MANASSAS, VA -, Sept. "A political
gathering Ike those which used to assem-.
bic around he Virginia hustings before the
war, ASSEMBLED to-day at BrentsvilIe, the
county seat Of Prince William, to hear a
speech by Major J. Hoge Tyler, the demo-
cratic nacl nee for Lieutenant Governor.
The Mair is conducting his canvass after
the old fashioned style, which takes SO we'll
with the p pie of the State. He arrived
at Manassas Sunday. and soon found that
for the poif cal candidate there is 10 day
of rest. M.ny people called at the hotel to
see of what stuff the new seeker for public
honors was made, and Maj. Tyler proved
himself quito eqnal to the emergency. He
had cord al haudshake, a few pleasant
words AMI = little political talk for every
body, and ,on established local 1eputa-
ton for ceeerness and geaiality. Major
Tyler has IN easy knack OF making and
winning f,iends, which will be heavily tax
ed before election time. In appearance and
conversations he is a representative Virgin
ia centlen N, and his close knowledge of
the State. art her resources was noted with
satisfaction by those who were introduced
to him. Mayor Tyler told the people tina,
he was q fai ner, not lawyer; that South
west Virginia, where he lives, would give a
big democr':ic majority in November, and
that hard work was needed in the present
campaign.
This morning Maj. Tyler was driven over
to Bieusville, six miles from here, and
there the programme of handshaking and
talking had to be gone over with. In addi-
tion to the ether attractions the fact that it
was ''cnurt day. helped to increase the
crowd Fully 500 persons, including many
prominent county republicans, gathered in
the town. Everybody knew everybody
else, and tbs occasion was as much of re-
union as anything else. The farmers in
their slouched hats and riding boots moved
abo.t the courthouse, greeting each other
10 hearty fashion, and asked after friends,
traded or se'd horses, talked over the poll
tical situation and incidentally compared
impressions of the new candidate. AS
plain but cultivated Virginia stock.raiser
he took immensely with the crowd, aud so
ready was Ia to discuss politics with every
body that bis battle was half fought before
he began his speech.
MAJOR R. TAYLOR SCOTT IN THE SOUTH

NEwBERN, VA, Sept. 2.-Captain R.
Taylor Scott, democratic nominee for at

bly, serve them as attorney general, Mr.
Scott reviewed the political history OF the
State al through the days of reconstruc-

majority of the qualified voters OF this Com
monwealt. has been suppressed - General
Mahone's Norfosk Speech.
1t always makes these who are familiar
with the Republican nominees political his
tory, smile and shrug their shoulders when
they hear such expressions as the above fall
from him. Here again he brings upon him
self injurious criticism by-his unwise and
unjust imputations upon the Democratic
party, General Mahone's memory doubt
less takes him back to the campaign of 1876,
when he was chairman of the Fourth Dis
trict Democratic Committee and authorized
the issue of the circular letter which we ap-
pend. He argues, from consc;ouenass OF
his own methods then and since, that they
are still in vogue with the Democrats, and
he would have the people believe that his
pure soul now shrinks from the contempla'
ton of such election schemes as he then
conceived and executed. Here is the cir

The Japanese Wooden Shoe.

Clutter, clatter, clatteri What a noise the people make as they go along the road! They all wear wooden sandals, and their stockings are kind of hitter
 sith a finger for the big toe. During
 yet weather their sandals become stilts, and the whole Japanese nation increases its stature by three inches when it rains. These sandals are held to the foot by straps coming over the toes, and there is straw sole between the foot and the sandal of wood. A tall Japanese on stilt sandal closely approaches the ridicu- lous. He sometimes tucks up his long gown under his belt to keep it from be- ing spattered by the mud, and the backs of his bare calves seem to be walking of with the man. The Japanese walk is peculiar. The men put their feet straight in front of them. like the American In. dian. They lift them high of the ground, and they have get thers air about them. The women wabble and wabble; they bend over as they walk, and they have what IS now in America the fashionable stride. Their little feet in sandals turn inward, and all female Japan is pigeon toed. Your Japanese beauty is not aversa to showing her ankle, and the soul of the Japanese beau does not futter when he sees two inch slice of cream colored skin above the three inch foot mitten. The Japanese shoe store is one Of wooden. ware rather than of leather, and the cob bier mends his shoe with the chisel ans I4aner.-Frank G. Carpenters Letter.

