Those who have watched clo=elY the deme-nor of Senaiors Tillman and Irby and read what each had to say in the newspapers for te past year, will not be sur4rised at the tone of Senatot Irbv's interview. The debate on the Sa'uda Conty matter brought. out the re-. feeling of our two Sniators to' wards eaci other, and r wa- too plain th-it they must sooner or l-ter part c"1mpn -.1. They ate getting farther anl fur:her anar', an- we do not know, nor do we care, wha' wi I be the consequencea. We have no iat rest in ir, aq we do not admire either of the zentlcmen as some of cur friends do. Irby has done a great deal 1,r Till n%u, and did it when :Tillman most needed friends, b-it, for some reason, Tillman wants to get rid (f the junior Senator. Possibly it i< becaue he thinks that an alliance with Governor Evans, who will in all probabi i!y op pose Irby for tha Senate, would make a much stronger combina:ion. In onr judgrent, however, Irby hai taken the wrong position to' "down" Tillman when he attacks th. suffrage plan of Tillman's eom:nitlee. The people themselves hwte clamored for a settlement of this question, and it is impossible to settle it, even tempo rarily, without somne educaLional and propen-y qualificatio!. I rhy, how ever, proposes to employ the same weapon by wbich Tillmnan gained ascendency, namely, by appeai'g to the prejudice. of the people-"the poor and illite rate" being his-batt'e cry. IE is the same old fatniliar c-inpaign thunder of 1890--"the catuse of the c.>mmnon people." But it is not our fight, and we h.aill stand off at a good safe distance and watch with interest the flash of Irby's sword,.-not caring a snap whether he ever picks up his thrown-away-scab bard. AN INTERESTING LETTER FR~OM VIRGINIA. MAr. Editur: Thinking some of our noble old Confeder ates of South Caro lina will be intereste-1, we beg leave to give you a little descripiion of the "Reunion of the Conafederates" which took place atiFairfax Court House on the second day of this mouth. Quite a number of parties went from this section of the county, one of which went from Ashland Farm. The Court House is about t welve miles from here so we commenced our journey shortly after.breakfast and found onrselves at the end of it abont elev'en o'clock. When we arrived at the Court IIouse y-ard (it- was here the rtunion took place) we found quite ana assemblage -. of people and when we -aw such a number of Confederates wearing their -badges, we wete delighted that we had one in our party. About twelve * the crowd had pretty well gathered. Sjon the speaking commenced. First let us mention the fact that there was a nice pleform erceted. The * idraperies back of it were very pretty. Every where conld be seen the national colors, whilst "The Cotngnered Banner" occupied a conspicuous plac on the grounds. 'The first seaker introduced was thr lIon. Walter Moore, a protmmett law:- er of the place and ex-State Sena tor. He spoke~ of the bravety of the Confo,leiates, of their struggles dating the war &c. Then he went on to speak of things especially connect. d with this county etc. He was much apauded, and afler he retird, the .ban i struck up "Bonnie Blue Flag." Robert E. Lee, grandson of the late General Lee, was tbe next man on the statnd. He is a young man of noble appearance and a graceftv ad dres:. Ue began by saying, how gtratifying it is to see such a large crowd on tbis occasion. HIe mentioned several battles which were gained by our men, sas ing what cause they had to be elated at the begininga of-t' e war and how Iheir hopez were shat :ered. But he reminded us t!.at though we were defeated, we have reasonls to feel p-roand of trae bravery of our men etc. He spoke to') of thce pleasure it affords the few remaining~ Confederates of 'the Marr Camp :o meet in this pleasant fashion every year. ~He mentioned the fortitude 'with which the Souther wotnen bo'e their aflictions, and went on to speak of our women of the prer nt day, comn ptimentingf&them upon their modesty and sensibility in not being lhke some of the females of ce.itaina prtionas of the United States. Hie evid-t y h is great veneration for the fair a'd weaker sex, when he deplore.i thc fact, that woman who is the suparior of matn should try to beeonie his i.(ala by adopting masculine eu-tom;s, and worst of all, dress. Mr. Tyer (t vetern) was the last speaker, and he was also much ap piauded. It was then announced that the speaking was over, as it was time for churet. Many people were disap pointed at the non-appearance of Hampton, Bradley, Johnston and Hon. Conrad, which men had special invi tations to grace the occasion by be:ng present. Our pzr. y enjoyed a nice collation under the tree;, and as our apetite waW:sharpened by our ride, wc did ample justice to the repa.t. After finishing esting we went in the Court Uouse to tea iecC,rd Offl,e, where we had the privilege of seeing the origi. nal will of Washing:on. It i, very much dilapidated on account of havin;2 been handled a gre.it deal, conse quently it has been put in a glass case, and .hough you caunot take thie will in your bands, you can sce the writing very distinctly. Of course it is yellow with age, but under the circumstances it is very well preserved. We a!so saw the will of George Mason, which at any other time would have inspired great reverence, but of course we were more impressed by that of the "Father of ur Country." We saw quite a curiosity iu a boook of court records, the writing of which dated as early as 17-12. These docu ments (as well at some others in the office) are very valuable, and a fire proof building which is now iu course of e.ection, will be their repository some time in the near future. After our visit to the Court House we went to the jail, then we spent the rest ot the evening in walking around the town. About four o'c!ock we sttrted for