Twenty years ago Landlord Bright buried twenty gallons of of Jersey ap- plejack at the foot of the pole bearing the sign board of the old Woodport tavern in New Jersey. His orders were that it should be resurrected after twenty years, and it was accordingly brought to light last Thursday. The liquor is described as clear and mellow, and as everybody in the town was in- vited, there has been a general express sion of opinion as to its excellence. But how was so much good applejack al- lowed to stay buried in New Jersey so long?

The law against wearing sectarian clothes in Pennsylvania is hitting others besides Roman Catholics. In Somerset county 8 young man belong ing to the Mennonite church has been appointed teacher in the public schools, but finds himself barred out be- cause of his distinctive garb peculiar to that sect. Consequently a leading Mennonite has written to the superin- tendent of public instruction bitterly protesting against the new law, which he calls shameful infringement on their liberties. They love the public school system as much as anybody does, he says. and their mode of dress indicates only that they believe in simplicity of attire. It is a matter of conscience with them, and he does not understand why it should be consider ed as making them unfit to participate in the conduct of the public schools.

Whatever else Theodore Roosevelt is he is not a scab. He lays down this rule for rich young men: As for myself, I'd work as quick beside Pat Dugan as with the last descendant of a patroon. It literally makes no difference to me so long as the work is good and the man is in earnest. One other thing I'd like to teach the young man of wealth. that he who has not got wealth owes his first duty to his family; but he who has money owes his first duty to the state. It is ignoble to try to heap money on money.

Home Talent.


There is a disposition on the part Of
some of our citizens to depreciate ma
tive talent, when it suits their selfish
ends best. These reflections are in
spired by a rumor that an architect
from abroad has been proposed TO
make plans for church building to be
erected in our city. A church build
ing is looked upon in tho nature OF q
public building. 1t is exempt from
taxation by the consent and acquies-
cence of all classes, and it is not built
and supported by one individual or
business firm. Its revenues are the
voluntary contributions of many mem.
BERG and friends of the society, and
when an Alexandria church building
goes up, let it be said that an Ale4an.
drian planned it, and that Alexandria
mechanics did the work. We happen
to know that we have the architect
and the contractor, who are ready to
do the work and at much less cost than
an outsider will do it for. Then the
money expended for that purpose will
remain here and help to reproduce
some other improvement. Give our
native talent chance to improve and
make a reputation. Show that you
have confidence in him and the result
will be that you will get work that
will please you better than some for
eign work that we can mention, aud at
a saving of 100 per cent. HOME.

In FRANCE the country roads are so
good that vehicles propelled by steam
or electricity run over them without
the slightest difficulty, and are doing
away with the use of horses on those
roads. In Virginia the roads are so had,
especially in the winter, that they are
almost impossible by vehicles drawn
by horses. This is one of the many
differences between France and this
country. They do things better in
France than here.

THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE p, 1885

Iusrrcr RRowS of the U. S. Supreme
Court can see only one mode of escape
from the dangers that threaten this
oo,ntrv-goyernnent ownership of all
r,;lroads. telegraphs, telephones, and
all the other industries classed as natur-
al monopolies. People who understand
human nature, and who have the ability
TO reason from cause to effect, have Tor
wears fo1eseen reign of terror III this
country, aud its approach can not be
prevented by any such mode as that
proposed by Justice Brown. If half the
business industries of this country De
carried on by the government, why not
the other half also? The idea upon
which the government was founded was
that the people should support it, not
it the people. If it must support the
people, where is the requisite money to
come from except by taxes? SO ttat
every man in the country would be
taxed not only to support the govern
ment but also his fellow citizens. Such
condition of course could only have a
temporary existence, for few men will
work when they know they will be
provided for whether they do or not,
and fewer still, if the product of their
labor must go to the support of their
lazy neighbors. But as drowning men
catch at straws, so do those who dread
the coming of the evil days seek any
means, no matter how vain, to escape
from the wrath to come.

If WHAT Thomas Fortune, New
York negro who has lately been in
Virginia, says be true, General Malone
will continue his fight for the control OF
the republican party in this State and
will probably lead the Virginia delega-
ton in the next national republican con-
vention and control the federal patron
age in the State, but "that as a politi-
cll boss in Virginia he is as dead as
Haman." But as General Malone is
tn, chairman ofthe Virginia State re-
publican committee, and as under the
form and rule of his party's regular or
gauzation he can not be removed from
that position, he will retain it and play
it for all it is worth.

AN IMMENSE SILVER BOULDER
From Peach Springs, Ariz., comes the
story of the finding of nugget, or
boulder, rather, OF pure silver, such
as there has been no record of in the
history OF mining in the west. The
boulder weighed about half a ton and
its value is anywhere from $1,000 to
$4,000. 1t was found by William Tuck
er and John Doyle, prospectors. They
have kept the facts to themselves be-.
cause they desired to get the best
location for themselves before letting
the rest of the world into the secret.

THE New York Chamber of Com
merce has refused to assist the fair OF
the Cotton States, to be opened in AT.
lanta next October, for the assigned
reason that those States are in favor OF
bimetallism. New York is rich, and
the Cotton States are poor, but no mat
Ter how much the latter may profit
by their fair, the former will profit
more. All roads once led to Rome,
and all successful business in this coun-
try rebounds to the interest OF New
York. And surely the fact that some
people in the Cotton States are so cock
Drained as TO believe that free silver
coinage would benefit them, is not a
good reason why the rich beneliciarics
of their fair in New York should re-
fuse to give it their support.
