The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1893-10-05
The Wish Father to the Thought.

The report put in circulation by those
interested in a rival enterprise, that the
VIRGINIAN was to be discontinued, is
without the slightest foundation, so far
as our knowledge goes as to the inten-
tions of the owners of the paper. They
are we'll able to publish the VIRGINIAN,
financially and otherwise, and are not
likely to let the paper go by default.
While it is true the lease of the present
Editor will expire before a great while,
and his connection with the establish
ment may then terminate, it does not
follow that the paper will be discon
tinued.
In the meantime, we hope none of the
friends of the VIRGINIAN will forget that
it is still published at the old stoaad,
where their wants in the printing line
will be cheerfully supplied. And we de
sire to say to those who declared recent
ly that they had run the VIRGINIAN
out" that their patience will be sorely
tried before their wish is gratified. The
real owners OF this enterprise are men
not easily discouraged nor baffied.

Judge From the Past.

Times are extremely dull all over
the world but the state OF Nevada
can still hold its head above water,
but for how long it will be able to do
SO, is another question. The state Of
California could not be much worse
financially than it is at present. A
person can see men and women every
day going toward employment offices
in the large cities. in the hope Of get
ting employment OF some kind SO as
to keep body and soul together, but
as a general thing all are tnrned
away with the information that
there are no vacant positions to be
had. 1t truly is a pitiful sight to
note the look of disappointment de-
picted on the faces of these people.
Something must be done to relieve
such great distress, and it must be
done soon. The remonetization OF
silver would surely help the masses,
and the money market would not be
as stringent as it is today. If the
silver question is not understood by
the many, either educate yourselves
upon the subject, or judge from the
past-in the past there was no such
poverty or scarcity of work as there
is now. Don't let any one convince
you on this question by one sided
argument, look into the matter your
selves, and ifyou do not understand it
thoroughly do not be ashamed to
seek information from those who
by hard study and able reasoning
have gained the information you lack
as regards the silver question.

A Narrow Escape.

A manure pile in the rear OF
Summerfield's stable caught fire yes
terday in an unknown manner. The
blaze was fortunately discovered be-
fore it had secured much Roadway
and was put out with a few buckets
of water. 1t was a narrow escape
and shows that people cannot be too
careful these days, when everything
is as dry as finder.

even when the speakeris full of frivolity.

Few people would be apt to under
stand what you meant If you talked to
them about "telepathy." New sciences
spring up so rapidly nowadays that it is
hard work to keep track of the new
words coined for them. Telepathy is re-
lated in meaning to telegraphy, in that
it is q sort of mental telegraphy, or feel
ing at a distance, being derived from the
Greek, pathos, feeling and tele, at dis
tance. 1t is only a new and more scien-
tito name, however. for what we com
monty speak Of as mind reading, though
not all mind reading is telepathy.
Richard Hodson, secretary of the So
ciety for Psychical Research, defines te-
lepathy as the ability of one mind to i'm.
press or be impressed by another mind
otherwise than through the recognized
channels Of sense, and cites some remark.

We learn that the nose Of Socrates was
not Greek, but such as Greek artists
usually assigned to satyrs Occasional
ly, as in beautiful group Of a satyr
playing dice with nymph on bronze
mirror, they gave satyrs another kind of
nose. The noses Of the ladies in the
Tanagra terra Gotta are Of all agreeable
orders of nose, not necessarily Greek
The chances are that the Greeks varied
as much as we do in their noses, while
the tradition of their art preferred the
conventional straight nose. In the same
