CHAPTER VII.

On recovering from the dull stupor
caused by the death of her husband
under circumstances so appalling, at a
moment so unexpected, and by the
terrible suspicion which had fixed itself
upon her, Olive Dumbarton began to
look with calmness such as she could
command upon her situation, and to
brace herself toward meeting the in
evitable. Being q oma who had al
ready suffered much in the course of
her existence, her spirit was seasoned
to trial.
She had known alternate light and
darkness. happiness and woe. Her girl
hood had basked in sunshine; her mar
ried life had made her taste the bitter
ness of disappointment, the brine of
grief. Then, after struggle and despair
came success and independence, a state
of freedom from anxiety and delicious
calm which might eventually ave
reached the heights of happiness, had
not affliction ON when looked for
least. But this horrible charge having
been made against her, the heaviest
and cruelest blow a wife and mother
could know, it was her determination.
| not for her own sake so much as for
| her child's, to combat 1t with all her
strength and prove her innocence to
the world, hopeless as The task seemed,
and helpless as she was at present.
The courage which had strengthened
| her in the heaviest hours of her past
life was with her now, and would SUE
| tain her to the end.

Our Heroes in Black"

Richmond Times-Dispatch: In re-
cording the death Of Albert Comfort,
the Oldest colored man in S~pottsyvania
county, our Fredericksburg c~orrespon-
dent relates that during the war, when
rations were scarce. this noble coloTed
man borrowed a team and wagon, went
to Fredericksburg and secured supplies
from the federal troops on the ground
that they were Intended for needy coll
bred people, but in point of fact he
made his perilous Journey on behalf Of
his MISTRESS and her children, of whom,
in the absence of the white men of the
family, he was the protector. This was
done at the risk of his own life, for
before he reached home he was arrested,
court-martialled and sentenced to be
shot, but upon the plea of prominent
citizens of Spottsylvania the war de-
partnlent relented and set the noble
prisoner free.
This was no exceptional black man.
He was a type. There were thousands
upon thousands of other black men
like him throughout the length and
breadth Of the southern states, loyal
and deVou ito the families who owned
them, choosing bondage, such as ii was,
and af1iction great as 1t was, with old
| miss and the children rather than the
pleasures of freedom at the north to
be obtained by desertion. The war
produced many heroes among the mel
and many heroines among the women,
and It Is right that their glorius deeds
should be recorded, and that their
praises should be sung. But never tc
be forgotten in that struggle are the
Albert Comforts, whose faces were
dark, but whose hearts We're pure anc
whose loyalty and fidelity Were equa
to any sacrifice. We should like to see
In every state of the south a monu-
ment to the memory of these devou,
bros in black.

The advocates of the standing committee won, but fall to see wherein 1t was Selma's victory.
 Second, he states that upon the floor of synod Dr. Stagg and MT. McIlwain, ''who are actively against Selma, openly ad- mitted that if a vote was pressed now Selma would have won the victory. Dr. Stagg and MT. McIlwaln are abundantly able to defend themselves, but I was present at the meeting rom start to finish and my ears were so dull and my understanding so blunt that failed to catch any such remark from either Of these gentlemen. Even if both of them had made such a statement It would be only individual opinion that would not be coincided In by some other members who have been in the synod as long as each of them.
 Third, the gentleman interviewed says: Selma would have had a plurality on the first ballot and a majority on the second' if vote had been taken. My observation that both In religious bodies and in dirty politics" as well as clean, large pluralities on the first ballot do not always mean majorities on the second I know nothing of any unfairness which may have been practiced in this mater by any individual, but if there has been the church courts Sessions and presbyteries) are open to any that has a grievance against any member of the synod.

Social Customs.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I noticed in your columns a quotation from some person as to the custom of tors when ladies are passengers.
 It is difference to woman peculiar tO the south. As the south has resisted be- ing carpet-bagged in politics. l protest that some of her best social customs be not surrendered in the mad pursuit of the dollar.
 Let us have, If we must, the arlstocracy of the dollar; the aristocracy of culture, and professionalism; but Tor all that is dear let us hold fast to the aristocracy of culture, refinement and lineage, where worthy.
 A man may eat with his knife to save time and trouble, but 1t isn't quite the thing to do, though many through ignor- anee or carelssness do so.
 I desire to say that in many instances gentlemen are born, not made by fortul- tous circumstanc es. I have met princes in monkeys in mems clothes who ape the manners of other men,. who sprang not from the soil. but verify from the Bowery or the fish market of the Ghetto.
 It is a good rule to follow if you havnt virtue, to affect it--it shows a progress sive desire which may lead to it's attain rnent. So if we are not so honorable and deferential towards the gentler sex as we should be- let's keep up as many of the rice little points of etiquette in this utili- tartan age as we may It may lead to a restoration.
