One curious instance which he gave was this: Thackeray had been dining at the Garrick and was talking In the smoking room after dinner with vari- ous club acquaintances. One of them happening to have left his cigar case at home, Thackeray, though disliking the man, who was notorious tuft hunter. good naturedly offered him one of his cigars. The man accepted the cigar, but. not finding it to his liking, had the bad taste to say to Thackeray, Il say, Thackeray. you won't mind my saying l don't think much of this cigar?'

VIRGINIA HOME FOR MAYNARD GIRLS
Generosity of Few Men Assures Sue
cess of Project.

Virginia is to have home and indus
trial school for girls. At a meeting Of
the executive ommittee in Richmond
il was reported that sufficient amounts
have been secured from nine founders
to assure the establishment of the in
stitution.
A few friends of the movement have
become founders by agreeing to pay
$500 for each foundation. Within few
days the following founders have been Sc
cured: John P. Branch, five foundations,
81, 500; P. H. Mayo, two, $1,000; I. A..
Cary. one, $500; Egbert G. Leigh, one,
$500: H. L. Cabell, one, $500; II. r.
Baskervill, one, $500; Joseph E. Willard,
one. $500; M. Patterson, one, $500;
Misses Stewart, one, $500. Total, ST.
600.
The committee decided to make an
active canvass for more founders at
$500 each and also life members at 500
each. This canvass must be completed
by Jan. 13.
II is proposed to buy farm near
Richmond, equip it, place a competent
matron in charge, and offer accom-
modations to all incorrigible girls in the
State between the years OF eight and
eighteen, so that they may be placed on
this farm, with good surroundings, IN
stead of in Jail. Mr.. John z. Branch
is president Of the organization.

IN MEMORIAM

We are again reminded that in the
midst of life we are in death. " The
death of Thompson Briggs came as
great shock to his friends here, where
he was so we'll and 80 favorably known;
The sad news spread like wild fire and
carried gloom to every household. The
kind, loving friend. always the courteous
noble gentleman. the beloved husband
and father, died when manhood 3 morn
ing almost touched noon.
His death has been duly chronicled,
but we feel as if he deserved more than
a passing tribute. His short life was
so filled with good deeds. his heart so
full of love for all, he will be sadly
missed from his church and the poor in
the parish. 1--WE asked life Of thee
and thou gavest long life forever and
ever"
We gladly lay this small tribute OF
affection and esteem on his new made
crave S. w. w.
