Birds THAT Hide Behind trains.

An engine driver on one of the Scotch
lines reports that he has noticed that GER

species make use Of the passing of the trains
Tor predatory purposes. They fly close be-

hidden by the smoke, but carefully watch
Ing for the small birds, which, frightened
by the train as it PUSHES roaring past, fly
up In bewildered shoals. The merlins then,
while the little birds are thinking more of
the train than of lurking foes, swoop on
them from the ambush of the smoke and
strike them down with ease If they miss

Chubby hands 80 brown and small,
Weld the blade and scaDtling,
Chips like driftlets fly and fall,
Wasteful litter one and all,
In fakes about the bantling.
Seventy springs their seeds have sown,
Still with knife and shingle,
The child. white haired grandsire grown
His life dream, his memory flown,
Sits whiting by the lngle.
Yet the past held busy years,
Works Of wondrous glitter,
But many a loss brought burning tears
And many gain regretful fears,
At best useless litter.
And 50 methoughtthe hopes and schemes
OF many worldly willing,
When all Is told, are idle dreams
That lure men on with golden beams.
Nero chips of mortal whiting.

OUTLOOK FOR THE FARMER.

The material prospects of Virginia were
probably never better than they are to-day.
Not only are its towns and cities growing
rapidly in wealth and population, not only
are its vast mineral resources being deyel-
oped with indefatigable energy, opening up
new territory and creating a thousand new
interests, but the outlook for every branch
OF agriculture has improved. The crops OF
corn, forage, and tobacco are abundant,
and, what is equally as satisfactory, are
selling on rising scale Of prices. The
farmers OF the State, who have passed
through period which has been stringent
enough TO bring them all to the very verge Of
bankruptcy, can now look forward with
new hope to the future, and this apart from
the excellence of, and the higher prices to
which they have on hand.
A brighter day has dawned for the agri-
cultural classes Of the whole country, Viz
ginia included, when a sufficient number Of
Republicans can be found in the Senate
who are prepared, in opposition 10 every ad-
verse influence, 10 vote in company with the
Democrats, 20 place one Of the most impOr-
tant articles in use among farmers in every
part OF the Union on the free list. The ris-
ing cry among the members Of the RepuDli-
can party in favor Of reciprocity, is but an
admission that the interests Of agriculture
must hereafter be consulted, even il
II involves the recognition Of principles
OF economic administration that are
really hostile TO the protective system
There is every indication that the Repuh'
lican party Of the Northern and Western
states is on the point of making the most
radical concessions 10 the agricultural
classes, and as the Democratic party has
always sought 20 promote in every way the
welfare OF those classes, this virtually
means that II cannot now be long before

WADE HAMPTON,

The announcement is made hOm south
Carolina that owing 10 the calmer and more
conclliatory state of feeling that has sprung
up between the two wings Of the Democratic
party in that Commonwealth, Senator Hamp-
tons prospects of reelection have grown
very much brighter. At the time that the
spirit Of hostility was most thoroughly
aroused between The two wings, it was Ia
city admitted that the success Of the Till
man movement, would signify the termlna-
gafg 5"rne' r3Timan1tcs' regarded with spe-
cial animosity this distinguished patriot
who has performed more inestimable
services in behalf Of his native state than
any OF her living sons.
The very last man in the borders Of south
Carolina who, it would have been supposed
under ordinary circumstances, would have
been singled out for political destruction by
his white iellow-citizens. would have been
Wade Hampton, whose name will be con-
spicuously associated with the history Of
the state in a way that should cOmmandthe
respectful gratitude Of South Carolinians to
the rem0test generations. 1t was Wade
Hampton who by his energy courage, elo-
quence, wisdom. and sclf-abnegation res
cucd the Palmetto state from the talons Of
the political yultures who were battening
on her yitals. 1t was he who restored her
to that proud place in the sisterhood Ct
states which she had occupied before she
had been forced TO drink Of the cup OF hui
initiation which adversely in arms had pre-
scented to her lips.
In certain sense, Wade Hampton is the
father Of his people, "A man not unworthy
to be compared with Washington in the
soundness of his judgment, the ripcness OF
his experience, the calmness Of his tenn
permanent, and the broadness of his patriot
ism. 1t seems almost parricidal in the
people of south Carolina 10 depOse this
great man from the position which he 0c-
cupies rs their representative and if they
should do so, the act would afliN a serious
stigma upon their reputation without de
minisling one iota, the exalted considera-
ton in which General Hampton is held by
the Southern people at large.

THE policy Of the Norfolk and Western
Railroad Company in retiring on full pay
the conductors who have served the com
pany faithfully for great length Of time
until practically disabled by the approach
Of old age, may well be initiated by every
public corporation that has occasion to EN-
ploy men in positions Of the highest re-
sponsibility, requiring force as we'll as
integrity Of character, not TO speak OF
trained intelligence for the adequate per
Torrance Of the duties imposed upon them.
Not only is this just reward for work well
done, but it constitutes a very honorable
stimulus TO all who are appointed to fiji
the vacancies created by the retirement of
their predecessors. The lives Of railroad
conductors are attended with a variety OF
personal risks, and it is, therefore, entirely
becoming that their corporate employers
should care for them in their old age, after
their withdrawal from a prolonged active
service, marked by an answering devotion
to duty, and an uninterrupted attention to
the interests IF the companies with which
they have been associated.
