An Old Relic Brought Out.

When Charity Division S. O. T. closed
it's doors in 1884, its large Bible was depos-
tied with Clerk Newton Argenbright of the
City Council, to be kept in the city's iron
vault. Last week it was taken out for use
by the recognized lodge. 1t is inscribed
Presented to Charity Division No. 6, Sons
of Temperance by the Ladies of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, Staunton, May LIST,
1S49." In it is still well preserved book
mark with embroidered on it Temperance
The Guardian OF Appetite and the Minis
tering Angel of Love, Purity and Fidelity.n
1t is a very large and handsome book and in
excellent preservation. In it's death column
are three inscriptions, recording the death
of Brother Samuel H. Brown, who depar-
ted this life January 18th, 1S49-he was one
of the petitioners for the original charter
of the Division; Brother Francis Bowles,
who died June p, 1S49,-long the Treasur-
er OF the Division, and Bro. Geo. Wexford,
who died J une 10, 1875, and who had been
fol- tWenty-four years member of the Or
der, and for time the presiding officer of
the Division. The old book will be re-
bound at Prufer' and be used at the next
meeting of the Division.

The Duff Opera Company at the Opera House
Next Monday Night

The announcement of the appearance OF
the J. G. Duff Comic Opera Company, from
the Standard Theatre, New Y ork, in grand
spectacular production of Won Suppe's char
ming opera comique, "a Trip to Africa, D
at the Opera House next Monday night
will afford great pleasure to the lovers OF
comic opera. The Duff Company will bring
a number of well-known artists, among
whom are Miss Laura Bellini, Miss Rose
Leighton, Miss Agnes Stone, Miss Maud
Wilson, Miss Marie Monta, Mr.. Harry
Brown, the well-knoWn comedian, MI.
Will Rising, MI. j. A. Moore, Mr.. Joseph
Weisner, and MI Willett Seaman.
Miss Laura Bellini, the prima donna, in
the present work finds roles suited to her
voice, in the bravura movements Which
are so characteristic of Won Suppe. Miss
Agnes Stone, formerly of the original Bos-
ton Ideals, and a sister OF Miss Marie
Stone of the Bostonians, is a member OF the
Duff Company. MI. Harry Brown created
the part of Prince Lorenzo, in "La Mas
cote, y and MI. VIII Rising is of "Little
Tycoon fame.
All of the scenery of the Opera House
will have to be removed to make way fol
the scenery from the Standard Theatre
New York, and this makes possible the
unique scenic effects which characterized
the original productions in Chicago. The
costumes are unrivaled in beauty OF design
and splendor of coloring. The grand chorus
swells the number Of this organization tt
fifty people.
The plot of the opera is exceedingly
amusing, centering in the efforts of Titanic
Fanfani, Miss Laura Bellini), to obtain {
fortune without marrying, which she eau
only get fairly by marrying. Her schemes
produce many comic scenes, and at last She
herself falls in love with, and wants to mar
Nv. the Prince Antarsid. 1t is with him that
occurs the gem of the opera-the Rose duet
The Charleston (W. Va.) Star, speaking OF
the opera there, says:
ga Trip to Africa" by the Duff Opera COM
pany, last night, was the finest operate per
Torrance ever given in this city, and it was
duly appreciated as such by all who attended.
Every member of the company is an artist of
more than ordinary merit. The company car
ries carload of special scenery, nearly all of
which was too large for our stage, and num-
Der of drays were kept busy all day transferr-
ing it to the Chesapeake & Ohio road. few
small pieces were put on, however, with good
effect. The costumes were the finest ever seen
here.

WHAT MAKES 4 BOOM.

