Russians in Armenia - Approval Of
Wlhelm's Speech.

LONDON, Oct 23.-The announcement cabled
here two weeks ago of the discovery of the
long-forgotten grave of Lord Howe, the hero
Of the battle of Ticonderoga in l75S. under a
street of the village of that name in New York
state, has stimulated the patriotism of few
public-spirited Englishmen who propose to ap-
propriately mark the resting place of the young
hero. Funds are being quietly collected for
the purpose, and an artistic monument will be
erected at a convenient spot near Ticonderoga
to which the remains can be conveniently re-
moved

WESTERN LUNATIC AsYLUM.-The annu-
ell report of Superintendent Blackford of the
Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, con
sains. much interesting information. The
whole number Of patients under treatment
during the year vas 677; the average
monthly number was sos; deaths SO; dis.
charged A. The number OF patients ad.
mitted from 1897 to 1880 has been Alp. of
WHOM there have died 1855; there have
been discharged 1878, leaving now in the
asylum 600.
The Superintendent alludes to the over.
crowded condition 1.-The ssylun,s OF the
State and recommends their enlargement or
the building of new ones. The asylums are
DOW al! crowded beyond their capacity. and
many insane are held in the county jails,
where their condition is deplofable. The
necessity for early treatment is also strong
ly set forth by the Superintendent, which
of course cannot be with the patients out
side of the asylums.

ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE.

The GAZETTE, chronologically,
is in the NINET1ETH year of its ex-
istence, and is not only the Oldest
paper in the State, but, with few
exceptions, ip the country.
Notwithstanding the fitness Of
its years, it has kept, and will con.
tinue to keep, abreast of the timeq
in all that pertains to NEWS paper,
furnishing its readers daily with
perfect mirror Of passing events,
domestic and foreign.
Its facilities for obtaining news
as they increase are taken advan.
tage of and used for the benefit of
its readers, who. are thus kept
thoroughly posted as to all that ia
of interest politically, socially, f.
nancially or commercially.
Special attention is given to mat.
tiers concerning the State and it's
welfare, while its local columns
contain all that is of the slightest
interest to Alexandrians.
Its regular correspondence from
Washington and Richmond are fea.
lures Of peculiar interest, as attest.
ed by the eagerness with which
they are read and copied by other
papers, while its editorial depart
ment, conducted with reference to
the best interests of the city, State
and country, will continue to adj
vocate what is believed to be right,
Just, honest and patriotic.
With a view to the interest Of
merchants, farmers and all inter.
ested, its commercial columns are
carefully edited and its market re.
ports are acknowledged by all to
be faithful and accurate.
Through all this section of the
State, and in all parts of the coun.
try where Virginians have located,
there will the GAZETTE generally
be found, and thus as an advertis.
ing medium it has few equals out
side the large cities.
In the household, counting room
and workshop it is an ever-welcome
visitor, acceptable alike to old and
young, the grave and the gay.

Humble Omces Performed - Aniaals
That AfssrwarA Acquired Fame
With the exception Of DR.. Oliver
Wendell Holmes-who would. BY the
way. have made IN excellent sporting
man. had not tho superior attractions
OF literature and medicine interviewed
Il do not know that any writer Of
mark has ever said . good word for the
American trotter. This is . great pity.
for tho animal plays an important part
in tho daily life of the whole com.
munity. being concerned. a. the
AutOcrat pointed out, even in the early
conveyance Of milk.cans and in the
prompt delivery Of fresh rolls. These
humble Offices have actually been per.
formed by horses who afterward &C.
quired fame upon the track. Within
the past year. an old Dutchman.
living in Western New York and on
gagged in the milk business. was aston.
ished and not little frightened by the
pace which his beast set up one frosty
morning. The cart was bounced over
the pavements Of the city where his
route lay. the cans hoped and ratified
in their seats. and the driver lost his
breath. But he had no sooner recov.
cred it than he began to boast Of the
wonderful speed at which the horse
had carried him, and therefor the
animal Was taken out, harnessed to .
buggy. on Saturday afternoons and
like occasions, for q brush on the road
with the fast trotters OF the neighbor-
hood. all Of whom he outstripped.
Pretty soon the Dutchman's son. who
had been brought up in this country.
procured an old sulky. and put the
milk-wagon steed in some sort of train
ing. In two months time they ap-
peared at track. engaged in q race
with veteran drivers and horses OF
established reputation, and beat them
all in three straight heats-a wonder
full achievement for . green trotter and
jockey. and IN immense surprise to the
professional persons who had jeered
at the uncouth appearance Of the new.
Corners. This case bears out DR..
Holmes illustration Of the milk-cart;
nor is the other example that he gives
without foundation, in fact Some
years ago q bakers horse in Boston.
after delivering her rolls and brown
bread in the city one day - usual
was driven to Saugus. . distance OF
about eight miles. and started in
q match race at the track
there. In tho exuberance Of her
spirits she ran away in the first
heat. and went around the course once
or twice before she could DO stopped.
But being allowed to start again. not
withstanding this irrcgularity. she
won the race, and finished her days
work by bringing tho baker back ID
Boston aud beating all tho horses that
engaged with her on the road home.
It must not be supposed. however.
that these animals were entirely o
plebeian origin. The milkman's horse
