4 VALUABLE TIME PIEcE.-Way back in

tor Of sundry stage lines running from the
National Capital to the land of cotton" and
failed for large amount. Meeting credi-

he pulled from his fo5-pocket an open-face,
gold case English patent lever watch, and
handed il to Sir. Hill with this remark
Take this. my friend, ii is the only property

watch on account. sold it to Colonel Twyman,
of Madison, and lie to Wm. l.. Early of the
same county who at his death bequeathed it
10 his son William, the present owner. This
watch was shown us the other day by Mr..
d. ~ Pat;ic. .ir. sheriff of Madison. Opening
it we found these words engraved upon it
"Wm. II. Smith, Calpeper Va. March, 1880"
Here was evidence that it had been in use for
90 years. The remarkable part of its history

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
In your issue Of the 22d you struck
one blow which has been too long neg
lected by ell newspapers and which we
hope may have q good effect and cause
others to follow your example We al
lude to your editorial on the training of
children. The state of society among
children Of it can be called society is
truly alarming and has destroyed the
whole social fabric upon which society
is founded.
Obedience TO parents or respect for
old persons is entirely ignored and
children are allowed to usurp the first
place in every condition in which they
can be placed. The first at table, the
first to be helped and that of the
choicest parts. or a regular hades Is
raised and 10 person allowed TO eat in
peace or correct their insupportable
conduct. There was time when the
parent commanded and the child obey
cd instantly but now they are
hired, coaXed or pctted into
anything and everything the parent
wants them to do Break, destroy and
tear up any thing that comes in their
way regardless OF value. and though
often threatened are never corrected.
There is no peace, 10 quiet, no happi-
ness to-day where there are any child
rem, for instead OF training them up in
the admonition of the Lord, they are
turned loose at home and abroad to
work in the factory of the devil. [
uH and coat is their platform and
they are elected by the votes of the
parents to carry out their wills. ''If
YOU do so again / will whip YOU is the
promise of parents, and they may do
it dozen times and go ouncorrected un-
less the parent gets angry, and then the
fur flies and the child is set an example
of anger or revenge, which it will be
sure to initiate Parents spoil their
children. wont teach them obedience
(all really that they have to teach)
while they are small or quite young,
and in Il few years they are masters of
the situation and defy parents and
teachers. Ycs sir. obey your parents
covers the whole field and you can't
commence too early. Again, what sense
or use is there in allowing children to
raise regular hades in the house by
squalling, halloaing, stamping (even
laughing) when older persons are talk
ing, reading, or sometimes trying to
rest from pain or sickness? Persons,
to have any quiet or rest now where
there are children, must divest them
selves of all feeling, have no nerves and
be deaf to the thunders of Niagara.
Yes, sir; parents shirl the responsible
ty OF their children and send them off
to teachers. who are not allowed to cor
rect them, but must make gentlemen
and ladies out of them without the
greatest essential, obedience. Hit them
again. Keep on hammering upon their
obdUate heads until there is q reforma-
ton, or what we call refined society is
at an end. 1t is sad, it is awful to think
of rope given to children these days,
and the parents will have to pay the
penalty by seeing their children occu-
pying the position described in your cd
itorial OLD MAN.

Royal Flute PLAYER.

Frederick the Great made generous
presents to all musicians except flute
players. He played the flute remarka-
bly, well himself, and his proficiency
sometimes led to acts that caused dis
appointment to his brother artists. A
famous fu+ist once visited Potsdam
and asked permission to play to the king
hoping that Frederick would show his
appreciation of his skill by some valua-
BILE gift.
Frederick received him graciously,
and listened attentively while he played
a difficult piece.
You play very WELL he said, land

of such ability, viii give You proof

sician waited. guessing at the probable

CUPID AND THE CAT.

A Suffering Feline Game Bet..een Two
Souls That Beat as One.
He lives in Evanston, and during the
past two years has been paying his adj
dresses to one of the most charming
girls ON the north side. The wedding
day has not been named, but their en-
gagement was announced almost year
ago.
Several weeks ago, while they were
walking home from church one Sunday
night, they ran across a cat that was
wailing piteously on a doorstep. DC
you hear that, Ji1n:" she exclaimed,
grasping his arm with a closer grip.
There's something the matter with that
poor little pussy. I'm going to see what
ails it.
Nonsense" he replied. Lets go on;
the cat will take care of itself"
mo; let's see what is the trouble.
Without more ado the young woman
ran up to the cat and was horifed to
find that the animal had evidently been
run over by wagon, as its spine was
dislocated and it was barely able to
crawl by dragging its nind legs.

How the Continents Attract Seas.

The effect Of gravitation in heaping up
the sea waters upon the shores Of conti-
nents is one Of the most interesting, as
we'll as the most curious and least con-
sidered, facts in connection with old
oceans history. Thus the continents
are all situated at tops of great hills or
mountains Of water, and to cross the At
lantic or any other ocean the ship has
to first go down the sloping sheet, cross
the valley and then climb the noun
tain of water on the other side before it
safely reaches a harbor.
In this connection the interesting cal
culation has been made that in mid
ocean on the Atlantic the depression is
about three fourths of mile below the
level of the water at coast line, while
ship in travelling from San Francisco to
Yokohama, Japan, must cross a valley
at least mile in depth.-st. Louis Re-

A Successful Fuse.

A couple of thirsty fellows who had
been loafng all the forenoon on the
quays at Stockholm We're struck with d
brilliant idea. They borrowed an old
brandy keg and half filled it with water.
Then one Of them slung it on his shoul-
der and took it to the nearest spirit
vault, where he stated that he had been
sent by one of the shippers in port to
have the keg filed with brandy.
'The captain is sorry he only got il
half full yesterday and thinks it would
be better to have it filled to the top"
The keg was accordingly held under
the tap till it was full, and the fellow
hoisted it on his shoulder, but as he was
about to walk off with it he was stop
ped by the clerk, who demanded pay
ment for the spirits.
Hasn't our skipper a running ac-
COUNT
Certainly not"
"Bless me! Imust have gone to the
wrong shop. There is nothing for it
but to empty half the keg back again"
This was no sooner said than done;
after which our hero merrily went in
search of his companion.-Dagblaedt.
