The Novels of Mrs. Mary J. Holmes Reach
 the Popular Heart
 While it may be doubtful if the works of Mrs. Mary J. Holmes will ever be ranked among the classical productions of literature, it cannot be denied that she is among the most popular of living American authors. Her books appeal to the people, probably because of their perfect naturalness-because they pre-

Sick Dogs.

The following from Mr.. Polk Miller, of
Richmond, an authority on dog and
sporting matters, may be ofinterest
There is a great deal of uneasiness,
both in town and country concerning a
disease which has been prevalent among
dogs, and if description of the disease
and its probable causes is worth any
thing, either to the dog or its owner, l
am very glad to contribute this article
for their information.

Many dogs have been killed as ''mad

family have had the same number of
visits from "la grippe" and now comes
true the cid saying, Every dog has his

turn will come next.
Southern people have never bestowed
upon dogs the attention they deserve,
either in sickness or in health, and in

Baptism Does Not Save.

In the augusta Baptist for March, the
iy:-
cit is strange that some persist in mis-
representing what Baptists believe about
baptism. As already stated in these col.
umns we have published our sermons on
Restricted Communion and Baptism
in cheap pamphlet form. In the SER
mon on 'Baptism' will be found the
following statement: "We do not be-
lieye, as some persist in representing us,
that baptism, or imersion, is necessary
to salvation. There is not a Baptist
church anywhere that believes baptism
saves. When church believes that, it
ceases to be IL Baptist church. Baptists
every where believe that one must be
regenerated, born again, saved. before
he is baptized. Baptism is only an out
ward confession of an inward grace, a
symbolic representation of what has
taken place in the spiritual life of the
person baptized. We have less faith in
the saving power of baptism than any

Thoughts
Last Sunday week was an ideal Easter
day, and wonderfully emphasized the
reason for its celebration. Easter was
the Saxon Goddess of Spring, and her
festival was celebrated with great pomp
at that delicious season, when the sleep
ing earth first buses herself at the sun
Gods kiss. 1t was the season of new
life. The vernal sunshine 'sdrenched
the earth and flooded the laughing wa
ters, and perneated the veins of prime
val forests, and life thrilled through the
universe.
In every rootlet cherished in earth's
broad bosom, in every tiny spear of
grass. in every tender Dough, and in the
giant branches of woodland monarch
was felt the breath of Spring.
''And all the trees on all the hills,
Opened their thousand leaves"
1t was natures resurrection season.
The mystery Of death became once more
the mystery of life, and in sunshine and
gladness the glorious Springtime swept
down upon the earth.
Nearly nineteen hundred years ago, at
this season of gladness and joy, angels
who had fioated down from depths be-
You'd the stars, at Didnight's solemn
hush broke the seal and rolled away the
stone from the sepulcilre where Rome's
stern power had entombed God.
AS the Easter sunshine flooded the
dark recesses of that tomb, every grave
that death had dug, or ever would dig,
was rent asunder, every cofin-lid was
opened, and to all the dead of all the
ages rang out the mighty summons,
Come Forth!n Back on their mighty
hinges swung the everlasting doors of
eternity, and ressnrrected mortality
caught the CLEAN Of the golden glories
of Immortality

An Important Decision.
Richmond Dispatch.


A very novel case was decided in the
| Court Of Appeals at Richmond last week
1t was that of Statham against Black
ford, superintendent, and others. This
was an appeal frona decree of the Cir
cult Court of the city of Lynchburg.
The petition of Mrs Maria V. Statham
asked for a peremptory writ of mandamus
against Pr. Benjalnian Blackboard, Su-
pefintendent OF the Western Insane AS
sylum; Allen W. TaIley, the petitioners
Stathan:, and sought to have discharge
| from the Asylum. Briefly, the case
seems to have been one in which Mrs.
Statham, shortly after the death of her
husbnd, was sent to the asylum upon a
writ from the County Court of Appomat-
tox adjudging her insane, which writ
was obtained by her son and daughter,
William and Mary Statham. These pro-
ceedings was taken without any knowl-
| edge on the part OF Mrs. Statham and
without any defense from her. She had
considerable property, which was turn
ed over to a committee, Allen w. TalIey.
who was appointed by the court.
Subsequently the petitioner was grant
ed Through by the Board of Directors
of the asylum and sent to Lynchburg,
where she resided at the home of her son.
The dispositions of several physicians
show that from that time she has appears
ed to be in a perfectly sane condition.
She applied to Dir. Backford for her dis
charge, but he refused to see her and
stated that he still held her under the
jurisdiction of the asylum at the request
of her son and daughter, William w.
and Mary Statham, and her committee.
Mr.. Taliey. The superintendent also
said that he had been informed that she
had paroxysms of recurrent mania. The
petitioner therefore prayed that a manda
mus be granted to her and that the par
ties defendant be required to show cause
against her prayer, that the question Of
her sanity might be properly tried by
court and by Jury, If necessary. To
this petition all the defendants demur-
red, and the Circuit Court sustained the
demurrers
The Court of Appeals reverses the de
cree of the lower tribunal and orders the
issuance of q writ in accordance with the
petition. It takes the high ground that
as it is admitted that Mrs. Statham is
sane and is only detained because her
children, William and Mary, and the
committee wish it, she is entitled to her
discharge and proper certificate. 1t
says: I'm a case like this the court
ought not to lend ready ear to any
thing but the very right The opinion
asserts positively that the asylum is the
place for insane and not sane persons,
and is therefore no place for those of
sound mind. A rule against the Super
intendent of the Western Insane Asylum
was dismissed. The opinion was prepar-
ed by Judge Lacy and eoncurrad in by
Judges Hinton and Fauntleroy. Judges
Lewis and Richardson dlssented.

