Wesleyan Female Institute.
The final of the Wesleyan Female Institute

The art exhibition of the Virginia Female

—was held in the studio of the Institute on
Monday from 10 a.m. to Op. m., showing much
creditable work in the different departments
of art, done by the pupils during the past
year. The closing exercises of this popular

clock, consisting of a varied and delightful

Sunday School convention.
About one hundred delegates attended the
annual session of the Sunday School conven
tion of the Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran
church of Virginia, which met in Christ
church in this city last week—beginning on
Tuesday and ending Thursday night. The
body was ably presided over by Vice-President
J. A. Alexander of this city in the unavoid
able absence of the President, Mr. Coff man, of
Woodstock. The church was handsomely
decorated with flowers to harmonize with the
altar-hangings and the music by the quartette
choir added greatly to the enjoyment of the
occasion.
Mr. Charles C. Berry delivered iv a happy
manner the welcoming address, which met
with an appropriate response from Rev. A.
A. J. Bushong of Woodstock, thanking the
people of Staunton for their kindly reception.
Intermingled with the devotional services,
were many able addresses on appropriate
topics by the ministers and lay-delegates—the
closing exercises on Thursday evening being
of unusual interest. The.Rev. Edwin Hyle
Delk—now of Hagerstown, Md., but by birth
a Virginian—addressed the large congregation
present on the subject, "If Luther should
come to America."
It was a scholarly effort displaying great
erudition—his sketch of Luther's powerful
character being drawn with a masterly hand,
and the whole address from beginning to end,
being characterized by depth of thought, ele
gance of diction and grace of delivery.
The intellectual head and commanding
presence of the speaker, with his splendid
voice and elocution and soft Virginia accent
combined not a little to enhance the effect
which his eloquence produced upon his hear
ers. The singing of Luther's hymn "Em
F»ste Burg," which, followed immediately
upon Mr. Delks taking his seat, was a fitting
climax to the intellectual height to which he

For the Spectator:
As all eyes are now turned toward St. Louis,
which will be the first convention to an
nounce its candidate, with an equal interest
in Chicago, which is soon to give the country
the name of the Democratic nominee, our
people are no less engrossed with the possible
results than those of other places.
"Save the country," has been the battle cry
of every campaign since the war, and perhaps
from the foundation of the Republic; but the
most illiterate voter recognizes that not only
his country, but his personal welfare, wilt be
at stake this time. Yet, strange as it may ap
pear, there are a great many free-silverites
here. Some, who are regarded usually as
keen, sagacious business men, seem to have
lost their heads in the wild clamor for "free
silver." It is to be hoped their eyes will be
opened before election day.
The former hotel Brunswick, now called
Ford's Lithia Springs, was formally opened
last Wednesday, with a veritable flourish of
trumpets. Besides a string band, which Col.
Ford sent up from Richmond, the Waynes
boro Cornet Band contributed some soul
stirring music at night, whilst the grounds
were brightly illuminated. The string band,
of which I speak, now plays three times daily
on the Western Veranda of the hotel, while
the guests enjoy their meals. It is a very
pleasant adjunct, and will go far toward en
hancing the popularity of this resort. Mr.
McDowell, former manager of Ford's Hotel in
Richmond, is in charge, and has his wife and
children here for the summer.
Rev. C. W. Trawick preached his farewell

Miss Lou Withrow, who attended Com
mencement at Hampden-Sidney last week,
returned on Saturday afternoon, accompanied

AFTON, Va.
This is a time of changes and no man
knows what a day may bring forth. While
the mongrel politicians of the "G. 0. P." are
raising cain out in St. Louis, Mo., one thing
here in conservative old Virginia is being
clearly demonstrated!.
It is the people's confidence in and approval
of Harry Tucker's career in Congress and his
courage as a man to stand by his opinions,
without fear or favor. Mr. Tucker made a
flying trip over the Ridge the latter part of
last week, crossing at Afton and visiting
among old friends down the Rockfish Valley
to Lovingston, and he received a warm-heait
; ed, spontaneous ovation from Humpback
mountain to the Stage Bride. Outside of politi
cal opinions—which are respected when hon
est—the world loves a clearconviction of duty
and moral courage, both of which Mr. Tuck
er's course in Congress and at (he late Con
vention furnishes overwhelming proof. The
tenth District can trust Harry Tucker with its
interests and will show it.
"Children's Day" at Hebron Baptist Church
Sunday was largely attended. The singing by

