We parted at the door of 13, ard
/ went back to my pipe and news
paper. having been absent barely
twenty minutes-viz. from $50 to
$3.50. That night as retired to rest
/ found myself speculating as to the
amount of Mr.. CASTOR Pierrepont's
interest in the will / had witnessed.
But in the morning l received a
shock. The first piece of news my
Misunderstanding in with the break
fast tray-imparted was that Gen
eral Maitland was dead.
! For moment 1 experienced SEN
sation Of surprise. Probably the gen.
erals. rt,idy cheeks had forbidden
the idea of such a speedy removal !;
but l soon saw that after all there
was not much to wonder at.
The day was again fine, and de-
termined to return to the ruined
tower to finish the sketch l had be-
gun. l reached the place on foot and
set to work, but after some little
time / had occasion to shift my posi-
tion in order to obtain a different
view of my subject. In doing SO I
met with an accident. An old stone
wall on which / had mounted crum-
bled beneath me and | fell violently
to the ground. When arose l knew
that my left arm was broken.
In great pain made my way back
to my lodgings, and accepted my
landlady's offer to send at once for
the doctor In answer to her inquiry
as to which of the medical men in
the town would prefer, / named the
only one / had any knowledge Of
Dr.. LorTiIner, who had been such a
frequent visitor next door.
The doctor came quickly and did
what was needful. 1t was a simple
fracture and easily set. Dr. Lori
mer was a cheerful, chatty man, and
staid for little general conversation
after his professional skill had ex-
hausted itself.
by the way, DOCTOR" said, "yot
have lost your patient next door"
"Yes, poor old fellow" he replied,
mot before 1 expected though.
There was no hope for him from the
first"
Your assistant, Mr.. Andrews,
seemed to be taking every care of
him last night" l said.
MY assistant! Mr.. Andrews! Last
nightp the doctor exclaimed in
IT L.
and what of last night, sira"
explained how had been asked
in by Mr. Pierrepont to witness the
generals will at $50 in the evening.
DR.. Lorrimer drew a long breath.
''Well,' he said at last, 'if you saw
him sign his will at half past s he
signed it with dead hand. General
Maitland died at half past yester
day afternoon.

A HANDSOME HOUSE.
Description of Mrs. M. n. Tay-
lor's House on the Boulevard.

Among the numerous pretty and i'm
been erected in this city, one Of the
most handsome and convenient Is that
of Mrs. NJ. III. Taylor, on the West End
Boulevard, situated on one of the highest
points in Roanoke, overlooking the
furnaces and great iron plants on the
west and the busy city on the east. This
elegant structure, designed by Brothers
do Saussure & Waters, after Mrs. Tay-
lors own ideas,i built of heavy unhewn
stone and wood. The first story is
entirely of stone and contains four large
rooms besides the kitchen and pantry,
opening into spacious hall. A wide
and massive stairway, from the hall,
leads to the second floor, which contains
five large, well-lighted rooms besides the
linen closets and bath rooms.
The interior of the house is finished
in native woods of beautiful grain and
plainly but elegantly furnished. There
are three broad porticos on tho north,
westand south sides respectively. These
porticos are supported by heavy stone
pillars and extend above the second
floor. The roof is of slate and is very
steep, and is surmounted by an otserva-
tory, surrounded by handsome iron
balustrade.
From this elevation, which is proba-
bly, the highest within the corporate
limits, the view is sublime, extending
from Salem, which can distinctly BIZ
seen in the distance, for miles down the
lovely Roanoke Valley, traversed by
the meandering Roanoke river as it
wends in and out among the vine clad
mountain spurs, glistening in the sun
light like a silver ribbon unrolled.
The general idea of this house is pat
termed after the German style of archi-
lecture Of the last century, and taken
together the situation, the arrangement
OF the numerous doors and windows, the
plain and stately furniture, and the rich
carpets and curtains give this residence
a cheerful. home like appearance.
The lawn is Hastily laid out in walks
and is surrounded by neat stone fence
The building is we'll supplied with
water, has bath rooms on each floor,
and is heated with hot air coming from
a furnace in the basement through
register in each room. a neatly fitted
stable adorns the north side OF the
square just in the rear of the house.

THE CROPS AND THE WEATHER.

The sixth weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending May Is, is as follows:
Eastern district-Much needed rains
occurred on the 10th and 18th, but it was
not very we'll distributed and in some
sections more is needed. The rain was
very beneficial in bringing up cotton,
and in counties where tobacco is planted
made excitement coalitions for transplant
ting. Corn is reported good by some
correspondents, but generally the stand
is bad, and damage by worm is reported
by a good many. Truck is doing we'll,
but peas are not turning out as well as
expected in some localities. The tenn
perature during the latter part of the
week was considerably below the average
and was slightly injurious to cotton and
corn. There seems to be an increased
acreage of peanuts.
Central district-Nery beneficial rains
| occurred in this district. Transplanting
tobacco progresses finely. Wheat and
oats and grasses are all doing we'll,
Wheat is beginning to head and cotton is
coming up fairly we'll. The cool weather
of the past few days however retards
growth; some are blowing corn. The
stand of corn is bad generally, thong some
correspondents report good stand.
Western District-The weather has
been quite favorable in this district,
Corn nlantinr is not vet finished in all
sections, though some report corn up.
Transplanting tobacco has begun. The
outlook is good for al excellent wheat
crop, and the prospect for fruit, espe,
cially apples is good. Farmers well up
with their work.

Why bitter word or cruel tongue?
Why SANDER one who's been your friend
Why bite an ear or gOuge a lung
And to annihilation tendf
Dost thou not know that Death must come,
And come to all who live O-day?
Then why not quit the reeking rum
And take a change upon baled hay?
Why make this little span of years
A torture to the weary sOulf
Go soak your head in.scalding tears
And keep away from flowing bowl.
