Stanley's Peculiar Views.

The great explorer Stanley has some
peculiar views on tho subject of woman
ly characteristics which will doubtless
be quite as interesting to the average
reader as he report of his latest expiora-
lions. According TO letter written by
him just before his last departure, and
published in The Woman's Cycle. no

ALR1cH's CROSSING, Dec. II. 1873,

ALRICH's CROSSING, Dec. II, 1890
Since my last writing the weather and
roads have improved wonderfully, the air
is soft and balmy as June and riding along
among the green pines it is hard to realize
it is Decent Der, but Xmas is drawing near
and Xmas means Xmas here, not the obser-
ance of one day only but the whole week is
given up to joy, mirth and genuine old Vir-
ginia hospitality. The farmers have gath
cred their crops and are enjoying the hunt
ing season. Wild turkey and deer abound
here and the report of tho rihemen can be-
heard on all sides.
We drove to Charlottesville distance
of two miles, few days ago to see the jack
son Monument and the spot where the old
Chancellor house was burned. Tbs house has
been rebuilt but 4 portion of the Old wall
remains thick with cannon balls sticking
here and there in the brick. The monument
which stands about "a mile beyond the house
