SCESEB AND INCIDENTS DOWN SOUTH ICOREESrOXDEXCE OF THE DISPATCH. CHKISTIANSBUBG, MONTGOMEBT CO., Va., October 4. At the last election in thiB county the Republicans carried their ticket by a small majority, and in consequence both parties are actively engaged in the can vass for Governor. General JIahone and others were at Radford, on New river, on Monday and aroused a deal of enthusiasm, which is spreading like leaven in favor of the Republicans. It is indeed amusing to hear some of the arguments against Mahone. "When a Dem ocrat he was lauded to the skies by Demo crats, but, presto change! "When a Repub lican "he is regarded as a bold, bad man" by Democrats. Said one Democrat: "How can you sup port a man who issued an order for the dis charge of every man who did not vote the Republican ticket?" Said George Lynch, in response: "Well, I'll tell you how that was. When my foreman told me of the order I said I would quit at once, and threw down my shovel. My foreman at once announced that no such order had been issued by General Mahone that it was merely talk of underlings, and had been twisted into an order to scare the weak." TVOULD VOTE FOE A SNAKE. By the way, the man Lynch referred to is a notable character. He told some Demo crats that if the Republican party nomi nated a "snake" he would vote lor him. Lynch is a stalwart Republican, and has two sons studying for the ministry. Your correspondent asked concerning his methods of conducting a campaign, and learned that whenever any of his colored friends went back on the party and their promises to him he usually gave them a "flogging" JUSt to remind the'm of their dereliction ana to get them in line for the next time. He wanted to impress them that the direction in which their interests lie is the Repub lican party. He laughed as he said he merely chastened them he did not hurt them much he was merely looking alter their best interests. He is quite popular with the colored people, and a man of con siderable intelligence. The fact that the Democrats thought General Mahone an ideal politician when he belonged to that school is accepted by the colored people as prool that he is to trusted as the head of the Republican ticket. He will carry Montgomery county unless all signs fail. ALL CBAZT FOE LEAENUTG. General Mahone is in favor of a liberal policy in the matter of free public schools, and it is an encouraging sign of the times to notice how eager the colored people are for the education of their children. An in stance of this mav be cited in the person of Anderson Watkins, now 52 years old, who for 28 years was a slave, near Salem, Va. When emancipated he came North to this place and when Captain Schaeffer's school was opened (referred to in previous corres pondence) his children, old and young, were compelled to trudge over the mountains nearly two miles, in all kinds of weather, for their "little learning." Now they are bright children. Your correspondent walked along this path worn by these children to the cabin ot Watkins, and on two Sundays had the pleasure of reading to father and mother and children sermons by Rev. Drs. Spurgeon and Talmage. Neither father nor mother can read, but they appreciate ana seemingly enjoy everything read to them. The second Sabbath your correspondent vis ited the cabin a number of colored people had been called in to listen to the reading of the sermon, and in like manner will they gather every Sabbath. So intensely eager was Watkins to learn that on one occasion he was presented with a copy of Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," and Sabbath after Sabbath he visited differ ent white friends and had them read a chap ter or two until the marvelous volume was completed. Such thirst for knowledge is what causes Captain Schaeffer and other Northern gentlemen to do all they can for the elevation ot the people whose degrada tion was caused by the white man. THET NEED NOETHEENEES. Colored people all say what is wanted here is more Northerners -and Northern pur chasers lor produce, and the whites admit the same. Indeed, it was only this morning that a leading merchant of Christiansburg said he marketed his produce to Philadel phia; that not long since he found himself with 5,000 pounds of butter on hand which he shipped East When again he had such an accumulation he would seek a market in Pittsburg. The choicest butter ever offered in any market is sold here at 12c per pound. In addition to the Northern families al ready referred to, your correspondent has found Hon. George Junkin, Judge of the County Court, to be the son of Eev. Dr. Junkin, for many years one of the leading ministers of Lawrence county, Pa. Judge Junkin is a Democrat, and has resided here for many years. . Nearly all the summer visitors