The Annual Catholic Picnic to be Held
ut Fishers Hill.

The annual Catholic picnic for the benefit of
the Winchester missions, usually held on the
Island at Harpers Ferry. will take place Sat
Grounds, under the direction of the Rev. Thos.
j. Murray, assistant at the 3. H. Church, Win
chester, Father j. B. O'Reilly being absent on
vacation at his home in Ireland. Fishers
Hill Park is a natural pleasure ground located
on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, that, on
the day OF the picnic, will run two special pas
senger trains, one from Stanton, Virginia, and
the other from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia
These trains stop on the edge of the picnic
grounds, and it takes only few minutes walk
to reach them. In the heart of the beautiful
grounds, cool crystal brook flows in hollow
dotted here and there in the most picturesque
manner, with great white rocks. Some Of
them are covered with different coIored
MOSES, and thick with brilliant wild flowers
The trees some of them very huge, and bearing
still the scars from shot and shell of the late
war, meet overhead; the clear emerald water
reflects the surrounding shore, now SO quiet
and peaceful, in shifting CLEANS of light and
shadow. A number of cool mountain streams
bubble up suddenly, in the most impossible
places, to quench the thirst, and the tables
will furnish all that can be desired in the way
of eatables. There will be music and a num-
Der of amugements, and nothing left undone
| by those in charge, to contribute to the days
| enjoyment. A large number of persons are
expected, and it will be good opportunity for
| friends to meet and spend some hours togeth-

SELF. RESPECT AND MANHooD.-The
Lynchburg Adranee has no faith in the
boosted 'self-respect and manhood" of the
"kickers," and believes that they will
''eat the leek" and basely follow Malone.
1t says
"Brady and Wise, who have the most
violently denounced that leader and bis
methods for all that is dishonorable and ty.
ranical in party management, even Yost,
of the Valley, and Heermans and Bill Pen
dleton, of the Southwest, who have been
the most recent and violent ''kickers," will
flop over in week or two and throw up
their hats for Mshone."

In Highland, as in this and other coun-
ties, the unusually wet weather has caused
great damage to the wheat still in shocks in
the fields. The farmers of that county
raised more wheat this season than usual,
and it is pity that SO much of it has been
damaged by exposure to the wet weather.
We suppose that it was there as in this
county, that some of the farmers aiming to
save their hay-crop, neglected to house
their wheat-crop in time.

"MAHoNE PoLITICs."-The Richmond Times
seems to be as much opposed to Malone pol
itics' as the "kickers". The following extract
from an article in the Times. which contains
oven stronger expressions. reads very much
like some of the articles in the Press of the
"kickers' published not great while since In
denunciation of "Mahone's methods" as they
were designated:-
1.-THE Malone politics in Virginia means the
disgrace of the white people and tue dishonol
of every decent sentiment in society and pol
itics.
The dirty scoundrels who prostitute the pol
itics of the State. and their base uses. known
perfectly well that they truckle to the negroes
and that they are SO low that their negro al
lies despise them. There is not chapter il
disgrace of cowardice and political trading as
the story of the Malone rule in Virginia."
