ARRESTED CHARGED WITH TAMPERIHG
WITH THE MAILs.-F A. Hyde. an attorney
residing at Warm Springs, Bath county, was
arrested and tried before U. S. Commissioner,
Thomas A. Gordon in this city on tn 9 9th ms t..
The offence appears to be as follows: Ro. T.
Payne is the Postmaster, who says he had
missed from the Office at different times same
months ago as much as $40. He called in a
government inspector, 6. W. Wilde who on
the 18th of last November. as appears by the
warrant detected Hyde purloining rs cents.
The commissioner sent him on for indictment,
admitting him to bail with his brother, Ghas.
L. HYDE of Mitlboro' as security.
Messrs. George NJ. Cochran, Jr., and William
E Craig appeared for Hyde.
PREPARATION FOR THE FAIR.-The Board
of Directors of the Baldwin District Fair held a
session on the Sth instant to revise the premi-
| UNI schedules and make other arrangements
| for the Fair Exhibition.
The privileges granted at the last Fair were
abused by parties obtaining them, by introduc-
| ing games and gambling that the Board did
not think for a moment ofauthorising. Extra
precaution will be taken this year, and every
application the least suspicious in that direc.
| ton will be positively refused.
| AS has been the custom for several years
past, there will be no liquor privileges granted

Cannertes In Rockbridce.


| It has been announced through the Lexing-
| ton papers that five canning establishments
| will go into operation in that county this year
as follows:-
East Lexington, Green Forest, Alone Mills,
Natural Bridge, and Buena Vista. Arrange
ments have been made to secure tomatoes in
desired quantities, and all the canneries are
located convenient to supplies of fruits and
berries. Four of them are on two lines of rail-
road transportation and the Alone Mills es-
Establishment is only five miles distant from
East Lexington. OF the wild fruits, and the
cultured, too, for that matter, the huckleberry
is not excelled in many respects The straw
| berry and raspberry are entitled to superiority,
but their seasons are shorter and then not SO
easy to be obtained as the huckleberry where
1t exists. The canneries at Buena Vista and
Green Forest will have full sweep at the
never falling crop of the South Mountain,
where they grow over more extended tract
of noun tain range than anywhere in Vir-
ginia. Maintaining the standard of the
huckleberry are many advocates. Among
them, few generations past. was an eminent
Virginia statesman who declared it the
best of all berries. When turned into the
channels of commerce as a part of the choice
food-supplies. they will take high rank as
such, and the rough mountain sides of small
value and oflight importance in the business
Of the country may yet, through the canneries
located along their base, yield a revenue of no
small importance, and contribute largely to
the income of many who will esteem it a
privilege to engage in gathering them, be-
cause of the new Importance attached to their
value.

White Natives of Africa.

Most people who have read Rider
Haggard's tale of the great white race
in Africa consider it the purest fiction,
but such IS not the case. South of
TlmbuctOo and north of Kong noun
tains. in the western part of Africa,
live the Foolahs, the white tribe of the
Dark Continent. This tribe has good
features, a skull modelled like that of
white man, and complexion about as
dark as that OF the Italians. They
were great slave traders in the old days,
but they made a speciality of the finest
grades of captives, and but few of their
own number were ever transported.
1t is said that slipload of them was
once landed on the coast of louisiana,
and that the Creoles, refusing 10 be-
lieye them darkies, set them free and
hung the slaves.
These Foolahs settled down in the
marshes of Southern Louisiana, and
after while became civilized, and in
that part of the state to-day you will
| find tall, dark, rather good looking
white men who have all the Incidence
Of the black African, who are some
times as fierce as the Arab, and always
hOspitable and musical. These people
are the descendants of the Foolahs,
and their Mayfower was a slaver.
There are strange people in this great
country of ours.

New England Hospitality.

/ shall never again say that Massa-
chusetts people are not hospitable.
Not long ago l was driving along a
country road, just outside of Boston,
and chaneed to stop at farm house to
inquire my way. An old woman came
to the door, and, having given me the
information 1 desired, politely asked
me in, to have, SO she expressed it, "a
drink and a rock" By a drink" i
rather supposed she meant a glass of
milk. The ''rock" was a luxury the
nature OF which was beyond imagin-
ing. Satisfied, however, that it was
something inviting, L accepted the
offer with thanks, and. having tied my
horse, went inside. My hostess there
upon requested me to be seated in her
best rocking chair and poured me out a
glass of water. "Nov," she said
"you can have drink and a rock. and
rest youfself as long as you liker' Ger
tainly this is the most inexpensive form
of entertainment have ever heard of.

4 leading New L ork city physician
distinguishes himself from his fellow
mertals by inveighing against carpets.
He denounces them as ugly in appear
ance, and, worst of all, as unclean and
unhealthful. He says: 1.-The carpet
holds the poison of all diseases, such as
scarlet fever, diphtheria and the like,
long after the rest of the room is disin-
fected. always remove the rug, even
from a sick room, where L can find a
rug to remove. The carpet retains
dust and dirt, and the most careful
housewife cannot keep it clean. 1t is
impossible. Now, the rug may be
taken up and thoroughly swept on both
sides whenever the hous5keeper wants
to do SO. Then there is nothing IN the
way Of house furnishing so hand
some as painted and highly polished

It with dinner plate and bake slowly

HOUSEHOLD.

THE Juices of various acid fruits
mixed with sugar and water make
during the warm months most delicious
and wholesome beverages. They have
also the power of quenching thirst and
conveying a small amount of nourish-
ment to the blood. Ice or very cold
water, if taken too freely, is apt to dig
order the system, while these fruit
drinks will agree with most persons
perfectly well. Nothing IN the way of
a summer beverage can be more health
full and strengthening than bnttermilk.
1t stimulates a weak and delicate stom-
ach, and aids rather than retards dlges-
tion. If persons knew the value OF
buttermilk 1 am sure It would be used
freely by every one. 1t will in some
cases cure indigestion. 1t Quiets the
nerves and helps those to sleep who are
troubled with insomnia One of the
most peculiar features of buttermilk Is
that its friends never tire of singing its
praises and its enemies never weary of
wondering how persons can like it.
Buttermilk cannot, however, be over
rated, and it should be used freely by
all who can procure it.

The discovery of new gas Is a rare
and important event to chemists. Such
a discovery has been announced in Ger
many by DR.. Theodore Curtius, who
has succeeded in preparing the long
sought hydride of nitrogen amidogen,
diamide or hydrazine, as it is variously
called This remarkable body, which
has hitherto baffied all attempts at iso-
lation, is now shown to be a gas, per-
fectly stable up to a very high tempera-
ture; of a peculiar odor different from
that of ammonia, exceedingly soluble
in water and of basic properties. In
composition it is nearly identical with
ammonia, both being composed of nit
rogen and hydrogen. =

Mr.. T. p. White In a communica-
ton to the Chemical Society, gives a
decidedly negative answer to the ques-
ton whether the acids of canned fruits
may not form poisonous salts with the
lin. He reports, as the result of his
experiments, that "tin is entirely de-
void OF danger when taken internally In
any form that might arise from being in
contact with fruit or vegetables. {"
He believes that the cases of accidental
poisoning attributed TO tin were due to
solder or other mpurities-arsenic,
copper or lead. Professor w. Mattieu
Williams says that there need be no
.sad in the solder-that IL is only put IN
ior cheapness sake and that tin makes
superior solder to any alloy. There
fore, all danger may be obviated by
prohibiting the use of any other solder
than pure tin.
