Peter j. Carter, colored, who many OF
our readers remember as presiding, for q
great portion of its session, over the State
Republican Convention which met in the
Opera House in Staunton some years ago,
died suddenly in Northampton county
last week. He was taken sick on the
steamer Ebing from Norfolk and died soon
after reaching his home. His life was
heavily insured. He was in many respects
a remarkable man, and probably had he
had education, would have been still more
remarkable. He had that greatest OF
gifts for politician. white or black, an
invariable good humor, and as member for
several sessions, of the House of Delegates
was a good deal of favorite with the
Democratic members. At the Staunton
Convention his ''pints of order" created
a good of amusement, but not more than
his announcement that the ability with
which he presided was chiefly to be &C
counted for by the fact that he had
"watched the Hon 'ble Mosshill Hanger
with whom he had served in the House.
He made good deal OF money during bis
career in politics, but spent it as fast az
he made it. A pure black and with un'
doubted natural force of character, he was
a power in Republican politics on the Eas'
tern shore, composed of Northampton and
Accomac counties, for long time, though
since his party went out of power he had
lost his prestige as W; II as the humble
position of light house keeper which he
had held.

wonder if all OF us do not shrink from CHS
immensity and take refuge IN our own
hearts. where alone we can hear the voice
of God. and where at any hour or in any
scene we can find an instant answer to all

ocean that leads me to sort of fanciful
realization of a future life. 1t is that
red arc made by the setting sun, especial

fying landward. The roseate bridge
thrown across the water, swinging with the
waves, the intense and silver brightness
of the centre of the arc framed in the
evening clouds that roll around it, and
the cleaning wings of the birds as they
fash across the disc and disappear in the
shining centre on their way homeward,
somehow bring to my mind the gates aiar

final rest. There may be beautiful pictures

POLITICAL NOTES.

Hon. John GoOde declines being a can.

Congress. The N orfolk Virgiq,ian thinks
it can hardly be doubted "that the Ad-

''fitting tribute to the man" for the Vir-

order restraining the labor Herald''
from the publication of such name until a

the offence of publication, and Mr.. Royal
is now asking the Judge to pass upon the
question, whether its action is not in con-
tempt of his order. At the final hearing
the Labor Herald" will be represented

The friend who kindly supplied the
place of the editor of this paper during
his recent absence, did not in his article
headed ''Bogus Butter" last Friday re-
fleet the views of this journal. We not
only think Congress has the power to tax
oleomargarine to the fullest extent, but
also that the substitution of tax of two
cents per pound by the Senate for the five
cents per pound of the House, was griev.
GUS mistake. We believe that Congress
has the constitutional power just as
strong to tax fraudulent butter as it has
to tax honest tobacco or whiskey. The bill
has now passed both houses, but with the
two cent tax on the imitation butter. and
our farmers may congratulate themselves
on small beginning with chance for an
increase hereafter.

1t will be good day for The Southern
States when the present Constitution of
the United States is changed. Anything
they want to 60 into seems to be barred
off by the Constitution. They wanted,
badly wanted, national aid for education
within their borders. and they wers told
that the Constitution was in the way. They
are Just beginning the dairy business and
are told that the Constitution forbids tax
ing the fraudulent oleomafgarlne out of
existence. They are just starting the iron
industry and are told protection must now
be done away with, because it is and al
ways has been unconstitutional. 1t would
be wise member from the South who
would rise in his seat and prepare an
amendment, or two or three of them, to
this ancient, obstructive but ever present
Constitution, which is always across our
path. It didn't help US when our States
rights we're full of vitality, and now that
the stuhang has been knocked out of them,
it seems to be good deal in the way. A
monument to the man that amends the
Constitution.

OBSERVATIONS OF A RETIRED
VETERAN.

The people are taking their vacation
an imposing three-syllable name for very
tiny slice of holiday taken off an immense
lump of work. OF all the impositions that
know this vacation business, in the way
we take it, is the greatest. Somehow, by
some inexplicable way, it has grown into
custom with men who have business, to
understand that vacation means two
weeks, fourteen days out of three hundred
and sixty five, or one week out of every
twenty-six. And then back again to
work. 1t is like taking poor devil
out of a box once year. and after
giving him breath of fresh air, putting
him back and letting the lid down on him
again. 1t is often said that thing is as
free as air, but to busy man the air is
anything but free. Whiskey, cigars, news.

lazy, untrammelled breathing of fresh air

cart-horse enjoying his dinner out of

business men get their fresh air. They
