The man with small store wants TO

HON. JOHN RANDOLPH TUCKER!
Norfolk virginian.Pilot June Goth.


Though so lately deceased, there was
dedicated yesterday at the Washington
and Lee University at Lexington, Va,
beautiful building, the gift of friends
and admirers, to the memory OF John
Randolph Tucker, that ordinarily, for
wait OF funds, might have taken years
to build. II is beautiful structure, q
monument in lasting stone that will
live to tell OF the noble character, the
lofty example, the deep learning and
the faithful service of grand and pure
mao, to his country, his eople and the
youth of the land.
One must have sat at the feet of John
Randolph Tucker and gained admit
TANGO into bis glorious soul through his
inspiring words and actions, in order
to really love and appreciate him. His
pupils were his friends, his companions;
and he endeavored to lift them up to
the high plane of his thoughts and
deeds and learning.
The world loved him for his works.
Without barping or hypocritical pre-
tense or show, he wore his religion wei
and becomingly; attracting doubters
and scoffers by his sincerity and open
confession; he repealed none by often
sive partizanry. His was religion OF
love, not of necessity, or of fear, or OF
force. Those who were so fortunate as
to listen to his Sunday morning lee
lures on the Bible learned OF beauties
| unknown to the ordinary mird as the
| speaker scared into the religion OF
purity of heart, of honor, of equity, OF
Justice and OF love. His words have
sunken deep into the hearts of men,
and are guiding the footsteps Of hun
dreds of men to-day.
TIE South loved Mr.. Tucker for what
the North admired-.his ability as a
constitutional lawyer; his deep learn
! ing as lawyer, and his honest cCnyic-
tons in behalf of States Rights. His
speeches and opinions should be in the
hands of every youth of the day, that
the real doctrine of the individual
rights of the States, might be handed
down with his endorsement fastened
upon It. The ablest orators, lawyers
and statesmen came out of the North
to meet him IN debate, but not one OF
them has ever shaken one iota OF his
position. H.
But it was to his friends that the
man was really known. Though his
name was upon tbe tongue of savant
and servant, and his praises sung BY
countless thousands; his greatness was
equalled by his modesty. Ihe num-
blest approached him with the assur-
ance that it was man meeting man.
And the great met him upon common
ground Of worth and integrity. Around
his Preside dull care found no place,
for his presence was too bright, happy
| full OF sunshine, love of humanity, the
beautiful and good, to permit OF mo-
roseness, oullsaness or detection. Sor-
row came to him as it comes to u', but
his iron will recognized the hand OF
gracious God and bowed his head IN
submission.
1t is his memory we love aud cher
lish. 1t is bis example we would emu
late, and his doctrine perpotuate. sc
long as the Giving stone OF which this
Memorial Hall is built shall stand, Sc
long may his memory be fresh in th'
hearts tf Virginians, Americans and al
Ilovels Of truth, honor and justice ane
equity.

An American on Joubert.

The London correspondent of the
Matin has wired some extracts from
the letter of an American volunteer
with the Beers. The writer describes
General Joubert as an old fox, who
knows his business well and who will
not move unless he is sure Of success.
He says that he leaves the attack to
the English. the result being that
while they lose five men he loses only
one. The English artillery is good,
though the guns are inferior in range
to those Of the Beers. but the English
cavalry is far less useful than theirs
