were cspied making their way painfully
up the slope. and Joseph's welcome was as
not so much In DurnOvo's hand-shake, IN
Guy Oscards silent approval, as IN the
row Of grinning, good-natured black faces

That night laughter was heard in the

of the closest familiarity with the wives

Brandon-Shirlev Excursion.

The anxiety Of Richmond people to Visit
these noted old colonial homes has been
shown by the fact that number Of tick
cts for the a.. p. ". A. excursion, 70 %
given June Goth, were engaged before
the tickets were printed
These are, however, now ready. ana
may be obtained at the Virginia Histor-
cal Society. The Carriers and H ltlI
are famous for hospitality. but the
widest hospitality possible to private
family can only enable a very small
proportion Of people who would like to
visit these beautiful and historic houses,
an opportunity to do SO.
Therefore, when Mrs. Carter, of Shir-
ley, and Mrs. Harrison, Of Brandon. each
give cordial invitations to the a. r. v.

part of Richmond people to take adyan-
tage of them.

days fighting carried of over 1000
wounded north of Mukden. It appears
that they removed a majority of their

abandoned and exploded their ammu-

not yet been reported. On last Sunday
night at 10 o'clock General Kurok1's

Russians were driven westward. Gen

recorded for a continuance of the
strike. The strike as far as the men

the union men, except the 292, are

have compelled most of the men upon

union buttons along with their mem