are always glad to welcome native talent back
home.
The smokehouse of Dr. W L Williams, of
Avon, was broken into on Friday night and
robbed of sixteen fine pieces of bacon and a
whole barrel of flour. Petty depredations are
greatly on the increase and law and order on
the decline, it would seem. No where in Vir
ginia is less effort made to bring offenders to
justice. It is because they know they will be
shielded, or they won't vote, and they are
made up largely of the colored brethren and
his class in politics. Mr. Wm. Turner also
lost a large lot of meat one night last week.

en stairs," and chronicled their names upon
stones that will never crumble "till the clouds
roll by." Six spirited belled horses were
drawing the precious burdens of hay and
belles, and the observing bystanders readily
concluded that this same party had attended
"a red letter day" at Bridge water not long
since.

The New York Journal of Commerce
says, "every man conducts himself and
his affairs on the assumption that so
far as the immediate future is concern
ed he is going to live and keep his
health and make something out of his
business. In other words, there is a
certain amount of optimism that is
fundamental and essential. It is inter
rupted from time to time, but only
temporarily. This fundamental opti
i mism in the qommunity at large bas
( been checked of late by the fact that
political parties are about to hold
conventions and nominate candidates
and avow policies which may injuri
ously affect business. But this is
temporary. After the conventions are
held the universal confidence that
things are going to move ahead will
reassert itself. Men will feel that one
or both of the conventions might have
done worse; they will hope for a good
Secretary of the Treasury and for sat
isfactory results in the Congressional
elections, and they will feel again the
old confidence in the regular recur
rence of seed time and harvest and the
alternations of sunshine and rain, and
the mere fact that the conventions are
over and the worst is known will be
something of a gain. We do not say
that the adoption of the Ohio plat
form at St. Louis would create very
great confidence in the future, or even
that the adoption of the Indiana plat
form is all that the business interests
of the country require, but after the
conventions have done their work the
political situation will be less depress
ing than it is just now, and Wall
street will not tremble so violently at
the mere whisper of war.
As the N, Y. Journal of Commerce
says, so long as the revenue can be ob
tained with reasonable ease we may
expect that the cost of carrying on the
Government will be increased from
year to year, whichever party is in
control of Congress, with occasional ac
cessions of economy, which will not last
long. But at a time when business is
very much depressed and the revenues
are abnormally cut down, a Congress
with a proper sense of its responsibili
ties would have reduced the appropria
tions to their lowest limit by postpon
ing till better times expenditures not
necessary to Keep the wheels of gov
ernment revolviug. This Congress,
however, appropriated about $37,000,
--000 for rivers and harbors, for new men
of-war and for forts, all of which could
very well wait till another year. In
deed the amounts carried by these
three bills for the approaching fiscal
year will come to nearer $40,000,000, and
they commit the Government through
contracts which may now be entered
into to a for greater sum within the
next few years. This is most reprehen
sible extravagance nnder the present
circumstances, even though it might
all be justifiable at some other time and
with a surplus revenue.
Truth is still stranger than fiction.
On the return home of Mr. and Mrs.
Dorian, of Brooklyn, from the ceme
tery, after burying the body of a sui
cide they supposed was their son.they
found a telegram informing them that
their son was alive and well. The pro
prietor of a hotel in Larehmont, N, V.,
had an impromptu duel with the son
of a wealthy resident there, in which
the proprietor's watch stopped one
bullet and his. memorandum-book an
other. The son, however, was wound
ed in four places, and is now in prison.

Away from kindred dear,
We think of Him as one
Who wUI be eyer near.
How can we say adieu
To one we love so well?
Yet Christ and Home In view
We'll soon with Sammie dwell.
No words can we employ,
No photo can portray.
This manly, noble boy
Before"He passed away.
His spirit revels now
In mansions of the blest.
He Is at Home with Christ-
Dear Sammie Is at rest.
Then let us calmly say,
"Our Father's will be done,"
And when we pass away
With Sammie wear a crown.
