oad Idea. OF Proxia.nce

The temperance lecturer, John B.
Cough. had occasion In one of his ad-
dresses to refer to the indiscriminate
and arbitrary yet consoiine doctrine
OF Providence. He said: "Some people
have strange ideas on this matter.
Once when ship was In danger lady
went to the captain In great distress.
We must trust In Providence, madam

Here Is a curious extract from the
court regulations of the Hofburg for
the year 1924 on the etiquette to be OBJ
served by officers when invited to the
royal table. The regulation begins by
stating that officers usually behave un-
der such circumstances with great po-
liteness and good breeding. like true
and worthy cavaliers" but that the
emperor thinks it necessary to issue
the following directions for the use Of
inexperienced cadets:
"1. Officers should come to the palace
handsomely dressed and not enter the
room in half drunken state.
"2. When they are Mt table, they
should not rock about on their chairs
nor sit back and stretch out their legs.
''3. They should not drink after each
mouthful. as by SO doing they will very
soon get drunk. nor drink more than
half glass at time, and before
drinking they should wipe their lips
and moustachips.
~. They should not put their hands
In the dishes nor throw bones under
the table.
80. They should not lick their fin
gers nor drink so brutally as to fall of
their chairs"

Henry Clay Ms q young man was ex-
tremely bashful. although he possessed
uncommon brightness OF intellect and
fascinating address, without effort
making the little he knew pass for
much more. In the early part of his
career he settled In Lexington, Va,
where he found the society most con-
genial. though the clients seemed some
what recalcitrant to the young lawyer.
He Joined debating society at length,
but for several meetings he remained q
silent listener.
One evening. after lengthy debate,
the subject was being put TO a vote,
when Clay was heard to observe softly
TO friend that the matter in question
was by no means exhausted He was
at once asked to speak and after some
hesitation rose to his feet. Finding
himself thus Unexpectedly confronted
by an audience. he was covered with
confusion and began, as he. had fire.
Quently done In Imaginary appeals to
the court, ~Gentlemen OF the jury"
A litter that ran through the au-
dience only served to heighten his em/
barrassment, and the obnoxious phrase
fell from his lips again. Then he gath
cred himself together and launched in
to a peroration so brilliantly lucid and
tmpassioned. that 1t carried the house
by storm and laid the cornerstone to
his future greatness, his first case COM
ting to him as n result of this speech,
which some consider the finest he ever
made.-Collier's Weekly.

NEARING COMPLETION.
The West End Academy. which was
partially occupied last winter. by Sep
TENDER LIST will be entirely completed.
This is one of the most formidable and
conspicuous buildings on the Peninsu-
la. Costing upwards of 100000. it is
calculated to be the finest school build
ing. in a city the size Of this, in the
South.
The building. with It's commodious
surrounding lawn. makes n beautiful
appearance. and is great credit to it's
architect, Mr.. ]. w. Lee. Since the
building is larger and far more hand
some than the Academy in East Hamp-
ton, ii is thought that this building will
be used for the higher grades-the
academy proper-the next session.

NINE MEN WOUNDED.
FIGHT BETWEEN CONSTABLE
POSSE AND NEGROES.

Amherst c. H.. Va. Aug. 9.-Consta-
BILE II. j. Carter. with n posse attempt
ed to arrest n number of negroes in
the house of Paul Smith, near Pleasant
View. in this county, last night, and
wounded-threc seriously, and Paul
smith, his two sons. and his nephew
are here in jail tonight. One of the
negroes is slightly wounded.
There had been trouble the evening
before between Constable Martin and
the Smith family. and in this difficulty
several shots were exchanged. As Con-
stable Martin was one OF the parties to
this difficulty Justice r. c. Wisher
deemed 1t expedient TO appoint n special
constable to arrest the Smiths. r. j.
Garter was appointed, and with his
posse. proceeded to the house of Paul
Smith. The Smith family refused to
surrender. and instead of obeying the
mandate of the constable. opened fir,
upon that officer and his posse.
There are two versions of the trouble,
the negroes claiming that the white
men fired upon them first. and the other
side that the negroes opened fire first,
as above stated.

An examination was had to-day be-
fore Colonel Il. c. Wilsher. with q large
crowd of whites drawn UP on one side
OF the road and blacks on the other.
and for awhile excitement ran high.
and further and serious trouble seemed
imminent. But wiser cOunsels pre-
vailed and the negroes were lodged
safely in jail here tonight. At this
writing everything is quiet and no fur
ther trouble is expected. The Smith
family had four guns and n pistol. all
of which were emptied before they
were captured.
