Rev. SYLYANUs COBB thus writes in the
Boston Christian Freeman: We would by no
means recommend any kind OF medicine
which we did not know to be gOod-particu-
larry for infants. But OF Mrs. Winslows $
Soothing Syrup we can speak from know
ledge. In our own family It has proved
blessing indeed, by giving an infant trou-
bled with colic-pams quiet sleep and the
parents uobrokan rest at night. Most pa
rents can appreciate these blessings. Here
is an article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless: for the sleep which 10
affords the infant Is perfectly natural, and
the little cherub awakes as bright as but

its value is incalcu'able. We have frequent

other public reception tonight from

fore, these receptions are entirely in
formal. No particular dress or costume
is prescribed, and persons can stay as

While they will be presented to the

Burned 10 Death.

At sixteen minutes past 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning an alarm Of fire was
turned in from Box IA, at the corner OF
Tenth and Byrd streets. Engines 3
and 4, Hook.and-Ladder Truck ., and
Hose-Company No. promptly re-
sponded, but their services were not
needed. 1t seems that Sallie Nicholas
(colored), who lives at No. 207 south
Tenth street, left home to carry her
husbands breakfast, leaving her daugh-
ter Ella, a hall-witted creature, aged
about eighteen years, in charge Of the
house. A few minutes past s O'Clock
smoke was seen issuing from the win-
dows Of the house, and the alarm was
turned in. Neighbors entered the house
and found the girl with her clothing
burning and the bed on fire. They put
out the flames and rendered every atten-
tion possible to the girl, who was hor-
ribly burned about the body. Their
efforts were, however, useless, and at
10 o'clock she died. 1t is supposed
that her dress caught fire, and that she
attempted to extinguish the flames by
wrapping herself in the bed-clothing.

DANvILLE, VA, February IT,
Mr.. E. G. Mosley had a valuable
horse stolen from his stable last night.
The horse came home this afternoon,
bringing a mule with him; the animal
had been ridden very hard.
Two farmers from Campbell county
are here to-day with tobacco for the
first time in twenty-five years.
The Council adopted bill some time
ago, to be submitted to the Legislature,
giving that party power to purchase,
build, or repair the bridge across the
Dan river. There is strong opposition
to buying the Union-Street bridge, and
a petition was circulated to-day to
strike out the word purchase in the
proposed bill.
Mr.. Schoolfeld telegraphed from
Richmond to-day that he would revise
the charter of the Danville and North
western railroad so as to strike out the
cause which by implication forced Dan
Vile to subscribe an amount greater
than the charter limit. This has made
many friends to the charter aud the
proposed subscription to the road.

Ex-Judce J.rbosnpsOB Browns speech
Yesterday Nominating John %. HOrs.
ley. isq.. ns Judge Of the Fiftb Judi-
cial Circuit.
If asked to define as briefly as may
be the qualities and qualifications not
only desirable but essential to abound
in the man called upon to fill the digni-
fed, the honorable, and high office Of
circuit judge in Virginia, would say
these three-honesty, intelligence, cour-
age. Honesty in that primitive sense
which was wont to include all else but
intelligence; intelligence such as comes
and comes only of mind strong by
nature, cultured by the study, and
trained in the practice Of the law and
such courage as will ever and alone be
found to be the companion Of virtue and
the inspirer of devotion to dtyand the
right.
Happily for the circuit TO which am
speaking this definition of what is need.
ed is but the portrait Of what We have
in the distinguished person Of the Hon.
6. A. WingGeld, of Bedford county,
who for more than fifteen years has
filed this Office so honorably, so ably,
and so well. But now that his full
years-so full Of honors to himself and
noble usefulness TO his fello S-man---
have secured TO him the right to prefer
to retire at the expiration of his term,
that he may spend the evening Of life in
that generous quietude that must be
assured tosuch a life Of duty performed -
now, | say, this Legislature is called
upon to elect his successor.
And upon me, Mr.. Speaker, is de-
vOlyed the pleasing duty, the high priyi-
lege, the honor, let me say, to present
to this honorable body John d. Hors-
ley, Esq, Of the county of Nelson.
Mr.. Horsley, though comparatively
young man, having just crossed
the meridian Of his years, is yet in the
enjoy ment Of such a reputation for pro.
fessional accuracy, ability, and learning,
such high integrity of character, such
industry and energy, wisdom, fairness,
and courage, that any extended
eulogy of him before this honor
able body is deemed to be unnecessary
man who, notwithstanding his
youth. has attained such rank at the
bars at which he practices that when il
was announced that the present distin-
gushed and honorable incumbent did
not desire a reelection, and as soon as
Mr.. Horsley was suggested as his suit
able and worthy successor, the sugges-
tion was received with singular and
most ilatteriDg unanimity by the
several bars throughout the cir
cult. And what eulogy, let me
ask, could be higher than this
In fine, Mr.. Speaker, man whom |
have had the privilege to know long,
intimately, and we'll, and with whom
for almost the whole of his professional
life l have had the honor to be asso-
ciated in the practice of the law, and
hence, | am sure, you will indulge me
to say, and believe me when | say. no
other man exists better qualified than
he for this honorable and high office.

