POLITICAL NOTES.
Neither Colonel James ID. Brady nor
John NJ. Langston went to Norfolk.
They are both quietly engaged at their
regular duties awaiting the action of the
convention. What political significance.
if any, is to be attached to their absence
from the State Convention this depo-
nent is not prepared to say. Langston
SAYS he knows nothing of the published
statement that he had renowned all re-
beilion in the party and that he intend
ed TO make a conciliatory speech in the
Norfolk Convention. This was all news
TO him. He declined, however, to
make any further statement until after
the Republican ticket is nominated.
A prominent Southside Democrat,
speaking of the popularity Of the Demo
cratic ticket and the enthusiasm shown
in its behalf, says if the districts else
where in the State do as well in No
vember as the Fourth will do Mckin-
ney, Tyler. and Scott will go into Office
by a big majority, no matter who may
be nominated at Norfolk.

10 S1Qr reporter he related the story
of his troubles. He is tventy-three
wears old. and has been in this country
for seven years He has spent most OF
his time about the cotton-mills of Spring
field, Mass. Every mill ne worked in
he imagined that all the females at work
wanted him to marry them. In this
wav he was driven from place to
place, and was not permitted to work
in any factory more than three months.
Finally the poor fellow imagined
that Congress passed a law requiring
him to marry all the females in the Mas
sachusetts mills. When he married them
lie was to receive the 100000 Then
his prospective wealth gave him more
trouble than his prospective marriages.
He imagined that he was to be the VIC
tim of murderous conspiracy, and that
he would be shot and robbed OF his
wealth. What to do he did not know.
Finally he concluded to leave the State
of Massachusetts and seek an interview
with the President. He then discovered
that the emptiness of his purse pre-
vented his visiting Washington, and
so he started for one of the other New
England States. He first wrote letter
from Springfield to the President. The
letter was regularly registered and sent
off by the postmaster at Springfield.
That letter was dated January Il, 1889.
Not receiving an answer to the letter,
Schach went to Hallowell, Me-, from
where, on the 23d of April, he addressed
another letter TO President Harrison.
Then he continued sending registered
letters from time to time until he had
sent nearly dozen.
THE PRESIDENT MIGHT HELP HIM.
Not receiving a reply TO any OF them
he made up his mind to visit Washing
ton and call upon the President. He
made the start two months ago, and last
night he entered the " Promised Land. Z"
Yesterday was a bad day for him, as he
was unable TO obtain meal ON the road.
1t was after shutdown when he struck the
city, and having only twenty cents in his
pocket he looked for a free lodging
house. Being unable to find one he en-
tered box-car on the Baltimore and Po-
tomac railroad track, where his clear
conscience permitted him to spend a
comfortable night.
This morning when be arose he went
to a barber.shop. where he spent his last
20 cents He paid 10 cents for shave,
and the last 10 cents he paid to the boot
black for "shine." He Yves then ready
70 present himself to the President The
blacking covered the sections OF his
socks exposed BY the holes IN his ahoes.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS,
August %, 1889.
This is certainly season OF brilliant
entertainments. Not day passes with
out q half-dozen or n dozen social gather
ings upon the luxurious galleries OF the
wealthy cottagers, which, at any other
place. and even here if it were not for
many more brilliant affairs, would be
considered events Of the season worthy
of minute description, bat here they are
only mentioned in the most casual way.
The society here this year is exception
ally cultivated and refined, embracing
representatives from every section OF the
Union and Of every phase of religious.
professional, political, and commercial
life. The continual round of pleasure
and the hedlthful change OF scene TO be
found upon that higher plane OF social
existence have made the closing week a
brilliant and successful one at the White.
CLUB GERMAN.
Last night witnessed another brilliant
club german, and the ballroom looked a
revelation OF light and life-with the rich
costumes and rare diamonds glittering
beneath the brilliant chandelier, pre-
senting 4 grand tableau Of life and beau
ty. The dressing was unusually elegant,
and the cool weather brought out enough
colors to make an enhancing picture.
Miss Mason, OF Virginia, looked be-
witching in white satin and diamonds.
Miss Burton. OF Mississippi, handsome
blonde in India silk, garlanded with
roses, and pearl ornaments. Miss Grant.
of Georgia, III white null, Topped with
garlands of pink flowers. The toilet
worn by Miss Mary Robertson, OF Vir-
ginia, was a poetical inspiration IN ex-
auisite tints, happily designed to height
en- the rare and aristOcratic loneliness OF
a charming girl. Miss Virginia Payne,
Of Virginia, a pretty blonde, was con-
spicuous for her very graceful dancing.
Mrs. T.. ID. Christian, of Richmond,
was unusually handsome in white
satin en- trim and pearls-a re-
markedly bright and clever woman.
Miss Dogget, OF Fredericksburg, was
admired for her beautiful costume. She
has large lustrous eyes hair of deli
cate, soft yellow color, and peaches-and-
cream complexion. Mrs. Patrick, of
Richmond, is bright, full OF life, fond OF
society, and one of the most popular.

