SATURDAY... . .. .... A FRIL. 1 6, 1 887.
Extra Billy Smith, of Warren
ton, Va., twice Governor' of the
old Dominion, 1 now ninety iyears
of age, has been paralyzed in his
right arm for many years , and
writes with his left hand. : 1 When
he dies the papers of that State
will have a story to tell of that
great man." ' . ..".'.'. '
"After all, a woman should ,havc
as much right to vote as a dude.
The- one knows nothing about
politics for want of inclination,
the" other for want of capacity."
The editor deceives himself in be
lieving the above. The women
of our country, if they would, pay
attention to politics, would make
as intelligent statesmen , (forgiv
ing us the Irishism), as adroit par
tisans as the men ever dared to
be. If not, why not ? When the

opposite sex was he not led in
his studies by a sister or a cousin,
or some other girl? If he can
candidly answer no, he can say
what the writer never could, for
he was educated with girls and
attended- various schools in at
least three States. . An experi
enced teacher said to us in 1875
that he never attended school nor
taught school except the very
best scholars were on the female
side of the house. These state-,
lieve hold good, in almost every
school in the land, what nonsense
for a man and a chivalrous man'
at that to make such an unjust
statement, not to designate it by '
any harsher term. All the Amer
can girls and women ask of the
sterner sex is opportunity, and
they will show themselves our
equals in educational capacities,
the use of language, and even in
eloquence. We vote for the woV
men,;every time. ;

. The Dispatch puts in a good
word for the old South. TheZfo
patch Is right. The new South
is like a bright and enterprising
man who takes hold of the busi
ness which his father has estab
lished and pushes it ahead. But,
all the same, he would Jiave ' Had
a hard time of it if he had set up
for himself without the old man's
credit and influence for a sure
foundation. , :
As on the woman question, you
are wrong again, Mr. Danville
(Va. ) Register. Look ' abroad
over our whole land, and you will
find that the men who have lead
communities, States, and the Na-
"tion with a big N, have been the
poor boys. Washington may be
an exception, and possibly Jeffer
son. But the next biggest man
ever born on Virginia soil was
Henry Clay . He was indeed a
poor boy. So was Patrick Hen
ry. Who of our Presidents ex
cept Washington was born to for
tune ? We cannot now recall
. Calhoun's early condition, but
Daniel Webster was born in a log
cabin, in New . Hampshire, the
smoke of whose chimnev curled
in me very connnes ot tne torest
inhabited by savages.; Neither
Lewis Cass, Levi Woodbury, Vice
President Henry Wilson, all New
Hampshire born.Benjamin Frank
lin nor Count Rumford a man
equally distinguished in the world
as a statesman, scholar, philan
thropist and vastly Franklin's su-

fortune, yet they were great men:
And we can point to the 1 leaders
in their lines to -Horace Greeley,
George i Peabody, . the '..Bosion
Lawrences; and hundreds of oth
ers who were humbly born, bu(
who were leaders in their day.
We do not believe that Jefferson
Davis'; father was a wealthy man,
yet he achieved greatness.) "
And look at such men as Morse,
Edison, Ericson, McCormick, and
a host of other inventors, they
were born poor a rid bream e Tea d
ers of 'r H- :
And so lnevery. other" v depart

boys have climbed to the top and
remained there. Indeed, if you
want to spoil the material for a
good man' and leader, give him
money , when a boy. and you will,
'nmeimes in ten, spoil him, in
spitepf fate.; , " "
:. Horrors of a Moorish Prison."
, A dispatch dated . April 13th,
at ;Tangier,ays : The Ameri
can expedition which left here on
April:4.th,'for the purpose of ar
resting the" usurers complained
of in the Perdicaris case and re
leasing the prisoners' detained , in
the 'Alchzar Laraiche, has re
turned here. All the Moors im
prisoned irt;the Alcazar Laraiche
under ; American claims', ' except
three who had died, were releasr
ed. .The .officers, of the. .expedi
tion report that the;, prison was
the fullest they ever saw. The
inmates ? ' were v half starved 1 art d
completely tbyere'd with ; yerrninr
No' ppportunitylSyas given them
to bathe or change their clothing.
Some of the t unfortunates wore
heavy chains on their ankles !and
wrists,, the keepers'- thinking by
this treatment , to extort money
from them. ;, A noted usurer nam
ed Gergeman, who had caused
the imprisonment of the majori
ty of the prisoners, ' was arrested
and "will be ' placed on. trial, at
Tangier on" the'eharge of ; falsely

How President Washington Lived.
, 1
, The style of living of President
Washington's family would not be
toieraiea 111 a rresiaenc 01 tnese
Democratic days, writes Frank
G. Carpenter, ina lettcnirora the
National Gaitol. "His 'servants
were all in livery, and this livery
was white, trimmed with scarlet.
The General- kept a chariot and
four horses exclusively for Mrs.
Washington, and for this he had
black postilions" in livery- He
rode himself in a, cream-colored,
six-horse coach, he appeared at
his receptions with a sword at his
side. He did not shake hands at
his receptions. The guests were
arranged in a ring, and he walk
ed around and . spoke to them
with dignity. Only those that
had the proper introduction, or
the proper spciaU standing, 'came
to his-levees, and it , was necess
ary to appear in full dress. ;
, . Peanuts and Sumac.
Tn a talk the other day with ex
Governor Cameron, of Virginia,
he referred to two industries of his
State by saying that Virginia
raises more peanuts than wheat
and that sumac gathering has as
sumed a leading position as an
industry.; The sumac grows wild
and iss gathered by the colored
people at the time of the year
; when they have nothing else to
do, f ,lhey pick the blossoms in
great bags, which they carry to
the cities, where the sumac is
dried and pulverized for chemical
and medicinal, uses. At Peters
burg, Va., which is the center of
sumac growth, the. production
amounts to $1,000,000 a yean
New York Tribune. .
An ingenious improvement in
the manufacture of tin cans for
preserving food is being introduc
ed, the plan consisting in so form
ing the lid that it is merely press
ed on and the can is hermetical
ly sealed, so that , no internal
pressure can remove the lid. Wa
ter boiled in a tin thus closed has
failed to force it off although! the
steam pressure has burst the can
itself. A pertny piece, , however,
used as a lever by being ; placed
under a rim formed around the
top of the cover, with the shoul
der of the can as a fulcrum raises
the lid with a remarkably,. small
expenditure, of power. - The prin
cipleirivolyed in" "the. device is that
of the?wedge arid lever:' The neck
of the tin on which the. lid fits is
formed at a very slight .'angle
from'the vertical, and the .rim; of
the lid is, made at' a correspond-1
Nn? angle, no solder: being used
ta form the jpint: ' By means - of
th is ar ran gem e n t , th erefofe- the,
opening, "of cans is rendered' a re
markably clean, quick, .aripsirri-
pie operation contrasting great
ly in these-respects vith.the, in
convenient method of opening
now in vogue. : ;.; ' ,f
