Virginia politics, one thing can be
predicted with little risk, and that is
the reelection of Hon. John w.
Daniel to the United State Senate, -
says ex Senator Marshall Nee ormick,
of Berryville, Virginia: II do not
think" he continued, THAT there is
the slightest doubt that Senator
Daniel will be chosen to succeed
himself. The people are with him,
regardless of what he thinks about
silver or anything else. They know
him to be true man, and sincere in
his advocacy of all public questions

The Norfolk Virginian was thirty
two years old last Sunday and, in
noting the fact, we would be un-
grateful if we did not acknowledge
with thanks the pleasure it daily
gives us and cordially commend it to
the favor of our readers. 1t deserves
1.-The generous patronage of the pub
public which, in making the an
nouncement of its age, it so gracefully
acknowledges it now enjoys, and
which it must continue to receive
from Virginians, both because of it's
merit as a reliable newspaper and
its earnest devotion under all cir
cumstances to their interests.

EFFECT IN OTHER DISTRICTS.

There were similar irregularities in
the returns from almost every dis
trict in the State. The entire demo
cratic vote for congressman in Ac-
comac was sent in accredited to
William A. JONES'" while the official
ballot bore the name w. A. Jones.
This took 3,29S from Congressman
Jones' vote, but even this large num-
Der was not sufficient to change the
result. In the same district Walter
B. Tyler lost his fredericksburg vote
of 400, because Of the fact that the
returns were sent in in the name of
w. B. Tyler.
The Ninth district returns were in
such irregular shape as to cut

Matters According to the pontateuob.

There Is no mention of mules in the Pentateueh. Such breeding was contrary to tho law, but the Aasyrian scnln,nres ln later times, giye flgurel of mnles and they aip noticed ia later books of the Bible (Eaokiel xvii, 14: Zecbariah xiv, l5). Nor arc domestic fowls mo- tlced, though known in Palestine in ina time of Christ and represented on cylin- defs of the Persian period. There is no mention of tho citron, which is native 60 Media, but which was only known ln the Persian period ill Palestine. Cot ton { Esther i, 0 and silk Ezekiel xvi lO) arc alike unnoticed in inc Tarah but occur in later books, while flax, one or the most ancient materials in Asia and Ill Europe, is so noticed.

 The Hebrews do not appear to have used horses before the time of Solomon, but the Canaanites had horses and char iots, which are noticed monumentalIy between roo and HOO B. C., as well as later. The Egyptians also had char iots loEg before the Exodus, Trading caravans, such as led Joseph to Egypt are noticed in the fifteenth century B.

How to Make a Handle Stick.

Handles will get loose, do what you will, says The Wheel, and some time or other they will part company with the bar. Forty ways to cement them on have been exploited as many different times in the columns of the wheel pa pers, but the average sticker on of han dles makes the mistake of smearing the cement over the handle bar instead of placing it inside the handle, the conse- quence being that the handle when forced on, pushes up the cement, which forms in an unsightly ring round the end of the hondle. The proper way is to melt littIe cement, pour it into the mouth of the handle while the latter is being reyolved, so as to make it run round, warm the end of the handle bar, but not sufficiently to injure the cork or cellnloid, and push the handle on. The handlr bar will thus tend to carry the cement farther in, and there will be none visible round the outside -Ex- change.

The Roers.

The Boers are race of hunters. as well as pastoralists, and the Transvaal Boers especially have been engaged in a war of exterminatien (lamentable to the lover of animal life) against every spe- cies of wild beast. Numbers of them have been occupied ever since boyhood in the hunting of elephants, buffaloes, lions, rhinoceroses and other heavy game. They have practically exterminat- ed the elephant south of the Zambezi, and the buffalo is becoming very scarce. No man who understands South African hunting can pretend to say that the chase of these animals is not danger ous one, requiring the highest qualities of nerve and courage. I will not say that the average Boer hunter will, by way of recreation, face the lion single handed in the way that the great Eng fish hunters-Selous, Oswell, Vardon, Gordon Cumming. Baldwin and others have accustomed us to- Few hunters, indeed, are so quixotie. The Boer trea S the lion as dangerous yermin, if possi- ble obtains help from his fellows, and as matter of business stays him by a volley. But hundreds of Boers ha- : slain lions single handed, and hundre
 have been mauled and even killed by lions. s.-London Globe.

Pickett and the British.

Ill one of the most serious disputes the United States has had with Great Britain over boundary question Vir- ginian bore the most prominent part in preventing British encroachment We refer to the San Juan island incident
 The Virginian was Captain George E.
 Pickett of the United States army, aft erward General Pickett of the Cenfed- crate army. In 1856, during the disa- greement anent the northwest boundary, Captain Pickett, with 60 men, was or dered to occupy the island, and Sir James Douglass sent three British war ships to eject him from his position.
 Pickett bade defiance to this show of force, threatening to fire upon any troops that attempted to land from the vessels and clash of arms was only prevented by the timely arrival of the British admiral, by whose orders tAe matter of endeavoring to take possession of the island vi ct armis was postponed. Subsequently Pickett was re-enforced and the danger of hostilities blew over. For his conduct on this occasion Captain Pickett was highly complimented by General Harney, and the legislature of Washington territory passed resolutions of thanks to him. Richmond Dispatch.

Fun For Bank Clerks.

A London merchant has portrait of himself engraved on his checks so that when he pays bill his creditor has the satisfaction If gazing upon the counter felt presentnent of the payer. These checks go to different towns and pass through various banks and clearing houses.
 When the gentleman who thus adver- tises himself has his deposit book settled at the end of the month and gets back his cancelled checks, it is question whether he is pleased or vexed.
 The portrait on each and every check is ornamented i'll a manner that is, to say the least, startling, and the more banks the check has passed the greater the change.
 The first clerk through whose hands the paper passes will adorn the picture with fierce mustache, the next will add beard, the next pair of gogg les, and the next may change the aqhiline nose to q retrousse.
 All the changes capable of being made are rung, and by the time the check gets back tho self advertiser doesn t recog- nize his own photograph. London Tit Bits
