In Bad Luck.

The Chicago Female Base Ballers had
bad luck from the time they entered the
Valley At Winchester they could not pay
their board bill and the hotel proprietor
MI. Elliott, advanced the money for them
to come to Stamton, hoping they would
make money here and pay him. The re-
ceipts in Staunton didn't come out
enough to pay him. He followed them
to Lexington where their receipts
amounted to about $50, which was still not
enough. Mr.. Elliott returned home with
their board bill at the Burke House in Lex
ington saddled on him, having i'll all made
an Improbable venture. So says the Lex
ington Gazette.

Answer to a Charge of Favorltlsm.

The Highland Recorder in reviewing a
campaign speech made there by Mr.. Chas.
Curry in advocacy of Malone, says:
The speaker in his effort to place the Demo-
cratic party in an unfayOrable light before
the public, had something to say about the
present management Of the Lunatic Asylum
at Staunton. He would have people believe
that those in authority at the Asylum dis
criminate between the wealthy and the poor;
that the wealthy are received into the institu-
ton, while the unfortunate poor are COM
PEELED to "rot and die in jails. Now wheth-
er this charge as applicable to the State at
large, be false OF true, the people of High
land county know that for years our poor lu-
natics and those in better circumstances have
alike been received into the institution when
application in due form was made. And as
to the particular instance, cited by the speak
er, of the young man who a short time ago,
on the Fair grounds at Staunton, exhibited
symptoms of insanity, and who, he stated
was, on account of his wealth, promptly re-
ceived into the institution; if he had reference
to the unfortunate young man from Highland,
he must have been misinfOrmed. He was not
a wealthy man, but a young man of ire
prOachable character, respectfully connected,
but of moderate means, making an indepen-
dent, comfortable living by his industry. But
true it is, his case was just as meritorious as
if he had been worth a million, and his dis
tressed relatives and many friends are graft
fed at his prompt reception.
