wedding wreaths of the World.

The wreath which graces the head of a
bride on her wedding day has been sung
by more poets, even the great ones like
Schiller. than any other chaplet of fame
or honor. In the early days the Jews
saw in the wreath sign of what for
them was the most beautiful and pre-
cious-the promised land-and of the
myrtle the bridal crown was woven.
Later this myrtle wreath became the
symbol of womanly purity and as such
is worn by every girl bride in Germany.
In many parts of Germany the sprigs
from which the wreath shall be twined
must be taken at fixed hour of the
night between certain holy days. And
in both Denmark and Germany families
possess myrtle trees which have for quite
generation or more furnished the
bridal wreaths at family weddings. In
Greece the myrtle and the rose were con-
sidered the favorite flowers of Venus,
the twining of the two together signify
ing the union of low and virtue. In
England, i'll France and in Poland, as in
America, the orange blossom reigns su-
preme in wedding chaplets. In Italy the
white rose has taken the place of the ev-
ergreen and fragrant myrtle wreath. In
Spain it is the red, red rose that adorns
a bride, and Portugal's wedding flower
is the carnation.-New York Sun.

Savage Indifference to Pain.

Generally speaking, the more civilized
and refined races are more sensitive to
pain than barbarous and uncivilized
races. This was proved by DR.. Felkin
in a series of carefully planned expert
ments which he made upon Arabs, ne.
groes and Europeans. The stoical forti,
tude of the Arabs he considered due to
peculiar mental characteristics, of which,
mental repression, self control and
logged endurance were the leading fea-
lures. The indifference to pain in ne
groes he thought was due to diminished
general sensibility. and he was led to be-
lieve that the relative sensibility of Euro
peans, Arabs and negroes was in the
proportion of one, two and three. A
New Zealander has been known to chop
off his great toes SO that he might get on
pair of boots which had been given to
him. On one occasion native Austria
liam came to settlement to get wood
en- leg, his own leg being burned away
ut the knee. 1t had been wounded so Be-
verely that amputation was necessary,
and ashis tribehad no appliances to stop
the flow of blood his leg had been simply
burned off.-Elmira Telegram.

VIRGINIA NEWS AND NOTES.
Facts and Fencies of Interest Happening
in tho Old Dominion State.


At meeting OF the Virginia Worlds
Fair board, held in Richmond recently,
1t was decided to sell the Mt. Vetnon
building, on the exposition grounds.
This property, which is the States OK
hibit at the fair, is to be placed in the
hands of q real estate agent at once.
The idea probably is that the building
will be sold to someone for exhibition
purposes. Many of the relics which
were in the Mt. Vernon building have
already been sold.
The fourth anniversary OF the conse-
crstion of Ri. Rev. A. Van de Vyver,
bishop of the Catholic diocese of Rich
! mond, was celebrated at st. Peters
! Cathedral in that city Friday. A
feature of the occasion was the presence
of the children of all the Catholic
schools. The bishop, who has been in
Cardinal Gibbons, arrived while the in
terestiug ceremonies were in progress
and delivered brief address,.
A shooting ARRAY took place at Guyan-
dotte, near Huntingdon, W. Va, Sun
day morning in front of church which
the congregation were entering for
worship. Owen Pleasant and Willard
Wellman were formerly partners as bar
bers, but quarreled and separated.
About 2:45 o'clock Wellman met Pleas
ant and asked him for dollar that he
claimed was due him. The latter dis.
puted the account and quarrel re-
suited, Wellman pulling q knife and
dangerously stabbing Pleasant in the
right side. Wellman then ran and was
pursued by Pleasant, who, when oppo-
site the church, drew revolver and
shot Wellman through the head, killing
him Instantly
The 1O6th annual session of the synod
OF Virginia of the Presby terian Church,
which convened at Lexington last Tues
day night, closed last Saturday night.
All the pulpits in Lexington were filled
by the eminent divines Sunday who
preached to large audiences. Rev. R.
r. Kerr, d. d of Richmond, Va, was
the presiding officer and Rev. P. p.
Flournoy and w. G. Preston acted as
clerks. The statistical reports show the
Presbyterian Church in the State table
in very flourishing condition. While
in Lexlng ton the ministers and delega ties
visited Washington and Lee University
at the invitation of the president, Gen.
G. w. @. Lee, when an address of well
come was delivered by Hon. j. Randolph
Tucker. They also visited Gen. Robert
e. Lees tomb and room in the building
On Friday Rev. DR.. w. G. Campbell, OF
this city, delivered an able address on
publication and colportage. The next
session of the synod was scheduled for
the Tuesday after the third Sunday in
October, 1894, at Danville, Va. Lieut..
Gov. j. Hoge Tyler, who is an elder,
conducted the devotional exercises
Saturday. The Roanoke delegation re-
turned home Saturday afternoon.

Thu Well Bred Syornss.

