Who Hath Woe 2

Out of every hundred paupers seventy
five are the result of Incorporate habits
ont of every hundred lunatics, eighty are
the consequence of drink; Of the women
in the insane asylum, the great majority
were sent there through the cruelty OF
drunken husbands. Seyenty'fve out Of
every hundred divorce cases are con-
nected with the curses of rum, and Lipety
per cent. of the criminals now in ouI
State prisons attribute their downfall IA
liquor, while no less than l2O,OOO men
and woman, each at some time in lite
some mothers darling, annually fill as
many drunkards graves. Surely the ser
pent is in the cup. Il MAJ be honey tC
the tongue. but it is gall to the heart. II
may sparkle with the hues of the morn
ing, but 1t shades the most promising
prospects with all the gloom of night that
knows the shining of no star, the break

To Stop Making Silver Dollars,

The order suspending the coinage Of
silver dollars at the United States mint at
Carson City after the 1st Of July has
caused a number of inquiries to be made
as to the policy indicated by this stop
page. The reason given for the susDen-
sion of the minting of the silver dollar is
that they are not needed, as there is nc
demand for the redemption of treasury
notes in silver dollars, 1t is simply use
less, therefore, to keep Oh plling up coins
for which there is neither demand nor
use. The expense of coming Is very heavy
and by thus closing down work a great
saving can be effected at the various
mints. No silver dollars are coined at
San Francisco or New Orleans, and but
very few at Philadelphia. The only coin
age now being executed is that OF frac-
tional silver at Philadelphia, San Fran
cisco and New Orleans. This fractional
silver is made ont OF the vornout, I'M
current fractional silver coins taken ont
of circulation, and the difference IN
weight is made up from silver purchased
by special appropriation made by Con
gress fer that purpose.

Weather Crop Bulletin.

CENTRAL OFFICE, LYNCHBURG, VA,
.Tune 5, 1893 During the past seven days
the temperature has averaged about three
degrees, daily, above the normal for the
season, while there has been slightly less
than the normal amount of sunshine. The
rainfall has been in the nature of loo al
showers and thunder-storms, but all sec
tiOns of the State have been more or less
favored with good rains. The least
amount of rainfall seems 10 have been
near Norfolk, where there was only about
one-fOurth of an inch, but throughout the
State the amount of rainfall ranged from
abont one fourth of an inch to three and
a half inches. Irwin, GoOchlahd county,
reports an excessively heavy rainfall OF
2.23 inches IN about an hour, on the 2nd
inst, which cansed considerable damage
by washing hillside lands and overflow
ing lands along creeks and small streams.
Cut worms are reported to be causing
considerable damage in Scott, Bedford,
Greene, and Hanover counties, while in
Page and Frederick counties they have
nearly disappeared. The conditions have
been generally very favorable for replant-
ing corn and tobacco, and the greater
Dol ton of the tobacco plants have been
set ont IN the central and southern coun-
ties. In some sections there has been
slightly more rain than was needed for
wheat, but no direct damage has resulted
from wet weather, and all other crops
have advanced favorably. Fruit pros
pets continue as favorable as last week.
Reports from Fredericksburg show that
winter oats are heading out rather
slowly. In Prince George county the
farmers are getting ready to begin cut
ting wheat.
On the whole, the prospects of good
crops are very favorable, and the weather
conditions have been very favorable.

. Mason's Big offerings.

Two detectives searched the house Of
William Mason, at Delmar, in North
ampton county, last week, and found
secreted therein between $4,000 and 81 ,0OC
worth of miscellaneous merchandise. A
large goods box full was gotten and re-
moved from the house to the hotel in
Demar. Mason Is the baggage-mastel
recently arrested for robbing United
States mai-bags, which he confessed
having done. The detectives say 1T is the
most systematic piece of mail robbery
they have known for the past thirty-fye
years. He is now confined in Norfolk Jail
awaiting his trial at the October court.
His wife claims to know nothing at all OF
the actions of her husband and cannot
account for the immense lot OF goods
found in her house.
The goods recovered were shipped to
Washington TO the POst-Office Depart
meut, whence they will be sent to the
proper owners. The goods were easily
identified, as the detectives had the cards
of inquiry that had been sent to the Post
Office Department, and they correspond
ed exactly with the goods found in Ma
sons house. Among the articles found in
his house were pins, fsh-hooks, surgical
instruments, photographs, silks, ribbons
cravats, jewelry, shoes, eyeglasses, etc

Sam Jones is Cheerful.

Sam Jones writes somewhat like be
talks, in a homely fashion. In a recent
letter to the Tennessee Methodist he
closes with this bit of humor and philos
ophy:
The striagency in financial circles has
become general, l hope it may be nc
worse. | sometimes think the South was
never in better shape for the crisis. We
never owed more or had less. great
many are like old John Underwood, OF
Rome, Georgia, when he said. "He was
ready to die in the name of the Lerd be
owed about as many as he didn't owe
and had nothing to pay with, and there
fore he was even with the world" The
New York banks absolutely refuse to re-
discount paper for many southern banks,
and the banks are pressing their custom
ers. If times get much tighter some men
will be like Dicks hat band they will
give way under the pressure. 1t ls a
consolation, however, to know that
"naked came we into this world and max
ed we will 90 heuco." Infant dresses and
shreuds have no pockets. Three square
meals day, with somebody to patch for
MS and darn our socks, and we will make
the landing to the graveyard. Nine
tenths of our worry Is about something
we bought and didn't need, or We bought
on speculation and the bears have got
us. But it will soon be blackberry time,
and then watermelons, and then peaches
and apples, and then 'possums. We will
last till Christmas. anyhow. l have been
worried somewhat in the past, but il a
man can't do any better he can always
come out at the hole lie went in at. !
want 10 keep ont of the Jail here and
perdition hereafter, and thereby l will
save my scalp.
