He Gathered So From Her Remarks, but
He Wronged Her.

A middle aged woman with a solemn
cast of countenancc and wearing a black
dress approached Colonel Dan Scott one
day this week and said:
'Sir, 1 understand there is going to be
some boss racing here next weekY''

sulkies and fence rail horses, and lean
over, and saw OF the lines, and crack the
poor beasts with short whip, and holler,
and crowd, and try to get ahead of each
other. -
"Why, why, madam
Citizen a big crowd of baldheaded old
hypocrites and cornstalk dudes will stand
round and bet on the bosses.
"Why, madam, suppose there will l19
some betting. .
''Then there will DC lot of old blolzes
up on the judges stand too drunk to tel
which boss does come in ahead. -
mo, oh. no.
"Don't you mo- me. I tell you they
will all be drunk! Then q man with a
mouth like new cellar will stand uo and
sell pools on the races and lie and cheat
and break the law
"Im sorry madam, butt

be sold by the owners or some miserable
driver viii be paid to throw it, and if an
honest man does bet on it he'll get beat
out of his money"
Madam, I'm sorry that you appear co
be so much opposed to horse racing
"Me opposed to boss Facing?''
tsI gather so from your remarks"
"No, sir, not much. just understand
it, that s all What called for was to see

PUBLIC sentiment is very fine thing,
rs long as it is on the side OF whisky. but
when it is not it is called fanaticism, or
something worse. The Ottawa people
are determined that nothing in the sem
blance of whisky or beer shall be sold in
their town, but no sooner had they driven
out the hop ale man than one came along
with "Broma." Men who want TO live off
OF others vices have little regard for
public sentiment

will remain if Senator Sherman has his

Coinage was stopped very soon after the
passage of his purchase law.

was such a wonderful contrast to the
sandy fats and muddy stream, concealed
in dense forests, the barren old field and
INSTRUCTED views Of the region had
lately trayersed. The soil also Of Gull
pepper is far more fertile than that Of
Spottsylvania, and the growth every
where gives a pleasing impression Of
abundance. There are very few cid
fields grown up with pines, few bare
wastes of rock and sand, and thus the

inspiring scenery fully justiies the en-

A Race of Vigorous Men.
1t is also q region where they raise
men. All middle Virginia down to tide
water is notably healthful, but the Pied
slope of the Allegheny mountains from
New York to middle Alabama-seems
peculiarly favorable for the white race.
There are more tall, fair haired and
blue eyed people in a strip of, say, rs
miles wide and reaching as far south as
Tuscaloosa than in any other part of
America. and out Of this region and the
adjacent sections of the interior valley

mind and body, who gave character to
so many of the young commonwealth

From the east ridge of Culpeper some
16 miles down to Germanna ford Ut is
Germanna bridge now) the road is an
almost continuous down grade and runs
for the most part between handsome
farms, The few villages rock smart and
new, like those of the northwest, and
the region generally bears an air Of
thrift and prosperity. On that part of it
sometimes called the peninsula, lying
between the Rapidan anG the north fork
Of the Rappahannock, TIE Army Of the
Potomac had its truly pleasant winter
quarters Much to my surprise, a tract
of four miles or so on each side Of the
Rapidan is now an unbroken wilderness
of pines, though the most fertile land
is in that region. and in 1864 it was
nearly all IN high state of cultivation.
There one may trudge on hour after
hour in the solemn shade of tail, straight
pines foot or more in thickness, which,
in many places, actually mingle their
tops over the road and everywhere ex-
clude the suns rays. Not only is the
Elope to the Rapidan great, but the
stream itself has a deep channel, and as
it roars over its rocky bottoms the sound,
as it is partly echoed and partly dead
ened by the overhanging pines, is like
that soothing dr-r-e-e-e of the Colorado
rivers which flow through deep canyons
lined with mountain growths--a sound
which is warranted to cure any nervous
trouble that can be cured at all.

vice prohibited. Drunkenness is
