1 Mary Baldwin Seminary.

By an act of the legislature of Virginia passed during the session of 1S95-96, at the request of the board of trustees, the name of the Augusta Female seminary Staunton, Va, was changed to Mary Baldwin seminary" as an acknowledg- ment of their high appreciation of the valuable services and unparalleled suc- cess of Miss Mary J. Baldwin, who has been principal for thirty-three years. Endowed with wonderful business tal- ent, fine executive ability and clear judg- ment, she has made the seminary one of the foremost institutions in the land for the higher education of women. From this seminary have gone forth many noble, brilliant daughters to vari- ous fields of usefulness, and 1t now stands great monument to Miss Bald wins untiring devotion. 0
 The trustees report that at no period of it's history has it had so superior a faculty, or has the management been better-every department being under the personal direction of Miss Baldwin.
 9"Mary Baldwin seminary" is on the great trunk lines of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Baltimore and Ohio railroads in the beautiful Shenandoah valley ol Virginia, section noted for its health fulness.

was born andsgrew to oeearly womanhood on her fathers estate in the province of Puerto Principe.
 General Agramonte, her father, was killed In the ten years war, leading the patriot army into battle.
 Through the length and breadth of the: country Matilde was known and beloved' by the simple Cuban peasantry for hefs kindly gentle character, as well as foIs her great beauty
 She was a tall and graceful girl with jet black hair and eyes and a pure olives complexion that told of the Andalusiaris blood that filled her veins.
 At the outbreak of the present war a1E of her male relatives bade her solemn, adieu and marched away to join Antoniof Maceo's army, leaving Matilde alone onI the plantation. ~s e~
 One day, on returning from visit, she found her property burned and her ser- wants murdered. A troop of Spanish2 guerrillas had ridden across Puert0s Principe, leaving a trail of ruin and deso-s lation behind them
 To the camp of Antonio Maceo she rodea away, and seeking out her brothers toldl them that she, too, would bear a sword and fight for Cuba fibre. And so she donned the canvas uniform and learned to wield a -machete. E
 Angela de la Guerra, they called her.
 filibustering expedition was landing arms on the coast at Quernados de Guines. Maceo, with picked escort, was there to receive it. The Spaniards attacked them and Maceo sent a few brave soldiers toshold the enemy in check until the armsywere all ashore. Among these devoted men rode Matilde Agra monte y Varona and her brothers.
 The fight was fierce against fearful odds Tn the thick of the hand-to-hand conflict was sMatilde,S dealing strokes with her machete.
 The Spaniards saw this woman and called upon her to surrender
 "Death firstl, Cuba librev' she cried. Then she fell, pierced by twelve Span ish bullets.
 But they had checked the Spaniards The arms were landed, and Maceo came up and put the enemy to flight. But their angel is dead, and there is mourning among the patriot warriors

THE CUBAN JOAN OF ARC.

The "Angel of the war'' Falls Dead, Pierced
 by Twelve Spanish Bullets.
 Angela de la Guerra-the angel of the war-they call her, those brave soldiers of Gomez and Maceo.
 Around their camp fires they speak of her in whispers now and with tears. For in a lonely grave among the hills she loved so well, a grave dug deep with the machetes of her fellow soldiers lies her fair young form, wrapped in the flag of freedom for which she fell with twelve Spanish bullets in her bosom.
 And those dark skinned patriots cross themselves and bare their s0nburnt fore- heads and add to their Ave Marias lit4 tie whispered prayer to the Angela de Ia Guerra, asking her intercession for them and for their Cuba. And their eyes flash as the prayer gives way to a curse and a VOW of vengeance on the bloody tyrants who slew Matilde Agramonte Varona.
 For Cuba's Joan of Arc is dead. The. sad news came in a private letter to Cuban gentleman now in New York.
 This heroine was the daughter of two of the most ancient families in Cuba. For generations the Argramontes and Varonas have owned sugar plantations in different parts of the island. URtildQ

