Jackson UnreiIing.

A meeting of ex-Confederate soldiers o
Jefferson county, for the purpose of taking
action in regard to attending the unwilling
of the Stonewall Jackson monument, al
Lexington, Va, July Dist, was held at the
courthouse in this place on Friday evening
last. Rev. DR.. A. c. Hopkins was called to
the chair, and c. Frank Gallaher appointed
secretary.
A communication from the Travelling
Passenger Agent of the B. & o. R. R., in
response to a letter of inquiry from the edi-
tor of the Spirit Of Jefferson, was read, stat
ing that Confederate veterans viii be taken
to Lexington in a party of twenty-five OF
more on one ticket Tor one cent per mile
each way; citizens one fare for the round
trip This will make the fare to veterans
on one ticket SS.04, and to citizens on sepa-
rate tickets S455.
A motion was offered and adopted that
Messrs. Cleon Moore, G. Horace Gallaher
and S. c. Young be appointed committee
to canvass and ascertain who and how many
would 60 to Lexington, and that all persons
who intend going would report their names
to some member of this committee; also
that such as desire to go on the low rate
offered on one ticket should leave the amount
of fare $500 with seme member of this
committee on or before the 18th instant.
Messrs. Geo. W. Haines, J. G. Holmes
and J. n. Sadler were appointed commit
tee to raise funds and make arrangements
for taking the Charlestown Cornet Band
along with the excursion.

had made arrangements TO have badges
printed, and that those who would go could
secure them, he thought, at about 80 cts.
each.
Col. r. P. Chew was chosen to command
the Jefferson contingent who would embark
from here.

The concert at Washington Hall OH Tues
day night by the Gruber Family-father,
mother, three sons and four daughters-was
very delightful one. There were some
unique performances by the pater on a
three hundred and sixty year-old violin,
and other instruments. At one time he
stood on one foot and played nine instru-
ments. The eldest daughter presided grace
fully at the piano. The three-year-old
daughter is a marvel of sweetness and a
musical prodigy, and was, prominently,
the charming feature of the entertain
ment. Another performance tonight, and
whoever goes will be pleased.

Rev. Dallas Tucker and five other persons
narrowly escaped serious injury last Sunday
afternoon. They were returning from SER
vice at the Episcopal mountain mission on
the east side of the Shenandoah, when,
whilst coming down the mountain, the
breeching of the harness of Mr.. fuckers
horse gave way. Mr.. T. jumped out to stop
the animal, when he fell and was dragged a
short distance by the lines, being severely
bruised. Fortunately for him, the lines be-
came detached, and the horse, with Misses
Kate Riddle, Bessie Green and Katie Ais
ouith in the vehicle, ran on down the noun
tain, oyertaking buggy in which were Mr..
T. c. Green and wife, This vehicle was
struck and overturned, and its occupants
thrown out. At the same time Mr.. fuckers
horse became detached from his vehicle
Mr.. Green's horse, fortunately, did not run,
Hence no one of the party was seriously In

From dte Spirit
On Saturday last July lth, about o'clock
in the afternoon, JEANNE KEYEs AMBLER, wife
of John A. Washington, Esq, departed this
life after a severe illness of many months du-
ration. To say that hers was a Christian char
acter would barely dojustice to her pure and
guileless life. The record Of such q character
should be fully elaborated, that the soft infiu-
ence ofits virtue and grace may be more wide
spread. She was a Christian in its loftiest
sense, q woman of the highest and most exalt-
ed type Endowed with a strong mind, she
also possessed that finest Of natures gifts, a
heart whose only limit for love was measured
by the wide extent of human calamity As in
health she was lovely and beloved, so in sick
ness she was considerate, patient and resigned.
In her death was exhibited the grandeur of the
Christians hope and the glory Of the Chris
tian's life
Tell me not that death has conquered
Such life as hers, departed.
II is true the grave has claimed her,
Leaving loved ones broken-hearted.
But for lives so full of beauty,
Spirits rare and pure as hers,
IT'S not death, but only resting,
Resting till the morn appears.
Such life was hers, that virtues
Seemed to blossom where she came;
Full of love and kind compassion,
Earnest, honest free from blame.
As the stars are flowers of heaven,
So was she flower of earth,
And tho culled, perhaps too early,
Memory gamers all its worth.
Carriers what will teach the living
How divine life may be,
How sincere and true and tender,
How from all but virtue free.

