The Mntron's Revenge.

Every age has its reyenges. and the married
woman OF thirty-fye TO forty may lay the

wear these rich and heavy materials. while the
Young person must content herself with flimsv
and slca2y tulles. GAUGES. crepOns, beugalines
and soft silks. Lace. too. Is another one of
the married woman's revenges. She may

CONVENTION ADVOCATED.
The amendments thus briefly suggested' in
addition 20 those demanded by the Organiza-
tons Of the farmers are intended more TO in
wife the attention of the Alliance of Virginia
TO the application to Congress for call OF
convention of the States than TO enlist any
popular sympathy I'm their fGvor-in other
words. TO emphasize the idea that evils exist,
and that "a convention is the surest
remedy for their removal. We have bad IN
the nineteenth century u bloody and de
siroying revolution" created by politicians.
Let the century end with preserving reVo-
luton" peaceful in its character and bench

tions Reforms which are for the benefit Of
the people should begin with the people.
and the Constitution itself sensible of that
necessity. has very wisely made provision for
the pOp0ular initiative of constitutional
amendments The fifth article of that
instrument gives the power of beginning
the reforms of itself TO the States IN their
Legislatures AS well as to the Federal Gov
enmentin its Congress; and there is the place
10 begin. aud before the people themselves IN

The adoption by the organizations of the
farmers of the call of a convention of the
States as a fundamental article Of their creed,
with the declaration that It's advocacy would
be demanded of all candidates for popular
favor seeking their support, would place the
call Of the convention beyond all doubt. The
politicians Of both the great political parties
seeing the handwriting on the wall would
recognize the necessity for approval and CO
operation. aud act accordingly. while the hon
est masses ofthepeople would hail in this great
movement Of deliyerance and liberty the
triunphs which can be followed by no re-
verses: the pacific triumphs of union over
sectionasm: of State rights over consolida-
ton: of intelligence over ignorance; of virtue
over corruption, and Of country over party.

One of Sheridan's Spies.
Editor Of The Times:

In the February number Of THE Home
Maker" Ga Northern magazine) there is an
article extolling commonplace Yankee spy
a Southern woman who served Phil Sheri-
dan in such capacity at Winchester during
the war. Now, has there not been enough OF
this sort of thing. and is the degraded service
of spy TO be commended simply because it
is necessary!
It is curious 10 find the "Home-Maker''
commencing the methods of the Home
destroyer" Phil Sheridan. the rough-riding
vandal, whose chosen weapon was the lighted
torch. and whose work in the Valley con-
sisted chiefly in destroying crops and houses
and in impoyerishing non-combatants.

clothing of light that is much warmer than

A Horse Thief and Penitentiary
Convict Acting as an
EVANGELIST.

The following is from the Richmond
Times of the oath of June -
"For six months or more the people
of Southwest Virginia, from Bedford
county TO Pulaski, have been greatly
annoyed by frequent losses of horses,
and it has been thought for some
time that a systematic band of thieves
were at work. Or Saturday night last
Mr.. John D. white, of Shawsville, Mont
gomery county, lost a fine horse. Mon
day being court day at Bedford City he
suspected the horse might be offered for
sale there and he took the train for that
place. While nearing Bedford City the
train passed nea- the road, and Mr.. White
thought he saw his horse ridden by a
man as the cars quickly shot by. When
he reached Bedford City he instituted a
search and found his horse, with saddle
and bride on tied under a shed adioin-
ing Speers' livery stable. Mr. White
with Speers entered into negotiations
with the man for the horse, and when he
had fully committed himself to the theft
Mr.. White presented a revolver to his
head and with the assistance OF Mr..
Speers captured him ano took him to
Jail Mr.. White carried him IN irons to
Christiansburg, the county seat of Mont
gomery, next day, where he was indicted
for the offense. The thief turned ont to
be Robert H. Hogan. who was convicted
lin Roanoke county in 1867 for horse
stealing and sent to the penitentiary for
six years. He was convicted again IN
Bedford county October 18th, 1873, on
the same charge and on various counts
was sent to the penitentiary for fifty-four
years. He served sixteen years of this
sertence, and for good behavior and
seeming reformation of character, backed
up by the petition of some of RichmOnd's
kind-hearted missionary ladies, he was
pardoned by Governor Lee. The circum-
stances 90 to show that Hogan has been
playing his old trade from the time OF
his release, and was the leader of pestlf-
erous gang of horse thieves.
The Times informant who was in Bed
ford City at the time of the arrest says
that Hogan has been preaching as an
evangelist throughout the counties named,
and held services at n country church in
Bedford county the day following tho
theft of the horse
Superintendent Moses, of the penten-
tIaiy Remembered Hogan we'll when asked
about him by Times reporter at the
prison last night, but declined to say any
thing about him inrther than to give the
reporter his prison record from the book
kept for that purpose, for the reason that
anything said about him now might
prejudice his trial surely to take place al
an early day"

For Over Fifty Years.

1t has been said that skillful advertising
will accomplish wonders, and this is part
ly true, for it IS no uncommon thing to
see various nostrums achieve brief notO-
riety in this way. But they do not out
last the notices that herald them. Thus
Il is that Tie mercurial and potash rene
dies are constantly appearing before the
public in new disguises. Advertising,
however, will not account for the popn-
larIfy that s. S. s. has enjoyed for fifty
years. nor for the fact that it has become
a household remedy nor will advertising
account for the thousands of testimonials
that the people have given In It's behalf.
Only the most substantial merit can ac-
count for the estimation 10 which this
wonderful medicine is held.