about to put out for a trip down the bay. As the boy didn't seem to realize the gravity of his offense, his father relented and refused to make @ charge against him. He was released from jail, and has since devoted his time to s"studying" launches along the river front. He got his eye fastened on the Earl, owned by Harry w. Reed of Jacob Reeds Sons, few days ago, and was unable to over come a desire to take a try at her motor.
 The Earl is AS feet in length and feet beam, and is of light draught. She is valued at 5000. Her motive power con- sists of a twelve horse power electric spark gasoline engine, which, to some people who own yachts propelled by that class of engine, has proven very cons plicated piece of machinery.
 The yacht was moored at the Hem street wharf, and for several days Ward was noticed sizing her up and with an apparent longing desire to board her. Between 8 and 9 o'clock Saturday morn ing he again appeared on the wharf, ac- companied by Albert Kaufman, and with all the dignity of an owner he boarded the trim launch, not daunted by the pres ence of the revenue cutter Hamilton, which is lying within short distance of the Earl's mooring. His mechanical eye soon unraveled the mysteries of MT. Reeds complicated motor, and after flooding every oil hole with lubricator, Ward commanded Kaufman, whom he
  stand by the wheel He acted as engi- neer and deftly manipulated the various valves, levers and cocks until he got her under way
 The Earl was soon headed down stream and the boys, being ignorant of maritime rules and regulations, narrow ly escaped being run down by number of tugs and excursion boats and also threatened to sink several vessels. They, however reached Lincoln park without mishap, and then lay to for short time. Henry w. Reed, accompanied by his | engineer, came over to Camden about 5 | o'clock Saturday afternoon for the pur- | pose of taking spin up the river on tho | Earl. To say they were surprised upon reaching the wharf and finding her miss | ing would only be a mild expression of | their dismay. They learned that several workmen around the wharf had seen two boys take the boat and head it down stream early i'm the morning.
 The police tub Stokeley was quickly en- listed, and when the Stoke1ey finally found the Earl it was the signal for a hot chase. The boys aboard the boat appear ed to realize that the police boat was after them and they ran the Earl over a zigzag course about the river, covering twelve knots an hour and running in and out of coves and across bars where the Stokeley could hot follow owing to her deep draught. The chase was kept up for over an hour, the police repeatedly calling to the boys to come to and blow ing the tugs whistle to it's utmost ca pacity. The end came at last and the boys were put under arrest and they and the yacht brought back to this city.

A New Jersey Boy Who Has an Expensive
 Mama for Studying Motors New York Journal.
 Benjamin Ward, 19 years old, of Cam den, N J., who appears to be a well de- veloped crank on steam launches, is again in the clutches of the police. His weakness for running launches and ''studying'. the mechanism of the motors has got him into serious trouble at last, and he is now safely anchored behind the bars of jail cell, committed on charge of grand larceny.
 Several weeks ago the lad robbed his father of nearly $500. After taking the money the first step he made was to pur- chase the steam launch Comrades. He didn't hurry about taking her away from Cooper's Point, but spent several days in overhauling her machinery. He gave S750 for the launch, but the greater DOT lion of the money was refunded after his arrest. which occurred just as he was

ALABAMA.

The voter referred to was no doubt a Etaunch member of some church and hesitated long before he essayed "the casting of the lot" The Union Springs Herald says:
 One of the oldest voters in this pre- clnct was in doubt as to whom he would vote for in the recent primary Tor the office of county treasurer. TWO cahul- dates were his special friends and me dlu mot like to vote against eithers so he LOOK a dollar and cast it up, calling heads or tails" In this way he made his decision, and says it is the first time he ever cast lots for anything.
 The man who is in earnest about sui eide seldom makes much fuss over it. But this instance, reported by the Long, shores mills correspondent of the Col linsville Clipper, it would seem, is an ex- ception to the rule:
 A man of this place one night last week read a chapter in the Bible, sang hymn and said prayer, made his will, then secured a rope and started for the woods through the dark, saying that he was going to hang himself. The screams Of his family caused the neighbors to come in haste and the hanging was omitted. He is a member of the Baptist church. We hold his name and hope he may never make the attempt again.
 But there were no new women at 1t. The Nicholson correspondent of the Col linsville Clipper writes:
 The quilting at Mrs. Frank Cooks last Friday was the most enjoyable affair lately. Such a crowd of bright, merry young folks is seldom seen.
 The country dude has the virtue of ac- commodating himself to circumstances at any rate. The Montgomery Hill corre- spondent of the Daphne Breeze attests that fact:
 There are a few Timber neck stags up here who enjoy Huylers crushed yio- lets exceedingly, but when they can't get them they compromise on peanuts at others expense.
 Heretofore 1t has been supposed that the festive and omnivorous goat, which digests anything from an oyster can to a stick of dynamite, was proof against all the ills which befall animate creation in general. But this from the Mobile Register upsets the theory:
 The unusual spectacle of a goat being unloaded from the police patrol wagon at the police station was witnessed last night Several persons living in the neighborhood of the gas works, on Davis avenue, reported to the police yesterday that a large goat, whose front name is William, was running riot in that neigh borhood and had made savage attacks on the people. After two or three inef- fectual attempts to corral his goatship the house detail was sent to the scene in the patrol wagon. The goat was cap tured and securely fastened. A physician who took look at the animal last night said that it was his belief that the goat had been bitten by maddog. The goat is fastened at the police station and the chief of police is in the position of the man with "an elephant on his hands"
 The wicked Opelika News records this cruel joke" with every manifestation of approval:
 A mean man in a neighboring town put mouse in the tool bag of his wifes bicycle and when she opened 1t to get her air pump the atmosphere got a se- rious puncture.
