The mania fs at fever heat, ap: few questions asked as the fitness of UUme or place; consequently the work goes on Recently when at Old Polnt, I met a part of the joint select committee appointed by the Speaker of the House last December, and a sirailal mittee appointed by the Senate, accor by Goverbor Hallday, of Virgiula, who i Yorktown in view of making hecessary arranse- ments for a celebration of the centennial anni- yersary of the surrender of Cornwallis, October 19, iSsi_and of selecting a site for the mona which an appropriation of $100,001 last session, to be erected tn mez nt.

Yorktown fs a deso! lace. I do not wonder Cornwallis surrendered. e Most cheerful looking spot to be Seen Is the Dational cemetery. And the monument will be the only attraction, and, as only a few feel interest in events of a hundred years sco, this will not prove a magnet.

The old cuurch, that ‘Was said to be the oldest in America, was de- stroyed beyond hope of resurrection during the late war.

Another of our party ex- pressed perfect willingness to erect a monu- ment at bis own expense in memory of a Lewly-elected readjuster if he would die a hatural death. Ido not know asthe readjust- ers death would be a matter of rejoicing in Beaven, but it would be to his opponents. Of course I mean political death. It is claimed the Senator-elect has no conscience. My reply Was that conscience was an unparilamentary ‘Word, and was not supposed to be used by poi- iUcians, as the quality was obsolete, and not Becessary in an election of the present day. It Js no longer a question even in the presidential Contest who will be elected, Dut who will be In- Eo Itis true, I am a little old style, but J itke good men, honorabiy elected to fil the Offices of state, and hope we may return 10 the old time custom before it is too late. We are playing the hit or miss game now, and It ts & dangerous experiment with nation or {ndlvii- uals. When visiting Yorktown, I expressed a Wish to take in Spotsylvania Court Hous, the Scene of the “Last Surrender,” when conv erate guns were silenced forever, Dut could aot enthuse my escorts. No doubt a hundret years hence the place will be regarded with patriotic fervor, and a national monument mark the ‘Spot. Posterity will make no distinction between friends and enemies, between victor and van- quished. Death and time will neutralize the whole and Americans rejoice In the name and fame of the 19th century. The next century Will not be so dependent upon tradition as the Present. Many Claim tn these modern days of Progressive civilization that tradition is much Weaker than written or printed record of facts abd events. We are apt to express surprise that truth should be traced to this source. In the primitive sense of the word we derive all from tradition. The church has her traditions and state 1s not behind. Consider how few are the links In the great cable which connects the present with the past, only through the chain of memory and the bolts of eireum- Stances. Recently I visited the birth-place of Washington and was made to realize how do. pendent we are upon unwritten history for the early events of life. Now, Iam to give you & Westmoreland tradition, and if any one can give a better version of the American eagle than the following I will surrender the laurel crown that was awarded me for tracing out a the American eagle.

It is satd, and why should It not be true? that the love of the Westmoreiaid eagle suggested to Washin; the emblem of Liberty, and that from the feathers that w: made the quills that wrote and signed the Declaration of Indepen- dence. Be this true or not, Westmorelanders venerate the traditional tree with Virginian gard to state lines, hence their records are na- ‘icnal—they Pence I would est that in irteen states ir Capitals should be erected monu- mpents “to the riots of 1776,” and leave the monumental tribute of the civil war for the next generation to determine upon many For miast the din and biaze of battle, In the fury of tha ficht, Who stays to #sk where justice is Or which side bac the rights But when the binding emoke has passed, When ion’s flage are fur The calm, ead voice of Histor: Five trum to alt the world. mericans to them; Nor will their fame decay.

I forgot to mention that the Westmoreland farmers refer with pride to the fact that tne constructors for strengthent the base of Washbington’s monument in the capital city purchased the gravel for this all along their coast, inciuding the home of Washington. This seemed eminently proper, and {t is to ba hoped the work of completion will go op. Now is the time to the Work with vigor if they hope to reach results in the present century.

