I - By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Lynchburg, August . 3. The Popu Mists of Virginia met here in btate con vention to-day. Nearly five hundred delegates, chiefly from the rural dis tricts, were in attendance, and queerly enough, there was not a negro among them; Among the visiting statesmen . were Terry Simpson, from Kansas, and , Congressman Pence, from Colorado. Simpson spoke to a mass meeting last ' night and Pence to-day addressed the .' convention. In the course of his speech he bitterly assailed Mr. Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle, quoting from a speech of the latter delivered some years ago in strong denunciation of the financial policy to which he seems to be now committed. Pence's speech created much enthusiasm. - ! The convention was organized by the election of Col. Robert Beverly, of Fau quier, as chairman, with the usual com plements of subordinate officers. i The following nominations were made unanimously: tor uovernor, h. R. Cocke, of Cumberland; Lieut. Governor, Ji Brad. Beverly, of Fauquier; Attorney General, William S. Gravely, of Henry. : A fund was raised for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a vigorous cam paign, l ne platform adopted declares For free silver coinage at the ratio of 16 to 1; a national currency issued by the General Government and distributed di rectly to the people on the security of their property; the imposition of a rigid income tax, and a reform of the tariff and internal revenue laws. It also de nounces the present election laws of the State as partisan, and demands their re peal and the substitution of non-partisan laws. The preamble to the platform severely arraigns President Cleveland v "who was elected for the express pur pose of relieving the people from the robberies of the McKinley tariff, but who calls Congress not to repeal the robber tariff, but to consummate the fraud of 1873, which demonetized silver."- The Convention was harmonious; but some of the delegates expressed the belief that the Convention did not put forward its strongest man for Governor. They seem to tear that Cocke will not make an aggressive candidate. .i SOUTH CAROLINA. A Keg of Beer Seized at Darlington by Diapensary Agents. ' . By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Charleston, Aug. 4. On Wednes nay a keg of beer, was sent to J. M. James, at Darlington, and was seized on its arrival and placed in the hands of the sheriff. To-day Mr. James received an other keg by the Atlantic Coast Line and it , has remained undisturbed at his saloon all day. Tudge Hudson has filed a supplementary opinion of his last decision in the Darlington dispensary case. He says among other things, that Justice Pope's order was not intended to dissolve his previous order of injunction, but was intended to stay proceedings ; also, that J. B. Floyd, dis penser, was guilty of contempt in vio lating his order of injunction and in vio lating Justice Pnne'a writ, nf t,. Hudson's supplementary decision does nui auer me status oi.tne case. E.

It was, to tell the truth, a funny look ing creature this little ' baby, with' its soft, silky hair lying in fluffy' patches over its pulsating head, and , its fat little cheeks all excavatedwith pristine dimples that as yet were un acquainted with 'the expanding prop erties of a baby's, laugh. - Its little eyes were round and wandering, and the lilliputian mouth seemed mado only to pucker up for a mournful wail every time some mistaken old lady would try to spread a; demon strative kiss aU over the little face. . Father and mother gazed upon this little newcomer into their household with all that pride and joy that can come from no fount save that of : the love born of instinct. He would take the petit bundle of infinitesimal baby and innumerable skirts up in his big hands in a gingerly, awkward sort of a way and look at it for a moment, and then he would lay it down gently upon the soft pillow again as if he feared it would break if it should by any chance bejpstled against any thing so tangible" even as a strong current of air. ' - Then, when all the rest had gone, the mother, in whose eyes now dwelt that new light hitherto Imknown within their depths, would gather up with a confident grasp the little thing that was all in all to them both and would insist upon calling the father's attention for the four hundredth and odd time to tbb many and fast multi plying beauties of the little creature, and would then be highly indignant if he did not repeat 20 times in suc cession the admission that it was the most beautiful and wonderful baby the world .had ever produced, i She would catch the infant up to" her bosom and kiss its little face until it scarcely had a fair chance to breathe, and then she would lay it down again, and moving slightly away feast her eyes upon! the little one's varied fihantis'when shrouded in the heierht- mip1 finohantment borrowed from 4 distance. . r It was a common enough sort of a baby after all, but then it was their baby, and they thought there had never been a baby in the world that could boast one-half the charms that were embodied in the little piece of humanity! they called their own. There might 'be many babies who could tip the beam of the grocer's scales a pound or two more man theirs, and there might be a thou sand parents who thought they had babies more beautiful than this little fellow, but this mother and father were not ready to admit the possi bility of the approximate correctness, even of such a line of reasoning. This was their baby, their only baby, and it was therefore the only baby on earth for them, and besides it was" their valentine. New Orleans Delta. . Melliferous F. Chubbins, Naturalist, There is an old negro in this city who swears he has seen flies eating glass. His name is Melliferous P. Chubbins, and he lives just a little distance beyond the popcorn vender's shop. People who use the electric lights often find small holes in the glass globes, which they have to patch up with putty. This old fel low says he has seen the ordinary house fly, which often passes off for caper with boiled mutton, alight on one of these globes, cut a ridge with its serrated hind legs and then with its sawlike teeth cut clear through the glass. It then goes inside to see if the light itself is not a' big lump of extra clarified sugar. He says that the fly cats the fine glass dust and considers it an excellent substitute for calomel in removing bile from the system. Florida Times-Union. Antiquity of Tarring and Feathering. The practice of tarring and feather ing, which we regard as essentially, American, belongs, I am reminded by a note on the crusades which I made about 20 years ago, to our selves. To us the honor of invent ing or adopting that very disagree able mode of punishment belongs. Among the laws for the preserva tion of order when i Bang Richard sailed on his . crusade was one that any soldier convicted of theft should have his head shaved, be stripped of his clothes, have melted pitch poured all over him, after this be covered with feathers, and so set ashore at the first land that is touched.

