VERY DIscoURAGING Work.
Il is very discouraging work for en-
emies Of the President to get up
damaging stories about him in the
face of the evident devotion OF Mrs.
Cleveland. All tho world loves a
devoted and affectionate wife, as
we'll as q lover, and the esteem and
chivaIrous admiration which Mrs.
Clevsland's letter to Mrs. Nichode-
mus, Of Worcester. will surely call
out will react favorably upon her
husband. And so the Pendleton
story will do the President good in
stead Of harm. Very often it takes
the truth a long time to catch M
with a scandal, but when it has
caught it before it has got fairly
under way, and got very much the
better of it, the story is apt to be as
completely done for as if it had
never been born People at Wash
inpton give Mrs. Cleveland credit
for being very able woman as we'll
Is i very devoted and prudent one,

What was stated but to what may

Alone in London

This pathetic and tragic play will be
given in the Opera House On tie % h and
10Th inst. From the notices We have seen
of it, it will be worthy of full house on
both nights of its appearance. The Colum-
bus Daily Times Of Jan. 9th, says of il:
Alone in London" the latest comedy
drama of Robert BUCHANAN. the celebrated
nos elist and essayist, was produced before
a Columbus audience last night that was
as large as it was enthusiastic The story
deals with the TRIALS of al unSophsticated
country girl, who falls victim to the
wiles of d handsome but villainous man.
Mr.. Buchanan S play is a marvel of con.
Struction and scenic effect. The rising of
the waters in the old sluice house being
conceded by all who saw 1t to be the acme
of mechanical effect. People rise from
their seats and hold their breaths fearing
every instant the heroine would be lost
completely to sight. but her good genius
in the shape of good hearted country
man. comes to her rescue. earning round
after round for his devotion and heroism
The company is excellent in every respect
including, as it does. seven who have been
leading people or heading their own organ
iZation. The company can be summed up
as being the best melodramatic organiZa-
ton yet seen in Columbus. All who wish
to see great play beautifully set and
magniicently played, should see it. either
at the matinee to day or the performance
to night

No Gambling at the Fair,

The management of the District Fair,
which commences on the 25th, have deter
mined to allow no gambling devices or
liquor saloons on the premises. Granting
these privileges heretofore has been the
source of considerable revenue. But in
Difference to public sentiment and IN appre
citation of the propriety of the exclusion,
it has been determined to depend upon the
liberal entries and attendance of the PEG
pie to make up this deficiency. 1t is
hoped that the expectation Of the manage
ment will be fully met, and that our farm
ers and citizens generally will arrange
their work and business to give their pres
ence to the exhibition throughout the days
it will be open. The authorities ought to
be encouraged in their new and praise
worthy departure and we believe they will

SfaUltfOn Artillery.

The Staunton Artillery was inspected
during the late visit Of Col. Joe Lane
Stern to our city, passed a satisfactory
muster. and received the quota of funds
and equipments from the State. During
the late visit of this company to the mill
tary encamp.nent at Harper's Ferry, they
took part in a target practice, and showed
remarkable skill in handling their guns.
The firing was at tree for target, at
distance of of mile. Nine rounds were
fired. Eight shells went through the tree
and the ninth one cut the tree down and
ffried itself ) feet in the ground. Capt.
Shewey sighted the gun several times and
aimed the one that cut the tree down.
The firing was at an elevation of $50 feet,
the tree fired at being On Bolivar Heights.
This is pretty good record for our boys.

Speaking at Harrisonburg.

We learn from gentleman who was
present in Halrisonburg last Monday,
County Court day, that there was an inter
esting proceeding there in the political
circles. Hon. G. T. O'Ferrall, the Demo-
cratic member of Congress from the It'll
District, whose home is ineHarrisonbuIg g.
Was an Iounced to address the public. The
Republicans thought it was good time to
nave little fun, so they secured the ser
vices, by some means or other, of Judge
ferklns. member of Congress from
Kansas. Mr.. Perkins reached there On
Monday morning. AS O'Ferrall seemed
to be anxious to measure lances with some
BODY, arrangem ents We're male for a joint
discussion. 1t came off, and from what
our informant tells us there was never a
statesman who received as complete {.
drubbing as Perkins gave O'Ferrall. 1t
was merciless. The Court House was
rammed and damned with people, who
cheered and shouted for the Kansas Con.
Democratic SANDERS and pretenses and
arralgned o. Ferrall before his own con-
stltut ncy. When time was called on Per-
klnS the audience shouted Ego on, go on, -
and would not allow him to stop, promis
Ing that C'Ferrall could have all the time
he wanted. After he had taken his seat,
amidst the intensest applause, O'Ferrall
took the stand, but there was no rebound
in him. He felt the effect of the rout he
had sustained, and could get very little re-
spouse from the people, large proper
tion of whom left the Court House, when
Perkins closed.
1t was red letter day for the Repub-
leans, and evidenced that old Rocking.
ham will come up manfully to the line
IN November next, for the Republican
cause and its representatives.
