IA F?IEND_IN NEEl I They all lived together in the Palladium Flats?a cheerful build? ing, neither very extensive nor very towering, and with nothing im? posing about it excepting perhaps its name! The DoliteLs?bachelor brother, maiden sister, and widowed moth? er?occupied the topmost suite of apartments, and two contiguous rooms overlooking; an empty and [airy courtyard were tenanted re? spectively by a pretty saleslady and a pale young music teacher.? They had been neighbors for a.rear or more and they had all become quite neighborly together. "Only Maud Kayne is so much more sociable and obliging than the music teacher is," the Dolitels used to say among themselves. "Kachel Leonard may be just as generous and sympathetic, even) if she. is so undemonstrative," Mr. Kit D?hrel was inclined to main? tain. "Oh, she. ain't sympathetic a bit." dissented the maiden sister?a di? minutive and colorless personage with somewhat characterless fea tares. ''While mamma was "so alarmingly ill she never came near us?though to be sure she did send to inquire if she could be of ser? vice. Hut Maud the dear soul! was in and out constantly, and al ways advising something to help us." '?Her advice was no sacrifice to her," bachelor Kit said. "And if I werealariniugly ill, I fancy I should not care to have anybody in and out constantly, chattering and gossip? ing. "And her chatter did sometimes rather torture my poor weak head,7? m^^^U^ffim^i l?ing which was really helpful. But she intended everything in the world for a friend." "She quite insisted I should take that lovely zouave jacket?it was a present to her, too; and to be sure 1 do not need it a bit," said the somewhat rapid Miss Dolitel. '?If cost her nothing." the broth? er commented with an amused twinkle in his line, frank giayeyes. "And she cannot wear it herself? sky blue embroidered in silver does not eminently become a sallow brunette!" "She is always insisting we shall take some trifle from her," said the mother, ignoring the sarcastic com? ment; "and I had much rather she would not. But she can afford to make little gifts to her friends, I suppose; she certainly earns a good deal more moi.ey than Ba cbel does." "Teaching music is not always a lucrative vocation," Kit observed soberly. "Oh, but Rachel does not care to make gifts to any one?she is such a miserly little creature," said the sister. "She actually begrudges ?the keeping of her parrot, Maud savs." "Maud must have been joking," Mis. Dolitel interposed. "She would not be likely to begrudge the keeping of a pet like that?it is a wonderfully intelligent and rarely taught- bird, and valuable beside.? One other pupils would give her a hundred dollars for it any day." "And she would not part with it lor a bundled times the sum. She) has nothing to love, she says. She is an uncommonly silly girl, think," the not particularly bril? liant Miss Dolitel said, with a little 'shrug ofher diminutive shoulders. "Aud she has need enough of money, too?I am persuaded ot that. She has worn nothing but shabby old cashmeres ever since she has been in the house," Mrs. Dolitel said, iu a suddenly altered aud fail? ing tone, and she abruptly dropped the needlework which some mo incuts she had held in an uncertain sort of way. "You have been exerting your? self too much, mother," said Kit, anxiously regarding the changing countenance of his ihigile parent. "You are ill again, mamma," the daughter cried, as she hurried to the sola wheie the invalid reclined, now iaiut and gasping, as spasm of pain wrenched ber weakened fiaine Aud ill again she was. indeed? so ill that for days and (lays she lay in a darkened room, to which the exceedingly sociable aud oblig? ing Maud Kayne was refused ad? mittance. "Do let me go to her! I could be such a help to her, auu a little chat would soothe her so much. And! am always so happy when I cau do something for a friend," supplica? ted the young lady, her ringed hands clasped beseechingly, her shoe-black eyes very soleinu and .sympathetic. "You cannot go to her yet; moth? er must have absolute quiet," Kit answered with ungaliant obstinacy. "Kit don't Intend to be uncivil," said his'sister, wlio was whimper? ing plaintively in one corner of the big hair cloth sola, "Ho is very ibnd of you, just as we all are; he appreciates .your uusellish sympa? thy lor us.and your generous de? sire to assist us. Aud to be sure we never needed a friend as we do now." "you have no immediate cause to feel disheartened, Sis," the brother remarked, with a disap? proving glance, towards the small figure crouched on the sofa. "Ah, then there is really no dan? ger; dear Mrs. Dolitel will recover," interpolated Maud, mistaking the import of what had just been ut? tered. "Uh, mamma will soon be well again. But misfortunes never come singly and we are in such trouble," was wailed from the sofa. The young lady looked very in? terested and commiserative, and Kit frowned and turned away as