| RocKBRIper BATHS, Oct. 10.-Man,
of our farmers are somewhat Gowncast
on account Of the prospect FIR fnisL-
ing wheat-sowing. For nearly two
weeks the ground in this locality has
been too wet for sowing, with the ex-
ception OF one day--Mondsy, the 18th,
and the all-day rain OF Friday follow
ed by the heavy shower Of that night.
SO completely soaked the soil that there
is no prosp ct for a favorable condi-
tion for drilling for several days. Our
seeming misfortunes, however, are
sometimes our richest blessings. The
latest sowing may prove to be our best
as fly has already made it's appearance
in the early sowed and, should the
weather continue warm, may result in
much damage.
We are fearful that another result |
of so much rain will be q great deal OF !

the most independent ofall, certainly

THAT LEPER AT JOHNS HOP.

| The Richmond Times of THURSDAY
saws:
Another young lady from Virginia
has taken the SAME ground as Miss
Douthat, and left Johns Hopkins Hos
pital, in Baltimore, because one Ct the
conditions of remaining is that all
the nurses must take the chances of
having turns at nursing the leper
whom the hospital authorities insist
upon keeping in the institution.
The young lady is Miss Cassie
Shanks, Of Lexington Va. Miss Shanks
is quite an attractive young lady, and
very intelligent. The family is one of
the best known in the lower pant of the
Valley of Virginia. She was in the |
city for several days and lef t this |
morning for Lexington.
DID NOT DENY 1T.
Miss Shanks was asked to give her
story for The Times. She did not de
ny that she had left the hospital, but
laid she preferred not to say anything
IN the subject.
From other sources, however. it is
earned that Miss Shauks went to Bal

The Republican party shows its love
for Rothchilds & Co., by selecting e
single gold standard Senator from the
State of Oregon. Mr.. Simon sounds
well in the senate.
Take away the blighting curse OF
gold standard prices by the restoring
of bimetalism and the desert places
which mark our mortgaged homes will
blossom like rose beneath the touch
OF modern energy. and the breath Of
financial liberty.
The political power that reposes be-
hind the gold standard, has no part in
the affections of the American people.
The continuance of Hannaism is An
outrage and an insult to liberty loving
freemen. The colossal monument of |
crime, which rears its dark shadow over
thousands Of our soldiers homes, is
the appropriate and fitting conclusion
OF political administration, whose
birth was ushered in through the chan
nels OF coercion and corruption, and
whose life has been one unbroken
record of weakness and decay. II
Political blackmallers are shaking
down everybody in the Police to swell
Hanna's barrel of corruption funds. In ! +
