HON. II. r. GRADY IN VIRGINIA.
Great Political Demonstration at
Lynchburg Last Night.

By Telegraph to the State Chronicle.
LYNCHBURG, Va, Sept. 20.-An i'm
mense gathering of enthusiastic demo-
Gratis greeted Hon. Thos. F. Grady, the
eloquent New York orator, at Friends
warehouse tonight, and all were more
than repaid by the mastery discourse,
which was never excelled, if indeed
equalled in this city in any previous
campaign. Mr.. F. P. Christian, chairman
of the executive committee introduced as
the first speaker DR.. Thomas Nelson
Page, who made forcible speech on the
iniquities of the force bill and the con-
sequences of its being foisted upon the
south, closing with powerful appeal to
the democrats and all patriots to stand
together and defeat the republican plan
for the enslavement of our section. Capt.
Thomas Smith, of Faquler then intro
duced Mr.. Grady, as "a tammany tiger
of the true type"
Mr.. Grady prefaced his remarks with
the assurance that the great State of New
York is safe for Cleveland Stevenson.
He then took up the force bill, and dis
cussed its provisions with the skill of a
master. The consequences of its enforce
ment in the Southern States were depic
ted in burning words and the audience
was spell bound under the influence OF
his powerful logic. He recalled
the scenes of carpetbag rule, when 2,90C
negro justices of the peace, not one OF
whom could read or write, dispensed al
legged justice in South Caralina, and
warned his hearers that repetition Of
the wrongs of that period would ine'
tably follow republican success in No
vember
Continuing, Mr.. Grady said: 'If tin
third party is untrue to its allegiance ir
this contest, its leaders will have the sat
isfaction of knowing that they hav
forged the manacles for their own wrist
and that the success of the force bill
will sound the death knell of American
liberty"
After speaking for about two hours
touching upon all the issues of the day
he closed with powerful tribute t
Cleveland. In response to loud calls
Hon. John w. Daniel appeared an
delighted the audience with few chose
remarks.

The September prospects of the crops

He said that he had met with

the charges against him regarding the
Misrepresentation of funds which he had
made a levy for while in Pulaski, Tenn, :,
were false. He was not responsible for
the acts of his superior officer In regard
to his saying things about the democrats
and the South during the war, he explain
ed that at that time he was fighting
the democratic party and although he
did not express himself in the exect Ian
guage used in the reports, still he &C
knowledged having used words equally
as strong. He said that the movement OF
the peoples party was for peace and
prosperity. The death of republican

Tho Ancient petrothal Ring.

The ancients wore the betrothal ring
as now on the next least finger of the
left hand Many reasons are assigned
for this, as the erroneous idea that a
vein or nerve went direct to the heart,
and therefore the outward sign of mat
rimony should be placed in connection
with the seat of life; the left hand is a
sign of inferiority or subjection; the
left hand is less employed than the
right, and the finger next least is the
best protected. AT one time it was the
custom to place the wedding ring on
the right hand Of the bride. The Anglo
Saxon bridegroom at the betrothal gave
q wed or pledge. and ring was placed
on the maidcn's right hand where it re-
manned till marriage. and was then

Italian sailor. lie came ashore with
Polly perchcd on his shoulder and was
soon stopped by the old lady in ques-
ton, who inquired if he would sell the
bird. That was his business ashore,
but he did not consider it necessary to
advertise that fact in black-faced type.
After telling the necessary amount of
trading lies he offered to part with
Polly for fifty dollars. The old lady
looked disappointed and turned away.
AS she did SO the bird began to sing
Nearer, My God, to Thee She turned
and came back. The parrot began to
chatter to her: Mica woman! Mica
lady Me lika Mica lady! Polly kiss
Mica LADY, That settled it. She paid
the fifty dollars and took the cage. AS
she started off the bird screamed out:
Where i'll hella you maka to witha dc

guarded her shamefully. She dropped
the cage aghast and the bird screeched
'You brea!Sa my damn nccka, huh?
Then followed several forciblc but in
elegant expressions about old women
in general and that unfortunate spcci-
men in particular. She went back to
the sailor and said, very mccllly: My

there was no help for it. She couldn't
