A Quaint Old Essay Written In The
Year 1892.
The following curious old essay, writ
ten by NJ. &. Saphier in Germany, in
1906, is worth reading now, when money
seems to be hegod of SO many people:
The world is divided into two kinds
of human beings-those wLo have mon.
ey and those who have none, But the
latter are not.humaD beings at all; they
are either devils; namely, poor devils OF
angels of patience. Without money,
without teeth and without a wife we
come into this world What then have
we accomplished in this world? We
have made money, cut teeth and taken
unto ourselves wives. Glorious des-
tinyl There are fevers, pains and sut-
ferings Of all kinds attenant upon the
getting of teeth and wives, and when one
,~have them they hurt the whole year
round, and often the best one can do is
TO have them extracted.
Teeth and wives come to you without
your doing, and, unless carefully treated,
they are liable to decay. But money
does not come without your doing, and
often man leaves this world without
having had money. 1t would interest

when asked on the other side: "What

MRS. JULIA KENYON JAYNE.
(From New Orleans Picayune.)


Mrs. Julia Kennon Jayne, who died
on the 22nd of May last, in Brandon,
Miss, was, as friend has just de-
scribed her, "a beautiful and charm
ing lady of the olden days; splen-
did example Of vanishing type, the
ante -bellum gentlewoman. The dis
tiEesion and charm of her manner
gave unmistakable pfoef Of the nobil-
ity of her nature and the gracious n
fuence of her culture. She had been
trained in that old school in which
the traditions and intimate associa-
tions of refined household counted
for quite. as much as any course Of for
NAL academic instruction. In the
days Of her youth there were few
blue stockings and the number Of
platform orators was still smaller,
among the women Of the south, but
southern girls of the best families
learned a pure and beautiful English
from the lips Of their mothers, and no
pains were spared to inspire in them
a general love for literature and art.
The southern belle usually cultivated
all the graces, but the sum of her ac-
complishments would have been ac-
counted fatally incomplete if it had
not embraced practical acquaintance
with the fine art of cooking and all
the ways and means of an abundant
and delightful hospitality. All, how
carefully they were protected against
the ills Of life, what sentiments of
chivalry and romance were inspired
by them, the young women of the old
south.
These characteristic features of a
by gone era are recalled here because
though other times have come with
other manners, and new ideals are in
vogue, Mrs. Jayne's career proves
that the system Of female education
formerly prevalent here furnished no
inadequate preparation for the trials
and combats Of a strenuous life.
She was born on the first day Of
Januray, 1926, in the beautiful town
of Tuscaloosa, Ala. Her father was
the Rev. DR.. Robert Lewis Kennon,
one Of he most eloquent pulpit orators
of his time. Her mother was Martha
Bush, of Georgia, who, OIL the mater
nal side, was a descendant Of the IL
lustrious Fews family Of that state,
DR.. Kennon traced back to the Ken
non and Lewises of Virginia. Mrs.
Jayne enjoyed every educational ad-
vantage in her girlhood, and at an
early age graduated at Tuscaloosa,
from the academy known as the
Atheneum. Shortly after her faith
er's death, which occurred while he
was still in his prime, the bereaved
family removed to Mississippi. In Ran
kin county Of that state, at the home
of her aunt, Mrs. Jos. Mcdowell,
she was married to William M. Jayne,
on Dec. IL, 1850. Mr.. Jayne, who
was then q planter, had graduated
with the highest honors from Cent
enary College, Louisiana. He was q
very intellectual and scholarly man,
remarkable for his genius
for mathematics. Mrs. Jayne's early
life was spent partly on her
husband s delta plantation. partly in
jackson and in country home in
the vicinity Of that city. In 1868 Mr..
Jayne purchased the brick house in
which was Mrs. Jayne >

of these things she did achieve. Size

Female Academy, and day after day,
month after month, session after ses-
sion, she gave her strength to the

One would fain dwell upon this his
tory, treasuring up all details of the
gentle woman's unwavering heroism
There is OH story of romance in
which the steadfast endeavors of
brave heart appeals more irresistibly
for sympathy and admiration.
Her one great purpose achieved at
last, Mrs. Jayne was free to rest and
enjoy the fruits of her labors, and it
is pleasant to remember that for many
long years she lived once more life
of repose, gathering her children and
dear friends about her under her own
roof, or visiting relatives and loved
ones in distant states. She was fond
OF travels, but she was always glad
to get back to the Old Castle. No
one can know how profoundly she felt
the loss when that house was consrui
ed last fall by fire. She only said :
Il thank God that he has given me SO
good home for forty three syears. .
There was no repining nothing but
Christian resignation, accompanied
by something of that invincible hope. 1
fulness which had distinguished her
in the greatest trial of her life. 1t is
not necessary to add that she was not
afraid to die. Her faith probably had
neve been shaken since she first gave
her heart to God, and at the last it
did not forsake her. She had fought a
good fight, and henceforth there was
laid up for her crown of rejoicing.

LEESBURG, Va, August S.-Twelve men
have been selected, two from each of the
six election districts in Loudoun county, to
compose the grand jury which meets Mon
day morning. Judge Tebbs selected men
upon whom he can rely to make a thorough
investigation of the lynching of sCharles
Craven. The men who will sit as members
OF this body are among the leading citizens
of the county. 1t is not expected that all
the men who were held by the coroner's
jury will be indicted, but it is deemed GER
tain that a number of citizens will be i'm
plieated. II is possible that indictments will
be found against some persons who were
not named by the coroner's jury.
Discussing the lynching, a resident of
Leesburg said the county was responsible
for such mob violence. He cited the case
of a man who was tried many years ago
on a serious charge. This man was twice
condemned to death and the court had
granted him a new trial, which meant the
third appearance in court of the witnesses
to perform the unpleasant duty of rchears-
ing the deplorable crime, and before the
time set for the third trial the prisoner was
tried by Judge Lynch"
Concerning those who participated in last
weeks affair, he said nobody would have
been in trouble over it had the Iynchers
waited until dark. The last affair of its
kind here, he stated, occurred about fifteen
years ago. A man was taken from the
prison at night and lynched, and the affair
was never heard of again.