An experienced boomer has given it as his
analAsisKthat boom is composed Of one
part fllral advantages and three parts
energs Of the people. Something in line with
this, was Il remark of gentleman Of AT
gusta county, who returned from Florence
Ala, last week Being asked to account for
the success of that Southern town, he re-
Piled The wonderful go and energy dis
played by those people down there, would
build a city in a desert" 1t is the fact
that, after all, the energy of the people
is the thing that makes boom. If the
people Of Staunton and Augusta had at any
time within the past year, exhibited the
enterprise that the people Of Florence, or,
to come nearer home, the people Of LeXing-
ton and Rockbridge, in our own State, have
shown, our town and county would have
gathered to itself any amount Of foreign
capital and manufacturing enterprises. But
it seems our people have, up to this time,
preferred to furnish the capital for others,
rather than go to work for themselves.
They have believed more in sending away
capital than in bringing it in. The phenOm-
enon of the situation is that, as rule, the
men most deeply interested in property OF
other interests here, are the most apathetic
or show a left-handed spirit of enterprise
by sending their money abroad to gamble in
stocks. The men who have the least interest
here: who could put all their belongings iii
a grip-sack and emigrate in twenty-four
hours notice are, Oh the other hand, the
most earnest in their desire to build up
their home They invest to the extent their
wages will admit, i'll any scheme that will
tend to that end, and our town presents the
strange spectacle of the wage-earners, with
out dollar Of real estate, more liberal, more
prompt and more earnest in their support of
home enterprises, than the capitalists and
real estate owners. If there is any other
city in Virginia in this pitiful condition,
we do not know it. IF there is, we are sorry
for it.

THE DEMOCRATIC PILOT.

In alphabetic uccession-Richard f.
Berne of Richmond, John A. Buchanan OF
Washington county, John L. Harris of
Rockingham, Phil. w. Mckinney Of Prince
Edward. and Chas. I. OFerrall Of Rock
ingham, are in the field for the nomination
for Governor. 1t would be very cranky
Democrat. indeed, who would not be salts
fled with any one Of the five, for nominee. So,
the field is clear of any excited contests over
differing issues represented in offering
aspirants. They all stand on the same
platform-The Riddleberger Bill, 10 in
crease Of taxation, and the fullest amount
for the schools. That is all Virginia has in
the shape of al issue now. So much for the
Captain of the Ship But about the PHO
In THIS campaign that is far more impor-
tant than the Captain. When the Ship Of
State turns from the broad ocean into a
river the Pilot takes sole command. We
know what good pilot is to us; We are just
parting with one-John S. Barbour. When
our Augusta delegates go to the State con-
Vention at Richmond. ninety days from
now, let them see that the Pilot be nearest
alike to John S. Barbour. We have told
them of one-one whose steering of a smaller
craft in most difficult waters Wehave closely
watched. He will do. 4 correspondent of
the Index-Appeal, giving the opinion Of a
gentleman prominent i'll the political affairs
of the State, of Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson Of
Richmond, quotes him as saying:
but Ellyson is the man for the place. /
know the others personally and | believe that
either Martin OF Gordon would do faithful and
efficient service, but Ellyson has not his SUI
perior for political acumen, untiring energy,
and executive ability i'll this part of the Union.
would say if you want Virginia to be solidly
Democratic next fall, nominate an aggressive,
dashing, popular man for Governor: nominate
good men for the legislature, put Chairman
Barbour's cloak on Ellyson, and have Jim
Fisher for Secretary of the Committee. With
such start in the campaign no Republican
boom Oh earth could hurt the Virginia Demo
cracy. But unless we have hustling cam
paign,-a red-hot ampaign,-Democracy i'll
this State stands very little show

handsome in its new dress
Esprit of the Valley.l
Week before last the VINDICATOR made its
appearance in new dress, and a handsome
one it was indeed. This was in honor of its
tiftieth birth day. We neglected to mention
this last week, and why we could have done SO
we do not know, unless it is that we are al
ways so much interested in the re0dsng matter
contained in that most excellent paper that
we have no eyes OF ears for anything else while
we have it in our hands. But we find upon
examination that the dress is perfectly
charming" and-serves to draw admirers, who,
upon a close examination, forget the person
al pulchritude,' so intent are they upon Its
mental charms.

