THE Lynchburg News with much
sanguinuity, figures out the nomination
of Mayor O.ey as candidate for the
Congressional honors in this district
upon the frat ballot. 1t says SO in the
following words in yesterdays issue:
The chance OF Maj. Peter j. Otey for the
Democratic nomination for Congress in CHS dis
trict is hardly any longer chance. 1t is almost
n certainty that he will get the nomination not
later than the second ballot. With facts and
figures before you 1t looks that way.
Halifax county yesterday elected a SOLID Otcy
delegation TO the convention. That means thirty
one votes Lynchburg has already elected
twenty.four delegates. Charlotte county has
elected twelve for otey and Montgomery Elk.
There is every reason TO believe that Campbell
county's eighteen votes will also be for Otcy
That makes nlnety-onc. Roanokc's delegation
of twcnty.sevcn will vote for Mr.. Miller first. If
ii is found that he stands no show for the nom-
nation, 1t is thought sixteen or more OF tho Roa
nokers will vote for Otey on.the second ballot.
AS it only requires nincty-onc TO nominate
Major Otcy's chances begin TO take the hue OF a
rosy certainty.
Politics is very queer business, and
we fear our esteemed contemporary is
figuring as yet upon uncertainties. All
reports have been to the effect that
Campbell county would, at least, divid G
honors between John G oodo and Major
O5ey. a more accurate reckoning can
be made after these delegates are
chosen.

A farmer from North Carolina has
been appointed to take the place Of
Nels Hammond at the Walker Lake
Indian Agency in Esmeralda county.
This carpet bag business is being
carried entirely too far by the pres

racy, neither is it just to the people
Of this State or any other Stale
or Territory. The plea set up
by the friends Of the Presidents
carpet-bag policy that Indian Agents
aud employees are National officers
and that the President has the right
to send carpet-baggers into a State
to hold the officers that rightfully
belong to the people Of that State is
entirely too thin for the Average

The Rat Settled 1t.

A. Michigan paper publishes the
following, which will be read with
interest by local secret society men:
A woman in Bay City, Michigan,
disguised herself as man and
clerked in a store for year, and then
applied for membership in the
Knights Of Ply thlas and was initiated.
During the work of the third rank
her sex was discovered. It seems
that in the third rank they have an
india rubber rat and cellulold snake,
which is run by clock work inside,
and which seem very natural indeed.
The idea is to let them run at the
candidate to see If he will finch.
When the snake ran at the girl 81 %
kept her nerve all right, but when
the rat tried to run up her trousers
legs she grabbed imaginary skirts in
both hands and jumped into a retrig-
orator that was standing near (Which
is used in the work of the fourth de-
gree) and screamed bloody murder.

Pathetic Instances of tho Child's Instinct
for Fun ..
Mrs. Wordsworth, who writes a NOV
ing article in Woman's Work, concern
ing the necessity Of obtaining fun,
food and fresh air" for all classes of
children, says that there are among
London's poor thousands Of little ones
who never had toy.
Yet still the child's instinct to make
believe" surmounts every practical OBJ
stacle, and there is true story of one
little sufferer from a chronic disease
whose only plaything were the spots
of damp ON the wall beside her bed.
She played they were real and alive;
she gave them names and imaginary
qualities.
Another true story showed how far
the little candle of wise and loving
word may throw its beams. a teacher
at n Sunday school for London's poor
was trying to impress upon her little
pupils some idea of the real meaning
of giving.
"Whatevcri it may be-" she said, "our
Offering to God should be of our best,
Of what we prize most"
In one baby heart her words found
ready response. Next day a little
creature confded her Offering to the
teacher; it was n carefully tied pack
age, containing few grains of rice.
This was her most precious and per-
haps her only treasure.

This little incident, simple and en-
tirely natural in itself, seemed to me to
mark strongly the whole character of
Mrs. Cleveland's social administration.
That she considered it Of sufficient i'm
portance to keep so trifling matter
unforgotten until she should again see
me, and that even amid the distraction
of receiving fifty other guests she
should remember it and go so tastefully
and agreeably about it, showed her a
mistress OF social strategy. And it af-
forded a refreshing glimpse of the
kindlineSs and unartificial suavity of
the mistress of the White house.
When the ushers finally threw open
the double doors leading into tine central
hallway. down which the assembled
ladies passed in pairs as their names
were called, and so entered the large
dining room, every guest found pleas
ant surprise awaiting her. On taking
her place at table. there was not only
the Illuminated card bearing her name
but, alternating beteen the cards, were
art candlesticks of pink, holding lilac
tinted wax candles, and tied with pink
bows, and lilac candlesticks holding
pink candles and tied with lilac bows.
Mrs. Cleveland told me afterwards that
she herself selected the candlesticks at

own deft hands tied the ribbons on
each. The names written on the cards
at our places were also in her clear, firm
handwriting. The bouquets were de-