here abouts have returned home. Judge Staples, of Richmond, who argued the celebrated bond case in behalf of the State, is still here, bnt will spend the winter in Rich mond. New Orleans and Philadelphia vis itors returned home a few days since. Rev. Mr. Johnson, of Leetsdale, Pa., and family returned two weeks since. A PITTSBtTBG COINCIDENCE. Mrs. Johnson is the daughter of Mr. A. D. Simpson, noticed in a former letter. By the way, Mr. Simpson was for a number of years one of the leading school principals of Pittsburg and Allegheny, having been in charge ot the South Pittsburg (now the Thirtieth ward) School; subsequently the First ward, Pittburg, and later the First ward, Allegheny. When he removed here from Lawrence county he drove overland. Heis a strong Republican, and took an active part in the Garfield campaien. He was denounced as a raiscegenist and on his barouche, when he went to church, were chalked derisive caricatures. Oneot his sons afterward wore to church on Sundays, on the lappel of his coat, a badge represent ing the caricature aforesaid. Finally a younger son of Mr. Simpson was knocked insensible by a rock thrown by a "nigger hater" and thereafter the strife ceased. Mrs. Simpson is now and has been Presi dent of the Ladies' Missionary Society of the Presbyterian Church for "seven years, and the ladies will not consent to her with drawal under any circumstances. Miss Lizzie Simpson, a graduate of the School of Design, of Pittsburg, who incurred the disfleastjee of the whites, years ago, for essaying to teach black children, is equally popular. She was away two years teaching in Honolulu, and now has two sisters in the far-away Hawaiian Islands, teaching. American talent is in demand on theselslands. The young ladies referred to received the very highest salaries paid :or instructors, and had their travel ing expenses repaid. Central America, too, has drawn upon this little place for edu cators, a Miss Figgett, a Southern ladv, having been engaged at a salary of 51,100 per annum. One good effect of taking a native Virginian to a new locality is to broaden his or her views of people and country, and Miss Figgett thinks that there are good people and good climes outside of Virginia. The aptness of a remark on the stump by Mr. Simpson mav be here ap plied. His opponent concluded with a brilliant peroration in which he thanked God herwas a "native of Virginia," and not an importation. Mr. Simpson merely said " he thanked God he was a native of the United States, amid great applause. EEMAEKABLE GBOWTH. Mr. Will Simpson and his brother Ed ward are civil engineers on the employ of the Norfolk and Western Railway Com pany,anli are engaged laying out several new towns on this line. In fact, new towns are springing up its entire length, and with the good feeling prevailing among blacks and whites and the progress in the matter of ed ucation, Virginia bids fair to take her place in the sisterhood of Republicanism and the pyramid of rich and prosperous States of the country. Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, are seven miles from Christiansburg. A. drive to this spot and its lovely environs is grand. The site contains 1,542 acres of ground, and it is two miles from Big Tunnel station on the N. & W. Railroad. A horse car con nects with every arriving train. The Springs Hotel should have remained open until October 1, bnt closed two weeks earlier on account of the wet, cold weather, of which there has been an abundance. Nearly 300 guests were registered during August, and the season was about as pros perous as that enjoyed by summer resorts generally. Mr. Fage. one of the managers, was on the crounds. and your correspondent and friends were allowed every courtesy at the various springs and over the grounds generally. SOME FAMOUS BESOETS. Yellow Sulphur Springs property contains abont 800 acres, lies higherin the mountains and is a beautiful and healthful place. It was still open on September 20, but the guests, were rapidly thinning out. The water at both springs is exceedingly health ful, and about all the guests do is eat, sleep, drink and bathe. Pennsylvania's quota of guests came from Philadelphia principally. Allegheny Springs, on New river, is 11 miles distant. It is the most recently de veloped summer resort, but was quite popu lar this season. When Generals Averill and Crook were at Christiansburg during the war, raiding and burning stations and bridges, their ob jective point was Saltville, 80 miles south of here. At this point were obtained the entire salt supplies for the Confederate armies. They were unsuccesstnl, however, in cutting off this place, but were prevented from any well-denned effort by the close of the strife. One other point worthy of mention, and