Virginia Law Makers Burn the Mid
night Oil.

Both branches of the Virginia general assem-
bly, were in session until o'clock Sunday
morning. Little business was DONE but there
was a great am unt of talk about politics.
Many democrats favored large reduction in
the appropriation for the colored normal col
lege at Petersburg, saying they regard it as
shameful to give large sums of money to edu-
cate negro republicans and refuse to pension
ex-confederate soldiers. Others, who are anx-
ious to get the colored vote for the bourbons,
say the platform Of the party pledges them to
keep up the college. The fight will go ON today.

A Panic In a Richmond Church.

Just after IL O'Clock yesterday morning fire
was discovered in Centenary Methodist church
on Grace street, Richmond, after the congre.

widest excitement for a moment, and men
women and children made a rush for the door
leaving their hats, ovefcoats and NUTS. The
fire originated under the front steps from the
heater and burned u portion Of the front floor
which was torn up by the fremen as soon az
they reached the spot. No one was hurt, but
several women tainted. The congregation of a

A Tricky SKYE Terrier.

An Englishman tells of fun loving
Skye terrier that he once had. He used
to be very fond of catching flies upon
the window panes, and if ridiculed when
unsuccessful was evidently much an.
ncyed. On one occasion, in order to see
what he would do, purposely laughed
immoderately every time he failed. 1t so
happened that he did so several times in
succession, partly, believe, in conse.
quence of my laughing, and eventually
he became so distressed that he positively
pretended to catch the fly, going through
all the appropriate actions with his lips
and tongue and afterward rubbing the
ground with his neck, as if to kill the
victim. He then looked up at me with
a triumphant air of success. So well
was the whole process simulated that
should have been quite deceived had ]
not seen that the fly was still upon the
window. Accordingly drew his atten-
tion to this fact, as well as to the absence
of anything upon the floor, and when he
saw that his hypocrisy had been detected
he skunk away under some furniture.

The Climate OF Southern California.

There are no sudden changes of sea-
son here. Spring comes gradually day
by day, perceptible hourly waking to
life and color; and this glides into
summer which never ceases, but only
becomes tired and fades into the repose
of short autumn, where the sere and
brown and red and yellow hills and the
purple mountains are waiting for the
rain clouds. This is according to the
process of nature; but wherever irriga-
ton brings moisture to the fertile soil,
the green and bloom are perpetual the
year round, only the green is powdered
with dust, and the cultivated flowers
have their periods of exhaustion.
I should think it well worth while to
watch the procession of nature here
from late November or December to
April. 1t is land of delicate and bril-
liant wild flowers, of blooming shrubs,
strange in form and wonderful in color.
Before the annual rains the land lies ir
a sort of swoon in a golden haze; the
slopes and plains are bare, the hills vel.
low with ripe wildcats or ashy gray
with sage, the sea-breeze is weak, the
air grows drier, the sun hot, the shade
cool. Then one day light clouds stream
up from the southwest, and there is a
gentle rain. When the sun comes out
again its rays are milder, the land is re-
freshed and Enlightened, and almost i'm
medlately a greenish tiuge appears on
plain and hillside. At intervals the
rain continues, daily the landscape is
greener in infinite variety of shades,
which seem to sweep over the hills in
waves of color. Upon this carpet oil
of green by February nature begins to
weave an embroidery of wild flowers,
white, golden, pink, indigo, scarlet,
changing day by day and every day more
brilliant, and spreading from patches in
to great fields, until dale and hill and
table-land are overspread with q refine
ment and glory of color that would be
the despair of the cerpet-weavers of Dag
.hesten.-Harper'S Ragazine.

A Tree ON a Courthouse Tower.

Zone of the unique sights I have seen
on my travels" said Arthur Thomas, of
New York, sis the old courthouse in
Greencastle, Ind. Twas in that town the
other day, and my attention was called
to full-grown tree. Now, the curious
thing about this tree is that it did not
grow on terra firma but on the tower of
the courthouse. The tree sprouted years
ago from a crevice in the bricks of the
tower, and it developed year after year,
until now it is foot or more in circum.
ference at the trunk. 1t is one of the
most curious tree growths have seen
anywhere. twill have to go soon, how
ever, for the county is going to construct
a new courthouse. 1t seems pity that
it cannot be preserved, for it is fine
specimen of cratic tree growth. "-Cin-

WHERE sERpENTs ARE FOUND.

One day a gentleman in India went into
his library and took down a book from the
shelves. AS he did so he felt slight pain IN
his finger like the prick of pin. He
thought that pin had been stuck by, some
careless person in the cover of the book. But
soon his finger began to swell, then bis arm
and then his body, and in few days ne
died. 1t was not pin among the books,
but small and deadly serpent.
There are many serpents among the books
nowadays. They nestle in the foliage of
some of our most Fascinating literature; they
coil around the flowers whose perfume in-
toxicates the senses: We read, VIC are
charmed with the plot Of the story. BY the
skill with which the characters are sculptured
or grouped, by the gorgeousness OF ths word

LIScoLS's RELIGIOUS LIFE.

This extract from the Hay and Nicolay
history, now in successive numbers OF the
Century, makes it clear that the martyr
President, though connected with no church,
lived the life of the spirit:
He continually invited and appreciated, at
their highest value, the prayers of good peo-
ple. The pressure of the tremendous prob
lens by which he was surrounded; the
awful moral significance of the conflict in
which he was the chief combatant; the
Overwhelming sense of responsibility, which
never left him for all hour-all contributed
to produce, in a temperament natural y seri-
GUS and predisposcd TO spiritual view of
life and conduct, sense of reverent accept
ance of the guidance of superior power.
From the morning when, standing amid
the falling snowflakes on a railway car at
Springfield. he asked the prayers OF his
neighbors in those touching phrases whose
echo rose that night in invocations from
thousands Of family affairs, to the memora-
Die hour when on the steps of the Capitol
he humbled himself before his Creator in
the sublime words of the second inaugural,
there is not an expression known to have
come from his lips or his pen but proves
that-he held himself answerable in every act
in his career to more august tribunal than
any on earth.

MANS TRUE VALUE.

The true way to estimate the value OF a
man is to sit him over against the cross.
Look at the cross first to see how much he
cost, and then look at the man apart from
his condition and environment, and you
will see how much he is wtrth. In this way
we shall learn to regard men not by what
they are worth to the country or to the COM
munity, or even to themselves, but to God.
Look at the sinner through the eyes OF your
Master. and you will see very different
person from the one you see when you look
at him through the eyes of the world: In
the one case you will see underneath all the
soiled and married exterior precious I'M
mortal soul, for whom Christ died. In the
other YOU will see only a miserable. worth
less wretch-a tramp-LRev. J. II. Hoadley.