if the topic were no less unprofitable than distasteful. "All the whole year Kit had been so unfortunate about getting work," ?continued the weeping Miss Doli? tel, unheeding the frown?"aud where there is so much illness and no employment there are always debts and difficulties about rent and everything. To lie sure the rent is not so much to owe; but we must pay the quarter at once or we must leave the apartments, the agent *ays." l4iiow very sad," murmured Maud, looking decidedly uneasy.? Perhaps sin? felt that her unselfish sympathies were beiuy tested too severely just then. "I do not ininq a bit for myself," the other resumed, '?Kit ami I can always manage somehow! But mamma is too weak to be taken away; the excitements would be fa? tal to anybody justcoiivalcscing as she is." "Dear Mrs. Dolitel could remain with me, you know that," Maud said, hastily, ami with another un? easy glance toward Kit, for whom she had an unaffected partiality; "but 1 am afraid my room would be entirely too uiiqiiiwtfbrher disorder ed nerves! she would be distracted by the eternal prating and screech- i ing of the odious parrot. I cannot understand why B ichel Leonard keeps such a disagreeable bird; but then she is not the sor^ of girl to have any consideration for neigh? bors." Kit, standing by a window and gazing impatiently down into the busy avenue, smiled dryly beneath ids fcuio costly that I shall be obliged to scrimp my own board money for a long time lo come, 1 fear. I a n so sorry you did not mention the matter be? fore 1 had invested all my savings, and a good deal I have yet to earn beside." "We know yon are sorry, dear," Miss Dolitel sighed, ruefully. "But we take the wui for the deed, and thank you just the same. You must not fret iibont us, Mi indie," she added, as the young lady moved toward the door; but Kit looked only amused as the door closed behind her. -1 have a notion our worries have unsettled your wits, sis," he said, with a look of profound annoy? ance. "You must know I should never request nor receive such a loan from any young woman, and assuredly not from Maud Kayne, whose refusal is precisely what I should have predicted, the lovely zouave jacket and sundry specious tritJes notwithstanding. People who so zealously thrust undesired tri? fles upon their neighbors are often i the people who deny the one thing Which would be beneficial and real? ly prized," he concluded, seiltenti ously. As he still lingered by the win? dow, his mind reverted to the de? preciated young music teacher who had never been prodigal of her neighborly civilities, who had held herself aloof with gentle dignity, and who had nothing to love but a great green parrot. "But even a great green parrot is preferable to an in.-iucere friend," he thought. Just Iben there was.a sound of foot-stepson the stairs oulside, then a sweet voice'responsive t> deep bass, which was unfamiliarand heu a timid little tap upon the door. "Come in," the maiden sister call? ed fretfully from her disturbed re I pose among the soft cushions. At the instant Kit turned to be? hold Kachel Lennard??a lair, slim girl with huge, grave eyes and calm face of a pictured Madonna. She was nut alone?a, pre posses sing old gentleman held open tlie door for her that she might intro? duce himself anil his errand. He was the lather of one ofher pupils, she gracefully explained, and he had come to tender her neighbor a vacancy in his manu fatory. '?But the explanation is not com-1 plete," the gentleman said, as he placed a detained hand upon the arm oi the girl who, with a beautiful blush, had turned to withdraw. '-Yon must not be allowed to remain igno? rant of the sacitice Miss Kachel pro? posed to make tor you. Wlien she became aware of the difficulty about your rent, she felt a neighborly de? sire to aid you, and so she deter? mined to sell a possession she val nes a thousand times more than the sum my daughter has again and again vainly offered. But as much as we should have liked to secure the wonderful parrot,,' neither my daughter or myself could have per? mitted Miss Kachel lo part from the pet to which she is so greatly attached?we preferred to aid you differently and with more pleasure to a lady whom we have learned to regard with affec. innate esteem. We have already adjusted the un? pleasant affair with the agent, Mr. Dolitel, and you may begin your duties in the manufactory as soon 'as yon deem most convenient to j yourself." And then the prepossessing old gentleman released the charming? ly embarrassed Kachel, aud so be? took his beuigu aud satisfied self! away. "A friend in need is a friend in? deed," Kit quoted with x mischiev ions glance toward his amazed and delighted maiden sister. "Do I ell her how grateful we all are to her, Kit," came faintly from the darkened room where the in? valid mother had been sleeping restiully/uutil aw.iked by the deep bass tones of their benefactor. At the bidding, aud with astrange ly