Gentle reader, dove-eyed reader, did you ever write a letter for the newspapers and find that, instead of publishing it, the editor found a convenient place for it in that gaping barrel of his known as the waste basket ? If you have then you know too well how it is to open your weekly paper to find everything else, except your idolized article, penned so carefully on "Taters as a Diet,'' "The Craps.'' Even the worm medicine and the warranted catarrh cure are there, but alas! nowhere is to be found your lines! and you are all broken up. Perhaps your communi cation was written down as an ideal child of your great big, illuminated brain and you grieve that it should thus find oblivion among the waste and trash of a printing office, I know -*--1 Ti? T Vrvv now you Teei, x ve uccu mci-.w go whinning around like a clay-ban! | dog that has been kicked, but it's nc use for Mr. Editor is boss of th< situation, and ought to know best and you have no real cause to quai like a Felix before St. Paul but tn again. In the mean time read som< other fortunate fellow's article whiei may instruct you how majorities 01 juries are to hang men or how t( secure better roads. We read so much about the happ] rocks, and I see on them the marks of a sculptor's chisel. I come still closer and I find that there is a subterranean recess, and I walk down the marble stairs, and come to a portico, over tho doorway an architecture of fruits and flowers chiseled by the hand of the sculptor. I go into the portico, and on either side there are rooms, two or four or six rooms of rock; in the walls 1 1. x_ _ i i i LU.WJICO, I.UW1C liurgv CUUU^'U MJ JJOJC1 i dead body. One of these rooms of rock is especially wealthy with sculpture. It is a beautiful and charming spot. Why ill this? The fact wa3 that Joseph, he owner of the parterre, of that seal thy manor, had recognized the fact : hat he could not always walk those j gardens, and he sought this as his own i ast resting place. What a beautiful i )2ot in which to wait for the resnrrec- i ion! Mark well the mausoleum in the oek. It is to be the most celebrated omb in all the ages; catacombs of Sgypt, tomb of Napoleon, Mahal Taj 'f India, nothing compared with it. Jhrist had just been murdered, and his ody must be thrown out to the dogs nd the ravens, as was customary with ?i x\ i- i I i uuiueu uuu?ca, muess mere we prompt ! nd effective hindrance. Joseph, the wuer of the mausoleum, begs for the ody of Christ, and he takes and washes ! l? poor and mutilated frame from the lood ancLihe dust, and shrouds it and ?rfumes it , I think embalmment "wssMamitted. Tien in olden times they wished to ubalm a dead body the priest with , me pretension of medical skill would ] iow the point between the ribs w%re ( te incision was to be made. Then the ( >erator would come and make the in- ^ jion, and then run for his life else he r luld be slain for violating the dead ( >dy. Then the other priests would t me with salt and nitre and cassia c d wine of palm tree and complete a e embalmment. But I think in this ? se embalmment was omitted lest there more excitement and another riot: te funeral advances. Present, Joseph, j ^ 5 owner of the mausoleum; Nieode- j is, who brought the flowers, and the j ^ 0 Marys. Heavy burden on the j ^ >ulders of two men as they carry the J ^ dy of Christ down the marble stairs i ^ 1 into the portico and lift the dead j ^ ignt; to me level ot tiie mciie in the \ k, and push the body of Christ into | > only pleasant resting place it ever j n i. These men coming forth close j " door of rock agaifSst the recess. The j ^ rernruent, afraid that the disciples j !ild steal the body of Christ and i ^ y resurrection, put upon the door | ^ seal of the Sanhedrim, the viola1 of that seal, like the violation of J seal of the United States govern- j it or of the British government, ah j ^ rs followed with severe penalties. j . SOLDIERS GUARDED IT. re . raiment of soldiers from the Towor ^ Antonio is detailed to guard that isoleuin. At the door of that tomb y( fht took place which decided the ition for all graveyards and ceme- ^ Sword of lightning against j g rd of steeL Angel of God against j . military. The body in the crypt j ns to move in its shroud of fine j , a and slides down upon tlie pave- ? t, moves through the portico, &p- j " c s in the doorway, comes up the 1 ; ble steps. Christ, having left his j toary attire behind him, comes j 1 in the garb of a workman as I ! it, from the fact that the women ! * ook him for the gardener, tere and then wag shattered the cai > so that it can never be rebuilt. ^ be tjpweij oT?arth}y maacniy canN 111 Will I I IMMBMMMBaaaWHM our otherwise progressive South? We j repeat, where are we in the matter j of good roads? -To any one who ! would like to know, we would say | just get out about ten miles from the J railroad, load up a couple of bales of j cotton on a two horse wagon, and ! 1 cre\t back to town with it and J ( v" J O your question is answered. It is al- 1 most an imposibility and a practical | 1 improbability that you get back at 1 all. Now, if a stranger come and * | try the trip, what impression does ho i| take away with him? It is summed up in about this matter, that we are ; 1 a trifling, lazy, ignorant, logger- 1 I headed, doD't-care-a continental set j | of people; with a set of law makers i who dont care a cuss whether we ; j } ever get ten feet from our front doors so that they can get their maws stuffed from the public crib. "We flftv that will be about the stranger's ' opinion of us, and we leave it for our j 1 readers to say how far wrong he j . would be. Now our third point is, that such ! a state of things throws us in a ' | stagnant condition. Whenever a country cannot find an easy access to the railroad, business is paralized ! and trade is to a certain extent 1 I brought to a stand still. Is such the ! case now? We answer yes, muchly i I BO. ( Our farmers who would, cannot i get their cotton to town nor get their . fertilizers home. Our country mer[ j chants, who are such a great conve [ j nience to country people, cannot get [ I their goods away from the depot. , | Foot and buggy travel cannot be in I duigea m wun any ucgi? ui t I fort. Now, after all this tell us that i such does not hurt our prosperity? ) : Why, you may as well tell us that a man can live with his arteries torn in ! shreds or breathe with his lungs j i torn from his body. . j We repeat it with a sentiment that j reverberates from the mountains to j the sea that the time has come for a r change.

