SaIvlnl, the Younger.

OF all his range of characters, young Sal
vlnl could not select one more fitted to his
romantic style than that of D'Artagnan in
The Three Guardsmen'' in which he ap-
pears at the Opera House next Tuesday
night. He will play it to perfection. He
is bringing to a close the most profitable
season in his ten years of acting-Mr. A.
w. Cooley, his courteous agent, informs
us that the receipts of their Chicago en-
gagement Melted $50, 900. He will add to
it here, for he has strong hold on the best
class of play gOerS here.

reported for the Staunton VINDICAToR.l
STEELE's TAVERN, Feb. 16.-Steele's
Tavern was established more than a centu-
~ ago, and was famous in the ''olden time
as stopping place for travellers. The first
post office between Staunton and LeXing-
ton. was here. But the railroads passed by
miles distant on either side, leaving it a
small, but full grown town. Like some
other places its chief glory lies in what it
has been more than in what it is. Still, the
readers of the VINDICAToR will no doubt
be pleased to hear from 1t occasionally.
1t has come into rather unsavory notori-
ETY. lately as the place where James +.
Lofts was killed. The people were deeply
interested in the trial of the five negroes
who were charged with the crime, and
greatly surprised at the widely different
verdicts. Why should Charles johnson 90
to the penitentiary for ten years, and his
accomplices be fined $50 each and impris-
oned two months Certainly trial by jury
receives no recommendation from this
case.
Tuesday evening of last week, Miss Jes-
sic Patterson, fifteen years old, and the
daughter of MI. George Patterson, died
very suddenly of rheumatism, at Donalds-
burg, Rockbridge county. A grave was
dug in Mt. Carmel cemetery, and the funer-
ell appointed for Wednesday afternoon. But
before the time for burial came, it was dis
covered that there was none of the rigid
ness OF death about the body, and that it
had moved-the head had turned on the
pillow. Several of the ordinary signs of
death were absent, and the face had the ap-
pearance of life. The funeral was post
poned. The body remained perfectly linz
Der, retaining also other very peculiar fea-
lures; but returning life was at length des-
paired of, and the body Was buried late Sat
urday afternoon.
MI. Joseph A. Thomas, a student of the
Senior class in Union Theological Semina-
ry, spent last Friday night at home here.
He was on his way to preach Sunday
each at Lebanon and Shemariah churches.

and adopted the following resolutions

The INDICATOR highly appreciates the
action of the Alliance. The day will come
in Virginia, when her people will be sur
prised that the occasion ever existed that
called forth such resolutions, and when the
wonder will only be why so excellent &
measure as the Kent bill came to meet Will
opposition from the railroads.

Bad Money Makes Bad Times.

The history of Andrew Jackson's
two presidential terms is crowded
with lessons that ought to be needed
by wildcat financiers. Every evil OF
reckless political banking was then
exemplified, and every one Of these
evils would be duplicated by the Al
lance plan. The idea that State tax
alton or land loans could be paid out
of the profits of wildcat banking is
the most pronounced lunacy. When
man can lift himself by his boot
straps, or make water run up hill, or
invent perpetual motion, then he can
abolish taxation and run State Gov
eminent on the interest derived from
loans of fat money on corn and potato
security.
Let US try to show the American
farmer, mechanic and laborer that
good money is the safeguard of bust
ness.