commingled sense of hesitancy and eagerness, he followed Kachel, who had already retreated to her own apartment. As he paused on the threshold, he beheld her bonding over the great green parrot which, with an almost human intelligence was peering at the sweet flushed face all wet with lears. "Door pet," she was saying; "and you are all I have." But the words?lew and hushed and simple?were eloquent ofher ut ter lonelinessjof her womanly capa city of affection; and ofher nobler capacity ol serving a friend in need. With a countenance agitated oy a tenderness no longer controllable. "Yon have more than this, Kach? el" he began, huskily. "You have what might have been yours long ago, had yon not been too shy to listen to the pleadings of my luve for you." She lifted her beautiful calm eyes and smiled; the sweet lips trembled with some magic utterance, aud then he drew her to his heart and covered the fair face with happy kisses. '?Our friend in need is to be yet dearer to us, mother," Kituinouu ced, aslie led Kachel to thecotivales cent, "Kachel is tu be yOur daugh? ter." Miss Maud Kayne was effusive wiiii her congratulations, but she did not loug rcinuiu a resident of i he Palladium flats. She complain? ed that her iicighburs hail become tuu unseeable for her exceedingly sympathetic soul, aud that they had uccoine disagreeably curious about a certain expensive purchase which she had somehow failed lu consum? mate; aud su she decided to trans fer herself to a moiecongenial place I of abode.?Jittie Kodgers. What is Money Worth! Looking at life from one direct ion. we see in it a vast system of exchange. We are continually -buying aud selling, parting with some tilings to gain others, yield? ing up what we value less lor what we value more This is by uo means confined to the batterings of commerce in material things.? The exchanges made of things that are handled tdrm only one division of the gieat commerce of life. Men are daily selling labor and tiiiie, comfort aud health, wie and knowl? edge, sometimes even truth and honor, and receiving in return something that we suppose tu be better. iu the transfer of material things money has com i to be the most convenient medium. In all the complex systems of commercial life it plays a most important part, aud forwards transactions that would otherwise be impossible. In utilizing the labor, the skill and the talents of mankind, and bringing producer and consumer into rela tioiis ol mutual benefit, it is invalu? able; and thus, as a means to nn merous desirable ends, it is justly prized and sought lor. In proper tion, however, to the great value of j money as an instrument, is its ut? ter uselessuess as an end in itself. If it should lie iu heaps oil a desert island, the famished traveler, cast upon the shore, would pass it by unheeded ill his eager search for a root or a clustci of wild berries, its only worth to any one is what it will enable him to procure. This truth is so frequently lost sight of that money comes largely to be regarded not only as an end, but as the one end must desirable and most earnestly sought after.? Seeing that it can do so much peo? ple imagine that it can do all, and so are willing to barter everything else for it. Instead of regarding money as a step by which to reach something really valuable, they re gard other thing i as steps by which to reach money, and estimate them accordingly. VVhac ought to be served by It they degrade into servants to it. The common expression, 'time is money,' savors of this fallacy. It is used to heighten a sense of the value of time, as its chief and best use was to earn money, and herein lay the only reason for not wasting it. Those who thus reason, buy gold often at a fearful price. They give for it their whole time, which is their life, and sacrifice the many, other uses to which it may be'put. But no re exchange is possible.? All their wealth o.innot purchase a single wasted opportunity. Sure? ly time is much more than money, and may well claim a respect and value of its own, quite apart from the dollars and cents it can com? mand! Education is another thing which is often valued, not for it? self, but merely as a stepping-stone to wealth. We give it to the young aud they take it, not so much that they may become, through it, bet? ter, nobler, happier and more use? ful men aud women, as that they may gain the power of rising from a lower to a higher station, from poverty to mediocrity, or lrom mediocrity to wealth. Thus the ed? ucation that only fits them to adorn a humble position happily and con? tentedly, instead of cultivating ambitions" longings; that cherishes health and strength of body, aud tills the mind with resources for its own activity, and power for its own activity and power for its own development, without any direct reference to amassing a fortune, is too often neglected for narrower and shallower instruction. Is not the mind more than the purse? Shall