Referring at some length to the invests
cation now on by the grand jury in this
city. the Charlottesville Progress, among
other things. says:
''As general thing, we have consid-
cradle faith In the benefcence Of such
widespread 'house-cleanings.' The very
fact that they are possible Is wholesome
in Itself. and tends as a considerable
safeguard against settled and 'proprie-
tory forms of vice.
The Appomattox Times seems to speak
from previous observation in the follow
ing:
Every soon now the school trustee will
begin to loom up as the prominent man
Of the district. Any public schools to give
out? We'll, that depends In some coun-
ties they go to those qualified to teach
and in others to those who can command

It's patience also. 1t says:
IF the election in the Fourth District
is fair sample of the new primary
plan. may the master save this district
from one of them. Why they are enough
to give anybody palpitation of the heart.
Referring to Representative Caton's
faw-picking at the Constitution, the
Staunton News says:
There may not be any qualified jurors
over in Colonel Caton's town, Alexandra,
but there are plenty of them in Staunton.
or at any rate the judge of the Corpora
ton Court thinks SO, for he is now try
ing a felony case before twelve good

The following is from the Petersburg
l7ldex-Appeal:
Unlike our Richmond contemporaries,
who present their city to- the
world as summer and winter re-
sort, the Index-Appeal does not offer
Petersburg as an attraction to valetu-
diarians though Of course, that desirable
class Of population would be greatly ben
Gifted here What we seek is that class
Of strong. active, vigorous and enter
prising men who can keep up with the
march of events and the progress and
growth Of industrial enterprise which are
fast placing Petersburg in the front rank
of Southern cities.
Respecting summer resorts the Roam
oke Times says:
There are few States SO great
lily blessed Virginia. From any
city of the State car ride of an hour
or so will take the pleasure seeker to a
desirable resort, and in choice. from
dip in the briny deep to the mountains
with cool sequestered wales. In variety
of waters, mineral and medicinal, the
State has no equal. For almost any
known ailment there Is water for the
healing.

They soon left some of the isles en-
tirely without birds or fowls. The
mongoose became a bigger nuisance
than the rats were.
The mongoose is about the size of n
cat, with a long, slender body, some-
what like a weasel's. 1t is easily tam
ed and is kept in many Hindu houses
to rid them of snakes, rats, mice and
other vermin. 1t fearlessly attacks
and kills the terrible cobra. and has
been said to avoid death from snake
bite by eating a certain herb which
counteracts the poison. but really pro-
tects itself by the extreme quickness
Of its movements. The ichneumon. or
Egyptian mongoose, is held high in
public regard because it destroys
great numbers of crocodile eggs.

Grant Never HesItated.

The life of Gen. Grant should be
read by every boy of the rising genera
ton So many opportunities present
ed themselves for him to decide quick
ly between right and wrong, and he
never hesitated to choose the right.
One instance was at the time he was
a visitor at the French capital.
The president of the republic as a
special token of respect, invited Gen.
Grant to place on the grand stand to
witness the great racing which oc-
ours in that country on Sunday. 1t is
considered a discourteous act to de-
cline such an invitation from the head
official of the republic Such a thing
had never been heard of. but Gen.
Grant, in a polite note, declined the
honor, and said to the French presi-
dent: 1T is not in accordance with
the custom of my country or with the
spirit of my religion to spend Sunday
in that way" And when Sabbath
came that great hero found his way
to the American chapel, where he was
one of its quiet worshipers.

Prince of Greatness.

To those at the bottom of the Lad
der Of Fame it seems all serene at
the top. but the price of greatness
often includes many annoyances be-
sides discouraging impositions. A
striking illustration of this truth is
found in the following incident:
Thomas Bailey Aldrich once received
a pathetic letter announcing the deathI
of a little daughter and asking if hel
would not send in his own handwriting
a verse or two from "Bable Bell TO
assauge the grief of the household.
Aldrich sent the whole poem and not
long after saw it displayed in the
window of an autograph dealer with a
good, round price attached.

party. This Porter tried to do, but
failed to find wood that would float.
II was raining hard at this time and
the river was about ten feet above its
normal level and running with vio-
lence. AS Major Waller did not ap-
pear, Porter sent Capt. Bearss to him
to ascertain his plans, then return and
report. Bearss failed to return, but
he reached Waller and went on with
him.
J "On Jan. 3, think, Porter pushed
ahead to get assistance with eight of
the strongest men, leaving Williams to
follow with the crippled and lame as
far as the boat, secreted on the way
up to be used in an emergency like the
present. Porter reached the boat, but
found she had been damaged and was
unfit for use. SO he started on a
twenty hike for Lanang.

10th inst, his party having been with
out food except roots, the pulp OF
plants and a very few sweet potatoes
for fifteen days.
ITO further complicate matters the
native bearers, about thirty in num-
Der, became sulky, practically refusing
assistance to the white men. They
would build shacks as a protection
from the continual downpour for
themselves only, and, knowing the
edible roots and plants, were more
skillful in obtaining food
"A time came when no white man
could carry rifle, and those not lost
were in the hands of the natives and
under the altered condition it required
considerable diplomacy on the part Of
Lieut.. Williams to handle them at all
Just before reaching the river two
bearers tried to kill Williams, stab

He tried to shoot but had not suffi-

they tried to kill him with his oSn
pistol, but did not know how to work

Williams was rescued by few of
his men, who tottered up, armed with
sticks and the natives took to the
bush. No Fllipinos were seen in the
region, there being no food. The re-
lief party saw some coming from the
direction of Hermane, so it is prob
able that the insurgents about there
got wind OF the desperate condition of
the marines and were hurrying up to
take advantage of it. Relief came just
in time.
"It took practically all of Jan. IS

officers, to have been reduced to nearly
the same extremity as the other They

The relief expedition under Lieut..
Williams, First infantry, on account of
the height of the river, was unable to
get away until the morning OF the

praise for his twenty-five miles fight
against the current and up the rapids,
hauling his boats along by hand a
good part of the way. II was not until
the morning of the 18th that he
reached the starving marines in their
stopping place near the river. Their

strength TO carry a rifle. Nine of them

exposure. 1t had rained steadily for
