Virginia's Dismal s,camp.

Ponder on this marvellous fact, says cor
respondent: The lake Of the Dismal Swamp
in Virginia, three miles by two and a-half
in extent, and from seven to fifteen feet in
depth, is situated on the side and almost on
the top of hill, and vet it creates by over
flow all around it for about 1000 square
miles one Of the densest and darkest mo-
rasses on the surface of the earth.
In 1853 George Washington surveyed the
Dismal Swamp and discovered that the west
ern side was much higher than the eastern,
and that rivers ran out Of the swamp and
not into it, He then wrote that the swamp
was neither plain nor hollow, but a
hillside" A member of the national geo.
logical survey recently entered the Dismal
Swamp, proceeding westward from the Dis
NAL Swamp canal toward the lake, and
found that the rise of the land was five and
half feet in seven miles.
We met this gentleman, Mr. Atkinson,
within the bounds of the swamp, and on
hearing his statement asked him, Gould
the lake be lowered and the swamp drained
with such an ineline?" Certainly" he
said. at is very decided watershed. An
opening from the lake to the tide, on the
the Elizabeth river on one side and the Pas
quotank on the other, would have fall of
% 6-10 feet in q distance of less than fifteen
miles.-ErcIange.

Looming Up.

The Hon. William L. Wilson, the elo-
quent Democratic Representative in Con-
gress from the second district of West Vir-
ginia, is rapidly taking a front rank as a
thinker and speaker. His speech in the
House of Representatives in favor of the
Mills tariff reduction bill was conceded to
be one of the ablest and most effective deliv-
cred on the Democratic side, and has been
adopted as one of the leading campaign doc
uments by the Democratic national exeeu-
tive committee Mr.. Wilson was one of the
speakers at the great Democratic barbecue
at Cheltingham Park, near Chicago, Satur-
day last, and his speech was conceded by the
Chicago papers and correspondents to have
been the oratorical triumph of the day. His
services were again called into requisition in
Chicago Monday evening, when two Demo
cratic meetings were held One was at Bat
tery d and the other at Turner Hall. The
arrangement was that Mr.. Wilson was to
speak first at Battery ID and Congressman
Mills, of Texas, at Turner Hall, and then
they were to change places The five thou
sand people who crowded into Battery d de-
feated this scheme, however, by refusing to
let Mr. Wilson go. Whenever he tried to
stop speaking they insisted so clamorously
upon his continuing that there was nothing
else to do. His speech was entirely upon the
tariff and lasted about two hours and half.
Mr.. Mills also had a great audience, and
spoke with fine effect Mr.. Wilson has been
elected to Congress three times from dis
trict which is pretty evenly balanced politi-
cally, and was recently unanimously nomi-
mated for reelection. He is a member Of the
ways and means committee, and one Of the
most industrious and influential members on
the Democratic side of the House. Several
years ago Speaker Carlisle made speech in
which he paid glowing tribute to Mr.. Will
sons ability and worth, and predicted for
him career of great usefulness to his party
and country-a prediction which is now be-
ing fulflled.-BaHimore Stm.

A little miss of three years, who lives un-
der the shadows of Hope Church, was play
ing with the neighbor's children one morn
ing when the latter were called in for pray
ers. She accompanied them, and, when
seated in the sitting-room, she observed that
she was the only one without book. So
she jumped down and helped herself from
the bookcase in the room, returned to her
chair and opened her book like the others,
and endeavored to read unquestioned. At
ter reading she shut her book and waited
till they had all kneeled, then she assumed
a like position, putting her hand to her face,
but keeping a lookout between the fingers
all the while, to observe what was taking
place. When the others rose from their
knees, she ran over to one 0! the little girls,
and calling her by name, said; 81 like this
