MARQUIS SALISBURY.
The Famous Prime Minister Of
Great Britain.
Although . Pleasant Gentleman, He Hns
Never Been Popular With tho Feo-
pie - Personal PecallAritiss
of Great Man.

The most remarkable thing about
Lord Salisbury, writes the London cor
respondent Of the Chicago Inter Ocean,
is personal one, though it has q GER
tain sort of political interest He is the
first prime minister Of England since
his ancestor, Robert Cecil, earl Of Bur
leigh, lord keeper Of tho great seal
under Queen Elizabeth. who has worn
q beard. The fashion Of wearing boards
went out in England at the beginning
of tho seventeenth century and has
never quito oone IN again among thaA
class Of men from whom prime min
listers are drawn. Even the mustache
was almost unknown In England en-
cept among the military until after the
Crimean war, when civilians took 20
wearing it, partly in imitation Of the
soldiers and partly from the influence
Of the French alliance. But as for the
beard, it II still regarded as Al eocen-
tricity or as the mark Of SONS outland-
ish bringing up. The official class as .
rule, wear only side whiskers. Mr..
Gladstone Lord Besconsfeld, Lord
Russell, Lord PalmerSton, Lord Derby,
Lord Aberdeen, Sir Robert Peel. the
duke OF Wellington, Lord Melbourne
and all the other prime ministers OF the
nineteenth century wore only side
whiskers, while before their time, for
two centuries, the custom was to shave
close. At tho present day boards are
more common in the house Of lords than
In the house of commons. because Q
good many elderly men wear them, and
the lords arc much older than the oorn-
mons.
But in either house beard makes .
man decidedly noticeable. Lord Spen-
Ger, formerly lord lieutenant Of Ireland,
wears big, rough beard. and Lord
Lathon, the present lord chamberlain,
wears huge red beard, coming almost
down to his waist. But Lord Salisbury
is the only prime minister for just 800

UNSELFlstlNESS.

Pluck the flower that blooms at thy door;
Cherish the love that the day may send;
Cometh an hour when all thy store
Vainly were offered for flower or friend.
Gratefully take what life offereth;
Look to heaven, nor seek a reward.
So shalt thou find, come life, come death,
Earth and sky are in sweet accord.

A Harrisonburg Artist.

Miss Constantine McCorkle returned
to her home at Harrsonburg last Thurs
day week from Waynesboro, where she
has been attending Mrs. Winston's Val
ley Female Seminary. The Waynesboro
Sentinel makes this complimentary ref
erence to an oil painting which was
among the art specimens at the Com
mencement: 1--WE now turn with pleas
ure to the works of Miss A. c. McCorkle,
OF Harrisonburg, ebay Dreaming" an
oil painting This lovely picture is a
gem in point of artistic design, harmony
Of color. and excellence of finish, we
must pronounce it in our judgement the
best on exhibition. It represents
young girl seated on grassy knoll sur
rounded with garands of flowers, and by
the dreamy look in her expressive coun
tenance seems trying to pierce the veil
of her future The attitude of the grace
fnl figure is perfect and the expression
of the countenance one that could not
be transferred to canvas by other than
Il talented hand. Miss McCorkle had
other pictures on exhibition Of rare
beauty and merit.''
The young lady referred to in the
above notice is cousin Of the pastor
of the Presbyterian Church here, Rev
e. w, McCorkle.
