An easv vav to spoil the evening

An easy way to spoil the evening
meals is for each member to tell the
sad tale Of all that has gone wrong
during the day. To mention the
disappointments and vexations, to
tell of the Sights that were endured
and offenses that were given, and to
lament over the results of this in
felicitous combinations of affairs. is
enough to counterfeit the refreshing
effect of all the good things with
which the most generous and skill
full housewife can load the table.
Better put this complaining off until
some other time. What is the best
time for it is hard to say. Perhaps
an indefinite postponement would
be happy thing for all concerned.
Halt the things that we groan ov-
err tonight will right themselves
tomorrow night, if We let them
alone.

An amusing scene happened in
the Sullivan county IN. W court
house the other day. The wife OF
one of the parties to a suit was on the
witness stand and had intrusted her
baby to the care of another woman,
who was tending it below The
child became restless after awhile
and announced its desire to see its
mother in notes of unmistakable
pathos, which might be traced to
hunger. After trying in vain to
quiet the child the woman came up
the stairs and into court, the baby
all the time yelling at the top of its
lungs. Judge Thornton jumped up
and cried: take that child out
of court The woman addressed
needed not the command, but con-
tinued to advance, and, holding the
youngster out to its mother over the
head of a prominent lawyer, ex-
claimed, with fire flashing from her
eye: Court or no court, this
child has got to be attended to-

THE FUTURE OF DEMOCRACY.
Henry watterson in Frank Leslie's Weekly.

Henry Watterson in Frank Leslie's Weekly.
The Democratic party has outlived
its tollies. 1t is the only party that
has not one law for the North and
another for the South. Hence it is
the only national party. 1t puts the
people of Maine and Texas, Massa-
chusetts and South Carolina in the
same boat, countrymen, fellow-citi-
zens, all. 1t makes no sectional
distinctions. Its face is set for
ward, not backward. Its one adj
ministration in a quarter of cen"
fury was a great advance toward
the unifcation of the people, and in
the work of clean and orderly
transaction of the public business.
Its claim to popular confidence is
based upon its national character
anG conservative tendencies, and
upon the personality OF a body of
decent, upright and enlightened
leaders. 1t is in harmony with the
drift of modern thought and the
necessities of the country and the
age. It's return to power will be
the signal for the end Of experiment
tai politics, and the end of special
legislation and class distinction, the
end, in short, of the combine of Sec
tionalism and plumber, inevitable to
the nature and construction OF the
Republican party.

A kind-hearted New Yorkt

A kind-hearted New Yorker
while visiting Auburn prison became
much interested in convict there,
whom he provided with employment
after his release from the penitenti-
airy. The ex-convict showed his
gratitude by forging twenty-eight
checks in his benefactor's name. 1t
is the old story of the man who took
compassion on a frozen snake, and
bringing him into the house, restor-
ed him to life, when the snake turn
ed and bit him.-Savannah News.
Oh, yes, there are instances OF
such ingratitude in every day life,
where the migrate had not been a
convict, but who walk the streets,
speak pleasantly to your face, and
then blast with SANDER your good
name behind your back.

THE NIBBLER,

The country swarms with nib
blers, and grocerymen are beginning
to look around in an effort to dis
cover something that will put stop
to a practice that cost them many
dollars in the course of year. An
old dealer informs us that the most
aggravating feature of the nibbling
practice is that the majority of the
nibblers are not regular customers,
the profits on whose trade might
palliate an occasional taking of bit
of this or bit OF that without pay
ment, but generally some spasmodic
purchaser who, buying some article
of small value, yielding a trifling
profit, will scoop up a handful of
prunes, crackers, figs, or dates
more than enough to take off the
profit of his purchase. If people
who are guilty of this unmannerly
impertinence would stop moment
to consider, they would admit that
their wrong doing is as actual as
though they took a nickle or a dime
out of the grocer's till. These peo-
pie act in grocery store in & man
ner to make the observant wayfarer
think that they were brought up in
a saloon, where they became accus-
toned to the practice of nibbllng,

cry and Coleman insisted that ]

The owner Of this still is brother

twinkled mischievously as he urged
me to stop and meet my brother

We found brother Pickett hard at
work, his shirt collar unbuttoned
and his sleeves rolled up, vigorously
stirring the "sour mash; but he
stopped his work and showed me
through the mill, explaining every
thing about the modus operandi of
whiskey making. He gave us
kind invitation to spend the day

The Louisville and Nashville, the
lessee of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad, will proceed to double
track the road as soon as the new
lease goes into effect. Already the
State Road has forty eight miles OF
sidetrack. 1t will be matter OF
but little outlay beyond what has
been expended to double-track the
entire 1873 miles, of the famous and
valuable State line. Mr.. Cargyle,
of the Louisville and Nashville,
says the road would certainly be
double tracked. All the bridges now
in use, will be taken out in the
near future, and bridges capable of
supporting the business of double
tracked railroad viii be put in.

IMMIGRATION TO VIRGINIA.

The legislature adjourned yesterday
after brief session. Many important
things were left undone, and ifmore at
tention had been paid to raadiust-
ulent Of the finances Of the state, the
commonwealth would have been great
" benefited. Politics seem to DO the
mostimportant question engaging the
attention Of Our Solons, however, but
immigration is something which de-
mands their serious consideration. The
splendid resources oftha Old Dominion,
both mineral and agricultural, if pro-
psrly made known to other countries
would draw strangers here from all
parts OF the world. D..
The climate cannot be surpassed,
and here in Southwest Virginia, besides
the most magnificent agricultural re-
sources, there are mineral possibilities
which promise to produce the most
b=aefceut results. Iron, coal, zinc,
manganese and other minerals are
easily ootainable, and in addition to
these are marble, slate and building
stones in inexhaustible quantities.
A country blessed with such resources
ought to attracs people from all quar-
ters of the globe, and if our legislature
would use the proper xertion., they
would soon have them coming here by
thousands and tens of thousands, in
stead of going towards the West where

PAYNE WANTS A DIVORCE.
A Husband Sues for Separation
on the Ground of Impotence

A Husband Sues for a Separation
on the Ground of Impotence.
Judge Hooker had another divorce
case before him yesterday. 1t was one
of the most peculiar. and at the same
time most disgusting, that has been
heard in the district court for some time.
But the odoriferous details did not pre-
vent seven women from being present.
both as witnesses and spectators. f.
a. Summer was one of the attorneys,
and a stenographic report of the trial
would be made up principally of the
tiny deah boys that fell from the
blonde mustache of the statuesque.
The Plaintiff was George w. Payne,
q medium-siZed man. with long yell
low mustache, retreating forehead
and a glittering eye, and the
defendant was Emma NJ. Payne,
a slender little woman with a
decisive looking face. They were mar
ried in 1885, and recently Payne sued
for divorce on the ground that Mrs.
Payne Is physically incapacitated tor
marital relations. She brought a
counter action for limited divorce, al
leging cruel and inhuman treatment.
Mrs. Payne, OH the stand. admitted that
she was barren, but denied the other
charge. She said that before marriage
she had had a surgical operation per-
formed, which removed the physical
disability alleged by her husband to
exist. Then there was a whole lot of
professional testimony, details of nu-
merous squabbles between the parties
to the suit. both before and after mar
rage, accusations that had been made
by Payne before he and his wife be-
came one, and many more questions
and answers which were unfit for pub
LEGATION. Then, because of the absence
of certain letter needed as evidence,
the case was continued until O'Clock
this morning.
