Thos. a. Brewer For Recorder.

1t gives us peculiar pleasure to
announce the above gentleman for
City Recorder, for a two fold reason
his qualification for the place,
and his cIeverhess,
Mr.. Brewer has been a successful
business man here for many years,
as the junior partner of Sharpe &
Brewer, and has shown business
qualifications equal to the best, and
during his residence here has made
friends by the score-in fact we
doubt if single business man in
town has as few enemies as Mr..
Tom Brewer.
MIR. Brewer served one term in
the city council and was always on
hand at roll call and his vote in the
deliberations of this body, was for
progress and the improvement of
our city.
If you are looking for capable
man to fill the above place and wish
to reward a good staunch Demo-
crat, Mr.. Brewer fills the bill to a
dot.
We ask the party to consider his
claims well, before casting their
votes in the primary or convention
to be held.

each lay on the ground apparently
lifeless.
A hurried examination by the sur
geon revealed wounds of terrible
nature. McCarty's right thigh had
been shattered, while the bullet
from his pistol had pierced Mordecai's
abdomen.
The duel took place on Wednes-
day, and on Friday Mordecai died,
peritonitls having set in, while Nc
Carly was confined to his bed desper-
ately i'll. The seconds were arrested
and lodged in Jail, where they re-
mained for six weeks. At the end
of that time, McCarty, having parti-
ally recovered, was placed on trial.
All concerned declined to testify
except DR.. Mcguire. McCarty was
convicted and sentenced to pay a
fine of $500, as well as serve a sem
tence of six months in Jail. He paid
the fine, but was pardoned few days
later by Governor Kemper, on the
statement of physicians that he
would die if confined.
Since that day to the time of his
death McCarty was miserable man.
He avoided women, and was inclined
to shun all mankind. He re- entered
the newspaper field, doing work on
Washington, Richmond, New York
and Alexandria papers.
He achieved greatest fame as editor
of the Campaign" published during
the "readjuster days" of Virginia,
when his utterances were so violent
that it seemed that he would be
challenged to another duel. OF late
McCarty had done no regular work.
Miss Triplett married Captain
Phillip Haxail short time after the
duel, having declared that she would
marry the first man who next courted
her. She died suddenly of heart
desease few years ago. To the last
she was leader of society.

IN order to avert duel that McCarty
and Mordecai were to be strangers to
each other ever after. The matter,
however, weighed upon the minds of
both, and when some time later
Mordecai met McCarty in the cafe
of the Richmond Club he was in a
mood for a quarrel. The men had
been drinking and soon a dispute
arose. Mordecai struck McCarty in
the face, knocking him down.
The blow was not returned, for
when McCarty, calm and cool, de-
clared that blood only could avenge
the insult, all present understood
what must follow. A challenge was
sent by McCarty and promptly ac-
cepted. 1t was to be duel 10 the
death. The spot selected was near
Oakwood Cemetery, where sleep the
remains of twenty thousand Confed-
crate soldiers.
On beautiful afternoon in Nav,

chosen. Mordecai was accompanied

"But you refuse to marry me-" he

"And why?" she asked, with the

for you not to make you miserable.
Nothing could be more unselfish
than my action. You are poor. You
could not supply me with those lux
uries that l crave, and the fact that
you had to deny them to me would
make you unhappy. The greater
your love the more wretched you
would be in such circumstances, and
it is to save YOU from this unhap-

Life is naught but sun and shadow,
Something like an empty dream,
For there can be no real pleasure
In this world that we live in.
But happier thought comes to US
There's world beyond the grave,
Where there never comes a sorrow,
Only joy viii go that way.
oh! what happy promise,
God has given in his Word;
There is JOY for all who seek it
In that higher, brighter world.
For time we stop and wonder,
Wonder, what we are here for2
God will show us if we ask Him,
Do His will, there's nothing MORE"
Friends will meet and friends VIII sever
In this life which we now live,
But above wo'll part, no, never,
What life, for which to live!
Let us hope that each tomorrow,
May be brighter than to-day;
Let oar life be for our Maker
Then this hope will surely stay.
Tho sometimes You feel like stopping,
Never falter, never fear,
God is always near to help you,
There's no life without Him here.
Oil this life will soon be over
And how joyful it will be,
If we know we're done our duty,
In that bright, happy country
Where there never will be parting,
Never be a single tear,
And whore Jusus reigns forever;
That is life, with Jesus there.

