A UNIQUE GENIUS,

There was unique genius among the
literati-he lives in Lexington now
Captain John M. Brooke, of the Mill
tary Institute. He had served seven
teen years in the United States navy
when he joined the Southern navy. His
name was known across the seas by
reason of his inventions. One day /
was at his quarters Che was bachelor),
and he pulled out common old trunk
of the value Of 50. 1t contained a
splendid sword, with jewels in the hilt,
and there was a saucer full of decorx-
tons by kings, sultans, emperors. He
made the apparatus for finding out the
character of the soil on the bottom of
the sea. If it was mud, the water Was
still and cable might be laid; if gravel,
the restless water would rasp apart the
wire strand. Much praise has been
given to Cyrus Field for the Atlantic
cable since the war, but Brooke, the
pathfinder, received no mention, He
cared not. Few in Lexington knew he
had the diamond and gold insignia.
We became friendly. He owned q
beautiful row-boat, costing hundred
dollars at Darling's, in New York. I
amused myself with pretty little steam
yacht So common pastime on the
water drew us into pleasant relations.
He at intervals made me call, and, if
in the mood, would delight me by
scientific talk. He was the most in
different person to fame I ever saw. He
had, in Confederate times, written a
work or made large report on gunnery
Che was the inventor of the Brooke
gum, which was captured In the manu-
script at the evacuation in Richmond.
A Northern professor, holding high
position, quietly published it as his own

We exchanged view 8

Captain Brooke. We exchanged views
He had called on commodore or
admiral, cowrade in other days. In
parting, the high officer took from his
wineshelf small case and passed it to
Brooke. 1t turned out to be genuine
French brandy, which the officer had
brought from Paris on his own ship.
Brooke, who cared little for such fluids
filed tiny pocket flask with the
brandy and left the balance on the
table at his hotel saying to the black
seryitor: "You never will taste any
thing like this" At which the eyes
Of the African bulged "pace to the
front" The Captain remarked to me:
"See how adulterated stuff is sold for
French brandy; for there is not perhaps
a pure article in Virginia, Now let &
few drops fall on your tongue. Keep
your mouth open. The trade brandy
will burn; this will be soft as oil and
excite general warmth" And so it
did; for there, in sight Of the psssen-
gers, we made the experiment. And
in passing, I may remark that saw a
smile on the conductors face and
merry wink here and there. What a
fine. fat old SANDER could start up like
toadstool If there had been fellow
present with enough muck and manure
in his mind to pop up this growth
Why should not man do and 60 as
seem eth fit? He is moral coward
that lodges duty for fear OF knave's
tongue. That experiment has stood
me in good stead in discussing the
liquor question. The finest are manu-
featured poisons.
A minor exhortation just here; The
man in "ordsrs," much on cars, should
90 with case OF urgent remedies. Ten
or twelve years ago I printed the story
Of the relief to the engineer who rolled
dswn the mountain in the Kanawha
country with his engine, which was
pulling the train in which DR.. Peterson
and myself were iourneying to Nash
lille. There was no doctor. He was
speechlsss. fetched out my tools.
Down his throat went gill OF the
quickest diffusive stimulant could
command in Virginia, presently fifty
drops Of laudanum, and all the while
liniment was rubbed over
the knotted muscles. I didn't have
syringe. 1 carry one now
Ministers ought to be always armed to
fight all evil.
But I haven't yet reached the chatty
features Of this old Scotch-Irish county
and college city. I will next week.

TRICK BICYCLE RIDING.

r. Shields and George T. Phillips
who are advertising a wheel performed
some very fancy trick riding on bicycles
on the street Friday, the like of which
has never been seen in any circus.
Shields claims to be the man who rode
down the steps of the Capitol at Wash
ington. Phillips dio most of the riding
whilst Shields played the part of the
cOuntryman. One of the feats per-
formed by Shields was riding his wheel
down the courthouse steps into the
street, which was truly extraordinary.

W. Il. WILSON ON EXPANSION. A."
The Dangers Ahead Of Us-The
Manifest Destiny" Argument.

Hon. William Lyme Wilson, president
of Washington and Lee University, ad-
dressed the General Assembly OF
Georgia Thursday night in the hall Of
the House Of Representatives, at At
lsnta. The members Of the House and
Senate were present and number of
invited guests. The speaker was in
troduced by Hon. HOke Smith. His
topic was Territorial Expansion" and
in discussing it he referred to the dif-
ferences always arising among Europ-
can Powers, and the entanglements the
United States is likely to get into IN
pushing herself into European territory.
He spoke of the argument that Dew
ey's victory at Manila was an act OF
Providence, and that the possession OF
the Philippines is our manifest destiny.
He ridiculed the idea Of manifest des-
tiny, and said it was the excuse Of the
thief.
On the line Of ciyilizing and Christ
ianiziug the people Of thenewly-oequir-
ed territory, he referred TO our peoples
success in handling or rather educat-
ing and civiliziDg the Indians, and
he spoke of the conditions in Alaska,
where people are dying by the thous-
and.
Mr.. Wilson's speech was enthusiast
cally received,

V. NJ, l., 90; st. ALBANS, 5.

One of the finest games Of the sea-
son played here so Tar, was played Sat
urday afternoon on the Iarade-ground
OF the Virginia Military Institute, be-
tween the Cadet eleven and the eleven
representing st. Adams School. Of
Radfold, Va.
The Cadets avenged their defea. Of
last year at Lynchburg at the hands Of
ST. Adams by piling up score in this
game Of % to 5.
The visiting team was composed OF
heavier N en- than the Cadets, but the
latter outclassed them in rapid work,
and waded Though their line at will.
The first touchdown was made by
the Cadets in three and half minutes
from the start. st. Albaps had the
ball but twice in the first half. They
lost it the first time on downs; the
next time just at the end of the half.
Walker, of the visiting team, made
the star play of the game and saved
his side from q shut-out. He made O
place kick to goal from the 4O-yard
line at difficult angle.
The Cadet team showed up stronger
than ever, and TO mention one as q
star would do injustice to the others,
With this victory, they are in the front
rank on the football arena, and per-
haps without superior in the Old
Dominion.
The Cadet goal-line has not been
crossed by an opposing eleven this
season, apAbhe only score made against
them hao been goals kicked from the
field.

A GOOD YIELD OF CORN.

W. A. Ruff left at our office all ear of
yellow corn of the flint variety which
has on it ,456 we'll developed grains.

yielded 100 bushels to the acre. Now,
who can beat this? Bring in your
corn.