we sell the one to fill the oth? er? or shall we not rather spend freely of our gold to build up the intellect, to strengthen the reason, to cultivate the taste, to tortify the principles! There are many other things too valuable iu themselves to barter for money, but which money will be honored by subserving, Health is one of them. Id may bo sacri ficed at the shrine of gold, but the wealth thus purchased corrodes iu the hand of him who holds it.? Love may be cast aside and killed by neglect iu the hot chase for for? tune, but n; riches, however great can buy it back again. Honor, truth and principle may be sold for money, but the wealth of the Indies cannot restore them. Let us then learn wisdom in all our exchanges. We regret our tolly when we have beeil illdliCP.d t.n liiLU tnnrp, fur Kfinio have made what we call a poor bargain, but, no bargain can be so poor as that which men voluntarily make when they part with their most choice ami priceless posses? sions, without stint, for a handful of gold. Of course we must buy money for our needs, and pay a fair price for it; but, as in other purchases, so in this, let our best judgment decide what it is worth to us, how much wc require, and what we can honorably iift'ord to give for it.? Some of our time, our labor, our strength, our talents may thus be wisely expended, but if we devote the whole, or if we give health or honor, love or virtue, we shall be left poor indeed, though we couut our wealth by millions.?Philadel? phia Ledger. An Incident of the War. Of General Alpheus Baker, now of this ciry, formerly a citizen of Eufaulu, Ala., a lawyer by profes? sion and an orator of great sweet? ness of diction and power, the fol? lowing incident is related: He owned a slave called Paris, be? fore the war and at the time the first gnu was fired at Sampler. The slave was a huge negro, very dark in complexion, six feet two iu stat? ure, and correspondingly large in frame, making a perfect speci neu of manhood physically. The Gen? era' quit his family to follow the fortunes of the Confederacy. He said to his servant Paris; "J am go? ing to the war, Paris; will you go with me?" Paris, who loved aud ad mired his master, at once assented, and followed the wanderings of his master as a devoted squire, until the General, with those associated with him, was captured by Gener? al John Pope at Island .No. 10 iu che Mississippi river. In the pres? ence of the Federal soldiers, when the Gei:eial was about to be hurri? ed off as a prisoner to Johnson,s Island, his servant Paris came to see him. Iu the interview which took place iu which much that was affection? ate occurred betweeu the master and his old servaut, the General said to him: ??Well, Paris, what are yon going to do?" Paris replied: "V\ elljinassa, with the help of God, I'm going back to the inistus and chil'rcn The two old friends, who had been boys together on the old plantation iu the "Land of Rest," and were about the .vauie age, shook hands in silence and in tears. Paris turned to go, but had gone but a few ftet away from his master when he turned towards him again his soul swelled up from its lowest depths and his countenance all aglow with the fervor of pure affec? tion, and rushed iuto his master's arms, weeping like an infant, and eX'-laimiiig,"Massa,letmehugyou!" The two men clasped each other and their sighs and sobs brought tears to the eyes of the victors who surrounded them; aud the expies siou was heard, "Great God, see what affection betweeu master aud Iiis old servant!" And that affection betweeu mas ter and his worthy''servant remains today in all the South, and will be a bulwark of the conservative ele? ment of the country through all coming time.?Louisville Courier Journal. The Manners of Boys. Boys at a certain age, are apt to be awkward. Outdoor exercise and sports do much to make them strong and straight; yet it is very common among those who are growing fast (especially if they read or study a good deal), to find the head thrust forward, the shoulders round and stooping, and a slouching, ungrace? ful carriage. Until these things are corrected, no boy can be thorough? ly strong and vigorous. Biting the nails is one. of the most auoying habits, and yet one which almost any boy will fall into unless his/ mother "hips it iu the bud." IS/ only is it almost unendurable/ a nervous persou to sit in the with oue of tbese nail-bitiug but the young man's hands are. jured in appearence, and if the ban it be carried to excess, they will be? come almost deformed, lu these days of professional.manicures, mothers ought, at least to see that there are no ragged nails and raw liugers among their children. A habit of suutliiig, or scraping the throat, of tapping the floor with the foot, or the table with the knuckles, comes on gradually, but once fixed is ex? ceedingly dificult to overcome. "Eternal vigilance" should be a mother's watchword, lor the true secret of curing bad