A remarkable prisoner has Just been
pardoned by Gov. Nash of Ohio, after
having served all but three weeks of a
three-years' sentence for grand larceny.
He is Syrian, speaks u languages flu
entity, is a scholar of many attachments
and. 1t is said, has been an agent for the
Turkish government at Cincinnati. How
ever, his accomplishments did not keen
him out of debt. and he pawned two type
writer's which he had bought on the in
stalment plan and had practically paid
for. Gov. Nash decided that the Syrian.
even if technically guilty had not shown
moral turpitude. and so pardoned him at
the eleventh hour.

Care of Self and Use of Time.

This care for self in body and in mind
is not form of selfshness, as some NAV
imagine. 1t is the foundation of a valua-
Bile life; II is the means of blessing fam
ily' friends and society: it adds to gener-
Gus emotion the power of practical benev.
olence. For man cannot give that
which he has not got; he cannot carry a
load If he has no strength, nor provide for
his family If he has no ability. nor per-
form his duties as a citizen If he has no
knowledge, nor help the timid If he has
no courage, nor shed happiness around
him If he has no cheer in his own heart.
1t is then in the interest of both Justice
and generosity that a man should strive
TO make the most of himself in every nos
sible way-that he should make such a
use of the time afforded him as win
establish his health, increase his powers
and ennoble his character. Civilization
Is continually teaching us the MANY DIFF
terent ways in which we squander time.
and the many ways in which we can save
and store II. We are slowly learning. NOT
merely how to lengthen the term of life.
but how 10 make it fuller, richer and
better worth living. In this lies the
whole secret of the use of time. and the
true standard by which we must ever
test it--lPhiladelphia Ledger.

to the habit of tea drinking has just been pub

John l.. McLaurin, both of South
Carolina, have resigned from the
United States Senate.
Tillman said in a speech that if
the people elected McLaurin he
would take it as notice that they did
not wish him. Ii McLaurin was a
Democrat he was not. The Junior
Senator in reply, tainted Tillman
with not having offered to resign if
he was elected. "Beniamin, the
Tillmanite," he said, "will never be
found resigning from anything"
At this Tillman sprang up and
declared that he would resign on the
spotif McLaurin would do 80. "That
suits me-" "Draw up the papers. /"
said Tillman, "and l will sign now"

effect November 15 next. Tillman
was last summer elected for six years
and McLaurin has yet two years to
serve. Thsresult of the issue means
that If Tillman is sustained. Nc
Laurin's seat will be vacant; if Nc
Laurin is successful he will succeed

ONE OF THE PEOPLE.

The phenomenal popularity of Mr..
Swanson among the laboring men of
the State is accounted for in two
ways. First, the great activity
he has displayed in advocating
national Legislation in their behalf
his ten-year record in Congress
Astounding in evidences of this,
while not single incident in his
public life has been of sn adverse
nature to the workingman. This
feeling of kindness to the laborinp
man probably springs from the other
OF the two causes for his popularity
that he himself has been a work.

Danger to Oysters.

The oyster people very much fear
that oysters about Sharp's and
Bowler's, on the Rappshannock, will
be greatly injured by the late freshets.
During the season of the Johnstown
Hood hundreds of thousands of
bushels were destroyed by the fresh
water. The freshet of several weeks
ago would have seriously damaged
the oysters had not the heavy east
winds backed up the salt water and
overcome the supply of fresh water
The winds upon this occasion have
not come to the rescue. With too
much fresh water the oyster becomes
suddenly abnormally fat, sours and
dies.

In HIS anxiety(T for DIR. LeCato
the writer on the Northern Mech
Nercs deplores the fact that Lancas-
ter Democrats should have declared
for Swanson and Jeffries whom il
says are not known personally to a
dozen Democrats in this county.
And, further, makes this remark:
1t is evident, however, that the agents
OF the Martin machine in this district
are against this distinguished SON of the
strongest Democratic county in the Dis.

indeed. We have seen this carried
out for so long in this District that
1t does not need rehearsing. But,
nevertheless, the first part of the
foregoing statement we know to be
untrue. "The agents of the Martin
machine" pernicious though they
may be to the First District bosses.
are as true friends to DR.. LeCato as
the writer of the foregoing. He
may, in his zeal for Accomac favor.
give the little vote of Richmond
county, by endorsement, to DR..
LeCato, but because Lancaster in its
hot fight did not mention LeCato's
name is no reason that they are not
friendly to him.
The slur at Lancaster Democrats
being ignorant of whom they were
voting for-Swanson and Jeffries-I
we can well pass by in the light of
how Richmond county Democrats
are SO often tied and gagged.

THIRTY-sIx FOR ECHoLs.
Secret Work OF Mr.. Montague
Resented

In mass-meeting, first at the
courthouse, but later adjourned to
Columbian Hall, where State con VEN
tons are held, the Democrats of
Augusta and Stanton gave Ecbols
an ovation, cheering him to the echo,
and giving him for first, last, and ali
the time, without any second choice
suggestions, the SO votes of Augusta
and Staunton.
1t was an Ecbols meeting from
hrst to last. For ten days past local in
surgents have been working in a vain
attempt to embarrass Mr.. Echols's
candidacy by having Augusta Demo-
Gratis consider some second candidate.
MIR. Montague's letters we're becom-
ing circulated, asking Democrats to
consider his name in the event that
Echols's WIS not before the conven-
ton. Augustus answer: "36 votes
to support, work for, and vote for
Echols as long as his name shall be.

THE PEA CROP.

1t is almost useless to try to make
an estimate at seeding time what the
English pea crop will be at harvest
along the Rappahannock. This
season all reports led one to believe
that there would be no extraordi-
narily large crop, but this weeks
shipments have demonstrated that
more peas are going into market
from this section than ever before.
On Tuesday there were two
steamers on the river bound for
Baltimore, and the same has been
for nearly every day since. Eight
hundred barrels were taken from
Urbanna alone, and many hundreds
OF barrels and baskets had to be left
at various wharyes on Tuesday.
Strawberries, asparagus aud other
trucks continue to be shipped, as do
also soft crabs.
