THE ELECTION

There is one consolation which all
the people Of fredericksburg can get
out of the local option election here
Tuesday, and that is that in spite OF
intense excitement, which a cam
paign Of that sort must engender,
good humor and good order were
maintained throughout the day.
The order around the polls and
throughout the city was most excel
lent, and no one can doubt or deny
that no fairer election was ever held
In fredericksburg. or that the will
OF the majority of the qualified
voters was not recorded The vic
tory of the "drys" is undoubtedly
due in large measure to the efforts OF
the women. They we're ever present
with their moral support and will
ing hands, and when the issue was
Joined some OF the old political war
horses were swept off their feet.
That fredericksburg will accept
the verdict nationally there is no
doubt in our minds; shat all our cit
liens will continue to work together
for the good OF the old Burg is be
yond question; and that the officers
will see to 1t that there is no viola
tion OF the law we have the utmost
confidence.
The good feeling and good temper
evinced on both sides throughout
the day is guarantee that what
ever soreness the contest may have
engendered will soon be healed.

The Change.

NY I,.e is hemmed in by things I
cannot change, yqg see, s9ld a girl,
explaining her DEPRESSION OF spirits
to an older friend She had been
talking about the ugly little town
where she lived, and how little money
she had to spend, and how there were
no concerts or lectures or chances
for culture, how monotonous and mar
row things were week after week.
how her health was not strong, and
there was no special thing she could
do in the world. II did sound rather
hopeless, and the older woman was
silent a moment. Then she said,
thoughtfully:
"No: you cannot change these con-
ditions OF your life at present. But
there is one thing, Marjory, that you
can change, and IL will make every
thing absolutely different
But what can | change? / don't
understand, >" cried Marjory.
You can change your point or
view" returned her friend. That's
all. But it's everything"
The girl thought il an unsympa-
thetic answer. She went home still
thinking so. But it stuck in her mind
nevertheless; for she was an intelli-
gent girl.
1T is the only change | can make.
she said to herself, and she tried IL.
Her point of view had been from
herself-from what she wanted 10 do,
and have in the world, but could not.
She faced round 10 the point Of view
that God had put her where she was.
had prepared blessings for her If she
would recognize them, and had given
her opportunities for unselfish useful
ness to others in her daily life.
From that moment her life was a
study in transformation dis
content to cheerfulness, from languor
to activity, from lack of interest in
life to a fullness of loving sacrifice.
1T is all absolutely different" shs
wrote her friend, a year later. Only
one thing has changed. That was
all. But it was everything.-For-

The explosion made crater $50
feet long. ninety-seven feet wide and
thirty feet deep, the contents being
hurled SO high in the air that the
foremost ranks of the assaulting coll

in disorder and fear OF the falling

ever. fell Immediately around the
crater, mingled with the debris OF
two guns. twenty-five cannoneers.
and perhaps $50 infantry (nine COM
panies OF the Nineteenth and Twen-
ty-second South Carolina. which had
been carried up in the air). Quite
number OF those who fell safely
were dug out and rescued alive by
the assaulting column. Some, not
vet aroused. were lost, covered up
in the bomb-proofs of the adjacent
trelches by the falling earth. This
formed a high embankment. as II

cabin, rim, which remained land

line. called n trench cavalier. had
been built across the gorge OF the

coincided with the centre OF the eN-
plosion. The parapets were partially
destroyed and largely buried by the
falling earth.

which the falling earth had caused
TO be vacated for a short distance
on each flank. But, considering the
surprise. the novelty Of the occasion,
and the terrific cannonade by $50
guns and mortars which was opened
Immediately. the GOODNESS and self
possession Of the entire brigade was
remarkable, and 10 IL is TO be at
tributed the success OF the defence.
This was conducted principally by
Colonel McMaster. of the Seventeenth
South Carolina. General Elliot hav'
ing been soon severely wounded. The
effect of the artillery cannonade was
more moral than physical, for the
smoke so obscured the view that the
fire was largely at random, at least
for one or two hours during which

Johnson the other day.
There was, you know, an old lady
who rented a furnished villa for the
summer, and with the villa a large
dog also went.
In the sitting room OF the villa
there was a comfortable armchair.
The old lady liked this chair better
than any other in the house. She
always made for IL the first thing.
But, alas, she nearly always
found the chair occupied by the large
dog.
being afraid OF the dog, she
never dared bid it harsbly 20 get out
OF the chair, as she feared that It
might bite her, but instead she would
go TO the window and call cats
Then the dog would rush TO the
window and bark, and the old lady
would slip into the vacant chair
quietly.
"One day the dog entered the
room and found the old lady in pos

over 90 the window and, looking out,
