The chaste aud beautiful tribute
paid to the memory of Robt. Z. Lee
by Attorney General Montague, when
he spoke before the Confederate
Camps here January 18th last, recalls
the eulogy of Ben. Hill to the memo
~ of Gen. Lee, an extract of which
follows:
"He was foe without hate, friend
without treacbery, a soldier without
cruelty and a victim without muir
muring. He was a public officer
without vices, a private citizen with
out wrong. neighbor without re-
proach, Christian without hypocri-
sy and a man without guilt. He was
Caesar without his ambition, Fred
erick without his tyranny, Napoleon
without his selishnesss and Wash
ington without bis reward. He was
as obedient to authority as a servant
and royal in authority as a king.
He was as gentle as a woman In life,
pure and modest as q virgin in
thought, watchful as Roman ves-
tai, submissive to law as Socrates
and grand in battle as Achilles"

The instruction in the Philip
pines, with an army of 10000 SOL
diers constantly in the field for an in
definite period, will be imperialism
dearly purchased, with both money
and lives, observes the Charlestown
Advocate. We were told previously
to Nov. 9Th that the prospect of Mr..
Bryan's election was the cause of &C.
tive hostilities by the insurgents.
Nearly three months has interviewed
since that time and we are no nearer
pacifcation now than we were then.
Senator Carter and other leading re-
publicans now admit that the pros
pect of putting down the rebellion
will occupy many years, and if ac-
complished will be an investment
that will cost the taxpayers millions
of dollars yielding a return only to g
favored few.

The Victorian era is at last end
ed, aud England mourus the death
of her most illustrous sovereign.
Victoria's reign was one of the most
prolonged and remarkable in the
English history, and saw the great
est progress and highest develop
ments in art, science and literature
ever made by the English people.
She was blessed with wise advisers
and statesmen, but no man could
have secured and held so firmly the
affection of the people for so long a
time. 1t is no doubt due to Victoria's
influence for tenderness and conserva-
tism that the greed and domineering
spirit of her people did not reach the
sway that it has on this side of the
Atlantic among their American
cousins.
The whole world sympathizes
with the English people in their
loss.

The Virginia legislature convened
in extra session in Richmond last
Wednesday at noon. Gov. Tyler's
message was read, which was brief
and contained only few recommen-
dstions. he ADVISES that the strict
est economy be exercised in arrsng-
ing for the holding of the constitu-
tionsl convention, and suggests that
a committee be appointed to inves-
tigste the condition of the peniten-
tiary and report what action they
may think proper ct the next legis-
lative session.
The House refused to concur with
the Senate that no general legislation
be entered into, aud a number of To-
cal bills have been passed. Several
bills have been introduced in both
branches outlining plans for the con-
vention, aud the sentiment among
the members tends to show that the
representation of the convention
shall be about 100.
The burning question now engsg-
ing the attention of the body is the
judgeship fight, oyer which there is
u deadlock with Judge Phlegar in
the lead on the last ballot taken
Monday. Another Democratic eau
Gus will be held Thursday when it
is understood that Judge Prentis'
name will not be submitted again.
Senator COL of this county is u
Phlegar man, and Delegate WArthen
is supporting Judge Mann.

There is more in dog than mans

Of instinct-sometimes defined as a
faculty prior to experience and indie

tons of clever dog whose case IL
reported by correspondent of the
London Spectator:
knew dog in 1reland-a retriever
who had been taught always to bring
his own tin dish in his mouth, to be
filled at the late dinner For some
reason his master wished to make a
change and to feed him twice day
instead of once.
The dog resented this, and when, told
to bring the dish, refused. and it could
nowhere be found, on which his master
spoke angrily to him and ordered him
to bring the dish at once.
With dropping tail and sheepish ex-
preston he went down the length Of
the garden and began scratching up
the soil, where he had buried the bowl
deep down to avoid having to bring it
at an hour of which he did not ap-
prove.

He Cashes Pay Checks.

New York pays it's employees by
check, and each pay day sees a great
many men with their whole months
salary in their hand, but no money.
Various bankers whose places of bust
ness are near the city hall are willing
to cash the city's checks, but they
charge a commission, usually 10 cents
on each 500.
The proprietor of a saloon near the
city hall Is willing to cash the checks
without charging a commission, and on
pay days his establishment is jammed
with officials. He makes his profit on
the increased sale of liquids at his bar,
for no man after having his check cash
ed leaves the place without buying a
drink. The proprietor of the estab-
lishment provides against the city pay
day by drawing $4,000 from the bank
and hiring man to take entire charge
of the check cashing business. FIRE.
quently the entire $4,000 is exchanged
for checks. When this happens, the
proprietor sends for more money. No
city employee asks to have his pay
check cashed and is not accommodate
ed, and the extra pay day sales at the
bar are a considerable feature of the
years trade.-New York Sun.

Brick Tea.


Our endurance would be tested to
the breaking point were our only re-
source the brick tea of Tibet, made
and favored after the true Tartar
recipe. This tea, for the convenience
Of porterage on camels, is made up
in the form of hard, solid, bricklike
Jumps, which are supposed to consist
of the stems and leaves of our ordinary
tea plant. But in the majority of cases
brick tea is merely the offscOurings Of
the tea plantation, together with dust
and adulteration Of endless other
plants. There is little Of the crisp,
curly tea leaves to be found In these
Jumps.
When tea is to be made. pieces are
Clipped off the bricks and immersed
in boiling water. The result is dark,
strong favored liquid. with harsh, I'M
pleasant taste. One merit alone it pos
sesses--it is undoubtedly stimulating.
The flavor of the tea is not improved
either to our taste by the additions to
it which the Tartar favors. Instead
of cream and sugar, mutton fat and
salt are usually considered the correct
things to add, and it can readily be
imagined that. the beverage thus pro-
duced does not present any particular
attraction to Englishmen. - Good
Words, f~Ier
