GENERAL LEES BIRTHDAY.

Last Sunday, the 10Th, was the an
niversary of the birth of General R. E..
Lee. AS it was the Sabbath, appro-
pirate services were held in somesef the
churches, notably in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, of this city;
but Monday was observed by the
banks and many business houses. ae
wella by 1.-THE closing of the public
schools. Our reverence for the day,
which brought forth in Virginia /" son.
whose career has done more to en-
noble soutberp .sanhood than that OF
anv ntAcr man who has yet lived, has
never been dimmed; nor will things
present, nor things to come nor
height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, drive away that veneration
which every true son of the South
feels for that leader of cause. in
which those who fought, regret moth
ING save that it was lost.
Feeling The deepest reverence, but
without words to express our estimate
of his character, we lay upon his tomh
not onr ewn- wreath but a few
leaves from cne placed there, by the
morning Chronicle, of Halifax, Nova
Scotia, on the 14th Of Oct. 1870. the
day after General Lee died.
Quoting from Mort d'Arthur, of Sir
-Thomos Mallory, that Journal said:-
ga Sir Lancelot, thou vert, the head
of all Christian Knights; and now
dare say, said Sir sEctor, there Sir
Lancelot, there, thou lest, that thou
vert never matched of earthly
knights hand; and thou vert the
courtliest knight that ever bore
shield; and thou vert 1.-The .kindllest
man that ever strake with sword; and
thou vert the goodliest person that
ever came among press OF knights; and
thou vert the meekest man and the
gentlest that ever ate in hall among
ladies; and thou vert the sternest
knight to thy mortal foe, that ever put
spear in rest"
WITH reverence dAu ICSiOO We AS
peat to-day Sir Ector's words OF sor-
row for the great Sir Lancelot, and
apply them to the man who died
yesterday, the noblest knight OF our
generation. The hero of the Ar
thurian legions, as he lay dead in
Joyous Gard, with the record of his
life made splendid by great deeds,
might have revived other than kindly
or ennobling recollections, in the
mourners mind, for the wronged king,
and the breaking up of the goodly
fellowship of the Round Table, could
not be forgotten, but lay, like shadows,
upon the dead knight. But in ia
life of Robert Edward Lee, there was
no reproach of man or woman; his
deeds were dimmed by no wrong done
or duty unfulfilled; there was nc
stain upon his honor and no upright
eous blood upon his hands. He was
indeed, a good knight, noble of heart
and strong of purpose, and both {
soldier and a gentleman"

THE d. d. & Il. INSTITUTION.

the House Committee on Prisons and
Asylums has received letter from a
man in Norfolk named Randolph, who
has made serious charges of immortality
against the teachers!in the Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Institution in this city, stat
ing in fine that the chastity of female
pupils was imperiled by being placed
there.
Enquiry about Mr.. Randolph who
claims that both he and his wife were
educated at that Institution reveals
the fact that he left the Institution
some six years ago, and has not been
there since. His wife who would be
more likely to know what the periis of
females at the Institution were has
made no charges. These charges are
news to the people Of Staunton and to
us who live within stones throw OF
the Institution, and who have a per-
sonal acquaintance with the Principal
and every teacher, and nearly every
employee, they come like clap of
thunder in a clear sky. Without wish
ing to do anybody injustice, wei feel
warranted in saying that whenever the
facts are known, they will reveal not
only as good state of morals there as
at any similar institution in the land,
aud that the attack grows out OF mali
ciousness, cupidity or some motive. 9TH
er than desire to cleanse the institu
ton of impure persons, or elevate the
morals of its pupils.
The Principal, Capt. Thos. s. Doyle,
lives in the building with his family.
He has about him corps of as refined
females as ever graced a home, much
less public school like this, and that
such state of morals exists there as is
insinuated is absolutely preposterous.
Then, too, what has sealed the lips of
this philanthropist these sig long
years?

