MAGNIFICENT RESULTS.

Although the monoplistic daily
press is Systematically suppressing
returns of the Populist vote, enough
information can be gathered to show
that not less than two million
straight votes have been polled.
This in itself is a magnificent vic
tory, and one that the most enthusi-
astic reformer may well be proud of.
Nobody expected that the Peoples
party was going to "sweep the coun-
try" All that was expected was a
largely increased vote-and that has
been attained.
Let this vote be doubled next two
years and it means victory in 1896.
The outlook never was more hope
full than at the presant moment. The
chances are all in favor of a rapid
and helthy increase of strength In
the next two years.
Under Cleveland's administration
there will be no rallying of the Dem
ocrat tic forces. On the contrary It
means rapid disintegration of the
Democratic party. A few Demo
cIdlS " III go " tuO 1eC CPuoiiOoh PoA -
where they belong. The greater
portion, however, will naturally affil-
late with the Peoples party.
The Republican landslide (through
Democratic indifference will so in
fate the leaders of the g. o. p. that
dissensions will inevitably arise
and destruction follow. We predict
bigger row in the Republican
camp during the next two years than
there has been in the Democratic
party during the last two.
And more than all, the hard times
will continue. Those men who have
foolishly voted the Republican
ticket, believing that it would result
in better times, will soon see theil
fatal mistake.
All of which will tend to strength
en- and build up the third party.
The one thing to do is to rally the
forces and on with the fght.-Sentl
mel.

Dedication of an Old Virginia
Church.

The oldest Protestant church in America
structure antedating the revolutionary wal
by nearly century and a half-Old st
Lucke's, or ''Brick Church, as it is general
ly known-was dedicated last week in the
presence OF congregation that was limited
in numbers only by the capacity Of the build
ing. The church had not been worshiped
in before for sixty years.
The Norfolk Convocation of the Episcopal
Church has been in session at Smthfeld fol
the past three days. To-day was set apart fol
the re;ledication of the Colonial Church ey-
clusively, and all the ministers who attend
ed the c0nvoeation were present at the in
teresting ceremonies. The rededicatory ser
mon was preached this morning at 1850
o'clock by Rev. 3. D. Tucker, OF Norfolk
At3:30 p. IN. the exercises were continued and
addresses were made by Rev. o. S. Barten, D
D., Rev. J. 3. Funston and Rev. j.. ID.
Tucker. president Of the conXocation. A.
solo was sung by N. J. helms, prominent
lawyer of this city and superintendent of the
Washington Avenue Methodist Church Sun
day school.
Old St. I.uNe's Church was built in 1852,
tie date of its construction being contem-
porary with the war between King Charles
and his parliament, which ended in the King 8
death and the rise OF Oliver Cromwell. 1t is
situated in Isle OF Wight county, about five
miles from Smithlield on the road to Suffolk.
Its massive walls and lofty tower, Of the

high, made it a marvel in the wilderness of
woods. in the midst of which it was placed.
According to the vestry book, new roo!
was put on the church in 1871. or late
years it had fallen into decay, and up to a
few months ago was little more than an
empty shell.
1t was act destined, however, that the first
Protestant church iii the United States should
stand Gi5:Rantle,i and unused, and the work
of restoration finally began large sum

The Origin OF the Bridal Veil.
[ From Chambers Journal.l


The bridal veil is evidently of Eastern
origin, being relic of the bridal canopy held
over the heads OF the bride and bridegroom
Among the Anglo SaXors a similar custom
existed, bat if the bride was widow it was
dispensed With According to Sarum usage,
Il fine linen cloth was laid on the heads of the
bride and bridegroom, and not removed till
the henedictiun had been said
The old British custom was to use natures
veil unadorned- hat is, the long hair Of the
bride, which was 50 worn by all brides, royal
noble and staple. Only then did all behold
the tresses of rnaideuhood in their entirety,
and for the last time, as, after marriage, this
badge of yirginity was neatly dressed on the
head. Among some the tresses were cut and
carefully slowed away on woman becoming

Reformed by a Rat.

Miss Frances Power Cobbe tells story Of II
a man who was long the terror of prison atl-
thorlties. Time after time he had broken out
and made savage assaults on his iailors
Stripes and chains had been multiplied year
after year, and he was habitually confined in
an underground CELL whence he was only
taken to work with his fellow convicts in the
prison yard but his feroety loug remained
untamed At last it was observed that he
grew rather more calm and docile, without
apparent cause for the change, till one day,
when he was working with his comrades d
large rat suddenly leaped from the breast Of
his coat and ran across the yard Naturally
the cry was raised to kill the rat, and the
men were prepared to throw stones at it, when
the convict, hitherto so ferocious, with sud
den outburst OF feeling, implored ~ r.
sist and allow him to rec44~cT ms 1aVof!}e
The prison officials for on[<SFete guided by
happy compassion, anasuaeled him to call
back his rat. which came to his voice and
nestled back in his dress. The conyicts graf
itude was as strong as his rebellious DISPOSE
ton had hitherto proved, and from that day
he proved submissive and orderly. After some
years he became the trusted assistant of his
laiioss, and finally was killed in defending
them against a ny,tiay- of the other convicts
The love Of that nnmbie creature finding a
place in his rough heart mad changed his
whole character. Who shall limit the mira
Giles to be wrought by affection when the love
of a rat could transform man?
