Inexonsahle Ignorance.

The Lynchburg Adrance allows "its
able correspondent" "Pedagogue," to
deceive it and its readers in regard to
the appropriations proposed to be made
by the BLAIR bill. OF course men who
know no more about the Blair bill than
Pedagogue" does may be expected to
oppose it. And the Advance naively
confesses that "Pedagogue's" Startling
facts and figures" "opened its eyes" |!
Well, mark how plain tale shall expose
Pedagogue's" ignorance; for we will
not charge him with intentional misrep-
resentation of the facts of the case.
Pedagogue" says that in the distri-
button of the s79.OOO,OOO all of the
northern and western States get the
lions share--that is, they are 10 get NIT
lions of the funds, where the poor
States of the South are only to get
thousands. Here are his figures;
ILLINOIS is to get S7,5OO,OO0; Arkan-
sas, only SOS, 900; Iowa, Si,00O,0JO;
North Carolina, 1888, 600; Massachusetts,,
$1,000, 900; Louisiana, 1856, 900; Penn
sylvauia, 100000; South Carolina,
1851. 900; Ohio, nearly SS,OO0,000;
Mississippi, 100000; California,
$4,000, COO; Tennessee, SIS6, 900 Miehi-
gan, s., 200, 900: Texas, $751;, 900; Ne
braska, nearly s2,000,000; Alabama,
1890. 900 New York, nearly $40, 000, 600 !;
Virginia, with her 500. S07 children, 49,
$50 Of whom are unable TO write, would
get $3.50, 900; and 80 on; the northern
States getting millions as the southern
would thousands and yet it is the price
OF our seryitude
In the Congressional Record of ian
nary q, 1888, the Adcoace will find
upon page 772 the official figures-Mr.
BLAR's own. From these figures, it
appears that Illinois is TO get 81, S0l,-
6i6.46; Arkansas, s2,5O5, 1907 Iowa,
s577,532.si; North Carolina, S5,749,-
121.37 Virginia, 1892, 1925. We
need not go farther in contradicting
"Pedagogue's" ignorant misrepresenta-
tons The reader will see that he makes
Illinois &c. four times as much rs the
blll gives her, and Arkansas only one
tenth Of what the bill gives her, and so
on to the end of the chapter. We can't
waste the time which it would require to
correct all "Pedagoguesv blunderg
And then for 80 good Democrat as
Glass TO allow the southern Democratic
senators 10 be represented as such fools
or knaves as to vote for such bill as
"Pedsgogue represents the BLAIR bill

the southern Democratic United States

Especial telegram 70 the Dispatch.l
REIDsvILLE, n. c., March 5.-Burglars
visited our place Saturday night and
broke into the stores Of j. w. Peay q
Co., hardware merchants, and Z. ii.
Williamson, general merchandise dealer.
They gained entrance at both places by
forcing the rear doors with chisels, etc.
Peay n Co. were relieved OF every pistol
in stock, also a quantity of cutlery, and
the cash-drawer was rihed, but fortunate
" only contained small amount OF sill
yer coin. Williamson's loss consists
principally of hats, shoes, and silk hand
kerchiefs. The burglars would not touch
meats and groceries, evidently meaning
to peddle the goods which they carried
off in a grass-seed sack. The police are
at work, but as yet have gained no clue
as to the perpetrators.
The Comfy Commissioners to-day
called an election to be held April 10th
to determine whether or not Reidsville
shall be bonded $75, 900 for internal i'm
provements.
A daring crime was committed at
Berry, n. g., five miles from this place,
Saturday night. The dwelling and seve-
raj out-houses adjacent of G. w. Mobley,
q prominent farmer, were fired by an In
cendiary with disastrous results. The
family awoke in time to save their dwell
ing, but the gransry and stables, con-
tanning their entire crop of wheat and
corr, three mules, two threshing-ma-
chimes, a carriage, and two wagons,
were burned. The loss is estimated at
81, 900, with no insurance, and is quite a
blow to MIR. Mobley. The identity of
the man who committed the deed IS
known it is thought, and he will no
doubt be caught.
Mr.. William Carter, OF Madison, one
OF Rockingham's Oldest and staunchest
citizens, died suddenly at his home
Saturday.