which visitors from the North all desire to see, is Salt Pond Mountain, 24 miles south. On the top of this peak is this strange pond. It was once a deer lick, but in time it be came enclosed, and a beautiful lake adorns it. The lake is more than a mile long and OF GEEAT DEPTH. A summer hotel has been erected on the mountain, but it closes early in September. Riding over the lake in a small rowboat, one can see in the clear water the tops of the trees, growing from deep down in the ravine. A few miles below the waste of the lake forms the most beautiful cascades, and every visitor to the mountain views these wonderful falls and amuses himself or her self "killing rattlesnakes." A sojourn in the delightful mountains and valleys of Virginia is indeed healthful, and your correspondent will return to busi ness, after three months' enforced absence, very much invigorated, and with strong hopes for the rapid development of the Old Dominion. Her mountains contain mag nificent lumber in great abundance, and abound in the richest minerals, and her valleys pour forth the rarest medicinal waters, whilt the slopes and valleys have been and are being rapidly converted into fine producing farms. A little more North ern energy and capital and the future of Virginia can easily be predicted. It is freighted wth immense possibilities. Pebct F. Smith. QUAIL ON TOAST SCAKCE. Loulslanlans Goingislow on a Delicacy That May bo Poisoned. SPECIAL TEI.ECEAM TO TBI DISPATCH. ', NewObleaxs, October 6. The game season in Louisiana opened October 1. There is one uncertain feature this season about shooting that is likely to cause some demoralization the cotton worm. It has been the worst season for cotton worms since 1874. They have come by the millions, and brought their families to the fifth genera tion with them. It has been a big fight be tween them and the planters, but the latter have finally won. In some sections the crop has been cut down 40 per cent, but gener ally the number of worms have been kept down by a steady battle against them with paris green. Never has so much been used, or with such good effect, and enongh poison has been scattered over the Southern cotton fields in the last two months to kill every body in the world. During cotton worm season the game, and particularly the partridges, become wonder fully fat feeding on the little inseet They find him loaded this year well loaded. with arsenic, and the result has been to kill off nearly the entire crop of partridges as well as worms. Entire flocks of them have been found dead in the fields from eating poisoned caterpillars. It is greatly to be ieared that this game has been completely annihilated in certain districts, and even where some of the coveys have escaped and the hunter has a chance for some sport, there is a most unhappy suspicion attached to the game, that it may be poisoned. In the country districts the people have given up the idea of eating any insectiverous game until the poison season is well over, and it is impossible to prevail upon the hungriest tramp to indulge in "quail on toast."

VERT CAUTIOUS NOW. The President is in No Hurry About a Pension Commissioner, WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MAN. The Experience of One of the Ketr Dis pensers of Patronage. BICICLE EIDIKG AT THE CAPITAL rCOEBESPOOTENCT OF THE DISPATCH. 3 Washington, October 6. Politics will creep into conversation at Washington even at this dull season. A great deal of com ment wns caused here as elsewhere by the deliberation of the President in selecting a successor to Commissioner Tanner. The necessity for filling the vacancy as rapidly as possible was conceded by all. The day that the Commissioner's resignation was ac cepted Secretary Tracy wrote to Secretary Noble a little note urging the advisability of making the appointment and the an nouncement of it at an early day. Bnt the President went about the matter with a great deal of deliberation. It is characteristic of his action in many cases. He 'seems to move with more deliberation than any of his predecessors allowed them selves. Many cases are known where the commission had been made out and still the appointment was not annonnced for weeks. President Cleveland inaugurated the sys tem of personal inspection of applicants for place. President Harrison is following in some degree the system of Cleveland, and then in greater degree a system of espionage of his own. It was only natural, of course, that, having made one mistake in the Pen sion Office, he should not take many chances of making another. Another peculiarity of the President which has been much com mented on, is his apparent desire to intro duce into office the younger clement of the Republican party. XUEN ABOUT TAIE PLAY. He has shown on