Standing in this plaoe where ^ ^ he Lord lay I am impressed with the ^ ict that floral and sculptural ornamenition art; appropriate for the places of le dead.

Why, there ^ no place so appropriate for flowers a3 j ^ j le casket of the departed.

Ex-Senator Mahone became a Re- I -mhliVftTt and attained his first politi- J ;el prominence through as dastardly | political bargain as ever was made n this or any other country by persons as eminent as the President of :he United States and a member of :he Senate. By that bargain Mabone obtained much notoriety and absolute control of Federal patronage of Virginia as the price of his allegiance to the Republican. He has now made another bargain, by ivhich he hopes to again get his grip upon the throat of Virginia. His partner in the present enterprise is that blatant Washington negro dem T-1? T.nn^cfnn whri for O UXIUL JJX. uaugiMvu) ti?v j office holding- purposes claims a resi- | dence in Virginia, and who has broken | Mahone's power in his own district j by taking the negro vote away from him. j The terms of the bargain, as told , to me, are that Langston shall again j turn the negro vote over to Mahone, who is to resume his position as Republican boss of Virginia, in return for which Mahone is to urge the ' T i ?Afv TTarri name 01 j_ituigBLu.u u^uu ? son for one of the new United States Circuit judgeships. It is believed that !Mr. Harrison has already partly promised to elevate Langston to the bench and that he had this bargain in mind when he told the delegation of cheeky negroes, calling themselves "journalists", several days ago that he would be pleased to consider the name of a member of their race whom they considered sufficiently learned in the law to discharge the duties of a judge. ^Harrison is to get the solid Virgingia delegation to the next Republican National Convention for his pay. If he dares to appoint this negro Langston to the bench he will aler, era.f. find fllllv dftfierV6S the eX a ' " cration of ninety nine decent "white men out of every hundred in every section of the country.

Whether fermented or unfermented rines should be used for communion prvic.fi has hfifin a nufistinn of much tudy and discussion. Some think hat the Bible permits the use of Brmented wine ; but we must decide ! the wine used so abundantly then 3 the same as the fermented wine of he present day. The word wine is rentioned in two different ways in he Bible, as having a good pleasant ffect and as having a bad injurious Sect. For example, "Drink it with, merry heart; for God now th thy worksbut again, hou not upon the wine whc^^^Kj ed for at last it biteth like a-se^B^ ndsting'thlike an adder;" "Wine, 3 a mocker, strong drink is raging] nd whoso is deceived thereby i^ tot wise." Scholars tell us there are hirteen different words in the He>rew and Greek that,f translated into >ur language, are rendered "wine," .nd the best authorities think the food is unfermented and the bad ermented. Fermented wine was he only intoxicating drink in those imes as distillation, by which whisky nd other strong drinks are produced, vas not discovered until about nine mndred years after the Bible was written. It would be Inconsistent vith God's goodness for him to offer is a blessing that which injures at ast. Travelers tell us that the juice of he grapes, which - arejso abundant n Palistine, is prepared in many lifferent ways and used by the naives. They have, for instance, what s know as a wine cake, made from prape juice boiled down, which is larried on journeys and dissolved in water making a delicious drink; but t is Dot at all intoxicating as it is infermeated.
