and having discussed the weather, the
crops and the Farmers Alliance, they
fell upon domestic matters.

No incident in Disraelis career is
more pleasant than his offer of pen
sion and g. G. B. to Carlyle. A friend
of Sir William Fraser walked with
Carlyle for two hours on the day on
which Disraeli's letter arrived. Carlyle
described the letter being brought to
him by treasury messenger, the large
black seal, his wonder as to what the
official envelope could contain, and bis
great surprise on reading the offer con-
veyed in language of consumate tact
and delicacy. Carlyle said; ''The let
ter of Disraeli was flattering. generous
and magnanimous; his overlooking all
that have said and done against him
was great"
He added: THE accurate percep-
ton of merit in others is one of the
highest characteristics of fine intel
lect. should not have given Disraeli
credit for possessing it had it not been
brought home SO directly to me-" He
repeated the words generous" and
''nagnanimous" several times Dis

for it's tact and delicacy, is by no means
impeachable in grammar, for it con

THE FIRE FAKE.
How il Affected a Bright Salem W0m-

A prominent Salem lady, and wife
of one of our loading business men,
who was visiting at a city not many
hundred miles from Salem, writes
her husband as follows: "Phat fire
you had in Salem came pretty near
being the death of me, for had not
read farther than that the Bush
block was entirely consumed. l

start for home right straight. 1 said
Il must go home, and then when
the reaction took place-welI, you
know, tears are woman's only
saf9ty-valve. A man would have
resorted to profanity under similar
circumstances. 1 wanted to 'lick'
somebody, as the little boys say.

tional stories as the Daring d ~

FIRE AND WATER-The issue as
to adequate fire facilities is iinw
squarely between the city govern
ment and the Wafer Co The
JOURNAL is investigating the maI,er
to ascertain where the responsibility
for the defective hydrants lies.
When Mr.. Burgham WAS chief eli.
gin,er he made report to the city
council at the time the Water Go.
was laying its large main on State
street, favoring new hydrant connec
tions. The report was referred TO
the proper committee and that is all
that was ever done by the last cOun
Gil. 1t is the opinion of some mem
bers of the council that there is not
adequate pressure. The Water Co.
says there is. The next meeting of
the council should take steps to
settle this for the welfare and safety
of the city. If the city is response
ble for the care of the hydrants it
should be known.

Charity AIisapplietl.

The superintendent of a children's
charity institution remarked; "Ah,
there is one lady of fashion in this city
whose goodness of heart is certainly
without a parallel among her set.
can't tell you her name, because she
objects strongly to having her kind
deeds known. She is true Christian
at work, even If she does dance great
many nights away and own a fortunes
worth of diamonds.
Does the lady give lot of money
to the institutionT the superintendent
was asked.
"Oh, no." he replied, ''she doesn't
give money to u.s. but she labors for u.s.
She does indeed She cooks for us con-
tinually. Every day there are pies and
cakes and puddings sent in to the chill
dren from her, and have proof that
they are all made by the lady herself.
How she ever finds time for it all is
more than ] can explain. Only few
moments ago received here two dozen
custard pies, four suet puddings and
six sheets of sponge cake, with this
note saying that she had just baked
them all and hoped the children would
enjoy them"
"And they just will enjoy them,
won't they2" said the listener.
"Well, no." replied the superintend-
ent. you see, they won't eat them. !"

A STATE FAIR ESCAMPMEST.

Capt. Fiske Is working up plan
for a state encampment of I'd Regt.
o. N. G.. during the coming state
fair week. There is pending a prop
osition to the managers of the state
fair to offer prize for competetion
drill on that date. and Capt. Fiske
believes Il could he arranged to get
out the seven companies and make
1t a great feature Of the State Agri-
cultural society annual exhibition.
IL certainly would be an attraction
aud a drawing card i'm the opinion
of the JOURNAL and should
be given every encouragement. A
JOURNAL reporter saw several Of the
leading local military men and q
variety of opinions is expressed
Capt. Sherman favors it, but says
the Fair authorities should grant free
passes to the militia boys and the
expense of subsistence must be met
bv local subscription in some way.
1t would cost about 500 day. He
is opposed to paying this out of the
Regimental fund.
Another staff officer was inter
viewed and said: at will be very
difficult to get up an encampment
at the state fair. 1t will be a busy
time, there would be no way to get
any per diem. There are only five
companies In this county and Al
bany and Eugene could probably
each furnish a company"

A report in the Statesman con-
cerning the careless aud reckless

remove the harness, Price was hit cl-
ing the last tug when the safety
valve blew off steam and frightened
the team which made lunge for
the open 1oor aud but for tire quick
action of Mr.. Price in catching one
Of the horses by the bit and in 20
doing greatly endangering ais own

An Artistic Pamnhlat

The pamphlet illustrating and describ-
ing Staunton, written by Mr.. A. G. Cor
don and printed for the Staunton Devel-
opment Company by the South Publish
ing Company of New York, is perhaps
the finest and most beautiful publication
of its kind ever issued in the South il
not in the whole country. The work has
inst been completed, after having been
for several months in the hands of the
printers and engravers. 1t contains 70
which occupy each a whole page. The
Oh jActs Illustrated are general views of
the city from different points, public
buildings, churches, schools, business
blocks, residences and picturesque scenes
from nature at places near or connected
with Staunton. The originals of the
illustrations were photographs by Mr..
Edmund Berkeley of Staunton. Most of
them were reproduced in the pamphlet
by means of the photo-gravure process.
whose artistic results are perhaps the
most beautiful of all produced by the
many processes for illustrating books.
Apart from the illustrations, the read
ing matter of the pamphlet possesses de-
cided literary merit. The historical por>
tion of it is especially entertaining. Its
author, Mr. Gordon, is classed among the
best writer's in Virginia
The object of the Staunton Develops
ment Company in issuing this pamph-
let is of course to call the attention of
manufacturers and capitalists to the I'M
developed material wealth of Staunton
and its adjacent territory. The enor-
NOUS extent of this wealth is unques-
tionable, and the circulation of the
pamphlet, with other efforts. will doubt
less have the effect of bringing in much
capital for it's development.

Another Stone Bridge.

The street committee, Capt. John Nc
Quaide, was authorized by the City
Council, at it's meeting Tuesday night,
to contract with A. NJ. Valz for the con-
struction of a stone arched bridge over
Lewis creek near the southern end OF
New street. The work, which is to be
hurried to completion as rapidly rs pos
sible. will consist of about 2o5 cubic
yards of rubble masonry.
Mr. Valz will furnish all material and
lay the stone in cement for 5000 per
yard. According to estimates of Maj.
Mcmahon, a first-class authority on
stone work, the arched bridge to be con-
tracted for will be cheaper than 81 wooden
bridge on stone side walls, to say moth
ing of the greater durability of the
arched bridge.
The old wooden bridge that is to be
displaced fell down last week, making a
great hole near Burke's stable. The
banks caved in from the soaking of ex-
cessive rain.
