A remarkable state of things
exists out in Doddrldge county.
There are twenty-five or thirty of
the public schools of that county
which have no teachers. The sup
ply does not equal the demand. 1t
is stated by one of the local papers
that number of persons are ready
to pass an examination and take
the schools, but that the County
Superintendent declines to hold an
other examination, and so the school
houses must remain closed and the
children be deprived of the instruc-
tion that is due them.

Historians always stop to describe the
dying of Wolfe and Montcalm, the two
opposing commanders in the battle Of
Quebec. But their deaths were simply
heroic compared with the Christian
death Of Stonewall jackson.
About 80 on the day Of his death he
was told that he had about two hours to
live, and he answered feebly but firmly,
every good; it is all right"
A few mements before he died he
cried out in his delirium: "Order A. P.
Hill to prepare for action. Pass the in
fantry to the front rapidly. Tell Maj.
Hawks" = then stopped, leaving the sen.
tence unfinished.
Presently smilo of ineffable sweet
ness spread itself over his pale face and
then he said quietly and. with an ex
preston of relief: Let us cross over tbs
river and rest under the shade of the
trees" And then, without pain or ths
least struggle. his spirit passed. -Phi1a

Slug No. was n pretty good printer
and jolly fellow outside when the last
form had gone down. But he was a
southern man, and he couldn't, to save
his life, get rid of the dialect of the darby.
II doant know how it is he used to
say, "but yo' fellahs seem ter see sumpin'
berry sahprisin' about the way | talk"
The boys in the same alley used to have
a good deal of fun with No. and his
dialect, and one day they teased him SO
that. dropping sticlsful of agate type,
he turned upon the one nearest to him,
and raising both hands exclaimed:
81 cuss yo'l | cuss vol cuss yo' till
de hoodoo gifts yo'r'
That was all very funny for the boys,
but the strange part came three weeks
later, when the one who had been
"cussed'' was discharged for cause. He
"subbed" around for n couple of days
after that, but couldn't find work again
1t looked as If the hoodoo had caught
him.
Slug No. 4 was treated very respect
fully after that. Somehow the boys
didn't like thit hoodoo business. 1t was
