The Cottage Grove Leader libeIs one
of the Grove bellies in the following
item: ut is curious how some people
can make mistakes. A short time ago
a young lady not many miles fr M
Eugene was troubled with boi about
three-fourths of an inch above the
elbow of her knee. 1t grew so bad that
she thought 1t necessary 70 call doc
tor, but as the family doctor was in
gle man she shuddered at the thought
of showing the boil to him. The
mother suggested one of the other resi-
dent physicians, who were old married
men, but the father kicked. He said
1t would make the young doctor mad.
The young lady saw way out of the
difficulty. She reported that one of
those travelling doctors who had been
coming to that town regularly for a
long time was in town, and she saw
him pass with his medicine case that
afternoon. 1t was agreed that they
watch for the specialist and call him
In. A sharp lookout was kept, and
sure enough along he came. He was
called in and the young lady very mod
estly exhibited her boil, The stranger,
rather curiously for doctor, looked at
IL and remarked, well that's too bad.
We'll doctor, what shall / doT The
stranger tumbled. He smiled smile
and replied: Get a Doctor Pm a

Virginia Behind.

From the Lynchburg Advance, June 27.l
While the University of Virginia still re-
fuses to open its doors to women. the higher
institutions in some Of the Southern Stat
have caught the progressive spirit OF the age
and have determined to give the girls al
equal chance with the boys. The State Uni
versities in Texas and Mississippi have de-
termined to admit women upon equal terms
with men, and the Tulane University of Lou
isiana has recently conferred the degree of II
A. upon two young women. Virginia. in
stead Of leading in this movement, must be
content to take her place in the rear of the
advancing column. Public opinion in favor
of the higher education of women is evidently
on the increase, and the demand for equal
facilities for both sexes Will soon become i'm
perative Every year the number of women
who must make their own support grows lar
ger, and it is only an act of simple justice to
give these girls fair chance in the battle OF
life by putting within their reach the same
means Of mental culture now enjoyed BY the
other sex, The idea that women are inferior
Intellectually to men is weli-ni9h exploded,
and even if that idea We're correct it would
not furnish a good excuse for withholding
from women educational advantages. We
trust that in few years the daughters of Vir-
GINA will be welcomed to the halls Of OUT
grand State University.

The Richmond Dispatch thinks the ab-
sence Of ''any mention of Mr.. Cleveland OF
his administration in Senator Patrick
Walsh address to the people of Georgia
asking for ire eIectio;l'' to the L. S. Sen
ate, ';does not speak well for the populari
ty of MI Cleveland OF his policy" Mr.
Walsh is not asking for reelection from
Georgia, he has never been elected from
that State; he is an accident appointed by
the Governor OF Georgia to fill vacancy
He was the David Bennett II i'll leader in
Georgia in 1892. and was beaten by the
Cleveland men in the State Convention
He is therefore not likely to have anything
good to say of Cleveland, and appealing for
aid to Cleveland State, he is not likely to
say anything bad of him. When the next
legislature of Georgia assem- bies, we expect
our friend of the Dispatch will think that
the absence of any mention therein Of Mr..
Patrick Walsh will cast considerable doubt
Oh the popularity OF himself OF has policy,
with the people OF that State.

FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 6. 1894
OFFICIAL SPEECH MAKING.

The close last Saturday of the third term
of Mayor j. T. Ellyson, ended the first Pc
riod of very remarkable era of official
speech-making. Whether Richmond will
ever have another period of it is a matter
of doubt. 1t brought to mind the change
time brings. In the older days we
suppose the old Mayors Mayo,
and the others, hardly ever had such
a thing as National assembly. About
all the speech making they were required
to make was at Blues dinner at Buchan-
ans Spring, OIL Fayette Artillery dinner
ND at Clarke's Spring. There was rarely
ANYTHING National in those days, it was
generally Southern-the Southern conven-
ton to establish a line for direct trade with
Europe. aSouthern commercial convention,
and all that sort OF thing. These were
taken care of by the Governors and speech
making to them was al easy task-a sui
ficientlv warm denunciatiOn of abolition,
free sellers. and so forth, about filling the
bill. The Governors of that day knew all
about politics but were only theoretically
interested in commerce. Later, when The
war had come and gone and left Recon
struction in its place, there was stretch
of desert land. Henry K. Ellyscn was the
war Mayor Of that time, a time in which
deeds were Of more value than Words-lt
syas i;a time for words and few assemblies
met there. 1t was not until years later,
that prominent associations of the country
,chn ,nuJ and 3hOut that
time Taylor Ellyson us Mayor began to
welcome them. Attracted by the special
Knowledge which he exhibited in Welcom-
inc two or three assemhlages. we have
watched his career as an official speech
maker. We have never seen SO many