Clearing the Sidewalks.

The sidewalks of Stalmton, yesterday
morning, were as clear of obstruction as if
it were Sunday, 1t came about this way.
In September last a number of complaints
were made before the Grand Jury, of OBJ
struction of the sidewalks. These obstruc-
lions had been created under the color of
authority in the following ordinance of the
city:
Sec. 27.-Any person employed in business
in the city, may put up sign which does not
extend over the sidewalk more than six feet
from his place of business, and is not less
than eight feet above the sidewalk and may,
in front of his place of business, and next
thereto, occupy with his goods, one-fourth of
the sidewalk, provided said sidewalk be not
less than seven feet wide.
The Grand Jury ascertained, from legal
authority, that it had been decided in the
highest courts that city council has no
authority to grant the use of the sidewalks,
which are the property of thepeople, to any
individuals, and that the above ordinance
was void. Three weeks ago the City Council
got the opinion of the City Attorney to the
same effect and On Tuesday night last
repealed the ordinance. On Wednesday
morning Mayor FultZ directed the officers
to notify those who were obstructing the
walks, to clear them. The occupancy of
sidewalk is a right that neither the City
Council nor State Legislature can give, and
while the breaking up an old custom works
hardship in some cases, there is no legal way
to re-establiSh it.

IMPROVING EARM STOCK.

Thesa of ''Bell Boy a breeding stallion
in Kentucky, last week. for 81 600, is a
marked indication of the progress of the
country in the direction Of improving the
stock on farms. Another indication, nearer
home, will be seen at March court-day, in
Augusta county. Never, we venture to say,
has there been in the history of stock
breeding in Augusta, anything to equal the
exhibition of blooded stock-Percherons
Clydesdales and Cleyelands, that will be seen
in Staunton on the 18th of this month, if
the weather prove fair. This county last
Spring had more Percherens and Clydes-
dales than were owned in the whole Valley
of Virginia beside, and this Spring the ex-
bihit Will far exceed that of 1888.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Harrisonburg Spirit tRep.) says that
it has Every reason to believe that Gen.
Harrison has had the policy of appointing
Judge Hughes under consideration, and
that his peculiar illness at this Juncture
would have secured his appointment but
for the fact that tntse VINO were bent on
forcing Gen. B. ahone into the cabinet have
determined if they cannot get their favor
ite to prevent auy Oh e else rom being ap-
pointed from Vfg nia."
There was a queer scene ut the West VIZ
ginia State House in Charleston, Monday.
Gen. Golf (Rep.) appeared at Gov. Wilson S
office, made 81 eech claiming that he was
elected on the face OF the returns; that the
fact that the legislature did not count ami
declare the vote made no difference; took
the oath of Office on Bible, which friend
Of his in the crowd had handy, and then de-
manded the Office from GOV. Wilson. The
Governor informed him that under the con-
stitution there being no Governor declared
elected, he himself held over, and declined
to acknowledge Golf as Governor. Then
appeared Hon. r. S. Carr, Union Labor)
President of the Senate, who stated that
under the constitution there being no Gov
ernor elected, he was Governor, and friend
of his administered the oath of office to him.
Gov. Wilson made the same reply to him he
had made to Gen. Golf. The Court Of APP
peals will now take the rival claims in
hand.
The Montgomery Messenger states that
G. A. Heermans, Commonwealth Attor-
ney of that county, is in Washington, a
candidate for Judge III. G. Aliens position
as District Attorney, and that Gov. Came
ron, Col. Brady, Gen. Groner and others,
endorse him.

A War Renaissance.

