FINISHING TIE FAss1Ss wssasEEs.
Bill Eye Tells How the Necessary Funds
We're Ralsed-Too Much Zeal.

My DEAR SoN.-I ought to of answered
your last letter before this, but, to tell
the truth we have had another of them
pesky Eoodeos at our house for the pur.
pose Of finishing off the woodshed of the
parsonage, and I've been mighty busy.
For twodays l was choring around the
kitchen, carrying wood and water and
borrowing dishes of the neighbors till
you can't rest. Since the ruction was
over I've been mostly engaged in think
ing about il.
Our home paper gave us good notice
and said it was success; also that every
one presen. enjoyed it hugely. 1t allu-
ded to me as genial cuss, or words to
that effec., and said your mother was the
life ofthe party. She was.
Your mother believes that seads be-
come purified as quick as they light in
the plate. no matter where they come
from. / am more conservative. ! hest
tate to knock man down with dough-
nut and then 90 through his clothes. ]
aim TO be Christian, Henry, but not
strongly seetarian in views.
So it hurt my feelings little to see
your mother rare around through the
crowd Tuesday night and peddle bokays
of these here little blamed geranium
blows that falls off as soon as you pin
them onto your coat and laugh onct
or twict.
Somehow it made me nervous, aud the
goose flesh stood out all ever me foot
high. II amt ike your mother to go
around at her time of life, with boy 20
years old and real camel's hair mus
tache. and learning more blamed foreign
stuff than you can shake stick at. ]
say it amt like her and know she
wouldn't do it If ii wasn't for her zeal,
as she calls it. Zeal is embittering my
declining years, Henry. Zeal and skin
games and raffies and tee hee hee and %
cents please, and the whole confidence
game has made me prematurely sour.
| am no man to complain, but, Henry,
If you 20 into any church In this country
to day you will find three-quar.ers of the
congregation is women; they are noble
women, too. God bless good woman,
Henry, is what / say. We like to have
our mothers snd our wives and our
sisters Christians, even if we are inclined
to be liberal in our own views; but the
kind Of zeal that fills up churches with
overworked women, while the sulky
husband and father is at home trying to
digest a large three-cornered fragment
Of sorrel cake that was left over from last
weeks debauch and benefit, is mis-
take.
We have voted cradle quilts TO the

young friends who are "doing" Virginia
Our senior has soft place in his heart
for Eastern Shore, both Maryland and
Virginia, and he took the boys in for
Norfolk's attractions. Taking the picket
launch at 1880 o'clock, they crossed to the
navy yard, where they were kindly re-
ceived by the heads Of the various de-
partments, who explained to them the
many articles of interest in the yard.
The ordnance department was particular
ly attractive, and to Mr.. Frank Nolan,
the efficient head, they are indebted for
much valuable information. Capt Nir-
ginius Freeman, also was very clever, and
visit to the famous Dolphin, which
created such stir some time since, was
much enjoyed, the officers being very
clever and courteous. AT o'clock, the
Old Point Comfort was boarded, and q
beautiful sail to Old Point was enjoyed
In the evening, the boys engaged in
dancing, and remained over at the Hygela
to spend the day looking through the
fort and Hampton. The News extends
its best wishes for pleasant day and
trim"

One night last week as VIM. Gates
was driving team, belonging to Mr..
John Barber, to Wilmington, two men
appeared, and while one caught the
horse the other jumped into the wagon.
Mr.. Gates reached behind him, for pis-
tol as the robber supposed, and he ex-
claimed I'm not afraid of your pistol"
1t turned out to bea peck measure which
Mr.. Gates brought down with considera-
bic force upon the head of the robber,
giving him severe cut above the eye
and knocking him out of the wagon.
The driver whipped up the horse, which
broke away from the man who was hold
ing 1t, and they proceeded on their way
to town.
Constable Mote arrested Edward
Byrne, from near Baltimore, charged with
having robbed Charles Corey. The two
men were employed by Daniel to assist
in threshing his grain. The two men
slept together, Corey having about 81 in
his pocket on retiring. In the morning
the money was gone. There was several
other men who had slept in the building.
A search was instituted, and Byrne seems
to have had the money. A So note was
described by Corey and Byrne had this
money. The man [Byrnel was taken be-
fore Squire Vallandigham, who placed
him under $500 bail for appearance at
court. Byrne being unable to furnish
