON-
menting upon the fact that the places oil
striking negro stevedores at Norfolk had
been sup 2lied by northern men, says:
"Mr. Blaine's attention is respectfully
directed TO this fact. What the negro labor
OF the South needs Is protection against
northern pauper labor"

A Gratifying Sign.

The Providence journal, in its review Of
the Presidents message, says;
at is to be said Of this message that it
deals with the topics involved. as . rule,
IN thoroughly ineligible manner. As TO
the main subjects, 1t is in accord with the
judgment and patriotism OF the country.
II the Democratic party IN Congress would
imbibe its spirit and act upon its recon-
mendations in reasonable way, the nation
would be delivered from much Of the
anxiety which now Expresses it,"
Another evidence Of the fact that our ci
forts to convert the journal have not been
IN VAN. We shall not be surprised il we
succeed eventually in making a sound
Democratic paper OF our Providence
contemporary. Certainly its great abili-
ty, which for years had been mis-
directed, is veering In the direction Of the
right channel. Seriously speaking, how
ever, comments such as the above from a
paper Of the Journals pronounced Repub-
lcan views are gratifying sign OF the
times.

The test consisted In talking over a

perfect. The new invention differs from