A BIy the and Bonny Fortune.

A New Haven Conn., special says ;
Many years ago an English family
named Blythe moved to Moodus from
Pawtucket, r. l., and found employ
ment in the cloth-mills. The family con-
sisted OF the father, mother, four sons,
and 1.-TWO daughters, the eldest being Thos.
ii. Blythe. When gold was discovered
in California by Captain Sutter Thomas
ii. Blythe caught the infection aud he
went away to make dollars where he
had hitherto been making cents. He
went away in the night with just few
personal effects. His parents mourned
his departure and waited anxiously to
hear some tidings from their son, but
none ever came, and the old people died
after q few years still mourning him.
His brothers and sisters were very
young and soon forgot that they had a
brother.
Thomas went to st. Louis and joined
bis fortunes with party Of gold-seek-
ers who were about to cross the plains.
He arrived in San Francisco in lS49,
end had q wonderful run Of luck.
Everything he touched turned to gold,
and when he died, in 1888, he left an
estate valued at over $4,000, 900. No
one in California seemed to know where
he came from, or whether he had
any relatives or friends. The execu-

A Mothers Awful Crime.

KEYPoRT, N. j., April 23.-Seven miles
south of this place lives j. Monroe Smith.
Mr.. Smith is fifty-five years old, and his
wife forty-three and the mother of six chill
dren ranging in age from nineteen years
down to four. Some years ago the wife
and mother was sent to an insane asylum
and was discharged year later, presum-
ably cured Last fall she had severe pains
in her head and her husband sent her to her
brothers house in Elizabeth, where she
improved greatly and returned home
short time ago. This morning, after
breakfast, she went to one of the outbuild-
ings on the premises, and after swallowing
a dose of ''Rough on Rats" returned to the
house with an axe concealed under her
dress. Eva, her four-year-old daughter,
was still sleeping when the mother entered
the bedchamber. Lifting the axe above
the sleeping child, the maniac mother
brought it swiftly down, splitting the little
ones head open, killing her instantly. She
then attacked Rufus, aged thirteen,
dealing him several savage blows on the
head with the poll of the axe. Bessie, the
1l-year-old daughter, begged for mercy,
but the terrible bloodstained axe whirled
in the air and went crashing into the
fragile little head. The 1S-year-old daugh-
ter locked the baby in an adjoining room
and ran screaming outside to apprise her
father of the awful work within. After a
terrible struggle, the woman was secured,

How the General Master Workman Started
an Engine that Wouldn't Go.

How the General Master Workman Started
an Engine that Wouldn't Go.
ST. LOUIS, April 23-Some weeks ago an
engine attached to passenger train on the
Michigan Central Road suddenly stopped.
The place was between stations, and the
engineer could neither start the engine
along nor discover what the matter was.
The passengers, many of them, got off the
train and stood watching the engineers
futile efforts to find out what the cause of
the trouble was. He saw at length that he
would have to give it up, and that the train
would stand there until new engine could
be brought. Then a quiet man who had
been standing among the passengers
stepped up to the engineer and said: Take
off your overalls and let me put them on"
He was a man of intellectual cast of fea-
lures and pair of eye glasses added force
to this impressiveness The engineer took
off his overalls and the quiet man put
them on, and with monkey wrench in his
hands, crawled under the engine, and fiat
on his back, hammered and tinkered for
a quarter of an hour Then be mounted
the cab, opened the throttle valve, and
off went the engine as easy as could be.
Some of the passengers thanked the
quiet man as the engineer mounted the
board, and the engineer himself asked
his name, but the quiet man would not
give it. Nevertheless a man on the train
knew this bookish-looking mechanic, and
'"The man who fixed your engine was Cen
eral Master Workman Powderly, OF the
knights of Labor" This happened when
Mr.. Powderly was on his way back from
his trip to the West to examine into the
troubles which led to the strike.