Travels of a Bullet.

r. H. Campbell of the Madras civil
corps tells Of an incident which came
under his official notice as magistrate Of
Hosan, Madras. A European was hunt
ing black buck on hillside when he
got shot with his Martini Henry COM
bine. The result Of the shot taught him
a lesson about the dangers Of long range
bullets.
In valley 800 yards away, beyond
two rather high hills and little pond,
native was standing with his head
bowed and hands clasped behind his
back. The bullet broke the wrist Of his
hand. In the investigation that followed
the course Of the bullet was traced &C
curately. In firing at the antelope the
bullet had hit a stone on the hillside
and gone bounding end over end over
the first hill. At the next hill another
place where the bullet struck was found
Here the bullet leaped up into the air
almost perpendicularly, and when it
came down in the ricefield it hit the
mans wrist, broke the bone, cut a cash
in his body, then dropped TO the ground
a spent ball. The most dangerous bullet,
save the one in SO called ism t-loaded-
gun. is the one that goes ricocheting
through the air.-New York Sun.

Adam FERGUSON.

Adam Ferguson, afterward professor
of history in the University Of Edin-
burgh and author of a once popular his
tory of the Roman republic, in his
youth was chaplain of the Black Watch,
and with it was present at Fontenoy.
When the regiment was advancing into
action, Sir Robert Munro, the colonel,
noticed his chaplain at the head Of the
column with drawn broaGsword in his
hand and ordered him TO the rear with
the doctors.
Ferguson refused, and when the colo
mel, in the alteration which ensued
threatened TO have his commission can
celed, replied, Dbl my commission I"
Then charging at the head Of his flock,
he fought like gallant Scotsman dur
ing the bloody fray. We doubt not that
the stout Munro forgave his insubordi-
nation for the sake of his valorous ex-
ample, and that the stern old Presbyte-
rians in the ranks would appreciate his
subsequent ministrations none the less
that they had seen him in time of trial
play the man in their midst. Black

the Parisians I ind worse patois

between their language and that Of the
long lost Jean Bap;iste is one Of accent
more than Of wcrds. The French Cana
dian speech is thicker, coarser and less
finicking than the French. One Of the
most striking differences occurs in
multitude of words ending III "ais,"
such as jamais, avais, which are pro-
nounced jana, ava, and SO ON, ever
by educated Canadians who write per-
feet French. When the ancestors OF
Jean Baptiste sailed from northern
France these words were spelled jamois,
avois, and the pronunciation has not
changed with the photography. In some
proper names, such as Beauharnois,
even the spelling remains unaltered.

DETROIT. July 90 = The Democratic
state central committee yesterday after
noon declined 10 accept the resignation Of
Its chairman, Elliott G. Stevenson, and
called the state nominating convention to
he held at Bay City Aug 70. Although
Chairman Stevenson who is the law part
ner of Don NJ Dickinson has been a
radical advocate of the gold standard
policy and still emphatically deprecates
what he terms the outrage of unseating
some OF the Michigan gold standard dele
gates 10 the Chicago convention, he ac-
cepts the platform and candidates decreed
by the national convention and declares
that, being Democrat, he will do his
whole duty In waging vigorous cam
paign in Michigan for the success of the
party's nominees ond its declared policies.
1t Is arranged that the Populist and the
new Silver party conventions will be held
in Bay City on the same day as the Demo
cratic convention, and it is expected that
fusion of the three parties on one ticket
will be accomplished. This is considered
TO be necessity by the silver men, as a
state law enacted by the last (Republican)
legislature provides that the name of any
candidate cannot appear on more than one
ticket
The opposition to retaining Chairman
Stevenson was not especially strenuous in
the meeting. although some prominent
free silver men on the outside declared
that silver men who voted for Stevenson
were misrepresenting their constituents,
and went home greatly chagrined at the
result Stevenson had previously ex-
pressed his willingness TO resign in favor
Of w. r. Burt of Saginaw, or Fred A.
Baker, of Detroit. Both the latter are
prominent silver leaders and Baker was
willing to accept.