At present the gates and fortifica-. i tions of Pans seem to Deuserul prin cipally for the levying of vexatious taxes upon the French people them selves. Of this we were forcibly re minded one day as we lapproached the Porte Mallot in company with a gentleman, who was on his way to fill a lecture engagement at one of the great schools in this . city.' . Our friend carried a bag containing a few books he was 'intending j to use, and the question to be settled before we could pass was whether. anything in the bag was taxable: ,To satisfy the gatekeeper the bag must be opened. ' It was -all dono quickly enough and with evident politeness, but it struck the- American mind quite unfavor ably, and of-course provoked it tp nu merous inquiries. -Paris; it appears, lays tribute in this way on almost her entire food supply and upon numer ous other things, and the money col lected is divided between the govern ment and the municipal authorities. By this means it comes to pass that many articles are doubly taxed, for in addition to what is assessed upon them at the gates of the city there is a tariff imposed at the frontier. - After this we did not wonder that a visitor had to pay so enormously for apartments and board, though we did wonder at ' the long suffering pa tience of the. residents. Meat of every kind is taxed. On a pound of butter the city tariff is ;3 cents, and" on a pound of grapesit is about the same. If you should go outside and shoot a hare, you would have to pay for bringing mto Paris even a pri vate little acquisition of that sort- Upon spirits , and wine I the duty is considerable, and the authorities are exceedingly vigilant in collecting it. This is n point at which vigilance is quite necessary, judging from what one hears as to the methods of smug gling in vogue. We ar$ told that during the cholera scare liquors were surreptitiously brought in by means of coffins, and we have heard of one enterprising liquor dealer who cheat ed the government fort a long time by means of a dummy i footman that is,' he had a wooden contrivance on the seat of his carriage shaped and dressed like a footman, and this innocent looking luxury was filled, not with animal spirits', but with the kind which at "the gates of Paris are held to be contraband. i i -These ruses were decidedly clever, and it is said thaff had it not been for accomplices who turned inform ers they might havo continued in successful operation i indefinitely. Perhaps, however, the'countryman's ruse was the most effectual for the time, though it must i have put him to ' inconvenience afterward. He had only a bottle of icommon wine with him, but the gatekeeper knew his duty and did it. The tax was 4 cents levied upon an original valua tion of something like 13 cents. Common wine, it must be remem bered, is very cheap in France, and tbia particular bottlo would havo been cheap enough, ono might have thought, even after the duty had been paid. But theFrench peasant is noted for his thrift The burning question was how to get his quart of wine mto 'Pans without any further in vestment upon it, and the final solu tion was reached by his carrying it through the gates concealed, as in the case of the 'dummy footman, within his own anatomy.

It is the housekeeper who reaps most constant .benefit from the use of borax, and to one jof an experi mental turn of mind more and more methods will present themselves.
