To the Editor Of the Dspefch:
am sure the people living on Main
street above where Laurel iRtersects will
never cease to thank you for the stand
taken in their behalf, ss well a. the city's
against granting permission TO the CITY
Railway Company TO run their "dum-
my engines through their midst.
IL is to be regretted that beth repre-
sentatives from Clay Ward on the Street
Committee are not fighting shoulder 70
shoulder for the peoples interest, both
as 10 property and lives. The repre-
sentative IN favor OF granting the prIvi-
lege shonld have consulted the needs and
wishes Of his people before taking the
stand he has. and not have relied entirely
upon the Judgment OF tho City Engineer,
than whom there is none more Efficient,
and who is ever studying the interests OF
our city and its people, for he may, Ike
the rest of us, be wrong in his Judgment
at times.
Corporations are greedy things, and
do not always consider tho interests OF
our people in their undertakings. Give
them an ell and a mile will seem as no
thing in their sight, and, as you have
truthfully said, there would be no reason
why this company should not run their
dummies from Lombardy street to
Fulton, if the privilege now asked tor IS
granted. ,,
Continue the good fight. Mr.. Editor,
and the people will DO under many obi
cations to Won. Rex"

years of age, and was educated at the
Universities of Copenhagen and Heiaei-

that she has nothing but fixed air and
froth in her head. and no strength Of
any kind anywhere except what lies in
mnle.like pertinacity to her own petty
purposes that mocks at reason, and will
none of argument. Tho most unman-
ageable force in nature is fool, And,
as taper loses nothing OF brightness in
ieniting dozen other tapers, the foolish
wife and mother, in multiplying her
folly through her progeny, grows rather
than diminishes in asininity in entering
upon what would be, with sensible ma
irons, maturity.
CAN'T MAKE A FOOL WISE.
For-and here lies the sorest rub in
this great wrong, so constantly and nm
consciously done before our eyes-zero
can develop into nothing but zero, were
our pretty icather-hesd's age to ontrun
Mcthuselah's. Small minds soon attain
their growth. He who looks forward
fondly to permeatiug the intellect of his
pink.and-white simpleton with his own
brains. to forming her tastes and FASH
ioning her speech, lorgets that porcelain
already painted. fred, and glazed, is not
malleabie. He might do all that he
plans and more with crude ore, but he
must make sure OF his material before
venturing upon the metamorphosis.
TIE MOTHERS DUTY.
Mothers are reprehensible in that they
are prone to leave too much OF mould
ing and developing TO the young hus-
band. The training that has as its end
our girls happiness and usefulness in
her fathers house is very well in its way.
but usually the way is solemnly short
Excellent, also, as far as it goes, is the
principle that good daughter must of
necessity be good wife. Not that this
does not go far enough to be r stable
landmark. The purblind lover is idiotic
as well if the tart rejoindcr to maternal
sdmonition, the selfish disregard of a
mothers health. comfort and peace OF
mind, on the part Of her child, whom he
would make his wife, do not shock him
to his senses.

for the comparatively brief interregnum

The ladies Of the Confederate Memo
rial Association OF Ashland, Va, take
this means to express their sincere graft
tude to their numerous friends who have
so generously responded TO their {" Card
for assistance in aid OF their cause, and
for their very prompt and liberal gifts.
So many have contributed that it would
be impossible 10 mention separately
each kind donor. Their hearts are full
of gratitude, and hope their friends
will accept this little notice individu-
ally as an expression of their thanks.
They have especially, however, to
thank Mr.. John Teller and his good
lady for the privilege of the Brinton
House and their very marked kindness in
assisting them in many WAYS. 1t will be
a very pleasing and gratifying thought
to all to know that the fair has been a
complete success and that their object
will be sure OF accomplishment.