home, and upon reaching it we were pretty well tired out, but we did not grumble for we felt fully re paid for the trip. -Since the reunion we p,id a ;-Cy delightful visit to Mt. Vernon, going from Alexandria by the elec-rie car. The ride was charming and we saw some lovely scencry. Un the way we pasied W#l inton, which was the home of Washiu:on's private Seere tory, Tobias Lears. Alter a ride of thirty m;nutes we arrived at the gates of Washington's grand old home. We spent two or three hours there, during wbich time we on"y reetd a 0.arter of an hour. The dcer park vas ir-tere:ting, also the old garden. .he most remarkable :hing in tile arden is the boxwood, which is said to have been planted one hundred :ud ifty years ag). Prominent among the trees is a large magnolia which was pianted by the haud of Wasbington. The conservatories are very fine, beirg titled with exotics of every descriptio:i. The gronuds are in perfect order, and everything is beautifally kept. We visited the tomb of Washington, and upoe seeing it we were filled with awe, which graduuvly passed away and gave us good tim3 to take ill everything connectedN with it, so we left it with an impression of it on our mind, so that we can disti:.ctly s.e it iomagination. After we walked over the grounds we visited the mansion. The most interesting rooms are Wash ington's, Lafayette's, t,e banquet haIl and the music reom. Tre things in Washington's chlalnber are surely sufficient to inspir e reverenc3 in the heart of the patriot-the bed on which he died, the chair on which he sat, a trunk of his and the old fa-hioned bareau are certainly articles of great value as well as curiosity. Among the things particularly noticeable in the musie'room are a harpsichord a'uip stool of Nellie Custis', a flute of Gen. Wahington's and an .old table on which Lafayette played whist. In the corner of this room is a case full of enriosities, containing a poir of glasscs which belonged to the Genera!, and a silver heel off of a shoe of Martha Wshington, besides many other litt le hin-es, too numerous to mention. In the dali or entry are several jthings of vahlt in the shape of a dIregsing case nad three swords of WaThington. Ill a glass case hanging againist th.e wall is the original key of the Bastile Prison which was presented by -Lifa vette te his best fiend after the det inoishment of that prison. The South Carolina room is very handsome, and many boast of a treasar-e in ani old sideboard and a pair of andirons wvhichl bespeak of days tL at are no m-i-e. The car-pet and curtains of this r-oom are very handsome; as band-ome es any in the house. We canid sp:eak ot the libr-ary, the banqueting hall and several others but our timne nxo- you space will not permit this. We will end by savingt that we spent a mnost delightful time at this grand old place, and we wet-c treated with every defrence by the officials who seemed to take gr-eat pleasmn e iln answe: jng any~ que.tions which the visitors h.Lppenled to, a-k. We will leave it to some future visitor- of Mt. Veraton to tell of the thinlgs whbich we have neglected to speak of, and he or he will probably <t1) ihem nre justice than cou d v-our- humnb'e ser-vanit. Nelle.

A Minister S D=Iness, Indigestiom Health Restored Headache vwmCured By Dr. Miles'-Nervine NN || .% SOWADAYS when competition is so sharp and keen,. when -the struggle for wealth, position, or a bare living is so severe, when it takes so mu6h more effort;' so much'more brain power to ac -comnplish the sameresult than it did a few short years ago, men and women are so liable to overWvork thieinselves. Before they are aware of it they become .-rvous, sleepless, exhausted and irritable. They are tired, languid, nerveles. atnd physically are going down-hill at a rapid rate. Dr. Miles'' Nervine Restores,-brings~ back health.-CUES.-jUSt such people. The RN.I. V. McCarty, pastor of the First United Brethren church of Wabash, Ind., writes Nov. 19, 1894: "I was very healthy until seven years ago, thought I could stand anything; but, from overwork and exposure, I was stricken down with brain fever and - M-L narrowly escaped death. Singe that time I have suffered more than ever. "It began with neuralgia and a continuous, terrible pain in- the left side; at times I was dizzy and had the severest of headaches. My digestioa was very bad and I had a great deai of stomach trouble, and suffered untold agony. I was constipated nearly all of the time. I was thin in flesh and so muchi re duced in nerve force that I had little life and no ambition. "Six weeks ago I began taking Dr. Miles' remedies and have taken' nearly two bottles of the Restorative Nervine and three boxes of the. ierva and Liver Fills. The result is truly marvelou's. I feel 11ka a boy ag.;:h. I L-tva gained eighteen pounds and have more strength and nerve force t'an I have had at any time in the past seven years. "Last evening at the close of service,. I publicly stated to the large audi ence the facts of. the marvelous benefits that I had received- from your rme dies, how they had given me strength and hope and vitality to better go on with the work of the Master. May the Dear Master abundantly bless you." ,Tanuary 30, 1895, he again writes: 'Prior to last October, when I began the use of your valuable remedies, I was almost an entire mental and physical wreck, but now, thanks to Dr. Miles for his Restorative Nervine and Nerve and Liver Pills, I am a healthy and exceedingly happy man.- Before I began the use of your medicines I very seriously contemplated resigning my position as pastor of the First U. B. church of this city, but now with restored health I can remain, to the great joy of my people "Alter two months revival work, two services each day, I am still strong1 and well. May the dear Master of life abundantly bless you." D - 9 *Restores f.
