Tin rvs a sound like the surges oi ocean,
Or winds sweeping lorest and glade ;
It comes from an army in motion,
And it cries, "Down with British Free Trade !”
Our thoughts, beyond words, who’ll express

‘‘Here’s to Harrison and Morton ! God bless

And bless, too, Protection’s great cause !”
Here's to Harrison and Morton! God bless

And bless, too, Protection’s great cause!
From the wreck of the past have our foemen
Unearthed a foul beast oi the night.
Which was slain and entombed by our yeomen,
As unmeet for our contact or sight!
But our high hearted heroes will meet them
In harness Protection has made,
And again from the field we shall beat them,
And bury t lie ghost of Free Trade !
Yes, again from the field we shall beat them.
And bury the ghost of Free Trade!
Then will England and Cleveland be weeping
O’er the blunders they recklessly made,
And bandanas their red eyes be sweeping
As they groan over British Free Trade !
Tbuk will Liberty’s goddess address them,
Amidst shouts of enraptured applause :

We had a very pleasant call a week or so
ago by L>r. S. P. Hite of your city, in the
iuterest of his most valuable remedies. A
true type of the Virginia gentleman can
be found in him. Possessed of that genial
disposition and gentlemanly bearing that
win so many admirers. Hope be will visit
our town oftener in the futurp.
Bark hauling is going on at a rapid rate by
Messrs. Austin & Ellison, Hall & Sweeney
and others. The Messrs. Deford & Co.
have not commenced hauling yet, but w ll
by September 1st. Their peeling this year
is estimated at from 1200 to 1500 cords.
Lyudhurst is the point from which it is
being shipped. Most of it goes to the
Luray tannery.
Politics at this place are very quiet at
present. Hope some good speakers wil
give us a good address or so.
We are needing rain very badly again.
The corner loafers mentioned by E. C.
I., not only have the sun to contend witli
but he also has that fearful gnat to subdue
and he can be seen early in the morning
and late in the evening keeping time to
the music of that monster by slapping
right and left at them, and moreover we
mean to flog “'E. C, I.” if lie does not ap
pear oftener. lie has been toating bark
heretofore and now he means to make a
change by putting a wagon on the road.
We wish him the greatest success. May
he ever live long and happy. If I had the
brains he has, I would not toat hark or
haul it either, as lie can talk politics so
fluently, and with his ready wit and good
sound judgment, he would make au excel
lent campaign speaker.
This is my first attempt at anything of
this kind, and I hope Messrs. Editors
that you am} the reading public will look
over all grammatical errors. Fearing I
might tire you, I vanish.

Railrrad Matters.
The scheme for the consolidation of the
Chesapeake aud Ohio and the Richmond
and Alleghany railroad is now a fixed fact,
as it is stated. Operations under the ar
rangement are to commence this fall. The
consolidation will take the Richmond and
Alieghany out of the courts, and furnish
the Chesapeake aud Ohio a double track
from Clifton Forge to Richmond. The
plan is for the Richmond and Alleghany to
issue §5,000.000 of new bonds, upon which
the Chesapeake and Ohio is to guarantee
interest at the rate of 21 or 3 per cent.—
This wili give the heavy freights on the
Chesapeake apd Ohio, such as coal and
lumber, a better grade to Richmond and
save in wear and tear, and also in trans
portation expenses.
The proposition to transfer the remain
ing @105,000 in Rockbridge bonds from the
Valley Railroad to the Vifgiuia Western
is being considered by the Board of Super
visors of Rockbridge. If it is done the
Virginia WeSteru will complete the road
to Salem or Roanoke, or construct au inde
pendent line to strike the Southwest by
Gala Water and continue on through the
, Southwest tier of counties, opening up a
rich and valuable unoccupied section of
couutry.
It is encouraging to notice these schemes
to give railroad facilities to the Valley.
There is no more inviting field for profita
ble railroad operations, or where more ma
terial wealth is awaiting development..
The arrangement about the Virginia

Tariff on Iron Ore,
We have teen informed that it is indus
triously circulated through portions of the
10th district, and especially in the mineral
district of Augusta and ltoekbridge couu
> ties,that Hon. ,1. Randolph Tucker was in
strumental, while in Congress, in having
the tariff on iron ore increased from 50 tc
75 cents. This is a mistake. Mr. Tucker
' not only did not suggest the increase, but
was opposed to it. The increase was due
to Gen. Malione when in the Senate. He
was a member of the Conference Com
mittee on the tariff hill of 1883, aud in
, that capacity offered an amendment to
, the ore schedule to increase the tariff on
1 foreign iron ore to Sf?.00 per ton. This
. proposition was not accepted, aud after
, considerable contention and no little plain
s talk, a compromise was finally effected on
i 75 cents—an increase of 50 per cent. We
’ do not suppose Mr. Tucker will thank any
? one for intimating even, much less locat
J ing the responsibility upon him, of mov
' ing an increase of the tariff rates on iron
j ore or anything else. He is one of the free
s traders who has never been afraid oi
ashamed to say that he believes in the
r policy and theory of free trade, aud nevei
3 before has been accused of proposing te
' increase import duties on anything.

