But all previous displays were surpassed
YESTERDAY, when the public gaze witnessed
the beautiful aud tasteful display in the west
window.
Here, in garden Of living green. sur
rounded by all the fresh flowers tnat bloom
I'm the spriny. the little Lord aud Lady
Faunteroy were entertaining their juvenile
friends at the first picnic OF the season.
But IL was not alone the varied displsy Of

A colored man named Nunty Smith was
before Justice Whiting at the Henrico
county courthouse yesterday, charged win
breaking into the slaughter-house OF h. X
NJ. Hirsh aud stealing S2j worth OF beef
The evidence against him was quite strong,
and oe was held 10 await the action OF the
grand Jury, and was committed 10 jail.
When smith was arrested he was allowed
bail In the sum OF $500, and a friend OF his,
Frank Norman. went OH his bond, making
oath that he was worth the amount OF the
bond In real estate after payment Of all his
lust debts and lisbi tiles. Either during
the examination yesterday or prior to that
time Sauire Whiting received information
tbst Norman bad committed wilful perjury
,u falsely swearing that be was worth $500.
and a warrant was issued against him
charging him with this offence.
His case was taken up ye.terday as soon
a. that Of smith bad been disposed OF. and
for awhile the examination proceeded
smoothly, aud Norman put on bold front
ana denied bis guilt As The matter went
on. though, the evidence for the Common
wealth strengthened, aud the Court intl-
msied Tint the bOndsman would soOn be
keeuing smith company behind the bar,
or. Al any rate, Norman must have
felt inclined 10 this belief h'mSel',
for he soon brought the proceedings 10 a
yery sudden halt BY uncersmoni9usiy, but
with great alacrily, retiring Ifom Tue roon,
scaling the high wall that surrounds lhe
county court house and dis ippearing from

MRS. sToNEwALL:J L:JACKsoN.
Suggestion that II She wouId say
Yes She Could Get a Federal
AppOiufmenf.

Very recently the assurance was conveyed
10 the widow OF Stonewall Jackson, at the
request OF one who represented that be
spoke for the President and Postmaster
General Wanamsker. that they desired her
to accept appointment as postmaster OF
Lexington, Va.
Mrs. Jackson has not been resident OF
Lexington for many years, and IS now living
In Randolph county, n. c.
Her reply TO friend who wrote her that
he was informed she had only to signify her
willingness to accept TO receive the appoint
menD was that whlle sensible OF the kind
ness which prompted the move she would
be unable to give an Affirmative answer; but,
indeed, must positively decline. She stated
hst her father is now ninetv-one years OF
age and needs her presence. that though she
dearly loved Lexington and all its people
the place did not suit her health. and she
was confident she hadn't the requisite quali-
Ecations to Oil the Office.
The CORES p0udence with Mrs. Jackson
conducted through personal friend was at
the suggestion OF a prominent Virginia Re-
publican, who il is believed stands in high
favor at Washington, who said he spoke for
both Wanamaker and Harrison, and that in
this movement they designed 70 express
their high appreciation Of the noble wife OF
a great Confederate, and In so doing give
evidence OF their fraternal feeling Tor the
Confederate soldiers.