Capt. Thomas J. Burke of Huntington,
w. Va, a brother of Messrs. Robt. w.
and w. A. Burke of this city, who was a
Lieutenant in, and afterwards Captain Of,
the West Augusta Guards, that was raised
in this city for the civil war, is writing
some "reminiscences of it for the Huntington
Evening Times. In one, he describes it's
experience in it's first pitched battle-the
first Manassas, and adds:
Among those who fell on that dreadful
day was a near and dear friend. He had a
sweetheart, one of the fairest daughters of
the Valley of Virginia, and when he was
known to be among the dead it was my
duty as his, and her friend to impart the
sad news, and without waiting to rest from
the fatigue and toll of battle. | wrote her
letter telling her how calamity and how
bravely her friend fought, and how nobly
he laid down his life for the cause he be-
ieved to be just. A reply was quickly re-
ceived, Il letter which | have kept as Il
sacred souvenir of the war until now and
even at this time, it brings recollections so
tender and so painful that [ always read it
with the sincerest SORROW. | can only pub
fish part:
''MY DEAR LIEUT.: Your letter is Just re-
ceiVed through Nellie b., and L
thank you from the bottom of my heart for
your kind thoughtfulness; but your news is,
heart is breaking, yet feared it all day long
Sunday, and while hearing the guns at Manas-
sas felt some dread fear. x l wept,
and prayed, but it awaited not. = 1
hope that you will bury Will carefully and
tenderly, and mark his grave so can at any
time find it, if you cannot send his body to his
friends in Stanton [ shall always be true to
his memory and shall ever esteem you because
you were his friend"
This is all Every member of the Stone
wall brigade who was in the first battle of
Manassas will understand well the descrip-
tion of the storming Of the Robinson Hill,
and all my old friends of the Fifth Virginia
Infant ry will understand the rest.

THE PRESIDENTIAL
INAUGURATION.
MATERIAL POINTS IN THE PRESI.
DENTS ADDRESS.
THE CABINET, WITH MR.. BLAINE
AT THE HEAD, CONFIRMED.

Monday at Washington, was like the
Monday, forty eight years ago, when Presi-
dent Harrison's grandfather was inaugur-
ated-a day Of pouring rain from dawn to
night. The crowd in Washington was as
great as, ifnot greater than, when Cleveland
was inaugurated, and the discomfort gen
eral. AT an early hour, President Cleveland
called on Gen. Harrison and they rode
together in the great procession to the
Capitol. Foraker Of Ohio, who was at the
head of the Ohio representation, received an
ovation along the line similar to that Fitz
Lee OF Virginia received, when he rode
with Cleveland. After taking the oath in the
Senate, President Harrison repaired to the
portico, where he read his inaugural adj
dress. 1t opens by a review of the progress
of the country to this time. Then comes an
argument i'll favor of Protection. OF the
surplus in the Treasury he thinks it can be
judiciOusly expended in a navy, subsiding
steamship lines for commerce, and so forth.
The points in his address which every resi-
dent of the eX-slave States is most inter
ested in, we give below:
THE COLORED VOTE MIGHT BE USED BY SOUTH
ERN PRoTECTIoNIsTs.
How long will those who rejoice that slave
~ no longer exists cherish or tolerate the in
capacities it put upon their communities.
look hopefully to the continuance of our pro-
tective system and to the consequent develop
ment of manufacturing and mining enterprises
in the States hitherto wholly given to a9ricul-
tlre, as potent influence i'll the perfect unfit
cation of our people. Men who have invested
their capital in these enterprises, farmers who
felt the benefit of Their neighborhood, and men
who work in the shop or field will not fail to
find and defend community Of interests. Is
it now quite possible that the.farmers and pro-
noters Of the great mining and manufacturing
enterprises which have recently been estab-
lshed in the South may yet find that the free
ballot of the workingman, without the dis
tnction of race is needed for their defence, as
we'll as for his own? | do not doubt that if
those men in the South who now accept the
tariff views of Clay and the constitutional ex-
positions of Webster would courageously
avow and defend their real convictions, they
would not find it difficult, by friendly instruc-
ton and cooperation, to make the black man
their efficient and safe ally, not only in estab-
Alishing correct principles in our national ad
