Now THAT the inmates of the "Dl-
vision" in Washington have been driv-
en- out of that refuge by the truly good
busy bodies, ana have scattered
throughout that city, some of them
having settled even in the most FASH
ionable parts Thereof, their new neigh
bors are protesting against their prox-
unity. But as the poor wretches can t
live in the streets, and must have shelf
er somewhere, they get it where they
can. Of course in their new abode
they are brought in contact with more
reputable girls, and as they are IN
known and are on their good behavior,
they not unnaturally make acqualnt-
ances among the latter, upon whom
their influence can not be otherwise
than most injurious. In this, as in
every other case, fools do a great deal
more harm than rascals.

Correspondence Oh LUG nieAanurls 1azette.J
WASHINGTON, April 4.
Thieves entered the Capitol last night
and ransacked the desk of Senator
QUAY in search of papers Which they
failed to find. The senator believes the
thieves were looking for his private cor
respondence. The file case, which has
always during the day been open, bore
tial,'' Senatorial, Pa. Legislature, !"
&C., and these may have aroused the
cupidity of some one. The experience
of Senator Quay has proven to him that
the Capitol is no safe place in which to
leave private papers. For this reason
only this week he removed to his resi-
dence all his private correspondence
and papers. 1t was this that Mr.. Quay
supposes the thieves were searching
for. When Mr.. Quay was chairman of

One of the Dclks Gang Captured.

ATLANTA, Ga, April 4.-One of the
Delks boys was captured near Senoia,
Ga, this morning. Posses from Pike
county surrounded the houses of the
relatives of the Delks, and while
the leader of the gang was not cap
tured, the one who has been caught is
supposed to have had hand in killing
Sheriff Gwynn. There is great excite.
ment in this county and Pike over the
capture.

Two AT least of the New England
congressman have done well during
the prevalence of the existing lingo
craze. Senator Morrill, OF Vermont and,
strange as it may seem, Representative
Boutelle of Maine. The former says,
if this country must assume the role of
bully, it should select nation of its
own size as the one with whom to play
it, and the latter, that while this gov
eminent is incompetent to attend
properly to it's own affairs, it is attempt
ing to manage those of the whole world.

The A. P. AS. or rather some of

and the captain of the new vessel, Com
mander Leary, is of Irish extraction!

THOUGH THE populist party in Vir-

five of the men who used to fit about the
State as its self appointed leaders, met
in Richmond last night, and, like the
three famous London tailors, resolved
that the party is still alive, and that it
will run congressional candidates in
every district Of the State next fall.
Well, it did them some good to do so,
and did nobody else any harm.

WRGINIA'S LUCKY STONES.
Curious Crystals Which Tradition Says

Curious Crystals Which Tradition Says
Came from tho Tears OF Fairies.
The queer cross-shaped crystals OF
eilicate that are known TO the inhab-
itants OF Virginia as fairy stones have
long puzzled the most noted biologists
OF the world. just why sillcate should
crystllize is the first problem that con-
fronts them, and the second is why the
capitalization should always assume
the form of cross.
Ii is only in one part of Virginia that
these stones are found. Patrick county

Virginian has sent TO some friend or
neighbor for n specimen, for they are
supposed 10 be lucky stone.
Indeed, no self-respectiug citizen of
the Old Dominion will be found with n
rnbbits foot in his possession nova
days, and he must have fairy stone
for mascot. The legend which gives
these little crystals such a reputation
for luck is not only old, but is quantity
beautiful.
When the crucihxion took place the
fairies of that particular section of Vir-
einia were overwhelmed with grief, and
their tears in falling crystallized into
tiny crosses. For many years the fairy
stones have been the particular mascots
or Patrick county citizens. and it was
only by accident that the fame of the
emhlems has spread.
\ few months ago certain Col. Prop
per went into the mountains of that
county on prospecting tour, and while
there put up at "a farmhouse. He no.
t'ced that all the people about the place
were wearing irregular cross-shapcd
crystals, and on asking found out the
significance of the custom. lie secured
one. and within few days struck n
bonanza.
Shortly after the gallant colonel APP
leared in Washington. his studs, cuff
buttons and scarfpins al made of fairy
stones. congressman and even grave
senator's badgered him for q mascot, ,
lut only favored few secured the COW
ted lucky stones. The fairy stones ,
