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

situation, and ought to know best
and you have no real cause to quai

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

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 !

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 ^

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.
Road Congresses may meet and
form resolutions and advance old
r moth eaten theories about this, that"
? of whom Waller wrcfte: ^\An old school- *

Washington Letter.
[From Our Regular Correspondent.]
tVashington, D. C., March 27,1891.
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

Communion Wine.
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
