Meath Virginia sod.
Mr. Wise is @ brilliant man, and his
impulses are generous. In saying this
harsh thing. therefore about his native
state and its people he not only does
them n great wrong. but wrongs himself
as well. lie has advertised himself 70 the
world as man who. having made his

his way to cast slur upon his mother
state and her children. Mr.. Wise is a
better man than that. and in making
this statement which IS in no sense
borne out by tho fscts, he has done him-
self more harm than he has done to Viz