habits is in uever allowing them to be formed. The "ounce of prevention" is worth more than the "pound of cure." would not take away anythiug of boyishness or naturalness. A real boy is worth half a dozen fops or dudes. But I do not see why boys should not be as graceful and well mauuered as their sisters; why they cauuot sit down at a table without hitting it and jarring the dishes as well as the tempers of the whole family; why they cannot cross a room without stumbling against the furniture; or close a door with? out slamming it. or quietly while reading or listening. It should be perfeeily natural for a boy to lift his hat to his mother or sister when he chances to meet them on the street; to rise from a comfortable chair wheu older peisons enter the room; to entertain a visitor when the rest of the household is engage ed. Do you say it is too much for a boy to think of all these things? if the mother has traiuud him from babyhood constantly and carefully he will do them without thinking. Good mauuers are a growth, and piace, in w?ic? 't'uey'"suoui'u grow." What "Blue Blood"'j Really Means. The term blue blood, from the Spanish phrase saugre azul, is much used without a very clear idea of its signification. Its real meaniug is?"not that the blood it? self is blue (excepting that all ven? ous blood has a bluish tinge)?but that the persons or class to whom the terra is applied have skins so white and transparent that the veins show blue through them, and this is taken as a certain indication that the class or person thus desig? nated is without an admixture of races. Any one who has traveled in Spanish-American countries, or in Spain, where the term origb uated, would see at ouce its appli? cability. The descend.mts of the Gothic conquerors of Spain retain to this day the characteristics of their an cestors the white, transparent skin, blue, eyes, and auburn tawny hair, aud their veins show blue through their cuticle; but in case of an admixture of African or Moorish blood, the blue blood (vein) gradually disappears, until in a case of great preponderance of the latter races the veins show merely as ridges. Tourists in Mex? ico will notice this peculiarity in ail of the Mexican cities, as in the haciendas throughout that country, on account of the great admixture of Indians (Aztec, Toltec, and Tis callau) blood in the population, aud everywhere they wilt find that the people whose veius show blue through the skin are the ruling classes. --m 0 Toinpiii's Danger. There is reported danger that the latest eruption of Vesuvius will overwhelm Pompeii afresh.? The whole ol the old citv has uot yet been disinterred by any means. It is slow work to resurrect a wealthy place which ouce contained at least 2U,00() inhabitants, from ."ueh a deep tomb of ashes and scoriae; and furthermore the work had to be prosecuted with extreme caution. Keckless haste might re? sult in the destruction of priceless works of art; a too sudden expos? ure to light and air might cause masterpieces of fragile material to crumble into dust.

Enterprise. ACCOMAC COVKT-IIOl'SE. VA. SATURDAY, JULY IS, 1SS3: Entered at the rostoflicc at Accomac C, II.. Va.. as sccoml-class mutter. The proceedings of the Republi? can State Convention at the city of R ehmoml, reported elsewhere, dein* onstrated beyond a doubt that Mahone was master of the situation. Croner's mild dissent to the meth? ods of the Boss, Hubbard's appeal to the convention to show to the Democrats that they were not lin? ger the dictatorship of Mahone, Kiddleberger's ravings under the fetters which bound him to his master, availed nothing. Mahone planned and through his represen? tatives dictated the course of pro it t dings in convention, and the members like so many puppets danced in response to his wishes. Most of them submitted at the more nod of the boss, cajoleiy and flattery was necessary to control others; and nothing short of a kiss by little Hilly could soothe the tur? bulent spirit of "the game cock of the Valley" but all were taught in S"ine way to succumb to the wishes of the great "Outcast of Virginia," and whero bis black plume waves in the coming cam? paign?there they will follow. One comment only is necessary-?men who are willing tobe slaves deserve such a master. A question of more moment is, can enough recreant Virginians be found to deliver our proud old Commonwealth over again to the hands of her great arch foe? We do not believe enough Virginians are dead to the sacred memories of their State, their own honor and best interests, to allow it. Wise, Wood and Blair are the trio which are expeeted to beguile you from the path of duty ?Wise who once declared that Virginia Republicans were "aims fates for the price oft heir apostacy," Wood, with an unknown record, Blair infamous as the "Donor won't buy a breakfast man." Cau they do it? We cannot believe that enough Virginians yet are lost to that sense ot shame aud are so blinded to