most prou,,sinr here in many years. The
oman WEATHER has enabled the farmers
10 make fine progress In working corn.
and they are, therefore. fairly well up
in "side-wiping' and wedding. bome rev
of the farmers are "two-furrowlng. 1ns
cool nights this week checked the GROWTH
of corn to some extent, but have not
materially injured the crop. The hay
crop IL about harvested, and the yield.
as rule. throughout the county. was
above the average and entirely saus-
factory.
For the present our physicians are prac-
ticaIIy "out OF Job" there being a
conspicuous absence Of sickness In the
county. SO far there has been less SICK
ness here this month than In any June
in the memory OF the Oldest inhabtant,'
and present indications seem to point to
a remarkably healthy summer
Mr.. A. r. Monsell has opened gene

county.
Miss Lucy p. Hooe and Mr.. James w,
Boggs, of this county. were married at
the residence OF the brides father. on
Wednesday OF this week. Rev. John
McKnsbb. of the Episcopal church. per-
formed the ceremony, which was wit
messed by a goodly number Of friends
and relatives OF the parties. The bride
Is a daughter OF Mr.. Isaac +. Hooe, and
the groom is the oldest son OF the late
Rev. Thomas II. Boggs. for many years
pastor In charge OF the Methodist
churches OF this county.
For a week or so past many homes or
this section have been visited by very
peculiar character, who was at first sup
posed 10 be a tramp. He walks right
along up to- and without notice or permits
sion. enters residences, and boldly de-
mands something TO eat. After satisfying
his enormous appetite. he leaves as alb
ruptly as he comes, without returning
thanks for the kndnesses lavished upon
him. or without goodbye" He has
so far declined to say where he came
from. whittier he Is going, or what his
business is, or was before coming here.
No one knows where or how he spends
his nights. and he Is rarely ever seen
in the public roads. In fact he Is never
seen until he suddenly hobs up at the
yard-gate, or front-door Of some inviting
looking country mansion, and II he Is
pressed 10 give some account or himself,
he does not hesitate to tell his Questioner
that it's none of their business where he
came from, or what his mission Is. He
is real curiosity in human form, and
though he has not committed any offences
as yet. this stranger is very
unwelcome visitor i'm these parts and
our people are in hopes that he may soon
wend his way to some other section OF the
country.

The Viaduct.
RICHMOND, VA, June 81. ls9'
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
AS citizen and taxpayer, am devoted
to our beautiful city. and deeply interest
ed in its welfare. In this spirit ! wish
to say that / consider the proposition 10
build n viaduct to connect Church Hill
with Broad street the most important
measure that has been before our Council
for a long time. or will claim Its attention
for the next fifty years.
Nothing would be of so great benent
to all Richmond as this viaduct- our
Council. in my opinion. should not only
be willing to give the franchise, but
should eagerly grasp the opportunity OF
getting a yiaduct, particularly when IL
can do so without any cost to the city.
1 am always perfectly willing TO respect
the interests and opinions of everybody,
but in my humble judgment our fellow
citizens of downtown who object tc this
great enterprise are mistaken when they
believe that IL will injure their business
or property interest. The business down
town is and will always be of a local
character, reinforced by country trade;
but even the opponents of the viaduct
will admit that persons living on Church
Hill or even downtown, are this very
day shopping on Broad street. When in
search Of goods not usually found down
town, they climb up the hill in electric
cars just as they would avail themselves
OF nice. smooth ride over the viaduct.
repeat, and / am sincere in my convic-
ton, that the business portion of down
town will not loose anything by this great
undertaking. Even that part Of Broad
street over which 1t VIII pass will hardly
suffer anything. The Traffic In that neigh
borhood will be carried on just as well as
now. without any disadvantage TO its
merchants or Inhabitants.
Think of the time New York was build
ing the el-ated railroad. What a fuss
was made over IT. and to-day there is
not a man or woman TO be found in that
city that would do away with it. Just
so will it be here IL the viaduct Is built.
A well-built viaduct, a stone structure, az
Il should be- strong. substantial. and
properly arranged, will be a perpetual
monument TO the present City Council,
and particularly TO the members from
down town, who can see far enough ahead
to consent 10 this important measure.

Oh tie WEAKNESS, the heartache.
The bitter. ceaseless pain
l thought | had forgotten,
But memory brings again
The sense of loss. the agony,
| think. will always stay
Until the blest eternity
Shall blot all care away.
I hold my hands out in the air.
And try In vain 10 grasp
That which was once so pure and fair,
So sweet to hold, and clasp.
! lock my fingers close and tight,
And press my empty palm:
Upon my hands my head / bow.
And try my soul to calm.
Der raging tempest. then, ] hear
The blessed Peace, be still"
My trembling heart casts out its fear
cStdient to His will.
For storm and wave will ever cease,
Be II of heart or tide.

The New American Liner st. Louis.
Harper's Weeklv1


The ST. Louis Is the first American ves-
sci for the transatlantic trade that has
been constructed in more than twenty
years. She is the third largest passen-
ger-ship in the world. She has not been
built for high speed to the exclusion Of
comfort Her owners, the International
Navigation Company, and her builders.
the well-known Cramp Company. OF
Philadelphia, assert that speed has been
a matter subordinate to safety and COM
fort, and that II she develops extraor
binary speed it win be due entirely TO the
normal advance in ship-buildlng, and TO
the admitted superiority of American skill
in the details Of workmanship.
The dimensions and other statistics Of
the vessel are: Length. 55f feet: length
between perpendiculars, 535 feet; extreme
breadth 63 feet: moulded depth. ~
feet; number Of decks, g. number Of wa
ter-tight compartments formed by trans
verse bulkheaGs and flats, II; distance
Of collision bulkhcad abaft of stem. 90
feet; displacement at 26 feet draught. 16,-
600 tons. The boilers will carry POO
pounds stean-pressuTe an advance OF
nearly forty pounds IN three years.
The ship has been constructed on the
idea of true economy and simplicity.
The first-class saloon has seats for the
entire number Of passengers of that
grade. and Is situated amidships. between
the two tunnels, with a large glass dome
over II. With the exc aption of the Paris
and New York. of the same line. II is on q
deck higher than on any transatlantic ves-
sci. There are no sleeping apartments on
| this deck. The pantries are also COM
pletely cut off from the sight of the
passengers. The smoking-rooms are all on
| the promenade-deck, as are the ladies'
saloons. The deck-promenade is unusually
wide, and clear from all distractions.
| There are many little conveniences on
, this ship that have not been seen before
on passenger or other ships and that fact,
with the domestic economy In the ar
ranecmsnt OF the interior OF the vessel,
and the superior workmanship on the hull
and In the senrs:nc rooms. makes the
owners and contractors willing that
| their work should stand before the world
as an example of American skill and
American enterprise.