CLIFTON FORGE, VA.
A Lovely Valley.

|
Far from the maddening crowds ig-
noble strife" hedged about by towering
mountains, on either side, nestles the
"Rich PATCH Valley. 1t embraces an
area of about five miles long and one
mile wide, and is constituted of neat
farms, comfortable dwellings, and an in
intelligent and yituous population. 1t
reminds one of the descriptions we read
| of Switzerland, where primitive habits,
robust health and domestic contentment
prevail. The Valley has an elevation of
$500 to 1900 feet above the sea level
the surrounding mountains rises from
400 to 500 feet above the plain, and the
whole scene is one of picturesque beauty
and natural attractions rare V seen. The
farms are we'll cultivated, well fenced,
and present degree of prosperity and
fruitfulness unsurpassed anywhere
Wheat, corn, fruits of all kinds, cattle
sheep hogs and poultry are rased in album
dance, andon every side the evidences
of plenty and contentment meet the eye.
This lovely valley is entered on the
west through Hayes Gap, and from the
north by Karnes'. creek ravine. The
products of the farm find market at
the various industrial plants at Coying-
ton, Low Moor, Rich Patch Mines, and
the other mining camps in Allegheny
county. It was not with any partially
that the Inhabitants of the Valley con-
templated the invasion of their precincts
by the miscellaneous population, Incl
dent to mines and furnaces, as it looked
like disturbance of the contentment
that prevailed, and the primitive Gus
toms and unostentatious habits Of the
settlement. But as the market advan>
tages began to realize this reluctance
passed, away, and now they readily I'M
derstand the benefits of home market
for their surplus products.
We had occasion to pass through this
peaceful, smiling valley recently. It
looked SO restful, so placid and contented
that it was arelief from the stir and bus
tie of more populous and pretentious
communities, and inspired the wish to
seek respose and surcease from business
to enjoy the rural attractions and naturtl
beauties of this mountain bound vale.
After all, it is not the abundance II
this worlds goods that brings content
ment. 1t is how we use and appropii-
ate what we have. The apparent al
sence OF torturing care, of the grating
attritions of business; the worry and
contentious of active competition, fills
up q measure of mental repose and
physical rest. that tired nature Graves.
If pure air, sparkling mountain springs
and streams, fruitful fields, lowing herds,
and grand and inspiring scenery-nature
in her most picturesque and gorgeous
forms-can contribute to the content
ment and happiness of & people then the
Inhabitants of Rich Patch Valley ought
to be such.-Yost's Weekly.

Public Office a Public Trust.

IupiiC OAlC0 81 GUDilS LIuSU.
There is one thing about the organiza
ton of the U. S. Senate committees to
which the people Of the country dc not
take very kindly; that is, the large mum
Der Of Senators sons, daughters and rela
tives who are given place at the public
crib by means of a desk or secretaryship
The instincts of the people are against
nepotism in any form. Very few acts of
Mr. Harrisons administration did more
to lower him in the general esteem than
the willingness with which ne appoint
ed to public Office all of his own relations,
all of his wife's relations, and all of his
sons and son-in-laws relations, even to
the fortieth remove of kindred.
Jefferson, the father of the Democratic
party, has left among his writings q
statement on this subject, in which lie
says in substance that the people cans
not be made to believe other than that
the public service is abused and degrad-
ed by the appointing power dividing
among his relations Offices which are
given to him to fill for the benefit Of the
public. He was right then; the people
still take the same view of the matter.
Yet, protesting the creed of Jefferson
and with .the warning of Harrison's ex
ample before their eyes, the present Sen,
ate, falls from grace to a surprising de-
gree. Any number of Senators sons
are made clerks of Senate Committees;
>kl . 70,
their farthers; while PETER, the repre-
sentative of newer dispensation and the
advocate of a purer gospel of party poll
tics, manages to get three offices for his
family; one more Office than he has eligi
BILE sons, so he bestows the other upon
his daughter. Imagine, if you can,
George Washington, Thomas jefferson,
or Henry Clay, Daniel Webster or Thos
Hearst Benton falling SO low.
At the other end of the avenue, how
ever, different policy now prevails; and
the contrast is refreshing A western
congressman called on Cleveland and
urged a certain applicant for Office, and
to clinch his argument said the appli>
when to his utter surprise, Cleveland
abruptly answered, ''that settles it, he
can not be appointed" and forthwith
proceeded to give the congressman a
wholesome lecture upon the evils and
improprities of public trustees dividing
the trust subject among their personal
| relations. Cleveland was not only right
but his remark struck most responsive
chord in the hearts of the whole people
It is just such incidents as these, small
in themselves, yet indicating the public
character of the man aud the principles
on which he administers public office,
which has given him hold on the Deo-
| pie that no combination of Circumstance
es or of politicians can break In any
conflict with the Senate, he will be sure
of the popular support. Maainsbmf9