A ton* Lost Sister Revealed by the Antics
«!' a Rig Wave.
1 Atlantic City letter in Philadelphia Press.
* A young creature calling herself Bobo
el-Bulo opened a fortune teller’s booth on
the Boardwalk a few days ago. She gave
’’ it out that she was an Egyptian princess
} She dressed in a fantastic costume com
* posed piincipally of a Persian shawl, a
■ gilt belt studded with colored glass stones
* and a pair of baggy Nile-green silk trous
' ers cut short at the knees, where they
1 were fastened around her shapely legs by
1 garters of brown silk with gold clasps.
■ Her complexion was as dark as a light
i negroe’s, but her features were the purest
1 Circassian. Her teeth were pearly white
■ and her eyes entraucingly luminous.
Her booth speedily proved a centre of
1 attraction for old and young. .She told
the most astonishing fortunes in rhyme,
apparently composing the verses as she
spoke. Among the numerous patrons of
her booth was Frederick Lawrence Sellers,
a young man living in Kansas City. Bobo
el-Bulo treated all her male patrons alike,
old and young. She greeted them with
cold indifference, but told their fortunes
in a frank, straightforward yet maidenly
manner that was not without attraction.
To Sellers, however, who visited her
five or six times on different pretences,
she evinced a suppressed tenderness rather
calculated to turn the young fellows’s
head. Indeed their friendship ripened so
fast that he finally prevailed upon the al
leged Egyptian princess to go bathing with
him yesterday afternoon. The girl refused
to enter the surf deep enough to get her
head wet. Sellers noticed that she wore
gloves with long arms and the only part of
her flesh visible was her neck and face.
While they were disporting in the shallow
surf, a wave, larger than the others, swept
Bobo el-Bulo from her feet. She fell with
a little scream, the wave dashed over her
head and shoulders, she arose panting
and bewildered, the OQlor-matter washed
front her face and her skin was as fair and
white as any lady’s in the land. With a
cry of delight, right there on the beach,
before the eyes of huudreds of spectators,
Sellers threw his arms around her aud
kissed her again and agaiu. “Carrie Sel
lers,” he shouted, “Carrie Sellers, I’ve
found you at last.” Everybody made a
rush for the young couple, and soon the
romantic explanation which they made
spread from one end of the hoard walk to
the other. Bobo-ei-Bulo, the Egyptian
ortune teller, was none other than Carrie
Sellers, sister of Frederick Lawrence Sel
lers, the young Kansas City visitor. With
out being an absolutely bad girl she had
always shown a desire to lead a life free
from the ordinary trammels of conven
tional society. This disposition grew so
marked that two years ago. when she was
eighteen years of age, a dispute with her
parents terminated in her sudden disap
pearance from home. Her family lost all
trace of her. Six months ago her father,
a wealthy dealer in real estate, died, leav
ing the bulk of his fortune to his son
Frederick, with the proviso in his will
that if the missing daughter could be
found she was to receive §10,000,
The girl told her brother, whom she had
at once recognised when he visited her in
her booth, that after leaving home she had
learned a system of fortune telling from a
woman in New York and decided upon
making a living that way. Her life had
been extremely bitter in many ways, but
she had been too proud to return home,
not knowing of her father’s death. She
could not And courage, however, to shun
her brother, thus eventually leading to the
exposure and reunion.
Bobo-el-Bulo’s booth on the Boardwalk
is closed to-day. No Egyptian princess
sits therein to tell of the past and future.
But pretty Carrie Sellers and her delighted
brother took the early morning train for
their distant western home.

I a.11 goingto tell you of the extraordinary
change your Cuticura Remedies oerformed
on me. About the 1st of April last X noticed
some red pimples like coming out all over my
body, but thought nothing of It until some time
later on, wheu It began to look like spots of
mortar spotted on, and which came oft In
layers, accompanied with itching. I would
scratch every night until I was raw, then the
next night the scales, being formed meanwhile,
were scratched ott again, in vain did 1 consult
all the doctors in the couutrv, but without aid.
After giving up all hopes of recovery 1 hap
pened to see an advertisement in the news
paper about your Cuticuka Remedies and
purchased them from my druggist, and obtained
almost immediate relief. 1 began to notice
that the scaly eruptions gradually dropped oil
and disappeared one by one, and have been
fully cured. I bad the disease thirteen months
before 1 began taking the Cuticuka Remedies,
and in four or five weeks was entirelv cured
My disease was eczema and psoriasis. ‘l recom
mended the Cuticuka Remedies to all in my
vicinity, and 1 know of a great many who have
taken them, and thank me for the knowledge
of them, especially mothers who have babes
with scaly eruptions on their heads and bodies.
I cannot express In words the thanks to you
for what the Cuticura Remedies have been to
me. My body was covered with scales and X
was an awful spectacle to behold. Mow my skin
is as nice and clear as a baby’s.
