Glass Tonnbstonea.

1t is comparatively new idea to put
up tombstones and monuments Of glass,
instead of marble or granite, but it is a
practical one and likely to meet with
great encouragement from those who
desire these memorials to DO lasting.
Glass resists the elements and is to all
lntents and purposes indestructible.
Stone of all sorts crumbles and disintc-
CRATES under the action of the elements.
But glass remains and Will endure for
centuries. 1t is, therefore, proposed that
all memorial tablets, monuments and
headstones be made of glass. Any color
may be selected, pure white, of course,
having the first choice. Lettering may
be put on i'll any style, aud any device
or pattern may be used. 1t has long
been understood that for Murine pur-
poses thick plate glass is the only prac-
ucal aud appropriate material, resisting
storms and seas us no other substance
can. New York Ledger.

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

The American people this year have had
enough Fourth of July celebrations to
last them for twelve months ut least The
anniversary of the declaration of indie
pendence coming on Sunday this year
the celebration was in most places post
poned until Monday; but west of the Mis-
sissippi, wherever the foreign element
predominated, the iubilation was not
postponed. The Fourth itself, though
coming on Sunday, was celebrated as
such, and picnics, beer. drinking, speak
ing and other incdentals OF the occasion
went on from morning until far into the
night, tic be continued in some cases,
where there was surplus OF patriotism,
until Monday night. Reports from all
parts of the country show, however, IL
general observance of Yesterday as the
anniversary, and the ardor and enthusi.
asm with which the people everywhere
entered into the celebration proves con
clusively that there is no discount upon
the patriotism of the American people:
but that as the memories OF the late civil
war grow DINNER and the reunion of n
great country becomes more firmly estab
Esned, the people of all sections are united
in honoring the day, made memorable by
the forefathers OF the Southern as well as
of the Northern people. This fa:t is "A

BIRDS AND DISEASE.
An Authority Who Thinks Birds Incapa-

An Authority Who Thinks Birds Incapa-
bio of Carrying Contagion.
Persons interested in birds have re-
Gently been debating the question
whether these creatures arc capable of
contracting diseases from human beings
or of transmitting disease to human be-
ings. Expert opinion seems to be di-
vided. On the one hand Dr. X. Ruff,
director Of Geferderte Welt, i'll q recent
letter to the president of the Acclima-
ton society. asserts that the transmits
sion of any disease from bird to u
man and vice versa is absolutely impos-
sible. Says DR.. Ruff:
For more than 80 years I have been
occupied in keeping, observing and
raising exotic birds of plumagc; conse-
quently have had occasion to deal with
them when i'll. Every bird that has died
has been examined, and / have thus dis
sected during about 80 years several
hundred parukects. l have always kept
these birds during their illness, some
times for considerable period, iii my
apartment which is somewhat restrict
ed i'll size, being composed of only six
rooms for four grown persons and four
children. During all this period have
not had a single case of sickness in my
family, although the birds have had all
possible kinds of maladies 1 am also
confirmed i'll my belief by the fact that
1 have allowed no opportunity to pass
of asking for information OH the subject
from the principal dealers in birds at
Hamburg, Cologne, London, liverpool,
Antwerp, Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Mar
settles and Bordeaux whenever they had
sick birds i'll considerable numbers In
no case was I informed that any one,
either member of the family OF an en-
ployee, had been attacked in the house of
one of these merchants, and obtained
the same information from the directors
of the great geological gardens Mt Paris
and London. No contagion-and l can
not insist too strongly on this point
could ever be established.
These, however, arc all negative facts
and would fail to stand against even
one authenticated case of the transmits
sion of disease to or from pet birds.
Such cases, it is believed, have been
proved TO exist by DR.. Laboulbene, who
communicates All account of his investi-
cations to the bulletin of the Acclima-
ton society.

date for governor of Georgia or for any

was, he said, at an end, and the balance
of his days would be devoted to teaching
the people of the North and the South to

q SOHliuOu flOblNt, lCOtu IraCCr-
nal ancestors, are marching forward to
transform what was once the wilds of
North America into garden, blessed
with the fruitage of their toll and glad
dened by the productions of their genius
Here seems Ordained to be the highest
civilization, so far witnessed among the
nations of the world, and IF the despots
of Europe and Asia could have seen the
great panorama in America on Sunday
and Monday last, they would have tren-
bled at the progress liberty is making,
and lead the final breaking up of their
power and usurpations in the marching
of millions of stalwurt American citizens
bent on celebrating the birthday of free
dom, regardless of the heat or all oppos-
ing physical cund itions.
In the general jubilation yesterday
Roanoke, the Magic City of the South
west, was no exception to the rest of the
country, except that as IL Southern COM
munity she furnished an object lesson
which all would do we'll to Lear in mind.
From early morning men, women and
children in holiday attire began to gather
on the business streets and before 10
O'Clock there WAS on Jefferson, Henry
and Commerce streets, and on Salem,
Campbell, Church and otker avenues II
moving mass of happy faces frightened
with ar array of colors, that, with the
flags, bunting and other decorations dis
played throughout the city, made up such
picture of life and energy as has sci.
dom before bean seen here. When the
march of the procession Iegan, with .he
long lines of men in regalia, on horses
and in carriages, the military companies,
the two bands OF music and the drum
corps, there was an outburst of enthus-
asm most inspiring to witness and we'll
calculated to show that in all the Gle.
ments of true patriotism and sensible en-
joyment there is no city of it's size in the
whole Of this country ahead of Roanoke
After the parade had marched through
the principal thoroughfares and the vast
crowd of participants and on COOKERS had
congregated in Carr's woods, the day WAS
devoted to feasting. speaking music and
other pleasures incident to such occa-
sions. Ma, or Andrews, Congressman
Peter j. Otey. and w. X. Alexander, of
Winchester were the chief orato. 8,
although local talent twas not in any re.
spect lacking. Indeed, when all things
are duly considered, the work of those in
charge of the celebration was really woa
derful, and was a surprise to those well
acquainted with the cordial cooperation
of Roanoke citizens, where the interests
and reputation of the municipality are at
stake. Never before have such efforts
been more successful, considering the
aims and purposes of the celebration, and
the various committees in charge deserve
the congratulations and thanks of all the
people for the high degree of credit with
which they sustained the claims CT our
citizens for enterprise and progressive
ness