times more, but always something new ana
worth listening to by those interested in

him tipping as gently over some delicate
political situation as if walking On egg
shells and getting across without Ofense
to any one, though most of his hearers were
bristling for row if the slightest peg to
hang one on was left uncovered. All this
was the work Of very remarkable man,
and Richmond will have extraordinary
good fortune if she ever again has such a
model official speech maker as her late

A Constitutional Convention.

From the Charlottesville Chronicle,
June 2Sth
The press of the State have been agitating
the question of calling a constitutional con-
vention for the purpose Of amending and re-
constructing the present constitution of the
State in the near future. We have always
been disinclined to the calling of such con-
ventionS. The idea of several hundred poll
ticians, clothed with plenary powers, let loose
upon the organic law of the State is some
thing awful to contemplate. Nevertheless
we recognize the fact that there may be reas-
ons sufficiently cogent to reconcile the people
to the propriety of calling such a body into
existence. There can be no doubt, for in
stance, that the Legislature should be cloth
ed with ample powers to radically reorgan
ize our criminal laws
Then again the expenses of the State gov
eminent and the county government are out
rageously extravaganza. The Hon. A. H. II .
Stuart told us, at the time the noted ''con-
mittee OF nine" was working in Washington
to ward Off from the State the unadulterated
Underwood constitution, that Gen. Grant one,
| remarked to him that he did not see how the
people of Virginia or any other State could
live under the county organization scheme OF
the Underwood constithtion-that their backs
wauld break under the expenses imposed by
that system, For some reason Grant, al
til ough seeing SO clearly the defects of the
county organization, allowed 1t to remain in
the constitution, when he struck out, OF rather
permitted our people to vote out, the odious
test oath clause.
We have little doubt that by a proper re-
vision Of the constitution million or mil
lion and a half of dollars might annually be
saved to cur people. Whether convention
may do more harm in other directions than
this saving Will do good, is the question fol
the voters to consider.

Three Mistakes Already.
From the Ladies Pictorial. |


An amusing story is given of little girl
who had been very naughty, so that the aunt
whom she was visiting lad to punish her.
When she came to say her prayers at night,
her little mind was still full Of wrath against
her aunt, but Yet the child did not quite like
to leaye her name out Of her evening devo-
tions, so she coni promised matters by saying.
"Pray, God, bless father and mother then,
after long pause, she added-''and bless
Aunt Julia. too, but not much.''
It is perhaps natural that little children
should expect their small supplications to be
answered literally, We can sympathize with
the small boy over his sums who said to his
governess in puzzled, alf-indignant voice
Il can't do my sums, l can't, and | did ask
God to help me, and he's made three mistakes

POOR PEOPLE SHOULD GATHER AND DRY

RICHMOND, VA, June p, 1894.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Will you do me the favor and give the poor

practical suggestion. based on reliable reports
from the different sections of the State, and
suggest that the country papers copy?
The fruit crop is failure, rarely an in
stance of q report OF any peaches or pears.
The small per cent of apples reported is be-
ing rapidly reduced; they are falling from
the trees, and practically there viii be none

A good crop of grapes is expected in many
counties A large crop of blackberries is re
ported in most countie: IN some a good crop
of huckleberries, also.
Now, if those who are out of employment
or are unable to do heavy work Che women
and children, who have to do what they can,
and frequently pick these berries and sell
them fresh in the towns and villages for what
they can get will pick and dry all they can
work diligently at it-they will be amply re-
warded this winter; they will, if the fruit is
held till January, make much money. Those
who have not supply Of dryers near towns
can get for nothing old tin from discarded
roofing, often from burned houses. This
Strengthened out for dryers is preferable to
wood, drys quicker, and is more easily ham

The blackberry is the main chance. Gather
