THE RETURN OF THE PREACHERS
Yesterday many of the pulpits of the
city were filed again by the regular
pastors. The first of September is the
limit of most of the clerical vacations.
The gentlemen of the cloth have q
longer season of rest then the men Of
any other profession. That they know
how to use it we'll is abundantly estab-
lished by the fact that, of all callings.
the clergymen are the longest lived.
A great deal. of course, is attributable
to their correct habits and to their alb
stinence from those excuses which cut
off so many years from the careers of
men who are not as careful about them
selves as they should be. At the same
time, due credit should be given to the
generosity of congregations. In this
respect the ministers are the most for
tunate people in this country, with the
possible exception of college professors;
but in the comparison between the two
the clergy undoubtedly have the better
of it, because their work is freer, and it
is more adequately appreciated. So,
all in all, the congregations have a per-
feet right to expect that their preachers
shall come back refreshed in spirit. and
in mind, and stronger in body, and al
together more eager for the important
work which is before them.-Baltimore

ANNABURG.

There appeared in the Fredericks-
burg Lance, In connection with the re-
port of the Farmers Institute, recent.
ly held at Manassas, the following de-
scription of Mr.. Robert Portner's fine
estate:
"Some years ago Mr.. Portner want
ed a country home, and looking around
he selected the one he now owns at
Manassas. The estate contains 1,600
acres of land that is in very high state
Of cultivation. The house is built in
old colonial style and Is situated in the
centre of a park of so acres. In this
park are the most beautiful trees of
every conceivable rare variety; the
roads are macadamized, the three lakes
are stocked with all kinds of fish. In
one ia the gold fish, in another carp
and trout, and another. where the wa
ter is in some places fifteen feet deep,
are the black bass. On the lakes are
rowboats and a steam launch, and a
deer park of $50 acres is being built on
another portion of the estate. The trees
in the extensive orchards are laden
down with delicious fruit. There is a
vineyard of choice grapes of every va
riety, which will yield this year 100000
pounds, and all of these grapes are sold
to one gentleman in Washington at from
three to five cents per pound and are
converted into wine. An electric and
gas plant supplies the house with light
and the whole is the handiwork of Mr..
P~ortner's two sons, who are studying
electrical engineering and have q de.
cided taste and talent for it.
On this estate is the brick house used By
Gen. Beauregard before the battle of Manas-
sas as his headquarters, and the earthwork of
Fort Beauregard is in as good q state of pres.
erystion as it was when built thirty.three
years ago, Mr.. Portner will not allow it to
be ieveIed. The house is 8 gem; it is made
Of brown stone, all quarried on tho estate;
has twenty-five rooms is supplied with all
modern convepieDces and furnished in mag
piicent style. To tho left Of the house in
the park is q castle with turrets similar to
those on the Rhine, which is built of brown
stone. The room in the interior OF the casIie
will be used by Mr. Portner as q museum OF
war relics.
Mr.. and Mrs. Portner are the parents OF
twelve living chiIdran-si1 handsome boys
and ak pretty girls-and it is q beautiful pic
ture to see this happy family together.
In The s~pscious parlors is IN oil painting
made by an artist while the family was on q
visit TO Germany. The whole family is paint
ed nearly life size, and the coloring and chad
ing are perfect; it is a splendid work Of art.
This indeed is a lovely home, such as describ-
cd by Secretary Morton in his speech.

mob of populists and moDgrels in his
own State or from the helter-skelter
ranks of the alleged republican party
in some of the southern common
wealths, most probably from Virginia
or Tennessee. From Virginia the most
formidable republican aspirant is un-
derstood to be no less q parsonage
than Gen. VIM. Malone. He could
have gone abroad under Garfield,
Arthur or Harrison but declined. This
mission to Mexico, however, is right at
the door of his section. 1t is q ride of
but little more than g day or two from
Petersburg. There is no going abroad
about it. There is.rank, honor, money
and business in it. Gen. Malone would
be eratiGed with the offer of it by the
next republican President and so would
any other republican of the South.
Some of his friends here have already
selected him for the post. Should there
be no Cabinet portfolio available for
the General, the cry of his friends will
bs 500 to Mexico It is said here to-
day that he will have a "cinch'' on the
appointment unless the democrats
should win or his best and staunchest
friend, Senator Quay, should die.
Other leading republicans in Virginia
are also selecting important places now
held by democrats under the present
administration.

those of the Lursy caverns which
they visited yesterday.

The OYSTER SEAsoN.-The oyster
season began yesterday, for those who
hold to the theory that the succulent
bivalve is only healthy and palatable
during the months that are spelled

at present, the oyster will be fully up
to the standard, both as to quantity
and quality, in the Virginia grounds
this season, and it is expected that the
trade will equal if not exceed that OF
last year. Secretary Zollicoffer, of the
board of the Chesapeake and its tribu-
taries, is authority for the statement
that the oyster planters are now afford
ed better protection against pirates
then ever before. The Virginia oyster
