ANCIENT RECORDS or TIE srArE.


A few days ago we referred to the bill which
will be brought before the General Assembly
during the present session. for the purpose of
obtaining an appropriation for the copying of
the records of Northampton county. which
go back TO the year 1892. We find in the last
number Of the Eastern Shore Herald a letter
from President Tyler Of William and Mary
College, one Of the best informed historical
scholars in the State which has an important
bearing on this point.
President Tyler. having been appointed
by the County Court of York TO supervise the
binding Of its records, has extended his inte-
rest to the preservation of all our similar
records In his letter to the Herald he gives
an outline of plan for effectng this object
II is to appoint commission Of three or
more persons. whose duty it shall be TO
have all the county record books that ante
date 1775 bound and repaired at the expense
of the State, and also to have all the county
records of date previous to 1900 copied and
the copies deposited in the State Capitol
where they can be conveniently consulted
President Tyler proposes to limit the copy
ing to the year 100 IN order to diminish the
expense as far possible. The number Of
books that 90 back beyond 1900 is in the neigh
borhood of sixty, averaging about $50 pages to
the book. The general cost Of copying. re-
pairing and removing this invaluable mass of
records would not exceed $1,000 small
amount when the importance of the object TO
be gained is taken into consideration.
Under the provipions Of the plan suggested
by President Tyler. which il we understand
rightly will be embodied in bill to be brought
before the Legislature, the objection which
was urged when it was proposed to transfer
all the original records of date prior to 17OO
TO Richmond will be entirely removed. This
objection was that the pride of the people of
the different counties where these records
were was concerned in the retention of them
in their present places of deposit. The peo-
pie were wholly unwilling to part with their
ancient muniments.
The principle involved in the plan outlined
by President Tyler covers the ground Of the
bill which relates to the copying of the
records of northampton county alone. II
this plan is brought 10 the attention OF the
Legislature in the form of bill and becomes
law it will include the copying of these re
cords. 1t goes without saving that as the OBJ
ject to be accomplished by this plan is
broader than that of the proposed bill re-
lating to the northampton records more good
will be effected by It's being carried ont Indeed
If this plan should be carried out, all instead
of few of the Oldest records in the State
will be placed where it will be possible for
historical scholars to consult them without
inconvenience. Their preservation in their
copied forms will be assured and this fact
will grow more and more important with the
progress OF time.

arriyes-to deliberate upon whom they shall
confer the honor Of nomination.
Nv all means let caucus be held. and let IL
be held not in q corner of the chamber OF other
house. but in the largest hall which can be
found in the city. for room ought to be pro-
yided for the different Republican ghosts, who
in the past have moved about the halls of our
State Legislature in the flesh. insoient ana
audacious, in tho consciousness OF the MAJOR
ity behind them. 1t is TO this extremity that
the Republican party Of Virginia mas come.
The party that elected United States senator's
filed the State Offices. appointed the judici-
airy, has now contracted itself 30 far as legis-
lative power is concerned, into three votes
number which will confer ridcule rather than
distinction upon any man for whom they may
be cast in opposition to John w. Daniel.
If Messrs Peery. Sowder and Gose will nc
cept suggestion from TIE Times, when
has a very sincere COMMUNICATION for the
situation in which they are placed, they will
sink their party feelings and support the
representative Virginian who has so worthIy
filed the position which he now occupies and
to which he is seeking reelection. There
is no glory in the character of the Spartan
band which they may be tempted to play
either by feeling of mistaken loyalty TO
their party OF by a not unnatural regard for
the dispensing power that is seated in the
White House at Washington. Hold caucus
by oil means, just for an object lesson If for no
other reason, but defy the warnings OF the
surrounding ghosts, both white and black. by
solemnly concurring in the conclusion that
tho time has arrived under the new order Of
things when Virginia presents TO the sufrages
OF her Legislators a man so distinguished for
his talents and so pre-eminent in usefulness
that the members OF al parties in both houses
should unite as one man in his support.
Messrs. Peery, Sowder and Gose have one
week to think over our suggestion in all its
bearings. Let them think carefully and dispas-
sionately, for the moro carefully and dispas-
sionately they think. the firmer is our conyic-
ton that they will adopt our advice as just
and sound.

On Tuesday next the two houses of the
General Assembly will proceed to the election
of United States senator and there is an alb
solute certainty that Hon. John w. Daniel
will be retained in the position which he has

much credit to the State. The Republican
vote in opposition will be 80 small that it is

THEORIES.

Detroit Free Press.
Once upon midnight dreary
detective formed theory
That man was being murdered in the street a
block below;
He could hear him loudly calling
As the wicked blows were falling
And his keen detective instinct told him all he
wished to know.
BY the sound IDS ears detected
That the blow must be directed
BY man of blonde complexion, with a blue and
gentle eye,
And with legs little banded;
Either right or else left handed,
And between four feet six inches and six feet
four inches high.
So he calmly sat and waited
Till the noise had all abated,
The he strOlled at leisure down the street the
corpse to note.
There he met with Mrs. Leary,
Who herself had formed theory.
For she saw the fight between O'DOOley's dog
and Grady goat.

In case they should become destitute, and
the same obligation IL incurred by the wife
In regard to the father and mother of her
husband. When, however. this enactment
was inscribed in the code the practice OF
divorce did not form part OF French law,
and this fact has given rise recently to 3
very curious suit.
A husband who was divorced some time
ago was much surprised to receive sum
mons from his ex-mother.in-law to pay the
usual installment Of the alirnony which hs
had allowed her during his married life.
OF course the young man argued that rs
the law had rid him of his wife equity
would scarcely force him to support his
mother-in-law. The Paris court. however,
informed the defendant that. equity or no
equity. the code was unmiStakable, and
that he would have TO pay the money He
demurred, naturally, ut such farcical de-
cision. and appealed to the court Of cassa-
ton. which invalidated the finding Of the