their interests. It having been reported by the Cleveland naif oraei'eif nt? niHner lemuvals, but that vacancies other? wise should only be filled, a "prom? inent Democrat," interviewed by a 2s'. Y., Sun reporter, entirely denies this statement. He says that on the contrary the President will cease the requirement of proot of "offensive partisanship5' but will proceed speedily to removals. We, in Virginia need the removal of every Republican office-holder? and especially of the Clay type.? The retention of this man at the demand of the 2few York Mug wumps is nu ofieuce to every Dem? ocrat in the country. "Kick him out" is the demand of Democracy, of policy and houest purpose. We trust the "prominent Demo? crat" declares that true purpose of the President. Let the headsman be to his post, and let the ax fall rap id'y with undulled edge until the head of every Mahoneite Kepubli cau shall lie in the basket. "Steady!" "Pace trout!" "Close up!" So runs down the line the call to the party of liberty?the party of right?the Democratic party of Virginia. In the city of Richmond Biiffin and Black George lately in convention, offer? ed the voters of this Common? wealth candidates lor Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Atty. Gen? eral. They will soon be in the field. Let the Democracy of this State bear in miud that to them? and them only?the country looks to right the wrong of white men, "who," in Uie lauguage of "Win. C Elam, editor of the Richmond Whig, "renounce all other previous professions aud practices, sliuk from their own color and kindred, and foregather with dirty freed man," for political pelf and office. The duty of the Democracy is plain?its charge must be with unbroken front, lu a few days its delegates will put before the peo? ple worthy representatives?and then let them heed the orders, "Steady!" "Face front!" "Close np!" Hon. John S. Barbour, has writ? ten a letter iu reply to a request from lriends to allow his name to go be? fore the Virginia Democratic con? vention vt a candidate for Gover? nor. Whilst highly appreciating the compliment, Mr. Barbour says he "would be compelled by circum? stances to decline the nomination it tendered." He says the reasons which impel him to take this course are conclusive to his mind, and he hopes will be satisfactory to his friends. It is understood Mr. Bal? horn-will be a candidate for Senator to succeed Gen. Mahone, should the Democrats carry the Legislature. TIB0I51A NEWS.

He is al? so quoted as saying that changes in the Virginia postoffices wonld be made with due diligence. Boss Mnlione's Convention. Boss Mahone, chairman of the Republican State Committee, call? ed his convention to order about noon of last Wednesday. Of the 050 delegates present, 200 were col? ored. Mahone addressed the con? vention, acknowledging the honor bestowed and expressing his ap? preciation of the continued confi? dence so warmly manifested. He did not court the trust reposed in him, because of tireless anxiety it imposed, and would rejoice when the time would come when he could give it up. The cause iu which they were engaged was the cause of hu? man lights and American unity; the cause which gave protection to American labor. They were here to give expression to sentiments of of an outraged people, and by this outspoken sentiment they might rest assured thatiji November next the people of the Commonwealth would signify their abhorrence of the. manner in which affairs had been administered. The cnirpaigu would be inaugurated to enforce f he readjuster settlement of the pu b lic debt and defeat the enforced re? pudiation which their bourbou op? ponents would impose. Gen. Ma? hone closed with a scathing tirade against bourbou leadership and bourbon methods in the State. He then, as chairman of the State committee, called the convention to order, and introduced Hon- Win. Lamb, of Norfolk, as tempurary chairman. Ex Speaker of t he House ofDele gatos I, C Fowler, of Bristol, sub? mitted a resolution providing for the appointment by the chair of a com? mittee to be composed of two dele? gates from each congressional dis? trict, to whom was to be referred without debate all resolutions iu regard to manner of conducting nominations, platform or party poli? cy. Gen. V. D. Gruner, of Norfolk city, proposed as substitute that this committee should be appointed by delegates Irom each congression? al district instead of the chair, (Mr. Lamb.)

On July 4th, a game of base ball took place on Chincoteague Island, between the club from Lewes, Del., (who call themselves the champions of Sussex county, Del.,) and the Chincoteague club. The appended score shows that the home nine played a fine up hill game, not getting faiilv at work until tl.e 3rd inning. The Delaware beys are well organized and a gentlemanly set of fel? lows. They excelled in the field, but the Virginia boys were better at the bat. Thanks are due Clayton Dennis for um? piring.