Especial telegram to the Dispatch.l
CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 5.-Joe
Clendenin, Harry Barnes, and two men
whose names are unknown engaged IN
row aboard of the Chesapeake and Ohio
train No. yesterday between Point
Creek and Coalburg. Clendenin was
seriously wounded the hip by pistol
shot intended for one of the other pas
sengers. The train was stopped and all
four men elected near Coalburg.
A Kanawha and Ohio car lying at

The Hon. G.. G. SYNEs, of Colorado,
is Republican, but he is evidently q
man of marked ability. Asw said some
time ago concerning NJ. ALLEN, of Mas
sachusetts, we say now of Mr.. SYNHs-
that he ought not to be Republican.
His speech in the United States House OF
Representatives last Saturday on the
military and postal-telegraph bin fur
nishes proof that he is rising man. Mr..
WHITE, of New York, seems also to be a
man of decided talent. Be sure wisdom
will not die with the present generation.

II came again tonight that same sad feeling
That long ago thought had passed away
That ono old wound which still resists oil heal
ing.
That pain not even time can quite allay.
The msts close in. but family through them
catch an echo that will never die;
For, all the memories OF the past unsealing.
Come those two fearful words OF hers,
''Good-bye!"
A touch of hands, few hasty words, in part.

A host OF recollections now upstartfng
Brings the whole scene again before my

''Good-bye!" The low. sweet voice that
spake it faliercd:
The eyes were dim that shone SO bright and
shy.
The memory of those words has never alter
Those two sad whispered words of hers,
"Good-byef'
What might have been! God only knows; we
Can draw the curtains from the dim un-

And yet, and YET, before me rises ever

Have fallen on my heart and brought IL sad

The music in my soul can never brghten:
The minor chords are all that sound to-day;
And mcurnful strains, which nothing seems
to tighten.
The harmony is incomplete; her fingers
Could touch the chords and swell the music

Now. in the notes painful dlscord fingers,
The string WAS broken by those words,

RICH WOMEN'S PIN MONEY.
The Allowances Arsdo by Millionaires to
Their Daughters.

II have only an allowance of $40 n
week for pocket money" said tie
daughter of millionaire in con-
iidential moment the other day.
Papa has such an idea of money you
know, and he thinks | am wildly ex-
travagant to spend that small amount
on candies, flowers, novels and theatre
tickets. Mamma orders all my cloth
ing, you know, and so, of course | do
not have to buy anything that really
need. a..
To many q young girl $40 week
would seem sufficient for pocket
money, and indeed. how many hun
dreds of pretty and clever young girls
are there who can not earn more than
that amount even by working hard
each day of the weekp But the average
fashionable society girl has so many
demands upon her purse that so does
not go far.
1t is said that Jay Gould very gener-
ously allows his pretty daughter s25,
and with this she not only supplies her
own little wants. but gives TO most of
her small charities.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and Elliott L.
Sheppard allow each of their six child
ren certain amount of pocket money
each month, and they are all required
to keep cash accounts and present
them to their papas the 1st of each
month. The amounts are not large,
and are given more to make the little
millionaires understand the value of
money than aught else.
Willie X. Vanderbilt's three children
are allowed plenty of pocket money,
but are fined heavily for all mis-
demeanors. They dine in pretty
little room adjacent to the great din
ing-saloon, and il tiny drop of any
, coffee, milk or wine is spilled on the
snowy cloth the offender is fined 20
cents for each offense. A glass OF
water knocked over or dish let fall
on the floor brings fine of so cents to
the culprit, and all the fines 60 to the
foreign and home missions.
What do do with my 500 n week ?'
asked IN only daughter of Fifth
avenue millionaire, when asked the
question. We'll, not always the same
thing. Last week spent every cent
of it on lovely new parasol, to carry
at coaching parade, and then after
all my trouble it poured rain. gener-
ally purchase my tiowers-you know

after exchanging the usual salutations.

along the lines.
All! no grander army ever faced u

The young officer who bore the or

the crest, almost in front. his battle
flag came down on us. and simultan-
eously with the first great shock of the
enemy's battery from the fort beyond
the ravine and the discharge of musket-
ry from the intrenchment on the brow
of the hill, Sheridan's voice was heard
calling out: Garry everything before
you. boys!'
With one unearthly, demoniac yell
the grand old division swept on like an
Alpine avalanche; down the side of the
ravine. up under the guns of the forti-
fled battery, up and on rolled the lines
through the rifle pits over the intrench-
ments. The earth trembled with the
enemy's guns, double shotted. their
musketry rent the air with the fearful
storm of leaden hail.
But the fire of hell could not have
stopped the men who wore the "clover
leaf and Sheridan there. Yes, on
and on the lines swept until the flag
tloated from all their works in our
front, and the rebel line bent back on
the James for Sheridan was thar. ~