caring nothing for his manners or
appearance before wife and children,
and the hands that are too white to
be spoiled by work before marriage,
are generally to indolent to work af-
terwards. God help the girl who
marries a dude!
Next we have the flippant young
man who treats every subject on
earth, no matter how serious or inn
portant, with the same respect he
would show for ball game or the
newest waltz. Hespeaks of the deepest
affairs Of Church and State in the
same tone and language he would
use in describing street fight. Some
times this young fellow imagines
himself witty, but generally he is too
void OF brains to imagine anything.
To this class belongs the young man
who will speak lightly of a girls ac-
tions without fair reason for so doing,
and decry the entire sex for the sim
pie reason that he can't find one big
enough fool to admire him; these
men are generally found to be utter
ly destitute of respect to mother or
sister, and their girl friends, if they
have any, are not of a very desirable
quality. But every girl knows that
the reason man talks in this man
ner of girls is because he knows
nothing of them and can't get q
chance to find out. Isn't it so, girls!
Third, would speak of the indo-
lent young man, the fellow who can
never find any work good enough for
him to do and who folds his hands
IN scornful contempt of others who
will not allow him TO do their work
in his way and at his price; who COM
plains of and criticises his compan-
ions efforts, being incapable of doing
as we'll himself.
And last / would mention
the firt-the poor, pitiful, half.
witted little thing who knows no bet
ter than to believe that every girl
who laughs in his face is in love with
him, and hasn't the brains to distin.
guish ridicule from admiration, and
if girl insults him he is in the full
belief it proceeds from jealousy of his
attentions to some one else. This il
the 'masher," the fellow who car.
rles around pocket mirror on board
train or steamboat that he may thus
watch the actions of any young ladies
who may be near HIM and stare in.
solently into the face of every CIR
who passes him, caring nothing that
she may consider his atten tions i'm.
pertinent and disgusting in the ex.
treme and himself a dolt for show
ing them. In truth he does not think
so, he believes that her heart responds
to every look, and that admiration il
I'D her every glance, in short, he be-
lieyes that she is fully as big foo
as he is, and is only sadly mistaken

HEATHSVILLE.

The eclipse came off May
.2Sth, according to appointment,
about 9 O'Clock. From the character
of apparatus appliances for viewing
it We came to the conclusion that
Heathsville had not been put down
as government station, no appropri-
.ations having been made for anything
of that kind. But if Uncle Sam
couldn't allow appropriations for
this, he might cut off a few sand
bars and let our new steamer and
others have better ingress and egress.
SO we had to DO the best we could.
The first difficulty was in finding a
piece of glass, (the good wife has such
an aversion TO rubbish that some.
times we feel in danger of being
swept out,) not finding a piece of
broken window pane we took a fat
bottle-just an ordinary bottle
marked Il. f. r. or pain killer or
something of the kind, then a
lamp. We spied an old kitchen lamp
that had not been used for months.
in the chimney being about one
dozen reaches, but a lot of
chickens outside soon took these
in charge. Having applied a
match to the wick we heard a
scratching and scrambling down in
the socket by the burner, one big fat
fellow having taken possession and,
like some office holders, refusing
to come out, SO we struck light. but
be put it ont every time, and fearing
that the moon might put the sun ont.
or pass off its disc, or be burned up
while we were fooling with lamps.
we got better one aud got
ready in time to see biz black
wheel on the sun with liitle silver
or golden rim on one slde-lirst on
the East than on the top as if the
moon had slipped down or somewhat
lost her "holt."
BY the way, is there not some con
nection between the election and the
eclipse? Nat Turner, of Southamp-
ton fame, sprung his insurrection on
the strength of a dark spot on the
sun-are not the whites going to
eclipse race who have been con-
tributing their light, loyalty and
craftsmanship to the old Common
wealth for the last thirty wears?
What a slam on the memory of the
late lamented Mr.. Underwood. who
felt such an interest in Virginia
that he came here in the days OF the
"irrepressible conflict" and the
old people in Northern Virginia
think he had hand in the
John Brown raid-as he was teach
ing school and talking Insurrection
in the Blue Ridge mountains near
Harper's Ferry at that time. The
loyal were loyal to the last-they
voted their full strength at this place.
and other places too-while the pale
faces were slack-some fearing the
rain-some lacking interest. Now
two eclipses have passed and fearing
third-the eclipse of the waste
basket-we make haste to sign our
selves, yours, ALPHA.
