Some Bright School Girls.

If there is such thing in existence
as a school-teacheEs note book con-
tanning the unintentionally funny say
ings of children, the melancholy man
would do well to borrow it for the.
solace of his duller hours. The remark
of a little girl, that ,'the earth is. round
like an apple, and the North Pole
sticks out of the top and makes the
STEM" should doubtless be included
among its gems, together with the fol-;
lowing anccdote, told by an old school
teacher, in the San Francisco E1ana-
Sner:
When I was country pedagogue in
the State of Maine, i was one day hear
ing my class in spelling, and gave out
the word '.cuticle" TO a.big red-haired
girl, Slowly she drawled out:
ecu, GU. III, cuti. c-l-e.. ca-iicE-le."
corrected her pronunciation, and
asked her to define the word. She
looked about blankly. as If in search
for something to spur her memory,
aud, after moment or two of silence,
/ said:
"Why, what Is 1t that covers your
hands and facet
She looked quietly a. esah hand, and
her face frightened.
ooh, yes, she replied. ''frcckles!''

HON. S. j. RANDALLDEAD

He Passes Peacefully Away at His
Washington Home.
WASHINGTON, Special. 1t was sad and
touching scene at the Randall residence on
Capitol hill when Congressman Samuel J.
Randall expired this morning, just as the
bells of neighboring church were tolling
5 o'clock Mr.. Randall's death was pain
less and he was unconscious during the
greater part of his last hours. There were
intervals when, from the intelligent and
steady gaze which he directed at those
about him, he must have been conscious,
but he seemed unable to speak, and the
word Mother was the only one he
uttered for hours preceding his death.
Samuel jackson Randall was one of the many
DISTINGUISHED sons of Pennsylvania. He was
born in Philadelphia, Oct. 10, 1928, the son of
an eminent lawyer of that city. His mothers
maiden name had been Ann Worral, and she
was the daughter of James Worrall, a Demo
cratic leader in the days of Jefferson, SO that
the eX-speaSSE may be said to have been tradi-
tonally a Democrat as web as by conviction
member of that time-honored party. By mar
riage, Mr. Randall was connected with New
York State, his wife being q daughter OF Gen.
Aaron Ward, of Sing Sing. His first position
In public life was as a member Of the city
council of Philadelphia, wherein he showed
marked ability and was soon transferred
to the senate OF his native state. The beginning
prompted Mr.. Randall to patriotic military
service IN the Light Horse of Philadelphia. His
service under Gen. George H. Thomas for ninety
days, and under the command OF Gen. Robert
Patterson followed, leading to his promotion
first as quartermaster of his company and then
as cornet, rank corresponding to that OF
captain i'll the regular army. In the terrible
year 1868, Cornet Randall was among the
troops advanced to Harrisburg as the result of
Gen. Lees invasion of Northern territory.
When Gen. Couch announced to Cornet
Randall, commanding, that Gov Curtin
would accept the active services of
his troops without swearing it's members, he
said: II know we can trust to the honor of
the corps without any OATH" In the summer
of the same year the eornet made q brilliant re-
conuaissance, in which he captured several
prisoners and established the presence OF the

Market House.

4gddt0r VtrginiGn:
Sir-Knowing your broad views in relation
to improvements OF your city, and your fair
dealing between the city and the people of all
parts of the county, we feel at liberty to ap-
proach you upon subject Of a very needed i'm
provement to both city and county. That is a
commodious Market House as an appendage to
the many other improvements now in progress,
and will give you our reasons from a county
standpoint.
In the FIRST place, we have for number of
years favored market house, but now more
especially. since the city of Staunton has almost
given the street car company absolute control
Of the streets, and by an ordinance limited the
time in which county wagon can stop upon the
streets to very few minutes.
We would not have it understood that we have
any objections to-the street cars, or anything
else that would build up and improve your city
In this our interests are mutual. The building
up of the city, the increase of industries and
and products in the same ratio that the popula-
tion increases in the city. But we do claim that
the street car Improvement necessitates the
building OF q market-house.
From time as far back as the recollection Of
the Oldest inhabitants up to the present time, it
has been the custom OF the wives and daughters
of the farmers, or smaller boys of the farm, to
market very much of the product OF the same.
This process of marketing, is now being, and
finally will have to be abandoned, owing to the
unfortunate narrowness OF the streets, and the
ordinance prescribing the limit of time in which
they are allowed to stop, thus depriying many
OF the people of their only means of marketing.
We saw county lady offering to sell fine ap-
pies In Rodgers wagon yard at 20 cents per
bushel, and when asked why she offered them SO
Cheap, the reply was, that she was not allowed
to let her wagon stand at one place ON the
street long enough to get buyers" Such
per peck. If country people cannot get better
show, they will be compelled to seek a market
elsewhere.
Apart from the restrictions of your Council,
owing to the amount of business done ON your
principal streets by wagons, carts, drays, the
pleasure traved, &C., it would not be aafe for Ia
dies or boys to step upon the streets if there
were no restrictions at all.
We hope that the councilman will give this
matter q wise consideration and see that the
products Of our farms are not debarred from the
market of your city.
As for the convenience of a market-house for
the city, it does appear, that If all the varieties
of production from the country consumed by
the citizens of the city were concentrated in one
place, that it would be a great convenience to
the consumer as We'll as the producer. In this
matter, let Staunton be the Judge.
But we from the country. having been driven
from our market places by the street cars, cry
aloud and will spare not until we get another.
