the rest of their time benefit mostly by
bodily torpor. They are not sco'deo,

MEN WHO TALK.
About the Politicians, tho Literary Lioni

About the Politicians, tho Literary Lions
and the Clergy.
People who have to speak in public
fall into two classes, those who make
! practice of the thing from personal
Or political ambition and those who
have public speaking thrust upon them
20 their great discontinue, says the
London News. A third class, perhaps
not worth considering here, consists OF
those clergymen who weekly travesty
into their own diluted verbiage tho
lesson Of thf aay: 4 is she supposed
that these holy men regard preaching
rs the lowest Of their functions and
unworthy of serious attention. In the
other protestant countries after the
reformation to preach became almost
the only duty OF the minister in pop;
lar estimation and for long time se}
mons occupied the place now filed Z
the press. Discourses were polite
and not unusually seditious. In
Church Of England this practice ,
Eever obtained. 1t is plain that III
masses Of the clergy think that {avf
thing Is good enough for sern {
Leaving these gentlemen to the er
Of their ways we may turn to the cla Z
who have public speaking thrust on
them. We hear them, for example, at
such functions as the dinner OF the
Royal academy or any other public
dinner. Their pale faces and abstract
I'd manner betray them. They are
thinking Of their speeches, which some
have been known to pursue in the fes-
tive hall. The neighbors blanch al

MINISTER HARRY SMYTHE RESIGNS.
Resignation Accepted With PrOmptnesS
That AStOniSheS the Gentleman.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2O,-Hon.
Harry NJ. Smythe, of Virginia, minister
to Hiatt, and charge d'affaires at San
Domingo, who returned recently on IA
sixty.day leave of absence, has resigned;
and though his leave not half expired, his
resignation has been accepted by the
Secretary of State There is something
strange about this proceeding. Nothing
could be learned regarding it at the State
Department, and as Mr.. Smythe is still in
the mountains of North Carolina, in the
vicinity of As neville, where he went to re-
cuperate, it may be some time before the
true einwardness of Mr.. .Smythe's resignation
will become known There is evidently
some mystery about it, and from the
rcticence of the State Department officials
the absolute refusal to give any reasons
for Mr.. Smythe's sudden resignation-it is
believed that there is some diplomacy Of
an important nature involved.
No appointment has yet been made of
a successor to Mr. Smythe, land it is hardly
probable that this tropical plum will fall to
any of the Virginians who are applying
for it.

vice children and2 adults were baptised
and evensong with sermon at 7.30 p. m.
All these services were well attended by
large congregations. The chancel OF the

evergreens, flowers and handsome potted-
plants, giving the building very pretty
and festive appearance. The choir was
reinforced with the kind assistance OF

A Complete Mill. ,

A few days ago the writer was at Cedar
Bluff, and was shown through the Clinch
Valley Roller Mills by Mr. w. ]. Higgin-
botham, one ofthe proprietors. We had
been told the mills we're good but had no
idea they were so excellent, Every new
piece of machinery or appliance that is
now found in modern, complete milling
establishments can be seen i'll the mills at
Cedar Bluff. AS to the power. 1t is run
by water, which turns fifty horsepower
turbine wheel, and additional power can
be added if necessary.
The machinery consists of a Monitor
Separator, manufactured by the Henley
Manufacturing Co., of Solver Creek, n.
Y, three Gorton Purifying Flour Dress
ers, Prince Dust Collector, three stands
of Norish Rolls, three Gorton Busters, one
Whitmore Purifier, one -four packer, 10
elevators for carrying stock to any part
of the mill, and innumerable smaller
machines and appliances. All of the
machinery is of the highest quality, and
the result is the manufacture of five grades
of flour by the firm that stand almost unri-
vailed in the markets We mentioned the
'Invincible' fancy patent brand and
the Gree Silver, ''Pride of the Valley
and" Rising Sum-" All of these brands
are highly praised by those who have used
them. The mills are also thoroughly
equipped with burrs for grinding meal and
chop. The capacity of the establishment
is 80 barrels of flour and 200 bushels of
corn day. Mr.. ], II. Kirby, member
of the firm, is in charge Of the mechanical
part of the mills and knows all about it, as
he put in the machinery. He evidently,
understands his business. The output of
the mills is readily sold, and the only
serious trouble the proprietors have
is securing grain. They have to send to
other counties and states for the most they
they use. Our farmers are making seri-
ous mistake in not raising more wheat and
corn. Too much money is sent out of tie
