The Late Judge stuart.
LITwALrON, Va April 9

LITwALrON, VA, April %, 1889.
To the editor of The Alexandria Gazette:
1t is with profound regret that the citizens of
this section have heard of the death of Judge
Charles E. Stuart. The loss of Judge Stuart is q
State disaster. Virginia has lost one of her best
and brightest citzens. had the honor to sit in
the House of Delegates over which h6 so ably and
so fairly presided He msde the most i'm partial
presiding officer that the House has had since the
war, and bis rulings were always last Just now
when there is CLEAN of hope that Virginia will
make one more effort to redeem her character by
electng debt payers to the Legislature, regardless
OF political parties, it is sad that one who has
fought so hard to remove the stains of reputation
from Virginia's escutcheon should pass away be-
fore he ~ his hopes realized. His teachings and
example will live and the people of Virginia will
ever remember him as an honest, able, upright
and true gentleman. who was always on the alert
to defend and build up the grand old Common.
wealth. Respectfully, T. s. CURLETT.

IT SEEMS there is a white republican
league in Richmond, as wellas in Birming
ham. But it is as impotent in the former as
in the latter. The sole effective strength of
the republican party Of the South, in Vir.
sinia rs we'll as in Alabama, is composed OF
negroes. This being SO, the idea of a white
republican league in any part of the South
is absurd Why, if the southern negroes
were to leave their white political allies, the
latter would be positively lonesome

A WASHINGTON republican newspaper, 3
day or two ago said Col. Dudley was a man
of acknowledged influence with the republi
cans in that city. This may be true, but
that the famous Colonel referred to doesn't
think go, is proved by the following extract
from recent letter to man who had re-
qnested him to endorse his application for
m office:
81 am sorry to say that will be unable
to render you any assistance whatever with
the President He has lost his backbone,
and is too cowardly to be sean consulting
with me, for the simple reason that the
copperheads and rebels OF Indiana have
trumped up lot of charges against me-"
This will go long way toward otiaetting
some Of MIR. Hsrrisons delinquences.

Elk Gov. CAMERoN, of Virginia, in his
late speech in Richmond said Thomas JEFF
fofson was never democrat, the principles
of his party were the same az those of the
republican party of to-day and yet some
democrats are foolish enough to believe JEFF
ferson was democrat" Whatin the world
is the matter with the ex Governor? But
in the same speech the Ex-Governor &C.
knowledged that he owed his election to the
negroes. III this he was correct without
dispute.

unusual character visited this county on
Saturday laat. As we'll as we can learn it
commenced between the Blue Ridge and
Cobler mountains and, covering space two
miles wide, extended through the county
by way of Orlean, Marshall, The Plains
and other points where the last we heard of
it was below Manassas. We are credibly In
formed that in the vicinity OF Orlean
and other points masses composed Of
snow and numerous hail stones fell
in Jumps as large around as felt hat
brm. The water was so deep in places that where
these large Jumps struck water would sometimes
be thrown twenty or thirty feet. There must
have been series of water spouts, rs in many
places where ordinarily there was scarcely sdrain
fences were washed away. The storm was accom-
panied with lightning and thund.r. Happily
vegetation was not sufficiently advanced TO suffer
much damage Many of the hail stones were IS
large as guinea eggs Harrsnton VUgaian.

commissioners and the conceded sentiment
of every pedagogue was, How shall pass:"
Washington county galantly took up the
oars and piled safely across, landing each

deposited in her grip-sack. While in Iron

TITLE-Dayid's Last Words.
TEXT-2 Sam XXlII, II.
pLACE-In Jerusalem.
IIIsTORY-David was now 20 years old,
He had reigned King of Israel 40 years. He
was Is years old when he was anointed by
Samuel the prophet, but took the kingdom at
%. His accession TO the throne was oppos-
ed by all the tribes except that of Judah to
which he belonged. Civil war ensued In
which he achieved great military glory,
which continued throughout his reign. He
subdued the Jebusites, Philistines, and other
hostile tribes. His fair name and! record is
furnished by crimes committed out of the
luSts of the flesh. His younger son Absalom
perishes in rebellion against his father {.
Toward the close of his reign he began to
gather material for the temple, and abdicat-
ed his throne in order that his son Solomon
might be firmly seated thereon before his
death. The greater number of the Psalms
were written by him.
GEACHING-The Psalms contain the ssheart
life" of David. His heartife and humanity
in their breathings. David here gives dy-
ING testimony of the faithfulness eff God to
perform his promises. He always regarded
his elevation and success as the special act
of Providence, for divine purpose, By his
songs he elevated humanity around him.
Who but stole can listen to their reading
and not be stirred to nobler action, more
coDsecrated living, deeper humility? There
is also testimony for inspiration of script
ure in this lesson, V. 2. The fate ofthe finally
wicked and unrepentant is touchngly and
wildly pictured. But the everlasting cove
nant of God is ordered In all things and sure
to those that fear Him and trust in His name.
Only they can utter the words of David at
this time, who have passed the rhorny paths
of earth. But with lips grown aged, and
diamed in voice he looks away to the prom
ised rest and sings trustngly and teuderly.
He rests all his hopes on the "Rock of Is
rael." His had been a storm beclouded
life, but his life had Il golden setting."