more than one occasion a disinclination to appoint men to offices which they held under other Bepublican administrations, and from which they were removed for partisan reasons. He is quoted as saying to one of his friends who came to him to recommenc a man lor reinstatement: "I would like to appoint this man. He has done a great deal tor the party from time to time. But I am getting tired of seeing a certain class of people going around com munities with collars on their necks en titling them to hold office by some divine or hereditary right" These were not, per haps, the" President's words, but I believe they express his sentiments on the subject of perpetual office holding.! "I have had just three experiences with office-seekers whom I have assisted to places, and I think they will probably be my last," said a good Bepublican who is engaged in business in this city. "The first case that came "within my experience," he continued, "was that of a man from myown town whom I had known for many years, and with whose wife I had gone to school. He was in rather hard luck, and I promised his people to get him a place here in one of the Depart ments, if possible. I succeeded in getting him a place with a good salary attached. He came on here and I called at his house once or twice. He has been here two or three years now and I have not heard him Bay 'thank you' yet. He was in my office one day to ask the location of another man, but he did not stop. My SECOND EXPERIENCE was with a man living at in; home. He wanted a place in the railway mail service as distributing clerk on one of the cars. I succeeded in oDtaining for him instead a place as transfer clerk at his home, where he would have less work to do and where his expenses would be less. It paid a little less than the place he wanted. I saw him shortly after the appointment was made and he told mehe was notsatisfiedwithitandthat he was going to ask to be given the other place. He wanted that or nothing. I asked the General Superintendent to give him nothing, and that is what he got My third experience was with a man who wanted to get an In dian school. He was not entitled to that or anything else, and he had no claim on me, but for the sake of his family I put in some work for him. I was surprised the other day to hear that he had received the appoint ment. I have never heard from him in regard to it. I think I am out of the office-seeking business now. Female bicycle riders are becoming numerous, I see, in other cities than this, in which the woman's bicycle was first used. New York and Brooklyn are furnish ing their share of daring women who prefer good, athletic exercise to sedentary useless nes3 even at the risk of violating the con ventionalities of so-called "society." Of course I do not allude to the professional bicycle women who appear in tights and trunks and ride the machines which were originally devised for the use of men. I am speaking of the women who are riding the safety bicycle in the principal streets of some of our largest cities clad in modest and becoming costumes, and who attract as little attention here to-day as the Chinamen who parade the city arrayed in robes of purple and violet and crimson silk. A FAMILY BICTCLE. But Washington, which originated the safety bicycle tor women, has now brought out something which is not known in other cities where women ride the two wheels, I will venture to say. It is the "family" bicycle, a modification of the woman's safety. I saw one of them this morning. A slender, athletic little woman, clad in green with a felt cap on her head, sat on the high saddle of a safety bicycle. To the steel rod which connected the handle bar of the ma chine with the front wheel was fastened a light but strong seat. It was quite narrow just wide enough to hold a little child of perhaps three years of age who was occupy, mg it ' The little one's feet hunt; down in fmnt quite clear of the wheel and the running gear of the machine, and he sat very still so as not to disturb the equilibrium of the rider. There was little jolting over the smooth asphalt of Pennsylvania avenue and the little passenger was safe enongh on the eminence he occupied, and apparently quite happy. The additional weight added but little to the task of the rider. It takes but a slight effort to propel a bicycle over the even pavements of Washington. And the bicycle, whichis spoken of as a selfish vehicle, was, by this clever device, made to do duty as a family carriage. I have seen this device adopted heretofore by men but this is, I think, the first time that a woman has ventured to use it There are several men in the departments here who take their children riding with them on their bicycles. One of them puts a pad for the little one "on