the marked characteristics Of the paper,
to which no other daily Journal now
published can furnish q parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part OF the paper.
It is well established fact, demonstrated 10
the full satisfaction of the ssgacious and enter
prising business men of Washington, who seek
and know where to find THE LARGEST

Response by b. f. HARRISON to the
Toast, sour Host.v

To the beloved Craft this verse dedicate,
The remembrance OF this Banquet to per-
petuate:
The soul Of my muse loves dearly to tell
How pleasant for brethren IN unity to
dwell.
The story OF the Patriarch, of whom we
have read,
How the precious ointment poured down
his beard
To the skirts of his garments it even ran
down
A theme to our hearts so sweet and pro-
found.
Our honor is pledged on the Scriptures of
old
From darkness to light, their grandeur be-
hold.
Here we meet on the Level, all in one
cause,
Blending our thoughts in communion of
laws;
Here we act on the Plumb, in which all
share,
And part on symbol, the symbolic
Square.
SO may we meet, and so may we act,
And so may we part in sincerity and fact.
With Faith, Hope and Charity, cemented
with Love
Let our works bo as pure as the innocent
dove;
And tho faith lost in sight may disturb
our condition,
And hopes brilliant charms cad in frui-
ton,
Let our giIidon be the flag Of Charity I'M
furled,
Trusting to triumph in eternity's world
Who're all good Masons hope at last to
meet,
In the City of our God around the Mercy
Seat.
May every moral and social virtue bind
and unite,
And every, assembly give us more light;
May wisdom, may strength, and may
beauty,
Bind us together faithful in duty
To help the distressed, the brother in grief,
To bring to the orphan and widow relief.
And as l conclude and respond to the
toast,
Let us drink to the health of Trussell, our
host.
Long may he live, with the comforts of
health,
Happiness, contentment, and plenteous
wealth.
And now for feast, convivial with Joke,
Let us light our cigars, be merry, and
smoke;
With our stomachs well filled, our appe-
titles fed,
May most happy dreams enehant us in
bed
May God grant His favor on this my hum
. bic lore,
And bless us all as Masons for life and
eVermore.

On Tuesday morning last, Mrs. A.
J. Ridgeway, who resides near Rest,
Va, died suddenly of heart disease
in the 54th year of her age. About
4 o'clock Mr.. Ridgeway was awaken
ed by his wife moving in the bed,
and thinking that she was about to
get up, he made some remark to the
effect that it was too early, but re-
ceiving no answer he arose and dis
covered that she was in dying con
dition. In few moments she was
dead. A husband, four sons, and
five daughters mourn her loss. She
had been in excellent health up until
the time of her death and the sudden
ness with which the giant foe made
his appearance has cast shadow
not only over the immediate house.
hold but over the entire community.
Mrs. Ridgeway was an estimable
lady and was held in high esteem by
the entire community. Her remains
were inferred on Thursday morning
at 10 o'clock at Payne's Chapel.

open a safe containing nothing valua.

They then set fire to the building,
which burned to the ground.

THE LEGTSLAT URE.

Since our last issue. the legisla-
ture has been almost exclusively oc-
cupied, with the argument of coun-
sci, and of members of the commit
tee, on the gubernatorial contest.
Very able speeches have been made
on both sides, and partisan politics
have been thoroughly stirred up
from its lowest depths. Now. let
the members take the testimony and
the law and give at least twenty-four
hours in considering the same, and
then express an individual, conscien-
tious judgment thereon-a Judgment
that will stand the crucible of inves-
tigation, and that will do exact JUS
tice upon the merits, and not the
politics of the controversy. Is it
possible, in these times, to look to
the welfare of the State, and not OF
party?
