ANOYHEB SCEN II.
When the end of the Confederacy came,
Judge Sheffey was still the Speaker Of the
Virginia House of Delegates. He showed
nerve and GOODNESS on the Sunday, April
Sd, which was the last day of the Confeder-
acy as well as the last day of the old Viz
ginia. He presided at the memorable Sab.
bath session, and that night at 10 O'Clock,
raped the House to quiet with the gavel
and declared the body adjourned sine die. He
then turned and presented the gavel to Mr..
Robert w. Burke, Doorkeeper of the House,
now Vice President of the National Valley
Bank of Staunton, who has kept it as
mement0 of those stirring times.
AFTER THE WAR.

into the minutest detail of his case, whether
the case itself be great OF small. They had
had hard fights together sometimes one
victorious, sometimes the other, and he
always found him as generous as the victor
as he was magnanimous as the vanquished.
The last time they were pitted against each
other was a year ago at Lexington, when
Judge Shelley, exhausted in the discharge
of his duty, fell in the courtroom. The
court adjourned, and Judge Sheffey came
back into court the next day and developed
an ability that he had never excelled in his
career, and won his case. The browning
honor. of Judge S. S life was his long, sincere,
and devoted attachment to the Church Of
his Saviour, and it will be well for us all,
when our time shall come, if our end may
be like his.
COL. EDMUND PENDLETON.
Col. Edmund Pendleton of Lexington,
said the bar of Rockbridge knew Judge
Sheffey almost as well as did the bar of
Staunton, and had sent himself and Mr..
Tucker here to express it's cordial sympathy
with every good word said of him. He had
known Judge Sheffey for twenty years and
had before he knew him well, looked at him
in the light of an unfavorable criticism,
which he found to some extent prevalent.
1t gave him great pleasure, after twenty
years knowledge of him, to say that he had
never found any of this unfavorable criti-
cism realized in his professional or personal
life, and he had never known in him the
slightest swerving from professional honor
OF Christian integrity.
PROF. CHARLES A. GRAVES.
Prof. Chas. A. Graves, of the Law De-
partment of Washington & Lee University,
represented the Faculty. He spoke of Judge
Shelley having labored there for so many
years without compensation, and purely for
the love of his work and his love for young
man. He spoke of the affection the young
men bore him, and what grief the reception
of the news of his death caused among
them. In all his long acquaintance with him
he had never heard him speak except in
kindness of any member of the bar. His
devotion to his wife was remarkable. During
her illness he seemed to feel the suffering
more than her. felt, said Prof. Graves,
that if she died, he would not long survive.
After the adoption of Maj. Elders pre-
amble and resolution, and the usual diree,

COMBINATION OF MERITS.

Seventh and West Broad - Wells
Square - Street Cars-Large Size
Easy Terms.
The real estate men are determined that
no class of buyers shall have an excuse for
failing so invest. They have catered to
every taste in points of location, general
advantages and variety of terms. AS a
climax to all that has been done before. to-
days sale seems to combine all advantageous
terms previously offered. There are only
two streets in the southern section which
have the extraordinary width of.100 feet.
The Q two the auctioneer has to boast of as
on his plat to-day. As if to do all that
could be done for the lots chance gives the
additional advantage of public park, the
work of adjoining which has already been
commenced. In order to make the lots en-
tlrely acceptable, rear entrance or lane 20
feet wide has been laid out, still leaving the
unusual depth to each lot of lis feet.
With all these merits, nothing is left to be
desired, but the ability to buy. Kindly
consideration comes to the relief by making
this possible with the small payment of $25.
But the balancep is inquired about A
saving of $40 per month takes care of that.
A few sacrifices, some extravagances left
off and the nucleus of home is secured.
The low rate of interest cannot be felt by
you, for it is cheaper than money can be-
had upon United States bonds in any of the
money centers for the same time. When
in addition to all of this a splendid street
car service takes you up one block from
these lots, and for cents will take you all
over the city, to either depot, to tue
wharves, it would seem that in point OF
location and general merit, nothing better
could be asked or expected than the lots
which are to be sold this afternoon.