CITY and Country.

The city person, it is well known, il
often as much ''greenhorn" in the
country as the country person is - the
city. A girl who had been accustomed
to certain city squares and exclusive
parks, whose high barred gates were
closed at fixed hour every night, made
her first visit to the country. She wa;
being taken about through the lanes and
fields by her mother when the sun set.
"Ssy, mamma" said the little girl
'haven't we got to go in? What time
do they close the country, anyway"
1t was city boy, too, who, wher
taken with him by his country cousin
while he dug some potatoes, watched the
process of unearthing ths tubers for q
moment with great wonder and then re
marked:
''Is that where you keep your potatoes:
l should think it would be more con-
venient TO keep them in barrels, the way
we do"
The Country greenhorn" in the city
has this advantage over the city green
horn" in the country, that he does not
put on airs of superiority on all occa-
sions. It was city boy in the country
who, being taken to peach tree full Of
ripe and delicious fruit, and invited to
help himself, remarked somewhat loftily

Some Attractive and New Decorative
Work in Crochet and Fine Linen.

Work in Crochet and Fine Linen.
Every one likes some work which takes
up little space till it is nearly completed,
and which can be done in small install
ments. A beautiful quilt may be made
nowadays of alternate squares oflinen and
fine crochet, which is once more coming to
the fore as an occupation for women
Some of these crochet patterns resemble
old guipure and Venetian laces, and,
though they require some amount of pa
thence and perseverance till the pattern is
learned, they can afterward be executed
with as much ease as the simpler and more
commonplace designs. For the linen
squares it is good plan to use some OF
the delicate cambria or linen doilies that
are sold ready finished with hemstitched
edges and with pretty design traced in
the middle. They may be worked with
washing floselles or with the finer makes
of fax thread. Shades OF gold on white
are the favorites just now, and certainly
they are extremely restful to the sight aft
er the eternal reds and navy blues which
were at one time considered the only really
ingram colors. 1t is not difficult to find
a crochet lace for these bedspreads which
will correspond with the squares.
A good deal Of ingenuity is shown in
enriching crochet or machine made squares
by working them over more or less closely
with colored silks, gold braid and tinsel,
thus transforming them into rich looking
trimmings for wall pockets, table centers,
sachets, pincushions and a hundred and
more fancy articles. This work affords a
capital opportunity of using up those odd
needlefuls of silk which are of so little use
and yet are boarded up as being too good
to throw away.

/ scented still another revival" not long
since when l went into fashionable hair
dresser's to have my bangs trimmed. 1t
seems that powder and patches and white
hair have struck the feminine fancy. 1t
began by elderly ladies ceasing to dye
their gray locks. 1t was declared that not
only were silver threads among the gold
becoming, but that they lent an additional
look of youthfulness. Then the effect of
powdered hair above bright eyes and a
girlish face was found to be so piquant
that the complexion artists and hairdress-
ers were importuned to- invent sonnet hing
to make the piquancy permanent. AS yet
they have not succeeded. 1t is possible
to bleach the hair white. To be sure it
is very expensive and deadly injurious, but
it is effective White hair, however, is not
SO becoming as silver gray, and when that
is demanded the ''artist" recommends ma
dame to shave her dark locks and buy one of
the new skeleton wigs, and if you will be-
lieve it, the advice is generally followed,
but then it is not as bad as bleaching. The
wig is SO light and so well ventilated that
when the within for gray hair is succeeded
by something else, madame's own hair,
short, of course, is on her head ready to
begin new life.

are artists. The government encourages
the industry in France to the extent Of
growing great beds of choice flowers, and
allowing specimens to be carried home for
models. Any worker in flowers is allowed
to pick a blossom for the purpose of study