The funny papers are never weary Of
descanting upon the batteries Of your
society dame. elbow are those beauti-
full children shall never forget how
sweet they looked when / peeped in at
them in their nursery that day. And
how is your precious mother? What q
wonder she isl Everybody speaks of her
marvellous crazy quilts. And your hus-
band? All the men are talking about
him. That speech of his at the - club
dinner took everybody by Storm" And
so on, ad nauseam. But it never gets to
that point with the listener. "The one
thing of which men never tire is the
honeyed voice of approval"
If, as Frederika Bremen says, "the
great duty Of life is not to give pain"
your society dame is performing the
great duty of life with admirable sue
cess. She not only does not give pain,
but she bestows positive pleasure. Even
to those who know that her words are
meant only to smooth the passing mo-
ment and must not be taken too serious
ly her little "euphuisms" are grateful.
Among the better class of well bred
people compliments are not .'laid on
with a shovel nor dragged in by the
hair" They flow easily, for they are the
result of lifetime of effort to make
ones self agreeable to everybody, so far
as one can do it within the limits of
truth. The unfailing aplomb of the
well bred woman assists her wonder
fully here. She recalls clearly at the
first glance the peculiarities and the cir
cumstances of her visitor, she sorts out
the pleasant from the UNPLEASANT, and
she invariably alludes in her remarks to
the pleasant. The transplanting, with
out its luxurious effuNiveness, of this
good custom into the home life and into
the narrow circles of the ''outs" could
result only in good.-New York Times.

SERIOUS FIRE AT TEE WEST END.

G. w. VauGhan's Residence and an I'm.
occupied House Destroyed.
A serious Are, which occurred yester.
day morning between and o'clock,
completely destroyed the residence OF
G. w. Vaughan and an unoccu pied
dwelling at the West End. The fire
was discovered by the Waterman at the
Dock Works, and George Reese, an
employee of the Cushman Iron Company
Immediately telephoned to the Vigilan,
Fire Company, who responded at once
Mr.. Vaughan and his little daughter
had narrow escape, as the first they
knew of the danger was when the fire
had broken through the window OF
their room. A portion of his furniture
was saved.
Mr.. Vaughan had an insurance of
$1,000 on the house and furniture, but
his loss was about 81, 600 in excess of
this amount 1t is thought that the
fire was the work of an incendiary, as
it is remembered that An attempt was
made to set fire to several houses in
the same locality several weeks ago.

Girls In Business.

Very much has been said on the sub
ject of girls with independent incomes
or well to do parents going into business
or taking up any means of livelihood,
and severe and it would seem very I'M
just criticisms have been INDUCED in.
1t is claimed by working women and
their champions that for girl with n
good home or an income to go into bust
ness or take remunerative work to do is
unjust to those who are dependent on
their own exertions for living. Just
where the justice of such criticism
comes in it would be difficult for any
philosopher to decide. No one thinks it
strange. Indeed it is quite the proper
thing, when a boy on or before arriving
at maturity, goes out into the world to
earn his living. However wealthy his
father may be seems to make no differ
ence. Indeed under such circumstances
industry and application to business are
looked upon as all the more praise
worthy, but for some mysterious reason
the girl is not allowed this privilege.
This appears to be but another of the
relics of barbarism which unfortunately
cling like barnacles to the ship of prog
ress.
Everybody has right to earn living
or any portion of it by whatever honor
able occupation he may see fit to take
up. Whether it be man or woman
matters not. Ia
There is plenty of work in the world
for both the boys and the girls.-New
York Ledger.

THE GRAND JURY's REPORT.

Although the grand jury has con-
sumed considerable time before arriv.
ing at it's conclusions, it has shown
from its report that the investigation
into the recent riot was thorough and
painstaking. The spirit of it's report,
as published in full in another column,
will meet with the hearty Endorsement
of Roanoke's law-abiding citizens, who
30 sincerely regret the occurrence of
those acts of disorder and brutality
which took place on the night of Sep
TENDER 90 and the morning of Septem-
Der 81.
Now that the indictments have been
found, as it is claimed, against the
foremost participants of the mob it
will be necessary, il tho future high
name of our city is to be fostered and
an example be set to prevent the re-
occurrence Of such acts of lawlessness,
to submit the offenders to speedy and
fair trial by the courts and if found
guilty, punishment should be melted out
to each according to his deserts.
Roanoke has much at stake in this
matter. Conservative and thoughtful
men have confessed that those acts OF
disorder did more to offse. the prospects
Of the city's future growth and pros
perity than has the recent financial dis
aster of the country. To partially re-
deem itself it will be necessary to show
to the world that the city discounten-
ances such work by bringing the per-
petrators to justice.

ANOTHER SUSPENSE.

1t is evident that the country must
submit to another long week or more of
suspense before the passage of some
law to relieve the financial condition of
the country. The bright prospects
which seemed to illume the horizon on
Saturday night have been darkene0 by
clouds which crowd between, but be.
hind which may possibly be still
brighter prospects than the pending
measure then cast forth.
That the compromise proviso was a
disappointment was evidenced by the
widespread expression of disapproval
which has been made public since it was
said to have been practically agreed
upon by the Democratic Senators. While
every one was almost willing to accept
any reasonable disposition it was the
general disposition to regard the meas
IRE as makeshift which would not
wholly relieve the distress or prevent
the recurrence of similar disasters.
President Cleveland Is showing his
sturdy determination to stand by what
he from the first conceived to be the
only true remedy for the existing state
of affairs and with the assurance that
he has the country and a majority OF
the Senate behind him, he acts wisely
in frustrating plan which it is adj
United does not meet the exigenc:es OF
the occasion. The Senate must try
cloture and insist upon the rights of
the majority.