The "Red Stockings" of Sunnyside, Northampton county, through The Enteupuise offer to play a match game of base ball with any nine on the Eas? tern Shore of Virginia. They suggest if the challenge is accepted, that the place of meeting be at the Fair Ground on one of the days the fair is held thereg this year. Obltnary. The many friends of Mrs. Mattie Win? der will be sorry to hear of her death. She was the daughter of Rev. P. A. Leatherbury, and wife of Mr. E.J. Win? der, a thrifty young farmer living near' Onancock. She was married about eighteen months ago. Mr. Winder built a nice residence on his farm shortly af? ter their marriage and the bride planned it to suit herself. They lived in it but two weeks, and then went to Florida for her health. Returning last May, she was not much improved in health and in the face of all that could be done for her recovery, she passed away on the moruiugof July 14th. The ailment was rapid consumption. The funeral services were held July 15ih, at 3 p. m. in the M. E. church of Onancock Rev C A. Grice, the pastor, Rev. Mr Wadkins of Cape Charles City, and Rev Mr Vaden of the ME church South, officiated. She was buried at Mi- Winder "s homestead Her life isher monument Northampton County. agricultural meeting. At a meeting of the farmers of North? ampton at East vi lie, last Monday, Dr. Alex. Thorn was selected chairman and Thomas M. Scott, becretary. The ob? ject of the meeting was stated in a short and forcible speech by Dr. A. Brocken borough to be for the purpose of selt c tinga (Ulegate to the Fanners' Conven? tion tobe held in th" city of Richmond, during August. Through the Conven? tion I>r. Hrockenborouirh said he hoped forthat concert of action among the farmers of Virginia so essential to their prosperity. The public schools, oyster interest, fertilizers, immigration and other kindred subjects would be brought to the attention of the Convention, all of them being matters of much liupor tancc to the people of Northampton, and she surely could not afford to be unrepresented in the Convention of fanners. On motion of Dr. P. A. Fitzhugh. a committee of three was appointed from each district in the county to select a standing County Committee. The first committee consisting of Jesse Williams, Washington Hunt, Laban J. Beloate, Dr. P. Fitzhugh, Dr. A. Brockenbor ough, John E. Nottingham, RichardE. Floyd, James B. Heiland John T.

On mo? tion the meeting adjourned. Cobbs' Island. Cobbs' Island as a summer resort un? der the management of its accomodat ing and courteous proprietor, Mr. J. T. Spady, grows every year in popular fa? vor. At times since the season begun, it has been impossible to accommodate all the visitors. Several were at the Taylor House this week, awaitil g the departure of guests before they could be received. Dr. P. A. Fitzhugh as physician was well chosen, his services to the proprietor being invaluable not only in his professional capacity but in many other respects. The following were among the arrivals last week: R. M. Quailes and wife, Miss MaryE. Quarles, Mrs. C. W. Knight, Mrs. O.E. Wingo, Mrs. G. W.

Johnson will receive the appointment as keeper of Smith's Islaud Light. The appointment of Mr. Dunton to the Hog Island Light instead of Mr. Jos. B. Ames, who was an appli cant causes considerable dissatisfaction. Candidates. Mr. S. S. Wilkins, Capt. A. T. Ashby, and Dr. A. Brockeiiborough, candidates for nomination for House of Delegates were industriously at work in placing their claims before the dear people, last Monday, court day. Each of course claims to be ahead in the race,and it mat? ters not wh o wins, as all are good dem ocrats and good haters of Mahone. A correspondent, who signs himself "Voter" savs that Ashby seems to be the choice among the Floater candidates for the House of Delegates. In his opinion if we had more such men as Capt. Ashby to rill important positions we would have better times. Died. Melson?Near Johnsontown, Thurs? day, Oth inst., Mrs "Virginia Melson, wife of Wm. Melson, and daughter of Augustus Drummond.

The exercises con? sisted of vocal and instrumental music, essays. &c. There were eighteen grad? uates, sixteen in the teacher's and two in the scientific course, an increase of thirteen over last year. The audience was exceedingly large and there was more than the usual amount of flowers, congratulatory cards. Sic. After the commencement exercises the audience arose for the benediction, when to the surprise and astonishment of all pres? ent, Prof. Hoenshel, principal of the college, and Miss Carrie Moffett a mem? ber of the graduating class this year, stepped forward and were married, the ceremonv being performed upon the stage before the audience was dismissed by the Rev. A A. P. Neal, of Lecsburg. Miss Moffett is a niece of Htm. J. H. Moffett of Ilarrisoubmg, Va. For one so wrapped up in educational works, no time or placecould have been more suitable than the one selected by I'rofv Hoenshel and may his pathway through life be strewn with flowers as profusely as the stage on which the "nuptial knot" was tied is the wish of a Student.

