ciety and the betterment OF the laboring
people.
Her life has been one OF sadness and
of unusual intensity.
She was born at the Chateau Ge
Vroncourt. Her early life was passed
in plenty, and she was the pet OF
household circle who admired her pre-
cocity and the originality Of her views.
Upon the death of her protcctress and
the advent of new owners to the home
in which she had lived in comfort and
honor her mother and she were sent
out into the cold world. Under these
circumstances she opened a school in
the village Of AudelencOurt. but did not
succeed, ard an experiment of the same
character made in Paris was also fail
ure. She then found more congenial
associations than those of the school
room in the political clubs which were
springing up in the French capital, and
she became a leader in the diffusion of
ideas which. in the course Of time, took
the form in her mind Of new social
system. During the struggle made by
the Commune she fought under the red
flag, was made prisoner and exlled TO
New Caledonia. The noble generosity
of the woman appeared in many ways
while on her way to that far-Of land
and a resident there. Her bestowing
her stockings and shoes upon wretch
more in need of them than she while on
the way out is remembered as one of
her numerous acts OF self. denial. pom
her pardon and return to her native
country she resumed her old occupation
as a political agitatOr, and came the
second time under legal constraint, be-
ing sentenced to long term Of impri-
sonment. By the clemency of the
President of the French republic she was
liberated before the expiration of her
sentence.
Louise Michel is described as quiet,
kind-looking, middle-aged woman,
homely in her general appearance.
Her brow is intellectual, her mouth
too large for beauty, her hair brown IN
color and cut short, her eyes gray and
full of expression. She dresses
stability in black. One OF her admit
rers says that after brief conversation
with her the plainness of her features
is lost sight of in the charm of her
manner and Of her mind. Her deliye-
~ as a public speaker is quiet and
subdued she utters terrible things in
a manner amiable and winning. Her
political views are summarized in her
own words-thus: " Tear down the
whole social edifice and begin over
again."

certain lawyer whom we shall call Mr..
Hardie. Mr.. IIardie Ised his power

the bill. Taking him to his private

that you have put down everything
which he owes YOU" "Quite sure,
my lord" The earl then locked the
door. placed on the table a brace OF
loaded pistols. opened a drawer, and
handed to the lawyer the full tale OF
guineas. Now, Mr.. Hardie,' he
added, you'd better have little re-

There was nothing for lIardie but to

get was liberty to use his pen-kniie to

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
in stating my opinion few days

women, as rule, take such narrow
views and now that our Commonwealth

single step taken to rctard her progress,
which prohibition will certainly do.
Besides, thought it was known fact
that daily bearing the stamp and repu-
tation of the Dispatch would only pub
lish articles from worthy sources.
But since feel convinced prohibition
will be Of little consequence to those
who possess the means to replenish their
cellars, why not, to use my fair asSail-
ants expression, "prefer to face an
open, avowed foe to a hidden enemy ~:
Why necessitate strategy to procure a
drink? Why not let man openly take
a drink instead ofsneaking into a club
room and holding so many coupons for
drinks? Missionaries could tackle more
readily gambling and other vices were
they done as openly as the sale Of
liquor, and not confined to dark alleys

who employ their time in advocating
prohibition could write from experience,
as do, where wine is freely used at
home, and perhaps they would be as
temperate and happy as God has deS-
tined me to be. f.

The coupon-holders, intrenched behind

The Electoral Board for Petersburg
has just been reorganized. Messrs. E.

having been appointed to State offices
in educational institutions, resigned
their membership on the Electoral
Board. The vacancies were filled, and
the Board is now composed of the fol-
lowing gentlemen, all well.known citi-
zens and staunch Democrats Charles
A. Jackson, George W. Eanes, and
Myer Saal. They will soon appoint
the judges and commissioners and
clerks for the May election.
Major Harrison Waite has resigned
the position Of chairman of the Repub-
lican City Executive Committee, and
Mr.. Frank R. Russell has been elected
to fill the vacancy. The political sit
uation is daily becoming more lively,
and candidates for the Republican nomi-
nations are as busy as bees in summer
electioneering.
In response to the request Of
the operatives the directors OF
the several cotton-mills in this
city have promptly agreed to pay
of the employees every two weeks in
stead of once q month, as heretofore.

The Tidcwdter Mder says truly
that we advise our readers to patronize
their county papers. We have foryear
done so, and never done otherwise. The
editor of the Dispatch published a
county paper for years, and knows from
experience all the annoyances and
pleasures (the latter predominant of a
country editor life. We are decidedly
of the opinion that no other one thing
adds so much to the reputation ola county
as a good home paper. We are per-
suaded, too, that in those counties
which possess the best local papers the
Daily, Semi Weekly, and Weekly issues
of the Dispsteh will have their largest
circulation, whilst under the operation
of the same law Of nature or society
the local papers will have their largest
circulation in those counties in which
the Dispatch circulates most largely.
There is no rivalry or conflict Of inter-
ests between the city papers and the
county papers.
