Campbell, it is reported, will be defended by
Mr.. Walter Moon of Fairfax Court House, a
bright and very popular man here, John.
Goode, who defended Hams at Norfolk, and 1t
is thought that some of the local talent will be
employed also. The commonwealth attorney,
Mr.. Jas. ". Lore, will be assisted by Mr.. John
son of Alexandria
The plea Of the defense will be self-defense
In opposition 10 this claim the prosecution will
contend that Hill was shot by the second fire,
when he had retreated by actual measurement
eleven and one-hah feet and apparently when
his movement was stopped by coming in con-
tact with fence along the street
An effort will be made to obtain from Judge
Chichester, holding court now at Alexandria.

Sci will undertake to show that he shot in self
defense and strengthen the plea with the state

One WOman's Ingenious Scheme.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The boy in the second fat has friends and he
and his friends make so much noise that they
keep the baby in the first fiat awake. Consc-
quently the mother OF the baby in the first
fiat made complaint to the people in the second
fiat, and, that availing nothing, studied deeply
to devise some way OF stopping the racket.
And Us she debated with herself there was n
rattle above her head some ono rang the
door bell OF the second HAT, and, looking up.
she saw that the door bell wire ran through the
corner of the room she WAS In. There was q
look Of triumph on her face as she got out a
cane with curved handle aud sat down to
await Developments.
The next time that the boy above tried to
jump over the dining room table she hooked
the cane on the wire and gave it Jerk. The
noIce ceased and some man came down to the
door. There was evidently consultation when
he went back and it was fully ton minutes be-
fore the boy aud bis friends started in for q

woman in the fiat below gave the cane another
jerk and there was another trip to the door.

again and waited just inside the door, while
the others took positions ut the top OF the stairs

The little woman in the fiat below promptly

open and chased boy who happened to DO

again.

Remarkable Conceptions of Beauty.

From the Yankee Blade.
1t is remarkable to learn the extraordinary
ideas Of female beauty which characterize
different nations. The ladies Of Arabia stain
their fingers and toes red, their eyebrows
black and their lips blue. In Persia they paint
black streak around their ewes and orna-
ment their faces with represent nations of various
figures.
The Japanese women adopt the singular
method of gliding their teeth. and those Of
the Indians paint them red In some parts of
India the pearl of the tooth must be dyed
black before woman can be beautiful. The
Hottentot women paint the entire body in
compartments Of red and black. In Green
land the women color their faces with blue
and yellow, and frequently tattoo their
bodies by saturating threads in SCOT, insert

In New Holland the women cut Themselves

the record shows more than a thousand

good one for business anyway"
The Globes attempt at explanation
is weak in the extreme. There is one
potent cause, and it is a crime to deny
it. Our great business is based upon
the narrow gold standard, the gold
itself being at the mercy of the money
manlpulators. Our business structure
is an inverted cone of most unstable
equilibrium; it is an enforced credit
business whose stability no one can
judge, and bankruptcy and failure are
the inevitable consequence.
1t has been so ever since the oddities
got possession of the currency, and #
must continue to be so. Each has
rolled up its increased number of fai'-
ures, until the last year, the year when
great crops were to bring pros.

New York, Wall street andt New
England will reject this PLATFORM and
will struggle desperately to defeat it
that they may thereby hold their iron
grasp on the threats of the indus trial

J.P. Caldwell, a member of the State

Convention was called earlier than
usual to take action "before Col Polk
could get in his fine work" The friends
of reform, all over the State, will take
due notice and govern themselves ac-
cordingly, and propose at once to see
that they are fully and fairly repre-
sented in that convention. The people,

We call special attention to the
new advertisement of the Durham
Fertilizer Company in this issue. This
company is a home concern and has
shown itself worthy of the patronage
of u farmers by fair dealing and an
extra quality of goods at low prices.
Read the advertisement for further
particulars.
~ The people are rushing together
all over the country and holding meet
ings to ratify the platform and action
of the st. Louis Convention. A big
mass-meeting was held in Atlanta last
Monday night. A State mass-meeting
will be held 1 Lansing, Mich, on the
goth. In Clark county, Ill, thirty
mass meetings were held last week,
and so it goes.
We publish the st. Louis plat
form in official form. Let every man
read and study it carefully. 1t is the
same glorious old Alliance doctrine
that we have had before the country
all the time. Bro. S. B. Alexander, in
another column, says it is all right,
and so will the friends of the people
say, all over the land, when the day
comes to speak.
What is the use Of an agricultu-
raj paper to teach the people how to
raise more lotion, corn, wheat, tobacco
or fine horses, hogs, sheep or cattle
while the prices for these things are
below actual cost? If an agricultural
paper cannot do anything else it would
be more useful if it should urge the
people to raise less. Reform should be
the motto of every agricultural paper.
~ We note that several of the dele
gates to the St. Louis Conference, and
some of them members of the platform
committee, say that it is an error to
put the pension clause in the platform
it was recommended by the
committee only as a resolution and is
not a part of the platform. The Ma
tiOnGl Economist and other papers
publish the platform with the correc-
ton as above.
