her vast resources touched by the

the log houses that formerly served

elegant churches and school houses;
coke ovens have taken the places of

before they had finished one of them

SroNEGA, Va, Aug. 15.-After a
most exciting and remarkable trip of
eight days Miss Mamie Jackson, OF
Natchez, Miss, arrived safely in Sto-

The remarkable part of it is that
it took so long to reach here from

Miss Jackson left Natchez, Miss, on

journey by the Va. d. 5. W. X. r. on
the afternoon Of that day. On
Wednesday morning the attaches Of
the hotel informed her that she
could not get into stonsga, and re-
galed her with the most bloodhound
ling stories, advising her to return to
Natchez as quickly as possible, and
hurrying her off SO rapidly that she
had not time to think, and in the
hurry left a couple of capes and her
shawl strap. In the meantime she
had telegraphed her friends in Sto-
mega that they could meet her, but
before the telegram reached here the
train was bearing her back to her
starting point. The friends took
every precaution to surround her
with safeguards ell route from Bris-
tol and went to the train on ar
rival to greet her, but she did not
come. a telegram from Natchez
first came enquiring in Mamie had
arrived, and the wires were kept hot

at both ends of the line were in a
fever OF anxiety, and all this trouble
caused by an lntermeddling Of peo-
pie who by their position as caters to
the travelling public are supposed to
protect instead of mislead their
guests. Well, on her arrival home
and finding that she had been SO
miserably fooled, she again started
from Natchez on Saturday morning
and arrived on Sunday evening in

A Summer Idyll.

On tie river, on the river,
While the sun is shining fair,
With the swallows Swimming swiftly
Through the fragrant summer air,
With the lazy, lazy tapping
OF the waves against the boat,
Mingling with the joyous carol
From a hidden catbird's throat,
On the shining, sunlit river,
Where the rushes bend and sway,
And the gentle wind comes whispering
OF old friends far away,
Where the river mirrors quantity
In its depths the sky's own blue
| am floating on its bosom
Dreaming dreams, my sweet, OF you.
