They Prayed for a Calm.
Lyuchbufg Advance.


a striking story of the result of prayer
is told IN connection with the recent de-
structiye fire at Martinsvile. The truth
of the narrative is verified by nnqucs-
tionable authority, and tho incident was
the talk of the town ioi days after the
fire.
Rev Robert c. Anderson, 1.-THE
Nestor of Presley terianism in Virginia, is
pastor OF the Presby teriau Church at
Martinsville. He is most scholarly man
and great master of theology. He is
withal popular citizen, and is universal
ly beloved wherever he is known, loved
best where he is best known, among the
people CT Martnsville and Henry county.
He is an uncompromising believer 10
the efficacy of prayer. as we'll as the po-
tency of prayer in an emergency; hold
ing as great faith in the answer to prayer
in emergencies as at other times.
His life shows 50 many striking ex-
omplifcations Of this practical faith OF
his, that throughout Henry county he is
revered as imam of God-almost
prophet"
The fire at Martinsville occurred on the
night of April 18th. 1t broke out in a
livery stable. The wind was blowing a
gale from the northwest, and the best part
of the town was in the direction in which
the wind was blowing the fire.
The fire swept from building to build
ing with appalling speed, and the town
was in imminent danger. The wind in
creased as the fire progressed, and spark
and small faggots fell on roofs and build
ings several hundred yards distant.
The town, without the protection of a
fire department, was hopeless and in con-
sternation-almOst in despair The alarm
extended to men, women and children
alike.
At this crisis, about the hour of mid
night, some of the good women of the
town suggested that Mr.. Anderson be re-
quested TO pray for calm. Action fol.
lowed the suggestion. Mr. Anderson was
seen, and the request made.
pray yourselves" he replied, "and III
pray, also"
And he did pray with fervor and faith.
In twenty minutes, the wind settled
into dead calm, the sparks flew straight
up in the air, and the town was saved.
The foregoing is vouched for by nearly
everybody in Martinsyille, and there is no
doubt of its truth in every particular.

The Date Of the Adjournment of
Congress.

4
As usual about this period of the frs
session of every Congress, speculation be
gins to be rife as to the probable length
of the session. The present Congress il
no exception to the general rule. and NJ
little gossip is circulating on the subject
at the present time.
There can be no doubt but that large
msjorlty Of the members would prefer al
early adjournment. say at least by Jolly
|, owing to the approach of the Presi
Dental campaign and the necessity fol
individuals who desire a reelection Il
Congress to look after their poltica
fences. This is always the case in Presi
Dental years, and as such years are al
WAYS years in which the first or long ses.
sion of Congress sits there is always q
conflict of public aud private interests,
the former calling for protracted session
and the latter for an early adjournment.
In the present instant it must be adj
mitted that the condition of the public
business does not appear to warrant the
belief that an early adjournment will be
possible. The House of Representatives
has wasted much valuable time in &C
complishiug practically nothing, and all
the important appropriation bills are still
TO be acted on. This will require delib-
e.ation and even after the House is done
with them the Senate cannot be expected
to rush them through.
The business of Congress is annually
increasing 10 proportion to the growth Of
the country, hence 1t is more and more
unlikely that the first sessions can be
brought to close until late IN the sum-
mer. This appears to be the probable
outlook for the present summer

NEWS AND COMMENT.

Congressman Buchanan, Of the ninth
Virginia district, announces that he will

He is tired of politics.
For the first time in the history of these
United States our exports exceeded a
billion dollars for the twelve months
ending March 81. We are living under a
billion dollar tariff. That is the explana-
ton.
The Sioux City Qows) saloon keepers
who have been driven out of business by

Massachusetts,, like Ohio, pays its Gov
ernor s., 900 year. The only States that
have larger salaries for their Governors
are New Jersey. New York and Pennsyl-
vsnia, which give their chief executives
$4,000 annually. The salary of $1,000
prevails IN California and Illinois. Seyen
States have salaries at $4,000; four States
pay as little as $4,000, viz; Delaware,
Maine, Michigan and New Hampshire !;
and two States. Oregon and Vermont,
pay annually to each Of their Governors
the Dunficent sum Of 81 500.
The Brazilian Steamship Company,
wh;ehSSrSJTa political organization but
l1ess corporation pure and simple,
does not seem to have much faith IN the
assertions OF the free-traders that reel
procity is 'humbug." Before the reci-
proc,ty arrangements were concluded be-
tween the United States and Brazil that
company ran only four steamers a month
between American and Brazilian ports |;
1t now runs Ii steamers a month between
those ports, this being made necessary by
the increased trade between the two
countries. When the Performers" hear
of this they will probably declare that
reciprocity is only another name for free
trade, anyway"
II Is well not to be swayeG altogether
BY partisan considerations In discussing
economic questions and the principle OF
moderation is we'll illustrated by the re-
port issued by the treasury showing the
growth of the tin-plste industry. The
report makes an exhibit that should not
only be encouraging to republicans, bot
which should certainly not be offensive to
democrats; for, coming down to the main
facts, the prosperity Of the United States
will be largely dependent in the future,
as 1t has been In the past, upon our manu-
featuring industries.
The treasury department report ex-
hibits the growth of the business by quar-
tere. and the increase in each successive

predecessor that Ii the ratio be kept up