the backbone of tho machine directly in front of the saddle. This position is hardly so comfortable as the other, but it is a bit safer. BOOM FOE THE BABY. There is one man with a tricycle of stand ard make who has built an extension root on his machine for the accommodation of his baby. It is not at all uncommon to see two boys riding on one bicycle. On the standard machine the passenger stands on the little step behind; on the machine with a little wheel in front and a big one behind the second rider stands on the little step near the hub of the big wheel, or on the foot-rests on what is known as the "back bone," in front There is so little effort needed in propelling the machines that the passenger is not a burden. These smooth asphalt streets tempt people to do all manner of odd things. Boys go to and from school on roller skates on the principal business streets of the city. On yapitol Hill they delight to "coast" down the smooth carriage drives. The (Wnrit. style of "coaating" is to take off one skate and sit on it, crossing the foot from which it was taken over the opposite knee, so that it will be wear ot tne ground. Walking up to it yon are very lifcely to meet ,one of these small boys coming down the pave ment cross-legged, apparently sliding on the baeof his trousers. The tricycle is put to various commercial uses as well as to those of pleasure. A num ber of stores make delivery of goods by tricycle. A big basket is fastened between the large wheels in front of the rider. Sev eral postmen use it in the delivery of the mails. I believe this was the first commer cial use to which the bicycle was put in England. A NEW CANDY STAND. There is a man who keeps a small candy stand on a tricycle. He travels about the city making sales from the saddle. Two ne groes have built a quadricycle car for pas sengers, which can be seen on the avenue any bright night. The two men sit behind one another on the front of the machine.and propel it by a vigorous leg action. They carry four passengers the length of the ave nue, from the Treasury Department to the Capitol, for a fare of 6 cents each. I was much interested at one time in a bit of filial devotion displayed on a tricycle. Every afternoon at 4 o'clock a double tricy cle, or "sociable," propelled by a pretty young girl, would come to the entrance of one of the departments. From the building would come on crutches a one-legged watch man, the father o't the girl. She would help him to mount to the vacant seat of the ma chine, and would strap his crutches on be hind. Then, taking her seat again, she would start the machine forward, and to gether father and daughter would work their way home. I have not seen the pair for more than a year now, ana .tney are probably separated by death or living in some other part of the world. Bicycle riding is not the only athletic sport in which Washington is interested. There are several boating and canoe clnbs here, which have a great many members, most of whom take an active interest in all out-of-door sports. The Columbia Athletic Club is the most prosperous of these. It has delightful club quarters down-town, a boathouse on the river, and a lease on a big island in the middle of the Potomac where tennis, baseball, racing and other sports are carried on seven days in the week. A PEOSPEBOUS OEOANIzlTION. The clnb is building a magnificent club house just above the State Department building, convenient to almost all of the de partments, which will be completed about February 1. John McLean, ot the Cincin nati JEnauirer. who owned the ground on which the clubhouse is being built, gave the club easy terms of payment and then sub scribed 10,000 toward the building. It will be. when completed, one of the handsomest athletic club buildings in the United States. It is not surprising that there should be such a taste for athletics here. The em ployes of the Government have plenty of time in which to indulge in exercise out of business hours, and during their stay in the departments they have so little opportunity to "stretch" themselves that they are eager for a chance to run and jump when freed from the thraldom of work. Except in rare instances, department employes leave their desks at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This gives them, in the summer, three or four hours to devote to exercise. Some of them go for a pull on the river; others for a game of ball; some to practice with the dumb-bells, the clubs and other athletic im plements. A very large number play ten nis. There are tennis clubs and tennis grounds all over the city. I suspect that the social feature of the game rather than its advantage as a means of exercise en dears it to the majority of those who play. O'Beien-Bain. DRIVEN TE0M THEIR HOME.