Ministers Not Deadheads, The recent controversy over the propriety of @ minister's ieee py, ea for the payment of funeral fees, moves a Troy preacher to remark that he has attended several hundred funerals, and taken many hard colds as a consequence, riding several miles in extreme heat and ex- treme cold, through wind and storm,consuming many days of time, and often paying somethin: for traveling expenses, but has never received a nny for such services, nothing having ever ‘n offered in more than three or four cases. And nine-tenths of the funerals were of per- sons who were not members of his own church, and their surviving friends would noteven do him the compliment to go and hear him preac' or apy other minister for that matter. The preacher continues in this indignant strain: “I recall one instance In a neighboring city when Iwas sent forin the middle of the night to Visit a man who was supposed to be dying. He kept me by his bedside a large part of two days and nights, and at length I went to at- tend his funeral ina town some twenty miles away. In another instance I was sent for to soothe a crazy man, and actually spent a whole day with him, when I was more than half sick myself, trying, with some success, to calm bis mind and turn his thoughts from his ailments. I am sent for by wives to reform their drunken husbands; sent for to reconcile husbands and wives that have parted—persons I never saw, and know nothing about; sent for to help peo- ple get work, and for many other purposes which I will not enumerate. For services ot this kind I have never received a penny, and never desired it. I do not refer to these matters to complain that the minister 1s called upon for such services, I am glad to perform them, and glad to perform them without pay, and am’con- scious that many persons who are hot ministers perform like services. It ts our delight to help suffering humanity in every possible way. I only wish you to understand that ministers perform far more such yratuitous services than apy other class of our citizens. And finally, alas! we marry a great many hopefui coupies without pay.” - Borrowing. There are some people to whom birrowing seems a8 natural as breathing; who might al most be said to make a profession of it; who hes pear to have a decided preference for the goo is with which the gods provide others; who are never so well satistled as when using the tools of another; who feel more secure from the a3- Saults of the weather under another’s umbrella, better mounted on a friend’s horse, better dressed In another’s finery; who would sooner borrow a book than read their own; who might naturally be supposed to hanker after another man’s shoes. It does not by any means follow that the ready borrower 13 always the will- ing lender. Farmer Roughenough may have used his nelghbor’s -harness as long as it would nold together, but if it is hinted that he sbould make a return with bis new plough. he begins to feel as if some imposition were. being practiced Ly him; for the first time in his life, perhaps, he begins to look through the spectacles of the lender. There 1s the person who borrows of you in order to be on intimate terms; the one who borrows only to obliga, not vo seem superior to his neighbors; he who bor- rows car tickets and postage stamps—things to) trifling to make an !mpression on his robust {o- tellect; who damages whatever 1s lent him, and pays no attention to the fact; who will bring your horse home lamed, as if that were the nor- mal condition of horses, return your umbrella With dislocated 1ib3, your books with flager prints apd pen¢il-marks. The borrower his usually a bad memory, and a worse conscleace; the fect of bis being obliged to borrow at ali arises generally from tmprovidence, a lack of forethought, or an abuse of his own prop- erty; and be who takes no care of his own will hardly be scrupulous in the care of another's, In the meantime we encoupter not only those who borrow your petsonal effects and your household Penates, bui your opintons, your wit- Ucisms, which they kindly pass off as thelr own; who “never think of thinking for therm- selves at all,” since it 13 so much easter to adopt somebody else’s thoughts, with the advantaze of not being expected to return them. Doubt- less the borrower was sent tuto the world to aiscipiine those whom bis tricks and ways trri- tate; and It ts barely possible that if the soul of the gocd housekeeper were not wrung at times by the temporary surrender of some possession into heedless hands, she might also be fount smong the number of those who plece out their own negligence and wastefainess. by taking ad- vant of the better management of their friends.—Harper’s Bazar. ——<—<———— ee, Barbed Wire Fence.

THB LOVE OF STRONG DRINK INCREASING AMONG ENGLISH WOMEN. {London Truth.] Not long ago a strange scene took place in a pretty sarden not a hundred miles frown Lon- don. The tree-shaded lawn was itered over with seats, with here and there a bright-colored Persian rig for the special behoot of any guests who object’ to open-air amusements on account of the “damp grass.” To some minds gtass Is always Gamp.

They seemed {ull of nods and becks, and whispers of apparently mysterious Import passed amonz them. A carriage drives up to tne gate, and 2 ladies, entering, look round for their hostess. The servants who have sdinttied them goes ia search of his maistress, and a few moments after- ward ayoung and beautifuily dressed woman issues from tbe house, her face deeply flushed, her eyes half closed, and Lor galt uncertain! Just at tits moment another carriage drives up, aAgentleman and Jady belng the occupants. They, too, enter the garden gate, and advance toward the howse across the lawn. As they approach the uncertain, swaying tlcure of their hostess they look at each oth ifleantly, and the lady says in a low yoice: “was afraid of this. Where can Mr. X. be 19 allow her tobe seen in this state?” ‘The interpretation of tho:e Wild locks, that disordered hair, and those meaningless words ts that Mrs. X. fs intoxica- ted, though not sufticiently so to be quite help- less.