A Tribute to Woman. As a rapid and exhaustive ob? server woman outshines man more than the beauty of day at high twelve surpasses the Uiekor of a brimstone match. With one little bat of her eye a woman can see things to which man with all his boasted discernment remains for ever blind, and though she may be somewhat .slow about getting up in the morning, oi in lixing herself up n? go somewhere, she is quick of eye and wide sweeping in her glance. The focusing machinery in the visionary department of her mechanism is always in gear, aud operates with lightning precision without hitch or irietiou. Put her in a cannon and shoot her through a millinery store, and if she sur? vives the shock to her nerves siie can tell you ivitb a precision that. M-euis phenomenal the exact shade in eve.y ribbon in the entire cou c? in.

If you want wis uoin of any description that is visi? ble iroui the uou-etop or a box at lue opera, blindfold yourself and lud her gaze. With one corner of tu. i eye she will see more iu the i.r,.^meut. of an instant thau you ct t,.d discern iu two weeks with a ueid glass. For breadth, scope and ;n curacy the amount of observa to.ii she can grasp with a single wink-makes a government survey sv? m contracted and deficient. Clues All Around. A boy about twelve years old re? ported to a policeman the oilier day that a robbery had occurred at the house under very mysterious circumstances. The sum of &J5, wnich was in a china vase on a bracket, had taken wings. "Weie any of the (buns or win? dows found open?"asked the officer. -No." -And you haven't picked up any eines, eh?" ?'That's the trouble, sir?there's claes till you can't rest. I wan't to jit. id! and camp out, and dad thinks 1 cribbed the money. Dad wants t'- go to Chicago, aud maim thinks l e's got the bundle. Manu wants a new summer wrap, aud dad says .-lie clawed them ducats for sure.?

Tell you what, mister, when 1 see how many clues can be picked up on a iu lie case 'ike this, it makes me anxious to know which of us will cuuie out on top." How an Old Man May Prolong His Life An old man must clothe warmly. After the age of sixty, any idea of hardihood and of lacing weather must be laid aside; neither the skin iiur the lungs can bear cold. Cold is, in fact, the great enemy of old peo? ple and it is a fact that, if a man of sixty or sixty-five goes to a wann? er climate than that to which he has been accustomed, his life is pro lunged. Warn flannel clothes should be worn next the skin day and night and there should be plenty ot win? ter garments. If there is the least tendency to asthma or attacks of bronchitis, two or'tbree folds of a silk or woolen handkerchief should be \\ovu over the mouth, aud if the weather be very cold, over the nose also. Robins also must be kept warm, for the animal heat iu the man past seventy is often deficient, and in very old people eveu drinks should be taken warm, as the sources of animal heat are being dried up. OKI people will often like, rooms kepi at a temperature of sev? enty degrees or higher, when young? er people are ball' stifled in them. ?Herald ot Health. The Eichest Street In the World. No stteet in the world possesses more value than Fifth avenue. Yet the city derives but one million dol? lars a year iu taxes upon the proper? ty, which shows conclusively that this city sutlers from the epidemic of undervaluation. The total assess? ment upon the property ulong the avenue is but $40 449,000, although it must be worth six orseveu tunes that amount. As an instance of undervaluation, Mr. Vanderbilt's property may be taken. His house cost $o\00.0,M0, exclusive of (he iaiid iipon which it. stands, which is said to be worth half a million more. Yet the whole establishment is as ^eased at ?1,000.000. The house of his son. William K., which is said .Jo have cost 5L',000,000, exclusive of the land, is assessed at S5(?0,000, while that of Mr. Webb, his son in law, quite as expensive in value, is luted at $400,000. Mr. Vanderbilt's former residence which cannot be worth less than ?750,000, is rated at 6140,000. The Stuart marble pal? ace is assessed at S5U0,000. James Cordon Bennett's residence, for w Inch -*350,000 was refused, is rated at S150.0U0, while Robert Bonner, whofc-e place is not much more valu? able, pays taxes on a valuation of ?575,000, which indicates that the owner ol Dexter aud other equally as luinous horses is an honest man. New York Dispatch. Mr. J.M. McCann, of Bridgeport, W.
