General Gordon in the Senate.
from the Chicago Inter-0 Ocean

The 10th of July. 1884, is likely to be one of
the red-letter days in the annals of the United
States Senate. The speech of General Cor
dos. ct Georgia, alone would give it a bright
carmine. The Debs Instruction in general,
and the Peffer-Kyie expressions OF sympafhy
with it in particular, served to fire the patri-
oiissg Of that magnificent old veteran OF the
Confederaey, and it famed up with an elo-
quence worthy the best days Of congressional
eloquence Others spoke in the same strain,
notably Senator Davis. of Minnesota, but
there was double significance in the superb

THE TARIFF BILL,

The most distinct prospect aheld Of the
Tariff bill, is that the Democrats represent
ing the House on the committee of confer
ence will have the courage of their eonvc-
lions and refuse to agree to the bill pro-
posed ley the ''conseryatiya' Senators.
This disagreement is believed to be incur
able and will be reported to the House to-
day.

The natural drift of the young men of
Virginia is to the Democratic party, and
even their Republican fathers cannot hold
them back. There We're two county con-
yentions at Wytheyille last week-Demo-
cratic and Republican. At the Republican
convention were Gen. Jas. A. Walker and
Capt. Robert Crockett, and at the Demo
cratic convention We're their sons, Alien

Eugene Debs and three of his lieutenants
are in Jail in Chicago, and the strike is grad
ually coming to an end. Many of the Pull
man strikers have returned to work. In
California they are still ditching trains
now and then, but the organized strike is
broken there as we'll as elsewhere. This
does not mean that transportation is fully
restored-the reorganization of the railroad
forces is slow.

about it, and upon examination she
found that /, contained another well
developed egg little larger than

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention adjourned last Thursday morn

One night last week passenger train
No. IS of the Atlantic Coast Line going
South, due here at 8 :26 p. m, ran into
a box car loaded with Irish potatoes
which had been left on one Of the side
tracks too near the main track. The
cab of the engine was badly damaged
and hole knocked in the tender and
mail car. Several pieces of timber
were taken out of the car. The mail
agent met with rather narrow escape
of death. The agent, Mr.. Musgrove
discovered the car was too near the
track and ordered the passenger train
put on another track, but the switch
man misunderstood the order and
changed it for the usual line. Oul
railroad men here are all very compe
tent, careful and sober men and we re
greet this unfortunate occurrence.

Beats The Record!

For more than eight Years the Union
constantly paying to the insured them
selves. the full amounts of the lace OF
their policies, for which they had paid
only the Ordinary Life Rates, just the
same as they would have paid any Of
the other leading companies for policies
of the same amounts, to be paid only
at death We are thus giving Endow-
mert insurance at Ordinary Life R ates
No other Company has done that!
The agents OF all otner companies
said for many years after we first issued
these policies, about quarter OF cen
fury ago, that it could not be done,
that no company could give ENDow-
MEST insurance at the Life-Rates but
we have THOROUGHLY DEMONSTRATED
that the UNION CENTRAL CAN DO IT
doing that which other companies say
can not be done
Those who at the same age insured
in other companies at the same time
and for the same amounts, and at the
same cost, can win their policies only at
death, and must pay the premiums as
they fall due on and on until death
relieves them, while Union Central pol
icy holders are nOw receiving their fill
insurance arih profits.
1t was represented to them boldly
that their policies we're as good as ours
What uould they giue NOW If they hdo
taken all their insurance With the UN
ION CENTRAL?
Read elsewhere what Mr.. George
Fisher says. Many, many others have
had the same experience with us. Such
FACTS can but convince you.

How to Treat a Boy.

How to Treat Boy.
S. w. Everitt writes some good
things to the Aulander Dispatch about
the treatment of boys. Among the
good things he says are the following ::
Give him chance, speak kindly to
him, encourage him. Give him lit
tie piece of land that he may cultivate
it. either in cotton, peanuts, vegetables,
or anything useful that will turn him
out 4 few dollars. Let him spend it as
he pleases but dictate to him, and then
show him how to spend it judicionsly
and always teach economy, but not
misersm. Teach him the value OF a
dollar by letting him earn one occasion
ally.
Give him plenty of good books to
read, not trashy novels, but books OF
some interest. Give him works OF Nat
ilral History Books teaching him
the various bird, those that are useful
to man for food and those that are song
birds. Books on trees, plants, etc.
Give your boys plenty of papers to
read, good papers, not those that are
full of sensational pictures, crimes, etc.
but your State papers, county papers
or some good paper with the important
news of the land III it. Encourage
them to read it, pencil mark all pieces
that you think worthy of their notice
and call their attention to them.
Teach them to use respect to all PEG
pie, and especially old people. Gooe
manners cost but little and often paw
the way to boys success.
