Mr.. j. w. Shepherd, q well known
and highly esteemed citizen of Clarke
county, Va, died suddenly at the
breakfast table of his brother-in-law,
Mr.. E. A.. Colston, near Summit
Point, on Monday of last week, aged
about 81 years. The deceased was
a brother of Rev. II. B. Shepherd,
and a cousin of Mr.. John t. CoIston,
of this vicinity, whom he occasionally
visited. When q young man he en-
listed for service in the war against
Mexico, and was drawing q pension
at tho time of his death for such SER
vice. He was also an ex-Confeder-
ate veteran, being a member of the
18th Virginia Cavalry, and in the
great cavalry action at Brandy Sta
ton, in 1868, was shot in the cheek,
losing an eye, from which wound
he suffered much at times in after
years. He was appointed postmas-
ter of Berryville during Mr.. Cleye-
lands first administration, and per
formed its duties honestly and with
general satisfaction.

Has Enormous Power. Though She Never

AS a matter of fact, says the London
Tit~Bits, our sovereigns have rarely
taken any active part in politics since
George HIS time, but they could still
do some very astonishing things IL they
chose. The queen could dismiss every
Tommy Atkins in our army, from the
commander in chief to the youngest
drummer boy. She could disband the
navy in the same way, and sell all our
ships, stores and arsenals to the first
customer that came along. Acting en-
tirely on her own responsibility, she
could declare war against any foreign
country, or make present to any for
eign power of any part of the empire.
She could make every man, woman and
child in the country a peer of the realm,
with the right, in the case of males who
arc of age, to q seat in the house OF
lords. With single word she could
dismiss any government that happened
to be in power, and could, it is believed,
pardon and liberate all the criminals in
our jails. These are few of the things
the queen could do IL she liked; but it is
not necessary TO say that her majesty
never acts in matters of state, except on
the advice of the government for the
time being

Persian carpets, of course, are still,
as they have always been, superior in
beauty and durability to all others. but
their expcnsiveness disqualifies them
from competition with Indian, Turk
ish and British fabrics aud places them
IN the catogary of those exceptionally
costly articles de luxe" in the posses
sion of which only the very wealthy
may rigiItfuily indulge themselves. \
few years ago. at the sale of the Goupil
collection in Paris. the equivalent in
french currency of SC coo was paid for
one square OF ''old Persian" measuring
seven feet by six. and several others of
small size were eagerly snapped up at
from s., 500 to $4,000 apiece. For an ex-
elnplifcation of the lasting capacities
we may quote Sir Murdoch Smith, who
states that floor of the principal pa
wilton of the Chebei Stun palace at
Ispahan Is covered with superb car
pet, Etill in fine condition, which has
been in continuous use for 800 years
that is, ever since the time of Shah Alb
has, who reigned toward the close of
the 10th century. Even at the present
day In Persia itself as much as 81 900 Is