Closing Exercises at St. Jos

The closing exercises at St. Joseph a academy at the new convent yesterday at 4 o'clock, was attended by a large number of ladies and gentlemen of this city. The programme was carried out with much credit to those participating in the various exercises. The music was pronounced to be excellent and was fur nished by students of the academy. The singing and literary exercises evidenced the fact that the Catholic school in Tue son is an educational institution of which the people of Tucson should feel proud. The prizes distributed among the pupils were very handsome, and lim- ited space only prevents the publication of the list of prizes with the names of the lucky ones who drew them. The gold medal for music, awarded to Sarita Durazo, Mary Wilbur and Jessie Hughes, was drawn by Sarita Durazo. That of scholarship awarded to Matilda Martin. Mary Watts, Armida Felix, Larita Du- razo and Matilda Keen was drawn by Matilda Keen.

oome Ur enc lrfcKs-are perfOfmed by every juggler you meet; others again are of such an astonishing nature, and bor- der so nearly on the miraculous as to be beyond the capacity of an ordinary pss- former. Of this character are the orangk tree trick and the burial trick. If, af.ss having witnessed these feats performed in broad daylight, one is of the opinion that it was an optical delusion produced by the mesmeric power of the operator
 l can only say that the ability to obtain an absolute mastery over every faculty of the observer is no less astonishing than would be the actual performance oa an apparently impossible feat.
 The most noticeable feature in the per formance of the Indian juggler is the entire absence of any kind of apparatus His scanty clothing affords no oppo, tunity for concealment, and every feat is performed simply by manual dexteritf or is delusion effected by mesmeric in. huences. The famous wizards of Europe and America were nothing without ap- paratus, and great deal of the effect oi their performances was due to their mag niicent and costly paraphernalia. In genlous mechanisms and expert assist ants were absolutely essential to the success of their delusions. As an illustrs ton of this may mention that Anderssn who, by the way, was the poorest wizard ever saw, considering his repu- tation-made oath some thirty years ago in an English bankruptcy court that his apparatus, destroyed by the burning of Covent Garden theatre, London, was worth over S80,000, and that the effori tQ replace it was the callse of his insOi vency. This amount, of course, included stage. properties and everything neces sary n his business. A 75 cent carpet bag would hold all the appliances deemed necessary by Hindoo juggler. Even in the beautiful butterfly trick he many factures his paper butterflies as occacio. requires. E. Romain in Tue Cos -

The Wham Robbery.

The preliminary examination of the prisoners held for complicity in the Wham robbery was commenced yester- day before the United States commis- sioner. The parties in custody are Will ford Webb, M. E. Cunningham, Gilbert Webb, w. Follett, Lyman Follett, Ed Fol let, Dan Rodgers and Thos Lamb. U. S.. Attorney Jeffords and Marshal Meade appeared for the government. The first witness examined was Major Wham. The major identified Gilbert Webb and Wall Follett as two of the men who at. tackled and robbed himself and posse. He was positive as to the idenity. Pri- vate Burg. of Co. E. 24th U. s. Infantry was the next witness. He identified Cunningham, Wall Follett and Will Webb as three of the men he seen in the robber party. He said Will Webb wore buckskin jacket.
 Seargent Ben Brown testified that he was present in charge of the escort and swore to seeing Cunningham, Will Webb and Gilbert Webb.
 The examination was resumed this morning. The first witness sworn was the woman "Frankie" who had been an interesting figure in the robbery. She identified Gilbert Webb and Thos. Lamb as being two of the parties she saw en- gagged in the robbery of Paymaster Wham. She said she knew others that were in the robbery, but did not know their names, but knew they belong around Solomonville. She was acquain- ed with all the defendants, but if any of them were there other than Webb and Lamb she did not recognize them. She was positive that there were ten or twelve of the robbers, During her examination she was very nervous and excited and showed a disposition to evade giving any direct answers. There are those who believe that she has not told half what she knows concerning the Wham robbery.
 Wm. A Haynes, colored soldier was then sworn and testified to seeing Lamb at Fort Grant on Thursday and Friday before the robbery and hearing him making inquiries as to when the paymas- ter would arrive and how long he would remain at Grant before leaving for Fort Thomas.
 The woman Frankie" also swore to seeing Lamb in Fort Grant on Thurs day before the robbery.
 Harry Bobbinhausen, Sergeant Pur- cell and Private Fleming also testified to having seen Lamb at Fort Grant on Thursday and Friday.
 J. G. Holladay, Chas Williams, Bish- op Layton, S. c. Heaton, A. T. Posey and D. W. Wickersham all were sworn and testified to having received various sums of money from Gilbert Webb since the robbery. They each spoke highly of the character of MT. Webb.
 The defence is being conducted by Hon. Ben Goodrich, of Phenix and Judge Ben Hereford and Frank Hereford of this city.