A QUEER DISEASE.
what sceptlcaI Victim Has to Say About
KleptomanIacs.

kleptOmaniaess
''The kleptomaniacs who conine
their attention exclusively to JeweIry
stores are multiplying to an alarming
extent. A few years ago we used to
read about their exploits in dry goods
houses and wonder how it was that
they would be tolerated. We know
now.
II venture the assertion without fear
of contradiction that nearly every re-
tail jeweler in New York has his regu-
lar kleptomania customers. Well
dressed women of respectable appear
ance generally seem to be afflicted with
this disorder. They attend church and
have families. When caught walking
off with some of our property we have
to politely remind them that they have
picked up something by mistake. To
accuse them of theft, would result in
an action for damages in most cases.
Their pastors come to US and plead /;
their husbands also put in an appear
ance, and what can we do except with
draw our charges and keep quletg II
we don't, their friends trade elsewhere
and denounce us as villains.
Why is 1t that men are not subject
to this disease. and if they are. how is
it that they are sent to prisonp Possi-
bly, kleptomania attacks the gentle sex
only; but don't see why it should, nor
how it is that there is not some disease
by which the persons afflicted would
have an Unsuitable habit of leaving
their personal property in stores in
stead of taking out ours without paying
fnr If. jewelers. Weekly.

A Good Tale of a Bat.


81 was much interested in sight |
saw down in the cellar last night"
said patient in one of the hospitals of
this city a day or two ago to fellow
patient who was confined to his bed,
and will tell you what it was: "As
I went in the old unoccupied room,
heard something squealing. Being in
my stocking feet I walked in without
making any noise, and by the light that
was burning dimly saw rat standing
against water-pail with something
which looked like piece of pretty
thich black cord in its mouth. To my
utter surprise / soon discovered that
what appeared to be a cord in the rats
mouth was really the tail of another
rat. After much Juggling and amid
much squealing Ga great of which
came from the inside of the paiD the
outside rat dragged another over the
edge of the vessel. 1t had rescued one
of its fellows from watery grave. At
this moment some one noisily entered
the room, and the rats scampered
away. l looked in the pail, which
was about two-thirds filed with water,
and discovered that the rat whose life
was saved had been tempted over the
edge by large crust of bread which
had been thrown there. IN. Y. Sun.

fronting him.
Clarence" she exclaims, in glad,
ringing tones, and springs into his
arms, which open wonderingly to re-
ceive her. and into which she fed as
bird to its nest.
THANK God! Thank Godr" so the
sentences fall from his white lips,
while her little hand brushes back the
hair from the brow, now so full of
lines; and ever and anon the young
lips set their seal upon it. She bends
again to kiss his mouth. but he holds
her back as he says:
81 can not take your kiss, Fay, until
l tell you from what you have saved
me. l had grown hard and desperate.
1t seemed useless battling against Fate.
l heard that you were gay and happy;
that you were admired by others; and,
so Fay, thought to put an end to all
this misery, this wretchedness of living;
no longer to hamper your young life
with mine. forgot there was God,
and 10! I found an angel sent by Him,
waiting and watching for me. Fay,
darling, can you forgive meP Can you
kiss lips which thus have sinnedP"
"Ah, Clarence, your every word but
stabs my heart with its own unworthi-
ness. Never, never again will we so
wrong our marriage vow; and whate'er
Fate has in store for US we will meet
and brave it hand in hand"
So courage and hope came back to
Clarence Somers' heart, and fortune
was not long in following. But in the
years which follow, when children's
voices fill their happy homes, one
bright, sunny-faced boy, the eldest of
the three, seems somewhat dearer to
the parents hearts. They call him
Percy, and with every utterance of the
name is waited the recollection of the
man who, by his brave. out-spoken
counsel, had restored happiness to two
earts.-Jenny Wren, in N. Y. Ledger.

Educate Them Together.

Experience clearly demonstrates that
on the whole there is less danger OF
moral contamination in well-managed
school, where rich and poor, high and
low, meet together on a common fra
ternal basis, than in schools founded
on class distinctions; and certainly the
hot-house system of education which
many parents favor has never produced
good results. Your healthy child is
safer amid the rough and tumble of the
public-schooi yard than in the society
of the nursery. Sturdy morality is not
secured by seclusion from the world,
nor by continuous application to dry
tones concerning the haps and mis-
haps of the past ages. Theological
Journal.
